Trouble Connecting MacBook Pro to Sony Bravia HDTV

So, I recently purchased a 32" Sony Bravia HDTV and planned on being able to hookup my MacBook Pro to the TV so I could display the laptop onto the screen of the television. I also got a Belkin mini display port to HDMI adapter that is now connecting my MacBook to my TV via HDMI input 1. However, when I click the input button on my TV's remote, only TV, PC, and USB is able to be clicked on while HDMI 1 and 2, video, and component are all greyed out and unable to be selected.

How can I change this so I can select HDMI1?

Also, I've read and watched numerous tutorials on connecting a MacBook to an HDTV. They all say to click the apple menu, system preferences, displays, and then "arrangements." However, arrangements doesn't show up and I get a message saying "The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer." I'm not sure if this is directly related to not being able to select HDMI under the inputs on my TV's input menu, but I am starting to get frustrated. If arrangements shows up, I know I just have to check the "mirror displays" box and it should be up and working.

If anyone could provide any insight or ways to troubleshoot this problem it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Your macbook isn't pushing a signal that's why your HDMI input is grayed out. When there is a signal going into the input it will be selectable. I don't know a whole lot about macbooks because apple is teh sux but that's why it's not working for you. The issue is on your computer side and not the TV.

      FA may or may not be the best option each time. You know as well as I do that the LT is the highest paid position on offense behind QB and WR. If you have cap concerns, it would be better to draft a quality LT and hold him for 3-4 years before you have to sign him to a long term (and expensive 2nd contract). I wouldn't want to acquire a run stuffing DT in FA if I could get a younger one much cheaper in the draft.  Let's say no good Safties are on the market when prior to drafting. Once again you'd go to the draft. FA is a good way to feel out the roster prior to the draft, but it's possible to REACH there too. FO's usually end up over playing guys (at least at certain positions) who have already peaked. Besides, you always have to consider that the team that let them go didn't think they were worth the price they were asking to retain them. That certainly applies to our defense. We could draft the BPA at any level of our defense and immediately improve our team. A stud on the line beside DB would help the the run and pass defense. Our LB core needs a thumper/impact player at any position. We need another CB to play alongside JC. We have yet to see a Safety on our roster significantly impact a game this year.

      Maybe Rod will change it up and slot Bussi in net. Why risk the inevitable injury to Freddie this early in the season against a team that will likely win regardless.  Just show up and play to win, that's all I ask.

      Well, I feel the same way about pharmaceutical, junk/fast food and political ads. They all cause active and KNOWN harm to the populace but we are the penultimate corrupt Western country, so that's just where we are as a society.
