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.

      They were giving those PFF analytics a priority...

      I think they have totally tied themselves to BY9. Good luck with that.  If Dan can get that defense really stout he may be able to survive an offensive overhaul.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      I think a couple of these will turn out better than a quick first impression might indicate.  Specifically the GB guy. I mean, that team and organization is depleted of talent and kind of headed towards the bottom. But I think the dud has some skills.  Head coach in college, with NFL cred too. Tough situation he is taking on.    And I hate to say, Atlanta.  Stefanski might be unleashed lol. Still has a QB deficit though. He’ll get a ton of owner support I think. Blank badly wants Matt Ryan to succeed.    I was cold on Tennessee but they are requiring Saleh to hire an experienced OC and they have some pieces on defense. It might be a little better than I expected at first. Won’t be great anytime soon though.     Harbaugh is proven and a lot of the NFC East is pretty shaky.    I think Baltimore could have fuged up. They apparently are allowing their QB to rule the roost and that ia really a suspect strategy.  OTOH that QB is very potent on the field and could make a mediocre coach look decent.     I am close to there on Buffalo, as far as did they fug up. I am not real optimistic for them, but could be totally wrong.    Pittsburg is the most interesting because of their incredible hiring success. One of these times it ain’t gonna work out so smooth for them. I mean they are kind of due. Will it be this time?     Arizona? Graveyard.  Las Vegas? Probably the same thing. But they might resurrect NE mojo in the desert. I guess it could happen.
