Ask an Expert
I have my apple mac plugged into tv via hdmi cable. It displays my screensaver on the tv but not the aflapp that is open and ready to watch. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi Paula,
Thanks to reaching out to us! Once your Macbook is plugged into the TV via HDMI cable, you’ll need to drag the video window to the far part of your screen as though you were taking it outside of the boundaries of your laptop screen, which should make it appear on your secondary display – in this case, your TV screen.
Your other option is to go into the Displays part of your Preferences folder on your Macbook. After you click on “Detect Displays”, you’re going to want to choose the “mirroring” option, which should make content between your laptop and TV display identically.
Hope either of these options help!
