Mirroring the MacBook Display

“Mirroring” what is displayed on your MacBook screen is easy! Mirroring is done so that whatever is on-screen will be displayed on your television after the MacBook2TV cable has been plugged in.

Step 1: Connect your MacBook to your TV. 

Step 2: Click on System Preferences. After connecting your MacBook to your TV, the F7 hotkey will be activated. This will allow you to activate the Mirroring Mode.

Step 3: Select Displays once the drop-down menu appears.

Step 4: Another menu pane will emerge (Display Preferences). Click on Arrangement.

Step 5: On the lower left hand corner of your MacBook’s screen, you will see a check box named Mirror Displays. Click on the check box to activate the Mirroring for all connected displays. At the center of your screen, you will see a configuration area where you can make other changes as to what will appear on the other displays connected to your MacBook.

Step 6: Mission accomplished! If all went well with the mirroring, your television screen should be mirroring your MacBook display.
