A:
probably because there is no audio output through the mini display port. the hdmi connection in this case is only transmitting video. you may need to do a separate audio connection from your audio jack.by

I also couldn't get it to work at first, but I figured it out. Go under audio and select HDMI. It should work then. If it doesn't work stop the movie, and select HDMI before you play the movie, then start the movie and it should work. At least thats what worked for me on my mac. Hope this helps.by

This adapter won't work for audio, it is strictly for video only. If you want one that has both video and audio together, check out monoprice.com for that specific cable adapterby

A:
Make sure your Mac detects your TV. It sometimes takes time for it to recognize it or change to another HDMI connection. I had the same problem and then I connected to another HDMI. Not sure why that worked but it did. Also make sure you Mac make allows for audio stream through HDMI. Check internet and youtube for this.by

Q:
I can use this product to connect my new Macbook Pro to a couple of TVs in my home but it just does not seem to want to work with my Mitsubishi 65" rear projections screen TV (which is HDMI compatible). I have tried different HDMI cords, different ports on the TV that work with other products but nothing seems to get the Macbook to recognize the TV. Any ideas?by

A:
I can't say for certain whether this will work, but try using a mini-to-VGA connection from your Mac laptop to your TV. For me, one TV "reads" the Mac signal as analog (VGA) and another TV "reads" the Mac signal as HDMI.by

Answers
A:
Check to see if your MacBook Pro 7" year and make have audio and video through the mini-display port. I believe you can check on the internet at (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241)I have a 2011 iMac Desktop and it works great with my Plasma HDTV.
Lots of free content on the Internet that is viewable on HDTV.

Sounds like the Adapter Shorted Out. This can happen for a number of reasons that all don't have to do with the Manufacturer. Regardless, I'd Exchange it.by

We would need to know more details to fully answer your question. Can you provide more details? Are you not seeing any power/lights, etc? Have you ensured it is securely connected? If you still experience issues, I would recommend bringing it and the receipt back to the place of purchase to pursue warranty options. If you have any issues at the store, then give Rocketfish Support a call at 1-800-620-2790 from 7am CST-12am CST for assistance.by
