How can I keep using my macbook while it is plugged in to the TV with HDMI cable, so I can watch movie on it ? Someone told me I can change it for a dual or double display or something but I am not sure what that is ?
MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.4
Hello evstolarska
There are a few ways to do this, the first is Mirroring where what you see on your screen will be the same on your TV. The second is Extended Desktop where your TV is the second screen. You also have the option to basically work with the lid closed but you would need a keyboard and mouse connected to make it to where the TV is the only monitor. Check out the articles below on how to do all of these and choose the one that fits your operating system on your MacBook Pro.
