HDMI to TV doesn't work

I'I'm on a road trip and have been watching Netflix every night via the Apple HDMI adapter. In a new room last night and the TV said no signal. I know it isn't the HDMI cable because I tried it with the in room DVD player. I don't think the adapter would suddenly stop working. Has anyone found TVs that don't work with the iPad?

Yes, the adaptor could suddenly stop working. Things like that generally either work until they don't.
Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

HDMI Audio Output doesn't work in Windows on Retina MBP

When I'm using Windows 7 (with BootCamp) on my Retina MacBook Pro, I like to connect it to my TV using the HDMI out to watch movies. However, when in Windows, it doesn't seem to output the audio to the TV. Instead, it plays through the MacBook's internal speakers. I don't know how to change it, and there doesn't seem to be in option in the Volume Controls in Windows.
Anyone have any success having both video and audio outputted to a TV in Windows 7 on their rMBP? If so, how?

Try downloading and installing bootcamp 3.1 it fixed my sound for me.

HDMI Lightning Adapter doesn´t work on iOS7 for Ipad??

It was working perfectly with iOS6, and now it only reproduces the sound of the stream. Any suggestions or solutions (besides going back to 6)?
Thanks

I'm having a similar problem. So, here are the details.
I have an iPad 2 with an Apple Digital AD Adapter. I am trying to connect it to a Samsung P2770HD television.
The video switches between a noise screen (1 sec), a blank screen (1 sec), a static picture of the iPad screen (1 sec), a blank screen (1 sec), and then back to the noise screen (1-2 sec). The television is reproducing the image as if the signal is being continuously interrupted (i.e., cutting out and cutting in again). Sometimes the whole process stops and my TV presents a "No Signal" screen as if the HMDI cord is not attached to an input.
I've alternated between iPad2 video settings in various combinations. The widescreen on, tv signal NTSC, produces the best "static picture", but the image stays on the screen for no more than 1 second so obviously, I can't watch video.
I've alternated between all of the Samsung HMDI video settings in various combinations.
I've restarted both machines. I've alternated between trying to get it work from the main ipad2 screens as well as within apps (e.g., YouTube or Netflix). Nothing appears to work.
I've tried two different HMDI cables, both of which work with other inputs.
Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome. Many thanks, DJ

HDMI doesn't work, but MDP- DVI- HDMI works

Hello!
I just got my new Mac Mini and tried to connect it to my TV (a Samsung LE22S8) over HDMI, but this doesn't work since the TV reports "unsupported resolution" (it's the TV's native resolution of 1680x1050, where I also checked all frequencies using an external program and they are as written in the manual of the TV).
However when I connect the TV over a Mini Display Port to DVI adapter, and then use a DVI to HDMI adapter (so that the TV is still using the HDMI input) it works fine.
So what's the difference between MDP->DVI->HDMI and HDMI->HDMI (all resolution and pixel frequency settings are identical)? What can I do to get the HDMI->HDMI solution working?

It also appears that there is no conversion when HDMI-video is extracted from DVI, only that the pins are shuffled.
If direct DVI works on that port, then HDMI-video with an adapter should work as well. As I mentioned above, VGA is present on DVI-I ports on a separate set of pins, and VGA working or VGA not working has no bearing on your problem.
If a Mini DisplayPort is involved, the most common issue is that the Mini DisplayPort connector is not inserted firmly enough. It has a lot of pins and you have to press hard to seat it.
Other possibilities are that the resolution you selected is beyond the capability of the display device, or that the adapter is bad.
Is this the stock display card, or one you added later, and what model?

I bought a mini DVI to HDMI convertor and a HDMI to VGA cable to connect my mac book pro to a tv but it doesn't work any one can help.\\\\\

I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404

Rocketfish Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter doesn't work

I recently bought a Rocketfish adapter for my late 2010 Macbook Pro and it doesn't work on my TV. I'm going to try swapping it out tomorrow to see if that's the problem, but just in case it wasn't, I thought I'd come and ask someone who'd know the answer. The TV is an Insignia TV, the HDMI cable works - we use it for out BluRay player - the adapter just...doesn't work. When I turn the TV on, my screen briefly goes to a light blue, then back to my normal desktop. Mildly frustrating that this won't work. Anybody have any advice they can offer?

CLICK "SYSTEM PREFERENCES", THEN FIND AND CLICK THE "DISPLAY", GO TO AND CLICK THE "ARRANGEMENT" AND CLICK "MIRROR DISPLAY" PROBLEM SOLVE GUARANTEE, AND ON THE AUDIO PROBLEM, GO TO "SOUNDS AND CLICK "HDMI" OR "VGA" IF YOU ARE USING VGA CORD. NO NEED TO UPDATE THE SOFWARE. WORKS LIKE MAGIC.

Dr. Bott Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable doesn't work.

I'm trying to connect my MacBook (mid 2010) with my tv and I can't get it working properly. I have the HDMI cable, and the mini display port to the HDMI cable. When I connect the computer to the tv, the computer screen turns light blue like it is about to synchronize, but the tv screen remains black. After a moment, 2 boxes appear on my tv screen. One says "HDMI1: and the other "no signal detected".
I've tried with "detect displays", I've tried connecting to all the HDMI ports I have on my TV, I've tried basically everything but it still doesn't work.
This is the adapter - http://www.drbott.net/product/7395-MDPA/
My TV is a fairly new Samsung, and everything else is working fine, I don't know why this won't function. It's frustrating me.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When I have this problem, it is because my Macbook Pro is using "Integrated" graphics vs the "Descrete" graphics. I control this via the gfxCardStatus menubar utility.
You could also try reseting the smc controller

and/or resetting the PRAM

DVI to HDMI doesn't work with Panasonic Monitor

Hi all,
I have a Panasonic monitor, model TH-50PX75U that we've used with my Macbook Pro. I have an DVI (large style) to HDMI cable that we connect the Macbook with, and it works fine.
I also have a MacPro that I want to use this monitor with. It has 1 full size DVI display port and 2 mini display ports. In the past I've used the DVI and one mini port to connect 2 monitors at once one the MacPro and it has worked fine.
I tried connecting the Panasonic monitor to use on my mid 2012 MacPro but I never get a picture. I reconnected one of the other monitors to a mini dispplay port and can see that the MacPro recognizes the Panasonic monitor. Both monitors show up in the Display section under System Preferences. I've tries various settings for the Panasionic monitor but I can never get anything to display on it.
What am I missing here? The MacPro is a mid 2012 with 3.2Gig Quad Core / 6 Gig ram / Radion 5770 graphic card, and runs ML 10.8.3.
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks!
Ray

Ok, so I had time to do some testing and here's what I've done:
I plugged in my Macbook which does work on the Pana monitor, and looked at the Profile. I then compared it to the Profile on the Mac Pro. There are some differences which I'm guessing have to do with different HW. I'm going to include some photos of the working and not working monitor scenarios do you can see what I'm seeing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this work?
Photo1: Shows the Macbook and the Pana monitor together using DVI to HDMI cable to connect the two.
Photo2: Shows the display settings with the small monitor and Pana connected to Mac Pro. Notice there are no numbers in the diplays. Mirroring them doesn't work either. The small monitor is using a DVI to mini port adapter to connect to the graphics card, the Pana is using an HDMI to DVI cable (same one I used with the Macbook) to connect to the DVI port of the graphics card.
Photo3: Both monitors are on. The Mac Pro knows the Panasonic is there but I never get a display on it.

I upgraded to mountain lion, now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work

I installed mountain lion and now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work. I did a disk permission repair, but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

My internet card will only work on 32bit,and it sounds like mountain lion only works on 64bit so that must be my problem. I think I will have to upgrade my internet or go back to lion.

Belkin HDMI Switch - Apple TV doesn't work?!!

Hi all,
I have just bought myself a Belkin HDMI 3 port switch
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TM026B/A
I've plugged it all in and my PS3 works through it, I plugged my PowerBook into it (using DVI-HDMI cable) and they work great and yet plugging my ATV into doesn't work. I've tried unplugging the ATV and Switch and then turning them back on again but still no luck.
I don't suppose anyone has any advice?

It seems that Apple TV doesn't support many HDMI switches!
Just in case anyone else comes across this problem then it would seem that the only switch to buy is the OPPO HM-31.
See this thread for further info:

Can I use Factory re-set to fix that ? My Screen doesn't work when I put on mini display to HDMI My TV then set Mirror Main Screen.

Last week I bought a miniDisplay to HDMI port. My macbookpro to SonyPlaystation 3D TV , it's work petty well on default setting. But when I set to Mirror setting, macbookpro screen turn to blue(more like computer is setting) then turn to normal and 1 second later turn to blue......that's a loop...never stop. only when I took out the miniDisplay to HDMI port, that stop...The TV doesn't have signal.
I tried to delete apple.display.config files, but I can't find all of them( I already followed Apple support page article), so this way still doesn't work for me.

Disconnect the external monitor and any other third-party peripherals. Be sure to backup your files.

My HDMI port doesn't work

Hello I upgraded my windows to 8.1-64 bit and after that I found out my HDMI port and Bluetooth doesn't work , from this page I download Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver which finish installing with a error that says---------------------------
This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.---------------------------
also I downloaded Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth 4.0+HS Driver for Microsoft Windows but nothing happend , in the other hand I am prety sure that my product bluetooth is Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth® technology (it was previous windows driver) that I downloaded it from this link and it didn't work.I'd appreciate it if someon help me.procuct model: pavilion dv6-6c55se

Hi: I don't think you are going to have any luck running W8.1 on that machine. The Intel graphics driver won't work because you have the custom AMD/Intel switchable graphics and only the AMD driver should be used for that setup as it also contains the special Intel graphics drivers needed. You can try this W8 driver for the graphics, and if it doesn't work on W8.1, then game over. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp59850.exe The Intel bluetooth...you posted a W8 driver. I would try the W8.1 driver... https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/23449/Intel-PROSet-Wireless-Software-for-Bluetooth-technology-for-Windows-8-1- If you are unsure as to what bluetooth driver you need, you always install the corresponding model bluetooth driver for the model wireless card your notebook has. So, if you have an Intel wireless card, then you install the Intel bluetooth driver. If you have an atheros wireless card, then you install the atheros bluetooth driver, and so forth.

Apple TV doesn't work with HDMI Switch

Apple TV doesn't seem to work with my HDMI Switch. Tried every combination of cables. Tried switching all devices on and off at different times. Googled to see if anyone else has tried a switcher with Apple TV. All I know is: PlayStation 3 works just fine running through the switcher. Apple TV doesn't work at all with the switcher, only when plugged directly into the TV.
I only have one HDMI port on my Samsung HDTV and two HDMI devices (PlayStation 3, Apple TV). All my component slots are full and I already have a component switcher that's full, too. So HDMI is the only option for me.
Any ideas? Switcher claims to support HDCP... and it does do HD resolutions (PS3 displaying in 720p).

I use this 5x1 switch from Monoprice and it works fine, switching 3 devices, which are then routed through my AV receiver's switch... Despite the convoluted hookup, I have not had HDCP handshake issues.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&pid=2777&seq=1&format=2&style=
The nice thing about this switch is:
1. It works: no discernable loss in quality, switches relatively quickly, etc.
2. It's cheaper than many others, like Gefen, or even the Xtrememac (which is 4x1)
3. The remote has discrete buttons for each input, which is very helpful when setting up a universal remote like my Harmony 880. I can't tell from the Xtrememac picture if it's a direct input, or if you can only cycle through the inputs...
Good luck!
