Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    You are posting in the "icloud on my mac" forum, but your profile mentions Windows.  If using a mac, you need to have iphoto or aperture installed in order to receive new photos via photo stream.  If using windows, try posting in the iCloud on a PC forum.  You'll get better help there.

  • I cannot get my itunes library to sync on to my ipod.  Every time I click sync, it does not.

    I cannot get my itunes library to sync on to my ipod.  Every time I click sync, it does not.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Nobody knows why because you have not provided sufficient information. Web site? Browser? How do you see your pay stubs online? Company web site? Unsecure?

  • Ipod 2g settings does not have software update option

    I have checked the tutorial to upgrade my ipod 2g from 4.2 to 4.3, but when I go to settings/general, "software update" does not appear as an option.  I am connected to a wi fi area and ported to a computer, still no option...

    Your software version is not up to date, and therefore does not have that in "settings" yet.  You must connect it to your computer and update via iTunes. 
    Your iPod needs iOS 5 or higher, in order to have the software update option in "settings"

  • I'm trying to download itunes onto an external harddrive, but it keeps defaulting to my computers drive which does not have the room. How do I sort this please?

    I'm trying to download itunes onto an external harddrive (named as D) which has loads of space, but it keeps defaulting to my computers (C) drive which does not have the required space. How do I sort this please?
    I've tried selecting the D drive but, it still defaults to my computers drive and wont let me change it.
    Heeeeellllllllpppppp!

    I think you've misunderstood.
    iTunes ONLY works on the C drive.  There is no moving it.  End of discussion.
    The MEDIA can be house on any other drive (internal or external).
    Install iTunes correctly using the default options.
    Once it is installed and working correctly with everything on the C drive, close iTunes.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 to move the iTunes media folder.

    I purchased Mountain Lion and want to re-download it to make a flash drive, but it does not appear in my purchase history.

    Hi Satya,
    Still I am getting  the same error. I am using IE 7.0 browser. In my service I have the following parameters in SE80 as well as in the SAP GUI Config in SICF.
    ~ITSMOBILE 1
    ~THEME 99
    ~TRANSACTION LM00
    I have published the complete service and it published successfully to INTERNAL site.
    My custom service is active in SICF.
    When I test the service, IE can not display the page.
    Do we need to activate any other standard service?
    Or Do we need to set some additional parameters to the service?
    Do I need to make any special settings in the IE 7.0?
    Your input will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Subbu

  • Dreamweaver CC 2014 Sync Settings does not appear to work for me...

    I synced all of the settings from one computer to the cloud with all options checked.
    Then when I import those settings on another computer that I installed dreamweaver on, it appears as though nothing is coming down. Sites info does not come down, my application preferences (code coloring specifically) don't come down.
    I am at a total loss...

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.
