Is there any risk to video cards when connecting TVs to iMacs via HDMI cables?

Just want to know the risks before I do any damage.

So I assume that if we buy our adapter from an Apple store, then it is the proper one?  I have a Moshi adapter.

  • When connected to lg monitor with hdmi cable i get no sound

    when connected to lg monitor with hdmi cable i get no sound

    The issue here is that HDMI cables, as the name indicates, carry audio signals to the monitor. Therefore if the monitor has no built in speakers then there will be no sound. If you have external speakers you can plug them into the audio out slot on the back of the monitor and the problem will be solved. 
    However, if the screen does have built in speakers you need to go Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Manage Audio Devices and set either your headphone jack or the screen to be the default device. And then you ca pick which device the sound will play from. Either yourlaptop speakers or whateer speakers are plugged into the laptop or the Monitor and whatever speakers are plugged into the monitor

  • How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?

        How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?  Currently it only syncs when I manually click on sync.
        Somehow I do have my 5th gen. iPod set up to sync automatically with the same iTunes / computer.  But I do not actually see a checkbox for either device.
        (yes, the 'prevent devices from automatically syncing' is unchecked)
    thank you!

    Turn off mobile data?
    Talk to your carrier about the usage increase.
    Googling provides many tips- https://www.google.com/search?q=reduce+iPhone+data+usage&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

  • Can I use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when connected to an AirPort via LAN cable?

    Well as stated above I'm wondering if I can use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when my PC is connected via LAN cable to an AirPort.
    I'm asking because usually your PC has to be on the same Wifi as your other Apple device, so AirPlay can function, and id love the ability to Stream via AirPlay but still be connected to the internet via LAN cable.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    AirPlay is not restricted to wireless only. It can also work over Ethernet. Basically as long as there is a connection (on the same subnet) between the iTunes host and the AirPlay "speaker" streaming should take place without any issues.
    FWIW, My Win8 PC is connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet. In turn my Apple TV is connected to the TC's wireless network. I have no trouble streaming from the PC to the Apple TV in this configuration.

  • Blue Flashing Screen When Connecting to Sony Receiver with HDMI Cable

    I'm trying to avoid buying an AppleTV by simply using my MBP and the Rowmote Pro app for my iPad. I have a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI cable which works great connected to my 55" Sony HDTV but I would prefer to use my home theatre speakers (vice the HDTVs) by plugging the cable into my Sony Receiver and allowing that to route the video to my TV. The problem is that when I plug the cable into the receiver's #3 HDMI port and then switch the receiver's input to HDMI 3 the MBPs display repeatedly flashes blue as if trying to detect a display. I've tried resetting the PRAM with no success. I would like to avoid the TosLink option, keeping it simple with just the one cable.

    You can get a video output from a Mac in the absence of a display. That's called running "headless" or sometimes "server mode." But the Mac will only offer about four choices of headless resolutions, and if there is a way to extend that number, I don't know how to do it.
    An item like a receiver may or may not have its own EDID (display driver). Generally speaking the ideal would be that it would just do a pass-through of the EDID of whatever display it (the receiver) is connected to. But for sure inconsistencies arise as inputs get switched around on the receiver or TV, and also as the Mac goes into and comes out of sleep mode. These are all factors that can cause the Mac to end up a lost puppy.
    The Detective prevents this from happening by providing a continuous EDID connection from the Mac's perspective. So even though input switching is taking place at the receiver (or TV), the Mac never sees it, and in that case it provides a consistent output.

  • Display problem when connecting laptop to TV via HDMI

    I have a Satellite L500-19X and when I connect the laptop to my Sony Bravia TV, the display is constantly choppy.
    I've tried changing the refresh rate but that hasn't helped. The HDMI cable shouldn't be the problem because it works fine with my Xbox. The problem is there during both duplicate display and extend display options.
    Anyone else experiencing the same problem and have found a fix?
    Thanks

    And when you see desktop on TV only?

  • Very hard to use LR5 when connected to External TV via HDMI

    Hi
    I was teaching some post processing today using LR5 connected to a 50" Sony TV via HDMI cable and could barely use LR. It took a few attempts to use the brush or gradient tools.
    Did anyone experience this?
    Thanks

  • What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

    What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

    Hello Alex,
    It sounds like you are getting excessive CPU usage when connecting an external display via HDMI to your computer. I would try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

    Nope. You can always reverse that if you choose.

  • Is there any risk in buying a refurbished iPod?

    Buying a refurb and saving about £60 seems too good to be true. Has anyone bought a refurbished iPod and is there any risk?
    Thanks for your help.

    Im sure there is a risk but its small in my opinion. refurb means it is restored to factory specs. I bought one a year back and have had no trouble. I would make sure the company you buy from is a respectable one.

  • Are there any risk if i provide my new ipad serial number to someone else?

    Hi, i have a new ipad2 with full one year warranty because i haven't turn it on and connect it to ituns yet. i want to sell it from ebay and someone ask me to have the serial number. are there any risk if i provide him the serial number? ie. he can use the serial number to register with his account and start the warranty.

    The warranty starts from the day you purchased it, not the day you first use it.
    With the serial number the buyer will be able to verify the warranty status at the page below:

    In theory, he could register the device, but what would be the point?
