Black Screen when connection apple TV 2. Gen to my TV via HDMI an over a Doulby Suround System (Sound is OK)

Dear Apple Comunity,
at first i want to wish all the best to the family and close friends of Mr. Jobs. It is a sad loss for all of us.
To come back to my topic:
I connected my apple TV set by HDMI to my Yamaha Doulby Surround System. When i try to use it then one in a while the screen stays black but i can hear the sounds of using my apple TV. I guess that indicates that the signales went from the apple TV to the Yamaha System but somehow the visual informations don´t reach my TV (and yes, i pluged the HDMI-Cable from the Yamaha to the TV-Set).
It just happens once in a while and i don´t know what to do about it. It´s pretty inconviniend that way.
The only way to get it back in track is to remove the Powerplug (HDMI doesn´t work).
Any suggestions.
Regards
René Engel
PS. Pls excuse my bad english.

I suspect it's your receiver, connect the HDMI directly between the Apple TV and the TV and use an optical cable to your receiver from the Apple TV for audio.

Dell U2711 black screen when connected to Mac via DisplayPort

I currently have a Dell U2711 27" monitor connected to my Mac Mini through DVI (it uses a DVI to mini-DVI adapter at the PC end). However, I cannot get the full resolution of the monitor 1920 x 1080 maximum is offered were the monitors maximum resolution is 2560 x 1440.
I did some Googling and seemed it required DisplayPort connection to achieve this. No dramas. I ordered a Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable.
I plugged this in and all I get on the Dell is a black screen. The monitor doesn't go into power save mode or anything like that, just displays nothing - an illuminated black screen.
I pulled out my MacBook and connected the cable to that, same deal. The Mac recognises that the cable has been connected (as the laptops LCD goes blue for a second or two while it detects the new monitor).
Any ideas?
I also had a DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable here which was included with the monitor from Dell, which I will test aswell when my miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter arrived.

Yes, that is one means, but...
However, HDMI 1.3 can also carry resolutions higher than 1920 x 1080 - check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI - not really an option on the Dell monitor though, as it only supports up to 1080p on the HDMI connection. However, there is a thread elsewhere on the internet of a user who forced his Windows laptop to use 2560 x 1440 resolution via the HDMI output and the Dell monitor accepted it!
In addition, so can DisplayPort - as per my original post.
The Apple Dual-Link DVI adapter is plagued with issues and has a lot of faults, so I'd rather avoid it. It is also significantly higher priced than the above option of DP.

[SOLVED] black screen when connecting rdesktop to localhost

I am trying to set up my machine so I can remote into it via RDP.
When I run the command
rdesktop localhost
from my terminal rdesktop pops up. I choose sesman-Xvnc and type in my password and a plain black screen is all I get. Sometimes I'll get a message that says "Oh no Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. All extensions have been disabled as a precaution." It also gives me a log out button.
I have installed xrdp from the AUR via yaourt. I am using xrdp version 0.6.1-1, tigervnc 1.4.0-1, and rdesktop 1.8.3-1.
In trying to isloate the problem I tested tigervnc by running
vncserver
with the following xstartup configuration file in my /home/.vnc directory.
#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
OS=`uname -s`
if [ $OS = 'Linux' ]; then
case "$WINDOWMANAGER" in

if [ -e /etc/SuSE-release ]; then

I've tried restarting vncserver.service with systemctl and I get the same error.
Per the vncserver wiki I created a vncserver@:1.service file in /etc/systemd/system and enabled it. It starts and runs without a problem.
I have tried using the nouveau video drivers instead of the nvidia driver that I'm currently using and that produced a similar result but with a white square at the upper left hand corner of the rdesktop window.
I'm new to arch-linux and linux in general. I've been using it for about a month now and I've been able to solve all of my problems through using this forum, reading wikis and the man pages of command line programs. This one has me completely stumped.
I have no reason to believe the problem is related to xrdp or to rdesktop because the only errors or decent information I have been able to find about what could be going wrong has been the vncserver.service error shown above.

Ok. I finally got this working. What I did was I created a file at /etc/systemd/system called vncserver@:4.service and set the user in the file to my username. Then I went into xrdp.ini which is located at /etc/xrdp and under [xrdp1], (which is for sesman-Xvnc ) I set the port value to 5904 which is the port that my vncserver@:4 service uses when its running.
Since xrdp uses tigervnc as its back end it was just a matter of pointing it to a running vncserver.
Don't I feel silly
Thanks Knute for your help. Your idea led me to the right answer.

Blank/Black screen when connecting to server

When I try to use ARD to connect to my XServe all I get is a black screen. For some reason though using VNC from a PC works fine. Any thoughts?

Just to follow this up, found that having jumb frames enabled was causing this. Change the frame size back to 1500 and it works fine.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

When i try to turn ipod touch on it stays on the black screen with the apple and nothing else happens. whats wrong?

okay so just as i was typing this the problem resolved itself, but when i went to charge my ipod i noticed ot stayed on the black screen with the apple for a good 10 minutes, so i pressed buttons furiously (!!) and the screen went white and then back on to the screen with apple again. this contiinued for a good 4 tries then eventually went on to my lock screen (which is the very beautiful dom howard not that you know who that is and i dont even know any of you so i dont know why im typing all of this out but i really enjoy typing it's an incredibly exciting past time of mine but unfortunately i havent used capital letters) just wondering if it will happen again

Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore. Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines. None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Maybe this will let the iPad reboot and then you may need to restore again but see if this helps to start the iPad first.
