Connecting HDMI and TV

Keeping a connection with HDMI thunderbolt and HD TV what settings in Preferences are needed?

I have a 2014 feb mbp retina 13" and have not been able to close the clam while conneted to a tv or external monitor both of which have their own power supply. Caffiene works for me and I close the clam with mains power attached and there are no problems with any heat from the laptop, while playing movies and games, it barely gets warm.
I have tried all variations of display and power settings and this is the only way I have found to prevent the second display turning off. When I disconnect the second display I turn Caffiene off as it sits conveniently in the menu dock so the sleep function returns should I wish to transport it elsewhere.
Should there be a better option in settings to achieve the same then I would be grateful if you could enlighten us all.

Cannot connect HDMI and microUSB at the same time

Hi, there is not enough space on ATV2 both ports are on top of each other is there any way around this so you can use HDMI and also microusb?

As listed in the Tech Specs
Micro-USB (for service and support)
What are you trying to use if for?
The intended purpose is when there is a problem with the Apple TV (from the manual p.29):
•          If          Apple          T V          still          doesn’ t          respond:
•          Disconnect the power and HDMI cables from Apple TV.
•          Connect one end of a micro USB cable (sold separately) to the back of
Apple TV, and the other end to your computer.
•          Open iTunes on your computer, select Apple TV in the Source list, and then
click Restore.

Can I connect hdmi and display port at the same time?

The toslink on my 2010 mini is glitchy. So I want to run the audio through the hdmi to my recevier. And the video through the minidisplay port to hdmi to a monitor. Will this work? Can I use the hdmi for audio only and the display port for video only? Thanks

Yes, that is exactly how to use dual monitors.
Optionally:
if the second monitor has DVI input, use the MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter.
or if it has Display Port input, then all you need is a straight MiniDisplay Port to Display Port cable.

How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?

How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)? I assume I would need to use the DVI to Video adapter that came with my computer to connect to my LCD tv. I'm just not sure which port I should use on the TV. The HDMI port is being used for digital cable.
Also, does anyone know if this can be done wirelessly?

For a 2010+ MBP you can connect with a Displayport to HDMI, which will include Audio.
With older MBP you will need a displayport to HDMI, if you want audio to the actually TV, then you will need to get a cable with either digital out from MBP to the HDMI, or USB audio mixed into the HDMI

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

I have a new MAC MINI and I want to install a second monitor. I have one connected to the HDMI and it works. I can't get a signal to the other one. It is connected from the thunderbolt to its HDMI port. How can I make it work?

Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.

Can I connect via HDMI and get 1920x1080?

Can I connect my MacBook Pro HDMI adapter up to my new Samsung Display via the HDMI connection and get 1920x1080? Or is the 1080p the best display I can do with that connection? Should I get the VGA adapter instead?

Not so fast please...
for HDMI rev 3.1 and above the AOK
However my SHARP 42" flat screen (model LC-42D72U) requires DVI MBP (adapter ) to DVI port on the SHARP.
I also have HDMI( and S video, component video and composite video) Also digital audio output from SHARP flat screen but for max UXGA resolution at horizontal frequency of 75.0 kHz DVI the way SHARP requires.
Fortunately Apple gave me DVI adapter free ( seldom heard nice four letter word )

HDMI and PC inputs do not work on my 37AV502R LCD TV

HDMI inputs and PC inputs do not work consistently
my Apple TV (HDMI) and computers 2 on HDMI, 1 on PC, display just fine n the TV but after a while the TV goes blank,
the time is not consistent sometime a few minutes, sometimes a few hours,
but every time, after the TV goes blank there is nothing I can do, the TV just stays blank, if I unplug and turn back on the TV displays the image for a split second and goes bank again,
I thought it might be an overheating thing, however sometimes the PC input will stop working but the HDMI input (either one) will work fine,
has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks

I'm having the same issue. As soon as I connect it to VGA or HDMI, it goes into a cycle of flashing on-and-off. A guy on youtube had the same problem (posted a video identical to my problem) and reportedly fixed it with a firmware update.
The problem: the US website doesn't have a firmware download. The canadian website does, but the update is from 4/2009, and the manufactured date on the back of my TV is 5/2009. (I also tried the update, but it didn't fix the problem).
When I call Toshiba to ask about the firmware update, after they confirm I am out of warranty, their automated system keeps hanging up on me. So frustrating.

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

How do I set MacBook to an external display when the plug and play doesn't recognize it? I am trying to set my Samsung 530 LCD as a monitor but HDMI and VGA cords (and the adaptor for them) doesn't seem to work.

I have tried everything I can find on line but they all claim that the plug and play works, and they don't for me. I tried the mini dvi to HDMI and a HDMI cord and that was not recognized no matter which unit I rebooted first. I found someone who said that my Macbook might be too old for the HDMI technology so I returned the cords and went to the VGA cord and adaptor.
I tried this first with the HDMI setup:

Then I tried this with the VGA setup:

I contacted Samsung support and they said I needed to set the display settings to external display on the mac. I went to the display settings and moved the icon to my status bar. When I click on search for displays or whatever it says (I'm not at my Mac right now) it does nothing.
What am I missing?

I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system. The TV says "No signal. Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection." Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display. But how do I do that?

Regarding the HDMI and Optical, yes they are both active, I have HDMI to TV and OA to soundbar, both work simultaneously and stand alone too.

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously.
I seem to be able to select one or the other, but not both ? !
Thanks

No. You can only use one sound output:
Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.

How to connect hdmi cable on hp g60 to sony bravia lcd?

how to connect hdmi cable on hp g60 to sony bravia lcd?

Hello sohagshahin,
It appears that your HDMI port is not working on the notebook. I will try to assist with this.
Have you verified that the port indeed does not work by trying other tv's or monitors? (try one of each if possible).
Have you tried other HDMI cables?
This document may also help you: Resolving HDMI Display and Sound Issues (Windows 7 and Vista).
Let me know how things go.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Kids' playroom. Connecting WII and Xbox... need advice on receiver

We just built the playroom and I wired for 5.1 and even ran the HDMI cable behind the wall to connect a receiver to the TV. This is for the kids room, may upgrade sometime, but they are 8 and 10, so sound purity and quality is not a big issue. Simplicity, simple operation and ability to have a single HDMI connection from receiver to TV is most important. Have simple Insignia speakers with powered subwoofer, now want to pick least expensive receiver for this room. Would also consider returning speakers if there is a home theater system that accepts both HDMI and analog input and does the job. Thanks!

Yes, I had considered running an etherent cable to the bedroom, but my wife doesn't like the idea of seeing the cable snaking through hallways.
In the bedroom, I have connected the imac, mac mini and the AEBS with etherent cable. It's just my connection to the internet that does not have the benefit of ethernet, although the speed I get from my cable internet is much slower than the wifi connection.
I would eventually like to move the cable modem upstairs and use the AEBS as the primary base station and the AX downstairs to extend my wireless network. However, there is an issue in that the cable modem has to be the only device on the cable connection and I am currently using the cable connection to carry my DISH Network signal and basic cable signal to the bedroom.
I guess my question really boils down to this...Would an AE in place of the AX give a stronger signal to the 2nd AE in the bedroom. I will turn off the AE tonight and see what kind of a signal I get from the AX downstairs. I haven't tried it, but I suppose I could also move the Airport Extreme (5th Gen) downstairs and hook it directly to the cable modem and not even use the AX because the signal from the new AE should be as good or better than last year's AX - but then I would lose the gigabit ethernet between those devices - which is why I haven't done that yet.
I could also drop the $$$ on a Time Capsule for the bedroom and use it for all my backups (but that's kinda what I'm hoping to do with the mac mini) and move the AE downstairs to the cable modem.
Decisions, decisions.
