Connecting iPad 2 to ATV 2 vi HDMI Cable -- PINK flicker/flash

When I connect as described above, sometimes my TV flashes a PINK screen, flickers, and the audio makes a painful temporary SPUTTERIN SOUND. In other words, the TV doesn't like this setup momentarily.
Question -- will this prematurely wear out my tube.
ATV2 users -- very cool article about being green by using ATV2 vs. cable DVR --

The price blows, but what it gives you for the money is a cheap way to turn your HDTV into a gaming machine, a way to surf the web on your TV, and do MOST things your iPad can do ON your TV. The catches --
1. -- you'll need to further invest in a LONG HDMI cable. (I found a 25 footer for $8 on Amazon)
2. -- Hulu Plus and Hulu's website NOTE the mirroring and prevent it, as well as some other sites.
Rumor has it iOS 5 will do this mirroring cable free. However, you won't be able to play games because of likely delays.
I'm keeping my cables because I want to be able to take my iPad on vacation with me hook everything up to the hotel room TV. (Hope with me it has HDMI.)
Oh, and the ABC App for iPad will allow you to mirror show in this manner. It doesn't look to bad, but around 15 percent of your screen will become black bars.

How to connect my Satellite C650 to TV with HDMI cable?

Connecting my laptop with my television??
I have Satelite C650 laptop which isnt that old, but ive connected my laptop to the television using a HDMI cable and it isnt working.
The television is a samsung 1080p one, i would be grateful for some advice.
Many thanks

Hello Claire
I presume you use your notebook with original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook so it should work without problems.
Connect your notebook to the TV with HDMI cable. If your TV has several HDMI ports please enable right port on TV and after doing this use FN+F5 key combination to switch from notebook to the TV.
When you use FN+F5 key combination can you see several options including HDMI option?

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic tv with hdmi cable

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

Hi m,
It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.

How to connect imac to tv using thunderbolt to hdmi cable

I'm trying to connect my mid 2011 iMac to my tv. I have a thunderbolt to hdmi cable that I purchased. I connected the thunderbolt port to the iMac and connected the hdmi port to the tv. I turned on both devices and the tv is not getting the signal. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.
Although I don't have thunderbolt, since you can plug mini-displayport into a TB socket, then like mini-displayport, they a a little sneaky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in the socket.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click detect displays. Then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz). You should see a picture at this point.
You may have to play the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.
Also, you need to set your Sound preferences to output to the HDMI connection.

Ipod touch connected to tv by av adaptor and hdmi cable will play BT sport sound only. Why no picture?

I have connected my ipod touch to my tv using a digital AV adapter and a HDMI cable to try to watch BT sport on the tv, but I am getting the sound without the picture. Any ideas?

For the 4G and earlier iPods, TV out only works for apps that support TV out. If they do not, then you only get sound.

I'm getting blinking white light and the TV shows a graphic that is the ATV box and HDMI cable. I changed the HDMI cable with the same result.. What gives?

Blinking white light HDMI graphic on TV... That's it, nothing else. What can I do?

The ATV is telling you it needs to be plugged into your computer and restored through iTunes.
Here is the Apple support page.
Hope this helps.

TV flashes when connecting iPad with HDMI

I bought the Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter to connect my iPad with the TV, with an HDMI cable. The problem is that when I connect everything, the image appears on the TV, but in two seconds it starts to blink, like making flashes. I changed the HDMI cable, but nothing goes better. HELP!!!

I have been trying all day to transfer photos from my mac to my IPad. When I open I Tunes as instructed there is no tab for photos. There are only apps and music. I can open Iphoto on a separate icon on my computer, but is this considered ITunes? When I open iphoto and click on my ipad devices name it only shows photos I took on my ipad. When I click on the iphoto library and select photos it won't allow me to drag them to my ipad device. Totally frustrated and confused. I tried the ctrl+s and ctrl+B but nothing happens.

Just bought a hdmi cable from iPad to TV

I got two ipad 2 and just bought a hdmi cable for it however the cable will only connect to one iPad and seems to big for the other ipad can any one please tell me why this is. Here is cable I got.
http://www.trustedreviews.com/best-value-tvs_round-up
What cable do I buy for the other ipad as I thought all ipad2 had Same connectors. Thanks

That link does not take me to a cable.
You must use an adapter from apple to go from the ipad 2 to HDMI, bith Ipad will have the same connector if they are the same model, You may have one with a 30 poin connector and a newer one with lightning connector.
What are the model numbers.

HT4241 i am trying to connect a hdmi cable to my mac book air i hit source list but not is showing on my tv can somone help me to fix it

i connect a mini display port to my HDMI cable but all i am seeing to the TV is the screen saver on the main screen i am unable to view videos on my tv can any one help

It's possible the TV doesn;t support the same rersolution as before.
Does the LED flicker when you press remote keys?
If so try holding menu and up arrow together for 6 seconds to cycle display resolutions.
If possible try a different HDMI cable/HDMI port.
If all fails you may need to do a restore as described here:

Connecting ipad2 to viera TV without HDMI cable

Is it possible to use viera Panasonic tv as iPad 2 second monitor without using HDMI cable.

Only by using an AppleTV attached to the TV, and using the Airplay mirroring feature. It doesn't extend the iPad, it mirrors it.

Using Apple TV device is best because you are not limited by cable connection or length.

I have sound either with my desktop speakers OR my HDTV connected with an HDMI cable

I have a Media center desktop - Model M7330n, product number ERR101AA-ABA. It has onRealtek AC97 audio on-board audio (I think) I just upgraded to a GeForce 210 graphics card in order to be able to connect to my flat screen using an HDMI cable. I am running SP3 of Windows XP , have updated to the latest BIOS, have updated the AC97 drivers. Everything is working except I can either have sound on my desktop speakers by designating the Realtek AC97 as the default audio output or I can have audio on my TV by designating the NVIDIA Hi-def audio as the default device. Is there a way of have both my speakers active and my HDMI audio. I looked through all the post and saw some no sound issues that were not quite the same but none helped my. It is not too onerous to just change the default audio output when I want to watch recorded TV but I think there must be a solution to this. HP tech support says you can only have one active. I was wondering if I could have both active by adding a new sound card. I have PCI slots available.
Thanks in advance for any help

I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever, and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
Thanks for your comments

My MacBook Pro is not able to detect Toshiba LCD TV using HDMI Cable

Hello,
I am recently having an issue of connecting my MacBook Pro with Toshiba LCD 32 Inch i tried many troubleshooting scenarios but nothing came up on my LCD,
My Mac OS 10.6.6 with the latest updates from Apple, i tried to connect my Mac to Sony Pravia LCD Screen and it's work fine but not the case in TOSHIBA !,
Please advise me if it's something related to my TV.
Waiting reply from technical,

Hello Dear,
Thanks for response,
I check the TV Manual and it's support the "Extended display identification data (EDID)" and i already connect my PS3 on the TV using HDMI Cable, but when i connect the MacBook Pro screen flashed and nothing came up on the TV and this why i am trying to understand is it Mac issue or TV one,
Please review the following i copy it from the TV Manual and advise me,
"Connecting an HDMI or a DVI device
The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio
and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI
device and uncompressed digital video from a
DVI device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP
programme material in digital from CEA-861-D
compliant consumer electronic devices (such as
a set top box and DVD player with HDMI and DVI
output).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance
with 1080i (50 Hz/60 Hz) and 1080p (24/50/60
Hz) high-definition video signals, but will also
accept and display 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, and
720p (50Hz/60 Hz (60 Hz: except for E-EDID))
and VGA (VESA 640 × 480 @ 60/72/75 Hz)
signals.
• HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface
• DVI: Digital Video Interface
• HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection
• CEA-861-D compliance covers the
transmission of uncompressed digital video
with high-bandwidth digital content protection,
which is being standardized for reception of
high-definition video signals. Because this is
an evolving technology, it is possible that some
devices may not operate properly with the TV.
• E-EDID: Enhanced-Extended Display
Identification
• Acceptable PC signal format:
S-VGA: VESA 800 5 600 @ 56/60/72/75 Hz
XGA: VESA 1024 5 768 @ 60/70/75 Hz
W-XGA: VESA 1280 5 768 @ 60/75 Hz
W-XGA: VESA 1360 5 768 @ 60 Hz
S-XGA: VESA 1280 5 1024 @ 60/75 Hz
However, these signal formats are converted to
match the number of pixels of the LCD panel.
Therefore, the TV may not display small text
properly.
If you connect this unit to your PC, the
compressed image is displayed in S-XGA mode,
therefore the picture quality may deteriorate and
characters may not be read.
