Connecting to HDMI & SVIDEO - such a adapter?

I have an SVideo projector and a HD LCD in my lounge. Currently I have an adapter for my mac mini which allows me to connect to teh projector via Svideo and to my LCD via VIdeo but really, I would rather connect to my LCD via HDMI. is there such a connector / adapter?
Reason I want it to connect to both is so that I don't have to keep connecting & Disconnecting all the time.
any ideas?

You can buy a DVI to HDMI cable.

Designer6i - can't connect database TNS:no such protocol adapter

Cannot connect to database with Repository Administration Utility.
I have installed Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 2 on my WindowsNT in one oracle_home (ora8i) and Designer 6i in the same machine in another oracle_home (orades which is DEFAULT_HOME).
Installation is successful. I have set up the tnsnames.ora file in the directory d:\orades\net80\admin. I have also set the registry variables \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\TNS_ADMIN
and
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\Home1\TNS_ADMIN
to d:\orades\net80\admin as per Installation Guide.
From ora8i->DatabaseAdministration->DBA Studio I can connect to the database using the service string in the above tnsnames.ora file.
But it fails from OracleRepository6i-> RepositoryAdministrationUtility with an error of ORA-12222: TNS:no such protocol.
The TCP network protocol is installed for Designer6i as the folder "tnsapi" exists in orades\net80.
Can anyone please point out what is wrong and help? thanks

Hi PAUL,
I think you first install designer and then Oracle.

AppleTV 2g connected to HDMI to VGA adapter

I connected my AppleTV to my TV via a HDMI to VGA adapter. On power gives no signal and display a message "Out of Range", to connect another device with the same adapter works properly.

OK, thanks. Just one question.
I could get the Kanex ATV pro in Mexico, because the adapter I have now cost me much to get it, and almost not many options.

How do i connect my macbook pro to my tv with my HDMI cord with the adapter to a 32" panasonic vieja tv, how do i connect my macbook pro to my tv with my HDMI cord with the adapter to a 32" panasonic vieja tv?

MacMini (2011) problem with Thunderbolt display if 2nd monitor is connected via HDMI/DVI adapter

Hi,
iam running a MacMini (2011) 2.3GHz i5 with Mac OS X 10.7.4 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 256 GB Samsung SSD.
If i connect a Thunderbolt display only - all is fine.
But if i connect a 2nd monitor ( Samsung S23A700) via HDMI / DVI adapter (original Apple) the major screen (Thunderbolt Display) sometimes
is going black and immidiately back to normal. It looks like that it happens very often if i scroll down with the Apple Magic Mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

I have exactly the same problem. MacMini Server i7 (mid 2011) Macmini5.3.16Gb ram.
Mini and Thunderbolt no blink-outs.
Mini and Thunderbolt and Dell 23" connected to HDMI-DVI connector, the Thunderbolt display blinks out when system is under stress as in the Develop module of Lightroom 4.
I thought it was a problem with my Thunderbolt display, and since its on a VESA mount, I didn't really want to haul in in to the Apple Store. I decided to be sure it was the dosplay...
I borrowed a MacbookPro i7 and ran it from a clone of my Mini. No problems aster hours of use. (But with only ONE monitor.) That suggested that there was no problem with the Thunderbolt Display.
I decided to run the Mini with only one display. Again no problems. I plugged in the Second monitor to the HDMI port and within 2 minutes I had my first "Blink-Out".
I ran the rest of the day without the second monitor with no problems.
I conclude the mini will not work reliably with two monitors if one is a Thunderbolt.
I was using two Dell Monitors before I got the Thunderbolt Diskplay (for 3 months) without incident.

HP Slate 500 and HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA)

The specifications page for the HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA) (Link) doesn't list the HP Slate 500 as a compatible device in the campatible products list (Link).
Do these two products work together?
What VGA resolutions can I project using this cominbation of products? Am I limited to 1024x600? or 1024x768? or does it support displaying higher resolutions?
I'm thinking about making a purchase but I don't want to get the adapater if it isn't going to work.
Thanks,

Yes an HDMI to VGA adapter will work fine. Keep in mind it will not carry audio but neither did your old vga connection so I am assuming it is not a problem.
You would find an HDMI to VGA at any Best Buy or you can order on one amazon.com such as here:
http://www.amazon.com/BestDealUSA-Adapter-Converter-Laptop-NoteBook/dp/B007PLL4CK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8...
Connect the projector and use the Windows key at the lower left of the keyboard and the p key at the same time and it brings up a "projector" console that lets you easily switch from laptop to projector to laptop + projector.

Can not select TV speakers when connected via HDMI

I have a MBP fully updated connected to a Sony TV vis HDMI/miniport. Up until today this configuration was working fine. Suddenly, I can no longer select the HDMI speakers in my audio preferences. They are recognized and appear on the list but when I select them it has no effect. Before today, when the TV was connected the HDMI output would be automatically selected and I could not access the volume control from the menu bar, which is the way I prefer it.
I have restarted with no success in changing this behaviour. If I open/close the lid, the sound goes to the proper settings for about 2s but then the HDMI speakers are de-selected and the built-in speakers are highlighted. I can manually select the TV speakers but the setting has no effect.
However, I *am* getting audio output through the TV but can not control volume from the mac or any app. I slide the volume slider on the menu bar and the audio output does not change. The sound is also playing from the laptop speakers which is highly annoying.

and now there is no audio through the TV at all. TV works fine with other inputs such as PS3. Any help?

How to connect an HDMI monitor as 2nd display?

I want to connect an HDMI monitor to my MacBook Pro to use as my second monitor. I need to know what type of cable to use? I use iPhoto and iMovie extensively and it would really help to have a second monitor. Which port on the MacBook would I use?

If your MBpro has a MiniDisplay port or Thunderbolt port then you buy a MiniDisplay port to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. (The adapter will plug into the Thunderbolt port).

If you have the new retina model, it has a HDMI port built in.

My connection via hdmi to my TV is no longer working. Even if I use a thunderbolt to hdmi converter

Hi, the day before yesterday I turned on my tv which was connected via HDMI out on the mac mini to HDMI in on my TV. Everything was working fine, however I have been trying to set up dual monitoring on another monitor using an HDMI to VGA adapter to my second monitor but nothing was working. I was about to watch a film from the mac to the TV wen I thought it might be the resolution on the hdmi out why it wasn't working on the monitor but was on the TV so I changed the settings and the hdmi to the TV cut out. My main monitor is connected by thunderbolt to VGA adapter and works fine. I can change all the settings for screen resolution on the main monitor and have tried every setting on it then unplugging and plugging in the hdmi cable from the mac to the TV. I get the blue flash on the screen so I know it is being detected but here is where it gets weird.
I figured I would try the thunderbolt to HDMI converter I originally bought for my iMac and again the blue screen flashes up but there is no blue flash or any sort of detection on the TV.
The whole time there is nothing showing up on the screen, even when I unplug my main display from thunderbolt to VGA (the main monitor) and connect the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and plug in the hdmi to the TV.
I know it's not the hdmi cable as I have tested it on my youview box to my tv and it worked fine.
I also know its not the tv as iv connected my friends windows laptop to the TV using the same cable so it must be the settings on the mac.
I have tried doing a time machine restore to the day I bought it and have had no problems so far until I changed the settings. Why oh why did I mess about with it!!
If anyone can help please let me know ASAP.
It doesn't show up the HDMI output in audio anymore either, however like I say it flashes blue wen I connect the hdmi but seems to have no idea that the HDMI is connected in the display settings! It's so frustrating. I'm going to call the mac support today but if anyone on here hash as any similar problems n fixed them please let me know.
Btw I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.4. I know I can connect via a long VGA cable but that's not really the point. I, at least would like to get my mirrored desktop on my tv back from HDMI!

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

*URGENT* Forms 6i on XP - "no such protocol adapter" problem

Hello,
I seem to have run into a common problem but mine has a twist.
I have a laptop with Windows XP that I have installed Oracle 8.1.7.3.0 on. That works fine.
I have a project that has me connected to Oracle O.com network. I can connect fine to that using my initial Oracle installation.
I needed to install Oracle 6i and ran into a few problems, but found recommended work arounds which included me installing it in a seperate directory as Windows 95 or windows 98. I installed it in C:/oracle/developer. I can open existing forms to work on them.
What I can't do is connect to my O.com connection using the Developer or the Sqlplus 8.0 version that is included with it.
Per this website http://metalink.oracle.com/oracleinstall/oracle8i/windows.html#MSfive
I have run through the net80 configuration process.
I have copied my working tnsnames.ora file to all possible locations that the developer version would pick up (including of course c:\oracle\developer\net80\admin).
I have changed the required sqlnet.ora file to sqlnet.old.
I rebooted.
The listener and database start on their own, so I don't have to start them from the dos prompt.
Any attempt to connect to the O.com or my local database using the Developer sqlplus or Developer itself results in the message - "ERROR: ORA-12222: TNS:no such protocol adapter".
If I try to connect to some made up database name, I get a "could not resolve service name" message. So I can tell that it least recognizes my database names defined in the tnsname.ora file.
If anyone has installed Forms 6i on XP and ran into similar problems and fixed them, or if anyone has any clue as to what I need to do to fix this, I'll be immensely grateful.
Thanks.
Kurt

It occurs to me that perhaps I need to install a second version of the listener, specifically for my forms environment. Is this the case?
Thanks again.
Kurt

Connecting a HDMI cable to my D20

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has had problems connecting HDMI cables to their D20 via an ATI FirePro 5700 cards.
I seem to not be able to get the cable to fit allthey way, and they keep popping out. It appears that the rails on either side of the video card back (i.e. where you connect DVI/HDMI cables to the back) seem to keep the cables fom going in all the way. I've been looking on the Inernet for HDMI connectors that might have longer connectors or thinner plugs, but have not been successful. I was thinking about using my Dremel to cut/sand the rails to create more room for the entire plug, or to sant some of teh casing of the plug to make it thinner, but both seem to be bad ideas, especially with regard to voiding warrenties.
Does anyone have any ideas.
Kind Regards,
AP
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Is your ATI FirePro 5700 from Lenovo, namely the option number 51J0510? If this is the case it has two Display Ports and one DVI, it doesn't have HDMI. Using the Lenovo Display Port to DVI adapter cable would be one option for you, another would be a Display Port to HDMI adapter.

SPDIF output is disabled when connecting a HDMI device

Hello, hope someone can help.
I've got a Toshiba SAT U500 with Realtek audio driver. I want to send the video to the TV (via HDMI) and still send audio via SPDIF to the digital receiver. By some reason it is automatically enabling HDMI audio when I connect the TV, and on the SPDIF output (icon on Windows 7 -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound) a telephone sign appears.
What does that telephone sign mean? How to make the system not to disable SPDIF output when connecting a HDMI device?
Thanx in advance!!!

Howdy Gdad_Edw,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below, it provides information and troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the no video issue with your Apple Digital AV Adapter and your iPad.
About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
Ciao,

How do you connect 3 HDMI monitors to the new Mac Pro running Maverics. HDMI to thunderbolt adaptors only support 2 displays. The fine print in Apple docs HT 5918 indicate the Mac Pro will only support 2 HDMIs. Anyone found a workaround?

I am trying to connect 3 HDMI displays to a Mac Pro. I am using a HDMI to thunderbolt adaptor and can only get 2 of the 3 displays to work.
Does anyone know of a work around.
Is there a systems configuration varaible for type of display?

USB video adapters can severely limit graphics performance. Use ACTIVE HDMI adapters instead.

TNS-12538: TNS:no such protocol adapter, and install MS loopback adapter

Hello,
I am trying to install oracleAS Infrastructure and portal on my windows xp pc. (Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
At some point of the installation for Internet Directory Configuration Assistant, there is an error:
===========================================================
Output generated from configuration assistant "Internet Directory Configuration Assistant" (attempt 2):

===========================================================
After did some searching, I find I may need to install MS loopback adapter.
So I followed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839013 to install the MS Loopback adapter.
After I installed, When I open the Network Connetcions, I found there are two local area connetcions. One of then called local area connection 2, and it's MS loopback adapter. I got a warning for local area connection 2, it says that my pc does not have a IP address assigned, and its status is : limited or no connectivity .
I tried to repair to establish the full connection by clicking on the repair button, but the process is failed.
I also tried to run command: tnsping orcl ( orcl is my database service name ), after installed the loopback adapter.
tnsping orcl, still got this error:

Q1. I am wondering which local area connection is currently used by default ? If it's the old one, how to configure it to use the new added one? ( local area connetcion 2 ).
Q2. Do I have to install MS Loopback adapter for installing Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)?
I don't have a fixed IP, however my IP is seldom changed. And I'm ok with 127.0.0.1
Any suggestion ?
