Seems like many people are experiencing problems with connecting to a tv via mdp-hdmi adapter. I have the same problem connecting my newly bought macbook air to my 4 year old samsung 32 inch. Both screens goes blue and blinks. My mac recognise my tv though, it says samsung when I go to the screenmenu to change resolution.
I have tried two different adapters, the moshi adapter which Apple recommends and another one. Im experiencing the same problem with both.
I´ve kinda concluded that it has to be a software problem since my mac has started to act strangely after I tried making it work for 20 minutes.
Apple please fix -.-

  • Mini display port hdmi cable and adapter not showing display on LG TV

    Connected my macbook air up to my LG TV 32 inch, via mini displayport - adapter to HDMI and then HDMI cable to HDMI port on the TV.
    the TV is detected on detect displays on the macbook - but the TV says no connection.
    Does anyone have any idea why this isn't working?
    I've tried both HDMI 1 and 2 ports on the TV and neither can detect a connection, although when first connecting it it did say "connecting" for about 5 seconds before cutting out.

  • The Best Mini Display Port HDMI Adapter?

    I am looking for recommendations on a good Mini Display Port HDMI Adapter for my Macbook Pro 2011 Sandy Bridge. I have gone through about 4 adapters in the past year due to the adapters become unresponsive after 2 or 3 months. I use my Macbook heavily on external monitors for my work (averaging 7 hours or more a day between various monitors).
    I can rule out the HDMI wire itself not being the cause of the problem but the adapters have been a huge miss and drain on cash this year. If anyone who is also a heavy user can point me in the direction of a durable adapter I would be very grateful.

    I always recommend monopriice.com for cables and adapters.
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    But all these adapters are in the form of "pigtails" and no matter where you get them the strain relief and the cables can fatigue and break from constant bending or pulling (doesn't help your macbook socket any either).
    Maybe you should order a bunch.  They are cheaper that way at monoprice.
    Another possibility might be you trying a mini displayport to HDMI cable.  No adapter.
    Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support (10 ft.)
    But of course you could get about 6 adapters for the price of that one cable!

  • Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

    why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

    Do you have gfxCardStatus installed?  Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete".  You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
    <About NVRAM and PRAM>
    <Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
    Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
    Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
    Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

  • HT4241 HDMI cables for Macbook 13" duo core 2006

    Hi,
    Firstly apologies if this question has been previously answered.  However I have been trawlling the internet for ages trying to find out the correct cables to set up a macbook to an HD tv.  All I want to do is connect two devices but everything I read seems to be about macbook pro 2009 onwards - what about those of us you have older macs?
    Sometime ago I was given as a present an iwires mini display to hdmi cable set.  On the box it said suitable for Macbook pre 2010.  My Macbook is a 13" duo core 2006 . Anyway the cable didn't fit and because the package had been opened couldn't get a refund.
    Please can anyone in simple terms tell me which HDMI cables I need to connect to the tv so that I get both audio and video.
    many thanks.

    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
    You'll need a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keyword s=mini+dvi+to+hdmi+adapter&sprefix=mini+dvi+to+hdmi%2Caps%2C264
    You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. Check your TV manual though to see if it might have audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.

    I am having trouble with the initial connection of the apple tv. I have isolated the problem to the cable/connection. My new hdmi cable has a resolution up to 1080p...does the resolution matter?is this the right hdmi cable for the apple tv?

    There are only two types of HDMI cables (standard and high speed - listen to all 1.2, 1.3 etc etc nonsense they will try to tell in the store) both types will work with the Apple TV.
    The cable may be faulty though, have you got another to try, what exactly is happening.

  • HT4241 How do I get an Epson EX5210 to display using the HDMI mini display port adapter so I can see 1080p downloaded movie from iTunes? It won't recognize the display via hdmi cable and adapter!

    Please help! I've tried everything to get this dang thing to display a downloaded movie from itunes on my epson EX5210 lcd projector via a HDMI cable plugged into a minidisplay port adapter. I am no expert and have no idea what to do!

    It's all in the manual... starting on page 26...
    USB seems to work as well. Tried that?
    By the way, this dang thing has "only" 768 physical pixels vertically, so "1080p" won't be visible anyway, and scaling will take place. Hope you won't be diappointed. All specs including resolutions here.

  • Audio mini display port - hdmi

    Hi, I have a Macbook6,1 (2010) and I would to know if I there is a mini display-port to hdmi cable with audio support.
    Thank you.

    It wasn't a glitch. It wasn't until 1 1/2 years after they developed the Mini DisplayPort that they figured out how to route audio through it. From Wikipedia: "On 13 April 2010, Apple added support for audio out using Mini DisplayPort in their MacBook Pro product line."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_DisplayPort
    There is an adapter that can combine video and audio to HDMI.

  • Display TV HDMI cable

    Hi all!Well i have connected my macbook pro with hdmi cable to my TV Samsung LED 26 but the screen does fit properly!Is there any solution or i have to run it i a clamshell mode to fit properly!please help me!Thanks!

    I have great success with HDMI from mini display port. Spend some time in Sys Preferences setting it up. I found that having "overscan" ticked helps for movies played thru XBMC.Have TV set up before you launch your prefered app. Once you have TV connected > in sys pref > Displays > Arrangement > untick mirror displays > you can drag the displays where you want them and also drag the menu bar. By all means play with the different settings (helps if you know your TV's scale and refresh rate.) But I find "Best for display works well. Hope this helps.

  • Mini Display port HDMI doesn't work? How to fix it it doesn't show neither video nor audio

    Hi,
    I bought two days ago a Rocketfish mini DisplayPort to HDMI but I still cannot watch anything in my tv. I've tried everything. I plugged the HDMI cable in differents ports of my tv, I plugged it in differents TV of my house but nothing happened. I dont know what the problem is : the TV's, my MacBook Pro or the adapter. I went to system preferences > Displays but the it doesn't recognize the TV and in the other hand the TV doesn't recognize any signal. Help me plase to solve this problem.
    Thank you

    I dont think is the cable because it works with my playstation 3. Does the size of the tv have any relation to the problem?
    No, the size of the TV makes no difference at all.
    I would try to exchange the adapter.

  • HDMI Cable for Toshiba GigaShot 40

    Hi,
    I bought Gigashot Camescope, and a new TV with an HDMI port.
    The HDMI port of the Camescope Toshiba GigaShot 40 is thiner than cable for my TV.
    First: is it a real HDMI port? or an i-Link/Firewire port?
    Second: how can I use this Camescope HDMI Port to connect it to my TV on my TV HDMI Port?
    Third: where can I buy Options/Accesories for my Toshiba Camescope GigaShot 40?
    I'm living in FRANCE.
    Thanks, for your attention.
    Regards

    Hello Dragon2010,
    to your questions:
    - first: yes it is a real HDMI-port but it is a Mini-HDMI-port.
    - second: So you need a "Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cable". Its not included.
    - third: you can buy options in electronic stores like "Media Markt" and so on but the best way is around the www.
    hope this helps you
    best regards

  • Tv display av/hdmi cable

    I have an ipod touch 5th gen.
    Is it possible to use the lightning hdmi adapter for ipod touch 5th gen AND...use that hdmi adapter to connect to a "hdmi to composite cable" and display it onto a tv that has composite plugs only? will it display/work?
    Anyone tried it with iphone,ipad mini etc?

    It probly wont work. Unless your going from HDMI to HDMI you might have issues. I have the cable for my iPhone 4s and have gone from HDMI to Dvi-d to view on my 1080p monitor but if the tv isn't hd it wont work. This is because cimpisit and scart are analoug and HDMI is digital. You can get hdmi to compisite/scart converter boxes for £40 ish on ebay. You plug them into the mains the the HDMI in and analoug out and it converts signal from digital to analog so its crap quality.
    In summary, if the tv is not hd or has no HDMI support, it will be alot of troble and wont be worth it.

  • Best HDMI cable for 2009 Macbook?

    I've been using this HDMI cable to connect my 13' macbook to my HDTV:

    It was great for awhile (over a year) but now the cable has stopped working.
    Are there any newer/better cables out there that include audio support for an older Macbook (i.e., pre-2010?)?
    The nice thing about this cable was that It was an all-in-one and thus not too bulky.

    anyone, anyone??
