Display Still thinks Im Connected

I connected to my television montior as i have done many times, but this time the dual display came on and i do not know how to turn it off, or to connect back to a monitor. The computer thinks i am already connected at the moment but i am not. The television preferences window appears as well, and pressing detect displays does not reset it. I have been searching for hours and have done what most have involving similar problems, for example putting it to sleep and restarting it, starting with PRAM, etc. Anyone have further information or ideas?

I got water in the headphone jack and the ipad wouldn't play sound. I tried using headphones inserted and removed to trick the ipad and it didn't work, I couldn't find anything fine enough to clean out the jack. I tried resetting the general settings.
What worked was leaving it upside down, headphone jack down in a bowl of rice overnight so it would absorb any moisture. That worked!
If you can't get it working, best to head into an Apple store and they will clean out the headjack port with blast of air to remove any dirt/ dust.

My iphone 4 still thinks my headphones are connected

my iphone 4 still thinks my headphones are still connected, ive tried blowing it out and sucking on the jack nand taking it out and putting it back in many time and it still wont work, any ideas?

Have you tried shutting down the phone completely? Restarting it may clear some software setting to allow the headphone jack to realize there's nothing attached.

IPhone still thinks headset is connected.

Help! My iPhone still thinks the headset is plugged in! I've tried re-ronnecting the headset and dis-connecting again, and have tried cold and warm reboots to no avail.
Many thanks in advance if you can cure this one for me.

PB still thinks external monitor is there

Any thoughts on why my Powerbook still thinks the secondary monitor is attached?
I had connected an external monitor to my PB via the S-Video port for a presentation, and since then - it still thinks the monitor is there.
I've restarted, reset PRAM, logged in as a newly created user, and it still allows me to move the trackpad passed the LCD's boundries.
There has to be another option besides reinstalling the whole system?

Perhaps try connecting the PB to a different external display to make it forget the S-video connected one was ever there. Hopefully it will then forget the newly connected one once you have detached it.
Admittedly this is not a great solution and certainly doesn't get you to the root of the original problem.

2 airport extreme base stations later and still no internet connection-

Sorry - yet another beginner with internet connection troubles! (I have read all the posts I could find relating, but without any help).
I have had a Demon broadband account now for about a month (I’m in the UK) and in that time I have purchased a D-Link DSL-300T Ethernet modem and an Airport Extreme Base Station. I got wireless internet working relatively easily – with a powerful range over the whole house and garden, but then one Sunday night, the internet connection via the base station suddenly ‘died’.
I spent the following 3 days scrutinising all of my settings of both the Modem and the Base station, re-setting both, and bought new Ethernet cables / micro filters etc but with no luck. (I’ll point out at this stage that my broadband account is still active, and if I connect the Ethernet modem directly to my iBook [wired] I can still get my broadband connection. Alternatively, I tried daisy chaining the modem to the base station and then via an Ethernet cable to an iBook, but no connection could be made).
When wireless, Airport Admin recognises there is a modem there, and under preferences > network under Airport it states I am connected to the internet – but I’m not.
I then phoned D-Link and they confirmed my firmware was up-to-date for use with Apple products and talked me through all of the modem settings and tweaked a few things, but there was still no connection to the base station. I then phoned Apple. They were incredibly helpful (as ever) and after 35 min. came to the conclusion the base station might not be re-setting itself properly. The replacement one came yesterday, and again I spent a number of hours trying to get it connected to the internet, but there is still no internet connection via airport and I can confirm this from both my eMac and iBook.
Reading through the forums on here, I understand that my particular modem is problematic with the base station, but I can’t work out why it use to work and now it doesn’t! One theory I have investigated is that the firmware of the base station is two advance for the modem following an update, but after reinstalling the original firmware I started with, I still have no luck.
- The eMac is running 10.3.9 / iBook is running 10.4.3. The base station is reinstalled with the latest firmware via system update. The first base station and the modem were delivered to me 31/10/05.
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated if anyone has any ideas
Thanks for your time
Will.

I think if you follow the instructions I gave in this
link you will be fine.
Remember, If you for any reason loose your
connection, it is normally always a Power Issue..Your
ISP is down for service ..or some other anomoly, If
you were good before your settings will still be
good...Good Luck...Don
Hi Don,
Thanks for you quick response. I printed off the instructions you posted on the support forum before, and ran through your procedue exactly, (twice) but I'm sorry to inform you that I haven't been able to re-establish my wireless internet connection. Would it be safe for me to assume at this stage that my modem is indeed fualty? It contines to work fine independantly, (I'm using it right now) but it can't seem to make contact with the basestation.
Will.

Can 23" cinema HD Display support Game systems connectivity

I currently have my display connected to my MacBook but space is a factor at my dorm. Can I use my Apple 23" Cinema HD Display to connect my xbox 360? I bought a DVI to HDMI adapter but i get no picture. i also have a xbox VGA cable if i need to go that route. I figure digital to digital should give me a better picture, the an analog to digital. Can my 23" Cinema HD Display support game system connectivity or these older display were meant for Mac's Only?

followup question... Does the 23" cinema HD Display support HDCP? Could that be the cause for a blank screen. the power light is solid. I when to Display settings and lower resolution on the monitor, still no picture?

If PC's display card has a mini display port,could I connect it with iMac?

My PC has a ATI HD6870 display card,the display card has 2 mini display ports.Could I connect PC to iMac27(new vision) with mini display ports?I just want to use iMac as PC's Monitor in some time.

The short answer is yes, get a cable and try it; should work.
This guy wrote a long answer, still yes in your case:

10.7.3 Combo Updated and still no internet connectivity, 15" Early '11 MBP, Wi-Fi or ethernet

Early 2011 15" MacBook Pro, 2.2Ghz i7, 8GB RAM
I downloaded the 10.7.3 delta update on Saturday and installed it without issues. As soon as I started using it I was unable to connect to any internet conenction within OS X. Wi-Fi, Ethernet, nothing can connect to the internet, although I can connect to the router.
I am able to connect to the internet using my Boot Camp Windows 7 partition, as well as through the Lion Recovery Disk's Safari Browser.
I was able to download the 10.7.3 combo update as the hopeful solution to my problems using Windows 7.
However, after installing it I am in no better position and my 10.7.3 install still has no access whatsoever to the internet.
Looking for an urgent fix, and have tried most of the various forum suggestions (checking/unchecking settings, etc.) - all to no avail.
Please help.

I've been on 10.7.1 thru 10.7.3 and am still suffering from connectivity issues (brand new MBA running Lion). If you search using the keywords Lion Wifi Problems (or something to that effect) a lot pops up...one thread has almost 200k views and the other's got over 45k (other threads have a few hundred or a few thousand), just in the Apple Support area alone, ignoring the bloggers that have also raised this issue.
The issue doesn't affect everyone running Lion, or all of a particular type of machine, but there are enough reports of Lion on different machines (upgrades to older machines, and pre-installed brand new ones, desktops and notebooks), using different routers, in different countries, etc., to show that this is a statistically significant problem, and that there's most certainly a bug in the OS. There are people running PCs and older OS versions and iOS on the same network, and the only thing with the problem is the machine running Lion. Unforunately, Apple has not officially acknowledged this problem, so for those of us who've tried everything and run out of options, we're stuck with what we've got - an expensive machine that can rarely/barely connect to the internet.
There are some temporary fixes like logging out and logging back in (sometimes after logging into a different account), renewing the DHCP lease in network preferences, turning the router off and on again, reinstalling the OS, deleting all the remembered networks and passwords, deleting the preference file and letting it rebuild, changing the order of services in network preferences (e.g. so WiFi comes before Bluetooth), setting up a continuous ping so the network doesn't disconnect because there's no data transfer, etc., etc. For some people, this miraculously works, but for most, it's a quick fix or doesn't help at all.
10.7.3 was supposed to address part of the issue (not finding a network when waking from sleep), but unfortunately hasn't for most people. I'm starting to think the only way this will get fixed is if people kick up enough of a fuss to mainstream media that they start to take notice and report on this. I would think that this is far worse a problem than the antenna issue, because these machines are more expensive, and lose connectivity regardless of how we hold them or where we take them. This is particularly frustrating for those of us who own machines that have no ethernet port, or are in places where the only option is WiFi.
Best of luck with resolving this. Hopefully Apple will fix things soon!

I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4. I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect. Suggestions?

I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.

HT1695 Did iOS 6.0.2 update, but still can't connect to certain WiFi networks. FIX THIS, APPLE!

Like the subject line says, I installed the 6.0.2. update with my fingers crossed, but my iPhone 5 still doesn't connect to certain networks. Of course, Apple in their "Troubleshooter" sends me to an article telling me how to connect to a WiFi network, and to reset Network settings (which I've done numerous times).
This happens in a local coffee shop, and one odd thing is that the owner thinks he has his router set to require a password, but none of my devices show it to be a secured network (though it was and did require a password when I initially joined the network).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We have the same problem here at the university campus. See my post
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4322372
We hope that Apple will release a fixed iOS 6-Version soon.

TS4006 Just moved from Vermont to Florida, but I pad still thinks it is in Vermont, why?

We just moved last week from Vermont to Florida. Our I phones know they are in Floida, but the IPAD still thinks it's in Vermont. The Ipad is connected to our WIfi and working fine except for the location issue.

If you have the WiFi-only iPad your location is determined by the mapped location of nearby WiFi routers.
The WiFi-only iPad does not have GPS. Without GPS location-finding is done by using a Apple location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. Each router has a unique MAC address.
The Apple database is built and updated by Apple GPS-enabled devices (primarily iPhones) actually seeing routers and then adding/updating the router's locations into the database.
Note that to be location mapped, or to be used for location determination, a WiFi router does not need to be connected to a router, it just has to see the router. More precise location determination can be done if several nearby routers can be seen. When a router is moved from one location to another erroneous locations can sometimes be reported until the router's location is corrected in Apple's database.

HT5219 Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

Thank you, I have read that I could daisy chain the HD RAID enclosure on one of the thunderbolt ports with another monitor, if the monitor were at the end of the chain, but I do not know if the other port would still simultaneously support yet another external display at the same time.

TS3354 "To play this movie in HD, you must have a PC with a built-in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP."

I recently reinstalled restored my Toshiba laptop with Windows 8 to factory condition. I reinstalled iTunes, and now when I try to play a movie, I get this error message: "To play (name of movie) you must have a PC with built-in display or have it connected to a display that has built in HDCP." This happens with both my downloaded movies and my iCloud movies. It never did this before. Any suggestions?

I have the exact same problem. I watched both AnchorMan 2 and The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug a week ago on my set up. BenQ monitor ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Video card. No issues. Then I reformat and all of a sudden my purchased movies give me that error. It's so frustrating.
The odd part is for the Hobbit the itunes extras will start just like before, however I can't select a scene.
How is there no response to this? Are we missing something obivous? A default setting? Driver?
Help please!

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
