Displaying MacBook on Panasonic HDTV USED to work...

Anyone have any idea why one day I was able to use my Panasonic 50" HDTV as a monitor for my MacBook, and then suddenly the next day it stops working? I'm using mini-DVI to DVI and DVI to HDMI adapter/cables. Would having updated the security software the last time have anything to do with this? Thanks!

I have a similar problem, just ran a software update for my macbook yesterday and since then my Samsung 20" T200HD has stopped working properly. I can still get an image but the resolution is crap now. It seems my mac is not recognizing the Samsung as the main Display anymore even when I put it to sleep with lid down and wake it up using an external keyboard. Anyone else having problems with their external displays? Is apple releasing any fixes for these issues?

If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
Not necessarily. That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio. You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.

I want to if I would be able to view my mac computer on my Vizio HDTV using Apple TV. I want to find a way to do this wirelessly, so if no any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV is not intended to mirror a computer to the TV, you will need a cable to do this but you won't need an Apple TV.

Audio problem with boot camp when I connect my windows 7 macbook pro to HDTV

I have windows 7 32 bits installed on my macbook pro and I setup boot camp 4. When I connect my macbook pro to HDTV using mini display cable, the audio doesn't work. Although I set the default sound device to digital audio? help please!

I've found that jiggling with the audio connection to my Mac Pro when running in Boot camp, I get audio OK. I don't understand why -- because I always get audio when running in Leopard.

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

I want to display MacBook Pro email videos on my Panasonic TV. I bought it in Jan 2010, one article says the function is supported on mid-2010 models and later. Think I can buy the hook ups and get this to work?

I want to display computer contents (email videos, YouTube videos) on my Panasonic HDTV. Can a model from Jan. 2010 do this? Thanks.

Yes, easily — but to get the audio to the TV through the same HDMI cable as the video, you'll need an adapter like the ones I linked in this thread:

Macbook to Panasonic Viera HDTV issues :( HELP!

Hi
I recently bought the correct cables to connect my macbook to the TV using HDMI. The macbook connects to the TV and I can see this because in the system preferences 'Display' Panasonic TV settings come up. The thing is there is no macbook picture on my TV. Please help. Ive been looking at it for hours!
Thanks in advance!

Depends on what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI or HDMI. You'll need a Mini DisplayPort adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini DisplayPort adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_2_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mini+ displayport&sprefix=mini+displayport&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amini+displayport
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort 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 sound system 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 DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

"Arrangement" tab missing, can't display Macbook on HDTV

Hello,
I have a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter, an HDMI cable and an HDTV. I'm trying to hook up my Macbook to the HDTV, but I'm having trouble because the "Arrangment" tab is missing in the Display settings.
The crazy thing is that I've successfully mirrored displays countless times before, with the same cables, Macbook, and HDTV. But one day the "Arrangement" tab decided not to show up, and I'm at the end of my rope trying to figure out what happened or what I did differently.
The HDTV recognizes that the HDMI cable is plugged in, and the Macbook recognizes when it is connected to the TV as well, flashing blue when I plug or unplug the mini-DVI adapter. I've tried everything I can think of: restarting, unplugging everything and plugging it all back in, sleeping and waking the computer, trying to connect the Macbook while plugged in and while just running on the battery, turning everything off before disconnecting and reconnecting the cables - everything. No matter what I try, clicking "Detect Displays" still does nothing, my HDTV's screen remains blank, and the "Arrangement" tab remains absent.
I've done everything short of buying new cables, which I don't want to do because I know that what I have works!
Any suggestions? I've really missed watching things on my HDTV. Thanks for your time!

After much fiddling with display resolutions and TV setting, and several calls to Apple help, problem was found to have a really basic solution: replace the RCA connector cable. The old one was shot.

I've just hooked my 20" iMac up to my Toshiba 37" HDTV using a mini dvi-HDMI adapter, and works well, EXCEPT for the green tinge (or hue) that is showing up on my TV. Any suggestions or ideas?

I've just hooked my 20" iMac display up to my Toshiba 37" HDTV using a mini dvi-HDMI adapter, and everything works well, EXCEPT for the green tinge (or hue) that is showing up. Everything else looks pretty good though..... The color that is on my iMac is still good, Its just green on the TV.
Anyone have suggestions or ideas?

Try opening the Display System Preferences, then click on the Color options in the Display preferences window that appeared on the Toshiba display. Click on the Calibrate button and follow the instructions for creating a custom ColorSync profile that will hopefully solve the green tinge issue. The Apple Display Calibrator Assistant software that launches when you click on the calibrate button will walk you through the process.Assuming that the green tinge is minor and that you don't have a more serious cable or hardware issue, I am hopeful the results will be worth it.

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

You don't. Mirroring is duplicating your ipad screen on another projector - so you can't have another app going on your iPad without it also showing up on the projected image. Some apps are designed so that you see a different image in the iPad than the mirrored out display, but even then you're within the app itself.

MacBook Pro does not sense external monitor (Panasonic HDTV in my case) via thunderbolt-HDMI connection...Is update 10.8.3 helping anyone?

My MacBook Pro (newest model in 2013 so far) does not sense external monitor (Panasonic HDTV in my case) via thunderbolt-HDMI connection...Is update 10.8.3 helping anyone else who has this issue? I returned my multiple HDMI adapters after figuring out it had to be an Apple issue n not the adapters so I can't check it myself now.
Thanks!

I have late 2012 MBP 13" and connect to my Panasonic Plasma correctly.
But using the same cable, can't connect to an LG 47LM6200, the MBP detects the TV, the screen blinks blue, but the TV shows "no sinal detected" message.

I have a Macbook Pro 13.3 i5 w/ no hdmi port. How can I connect my Mac to TV to watch video, photo ? Is the Thunderbolt port a mini display port where I can use a mini display port to HDMI cable? If not, what are my options??

I have a Macbook pro 13.3 w/ i5 that has no hdmi port. I want to be able to connect the Mac to my TV set to watch Video, Photos and files from Mac to TV.
Is the Thunderbolt port similar to a display port or mini display port? Can I use thunderbolt port to connect thru a mini displayport to HDMI cable or converter?
Been trying to locate a USB to HDMI cable or converter (at a reasonable price) but all I found is a displayport or mini displayport to HDMI cable/converter.
What other options are available ?
Thanks a lot for your assistance.

Thunderbolt uses a Mini DisplayPort adapter to send video and audio to HDMI. Here's some on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_2_8?url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-ke ywords=mini+displayport+to+hdmi&sprefix=mini+dis%2Caps%2C249#/ref=nb_sb_noss?ur l =search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=mini+displayport+to+hdmi+with+audio&rh = n%3A172282%2Cn%3A!493964%2Cn%3A541966%2Ck%3Amini+displayport+to+hdmi+with+audio
