Do they make usb to hdmi cords?

I want to hook my macbook up to stream on my flat creen tv. My mac does not have a hdmi hook up. Do they make usb to hdmi cords?

If you connect the MacBook using a MiniDVI/HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a stereo system for audio. The Mini-DVI/HDMI doesn't carry audio and there's no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
If your TV has a DVI plug you can use a Mini-DVI/DVI adapter. The TV will have RCA audio plugs for use with the DVI.

The Mini-DVI adapters are for Pre 2008 MacBooks. The newer ones use Mini Display Port adapters. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier. Post that number back here and we can tell you which adapter to use.

What model and year is your MacBook? Some older MacBooks don't support Audio out via miniport/HDMI (the display miniport is video only).

I have a late 2008 white macbook. I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter, and a hdmi cord. My cannot get my MB to detect an external monitor. Nothing happens when plugged in. Also, my display settings does not have an option for mirroring or arrangment tab

Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

Why does my Vizio hdtv say no signal when I connect my minidisplay port to hdmi cord between my macbook pro and tv?

My Vizio hdtv says "No Signal" when I use my mini displayport to hdmi cord. It worked flawlessly for a month but randomly decided to no longer work.
I am using a macbook pro from early 2011 running os x Lion 10.7.5 and a thunderbolt to hdmi cord. The cord has worked without a hitch the numerous times I've used it until recently. Now plugging it in will cause the macbook to flash blue quicker than normal and immediately go back to the normal screen. I know the macbook recognizes the TV because changing the input on the TV to the hdmi connected to the computer will cause the macbook to flash blue again, with the same result. The TV remains unresponsive. I have tried all combinations of turning on and off the TV and macbook with the cord plugged in and unpugged from either and both systems and in both hdmi inputs on the TV. I've changed the display resolution to every possible option with no result. The TV is not recognized as a display on either the Display section of System Preferences or the Sound section.
It confounds me that the cord should work flawlessly until now, a month after buying it, for no apparent reason. I've been gentle with the cord, so the problem being a result of damage is unlikely. I had not updated my computer in any way between the successful and unsuccessful uses of the cord, but I have since updated my computer and the problem remains.
I have searched for this problem on the Internet and have seen others with similar problems, but I have not found a solution that resolves my problem. I hope to avoid having to make any additional purchases.
And a thousand and one thanks to any and all who help.

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.

Macbook HDMI cord TV sound hook up problem

I just bought a 2 cords to hook up my Macbook Pro to my TV. I went to best buy and they told me that the mini display port to HDMI adapter by rocket fish linked with they DYNEX High Speed HDMI cable cord should allow me to view my computer on my TV with audio. I went online and searched how to set it all up. I was able to get my computer screen to show on my TV but when i go to the sound in system preferences and go to output there is no option for the tv. How could i get my computer to recognize my Samsung HD TV and get audio to the TV instead of coming out of my computer? This is what is showing up in my sound system preferences

If you connect the 5,5 MacBook Pro using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort on the MacBook Pro doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with the HDMI input plug since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
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
You'll also need audio cables. 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_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

USB to HDMI adapter for external display in clamshell mode?

Hello.
Does anyone know of a USB to HDMI (or DVI) adapter so that I can connect an external display (with an HDMI or DVI cable) to a USB port on my Macbook air?
I need to run it in clamshell mode, mirroring the Air display. The Monoprice USB to HDMI adapter (which uses DislplayLink drivers) I tried does not work properly in clamshell mode with mirroring (though it works in arrangement mode). I know I can use the Thunderbolt port, but I need to leave this free for a Firewire device.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem, but using USB devices and Displaylink software. I know there are issues with Displaylink software as they say the problem is with Apple. I have three external monitors with a late 2008 I Macbook Pro which gives me four screens. I was able to get two to work + the Macbook, but there were so many issues, like you described, that I have given up and I am just using the Mini Display port which gives me one external and the Macbook. Looks like we will just have to wait until Apple does something. I have found no other solutions at this point - hardware or otherwise.

If I am using my Apple TV without hdmi cords do I always lose hdcp playback? If not, which adapters or cords must I purchase so my Apple TV still works optimally?

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
Thanks in advance,
Grtz T.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Keyboard without English - do they make em? Deutsch + Russian wanted

Hi,
Does Apple produce USB keyboards, multilingual, but without English?
My uncle needs a German+Russian one.
Is laser engraving of a pure-Deutsch one the only solution?
Do they make Deutsche keyboard without dupe letters on the keys?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the German keyboard looks almost exactly like the US one with the exception of the 'Y' and 'Z' keys switched places (giving QWERTZ in the first row)
To my knowledge there is no Russian (kyrillic) version of th keyboard.
Might be good to conatct Apple Russia http://www.apple.com/ru/

My AppleTV stopped working after power outage. Light is on and I rebooted and reset w remote but it keeps giving me a pic of the Hdmi cord like it is not recognizing the hdmi as being plugged in. I've unplugged it several times.

It is in recovery mode. The picture is telling you to connect to iTunes via micro usb cable in order to restore.

Do they make external displays for iPhones?

I am going to get an iPhone 5c. Love everything about it, but the screen is too small for me to read comfortably books & magazines. Do they make "dummy" screens? Like the size of an iPad air but empty inside so that I can plug in the iPhone?
I *need* a new mobile telephone, which is why I am not getting an iPad. I thought of getting a Nook for reading, except that I also like magazines and catalogs, and the nook that handles that has so many features of a tablet...well, I'd rather just stick to 2 portable computers (a phone and laptop.)

with this
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=4 5
you can display on any device which have hdmi in
but it those screen for the back of the head rest in cars to 80" tv's
the iphone will mirror it's screen

Can video be loaded to ipad from any camcorder with a usb (video out) cord?

Using the camera connection kit usb adaptor, can video be downloaded to an iPad2 from any camcorder with a usb (video out) cord? Would the video then be accessed via iTunes?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4101 :
iPad Camera Connection Kit imports most media files on the camera or SD card, regardless of whether that format is compatible with iPad. If you are unable to view certain images or videos, verify that they are in an iPad compatible format, or import them to your computer for viewing.
They should then be accessible from your computer, but not via iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

Hello Elliiee,
The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Triple monitor with intel and SenseVision Club 3d usb to hdmi adapter

Hi,
I have an all in one machine with a single intel VGA:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
I also have an external monitor which works fine. I would like to use a third monitor through the SenseVision Club 3d usb to hdmi adapter (Chipset: DL-195).
http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/produc … apter.html
I'm using the udlfb module with the option: fb_defio=1
The monitor attached to the usb to hdmi adapter turns green when the machine starts.
The problem is that I'm able to use only one adapter at the time. So I can use the integrated monitor and the external one attached to the intel VGA or the monitor attached to the usb to hdmi adapter but not all of them together.
Here is my xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "intel"
# BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "dl1"
Driver "fbdev"
# BusID "PCI:0:3:0"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monitor1"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monitor2"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen0"
Device "dl1"
Monitor "monitor0"
#DefaultDepth 16
#DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "intel"
Monitor "monitor1"
#DefaultDepth 16
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen2"
Device "intel"
Monitor "monitor2"
#DefaultDepth 16
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "multihead"
Screen 0 "screen0" 0 0
Screen 1 "screen0" LeftOf "screen1"
Screen 2 "screen1" LeftOf "screen2"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
EndSection
Switching the screen0 and screen1 positions in the xorg.conf makes work the intel vga. The current configuration enables only the usb monitor. The screen2 is discarded by the xorg stating that none monitor is attached to the device.
I also tried to tinker with the BusID values. Specifying BusID "USB" makes the xorg crash.
Is it possible at all to use three monitors at the time with the current state of art? Any success story with this setting?
Could you please share your working xorg.conf if you have any?
Any suggestion?
Thank you very much.

Apparently yes,
According to the thread:
To restore to the old behaviour, put this in your ~/.drirc:
<driconf>
<device screen="0" driver="i915">
<application name="Default">
<option name="vblank_mode" value="0" />
</application>
</device>
</driconf>
But I don't come back to the same perfs as before (tested with eternal lands).
I noticed that in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(WW) intel(0): Register 0x61200 (PP_STATUS) changed from 0xc0000008 to 0xd0000009
(WW) intel(0): PP_STATUS before: on, ready, sequencing idle
(WW) intel(0): PP_STATUS after: on, ready, sequencing on
(WW) intel(0): Register 0x71024 (PIPEBSTAT) changed from 0x00020202 to 0x00020000
(WW) intel(0): PIPEBSTAT before: status: VBLANK_INT_ENABLE VSYNC_INT_STATUS VBLANK_INT_STATUS
(WW) intel(0): PIPEBSTAT after: status: VBLANK_INT_ENABLE
There seem to be some problem with mtrr
I found this problem which seems related but I only have 2GB of memory
