HDMI cable and display

anyone able to get the device to show up on a monitor through the HDMI port? Creative says the HDMI only works with video and images but i would like to use it to present. thanks.

Hello,
Yes i have watched several movies and a slide show on my HD tv using my ZiiO 0 and an HDMI cable. the first time you try to use HDMI output the device will take you to the HDMI settings where you can enable "auto" or "720p" output, I have mine set to 'Auto'.
I have the latest firmware updates on my device.

  • How to connect a MBP to a BENQ external monitor using a HDMI cable and a HDMI to mini display adapter?

    Hi, I have just bought a brand new HDMI cable and HDMI to minidisplay adapter  and tried to connect my Macbook Pro up. The external display knows it is there but it is not getting any signal. I have tried on another TV and it also says no signal and I also tried using another Mac but it still didn't work.
    Can anyone help?

    In some versions of Mac OS X, with the Displays pane open, holding the Option key will show the detect displays button in the lower right.
    I am using OS X Mavericks. Where did the Detect Displays button go?
    You can find the Detect Displays button in the Displays section of System Preferences. Once there, press and hold the Option key to see the Detect Displays button in the lower-right corner. You can click this button to manually detect another display.
    Another technique is to sleep and wake your computer, which will send the detect display sequence as well.

  • I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer was updated. Help pls

    I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer performed all software updates, and I even tried calling Apple Support. They just told me to keep trying different hdmi cables and see if anything pops up. Does anybody know what the problem is? My HDMI cable is from "rocketfish" also my display port is too.

    You may have the screen refresh rate set higher than the TV is generally able to track reliably. It may be able to get there most times, but occasionally loses sync because it is out of its nominal range.
    I suggest you sit down with the manual for the TV and find out what resolutions at what refresh rates it intends to support through VGA, and make sure your screen settings are near (or below) those limits.

  • I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

    I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

    Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
    On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.  Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection.  Check your connections.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown.  You should see a picture at this point.  I  recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

  • New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

    I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
    It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
    I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
    Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
    Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
    P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
    Thanks!

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • I have a 2011 i5 iMac and I am trying to connect it to my Samsung PS50C680 Plasma TV. I am using a MDP to HDMI cable and using HDMI 1 which is the correct input according to the manual. No matter which I turn on first the iMac still cannot connect.

  • I have a late 2008 MacBook I would like to watch movies on my tv from.  I bought the HDMI cables and the one to use for audio also but I still don't get any sound.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Maryan,
    Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

  • I was able to hook up my macbook pro to the hdmi cable and see my desk top but it won't let me see any programs I open.

    I was able to hook up my macbook pro to my tv using an hdmi cable and all I see is my desk top but not the movie playing on Netflix.  Is there some utility I need to do on my computer?

    Your TV is acting as an extension of your desktop. You can have some windows on your internal screen and some on your TV. Just drag the ones you want on your TV to that part of the extended screen. You can find out how the two screens are related spacially (and control it) at System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.
    If you prefer the two screen display the same windows, you can activate mirroring on that same preferences panel. You will have to choose what common resolution they both use.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

    Hello gman0700.
    Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to produce audio through an HDMI connection. I apologize for the late response, but I will do my best to assist you. Before anything else, please answer these questions:
    1. What is the current computer's operating system? Does the same behaviour occur on multiple operating systems?
    2. The title seems to imply that there is no audio when connected to a television, using HDMI. Does this only occur when you connect to a television? Will it occur if you connect to something else using HDMI?
    3. Have you tried connecting to a television using VGA or DVI? If so, what are the results?
    As an additional suggestion, for now, I would review the television's manual to confirm that everything is correct from the television's standpoint.
    Please post this information as soon as you can. Thank you posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Hp hdx 16t laptop, hooked it philips 52 tv via hdmi cable and get video but no audio

    Hp HDX 16t laptop Windows vista home prem, 64 bit, 4 gig ram, (512) 9600m gt nvidia geforce video card.
    Hi I have a hp hdx 16t laptop, hooked it up to philips 52 inch LED tv via an  hdmi cable and get video on tv but no audio.  Only sound from laptop, My tv is set to computer hdmi 1 and all drivers up tp date.  I have goolged numerous solutions and none have worked.  If anybody has the time, a solution would be just great.. jd.

    If you have the the video drivers installed for your notebook's chipset and the discrete video module then you should see something similar to the folowing image. This is on my loaner HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea. When I connect the notebook to my Philips HDTV the operating system switches to HDMI audio after I direct the video to the TV with the function keys on the notebook.

  • My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

    My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.  This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

    Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
    If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

  • 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.

    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 -.-

  • 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.
