appletv DOES NOT have an HDMI mini port.
sounds like you are looking at the micro USB port. the HDMI port on the appletv is the normal size, the same as your TV.

  • Yoga 3 pro : problem connecting to HD TV with micro/mini HDMI to HDMI

    I purchased a YOGA 3 PRO (512GB) and couldn't be happier with how light and slim this jewel is. The CPU works fast and overall it's a gret UltraBook.
    BUT
    I just can't connect my Yoga 3 Pro to my TV. I purchased this Ultra Book at BEST BUY (this model is apparently an "exclusive" of Best Buy), and since I knew i need to connect it to an external monitor to do real work on photoshop, I also purchased an INSIGNIA micro-HDMI to HDMI cable.
    As shown below, my 32" HD TV (one of the latest models from LG / ref. 32LB5800) is recognized by Windows 8.1 and the INTEL HD Graphics 5300 Display driver (which i updated to the latest version 10.18.10.3960), but unfortunately the TV says "NO SIGNAL".
    Link to image
    I've tried to connect the Insighnia mini-HDMI to HDMI cable in all 3 HDMI inputs on my TV, but same pathetic result. The first input is HDMI ARC, the second one is regular HDMI and the third one is for mobile devices (HDMI MHL), but all 3 returned the same "NO SIGNAL".
    So I figured maybe it was the TV. Thus i plugged my Yoga 3 Pro to a Pioneer Plasma TV that was about 3-4 years old, straight to one of HDMI inputs and same thing, no image. However, Windows 8.1 found the TV and even suggests the ideal resolution.
    In both cases the TV model was found by Windows 8.1 and shown under the "Screen Resolution" menu. I selected "Extend these displays" to use the TV as a main monitor, but of course this doesn't help the case.
    So i started digging this forum and read a lot of coomplaints about the previous version of the YOGA PRO and that the micro-HDMI plug was poorly designed and the cable connector needed to be "trimmed" a little by 1mm or so to allow it plug fully into the port. So i tried that too, and even though i succesfully removed 1mm of rubber around my Insignia cable connector, it didn't help whatsoever since apparently, the new YOGA 3 PRO doesn't have this issue any longer, its design solved indeed that weakness of its predecessor.
    So I'm asking: what the hell is the problem then? it's driving me crazy. I've literrally spent the past 6 hours trying to figure it out, but without any success. This forum has ZERO post about a problem of connection of a YOGA 3 PRO to an HDTV. I know it's a very recent model, but still, I can't believe to be the only one experiencing this issue.
    If I don't find a solution quickly I'm afraid I'll have no other choice but to return it. It's unbelievable that both the latest iterations of the LENOVO YOGA PRO are having issues (likely different) connecting to an HD TV using the mini/micor HDMI port.
    Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but LENOVO better get their act together and fix this stat!
    UPDATE: i also noticed that when the cable is plugged into the micro-HDMI port, there's no more sound on the ultrabook. I played a video while the cable was plugged in and NO SOUND. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I would assume connecting the Yoga 3 Pro with the cable into the TV makes it believe that the sound shall be directed towards the TV now, hence the disabled sound on the Ultrabook, even though on the receiving side, the TV still doesn't get any signal from that cable, neither video nor audio.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    well it turned out the culprit was the INSIGNIA Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable sold by Best Buy. I tried another cable brand and now it's working just fine! Go figure...

  • Mini-HDMI to VGA does not work with projectors having long cables

    Hi
    I use a ThinkPad Yoga with Windows 8.1 and have problems to get a video signal to some projectors using a Mini-HDMI VGA adapter like this http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Active-Female-Adapter/dp/B00879ELGA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=13979...
    Usually it works but in some lecture/presentation rooms projectors show "no signal" (I changed all possible graphic settings). There seems to be a problem with cable length because after using a VGA repeater increasing video signal strength projectors show a picture. But the problem is those VGA repeaters are quite expensive and too big (if you are travelling). Some Mini-HDMI VGA adapters have USB ports to connect them to a power source but this does not really help to increase signal strength.I find this issue very annoying because all other (older) laptops with VGA ports or MacBooks with displayport-VGA adapters do not have this problem and produce a video signal that is strong enough to connect to projectors with long cables.
    My questions are:
    a) Is it possible to adjust my ThinkPad hardware settings to improve signal strength?
    b) If not, is there a small Mini-HDMI VGA adapter that produces a signal strong enough to connect projectors with long cables?
    c) If not, is there an affordable and small VGA repeater that does the job?
    Thanks!

    1) that is not possible
    2) Why not get a USB2VGA converter?

  • New 2012 Mac mini having screen resolution problem when I connect to either 27" LG or 22" Hannspree monitor. Tried mini display port to VGA/HDMI and HDMI to DVI-D cables... all same isse

    New 2012 Mac mini having issues in connecting to third party Monitors. Connected my mac mini to a 27" LG monitor. Text looks blurred. Tried connecting to the monitor using 3 options. 1) mini port to HDMI, then HDMI cable to LG monitor. 2) Mini port to VGA, then VGA cable to monitor 3) HDMI port on mini mac to DVI-D cable then DVI to DVI cable... In all cases text is not clear. Anyone has similar issues with latest mini mac. The monitor works fine when I connect to a windows 7 Samsung laptop. Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance

    Why do you use always 2 cables? There's a lot that can go wrong.
    1.) Hardware:
    - Use only one cable, best an HDMI->HDMI cable. It doesn't need to be an expensive one, they've proven to be no worse than those "esoteric", expensive ones.
    - Set the monitor to the HDMI input.
    - The modes you are listing are only "picture modes" changing color/brightness/contrast settings, not resolution or the likes, so pick the one you like best later, or enter your own settings under Custom.
    2.) OS X:
    - Usually the Mac detects the screen itself and chooses the best settings, so by default you need to do nothing than make a proper hardware connection to get a decent image.
    - However, there have been issues with new Mac Minis and particularly their HDMI ports. But reportedly they have been fixed with a software update. So, launch the App Store and check under Updates if there is one for you to install. If so, do it; otherwise you should be good to go.
    - If you require, go to System Preferences -> Displays. In the Dispaly tab, by default, "Best for display" should be selected, and that is typically true. If you want, select "Scaled" and 1920x1080, plus a frequency from the list (where higher is usually better, but just pick the one that works best for you). If you can't see a change to the better, you best go back to "Best for display".
    - If you are not happy with the colors on your screen, you'll find eventually more than one choice in the Color tab, though your particular screen should be in the list and its Display Profile should get you the best result. (Double-check picture modes on your display: if you're far off there, you won't make it much better with the Mac's settings).

  • When i connect my macbook using the mini hdmi to my HD samsung tv, the response is always "mode not supported".  ideas?

    I'm using the mini HDMI to connec to a Samsung HDTV.  The response is always "Mode Not Supported."  Anyone know what to do?  Trying to watch TV shows from iTunes on the TV.  Thanks, Hugh

    Hi Jake,
    It's impossible to know without troubleshooting, but it sure sounds like a bad adapter or cable.

  • Mini-HDMI Port: Video OK, sound only works for iTunes

    Let me start by saying, I'm pretty new to Mac so please be gentle with your answers...
    I just got a new HD Samsung TV and have connected it to my Macbook Pro through the Mini-HDMI port. There are two HDMI inputs on my TV, DVI and ARC. I'm using DVI. The video displays perfectly but I'm having a little trouble with sound.
    Once I went to system preferences and switched the audio output method to "SAMSUNG - HDMI" my iTunes music began playing through the TV speakers. I played a .wmv video from my hard drive; sound and audio all worked well. However, when I attempt to play anything through the Internet, Youtube, Hulu, Pandora, no sound... I still get video, and if I switch the Output source back to "Internal Speakers - Built-In" there's no problem. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm using Google Chrome as my Internet Browser.
    I've double/triple checked the sites to make sure the local audio levels aren't being muted, and that doesn't seem to be the case. Is there a setting somewhere that references only Internet, or more specifically, Google Chrome audio Output levels?
    PLEASE HELP...
    Thanks

    The "Front" channel isn't the same thing as the front panel. From the ALSA wiki:
    "Front, Surround, Center, LFE (subwoofer) and Side (these are the names of the channels with Intel HD Audio, they may vary with different hardware)."

  • How do i use Desktop PC (Mini Hdmi or DVI) to imac27 as monitor

    How do i use Desktop Pc through imac27 as monitor? first of all i dont want to use bootcamp. cos it dont run high end game, this is a reason i want to use my pc .
    my Graphics Card use Dvi or mini Hdmi, so which kind of Adapter to use and want full Resolution.
    Thx.
    p.s sry english not my first.^^)

    First of all, what do you mean by plug in one set of speakers on your PC? if am not mistaken the card has 3 plugs for a default 5. surround sound. Yes your card can do 5. surround soud, but for that you need to have the 5. surround sound speakers, otherwise well it won't be 5. To get any audio from your TV, or Satelite Box, you need these items and ste
    ps.
    Make sure your TV or satelite box has 2 RCA's female plugs labeled (Output) to deli'ver the sound to another device *(from your Satelite or TV to the now dead 5. surround sound)? 2. Your computer must be on at ALL times to transmit (or play) the sound from your TV or satelite box. 3 you need a?Y?RCA to 3.5mm plug jack cable (they are at allMart or Bull'sEye stores for 2$. its a cable that has the 2 male RCA's 's white 's red at one end, the other end will have the classic headphone jack *(you can always use this cable to transmit any audio coming from any device such as MP3, CD, DVD, Laptop, TV, and many other devices to your 5. surround sound in the living room or the computer) 4. Plug the Y RCA in the input port in your Audigy2Zs sound card. Make sure the Mic, and AUX are on mute, and that the Line In volume is at 70% and your TV, Satelite Box audio is at 50%. If its too low volume watch out, you'll be controling about?4 volume settings *(the TV or Satelite Box, the Line-In, Master Volume on the sound card, and Speaker Volume) 5 Sit back and enjoy!

  • HP Slate 500 - HDMI To Projector (mini-HDMI)

    From HP Slate 500, I connected to Optoma PK301 projector, using the HDMI output port in the Slate's Dock. I am not seeing any video output in the projector.
    The Projector mini-HDMI is working good, I can see proper video output when connected to HDMI output from my laptop. Also, using a USB to VGA converter I am able to see video output from the Slate in the Projector.
    I didnot test the HDMI port on the Dock with any TV or other output device. But should I make any setting changes when using the HDMI output? Any pointers on this would be helpful.
    Thank you

  • Mac mini will not recognize my hdtv through hdmi to hdmi

    I just bought the new mac mini, got home super excited, hooked it up to my hdtv through hdmi to hdmi and nada.
    I have a Vizio, 42-inch, 50/60 hz, Plasma TV.  It was made in 2006 so there is no DVI port, it only has an RGB port other than the 2 HDMI ports.
    I have tried both HDMI ports.
    I tried turning everything off, unplugging everything waiting 10 seconds, reconnecting everything and turning the mac mini on first, then the tv AND vice versa.
    Nothing.
    My HDMI cable was kind of old so I went out and bought a new one from Belkin.
    Nothing.
    It does look like the TV is recognizing the device because it does not say "No signal", so it seems that the mac mini itself is not recognizing it.
    I just bought this thing, it has not even been setup yet!
    And I do not have another moniter here to hook it up to.
    I tried calling Apple Care, but I called at 7:30 waited for 30 minutes for someone to tell me they were transferring me to tech support, then the phone rang for 10 minutes.  I hung up and called back and they said the office was closed!
    I am a die hard mac user, but I am at my wit's end here.
    I guess my next step is to take it to the genius bar?
    But I wanted to see if anyone out there has any suggestions/ideas?
    (I know there are other discussions out there about this, but nothing I found actually helped my situation.
    Thanks everyone.

    I just got my mac mini as well and I'm having the same problem with my HDTV. Unfortunately I am not at home so I do not have the tv model on hand but it is a Panasonic from 05/06.  I am trying to connect from the HDMI on the mini to the HDMI port on the tv and when it boots up the grey start upscreen shows up on the tv and loads for alittle bit than everything goes black. Any ideas?

  • 2010 Mac Mini HDMI 1080p output to Samsung B750

    Hi all,
    I just got the new Mac Mini. My primary reason for getting it was because it had an HDMI output. I've now hooked it up to my Samsung LCD via HDMI to HDMI and it automatically detected it as 1080p. The image was pristine!
    However, the issue I am experiencing is quite irksome and basically defeats the purpose of having it as a HTPC. There is a severe delay between the movement of my mouse and the actual display of it on the screen. There is also audio/video syncing problems.
    This problem does not occur when I have it hooked up to my original monitor via miniDP, so I'm assuming it must be a TV or Mac display issue when outputting at 1080p. Is there a specific setting that I must do to either the Mac or the TV?

    I just bought a mac mini(2010) and had the same issue as coaster - mini to samsung P2270HD via HDMI gives a very bad picture quality. Took the mini back to the store and they reproduced the problem on the same monitor. Then the guy took a dvi cable and via HDMI-DVI adaptor connected it to the same monitor but on DVI input. Picture quality was fantastic.
    Now why did that happen? Same HDMI port but different input to Monitor

  • 2011 Mac Mini HDMI only 2Ch Stereo

    Wow is this frustrating. I've had my Mac Mini for about a week, and for the life of me, cannot get surround sound working via HDMI. I've read so many posts about people with this problem but I can't find a definitive answer for a fix. All I want is for the Mac Mini to passthrough the audio so that my Pioneer Receiver can handle all of the Dolby stuff.
    Setup is simple -
    Mac Mini ------> HDMI -------> Pioneer VSX-1020 Receiver --------> Samsung 55" LED
    Inside of the Midi Audio options, it shows my receiver as the audio device, and I have all of the options for 2ch, 8ch, etc. I also selected Dolby 5.1. I can only get PCM or Stereo to display on my receiver while ticking through these channel options, while I would expect Dolby to display if it is receiving a Dolby signal. Also, when I do the test tones in the Configure Speakers area, I get the correct test tones from all channels. BUT.........
    No matter what I play whether it be iTunes, VLC, etc, I am only getting 2 channel sound and my subwoofer.
    Can anybody help?? This seems like such a simple task yet it has me pulling my hair out.

    ive had my 1021 for about 2 months and i think its great. Do you like yours?
    i have 5.1 using optical cable to one of the optical in ports on the 1021. But you will need an optical-to-miniOptical adapter tip to use in the mini.
    then make sure that any app through which you want 5.1 has that specified in its prefs. (like VLC)
    VLC always has the option ' out through system', and if the system is optical out, then 5.1 will pass.

  • Mini HDMI-DVI disconnects when vga thunderbolt adapter is removed

    What I have found is that if the vga and HDMI adapters are connected to a monitor, I can get a signal from the HDMI-DVI adapter.  But when I disconnect the vga adapter, the HDMI-DVI signal goes away too.  Anybody know what's going on here?

    As other threads on this have pointed to, Monoprice sells HDMI/mini-displayport to VGA cables.

    Given the minor price variations, why not get a 10'?
    It's very annoying that Apple's included adapters are DVI-D not -I, otherwise I could use those DVI-I to VGA adapters that seem to litter my clients spaces....

  • Brand New Mac Mini HDMI Sync Issues

    I just purchased (as in 3/29/13) a late 2012 2.5GHz 500GB hard drive 4GB RAM Intel Dual Core i5 Mac Mini MD387LL/A. It is connected to a 27" Samsung B350 S27B350H monitor via HDMI to HDMI.
    I was excited to set it up. I was downloading the 10.8.3 update as I had read about the flickering problems. In the middle of the download the computer went to sleep. Upon waking the monitor flickered badly then went black. Like it was not receiving a signal.
    I powered the monitor down, and turned it back on. It had a display for about two seconds then went black again. I tried this several times with the same result each time.
    Finally the update to 10.8.3 was complete and....the problem persisted.
    I decided to see if it was the cable or the monitor. I connected the monitor directly to my Xbox with a different HDMI cable and it worked perfectly. So I switched to the original HDMI cable I used with the Mac Mini, again it was perfect!
    Upon reconnecting the monitor to the Mac Mini it was working again...for about an hour now the problem is back.
    I am completely frustrated and disappointed.
    Suggestions?
    Or do I just return the Mac Mini for a different one?

    Were you able to get your display working? I have an LG 27" at home connected to a Mid 2012 (June) MacBook Air 13" that has absolutely no issues. However, I just obtained the same Samsung monitor you have and appear to be having the same issue.
    The only solution that I have found is to unplug the power from the back of the monitor or at the power supply each time my computer either wakes from sleep, screensaver, or a display that is powered off. This seems to be true via the following connections:
    1. HDMI to DVI thunderbolt adapter
    2. HDMI to Thunderbolt adapter
    The display powers on with a slight flicker and then will immediately stop displaying the image on screen. What's especially strange here is the MacBook Air still believes the display is connected -- my login screen or active apps that are displayed on the external monitor do not move to the MacBook Air display as if it's no longer connected.
    I hope someone has a solution to this issue! Thanks!
