Hdmi no longer works

I use hdmi cable to connect macbook to lg tv.
This worked perfectly before recent software update, now sound only and screen saver-- no picture?

Have you tried resetting the nv ram?
     Turn off your mac
     Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
     Turn on your Mac.
     Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys immediately after you hear the startup sound.
     Hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for a second time.
     Release the keys.

[Helix] Panel replaced twice digitizer dead and hdmi no longer working

hi all,
Appologies for the length, but despite my frustrations over aspects of the helix (fan, heat, digitzer not always working etc) I've been happy that I'd bought the device as a "right choice", hence the high level of frustration at things going differently...
3-4 weeks ago my helix started suffering with up to half the screen no longer working (from simply black to an interference style pattern). At this stage HDMI out worked as did the digitzer, even if I couldn't see what the pen would click on.
I phoned up the CH support line (in English) and ended up with a number of nice call center people who said I'd have an engineer out for the next business day. I then had a period of 3 days without being called, and after chasing on the support was informed a part had been ordered. Two days later I had a visit from the engineer.
The on-site engineer, like the call staff, was very nice (even in the face of having to sit in a restaurant to look at the panel). He returned the device the next day with a brand new panel. However I then discovered the digitzer wasn't working.
A week later after a series of remote software installations and bios upgrades another on-site engineer came out. He too was very pleasent, and was also visibily irratated that the digitzer didn't work after yet another panel swap.
In all cases I had to chase the support to find out what the current status was. This I find to be poor customer service - a simple email or status page would have been great and let me know even a little of what was going on.
Whats worse service is that I still, after chasing again, have no idea what course of action I should take. One option the engineer gave was to send the device away for up to 4 days (to esag), or perhaps order a new motherboard or other piece....
This is my first, and at this rate probably my last thinkpad, so I have no idea what I should expect and no great deal of confidence despite the clear best intentions of those with whom I've interacted that even if I send it away I'll get a fixed laptop back. The knowledge on helix's in ch simply seems to low.
Does anyone here, lenovo guys of course included, have any clues as to what I can expect / what my next actions should be?
Cheers,
Chris

well to answer my own question and make sure others know to stay away from Helix / possibly Lenovo...
I had the machine replaced. The DOA team and the lenovo team were again great, I can't state this clearly enough. But they are helping on a badly made / designed / engineered product. It overheats, the pen stops working (usb device not recognized etc), could be the flex in the screen but its definitely a hardware problem.
The replacement came, worked for 2 weeks and then died. Then I had to go through the same remote support - install everything - process as before. Again, as before, the machine was simply not functioning.
The replacement got replaced. The new one worked for 6 weeks before it started happening again. As of last week the pen no longer works at all, same as before.
Off to start another round of attempting to get a replacement or this time a refund.
Again to be clear, there is only one device on the market that has the same functionality as this - the Fujitsu, and I love the functionality and the excellent keyboard, but I can't really rely on the machines quality at all.
More accurately I can only rely on the lack of build quality :<

Mini dvi to HDMI no longer working to t.v.

Hello. For months I was able to use the mini dvi to HDMI to use my Samsung HD t.v. as a monitor from my Macbook Pro. Suddenly one day when I started it up, the t.v. said "No Signal" and then the Macbook Pro goes to sleep. If I take out the mini dvi it will wake up again, but the moment I put it back the t.v. goes back for a second the way it usually would when it first recognizes the mac, then the mac goes to sleep again. If I look at the built in display, I can see that it isn't even detecting the Samsung is hooked up any more. Could the video card have already gone bad? It isn't even six months old.

I'm having similar problems. I have a Toshiba Regza 1080p HDTV and frustrated that I cannot get my audio and video to work selecting one INPUT source on the TV. I used to stream Netflix with the minidiv and a separate mini stereo cable and it worked! until I moved and voila it stopped working. Grrrrr. I switched to a mini stereo y cable when a technician told me perhaps my audio cable was bad. Tried every combination of display setting on my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.5.8) and I'm stumped. Little to no sound setting on my MBP as some forums advise that I select an HDMI output. BL: My MBP sends audio out (thru HD Colorstream 1 audio input) and video using minidvi-HDMI to Toshiba's HMDI 1 (tried HDMI 2; etc.) Nothing works. Since only one input may be selected thru the HDTV at any given time I cannot figure out what I need to do the get the audio from Colorstream HD1 and HDMI video to synchronize. I just read about the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Pro w/Optical Audio cable and wondering if that will push my audio from MBP and video to the Toshiba HDMI port thus allowing me to select one input source on my Toshiba 1080p HDTV and perhaps being a solution? Before I go out and buy this I need some help from you smart folks. Thank you!

Thunderbolt to VGA works find, to HDMI no longer works

I have a late 2011 model Macbook Pro, running the latest Yosemite update. I can plug in my Thunderbolt to VGA adapter and everything works just fine. But when I plug in my Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, the display will not be detected. I've tried holding option to manually detect displays and nothing happens. The screen will flicker as if it senses another display has been connected. I don't know if this is due to Yosemite, for it worked just fine before the update.

Hi all,
I was having the same problem with Yosemite and thunderbolt to HDMI but have found a sort of a solution or at least a bit more info that might lead to someone having a eureka moment. I have a Mac Book Pro, my partner a Mac Book Air. I bought a thunderbolt to HDMI cable from eBay so my partner could plug her Air into the TV. When the cable arrived, it would not detect our LG TV from either computer. So a bit of playing around and this is what I found.
I plugged the cable from my Pro direct to the HDMI port on the TV and nothing.
I also tried from the Pro to the HDMI port on amplifier of the surround sound system and again nothing.
However, if I plug the cable from my PRO directly to the TV HDMI and select that HDMI port on the TV initially still nothing. But if I then plug a normal hdmi cable from my amp to the Mac Pro's HDMI port, suddenly the thunderbolt cable works and the Display Preferences see the LGTV. I checked that the correct hdmi port was selected for the direct connection and I could even turn off my amplifier to make sure that I was not seeing the wrong signal and it still worked.
It seems that there needs to be either a base signal or an earthing through the MacBook Pro's HDMI port for it to switch into an external monitor mode that will detect a thunderbolt to HDMI connection. This is fine for my Mac but as my partner's Air only has a thunderbolt port and no HDMI port it still doesn't work with her MAC.
Hopefully someone will see this and have a brainwave.

Acer 9500 projector hdmi no longer works

The other day I turned on my projector and it will no longer recognize any input through the 2 hdmi. I tried a different hdmi cord and another source but it still wont recognize anything. I sent it off to find out what is wrong and they told me it needs a new main board for $1100. Is that right? Is it not possible to fix the hdmi input without replacing the whole main board?

Rebelbac,
If the projector is not under the manufacturer's warranty you are at the mercy of whoever you sent it to. If you did not try with the Acer technical support in your area, you can try and see if they have any out of warranty options. The other option is to purchase the motherboard yourself and install it, the HDMI connections are part of it.

IPad 2 hdmi connector no longer works with iOS 7.3

Hi any one else had this issue? I have always connected my iPad 2 to my tv via a apple made hdmi connector, used mainly for fils on netflix eat. Since firmware updated to 7.3 this no longer works. Is this anther apple issue? My wife has an iPad 3, pre lightening and the "official" adapter has never works just get a message that states the attached accessory is not supported.... Any ideas anyone???

I have an ipad 2 running ios 6.0.1 and an older Dell TV (1080i) and have always been able to mirror. Running ios 5 the mirroring worked perfectly for sound and video. Don't remember if I tried while running 5.1. Now that I have 6.0.1, I can still mirror, but the whole screen is pink on this Dell TV. When I make the connection from ipad to the tv, mirroring starts immediately and the notification bar on the ipad home screen pulsates from blue to black and the cable is detected. I have sound and video working fine except for the colors. The ipad detects the AV Composite cable under settings>about but there is no TV out setting under General Settings where I'm supposed to see TV OUT listed under iTunes Wi-Fi sync. I have changed the hdmi to a new one, but it didn't help. I also have a new Panasonic Viera tv and everything (with the same cables) works perfectly on that TV. Leads me to believe it's an issue with the TV OUT function of the ipad. I don't know if any of this is helfpul information, but I thought it might help you narrow down what is going on with your setup.

HDMI port of Portege R830 no longer working

Hello,
I have a laptop Portege R830 model number PT320C-01J018 and the HDMI is no longer working.
I have checked the cable and the TV is new.
What can I do?
Regards, Kattie

I don't have information on that model because it's Canadian, and this is the site for Toshiba USA. You should contact Toshiba in your region.

HDMI mirroring no longer works on 10.8.4

Tried to watch a movie on the big screen (two, actually) tonight on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, but was surprised to learn this couldn't happen.
I've owned the computer for roughly eight months now, and HDMI mirroring always worked without a hitch. Prestine sound, sharp video, and no noticeable input lag. The two TVs I tried were a Sharp HDTV and a SONY HDTV, both under five years old. The HDMI cables and inputs were fine since the usual devices, two AT&T U-verse cable boxes and a PlayStation 3, worked fine.
This has gotten me worried sick that it might be my computer, and I know most repairs on the Retina machines aren't cheap. On the other hand, could it just be a bug in 10.8.4? I really hope it is the latter and there is a painless solution to this.

Try http://support.apple.com/kb/ph4405 (reset PRAM with CMD ALT P R on reboot) as that fixed the issued with my Matrox DS1 Thunderbolt Hub after the Thunderbolt Firmware Update to 1.2

Iphone 4 since upgrade to ios 5.1.1 no longer works with made for itunes, iphone devices.

Ever since I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1 my Iphone no longer works for playing music thorugh my Apline car unit, My Logic 3 clock radio, and a Next made for ipod device.
I can sync through ITunes on the PC and can also play videos through the HDMI adapter.   My wifes iphone 4s and the kids hand me down iphone 3s still play fine through these made for Itunes , Ipod , Iphone devices.
I want to downgrade back to the prior IOS I had before Apple encouraged me to install this bugged one.   How do I go about getting a legit non jailbroken prior IOS version installed on my Iphone?
Is Apple aware of this issue , as I have seen blogs about this it is affecting other people?   Will this issue be resolved with ios 6?
Can I get the beta ?
Thanks,
Douglas

Agreed. Same thing here. Just bought a late model Alpine INE-S920Hd and it is all kinds of broken. I think this is happening because Apple shifted the music and video. Totally buggy. Bluetooth refuses to work properly, too. A2dp keeps stealing the audio from Pandora in the Alpine interface. The ipod controls dont work at all.

HDMI output not working since firmware upgrade

I would appreciate troubleshooting tips for getting the HDMI output to work. I just tried it recently for the first time in a long while, approximately 4 weeks after doing the firmware update to 2.2. When I did it before, plugging in the HDMI cable would automatically start output to my HD TV. Now that is no longer the case. Changing the HDMI output from "Auto" to "720p" does not make a difference either.
Otherwise, everything works well and I've been satisfied with my Creative 7 to date. I have installed several apps so it could be that there is a conflict and nothing related to the firmware upgrade.
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.

Well I've received my refurbished device for about a week now. The HDMI still doesn't work either with Zii Video or a 3rd party app MoboPlayer. ?I am tempted to reinstall the firmware upgrade again. Is it ok to try this or is it only a one time attempt?
Perhaps this should be a separate thread but are any of the "Phone 2 SD" apps compatible with the Ziio 7? Whenever I use the "Move to SD card" option, there is still no program moved to the external SD card. ?I have a Ziio 7 with 6 GB of memory as well as a 6GB micro SD card. ?My memory settings are:
- SD Card: total space - 5.43GB; Available space - 5.43GB
- Device media storage: Total space - 2.48GB; Available Space - 2.3 GB
- System storage: Total Space - .97 GB; Available space - .59GB
In Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, the "On SD Card" tab lists several programs lists several apps but none of them are actually on the external SD card.

My mini dvi output port is no longer working (2007 iMac) please help!

My mini dvi output port is no longer working, can this be replaced or do I need a new motherboard? (it's a 2007 iMac, no longer under warrantee. Long story short when I was out of town someone cut my power cord on my tv I went to turn the tv on and looked at the back of the tv to see if there was any loose connections and found the cord sliced 3/4 of the way through. I must have bumped the cord and it sparked and made a loud pop noise. Well it fried the tv (which has since been fixed) but everything that was connected to it (my ps3, receiver, and my iMac) ports are all not working now... (and yes i did try new hdmi cables to see if it was just that) If this is a hardware issue what exactly is needed to fix this? A new main board? Any feedback would be great on this. I took it to apple and they said $650 to replace the motherboard... Was just wondering if this port can just be replaced or if it is a part of the main board and that does need replacing. Everything else works fine on all three things (ps3, receiver, imac) just the outputs are fried on them. Is there any other way I can do video out of my iMac other than mini dvi? I'm not paying for the repair so I don't mind having apple replace the board, but for $650... I may as well get a new iMac for $500 more...

If Apple said the motherboard is gone, that's your answer. Even if you were to find out the port isn't part of the main board, it's all connected when you're talking about a power surge/short as you described it. And yes, I'd never invest $650 in a 5 year old computer.

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

[SOLVED] Default audio device no longer works after reboot

After today's reboot, the audio device no longer works. E.g., VLC says:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such file or directory.
This is the console log:
[0x1394138] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

[0x7fac180069c8] main audio output error: no suitable audio output module
[0x7fac41055118] main decoder error: failed to create audio output
The strange thing is that the sound card does in fact work; e.g. the sound test for "HDA Intel PCH", the first entry in my KDE Audio Settings, works. But the entry "default" does not and I suppose that is also the device that VLC is complaining about.
I've tried blacklisting the HDMI driver and switched to the other audio output modules in VLC. I've also checked I'm still member of the "audio" group.
Edit:
P.S. Solved this myself. I had a USB-to-MIDI adapter cable plugged in during boot, which seems to have been causing these problems. I suppose systemd thought it was a USB sound card? I was wondering why dmesg said something about USB sound when the computer doesn't have any USB sound devices. Hardware detection epic fail. Although I guess the cable counts as a MIDI device at least, so in a way it's correct.
So it looks like I'll always have to unplug the MIDI cable before rebooting.

VGA cable no longer working with IOS8

VGA cable that I have (that used to always work), no longer works with ANY projector. Either get zero recognition or popup saying it "doesn't support that application". It is an Apple VGA cable. Thoughts? Thank you....

Other folks have reported problems with older cables when using 8.x. You can wait and see if apple eventually fixes or go to an apple store and buy a new cable. Got to get the latest firmware on the cable. You could buy apple tv or chromecast ( more difficult to configure ).
