HDTV Not Recognizing Mac?

I bought a Mini DP to VGA cable to connect my MacBook to my Samsung HDTV. My MacBook recognized the new display but it my TV would remain black. Why is my HDTV not recognizing my MacBook?

*"Is there any way around this?"*

  • IPhone 3G is not recognized by iTunes installed on MAC PRO

    I have attempted to connect iTunes after Mac Pro system restore with iPhone 3G, but iTunes does not recognize any connection from iPhone. When I plug iPhone into my MacBook Pro iTunes immediately recognizes iPhone and begins sync process. I restored iPhone software while on MacBook Pro, but did not sync MacBook Pro iTunes. With factory settings restored, I attempted to sync iPhone with Mac Pro iTunes and again iPhone was not recognized by iTunes iPhone connected via USB. Any suggestions?

    Please help.

    Is this music purchased back in DRM days? I don't actually have any iTunes music so I can't test with my iTunes 7.5, but I know that without iTunes 10 you cannot even connect to the store anymore.  I wouldn't think that would require an active connection to the store all the time, otherwise how could you play music on a computer in the middle of nowhere?  Did you do something to trigger iTunes suddenly wanting to connect and check on machine authorization?

  • Monitor not recognized by Mac anymore?????

    Hi
    This is big and what is APPLE doing to solve this issue??
    I just copy some posts from the forum to show how big this issue is, there is 8 more pages with the same problem, and i am one of them!!!!
    HELP!!!! WE ARE FREAKING OUT HERE AND NEED A SOLUTION!!!
    Yes, me. I have an HP w2207 who worked with my 3 y.o. old MacBook (OS 10.4.??) via the DVI-port flawlessly. Then bought a brandnew MacBook Pro with 10.6.X and the external monitor stopped being recognized. It works now that I have changed the connection to the VGA-port of the monitor (and bought yet another adapter for the MacBook Pro) but the quality is not what I'm used to.

    Yes. I've tried 7 different Macs including a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and my external monitor doesn't work with it either.
    For me here's a recap:
    Installed SL on a Mac Pro connected to a 23" Cinema via DVI and Olevia 537 via HDMI Input #1 and now that input no longer works with Mac computers.
    Reinstalled 10.5.8 on the Mac Pro and HDMI #1 still didn't work, so I plugged the Mac into HDMI #2 and it worked.
    Reinstalled SL on the Mac Pro connected to a 23" Cinema via DVI and Olevia 537 via HDMI Input #2 and now that input no longer works with Mac computers.
    Since then, every device (PCs, DVD Players, Video Cameras, etc...) I connect to either of the HDMI inputs work fine. However, neither HDMI input works with ANY of the 7 different Macs (regardless of OS version) I've tried, except for a 10-year-old G4 running Panther or Tiger.
    The monitor had previously worked with the MacPro (HDMI input #1) and a G5 (HDMI input #2) for almost 2 years.
    When I plug the MacPro into any other monitor via HDMI, it works fine. Same thing with the G5.
    My theory is still that the installer for Snow Leopard somehow made my monitor's HDMI inputs incompatible with Macs. I'm so frustrated that I'm ready to buy a new monitor, but since there's no guarantee that a new monitor won't be adversely affected by Snow Leopard, I'm still dubious.

    Another "me too" post...
    Not sure exactly when it stopped working (since I don't use it every day) but my Viewsonic VX2455wm stopped working with my MacBook recently too. Checked with another MacBook (six months newer than my Late 2006 model) and that exhibited the same problem. Both machines have fully patched Snow Leopard installs. Both started with Tiger. Mine is regularly connected to the external monitor, the other has never been connected. I'm connecting using a DVI cable and a mini-DVI-DVI adapter.
    The monitor appears to work correctly. I've checked with a Windows laptop connected on the VGA port. I want to test with another DVI-enabled machine to see whether or not its the cable.

    Hi Guys
    I have the same problem with my new Dell 2209WAf. It worked fine before i changed from L to SL.
    I didn't know what happened so i have spend hours and hours to resolve the problem.
    Hours with Mac support and friends didn't change anything, i still cant make my Dell to work, or show up in preferences. I am working as a photographer and this issue is a real problem.
    I just heard from Mac Support that Apple is working on it.....well, doesn't help us with the problem today.
    So Apple, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! NOW! this problem should NEVER showed up, this is something you should have fixed before telling all the Macers to upgrade!!!

    Experiencing the same issues. However, on bit different hardware.
    I'm using the XLR8 ProView USB input devices. Using these devices on a mixture of 10.5.8 and 10.6.2 systems (2 MacBooks, 2 Mac Mini and 1 iMac).
    I can confirm the following:
    When attempting to mirror video, or extend the desktop, using a mini-DVI to S-Video/Composite device on OSX 10.6.2 no video is sent to the mini-DVI device (inputing into the XLR8).
    When attempting to mirror video, or extend the desktop, using a mini-DVI to S-Video/Composite device on OSX 10.5.8 video is sent to the mini-DVI device (inputing into the XLR8).
    Let me also state, that the mini-DVI port on the Mac Mini's do work. They have been connected to 19" monitors and working without issue. Today, the mini-DVI devices were replaced with minidisplay port devices, which are use in conjunction with the mini-DVI ports.
    It would appear, in my case, that the problem is that the mini-DVI port on both the MacBook and Mac Mini, running 10.6.2, as a secondary display device is not operating properly.

    Same problems here. I reloaded OS 10.4.6 which is what shipped with my MBP1,2 17" 2.16 Intel Core Duo 2GB ram and after installing that, i was able to select 1920x1080 for my external HP w2338h, DVI-VGA, never been able to connect DVI-HDMI. On SL, the max rez I was able to "use" was 1600x1200 which looked horrible. So this leads me to suspect that this must be an issue with SL.
    I spoke with Apple Tech support on Sat and was no help. The only suggestion was that I take my MBP and Monitor to the Apple Store. Those of you who are fortunate enough to live in Chicago in the winter, then you know that option really isn't that feasible, it is but just a giant pain.

    I have an iMac 9,1 Intel Core 2 Duo that I bought last June. It came with Leopard, but I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Currently, it's running 10.6.2. My HP w2207 Widescreen monitor works perfectly with it using the DVI port on the HP and the mini-display (not mini-DVI) port on the iMac.
    However, I just bought the top-of-the-line iMac 11,1 Intel Core i5 QuadCore three days ago and it crashes nearly every time that it wakes from "sleep" when the HP w2207 is connected to it. It doesn't even recognize that the w2207 is connected to it. Additionally, when the w2207 is connected, it (a) looks terrible - very dim and very granular, and (b) causes the iMac QuadCore to operate very sluggishly. When I disconnect the HP w2207, the iMac QuadCore is lightning-fast.
    Much like my older iMac, the QuadCore is running 10.6.2 and I'm using the mini-display port.

    Another me too post. I have a new 17" MacBook Pro with 10.6.2 installed. Trying to connect to an HPL2245wg - sometimes it works flawlessly - other times not at all. Some mornings I spend 30 -40 minutes rebooting, unplugging and plugging the monitor, Detecting Displays, changing the Graphics Card (Energy settings) - all to no avail. Very, very frustrating Apple - please figure out what is going on with this issue....and get it fixed!

    Wow, me too. Did a minor software update (apple released it) last night, got on this morning and BANG - my main 24" Dell display is NOT working.
    This is ******, apple have surely f**ked up here. It's never had a hitch, ever, since i bought it 9 months ago.
    We are all reporting the same thing - software update, and then no working external display...

    I seem to have found a fix for myself. I was having terrible issues with the screen blinking and flickering constantly. I tried to reset the SMC with everything unplugged and the computer would not reboot at that point on it's own which led me eventually to reinstalling SL.
    Reinstalling SL is quite painless actually as it installs on top of your profile. After reinstalling I ran software update which installs the cumulative upgrades. Now I usually don't have any problems but must follow the instructions to run in clamshell mode to the letter.
    After a week of running in clamshell mode I started having an issue with the dock not lining up so I put the computer to sleep, disconnected the monitor and restarted with nothing connected. After that, followed the clamshell mode instructions again and have been working fine again all week.
    I've also disabled my screen-saver, and deleted the windowserver preferences as part of my debug process but not sure if that has contributed to my new found stability.

    Me too. I have a MacBook Pro 2,2 running the latest Snow Leopard 10.6.2. After I have installed yesterday's security patch it does not recognize external displays on the DVI port any longer. Tried it with a 23" DELL at the office and a 23" Samsung at home. Both have worked without any problems for years.
    I am curious to learn how this behavior is related to security...

  • IPod Help needed from serious Apple gurus - iPod Touch 2g 16g stuck in restart loop. Will NOT enter DFU or recovery mode, NOT recognized by iTunes on Windows or Mac

    Ok, so here's the not so sad story. I bought an iPod Touch 2g 16g through Ebay - so forget warranties. Luckily I did not pay much. The description said it was stuck on the apple logo, so I figured it would be an easy put into recovery mode and restore problem.
    Not so much.
    If you plug the iPod in and charge up the battery the LCD will come to life after a while with the apple logo, then it displays the spinning wheel with the apple logo over it. That will last anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes, then the iPod will go blank for a few secs and then start up the cycle all over again.
    As stated, this iPod will NOT enter either DFU or recovery mode and believe me I've tried it several times several different ways with different timings, connected via USB to a Mac, connected to a different Mac running Windows, and connected to just the charger. Nothing. Occasionally the screen might go blank while holding the power and home buttons but nothing else happens and then it starts it's usual cycle again.
    Again, iPod NOT recognized by iTunes on either Mac or Windows side. Since I got off Ebay and seller didn't know much about it, I have no idea if someone tried to jailbreak this or not.
    I will not put much money into this machine. So I guess my question is: does this behavior mean that the motherboard is clearly fried? Are there any software programs that might diagnose what the problem is? Could it be as simple as a fried battery?
    And most importantly, is this iPod simply toast or is there anything anyone can suggest????
    Really any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated. Seems a shame to just trash an iPod touch that might need a simple fix...
    If it helps matters, I can tinker with iPods somewhat and have torn down and replaced several iPod touch 1g and 2g glass and digitizers with no problems. I'm somewhat software savvy but the whole jailbreak thing is new territory... and I can't really figure out the command in Windows or Mac terminals to list all connected devices so I have no idea if the computer even knows the iPod is there, even if iTunes doesn't. Guess that's it... ummm, please help???

    Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

  • IPod classic not recognized by mac or itunes.... but otherwise works fine.

    I'm wondering if there is any way I can save my music. I had to reformat my macbook due to corruption of whole disk encryption. My only copy of my music library was on the iPod itself. I was able to restore about 2/3 of my collection from the iPod to the mac. However, at one point the computer became nonresponsive while the iPod was mounted. Had to force a reboot. The iPod was not recognized after that. I connect it to my mac, it says "connected", but iTunes doesnt recognize this, and it doesnt appear on the desktop.
    It works fine. All the music and movies, etc., are there, as well as other data I stored on it (which I also want to get back) (judging from free space indicator), but I can't mount it.
    I've done everything traditionally recommended.
    -Five Rs, numerous times
    -Tried with different macs, 10.5.8, 10.6.1, different cables
    -Started iPod in disk mode
    -Ran all the diagnostics, they're all fine
    -Played with iTunes helper
    -Reinstalled iTunes
    -Tried on completely different macintosh, same problem
    For some reason this thing really doesnt want to mount, but when I use the iPod it's clear all the data is right there on it.
    Will I have to bust open the iPod and take out the hard drive, and mount it in another enclosure to get my data back? That's the only thing I can think of at this point. Any other ideas?
    Thanks-

  • IPod Shuffle not recognized on Mac or PC - Help!

    So a freind of mine asked me to fix his iPod shuffle. He tried to fix it himself by plugging it into his Windoze PC and formatting it like a hard drive. I explained to him that it probably wasn't a great idea but at any rate, here we are.
    I have access to a Mac Mini, and a PC both with the latest version of iTunes and the iPod Updater.
    When I plug the iPod shuffle into either the Mac or the PC, it does not show up at all. It does show up in the Device manager of Windows as a Disk Drive but it's not accessible. It proceeds to peg the CPU at 100% and thoroughly bog down the PC. When I plug it into the Mac Mini, and run the iPod Updater, it tells me to "Plug in an iPod to update it." Problem is, the iPod is plugged in. This happens both on Windows and PC when I run the iPod updater.
    Does anybody have any idea on what I should do to fix the iPod? I must admit, I've only had the Mac Mini for 1 day and my previous experience with the Mac OS was OS 8.6 on a 6400 so be nice :P.
    Thanks in advance,
    ...tom

    Hi,

    plz somebody help me what should i do now.
    [email protected]

    it sounds like a fualty installation of Lion, this may happen from time to time.
    The best thing to do in this situation is to reinstall Lion. You will not loose anything doing this, but you should always keep back ups of your information.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
    basically hold Cmd+R on boot..
    first go to disk utility, verify and repair your disks and permissions. Exit out of Disk utility and then go directly to "reinstall Lion"
    choose that and let it reinstall.
    Adobe CS6 does need Java to run.
    To play your movies you might need to get an application called VLC. VLC is a free app and will play most videos and music files you throw into it.

  • 3rd generation iPod Touch not recognized by Mac & iTunes!

    My 3rd generation ipod touch is not recognized on iTunes but is recognized when I plug it into a different computer. I've tried reinstalling iTunes numerous times and have referred to other online tutorials. With no success, my iPod will still not show up on my Macbook, and I've never experienced a problem like this before with either device. My mac and itunes still recognize my iPhone so I don't know why they would recognize one device but no the other. Solutions?
    Any feedback will help greatly. Thanks.

    It should work fine.  I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
    If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.

    This shuffle should just work on my Mac with no issues! Not happy, not happy at all. 

    After a trip to the Apple and over two hours with three different Apple speciaists, not luck in resolving this issue. The 4th Gen shuffle is not recognized. The Apple Store confirms that the Shuffle is fine and works on their Macs in the store.
    Steps taken so far...
    Removed iTunes and re-installed twice, did not resolve the issue.
    Removed Symantec Norton Security Suite.
    Performed an Archive Install of Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard
    Ran various disk utilities, still than same.  The Apple Disk utilitiy continuely shows errors on the shuffle.
    Tried the shuffle on my wifes new 27" iMac, the same thing happens on her Mac.
    Multiple restores through iTunes, no luck.
