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.

Why does the Retina Screen on MBPR2013 make a Weird Flash when I have a External Display via HDMI hooked up?

I just bought a new 2013 early MACBOOK PRO RETINA. When i have an external Display hooked up via the HDMI port, I noitce when I wake the computer UP it has a Different type OF QUICK FLASH that comes up than when there is nothing hooked up so I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, but its very disturbing to me, it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the HDMI PORT ????? Has anyone else experienced this or knows if this is NORMAL behavior of the new RETINA displays or the HDMI port makes it FLASH weird upon WAKE UP??? I have unplugged the HDMI and when I do the SCREEN comes up normally it just blinks on. But when HDMI is used its light lightening stike. Don't know how else to explain it, maybe i need to do a video and Post a video.

One more disturbing thing. When the screen on my MBP goes black and I check the system preferences for "Displays", the MacBook Pro display is not presented as an existing display. Only the still-functioning Apple 20" Cinema Display.
Where did it go??

Second IPS display via hdmi not displaying 2560x1440. Why?

I know the graphic card hardware in my 2013 i7 mac mini support hi-res hdmi because people are running Windows 7 on their mini's with dual 2560x1440 ips displays. I read that this would be resolved in Mavericks but I can't seem to get above the 1080p resolution. What am I missing? Do I need to reset something? Was I better off sticking with my old 2009 mac mini with the mini display and thunderbolt port?
Thanks
Andre

I've received several different answer regarding your reply. The monitor tech support person stated that the hdmi port on the display is 1.3b which will support that resolution. So either both of the hdmi cable that I tried sucked or the support person lied and or OSX is limiting the hdmi port.
I guess I'll just purchase a Startech USB32DPPRO adapter since I can't get the answer I want.
I hate that Apple took away the second mini/thunderbolt port.
Thanks for your assistance.

Mac mini display is flicking via HDMI to DVI adapter and DVI cable

i have received mac mini server (mid 2011) recently. mac mini is connecting the display via HDMI port using DVI cable with a HDMI to DVI adapter.
the display shows constant flicking. white dots/lines show randomly. it is like those signal noise when watching analog TV.
the same display works fine and well with macbook pro (early 2008) via DVI port.
please help. please advise.

So you know the display is working.
It seems to me you have a few possible problems.
1 HDMI-DVI cable is bad
2 DVI-cable is bad
3 Connections between cables or computer or monitor are bad.
4 HDMI port on the computer is bad.
I assume you've tried #3, and re-connected cables and wiggled inputs. So then try replacing 1 and then replacing 2 which are cheaper fixes than replacing/fixing 4.........
FYI, I'm connect my mac mini using the same setup you describe, with no issues....also inspect the cable ends carefully to look for any problems.

What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

Hello Alex,
It sounds like you are getting excessive CPU usage when connecting an external display via HDMI to your computer. I would try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

MBP 13 Retina unsharp picture/fonts by connection via HDMI?

Hi everybody!
I've connected my Samsung S24B350H display via HDMI to my MacBook Pro 13 Retina.
I'm not happy about what I can see after the connection. All fonts, shadings actually seems to be unsharp.
Before I bought the MacBook, the display quality looks great with a Windows PC (same cable).
Meanwhile I tested 3 different cables and a further display (my tv).
What can I do? Should I try to connect the display via a 'Thunderbolt to HDMI' cable?
(I know that I'll never reach the retina quality on my external display, but there is a better quality possible (e.g. the same display by using a Windows machine).)
Regards
Daniel
Ps. I'm using OS X 10.8.2

Regarding your 'surround sound' issue, look at this discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4450049?start=0&tstart=0
I do not have a retina MBP, so start a new discussion regarding your graphics issue. It is simplest to have one issue at a time on these forums. Your interests will then be best served.
Ciao.

HDTV won't display as mirror or extra display via mini-dvi to HDMI

Hi
I have a MacBook running 10.5.7 connected to a 1080P-capable Toshishba TV (model 42XV555). I also tried this with 10.5.6 with same results.
They are connected via a "shuttlez" mini-dvi to hdmi dongle and then via a "wegi" hdmi to hmdi cable.
The TV has three HDMI inputs, one designated for computer input via HDMI with a separate input for analogue sound.
THE MB recognizes the TV and displays a separate Toshiba-specific control panel with display control panel is up. It defaults to 1600x90 and 60Hz. The Macbook adjusts every time the tv is connected - there is communication - flashing screen, MB screen re-adjusts.
S-video works fine, via mini-dvi to s-video donglr, then svideo cable.
It has worked twice with the MB and connected with HDMI - just twice. I have spent hour after hour tweaking resolutions, re-booting, changing cables, HDMI ports on the TV etc! When it worked I could mirror and use the screen as a separate, larger display. It worked in clam-shell mode too.
My question is - are there any know problems getting this combination to work (ie MB, mini-dvi to HDMI)? It can work but I am missing some knowledge on the exact combination required.
What are the optimum settings to have this TV display HD from the MB, or come to that any HD 1080p-capable TV??

I'm attempting to connect my MB to a plasma 50 inch Panasonic TV, and am about to purchase the necessary cables from www.monoprice.com.
I've discovered so far that the HDMI connection directly between the MB and the TV (using the appropriate mini DVI adapter of course - product # 4852 at monochrome.com and an Apple HDMI cable which I'll return to get a better price at monochrome) transmits only video/pictures but not audio.
So far, an old, short RCA (red/white) 2-way audio test cable (again using the appropriate adapter to connect to the headphone jack on the MB) does not transmit audio directly to the TV.
1) Could audio be transmitted from the MB to the TV using a "Coax (RCA) to Optical Toslink Digital Audio Converter" (product ID # 2947 at www.monochrome.com) to connect directly to the TV (in which case, what digital audio cable would I need to connect the converter to the TV)? And if so, would it be stereo or mono?
OR...
2) Should I wait until I get my Onkyo surround sound system (later this week) to see if the RCA cable will transmit directly from the MB to the sound system?
Thanks.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

how do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable. The TV says "no signal. I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system preferences. what else do I need to do?

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

How can I use my TV as a display for FaceTime and the camera of my MacBook when connecting it to the TV via HDMI?

I can connect my MacBook to my TV via HDMI and when I FaceTime everything works normally except I would like the display for the MacBook to be turned off so I can see video only on my TV. Closing the lid is not an option since I am using the MacBook's camera to FaceTime. Is there any way to achieve this?

Shivneet wrote: ... I would like the display for the MacBook to be turned off so I can see video only on my TV. ... Is there any way to achieve this?
Not that I could find.
The easiest workaround that I could find is a trimmed piece of Black Construction Paper taped over the Mac's display.
Alternatively, you could use an external Mac Compatible Web Cameras and then close the lid, but that is a higher cost option.

No sound via mini display to HDMI connector

Hi all,
I have the i7 8G ram version of the X1 Carbon (UK version) and love it. The only issue I have with it is in relation to the mini display port. I use a lot of HDMI equipment so immediately bought the mini display to HDMI connector from Grifin, see http://store.griffintechnology.com/video-display-converter but whilst video exports fine no sound is being output via the HDMI cable and end up sound via the X1 speakers which are great for personal use but useless in a large room full of people.
I already contacted Griffin support and they quickly referred me to Lenovo.
All help much appreciated.
Ben
Solved!
Go to Solution.

BenEadir,
When you have a video or sound file playing, go to Control Panel, Sounds, Manage Audio Devices.
Then when you are in Manage Audio Devices, you will se a list of devices and the external device/TV your mini display port is connected to as one of the options. Just choose the one you want and set it as your default audio device and the sound should automatically go to the selected device.
Let me know if this works for you.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

Connection between mediabox receiver to the Cinema display via a HDMI

Iwould like to connect a swiss Cablecom mediabox receiver to the Cinema display via a HDMI to MiniDisplayPort converter like the Belkin AV 360. The receiver output is 720p or 1080i. Anyone has successfully utilized this device?

I suspect it won't work due to HDCP. Blame the movie and music industry.

MacMini (2011) problem with Thunderbolt display if 2nd monitor is connected via HDMI/DVI adapter

Hi,
iam running a MacMini (2011) 2.3GHz i5 with Mac OS X 10.7.4 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 256 GB Samsung SSD.
If i connect a Thunderbolt display only - all is fine.
But if i connect a 2nd monitor ( Samsung S23A700) via HDMI / DVI adapter (original Apple) the major screen (Thunderbolt Display) sometimes
is going black and immidiately back to normal. It looks like that it happens very often if i scroll down with the Apple Magic Mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

I have exactly the same problem. MacMini Server i7 (mid 2011) Macmini5.3.16Gb ram.
Mini and Thunderbolt no blink-outs.
Mini and Thunderbolt and Dell 23" connected to HDMI-DVI connector, the Thunderbolt display blinks out when system is under stress as in the Develop module of Lightroom 4.
I thought it was a problem with my Thunderbolt display, and since its on a VESA mount, I didn't really want to haul in in to the Apple Store. I decided to be sure it was the dosplay...
I borrowed a MacbookPro i7 and ran it from a clone of my Mini. No problems aster hours of use. (But with only ONE monitor.) That suggested that there was no problem with the Thunderbolt Display.
I decided to run the Mini with only one display. Again no problems. I plugged in the Second monitor to the HDMI port and within 2 minutes I had my first "Blink-Out".
I ran the rest of the day without the second monitor with no problems.
I conclude the mini will not work reliably with two monitors if one is a Thunderbolt.
I was using two Dell Monitors before I got the Thunderbolt Diskplay (for 3 months) without incident.
