HT1338 HDMI to tv

I want to stream home videos and photos from my macbook to my tv. Nothing shows up just the Apple default screen from when I first purchased my computer

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you want to say that, in your TV, you are only seeing the wallpaper what your computer came with, it's normal because the TV is working as an extended display. Just move the application you want to the right of your computer display, and you will see that it appears on your TV

If your Macbook has a Mini Display port and you want to connect it to an HDMI input on your TV you can use the Apple adapter available here;

HT1338 Trouble Using HDMI TV as a display through Thunderbolt adaptor

I have a 13 inch Late 2011 Macbook Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. I just purchased a Belkin Thunderbolt => HDMI adapter to use my HDMI TV as a Display. However, my TV is reading No Signal when I plug everything in. What can I do to trouble shoot this?
So far I have tried updating software, plugging in and turning on both the tv and computer in every way imaginable. I have gone to displays and clicked "Detect Displays" and searched for hours on google.
Here is a link to the adaptor I am using. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-Mini-DisplayPort-to-HDMI-Adapter/16685842#Produ ct+Reviews

PLEASE HELP TROUBLE SHOOT!
Thank you,

I had the same problem. I reset the PRAM and the SMC controller, then all was well. Google should provide instructions for resetting these.
NOTE: I did not think of this myself, I took it to the Apple Store where a Genius did the resets. Then I smacked my forehead, as I should have thought of this myself :-)

What model and year is your MacBook? Some older MacBooks don't support Audio out via miniport/HDMI (the display miniport is video only).

HT1338 About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters

When connecting mini display port adapter to tv does it have sound. I have a 2007 macbook 10.4.11 version. Please help thank you.

I doubt that early of one supports sound to HDMI, the iMacs of that vintage do not.
Are you sure it has a Mini Display port at all??? Or Mini DVI/Micro DVI?

HT1338 FCP-X 10.1.3 will not output HDMI video through Blackmagic Intensity Pro

I can not get HDMI video output through FCP-X 10.1.3. I tested the card and I get video through it to my HDMI monitor using Blackmagic Media Express, so I know the card, monitor, and cable are in perfect working condition. I have windows>AV output selected in FCP-X, but can not get a signal through. Has anyone else experienced this? Any answers out there? I think it is a bug, and a major one at that. I really need this for color grading and to properly view my actual clips.

I guess my system just did not like Wednesday. I started it all up today and it is working like a charm, just like it should. There is no reason it did not start yesterday as I had restarted my Mac Pro several times. We shall leave it as unknown computer glitch as nothing else fits! Did nothing different, don't know, but all is fine on Thursday morning.

HT1338 How to setup an external HDMI screen with a Mac Book Air

How do I setup an external HDMI screen with a Mac Book Air? I am using an Apple accessory Moshi cable interface with a Samsung Syncmaster screen SB24B300 and I am unable to get any response. Thank you.

You need to connect it to the computer using either USB or Thunderbolt. Setup is simply prepping the SSD:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.

HT1338 no sound through hdmi after sleep mode

I have no sound through the hdmi cable after mac mini wakes up after sleep mode but I do have sound when I resart my mac although Im unable to ajust the volume and the sound icon at the top bar is greyed out..system preferences says the selected device has no output controls for this device and the slider bar it also greyed out..

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

Mini DVI to Video Adapter - S-Video Resolutions / HDMI

Hello,
I just got my Mini DVI to Video Adapter and I using a S-Video cable to plug to my HD LCD 32'' TV.
When I connect everything, the resolution drops from 1280x800 to 1024x768.
How can I change back to 1280x800?
I don't know but I'm kind of disappointed with the QUALITY of the video... is there any way I could improve this? Perhaps using a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter? Does it exist? Will upgrade the resolution and/or the quality of the video?
I've read that audio is not supported using the Mini-DVI. To be honest, I don't really care about the audio... I can use the analog. But I'm very very disappointed with the quality of the video...
Thanks anyone

Well,
Based on what you said, I should have three options:
A: MacBook -> MiniDVI to DVI Adapter -> DVI to HDMI cable -> TV with HDMI input
C: MacBook -> MiniDVI to DVI Adapter -> DVI to DVI cable -> TV with DVI input
B: MacBook -> MiniDVI to HDMI Adapter -> HDMI cable -> TV with HDMI input
What should work best?
My TV does not support DVI input, so that's kind of narrow it down, right?! Leaving options A and C.
I don't have any of the adapters. In both ways I'll end up having to buy stuff. Which is less expansive?
Thanks in advance
Cheers.

HDMI Output not work on Encore Tablet

Hi guys,
First post and a new user of the Toshiba Encore.
Some background - I had a faulty Encore previously, but it would connect to my HDMI screen. The replacement, now 3 weeks old, works perfectly, except yesterday I tried HDMI out for sound (to an HDMI amplifier) but nothing. And then I decided to see if it would do HDMI out video - and nothing.
I plugged in the same cable that worked on the faulty tablet and to the same screen. I hit the devices charm and duplicated (and even tried extending) the screen. Nothing. I tried both HDMI ports on the screen. Nothing.
The last (faulty) tablet would make the sound that a new device was installed when I plugged HDMI in. This one makes no sounds. It's like the HDMI port isn't connected at all.
What advice would you give? I have downloaded all BIOS and Windows updates. I used the Intel update tool and everything is current. So what could I try to troubleshoot to get this to go?
Will happily provide more info if needed.
Cheers

This HDMI connection still does not work. It only shows on the TV not on both. I have spoken to Toshiba Software and they have a fix which are some special tools at a one off charge of £84. They say the problem is to do with the HDMI only sending at 30 Hz and the TV being at 60Hz. They also say the fix will provide mirroring as the resolution of the TV and Encore are not compatible. As I only paid £177 for Encore I am reluctant to pay such a high amount. They also advised that you must be connected with the mains adaptor because the battery is not powerful enough to sustain the signal. My laptop works fine and I have a new HDMI cable for Encore.
Any further thoughts?

How to connect my Satellite C650 to TV with HDMI cable?

Connecting my laptop with my television??
I have Satelite C650 laptop which isnt that old, but ive connected my laptop to the television using a HDMI cable and it isnt working.
The television is a samsung 1080p one, i would be grateful for some advice.
Many thanks
Claire

Hello Claire
I presume you use your notebook with original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook so it should work without problems.
Connect your notebook to the TV with HDMI cable. If your TV has several HDMI ports please enable right port on TV and after doing this use FN+F5 key combination to switch from notebook to the TV.
When you use FN+F5 key combination can you see several options including HDMI option?
