I can't get a picture on my toshiba tv when I connect it to my Mac Book Pro using an HMDI cable

In 2010, we bought a MacBook Pro 7.1.  We also bought an HDMI cable that connects directly to the MBP’s mini display port and to the HDMI port in the TV.  The TV is a Toshiba. We made the connections and selected the correct ports and got nothing on the TV, except a “no signal” message. The Display window on the MBP recognized the Toshiba TV. We tried the same hookup with a different TV (Phillips) and we got video (no sound) on the TV with the same mini display port to HDMI cable. We borrowed a mini display port to VGA adapter with a VGA cable. The adapter also had a separate audio cable that connected to the TV’s audio port. That worked.  We got both video and audio on the Toshiba (but the video was not HD). We connected my Kindle Fire HD to the Toshiba using an HDMI cable, and that worked.  We got both video and audio on the Toshiba. So, we proved: - the mini display port works  - I can get video from it to the Toshiba with a VGA adapter - the mini display port to HDMI cable works – I got video through it from the MBP to the Phillips - the HDMI port on the Toshiba works – I got video / sound from the Kindle and its HDMI cable What do I do to get video from the MBP to the Toshiba using the HDMI cable I have?

Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?-----------------------> 
Read the tv user manual.  I have a Toshiba which has detailed instructions for tv to comp hookup.  If necessary call Toshiba.  Especially, if you are still under warranty w/them.

  • I am trying to upgrade my hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far, just before cloning may start and receive an "error 254" and can go no further.  Any idea what this error is?

    I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254".  Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive?  Thanks for your input.
    Vince

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

  • I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?

    I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?
    The firewire port reads the dj software and I can hear music playing through the sound card when I plug my headphones into it but there is no signal to the hardware (my dj mixer).
    I have reset the firewire by turning off my mac book pro for a few hours and can see the sound card device in the fire wire section after clicking on the apple icon on the top left corner of my mac.
    My dj mixer works on another mac computer with the same soundcard and different firewire cable.
    Hope someone can help
    Thanks

    kmiddlet88,
    yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

  • How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

    How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

    Do you have a SD slot? If not you get a USB to SD memory card adpater at the computer/office/online store and use that.
    It appears as a drive on your machine and you can use Export from iPhoto or drag and drop methods too.
    Make sure you backup

  • My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone?  I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

    Hello, does anyone know if I can upgrade from OS X v10.6.8 straight to Mountain Lion on a Mac Book Pro? Thanks

    Yes.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Snow Leopard General requirements
      1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
      2. 1GB of memory
      3. 5GB of available disk space

    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  • Can mac book pros use mini dvd-r's?

    I have a mac pro and was wondering if It is able to burn mini dvd-r's?any info would be helpfull. please email me at [email protected]

    Welcome to the Forums!
    *NOT in the internal optical drive.* The mini discs will get stuck and possibly damage the drive. If you need to burn them, you need to get an external (tray-loading) optical drive. There are many that are Mac-compatible.
    Hope this helps...
    FYI, don't expect too many of us to email you directly - you need to check back in your post(s) for answers from other users.
    Also FYI, you may want to correct your profile - you have either a MacBook Pro or a Mac Pro. The Mac Pro is Apple's line of desktop computers, MacBook Pros are notebooks. Since you state 17", and you're posting in the MBP forum, I would assume you have a MacBook Pro.

  • How can you import pictures from the iphoto app to your mac book pro into iphoto on a mac book pro using mavericks?

    I've tried to look this up on the app, and it tells me to use the iTunes file sharing and I can see anything with this trying to use both. I'm trying to keep my pictures in chronological order. Does in know how I can use this? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

    OK. This is two separate issues. To import pictures on your iPhone into your MBP, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture app (in the Applications folder).
    To use iPhoto, connect your iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable & launch iPhoto. Your iPhone will be listed it in the "Devices" panel on the left. Choose it & you will get a window where you can import all or selected photos as either "split events" or as a single event. If you need help with this, try opening iPhoto's built-in help & selecting the "Import Photos" item. That will open the Import photos from iPhone or other mobile phone help topic. Expand the Import photos from iPhone section & study it. It should answer all your questions about this better than I can!
    To use the Image Capture app, you connect the iPhone & select it just like above. The app has several options for importing images, but what you may find useful if you do not want to import directly into iPhoto is that you can just drag any of the iPhone's displayed items onto the desktop or into a folder like you would any other file & they will be copied to that location.
    As for organization of items in iPhoto, there are four ways they can be grouped for display (by event, by photo, by face, & by place). All except by faces offers a "By date" sort choice in the iPhoto View > Sort Photos menu item.
