I'd like to wake up with blue teeth (DVI to HDMI closed, sleeping Macbook)

Ok, not really.
What I would like is for the closed, sleeping MacBook Pro I have hooked to the HDMI port of my Visio HD TV via a DVI to HDMI cable to wake up when I tap the spacebar of the bluetooth keyboard I have paired with it. The same Macbook Pro wakes up fine when hooked to a DVI monitor from a closed, sleeping state.
More Info: I've hooked an extra MacBook Pro I have to my TV so I can watch IP TV content. I have a dream of sitting on my couch with a tiny Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and waking up my closed sleeping MBP so I can watch 'It Takes A Thief' but I still have to steal over to the TV stand and... (I know, this is brutal)... OPEN the MacBook Pro before I get a dose of Alexander Mundy.
Why would regular BT wakeup work with a DVI monitor, but not with the DVI to HDMI cable? Is there an adapter I could put outboard that will fool the DVI port into stirring from sweet slumber?

Do you have the MBP plugged into its power adapter? That's the only way it will work with the lid down.

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

    My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

    The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be for FREE!

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. It was working fine now I cant get it to output to the Tv. Any ideas?

    My Macbook pro no longer outputs to my vizio led tv. It was working fine now I cant get any picture. It just says no signal. It is not the hdmi or the adapter because it works fine with my other tv. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks. BTW--I am using the mini dvi to hdmi adapter in case that was unclear.

    Since you say that the same connectors work on your other TV is suggests that the fault is not in the connectors but your Vizio TV.  I would check the settings on the Vizio TV.  Verify that is is set to receive HDMI input.  Perhaps you or some one else has inadvertently changed them.  Pressing the wrong buttons on a remote control device can do that.  (I am assuming no changes were made in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS)

  • No sound on TV with mini DVI to HDMI cable.  Macbook, white, 2008-9 13"

    Picture is fine, mirroring turned on, using mini dvi converter into HDMI on a new Samsung flat screen.  Want to avoid using additional cable from earhone plug to RCA plug in TV.  Thanks

    Thanks for the prompt reply;  it saved me going through 16,000 permutations for nought.  BTW, although it seemed to be working well yesterday, today the computer is failing to load new sites, etc. when the DIVI is plugged in, and proceeds fine when unplugged.  Also, when I plug in the DVI, the screen image on the computer and tv flickers between black and then blue screens before the image stabilizes.  My TV and internet are both on Comcast cable, if that makes a difference.  Thanks for you help;  I wish the folks who sold lme the cable knew as much.  Also, no one seemed to know that you have to turn on the "mirroring" function for it to work at all.

  • Problem wake up with radio

    Hi, I'm trying to use my ipod like a alarm clock. I'd like to wake up with radio... but at the right time the ipod wake but don't start the radio....
    Any suggestion?

    See this:
    It makes no mention of being able to wake up to an alarm via the radio/remote, only a song from a playlist or the 'beep' sound.
    And even if you could wake up to radio, since it plugs into the dock connector at the bottom of the iPod, that means no other accessories can use that connector (such as a powered speaker dock), so in order to hear a radio alarm you would need to wear your headphones all night.

    Hi Air.sam, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that situations like this can be very frustrating. There are some very good troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation however. Please use the attached article and troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the situation. 
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Regards, 
    Joe

  • Macbook Air 2012 now wakes up with delay

    I got a new Macbook Air 13" in July. 2 weeks later I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Since then the login screen wakes up with a delay of a few seconds from sleep. Even though the login screen displays promptly, the keyboard does not respond ... then there is a screen flicker and then only I can type the password.
    This is defintely a bug - any idea how to resolve this?

    It is either your CD or your Superdrive (you never said explicitly, but sounds like you are using an external USB superdrive).
    Have your tried installing CD/DVD sharing on another computer (if that is an option) and trying the install DVD from that computer (and using remote install)? This may rule out the DVDs themselves. If you do this remember:
    1) You will have to connect to wireless or wired network when holding down the option key during MBA boot,
    2) You will need to run the "remote install MacOS X" application that you have installed on computer with remote DVD drive,
    3) The entire process will take a VERY LONG TIME (including the startup on the installer).

  • IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

    hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
    I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
    help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

    It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

  • Satellite L650 - frequent computer restart with blue screen

    Hi, I bought an L650 about 2months ago so it is still under warranty.
    Recently (maybe last 2 weeks) it has continued to shut down with blue screen of death. It seemed to occur more if I opened up many tabs in internet and i thought it might be adobe flash but don't think so anymore.
    It says if there is new hardware or software installed try reinstall it but I do not know which software and there is no new hardware.
    "a problem has been detected and windows has been shyt down to protect your computer

    Somthing like above although its quick video on my camera so some numbers may be wrong.
    Can someone help if this is a hardware malfunction or my fault somehow?
    Is this a warranty problem or what should I do?
    I never made any windows CD or anything when I bought laptop unfortunately so do not know if I can reformat harddrive?
    Thanks.

    Hello
    It is worst than at the beginning with STOP: 0x000000F4 error message. It is always problematic to help with such problems because your notebook configuration, preinstalled software and activity is not known to us.
    In my opinion you should back-up all your important data, install OS again using HDD recovery option and test functionality with original OS without any additional software installation.
    If the BSOD will occur again and again I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help. I have two Toshiba notebooks and until now I didnt notice BSOD at all.

    Hi jkjuarez2012,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
    Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

  • When i try to print in black and white, my picture is flooded with blue ink

    hi! I made sure all the printing settings were correct. I did a clean of the heads and made sure the inks were all full. I set the printer to print six by four inches and used hp advanced photo paper. I set the print to grey scale, as there is no settings for black and white.
     when the picture came through, it started grey scale and further down the picture was flooded with blue ink. I have a all in one printer fax C309 series. can anyone help me please?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    This seems like the printhead may have a problem. Lets go to printing preferences for the printer(these may already be set this way if so let us know). In this window on the left column of printing shortcuts lets choose Fast/Economical and set Print in Grayscale on the right to "Black ink only". If your setting was set to high quality try printing again. If you were already set to "Black ink only" under the Grayscale option the printer may require servicing.
    You can say thanks by clicking the Kudos Star in my post. If my post resolves your problem, please mark it as Accepted Solution so others can benefit too.

    Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

    Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks.  If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?!  I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped.  Have any clue what I should do now?
