Insignia 32 inch 1080p LCD NS-32L450A11, computer hook up to tv not working

I hope someone here can help. I purchased this tv over a week ago and just picked up a vga cable to hook up my computer to it. My computer is a HP Pavilion a6300f and was purchased back in 2008. So it only has a DVI and VGA hookup, and I'm using the DVI for my monitor. I followed the directions in the manual to the letter, and made sure that the cables were screwed in tight, and the TV was not detecting the VGA hook up. And I've tried to do some searching for this problem, but no luck so far. If someone can help I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You must use the Function keys on the HP computer to extend the desktop to the TV.  The TV must be on and connected when the computer boots.  Use the appropriate Function key combo to cycle through the various desktop modes...You'll be able to clone your desktop to the TV, extend your desktop to the TV, or make the TV your primary video monitor.

    It may be that it is stuck loading. You will want to probably first attempt a Hard Reset (Home Button + Power Button for 5-10s until it restarts with an Apple Logo then let it load up) and see if this will get it working.

  • I was using my Macbook when it suddenly shut down, I was updating a program so I had the charger on even though there was still 90 percent of power in the computer. I tried to turn on the computer several times but is not working, what can I do?

    I was using my Macbook when it suddently shut down, I was updating the operating system so I had the charger on even though there was still 90 percent of energy. I tried to turn my Mac several times but it doesn`t turn on, also the green light of the charger is not working, it`s looks like the charger is dead too. What`s wrong with my Mac?

    Try resetting the SMC.
    MacBook and MacBook Pro with a battery you can remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer
    To reset the SMC on newer Mac portables with a battery you cannot remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.  
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Computer Shutting Down and Magsafe not working?

    Hey guys my computer is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) and i have had Magsafe issues with it since 6 months after i bought it. I had it sent in to apple and they said that they had replaced the magsafe within the computer (i am assuming that they replaced the magsafe board). Recently my computer has not been recognizing any connection when the magsafe is plugged in. No lights and the battery will not charge. It takes several tries +20 to get it to recognize the magsafe and start charging. The adapter is NOT the problem and neither is the battery. I have also already performed a System Management Controller reset (SMC) as the symptoms seemed to follow this common problem. This has not fixed it. Now my computer is shutting down randomly (it seems to do this when under light to medium cpu load or when moving) however, this is hard to tell as it has only happened three times. The computer only seems to shut down when the magsafe is connected and recognized (either red or green light). When it shuts down i can hear the HDD needle "park" rather abruptly/loud as an audible CLICK can be heard. Upon reboot, the computer will again refuse to recognize that the magsafe is plugged in. Again, no lights on the magsafe connector, and the battery will not charge. This issue could brick my macbook unless i fix it soon. Please any help??? I really hope that nothing is wrong with the logicboard as they can run upwards of $600 to replace. PLEASE HELP MEH!!!
    Some additional background: I had sent in my macbook to apple 3 times already through futureshop while under warranty. The problem was that the magsafe only seemed to work while plugged in with the cord running away from the user. They sent it back twice while only swapping chargers... of which i knew there was no issue with. The same magsafe problem was there. The third time is when they finally swapped out the magsafe in the computer. My one year warranty is now over and it has been about 8 months since i got my computer back since being repaired last time. I have no applecare warranty. Is there any way that this could be fixed under warranty??? Is there some kind of apple replacement warranty if something has been sent in so many times with the same problem??? Thanks and sorry for so much writing...

    Hi there
    I just posted a quite similar issue today.
    My solution was to simply run Disc utility and see whether it finds any problems/errors. It did find an error and after booting to Recovery partition and running Disc utility from there, I let it repair the volume.
    Until now, no more random crashes on moving.
    Hope this helps you too

  • Computed Items in Pivot table not working...

    One urgent help please….
    We have a pivot table where we have a measure label: Period name, & the measure is COST..
    The P-table shows Cost for selected (Prior & Current period) (we have 2 presentation variables for the same curr & prior).
    We need to have a computed ITEM in the Pivot which will be DELTA, Cost for Current Period – Cost for Prior Periods & should be shown on the same row.
    I tried adding a Computed ITEM in the measure label but I am unable to give the formula.
    ‘@{curr}’ - ‘@{prior}’
    but this doesn’t work as its not shown on the display…
    Please try giving me some hint….
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Remember that NULL + x is NULL.
    Use NVL (or COALESCE) to treat missing values as 0 when adding them. Do something like this in the main query:
    select  a.*
    ,      NVL (still_contacting, 0)
          + NVL (dud,            0)
          + NVL (no_curr_opp,      0)

  • Moving PS to a new computer. Serial number does not work.

    Moved PS to a new computer. Get the following error message when i try to enter serial number, "Serial Number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer".

    There should be an option to go to another screen where you enter the serial # from a qualifying previous version. So if you are installing CS6 you would need to enter the serial # from your older CS5 or maybe CS4. Same goes if you are installing CS5. You would need the serial # from CS4 or CS3.
    Hopefully you still have the boxes from those older versions and or you recorded the serial # for them if you bought the Downloaded version.
    If not then it is time to Upgrade to the subscription based PS CC or buy a Full version of CS6.

  • Itunes,other computer,burned cd,this comp, not working...

    i have a cd i burned with itunes songs just before buying a laptop which i put on that computer, buti didnt know who to get the songsinto itunes(being it wont rip mp3 cds)so now i have another computer (dell xps 400) and i managed to get 231 of 441 songs onto the new one(231 being the ones i ripped from cds i had) but the others i dont have the cds any more so how do i get those onto this new computer

    Not really sure what you are trying to do.
    You have some songs on a CD but others you do not?
    - Network the computers together.
    - Burn another CD with the rest of the music and transfer it.
    Insert the CD with the MP3s and iTunes -> Add to library.
    being it wont rip mp3 cds)
    You don't RIP an MP3 CD. You simply add or copy to the computer/iTunes. You can only RIP an audio CD.

  • Scanning PDF to computer after installing windows 10 not working

    Equipment: Pavilion 23 and HP Officejet 6600 (all in one) After installing Windows 10 the printer/scanner can not send (scan to computer) a PDF.  The HP 6600 screen DOES show the computer under the "Scan to" list then once pressed it briefly says "accessing computer" with the HP logo and a spinning thing around it, then the next screen shows a list of options for document format (PDF is the first one and the one I regularly used before Windows 10).  Choosing "Save as PDF" brings up a "Confirm Start Scan" screen, pressing "Start Scan" brings up "Prepairing to scan" with the HP logo and spinning thingy again then the next screen, "Scan Unsuccessful" and below that "The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues - Connection to the computer is lost - The scan application on the computer is currently in use - OCR application is not installed on the computer - See the computer monitor for details"  no details are on the monitor? I have tried the solutions listed here like S**/scannow (DOS ADMIN level,  100% ok) ,  also the "dependent settings" I know this is a Windows 10 issue because it (the HP 6600) has worked flawlessly until this "Upgrade".  Yes, I uninstalled the driver, yes I downloaded HP docotor, I have tried everyting on this forum and then some (i think?)please helpthank you for your wisdom OH great one(s) Other than this A huge thumbs up to Windows 10!!!! Nice work guys/gals over at Microsoft!! 

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you cannot scan with your HP Officejet 6600 after upgrading to Windows 10. I am happy to help!  To verify the printer's hardware is working properly, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original in Order (Collating). In the meantime, please try the steps in this guide, A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays When Scanning for HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Printer Series (H711), and follow the steps for Windows 8, as they will work on Windows 10.  Hope this guide helps, and hope to hear from you soon!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • Authorize this computer to play iTunes songs not working so well

    I've downloaded a few of the "Free" songs from the iTunes Store and later when I go to listen to them I get a window to log in and authorize my computer to play the song. Problem is, I am logged in. And even if I log in again, I then get a message that says my computer is already authorized.
    Now the fun part. Sometimes after I log in again the song will start playing. Other times, no luck.
    I have tried restarting the computer and iTunes and neither seems to improve the problem. I also recently updated iTunes to version 8.0.1.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    TJ

    Several users have reported this issue since the release of iTunes 8. Some are able to sort out the problem temporarily by restarting iTunes, or by restarting the computer. I'd suggest the section of this document regarding removing the SC Info folder:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    Beyond that, it doesn't hurt to report the issue to iTunes Store customer service:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
    Chef_206,
    I think you might be experiencing something different, which is actually more or less expected behavior of iTunes. In your iTunes program, click your Store menu at the top and choose View my Account. Enter your account info, and when you get to the Apple Account Info page you should see a button that says "Deauthorize All." Click this button, which deauthorizes all computers (whether they be 5 tangible machines, or one machine taking up several authorizations) and then go back and see if you can authorize your desired computer(s).
