Mac Cube resolution setting for TV's

I'm trying to connect my Cube to my home TV to watch movies directly off of my Cube but seem to run into problems with the resolution setting on the TV.
My computer starts cycling on, but then suddenly goes black after a few minutes and I don't know why my desktop doesn't show up on my TV.
Any suggestions about why it is that my Cube desktop doesn't show up on my TV. I have a Sony Wega 42" TV.
Thanks,

well if this the first time connecting it up to the TV take your monitor out to the TV and connect both to the computer and then you will see the screen on the monitor and then go to you display prefs and click detect displays. and make sure you change it so the primary is the TV. after that you won't have to do that again. any time you connect the TV it will show up. you may not see the gray screen with the apple.
if that does not make sense tell me and i will try to clarify the steps.

  • What is the best display resolution setting for Macbook Pro retina display for photography?

    Display resolution settings are somewhat criptic. I want maximal resolution for editing photos. Which one should I choose?

    Not sure what you mean by "attachment" -
    The question was about a player/recorder, also known as a burner when used with a computer. Any burner will also function as a player with a computer (as in "read and write") - just attach the drive and insert a CD or DVD. iTunes will however, most likjely, attempt to immediately import the song - that is its default behavior. I have other audio software, so I can bypass iTunes as I don't care to use it. And this is what I am referring to:

  • Display resolution setting

    Somehow I changed the resolution setting for the display on my MacBook. Now I'm not sure what to set it. I currently have it on 1280 X 800, but I'm not sure that is right. Any help will be appreciated.

    I've been dealing with the same issue. I can tell you if you go into start, control panels, displays, settings and change the display to the next setting down - maybe 1280 x 769 (guessing) you will get a much crisper display. My question is how do you keep those setting so you don't have to reset the display each time you boot to XP???
    Good luck,
    Bill

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

    For starters, make sure to Check for Updates on any of the Help menus, and make sure the product has all the latest patches. MS did come out with a patch addressing the display issues on Retina Macs. Latest patchlevel is 14.3.2.
    We are talking about Office:Mac 2011, right?

  • Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality it takes like a whole day for a movie to download before we can watch it

    Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality as it can take a whole day to download a movie before we can watch it??

    The video/audio display settings should set automatically for the best your TV can handle (720p AppleTV2, 1080p AppleTV3).
    The download resolution for rentals or playback of purchases from the cloud is set in settings for iTunes store.
    Sounds as though you have slow internet.  For near instant streaming of video from iTunes store you need around:
    Standard Definition     2.5 Mbps
    720p HD                    6 Mbps
    1080p HD                  8 Mbps
    Any slower for a given quality setting and the movie has to buffer as it can't keep up in real time.  This might be a few minutes if close to the rated speed or many hours, even overnight.
    As pcd251s suggests you could test internet speed (speedtest.net on a computer for example).  If that is fine, sometimes the LAN if on wifi can be extremely slow in certain locations - ethernet connections would troubleshoot that.
    Slow internet is the common issue here.  AppleTV does not have permanent storage and using it to play other content or browse trailers while a rental is buffering can reset the buffering process.   In such cases you might be better off planning in advance, renting in iTunes, letting the whole thing FULLY download and it will then be available across teh LAN to stream from computer to AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library name>Rentals.

    i can't get icloud to sync my ipad notepad to my mac. it works fine for email and calendar?I have clicked the notepad setting on my iPad to ON.

    On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    On the iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect that box then restart your iMac.

  • Can I undo "Erase mac" setting for Stolen, but returned devices??

    Can I undo "Erase mac" setting for Stolen, but returned devices?? Laptop bag with MacBook Pro, iPad and Android Tablet were stolen at a tradeshow last week - so I found the ERASE setting thru iCloud - NOW the devices are all FOUND and being shipped back to me. (HORRAY!!) But, is there a way to UNDO the Erase setting that I clicked on? 

    Hello there, sunny_and72.
    Great news on finding your lost devices! That has got to be a major relief. The following Knowledge Base article offers the possible ways of restoring your data onto your devices after an erase has been performed:
    iCloud: Erase your device
    If you erase then find your iOS device, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see iCloud storage and backup overview, or the Safety, Handling & Support section of the iOS 8 user guide for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If your device has iOS 7 or earlier, get the user guide from the Apple Support website. 
    If you erase then find your Mac, you can restore the information on the Mac using a Time Machine backup. For more information, see the Apple Support article Recover your entire system. If you set an EFI firmware password on your Mac before it was lost, then erase it and later find it, you may need to take your Mac to an authorized repair center to unlock it before you can use it again.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
