Macbook air hdmi connection problem

I cannot get my macbook air to connect to my tv via an hdmi cable. I suspected my cable until my neighbor had the same issue. Have others experienced this and is there a solution?

I have had this same problem. Has the wifi worked before? What I did was I turned my wifi off, then I restarted my computer, then I turned my wifi back on. If that doesnt work, leave the wifi off, and shut it down for a while. Hope I could help!

  • Macbook air wifi connection problem?

    Hello Apple Communities
    So i recently pre-ordered a custom built 13inch macbook air, and i am just wondering
    if theres still any issues with the wifi connection. I living in Australia by the way.
    Thanks!

    I don't know that 802.11 ac is the clear answer - but - if you have broadband access that is likely to support ac (not all is/can) in my opinion it would be wise to look to the future and buy an ac supporting router. Certainly those with older routers have more problems, and updating firmware (when possible) seem to cure some.
    Some claim dissabling Bluetooth was their unhappy solution.
    Certainly part of the "fix" for some appears to be to use 5Ghz and g/n settings as opposed to 2Ghz and a/b.
    For others new hardware (returning/exchanging the device) was a solution.
    There are moderators (who will quickly correct - or remove) this reply if I've made any false or misleading statements.

  • MacBook Air Display connection problem

    Hi,I recently got a MacBook Air (late 2010) used 9my dad gave it to me ).
    When I shut the computer's display it sometimes doesn't illuminate when I wake it I tried entering the password even though I can't see.
    And then i can vaguely make out my desktop or the apps.I recently discovered that by moving the whole computer it would illuminarte again i'm thinking that there is a loose connection between the screen and the motherboard.
    I'M RUNNING OSX 10.7.2 AND EVERYTHING IS UP TO DATE I'M VERY PICKY ABOUT THAT IF MORE INFO IS NEEDED JUST ASK.
    I would appreciate any response,
    -Georges
    P.S: I'm a hacker so i will understand any thechnical stuff, and i'm 12.

  • MacBook Pro - HDMI Connection Problems

    I have connection my MacBook Pro to my TV with a HDMI cable. My docking station is now on my TV which isnt a problem but is when I unplug the HDMI cable to find that my docking station is not at the bottom of my laptop screen where it usually is. I've had a look around system preferences but cant seem to find anything. Anyone got any ideas??

    Thanks, but it doesn't work. Deleted both the files, emptied the trash, restarted and nothing. NO SIGNAL.
    I'm thinking that maybe there's something wrong with the tv. I remember when first trying to connect the DVI cable that there were some sparkles around the DVI. Maybe something got burned inside the tv.

  • New Macbook Air - wifi connectivity problems

    Well some of you got the problem solved, but for me who has purchased my first apple device besides an Ipad, this is ridiculous.
    It has been more than a month and have received 3 updates, 1st was seed update , then the new version and then a software update.
    What is ironical is that none of the updates fixed the issue. The internet doesnot connect whenever you wake up your MBA after the 3rd update, earlier it used to just drop in between. Now have started seeing the browser in a Hung mode. The page would not load at all. The only way one can make the thing work is to restart it.
    I would definitely want some permanent fix to see my hard earned money not just going down the drain in an Apple.

    Why all these questions about routers and so on?
    Apple is delivering a defective product, no more no less! The fault is with some ( or all?) 2013 MBAs and Apple is really not handling this in a way that can be expected.

  • I have a BTHub4 - My iMac, iPhone, and children's iPads all connect to the internet no problem. I cannot get my 2 MacBook Pros or my partners MacBook Air to connect. Have tried diagnostics - says to change DNS but  it is correct.

    I have a BTHub4 - My iMac, iPhone, and children's iPads all connect to the internet no problem. I cannot get my 2 MacBook Pros or my partners MacBook Air to connect. Have tried diagnostics - says to change DNS but  it is correct. I have re-set both router and all laptops - no joy. They can all see the network but cannot connect.

    This is extraordinary. I have moved the router and also tried resetting it to its factory strings.  We have had this router for over a year and all our devices have always worked. Now all four laptops will not connect to the internet. Only one oMac and our phones and iPad.
    I have had far more devices running at once before but now all laptops are timing out on connection. Some say this iIP address is already being used but if I manually set to a slightly different IP address it does not help, noir if I manually set to the correct IP address. Why would all our laptops (four) suddenly be unable to connect?

  • Macbook air HDMI

    Bought new macbook air and connected hdmi cable to thunderbolt port. Firstly, blue screen appears, but after 1-2 seconds screen comes back and nothing changes.Can't find how to connect tv to new macbook air. Any recommendations ?
    Thanks beforehand.

    price is somewhere between 6-15$. Buy the correct one, you have the mini-hdmi connector I suppose (otherwise you would not be able to enter it in the thunderbolt port), so you need thunderbolt to mini-hdmi.

  • MacBook Air never connects directly to WiFi.

    MacBook Air never connects directly to preferred or any other networks but WiFi will have to be switched off and back on to connect. What to do? Any known bugs or resolution? Running OSX 10.9.3 with latest updates on MacBook Air from mid 2013, i5.

  • How to turn off screen on Macbook Air when connected to Computer LeD monitor?

    How to turn off screen on Macbook Air when connected to Led monitor screen?

    The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.

  • Macbook Air wont connect to HDTV

    I use a MiniDisplay to VGA connector when I use my macbook air to connect to a monitor. My macbook is detecting its there, is there a certain setting on a TV that I would need to switch

    That depends on the TV. You'll have to research its instruction manual.

    Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
    I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Macbook air Shut down problem

    Hi everyone,
    I used to have the shut down problem with my Macbook air. I have an 11" Later 2011 Macbook air.
    The problem did not go away after updating to Mountain lion.
    I just realized that although I was closing all programs, I was not ejecting my 3G modem/dongle.
    Once I ejected it before commanding it to shut down, it did shut down properly.
    I thought I should share it with you. May be there is a program that has not been closed or a devise that has not been unplugged/ejected properly and is restricting the shut down.
    It worked for me. Hope it will work for you.
    Enjoy your Mac.
