Macbook Pro 13"- HDMI output does not display 1920x1080

Hi
When I connect my Macbook Pro 13" to my Samsung 46" TV using the Apple HDMI to HDMI cable
The Macbook detects the TV but doesn't give me the option to change the resolution to 1920x1080
I have tried 1080p and 1080i but these does give me the correct setting either
Has anybody any ideas?

Apple doesn't "do" 1920x1080 with non-Apple Studio monitors. It's bait & switch, a fraud, immoral, unacceptable. A Mac lover & evangilist for 20 years, I'm now likely to never buy another. I bought a new Asus monitor today, just to discover my MacBook Pro won't talk to it because Apple made their computer compatible with only overpriced Apple Studio monitors, not the leading brands.
Here's that post, pasted. The answer's the same for VGA and DVI.
Mac Pro :: Mini Display Port Not Working At Resolutions Over 1600X1200?
Problem:
Apple Mini Display Port does NOT work at resolutions over 1600X1200 on NON Apple Cinema Displays.
That means if you own any other brand of monitor such as NEC, Lacie, etc. you will NOT get native resolution on your 24 inch monitor as it is stuck at a maximum resolution of 1600X1200.
This story was mentioned on "Macbreak Weekly" show 4-14-2009. I have since checked with a few people and it would indeed seem to be true at this point.
I REALLY hope a solution from Apple comes soon and this is not some new policy of theirs. If so, it may be the last Mac Pro I will or can ever own. The reason is I do a lot of 3D work with C4D, Vue, Modo and Photoshop CS4 so I MUST have a monitor like the high-end ones from Lacie that have 100% color gamut and Adobe RGB. I can NOT be tied down to an Apple Cinema display due to that work. At this time, it seems this means I would only get 1600X1200 resolution on that 24 inch monitor.
I am HIGHLY concerned by this. Has anyone else confirmed this too and if so what the heck is Apple thinking or better still going to do about it? I LOVE my Mac Pro but if they start forcing Apple displays on us then I won't be buying another Mac, it's just that simple.

I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
10. Reset the NVRAM.
11. Reset the SMC.
12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Call Apple Support and schedule a appointment for a hardware check, or take it into a Apple Store.

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

MACBOOK PRO - NO SIGNAL OUTPUT TO EXTERNAL DISPLAYS

When connecting any external monitor I have an intermittent issue where it does send the signal to the external display - yet it shows the display's preferences in the Control Panel. Had an embarrassing moment at a presentation with an LCD projector. Have used severalo DVI adaptors. Any ideas? It works sometimes, sometimes it does not. When it works I cannot close the lid either without it turning off everything, which used to work fine.
Any ideas?

It's too bad you never received any help on this in the Forums, but was hoping you may have come across a solution in the last 2 years.
I am not a techie, so my explanation will be crude, but sounds exactly like your issue above. It's October 2013...I have a 2008 MacBook Pro. Everyone tells me I can use the miniport to connect to my 2010 LG TV. I purchased a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter from RadioShack (Gigaware brand). I plugged the adaptor into my minport, plugged the HDMI cord into the adaptor, and plugged the other end of the HDMI cord into the LG TV (44"). In my display preference, the MacBook recognizes the TV. However, there is virtually no picture...
I get extreme fuzz/snow with colored pixels, with the background display flickering on every 30-45 seconds behind the fuzz (i.e. very grainy). On one occassion, the display showed up perfectly for a nanosecond and went back to fuzz. Common sense is telling me that the image is trying to be sent to the TV but the signal is not strong enough? Or, the encoding is not fast enough?
Tried the following:
Grabbed another HDMI cord in case it was the originally cord - no dice.
Tried all 4 HDMI inputs on the TV - no dice.
Myriad other non-technical things like moving the MBP around, jiggering with connections, etc. Nothing.
For purposes of meeting my needs, I ended up downloading the latest Apple TV software and ended up displaying my presentation via Airplay from my iPad. But that solution drops a lot of the key attributes of my presentation (slide builds don't work, certain graphics missing, color is off, etc). It worked sufficiently, but I was hoping for a more solid presentation solution.
Thanks for listening!

15" Macbook Pro right front side does not sit flat on the table.

My 15" stock mbp's right front side doesn't sit on the table flat when the screen is lifted up. This is at the front corner of the optical drive. The bumper does not sit level. I have put it on the piece of glass just to make sure. It sits fine closed, but un-even when opened. Maybe the hinge is over torqued causing it to rise? I just got this from the apple store as a replacement for my first that had a bad screen 2 days ago. It's annoying for a 2000.00 dollar machine to have this issue. I took it back and they said it's in spec and that they will not let me do an exchange. Another one of their floor display MBP's had the same issue. The genius said he saw the issue but he would not to an exchange. There are two other apple stores in my area, is it worth a shot? This new second week of January build has a way better screen than the second week of December build. The coating on the screen is somewhat less and it has a better viewing angle. Other than the above issue, the laptop is fine. Is there any fix for this issue? I have read other people having the same problem. I frustrated because as a longtime apple supporter, I can't get get one out of the box that's right. Any help would be appreciated.
Chris

Thanks for the response. I went to the second Apple store and got the same response. It's a millimeter out off. He said that it was in spec. He said it's not perfect but it's not enough to get a replacement. So I may be over doing it here but I feel for a 2000.00 dollar machine, this should not be. It's small defect in the manufacturing process but it is one, none the less. Apple should take a zero manufacturing defect policy if a customer asks for a replacement machine. I think if it's not done right, than it should be fixed or replaced. Hey, I'll probably add some plastic to the foot that's off or I may open the thing up and bend it back to being perfect and fix this small defect but I think Apple should replace it. I have heard other having this problem and I have seen macbook pros in the store with this issue and they say it is within spec. I'll fix the issue that should have never left the factory myself. Anyway, I'll try adding more rubber to the foot.

Macbook pro loose HDMI output

Hello!
The MB HDMI output feels loose. When the cable is connected to the output it feels really "wiggly". Is this normal? Does anybody notice a loose feel or is it completely tight?
Thank You

I think this is problem on all MacBook Pros. I have the same issue on my brand new 2013 Mac Pro as well.

Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2013) does not connect to Wifi

Hi,
I just bought a new macbook pro 3 days back. It was working fine till it suddenly dropped connection to the home WiFi. Since then it shows a list of wifi options including the one that i was connected to but does not connect to it. The error message says that the computer cannot connect to the wifi. and asks me to run diagnostics
I have done the following
Run Diagnostic
Switched the wifi off and on
Restarted Mac
Deleted the network from the preferred list and tried to join again
Tried to manually enter the details of the wifi
Switched the router and modem off and on again
Any help would be really appreciated. It's just been 3 days with the mac and I wasn't expecting this.
regards,
ss

Does this connect to other WiFi networks?
As for the problematic WiFi network, see if  > System Preferences > Network > select the WiFi network in the left column > Assist Me... and see if the Assistant and the Diagnostics options can provide any insight into the connectivity problem.
Failing that, take the MacBook Pro back into the folks at the Apple Store and have them take a look at it, and see if it'll connect to the WiFi network there.

Macbook pro 13" from 2010 does not turn on.

Hello, I own a Macbook Pro 13" bought on 2010. I was using it last night and everything was working correctly. This morning it just does not turn on. I can hear the fan and the HD light but 3-4 seconda later it just restart and it goes this way all the time. This model does not have removable battery and I hace already tried to reset SMC. The battery is charging (magsafe light is orange). Should I take it to the store? Many thanks in advance!

This happened to me as well. I was installing a CPU-intensive piece of software and closed my macbook to let it do its work. A few hours later I opened up my macbook and it had shut down. Pressing the start button did nothing. I am from the school of PC and I have never encountered a laptop that could be damaged by malfunctioning software. I agree that it is a ripoff and seems like a way for Apple to make more money off of customers by forcing us to buy AppleCare (I know I'll probably have to do it now that I know my macbook is an unreliable piece of crap). A PC laptop will shut down if it overheats or reaches some other kind of threshold where going further will damage the hardware. Some kind of fail-safe mechanism was always built into my Dell and Asus PC laptops. I am shocked that it does not exist for Apple.
What a disappointment. While I love the user-friendliness of the OS X interface it will be the last time I buy a mac machine. Shutting down for a day and refusing to turn on because it didn't like some malfunctioning software or that it overheated itself (a PC simply shuts down and will turn on again once it's cool) looks like a scam to me and when I need to use my laptop for both school and work this lack of reliability is unacceptable.
I am never buying a mac again.

My MacBook Pro pwers up but does not get past the the Apple logo.

I have a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. It powers up but does not get past the Apple logo. The hardware test did not reveal any problems. It will also not get any further when I try to start up in Safe Mode. The last thing I was trying to do was connect to it from my desktop which I have done before. Any ideas.

I was able to get into the Repair utility and resolved some Permissions problems. It verified the disk and found no problems. However, it did not resolve the issue. I was also not able to get into Safe Mode.
