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"- 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.

Macbook pro looses login settings with thunderbolt display

I've noticed that on occasion my MacBook Pro looses its desktop settings when connected to a Thunderbolt display. Why Thunderbolt display discards my MacBook Pro window environment settings upon boot-up is unknown to me. I can tell when this happens when my desktop loads different backgrounds from those on my MacBook Pro. Furthermore, the option in the System Preferences for changing my desktop background will cease to function. I even notice system wide speed degradation.
In order to correct this and reload my MacBook Pro settings I must identify a specific file named “com.apple.loginwindow.plist” and delete it. Doing so resolves whatever existing conflict so that Thunderbolt displays the correct background and enables System Preferrences to work properly.
I would appreciate very much if anyone has a resolution for this problem.
Respectfully,

I think you need to do a search of the of these forums to see if there is an answer. I saw a lot of suggestions, but the #1 solution is buying a brand new cable. I have personal experience with that. My son recently switched from an HP to a MacBook Pro. The HDMI cable worked perfectly with the HP. It didn't with the Mac. He got a new cable for the Mac, everything resolved itself.
I have heard all kinds of speculation on it, but it happens frequently enough that there must be something going on. I'd spend $30 on a new MiniDisplayPort to DVI connector or whatever you use.

Macbook pro A1286拔掉hdmi后没有声音

macbook pro A1286连接HDMI看电视，拔掉HDMI线之后，mac没有了声音。
系统偏好设置->声音->里面只有“数码输出_光数码输出端口”这个选项，怎么重启都没声音，连接耳机有声音，拔掉耳机mac还是没声音。
macbook pro A1286 HDMI connection to watch TV, then unplug the HDMI cable, mac no sound.
System Preferences -> Sound -> there is only the "digital output _ optical digital output port" option, how to restart no sound, connect to headphones with sound, unplug headphones mac still no sound.

Your Macbook Pro will not support sound vis HDMI. You will have to tap the audio output port and connect to the TV audio inputs for sound. You will need a 3.5 mm plug in a 'Y' connector configuration with RCA connectors on the other end.

HT202730 Macbook Pro Optical Audio Output Toggles On/Off

My Macbook Pro optical audio output seems to switch off with a loud click when sound is not playing for a few seconds.
Then, when sound resumes, there's a delay as it switches back on.
Is there a way to stop this toggling?
And please don't tell me to check the connections.
I've already tried different sample sizes and bit rates to no avail. It seems as if the system is switching something when there is no audio being played, then switching it on again. Even if the playback is only on pause.

You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?

Hi folks,
I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)

Macbook pro via HDMI to panasonic ae2000 projector not working.

Hi
Last night I tried to connect my mid 2009 macbook pro to my panasonic ae2000 projector.
I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter lead.
The macbook pro display would flicker when hdmi plugged in but the projector would not come up as a display device. (in display preferences) So I could not output signal too it.
I have used used same lead to connect to a philips tv without problem via hdmi.
Any ideas ?
thanks

Hi
I think its aprox 8 meters. (10 M max)
Its the same cable I use from my normal panasonic dvd/bluray player to the projector.
Except of course I unplugged player to plug in mac, (have used cable again without problem.)
Interesting thought though.
Not sure I have a 2 meter cable (projector on ceiling) to see if I can plug that from mac to projector.

Yosemite is messing with my new Retina Macbook Pro's sound output, help.

I just got my new Retina Macbook Pro 2 months ago and have been noticing some audio output issues. When I try to connect an external third-party audio device to run my KRK monitors my computer does not recognize the device and will not switch the audio output. After trying to set it manually my macbook won't even revert to the internal speakers for output and then I have to reboot my pro in order to get audio output again. This will happen randomly throughout the day after my computer has been in sleep as well, and sometimes the volume buttons get greyed out as well. Please help me with this issue as this is a new computer and it is becoming a nuisance. Even when connecting through HDMI, my audio output does not function and no sound will come out of the TV. I realize that this is probably a Yosemite glitch, but I just need to know if there is any fixes for this issue. Thanks so much for your time,

Macbook Pro and 24p output

Hi,
I've got a 2008 macbook pro with a geforce 8600M GT connected to my Panasonic 37lzd85f via HDMI to DVI cable. The screen supports 24p so the only thing i need to chance is the 24p output on the macbook.
is there any possibility to set the output to 24p?
thanks in advance

Hi mawxi,
I have the same problem and i resurged the topic nearly two weeks now. For me it's important to play video native 24p and audio with SPDIF 5.1
My way:
1.) OSX: There is only the way to buy the software "switchresX". I found no other way to change the frequency to 24Hz. If tested it and it worked.
--> If anyone know more please share the information with us!
2.) Vista: I used bootcamp to install Vista. After installing all vista updates, i downloaded the nvidia driver "nvidia 8900M GT" from the nvidia homepage. It worked and there i can choose the 24Hz.
Now i searched the audio driver and the Wifi driver. (Normally those drivers should be included at the OSX disc but not at my one) I found them here:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx
Yes! You have to use the internet Explorer, but here you find all you need.
search: "Broadcom 802" for Wifi and "Realtek" for audio, sort the list by Date.
Well, now i can use my 2000€ MacBook Pro to watch 24p movies with 5.1 sound on my fullhd beamer and 7.1 yamaha receiver.

Mid 2010 and newer MacBooks Pro can transfer audio over Mini DisplayPort, so you will get your audio transferred to your TV or projector. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Macbook Pro Retina, HDMI Sound issues

When I connect my macbook pro retina to my SONY TV via HDMI the picture works but I can't get any sound. I went into the sound settings and selected SONY but it tells me the select a device has no output controls.

This happened to me the other day, with an LG TV. Although it's not en eegent solution, I found that unplugging the HDMI, turning the sound up on the laptop, then plugging it in again worked. Until Apple releases a fix for the OS, that's the only thing I've found to work.

MacBook Pro DVI-HDMI 1080p doesn't work correctly

Hello,
I've just bought new Samsung LCD TV LE40B550. This TV is Full HD and support 1080p. I've connected it via DVI (macbook pro) -> HDMI (TV) cable. It works ok, when I set 1080i. But when I set up 1080p, it shows few dots (pixels) on TV not correctly. The picture is not that good as 1080i. Shouldn't it be reversely? The 1080p should be 1080i, shouldn't be?

You probably want to post this in the MacBook Pro forum:

My w2207h HP Monitor is not working on my macbook pro with hdmi minidisplayport adapter. On Windows 7 via bootcamp it works. What can i do ?

As is said my HP w2207h monitor is not working with a minidisplayport to hdmi adapter and a hdmi cable which is working fine for my PS3. So the cable is not the problem. And on my TV i also have no problems at all activating a second monitor. Therefore the adapter isnt the problem either. When i plug it in the typical bluescreen appears. Then after a few seconds it appears again and there is no second monitor recognized. I also used the "recognize Monitor" button without success. Please help me, are there any special drivers or something like that ?
PS: bought a high end expensive adapter now because the old one was very cheap. But didnt help. Still stuck on the macbook not recognizing anything !

If you have an external drive you can hook up to the MacBook Pro I believe there *may* be a solution by getting an image to the MacBook Air.
On the MacBook Pro with the Windows install disk in the DVD drive fire up disk utility. Select the DVD and then hit the "New Image" button. Disk Utility should offer to create a disk image from the DVD. I would put that disk image on a USB drive connected to the Pro. You should be able to mount that image when you connect up to the Air. Hopefully BootCamp will be able to access that all through the process.
If that doesn't work (the drivers don't recognize the disk image once Windows gets underway for its install), you might try copying the installation files from the DVD to FAT32 formatted USB stick or drive and then using that to install Windows. I would expect Windows would be able to see the USB FAT32 drive and I don't believe any file on the drive is going to go beyond 4GB.
I haven't actually tried BootCamp on the Air, since I just use VMWare which has no issue installing from anything OSX can see. But BootCamp is going to eventually hand off operations to Windows and that's going to complicate matters--Windows has to be able to see the drive. While I believe there are drivers that let Windows connect to that drive, there's no way to authenticate (or even load the drivers I expect) before Windows itself is loaded--so it's a "chicken/egg" problem.
