Macbook Pro Mini Display Port To HDMI Not Connecting To Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR9 And Any HDMI TV's In My House

I have a Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) and recently purchased a mini DVI to HDMI cable. I was using it perfectly fine on my LG TV for a while but than one day I plugged it in and it just stopped working. The Macbook Pro screen would flash blue for a few seconds than return to normal as if nothing was plugged in. I tried detect displays and everything and it sill does not work. I tried it on 4 HDMI inputs on TV's in my house and none of them are working. Does anyone have any idea on what's wrong? I didn't change the settings at all. Just plugged it in than it stopped working. Anyone know whats wrong?

Hi 1,
You are far from the first to experience this issue. An SMC Reset may resolve some video issues, although this scenario is not listed; still, I would try it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Mid-2010 macbook pro mini display port to hdmi works only intermittently

    I have a 13-inch mid-2010 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.2.  HDMI out from mini displayport to my Dynex TV only intermittently works.  The times that I have gotten it to work involves a combination of restarting the computer, unplugging the TV and plugging it back in, then plugging in the MDP adapter.  Now when I plug it in, the MacBook screen flashes black like it is trying to detect the external display, but no picture on the TV.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Here is the console log output when I plug in the adapter:

  • I am trying to install a brand new WD 500 gb sata internal hd in my macbook pro. the original install dvd does not recognise the hd. all hardware is ok. any help?

    I am trying to install a brand new WD 500 gb sata internal hd in my macbook pro. the original install dvd does not recognise the hd. all hardware is ok. any help?

    For some reason OS X disks (whatever edition or flavors) that are supplied with Apple products only seem to contain a limited knowledge of available hard drives on the market at the time of thier publishing. This (rather opportunistically) creates a "Best Before" stale-OS X-software-copy situation where upgrading to or replacing a defective internal SATA hard drive with a newer, better or larger one is a largely hit and miss affair.
    If you buy the latest and greatest disk drive available for any older Mac you are likely to run into unresolvable problems making a clean re-install of your own, old edition or flavor of OS X onto any newer or larger hard drive since the OEM (gray) "OS X Install Disks" that Apple supply with retail products seem to contain only time-sensitive lists/mapings of then-known target drives that the Drive Management Tool in the then-published old "Installer Software" will support.
    Presumably new (colorful "X") retail versions of OS X (10.whatever.whatever) also contain time-limited Installers with limited knowledge of and adaptability to/compatability with a limited number of old hard drives then kicking-around on the market.
    This is especially a problem nowadays since the countless "puny old" hard drives that have been on the market are largely obsolete in a few months time, as manufacturers continue to produce larger and cheaper units, discontinuing older puny products... So if your drive fails you need an exact old (or similar familial) replacement drive for your "backup copy of OS X" to do a fresh, clean OS X re-install. Otherwise you need to purchase a new retail version of OS X, since yours is now effectively obsolete. Purchasing an old, puny drive to re-install your version.flavor of OS X to avoid buying a new version of OS X is a rather false economy.
    If you still have a working old hard drive with your old polluted 10.version.flavor of OS X still working on it you apparently must clone it with Time Machine or the newest version of Disk Utility (disk image copying) to most newer, larger drives, and a clean reinstall to such new hard drives is not possible.

  • Mini display port to vga not detected

    Hi,
    Can't put the mini displayport to VGA adapter working in my macbook pro 13" running snow leopard.
    To debug I try a mini displayport to DVI and it works fine, so I think that it is not an hardware problem, unless VGA adapter uses extra pins from the mini display port. I think that VGA is active and DVI is a passive adapter.
    When I connect the VGA adapter to the mac without the monitor the mac LCD flashes blue one time. If I connect the monitor cable it flashes blue 3 or 4 times.
    The external monitor always says no signal.
    The mac does not seems to detect the adapter, even running the firmware update it can not find the adapter. I try it with and without charger pluged.
    The adapter is original from apple and works in other computer.
    Can anyone give some help here?
    Thanks.

    Called Apple Support and they solved my issue.
    1) Restart the computer in Safe Mode with display attached (shut down and restart while holding down shift key).
         The display showed up without distortion.
    2) Change the display to my desired preferences (dimensions and refresh rate).
    3) Restart computer. ...and it works like a charm.

  • Mini display port to DVI not working

    The mini display port of my late 2009 27" iMac is not working with DVI.  Using the same monitor, DVI cable, and mini display to DVI adapter, I can connect my Air with no problems.  So the monitor, adapter, and cable are fine.  I can also connect my iMac to the same monitor using a VGA cable and a mini display to VGA adapter.  So the problem clearly seems to be with my iMac.  Has anyone had similar problems?  Any advice?  I think the image quality of DVI is substantially better than VGA so I really would like to get this working.  But I don't think the difference is worth carrying my 27" monster into the Apple Store. I could buy a mini display to HDMI adapter, but I would rather not buy yet another adapter (I think I have about 15 already with my various idevices) - and it might not work either. The DVI setup is simple and really should be working.  I bought a monitor and also a HD TV with DVI ports specifically for this.  Thanks.

    Hello,
    Using the VGA connector, what resolution is set on the Monitor?
    Is there any input choices on the Monitor for port or source?

  • Mini Display port DVI adapter not working on Thunderbolt Port

    For some time I've been using a mini display port to DVI adapter on an slightly older MBP to connect to my HD TV.  I recently purchased a MBP with a Thunderbolt port and when I try to connect it to my TV via my mini-display-port-DVI adapter things are not working properly.  The MBP is seeing the Philips TV but it isn't listing all the display modes and I'm not able to send any video to it.  Does the Thunderbolt port require a new display port to DVI adapter?

    Let me be clearer; I've got the MDP-DVI adapter connected to a cable that is DVI on one end and HDMI on the other.  I've got both laptops so I can compare side by side.  I plug in the MDP-DVI adapter to the old laptop and all works well; I plug it into the new laptop and while the laptop does see the TV, the display modes for it are all 1080p which is wrong I don't see any desktop image on the TV unlike when I plug it into the older laptop.  This is very disappointing as I expect things to just work with Apple products.

  • Belkin Mini Display Port to HDTV not working anymore with MBP

    I have a MBP V 10.7.5 and I was using a Belkin Mini Display Port to HDTV. This was working perfectly a few months ago and now when I try to connect, My Mac screen will turn blue for a minute but the TV will read "No Signal". There is nothing wrong with the cord and I'm afraid that an update on my computer messed things up. Does anyone have any idea whats wrong or how I can fix this without getting a new cord? Thanks!

  • Mini display port to VGA not showing correctly on TV

    I have a new 2012 (June) MacBookPro running 10.7.4 with a 2.5 GHz Intel i5 processor. Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB.
    I'm trying to connect a Toshiba flat screen TV to the computer via a mini display port to VGA adapter purchased from Apple with the computer. Sometimes I see 5 lines running down the screen. I can get the screen to show on the TV by changing resolutions and refresh rates (1280 x 768 at 60Hz) but the TV shows 5 partial screens on my laptop screen (between those different vertical lines). I feel like I'm looking at the beginnings of an abstract art piece.
    All software is up to date.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Called Apple Support and they solved my issue.

  • Bravia Sync does not work with Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.

    Bravia Sync does not function with my Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and Sony BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.  The Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B does not list the Sony BDV-N8100W on the Bravia Sync device list.  Does anyone have an explanation or solution for this?

    Please use a component cable.  With either RCA or optical for audio.  That is the quickest fix.  For current HDMI issues. 
    1.7 upgrade has been known to fix most of the HDMI issues.  Verizon is working diligently to roll out img 1.7.

  • ITunes purchased movies do not run on macbook pro retina display - Error message: HDCP not supported.

    Hello community,
    If i try to play a iTunes purchased movie on may Macbook Pro 15 Retina, a Error message comes up "HDCP not supported". I try to run it on the notebook screen, I have not plugged in any external device (monitor, beamer..).
    Full Error message in german:
    Der gewählte Film kann auf dem angeschlossenen Bildschirm nicht wiedergegeben werden.
    Dieser Film kann nur auf Bildschirmen wiedergegeben werden, die HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) unterstützen.
    Any ideas?

    I had this same problem.  What worked for me- not sure which one did it, but I went to System Preferences-Displays, and I turned off "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" and I also changed my resolution from "Best for retina display" to scaled "More Space".  The other scaling options seemed to do similar.

  • Macbook Pro (Lion 10.7.3) will not connect to Wi-Fi -- persistant 'connection time-out', and fails.

    I can see this seems to be a common problem, and it is amazing that there seems to be no consensus (that I can find) on what the underlying problem is.
    Here are the basics.... I have two Macbook Pro 13's... Pretty much identical setups (Lion 1.7.3 etc.).
    One, works flawlessly connecting to Wi-Fi - whether that is my Airport Express, or any other open or closed networks.
    The second, will continually refuse to connect -- to the Airport Express or even a wide-open 802.11b network.  It will continually pop up the "connection timeout" erorr, and refuse to connect... 
    Iphones etc all connect perfectly... Even when connecting to the iPhone hotspot - the same error.
    This will happed consistently, until I give up.  I can leave it for a day (use ethernet), and come back tomorrow, and voila - it will connect.  I may be able to use it for a day or several, but once it decides to 'fail', there is virtually nothing I can do to bring it back... it will continue to fail over and over again.
    All updates are applied, I've cleaned out all other networks etc from the list.  Tried all civilized things that I can.
    Thoughts? Anyone have any other insight?  Think this could be a hardware issue? I was thinking to yank the wi-fi module from the working notebook to the non-working one as a test...
    Thanks,
    Brad

  • MacBook Pro to Samsung sound bar Bluetooth not connecting

    Hello all,
    I recently purchased a Samsung sound bar with bluetooth connectivity. I can connect my iPhone 5s to it and stream music with no problem.

    I am running OSX 10.9.3 with all available updates.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks,

  • Macbook Pro thinks wireless mouse or trackpad not connected, keyboard and trackpad nonrespsonive

    Hi,
    I have a 2009 MB Pro. It is now displaying a screen that says "Bluetooth Mouse or Trackpad Setup:  There isn't a wireless mouse or trackpad connected" and then it says it is looking for a wireless mouse or trackpad and is just spinning. It says if you don't want to set up a mouse or trackpad press commad-Q to quit, but both my trackpad and built in keyboard are now completely non-functional, so I can't get out of this screen. This is weird because I have never used a wireless mouse or keyboard on this computer. The only options it gives me at the bottom are to put the computer to sleep, restart or shut down. I have no idea how to make my keyboard or mouse functioning again. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    sorry you say your built in trackpad.  and your built in keyboard.  reboot.  reset your pram.  maybe your smc
