MacbookPro with retina- hdmi port is not working.

I have a 15 inch macbookpro with retina and am having problems with the hdmi connection to a tv or monitor.
I connect it and all that comes up on the computer screen and device connected is a black screen with the cursor on it. The cursor moves around but it is a black screen.
I tried a television and a monitor. With different hdmi cables. Good quality cables at that.
Any help?

Yeah, they never HEARD of the problem. NEWSFLASH jerks, this problem is pervasive and widespread. If you read your own forums, then you've heard of the problem. This level of willful ignorance reminds me of a cult. Apple will not admit how incredibly flawed their macbooks and ipads are. Well, I'm leaving this cult.

15 inch Macbook pro Retina HDMI port will not work

One day it was working fine then all of a sudden the screen when blank and i have not been able to get it to work since. I use to plug the HDMI cable from my MAC to my TV now there is no acknowledgement on my tv and my MAC will not detect that a cable has been connected like it use to. Please help.

If available, try connecting to another TV, try another cable and/or another Mac. An appointment at an Apple store genius bar can determine if the fault lies with the MBP. There is no software solution in this case.
Ciao.

Anyone have a problem with the HDMI port suddenly not recognizing any digital source imput signal?

I have an HP 2711x monitor.
Anyone suddenly have a problem with it no longer recognizing any digital source input with the HDMI port (or DVI), yet the VGA port works fine?
Thanks.

Hello Largelee,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues with your HP 2711x Monitor not displaying HDMI or DVI inputs, yet it can display VGA inputs. Are these inputs all coming from the same device? Such as your computer? Does the computer's outputs show up on other devices via HDMI and DVI? If it works are you using the same cables? Are there any messages displayed on the monitors screen when you have the HDMI or DVI hooked up?
Check to see if any of the documents below pertaining to the HP 2711x Monitor pertain to your issue:
Flat Panel Monitor Displays Message about No Signal, Signal out of Range, Sleep, or Power Save
'Input out of Range' Error After a Recovery or Upgrading to Windows 7
Monitor is Blank

Dynex DX-LCD32-09 HDMI ports / inputs not working

My Dynex DX-LCD32-09 is just over a year old. It stopped recognizing anything plugged into the HDMI ports today. Not only that, every time the TV starts it goes to the TV input and displays the message "Please run channel auto scan" regardless of which input it was working on before it was turned off. VGA and A/V video is working fine when input is selected, however, once the TV is turned off and back on, it goes back to the TV input and th message about auto scan. I am assuming everything besides HDMI is working but I have only tested VGA and component.
I accessed the service menu and did an EEPROM Initialization (EEPROM Init) but that did not fix the problem. The Software build is 03/20/08 21:17:35 . Is there a way to update the firmware and will that fix the problem? any other suggestions? Can I take to bestbuy for repair? How much will they charge to Diagnose + Fix the problem?
Please help, playing PS3 on A/V port sucks!!!
thanks

Still no ideas ?

I can connect my macbook pro to my tv with a VGA cable no problem. When I try to connect it to my tv with and HDMI it does not work, any solutions? It flickers once when first connect it, looking like it recognizes it, then it doesn't.

I am having trouble getting my macbook to connect to my tv. When I connect my mac to the tv via VGA I have no problem. It detects it right away. I just purchased a HDMI cable because I didn't want to have to use speakers when connect to my TV and it will not detect the computer. The HDMI is a good cable because it connects our apple tv to the tv, so I know it works.
When I connect the HDMI cable to the tv and my computer, the screen on my tv flickers once and it seems like it is connected. It then flickers one more time about 5 seconds after like it disconnects.
When I use my VGA it gives me an arrangement tab in the displays, I do not get that when I plug my HDMI in. I get nothing. Is there something else I could do?

Never mind, I solved it. Didn't know the converter needed a power source to operate (duh!) Now I have that, it works just fine.......

Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
Thanks

Any ideas?

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Macbook Retina Display isight camera not working - graphics freeze

I recently bought a base MBP-RD and can say that I am overall impressed with it, though I have found a couple issues already. One of them is related to the iSight camera which for some reason doesn't work. The camera appears in system profiler, but it shows as "camera not detected" when trying to launch application like iChat, Skype, FaceTime, etc. I already tried re-installing OSX Lion, and still not working.
I have also found some weird issue with graphics where it freezes a series of frames when going to Mission Control or App Expose.
I am returning this computer as there are other things I didn't like, but overall pretty impressive (no LED battery indicator, no Lock slot, no sleep light indicator...)
Please reply if you have same issue.

i think Macbook Pro is a good computer but plenty of issues, since day one.
i received my computer with space bar cracked. i figured this out @ night when the keyboard backlight was.
then my USB port ***** on it, it does not read all.
even after the update no go the USB port does not work all the time with the apple usb to ethernet adapter.
while if i install vmware it does work on the windows in VMware environement.
my Camera also is not being detected how can i fix the camera.
please do not tell me go to genius bar, they are all but not genius, if you have issue they ask you to format they do not know how to troubleshoot.
Conclusion problem with macbok retina version:
isight Camera wont detect
USB port Does not work with all devices.
Space Bar key broken from manufacture.

USB ports does not work

Hi I have problems with not working USB ports. It used to work. I downloaded actual drivers at msi.com for my gaming notebook GX 60 Destroyer and now my USB ports does not work. What should I do?

What driver have you updated?
Try to do an EC firmware reset by removing the battery and the AC adapter then put the battery back with AC adapter attached.
Same questions like Pegasus asked, does all ports not working? which one exactly? What OS are you using?
Have you done any changes to the system? (for example: self-install OS or changing OS)

Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

Audio output and left USB port is not working!

Hi! I have MacBook Air 13" late 2010, Audio output and left USB port is not working!
What happened?
Part No.: Z0JH000TE RS

If the left USB port doesnt work with an external mouse its seems to be a hardware malfunction of this USB port.
The newest BIOS is already installed?
Have you removed all USB ports from device manager and restarted your notebook?
If you have already tried this, contact an authorized service provider. The guys can try to fix this issue and it should be covered by warranty, if you still have warranty on this notebook. :)

After installation, the mobo LAN port is not working? urgent, help ple

I just installed archlinux on my new i7 860 Asus p7p55d-e Deluxe build, but after the installation the LAN port is not working anymore. Before this, this Lan port works perfect in windows as well as in the arch installation. But after the installation, the led is orange and is blinking slowly, windows complains that the cable is not properly plugged, and even arch installation can't pull DHCP from it also.
Luckily, the mobo has another lan port, so I have to plug the cable out and to the second port, but I couldn't seem to be able to find anyway to enable the first Lan port anymore?
Have you seen anything like this, what possibly is the reason?
Thanks, any help will be appreciated.

heleos, thanks for the reply, the first thing I check is BIOS. There is definitely nothing wrong with that, since I loaded the default one.
It is really strange, it seems no matter what I do, the 1st port which used to work, simple doesn't work, but the second one works fine.
But after some poking around with the "ethtool", it starts to work again. I have no idea what cause the disfunction and what magically heal it again.
Now I am really curious.

MBA thunderbolt VGA projector with windows 7 in bootcamp not working

Hi,
I'm the happy owner of a Macbook Air I7 with a thunderbolt port. Everything works fine in Macos. However for my job i'm dependent on Livemeeting and visio, so when I use the MBA in the workplace i run Windows7 genuine in bootcamp. All works well, except using a projector or beamer. It just does not connect. I know I can use parallels, which works fine, but I want to use windows7 for presentations via bootcamp as well.
Anyone have the same problem, or better yet a solution? I am running at the latest drivers and the fact that all goes well in Macos shows that's it's not an hardware issue. I appriciate any help to get the problem fixed.
Who want to run Win7 on a macbook anyway ;-)

Would love to see a reply to this. It's really ******* me off - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I'm very close to ditching Apple for good -iOS is a joke (Siri anybody?), and you get better performance in OSX from a machine that costs 1/3 of the price.
