Mavericks has no HDMI out

I'm glad I didn't pay for this Mavericks upgrade. My Mac mini 2.4, that I bought exclusively for my home theater setup was just upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8. Now my HDMI connected TV has no sound. I can not choose LG TV in Preferences/Sound. It's there but the se,ection goes right back to built-in audio. Holding Option while clickiing on the volume icon shows LG TV is available but, again, it can not be chosen.
I'll be re-installing 10.6.8 this coming week.
I'm not happy with iTunes DJ ( may most used feature) disapperaring either (and I left feedback).
The backwards scrolling thing is just crazy.
The Mac OS WAS a good thing and Apple has screwed it up.

The reason why resetting the PRAM didn't work for you. Is because there were pieces missing from the the instructions. Here's a link to Apple Support for the proper way of doing a PRAM reset.

This is what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Which seems quite a bit like:
Reset the PRAM by holding Option-Command-P-R on startup and wait until you hear two start up chimes.
Unless it's the order in which I press the keys before holding all four down simultaneously.
Well since you have a cable plugged into the headphone jack. Then resetting the PRAM won't do anything. The Mac will automatically default back to the headphone jack. I didn't get the chance to test it out in Snow Leopard. But in Lion and Mt Lion and now Mavericks, it defaults back to the headphone jack. So you'll need to unplug the cable from the headphone jack.

HDMI Out Graphics Card

(This is for my friend who's too lazy to create an account)
My friend just got a Mac Pro (standard specs) and hooked it up to a monitor he just got from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009154
Since it only has HDMI ports, he has it hooked up through an HDMI to DVI adapter, however there is random flickering here and there (which is probably due to the refresh rate, but there's no option to change it other then the one selected). I'm assuming the graphics card can't interface with the display properly causing this flickering to happen every once in a while. Can you reccomend a Graphics Card that has an HDMI out port on it that's good and not too expensive (around $250 range or below)?
Thanks.

I don't think your assumption (that the graphics card can't interface with the display properly) is accurate. HDMI has the same video signals as DVI, and no real conversion is done.
If you're seeing flickering "once in a while" it is unlikely that it's a problem with the frame rate. I suspect you're seeing a phenomenon other than flickering, like the graphics updating too slowly. If it's flickering due to frame rate issues you'd see it constantly with a white screen. And even then it could still be caused by a bad inverter or even your ambient light source.

HDMI Out From 27inch iMAC No Longer Has Audio Post Mavericks Upgrade

After upgrading to Mavericks my Mini Displayport->HDMI out is no longer outputting audio.
Is this happening to anyone else? Any line on a solution?

I am having the same issue, and have posted a reply to a similar issue in the mavericks forum.

Has anyone figured out a way to watch HBOGO, with iPad2 to HDMI TV?

Has anyone figured out a way to watch HBOGO, with iPad2 to HDMI TV?, & actually get more than the HBOGO SPLASHSCREEN & audio? I am visually handicapped, & would like to see Deadwood & Enterage episodes on bigger screen..Thank you in advance! Jules

Whoever told you Elements 3 won't work in Leopard was simply wrong. It does. Elements 2 and Photoshop 7 will not work, Elements 3 and Photoshop CS1 will both work. My understanding is that the code for both the non-working ones was a kludge of the original code built for the Classic Mac OS to get it to run natively in OS X, and, since Leopard no longer supports Classic code in any way neither PS 7 nor Elements 2 will work, ever. Don't know whether that theory about the code is correct or not, but it sounds sorta reasonable. But whether that is the explanation is irrelevant: Elements 2 and PS 7 do not work in Leopard.
Why not do what I'm going to do: get off Adobe's gravy train. I'm going to buy Elements 6 when it comes out (which is about half what it costs to upgrade my CS1 to CS3), and spend some more quality time with the GIMP. No more upgrades of Photoshop for me.

Solve no hdmi out on mavericks upgrade

Since upgrading my macBook Pro with mini adapter to HDMI all I get is black after a flash. No recognition) in display or sounds control panels. It (MacBook late 2009 Intel 6Gb with mini, not Thunderbolt, HDMI out with audio) used to wok fine. Always. After upgrade, nothing. After downgrade, nothing. After next upgrade to 9.2, guess what, nothing! Help! Get me back to where I once (last month) was! Works from all PC's and Macs without Mavericks. Anybody have any ideas? There are literally hundreds of complaints if you search Google on this topic. We have to wait for upgrade?

My sony video camera has HDMI out - can I download direct into MBP using dhmi

Is it possible to download direct from video camera with HDMI out to Macbook Pro 15" HDMI in.

HDMI out is only suitable to connect to a display.
Current Macs do not have raw-Video inputs. Use USB or FireWire.

I have an older HDTV with only 1 HDMI connection. I use a Bose 3.2.1. GS Series II system and have a HDTV cable box. Bose system has no HDMI. How can I connect an Apple TV to this system?

I have an older flat panel HDTV with only 1 HDMI connection which is being used through my cable box for TV reception. I also use a Bose 3.2.1. GS Series II home theatre system. It has no HDMI inputs. Can I use an Apple TV with my present system? I'd prefer not hearing, "buy a new flat panel."

Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.

Can I display EyeTV's live TV over HDMI-out and be able to see my desktop using screen-sharing on a headless mac-mini used as a media-box?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a new mac-mini to replace my current one which acts as an iTunes server and records TV programs using eyeTV. I connect using screen-sharing/VNC to be able to do stuff on it (like handbrake etc.)
I have eyeTV with a satelite receiver and I want to change the setup so that:
- the new mac-mini continues to work as an iTunes server (and handbrake workhorse)
- I can use the HDMI output (inc. audio) to show eyeTV's live TV full-screen app
- I can connect using screen-sharing/VNC to the mac-mini and see my normal desktop to be able to maintain it etc. but this is a headless display (no screen is connected to the display-port).
- recorded media I'd play through the appleTV2 still + rentals etc. unless anyone knows if eyeTV software can offer up iTunes content? I don't like the eyeTV recordings in general as it seems very slow to me for access when there are lots of recordings and wouldn't be available in other apleTVs in the house AFAIK.
The main benefit that this gives me is that I'd no longer need a seperate satelite box to watch live TV and can add more eyeTV hardware to get additional TV channels all through the same HUD on the TV for ease of access.
Does this seem possible in theory & practice (ie are there any gotcha's to consider?)
- can I force the HDMI output resolution to 1080i as I go via an amp to the TV and the appleTV2 drops to low-res in this configuration so I have had to find a workaround for that.
- does the mac-mini have IR input that can be programmed?
- Does eyeTV software remain stable for long periods?
- Does the HDMI out have any handshake issues that would need a reset of the display (somehow)?
thanks in advance for any thoughts/contributions
Lee

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Can I use the HDMI Out on my macbook pro retina for audio without connecting a video device?

While the MBP has TOSLINK output from the headphone jack, TOSLINK does not have the bandwidth to carry the high resolution audio from many blu-rays and DVD-Audio disks. I would like to hook my MBP to an audio-only HDMI sink so I can pipe the multichannel output to my surround speaker setup.
My concern is that the MBP will get "confused" and do one of the following things - both of which are "bad":
1) It will decide that a video device is there, and put the desktop on the nonexistent HDMI display OR
2) It will decide to send no signal at all (no video, no audio) because it sees no video device.
Any thoughts on this?
In short - thinking of using something like this: http://www.ambery.com/2hddodtsdihd.html
with the HDMI out of the MBP and then piping its 6 discrete analog outputs to my old (but excellent for computer speakers) Logitech Z680 setup.
But I want any movie video to remain unperterbed on my Thunderbolt display. And if I am not watching a movie and am just listening to multichannel FLACs or something, then I'd like to run the media player normally and have the usual desktop on my MBP or Thunderbolt display.
Any thoughts?
Thanks to all!!

Maybe, if the Sonnet is properly Thunderbolt compatible it should.

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI in without any additional software or graphics adaptor. I have a 520-1070
HP - 23" Touch-Screen TouchSmart All-In-One Computer - 8GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive ? I used a HDMI to HDMI cable and the monitor was not recognized.

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 Desktop Computer. As previously stated your computer Doesn't have a HDMI output, instead it has a HDMI input. This is designed to let you connect a game console, a DVD/Bluray player, etc. to use as a monitor.
If you wish to conect a second monitor to your computer, you will need to use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or EVGA UV Plus+ UV19. Using an adapter like these with the touch feature of your computer may cause issues with pointer control and you may need to disable the touch feature to use "extended desktop".

Maverick has given my MacBook Pro a stroke

Maverick has given my MacBook Pro a stroke. One command takes 10-20 seconds to "register". Pages take minutes to load. Spinning color wheel nearly constant.

First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Veiwing HD on a client monitor Aja card has no HDMI or DVI . any solutions

I wrote to aja and they said to use the analog component out. I want to use the HDTV to on-line hd shows. Does going analog out sound like I'm not getting the best to the monitor? Do I need to add another DVI card to the computer? Will it work with the AJA Lhe?

Well, you have the LHe, right? That doesn't have HDMI out...so you can't use that. It has SDI out, but, the HDTV doesn't. So that leaves Component. They are right (as usual). Component gives a fine signal, I use it myself at times.
DVI out from your computer will NOT give you anything resembling a proper video signal to the HDTV. With the LHe, the only option you have is Component. And it will get you a decent signal.
ONLINE HD shows? Well, since you can't properly calibrate the HDTV to color bars, I'd be hard pressed to recommend this option. Fine for client monitoring, but for critical viewing? Nope. The Matrox MXO2 has HDMI out that will calibrate your HDTV...I'd trust that. But HDTVs don't have the professional level options build in.

Video and hdmi out

Hi,
I've made an app for android with images and stagevideo 720p on the background and a graphic layer over like some channels to announce the next program... On my Acer Iconia A500 under ICS the app run fine but on the TV with the hdmi cable when there's an image on the background it's ok but when it's a video, only the video is visible, all other objects are not displayed.
I know that all manufacturers do what they want with hdmi out, it's not a part of android but is there a way to display the same image on the TV and on the tablet? How an hdmi out can choose to display only a video ?
edit...
After some other tests, the stageVideo object seams to be in front of all the scene and not behind and never and stage.stageVideos[0].attachNetStream(null); has no effect... !
thanks if someone got some ideas.

Apple says when both HDMI and component are connected, HDMI will take precedence over component. Short answer: no.

HDMI out

yet another newbie question. i have purchased mini display to hdmi lead all plugged in ok but i only get background picture on tv what ami doing wrong. i expected my macbook pro screen to appear on tv as i see it on mbp ad use the tv for large screen viewing/ediing.

Finally I got a hold of a Toshiba engineer who tried using the HDMI-In port and couldn't get it to work, he then got ahold of another Toshiba engineer that told him there is a button on the left side, second one from the top it has circle with an arrow icon, this switches to the HDMI input. I also asked him about using with a satellite receiver or any receiver with an HDMI-out you must use this the same way. This means you cannot use Wndows media center or the DVR function with the HDMI-In. The computer then acts as a TV monitor only. I have to use a RF modulator to hook my Direct tV satellite receiver into the coax in from the HDMI-out of the receiver, I lose some picture quality but it does function.

HDMI out on zc706 and zc702

Hi All,
I ported the HDMI out interface for ZC706 to ZC702 board. For some reason the HDMI display didn't get initialized. The following are the things I verified,
1. The ADV7511 used for HDMI display is configured as expected.
2. The pinmap has been changed correspondingly
What could other things that could possibly go wrong.
P.S : The HDMI out solution does work in ZC706 board.
Thanks in Advance.
