Mini Dvi to hdmi problem, the mini dvi doesn't even plug in all the way?

hi,
i have a mid 2007 macbook, i just bought a mini dvi to hdmi cable, i tried to plug it in and it doesn't even plug on all the way, 1/3 of the conector is still hanging out, and it doesnt display anything anyways, nothing is detected on the macbook or the TV.
somone seem to have the same exact problem as me with the laptop, but his query wasn't answered it was the last post on this thread.

Thanks for that. I have a Y adapter (3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound just like you said). Under input options on my TV, I can select either HDMI1 input (which gives me video only) or AV1/S input (which gives me audio only) - not both at once...Could you explain how I can get stereo audio on my TV?

  • Is it ok to have the iPhone plug in all the time?

    Hi all, I remember reading somewhere that it's not healthy for the battery if you keep it plugged in all the time after it's fully charged. What I am worried about is if my phone is low on battery at night and I plug it in, it will be fully charged in about 2-3 hours, but I sleep for an average of 7 hours, is it ok for the battery?
    Thanks,

    I have owned the original iPhone, the iPhone 3G and now the iPhone 4 and have always plugged in them in when I have gone to sleep and left them plugged in until I wake up on avg 6-8 hours later. Never, not one time, have I ever had any trouble with the battery on any of the phones. Not sure what Apple says about the subject but this is my experience.

  • Mini-DVI to HDMI Problem

    Hi, I bought a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter like this one: http://www.hdtvsupply.com/mini-dvi-to-hdmi.html to be able to hook up my macbook (2007 white version) to my HDTV. However, since HDMI is traditionally for both video AND audio, the HDMI channel on the TV can only output audio coming in through the HDMI cable. There is no sound, because I am only feeding video through that channel.
    To solve the issue, I purchased the following 6ft 3.5mm Stereo Plug/2 RCA Plug Cable: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804 &p_id=665&seq=1&format=1#largeimage. The problem is, that I am only able to play sound from my laptop on my HDTV on one channel, and video from the Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter on another, but not both audio and video at the same time. What is the SIMPLEST way to fix this? I wouldn't want to purchase any additional cables if possible
    Many thanks for your help in advance!!!

  • Mini DVI to HDMI problem, won't play DVD movie full screen on TV

    I use a mini-DVI port adapter with a DVI to HDMI cable to a 32" 1080p TV. When I play the DVD player screen on the TV and select full screen mode, the screen shifts back to macbook and displays full screen on the mac and the TV displays a black looking background. This issue only started after installing Lion.

  • Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter or Mini-DVI to DVI cable?

    I know Apple has a couple different Mini-DVI adapters for their Powerbook and MacBook computers. I don't especially like adapters and was wondering if anyone knows of a Mini-DVI to DVI cable.
    Also, with the gaining popularity of HDMI, do you think we will ever see a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter or cable?

    Hi,
    I know it is changing the subject, but I've been long frustrated by Apple's penchant for odd connectors, especially video connectors. Remember old quadras with 13 pin D connectors, powerbooks with square connectors, 7100s with I-don't-know-what connectors? All the while, ye olde VGA 15-pin D-sub connector was on just about everything else - even gas chromatographs.
    We also got that funny mini-dix (Digital-Intel-Xerox) Ethernet connector on powerbooks when PCs were outfitted with familiar RJ-45 jacks. I did see one other machine that had the mini-dix: a government spec Zenith notebook.
    I'm surprised Apple didn't use a VGA connector on the Macbook, given its above average exposure in the educational environment and greater than average odds of being hooked up to a lectern in a distance learning room. Pretty much to a tee, every distance learning setup I've seen has a VGA cable at the presenter's lectern. I worked in a university IT department, and it was pretty common for our loaner laptops to come back missing just about any ancillary goodie that could be misplaced. It isn't so bad to have to routinely stuff a new $2.00 cat-5 cable in the bag, but a $20.00 video dongle - not so good!
    If Apple just couldn't countenance the idea of a VGA connector, I wonder how hard it would have been to have a normal size DVI connector? At least DVI-to-VGA connectors are easier to find, and better, aren't so expensive.

    Is the display turned on? Sometimes it is the simplest of solutions, when details are missing.

  • I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.   It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

    I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. 
    It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
    even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
    This problem is irritating me....?

    To take panorama
    - ensure that the panorama option is on
    - press the shutter button once
    - you will see a line with an arrow
    - move around in a circle  ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
    - as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
    - at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
    I hope that this helps, do report back.

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

    Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

    Since your iPhone is still under the one year warranty contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store to get a replacement.

  • HT201263 Problem is a black screen. I have tried all the recommendation from the support article, however the iPhone 4 screen still remains black

    Hi, My wife has developed a problem overnight after charging her phone. The Problem is a black screen. I have tried all the recommendation from the support article, however the iPhone 4 screen still remains black

    Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for testing, and if it is defective and under warranty they will replace.  Since you say iPhone 4, was this a used or refurbished iPhone?
