Mini HDMI-DVI disconnects when vga thunderbolt adapter is removed
What I have found is that if the vga and HDMI adapters are connected to a monitor, I can get a signal from the HDMI-DVI adapter. But when I disconnect the vga adapter, the HDMI-DVI signal goes away too. Anybody know what's going on here?
As other threads on this have pointed to, Monoprice sells HDMI/mini-displayport to VGA cables.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=11215&cs_id=1024605 &p_id=6004&seq=1&format=2
Given the minor price variations, why not get a 10'?
It's very annoying that Apple's included adapters are DVI-D not -I, otherwise I could use those DVI-I to VGA adapters that seem to litter my clients spaces....

Satellite L650 - WLAN connection disconnects when the AC adapter is removed
Hi,
I purchased Toshiba Satellite L650 in April 2011 in Canada.It works perfectly fine in Canada, however when I bring the laptop to HK to use, i found the wirless lan connection drops or completely disconnected very frequently.
However, my 3 other laptops in hk doesn't have that problem.
I have
- updated all the bio for window and software for wlan card;
- disable the power saving level,
- increased the the TX power lever
- did what the following link said
http://support.toshiba.ca/support/techsupport/tsbs/viewtsb.asp?docid=TSB001593
and still doesn't help.
It is really frustrated to browse when the internet is on and off.
Could someone please help?
Thanx
TThanx guys,
--I downloaded and install the update driver of Realtek _WLAN_driver_Win7_2.00.0013 through toshiba web site,
--I downloaded and install Bios "PSK1EC_PSK1FC_PSK1KC_PSK00C_PSK01C_210_WIN" through toshiba web site
-- I went to wireless Network connection -> Properties-> click on networking tab-> Configure button->Power Management tab-> uncheck the box "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" of Realtek RTL8188ce wireless lan802.11n PCI-E NIC (so now the box is empty)

Hi Mac,
Does the 10.9.2 update fix the issue on 2011 macs where projectors with HDMI are not recognized via thunderbolt adapter?
Thanks in advance,

So to be clear, this issue occurs on any input with the Denon Receiver. Occurs from both HDMI out and MiniDisplay Port out. Goes away when we reinstall the OS and update it to 10.9.2. Comes back as soon as we update to 10.9.3.
Cheers

Have you been able to use the Mac Mini directly attached to the plasma/LCD/projector with out going through the Denon AVR? Even with 10.9.3 installed?
I have a Pioneer AVR and I have the Mac attached via a HDMI to HDMI and all is working for me. Can your Denon do some upscaling? Some AVR, like my VSX-53 can change the scaling of the input video. Meaning if I still had my Apple TV 2 which outputs 720P only, can be upscaled in my AVR to 1080i or 1080P or even 24fps. Heck, I could even plug in an old style Red, White, Yellow cable and upscale it to 1080P and output it HDMI.
I am wondering if your Denon is able to do that and it might be set wrong. Check the owners manual for such settings. Even the plasma/LCD/project could be doing the upscaling too. So check that too.

My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?
my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?
Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

HDMI/DVI adaptor to VGA on Monitor - No Picture
Same with Thunderbolt/DVI adaptor to VGA on monitor. Is it the adaptor to DVI/VGA cord that is making the problem?
System Information sees the Monitor(Sony Bravia TV)
Display Preferences sees my dual display set up
The computer acts as if I have two screens running
But no picture on the monitor with the signal path described aboveWelcome to the wonderful world of copy protection.
Your display may not be on the "approved" list, or was removed from it.
Apple's newer Mac lines include a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content to devices that don't include support for HDCP.
The problem can often be solved by using an HDMI to Component Video adapter. Many believe that Component Video will give you a better picture than HDMI without any of the hassles of HDCP. -
HT201173 mac mini hdmi dvi VAG connection problem.
It looks very similar, but doesn't fit a standard VGA cable? Do I need an adapter?
If the monitor has HDMI port(s) then just get an HDMI to HDMI cable.
Optionally you can also use a VGA connected monitor, but you will need a MiniDisplay Port to VGA Adapter connected up to the Thunderbolt port.

Mini won't boot when VGA is attached to KVM -- help!
My mini (Core Duo 1.86MHz, all updates installed) is attached to a Belkin Pro2 4-port KVM (F1DA104T). I've read comments about issues with KVMs being picky with the mini, but the mini won't even completely boot when the VGA cable is attached. I've used this KVM with other 10.4 Macs in the past (G3's, G4's), so I didn't expect problems. The monitor is a Dell 17" LCD (E173FP), which is fine when attached directly to the mini. I've also tried another LCD (different manufacturer) with same results.
The mini boots and I first see the gray screen with the Apple logo, followed by a light blue screen, and that's it. The finder never comes up, and I can't even SSH or VNC into it -- just the blue screen. Once I remove the VGA cable (only video - the keyboard and mouse are both still connected), it will complete the boot and launch the finder. If I boot with no display attached, or attached directly to the LCD w/o the KVM in the path, but then attach the mac to the KVM, I see the display for about two seconds, and then the monitor heads into power save mode. When I VNC into the mini to see what's going on, it's detecting two different displays; when the cable is attached but the KVM isn't on the mac's channel, it's one thing. When I switch over to the mac's channel, it's like I'm plugging in a different display. In any case, the computer is putting out 1024x768x60Hz, which is well within the specs of the monitor and KVM.
I installed SwitchresX and under VNC retrieved the DDC info. Here's what I have for when it's plugged into the KVM and on channel:

So far, I'm stumped. This is a $200+ KVM, supposedly better than many of the cheapies, with listed Mac compatibility. Neither Apple nor Belkin wants to take ownership for this problem. If anyone has any tips on where to look next, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks!
JeffHi BSteely,
Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
The blue screen I see is definitely not being generated by the LCD - it's coming from the Mac. It's coming up just after the gray Apple logo you see when booting. Normally you'd next see the finder pop up, but that never happens as long as the KVM is plugged into the mac (and it's only the VGA connection which is doing this, since the same thing happens with the keyboard/mouse unplugged from the mac). Once I remove the VGA cable, it continues to boot normally. If I hookup the LCD directly to the mac, it also boot normally.
Sorry I wasn't clear about VNC. I'm not seeing two displays at once, I'm seeing two different displays -- one when the kvm is on the mac's channel, and another when it switches away. Funny enough, I'm getting MORE resolution choices when I'm not on channel. The DDC info I posted above is for when I'm on channel.

New Mini (HDMI) with CRT Big Screen TV (RP)
Is anyone using the new Mini with a CRT TV. I have a Mitsubishi WS-65813 rear projection TV that I'd like to connect to the New Mini using HDMI to DVI. I had one of the older Mini's and the problem was the screen on the TV was not full screen or it was over-scanned, depending on the option I picked.
My question is if I connect the New Mini (HDMI-DVI) to MY TV will it fit native, meaning will it fit the screen without the above mentioned? I'd love to have the ability to watch HULU.
PS. I'd love to get a new LCD TV but the WS-65813 has a superior picture, and it has a 65 inch screen. Only 1080i, 480p, 480i, and Firewire. NO 720p.D/FW wrote:
So there's and overscan and a underscan now? Is this different from previous generation Mini's?
They actually removed the overscan function. I'm not sure how many people were using it. Very few I suspect (thus why it was removed).
The underscan function is implemented as a slider. You move it to the right until you can just see the perimeter of the Mac desktop.
Ideally, it should be all the way to the left, in a perfect world. Because you are losing resolution by using the underscan function.
But obviously many TVs do require it. And Apple kindly lets you adjust it to just the level that you need for your particular display device.
I don't know if the the underscan function is limited to only certain screen resolutions. I can't test it right now. But I will when I can. Or perhaps someone else in this discussion will have an opportunity to do so and share their findings. -
Hello, I am interested in buying this week of a mac mini 2011 withintel graphics HD3000 but I'm not sure it looks good with my Samsung SyncMaster 933HD monitor. How would it look better.... with the hdmi-dvi connection built in, buying a HDMI 1.3 cable and HDMI-making or buying an adapter hdmi display port - vga and connected through the port thunderbolt
ThanksI originally set up my mini with the included HDMI -> DVI adaptor to connect to a Sycmaster monitor. The graphics were very good.

MacMini (2011) problem with Thunderbolt display if 2nd monitor is connected via HDMI/DVI adapter
Hi,
iam running a MacMini (2011) 2.3GHz i5 with Mac OS X 10.7.4 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 256 GB Samsung SSD.
If i connect a Thunderbolt display only - all is fine.
But if i connect a 2nd monitor ( Samsung S23A700) via HDMI / DVI adapter (original Apple) the major screen (Thunderbolt Display) sometimes
is going black and immidiately back to normal. It looks like that it happens very often if i scroll down with the Apple Magic Mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
ThomasI have exactly the same problem. MacMini Server i7 (mid 2011) Macmini5.3.16Gb ram.
Mini and Thunderbolt no blink-outs.
Mini and Thunderbolt and Dell 23" connected to HDMI-DVI connector, the Thunderbolt display blinks out when system is under stress as in the Develop module of Lightroom 4.
I thought it was a problem with my Thunderbolt display, and since its on a VESA mount, I didn't really want to haul in in to the Apple Store. I decided to be sure it was the dosplay...
I borrowed a MacbookPro i7 and ran it from a clone of my Mini. No problems aster hours of use. (But with only ONE monitor.) That suggested that there was no problem with the Thunderbolt Display.
I decided to run the Mini with only one display. Again no problems. I plugged in the Second monitor to the HDMI port and within 2 minutes I had my first "Blink-Out".
I ran the rest of the day without the second monitor with no problems.
I conclude the mini will not work reliably with two monitors if one is a Thunderbolt.
I was using two Dell Monitors before I got the Thunderbolt Diskplay (for 3 months) without incident. -
Mini DisplayPort to DVI + DVI to VGA Display Adapter, will it work?
Hi,
I have a MBP, and I have just purchased an apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
I want to connect it to a VGA port.
Can I buy an Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter and connect it to the connector above.
Will that work? Any one with experience who could advise me on that?
Thanks.This does not work, because the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter has a DVI-D port that transmits only digital signals. VGA uses analog signals.
-
My early 2011 MBP laptop (OS Yosemite 10.2.2) recently started logging itself out. I narrowed the problem to the external monitor which is connected with a Thunderbolt adapter. I installed Thunderbolt firmware update 1.2, that did not correct the problem. When I disconnect the external monitor, the problem went away. Is there something I can do to be able to use the external monitor again?

No HDMI or MiniDP-to-VGA output, but HDMI-to-DVI is okay
I purchased my Mac Mini almost a week ago and I've been having strange issues with getting my various monitors to work with it.
I don't own any Thunderbolt or native MiniDisplayPort monitors, however I do have a number of VGA monitors, as well as some HP LP2475w monitors which have VGA, DVI (DVI-D and DVI-A), HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs.
When I have OS X installed on my Mac Mini, the Apple MiniDP-to-VGA adapter works with my VGA monitors, but only when OS X has loaded. My monitors all say "no signal" during the boot-up phase. However I had no problems when I connect my LP2475w monitors to the Mac Mini via the HDMI-to-DVI adapter: I see the grey screen during bootup, can see/access the boot menu, and everything works fine.
Today I purchased a HDMI cable to connect the Mac Mini to my LP2475w monitors to see if that would work. Well, it does work... almost, sometimes, but not most of the time.
When I use a direct HDMI connection my LP2475w says there's no signal, unless I plug the cable in during the text-mode portion of Windows' bootloader (under Boot Camp). As soon as Windows loads, or during the grey-screen bootup section my monitors all say there's no signal. There is nothing wrong with the cable or my monitors.
Here's a table:
Connection
Can see boot screen/boot menu
Can see OS X (when loaded)
Can see Windows (when loaded)
HDMI from Mac Mini to LP2475w
No
Not tested
No
HDMI-to-DVI from Mac Mini to LP2475w
Yes
Yes
Yes
MiniDP-to-VGA from Mac Mini to VGA monitor
No
Yes
No
So what's going on here then?
Has anyone else had the same problems as me?SOLVED - I purchased a third-party MiniDP to DVI adapter instead and it works a treat.
Quite what the difference can be to a supposedly passive adapter I'm unsure - but glad it's fixed anyhow. -
?? I thought there was a mac-mini, DVI to RCA /S-video adapter. If not can display be set to 37,5 hertz then my crt can accept composite video. Thanks.
12. Can I output via Mini DisplayPort to an RCA or S-Video connection?
No. The Mini DIsplayPort connector allows output to Mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI, and HDMI connections when using the proper cables and adapters. However, output to RCA, Component, or S-Video connections is not supported.
