Miniport display

I am trying to display a movie off of my computer onto a TV through an HDMI cable. I bought a Mini display port adapter. When I connect my computer to the TV, the TV continues to say no signal, as well if I go into the system preferences for Displays the Color LCD window doesn't pop up. Tried getting Apple to help, but they said that it wasn't a valid issue. My harware doesn't work, help?! What do I do?

Check thru here maybe some help

Problems with the miniport display thunderbolt-HDMI

I have an iMac 3.4 Ghz Intel core i7, the software is Mac OS x 10.6.8 and I have a new TV HD LG 32" (LG 32LS5600- ZC) with 3 HDMI plugs. When I put the mini Display port in the thunderbolt plug behind the MAC and in the HDMI port of the LG tv nothing happens... why? I tried to switch on before the TV and after the Mac... the opposite... and to check in Preferenze del sistema to see if the voice rileva monitor worked... nothing. The HDMI cable works because I am able to see the satellite TV perfectly. The mini port display Kanaan is new, bought on Amazon few weeks ago... The Mac doesn't see the TV monitor which says: nessun segnale whatever I do!
May you help me?
Thanks

Pressing F9 and then clicking on iTunes didn't do anything, but I can close iTunes anyways, that isn't the problem. It is just the seperate video display window that is the prblem . As for the other suggestion I cannot right click, so I definatly cannot right click on the window. However if you know of a way I can get it to normal or even original size with out right clicking, that would be helpful.

I cant audio out of my macbook pro.it is connected by a mini port display/hdmi adapter. i went to network preferencesand my tv- external device doesnt come up how do i fix this does any one know?

Your Mac does not have a thunderbolt port, but has a mini display port instead. It will not output sound so you will have to get sound through a aux cable.

Mini port display to vga adapter won't work

Hi,
since I upgraded to Maverick I haven't been able to connect to my projector via the miniport display to vga adapter. It all worked before that.
I need to connect to the Interactive White Board for my work and it really annoys me. I'm forced to use a windows computer. Can you help me?
Have you considered fixing this problem, which is complained by many as far as I know?
Thanks.

By any chance were you using a VGA->DVI adapter when trying to use the Mini-DisplayPort->VGA adapter? As in Mini-DisplayPort->VGA->DVI?
I had trouble with this. I found going straight to Mini-DisplayPort->VGA or Mini-DisplayPort->DVI worked perfectly but once I added a VGA->DVI or DVI->VGA adapter to the chain the screen would be detected by OS X but the monitor itself would give the "No signal detected" message. I tried all these combinations on the same monitor.
Not sure if it helps your situation but I have noticed some similar issues.
EDIT: Oh, and I have the new MacBook Pro 15inch with Retina all fully updated. I noticed that with my late-2009 White Macbook didn't have this issue with the cables and adapters.

External monitor not detected

I just got a Samsung SyncMaster 2033 SW Plus monitor and tried connecting through the DVI port of my MacBook Pro, but its not getting detected. I'm using the mini display port to DVI adapter to connect. The monitor seems to work perfectly when I connected to the VGA port of my PC, but its not even been detected on the mac. I checked system profiler and it says no external monitor connected. Please help!!

I have a similar problem with my new MBP. I have tried to connect it to my ViewSonic VP920b via the Mini DisplayPort to DVI, but get no video on the external monitor. The system profile shows it as connected, and if I turn mirroring on/off, my MBP monitor changes resolution to mirror (or not) the external, but there's no picture, just black screen.
I've tried
•closing the lid, connecting the external Mini DisplayPort, then waking without opening the lid,
•changing the energy saver preferences to each of the 2 graphics card (Graphics Card: better battery life/better performance),
•changing the external monitor resolution through all the possibilities,
•restart with the external monitor connected
•restart without the external monitor, then connect.

Since the System Profile software can contact the monitor, and since the MBP screen changes in response to connecting or disconnecting the external monitor, I believe it's safe to assume there is no problem with the DVI cable or the MiniPort Display dongle. I just have no video displayed on the external monitor
Any suggestions?

Can I use an additional external monitor for my mid-2010 MacBook?

I currently run my MacBook in clamshell mode with an external monitor, keyboard, etc. I have researched usb to VGA or DVI conversion kits but all of the sources seem outdated. I don't need HDMI because my sound output goes through my MiniPort Display, out through speakers connected to my primary monitor. I am aware that a usb connection will come with lag, but it isn't that big of a deal. Thank you for your help!

If I correctly understand you question: you have an external monitor, and you use your mac with lid closed (not a good idea at all if used for a long time, especially in warm/hot weather). Now, you want a second monitor connected via USB.
My small piece of advice is to use your MB with lid open and thus you have two monitors, beside this, you protect your mac by a proper ventilation, which is better when lid is open.

Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?

You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked.

Error 6030 caused by Display Miniport

I was getting the 6030 error over the weekend, and found that it was happening whenever I was connecting my laptop to TV using the display miniport (a square-ish port on my laptop similar to USB that is apparently commonly used on Apple products), but not when I switched to using the 15 pin VGA port. Has anyone managed to get their miniport connection working, or is it not supported by the BT sport player?

T430 display miniport problems

Hi, I have a T430 that I have been connecting to my HDTV via mini displayport to HDMI cable.
It was working just fine right out of the box, I had the image on the compiuter as well as on the TV.
All of a sudden, only sound is from computer, not on TV and image is only on TV not on computer.
I know there must be settings that I can change but I am clueless.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks

"All of a sudden, only sound is from computer, not on TV and image is only on TV not on computer."
If the input on your tv is not the same as the output on your computer (like image is only on TV), you may need to take some extra steps. If you have an HDMI on one end and a DVI on the other, for example, you’ll need a cable which converts the two and likely an additional audio cable (since a DVI output will not be able to output sound).
Best regards,
Susanna

Hi I have a year old Macbook pro. I was using a miniport to connect it to the TV via HDM cable.

When connected to the TV the screen on the mac goes blue as though there is some signal then back to original screen but the TV doesnt show what's on the laptop. Please any suggestions, thanks??

Hello nothingissecret
Check out the article below for troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. One would be to try a different cable or adapter to test with the television.

My iPod Touch does not display as a device on laptop(s), although it works fine in ITunes.

I have Windows 7, using latest version of Itunes, problem occurs on 2 different laptops, USB cord is good, Apple Mobile Device is recognized, running. Stopped and restarted AMD. I believe I have completed all available troubleshooting.
My intent was to transfer songs from my iPod to my Itunes library. I found a video on uTube, but the first step is to work with iPod device.
Thanks in advance for any help.

WAN MINIPORT ERROR AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO SHUT DOWN

Few days before,my device manager was showing yellow exclamation mark in wan miniport(ikev2),SSTP and another area, which i can't remember.So i searched on forums and use another software to fix this.The link to website is - https://www.vpnhosting.cz/index.php/clanky/wan-miniport-repair-tool-solve-vpn-and-dial-up-error-code-720-and-similar-ppperrors.html
i followed the process but now when i boot my laptop it does not show wan miniport driver initially on device manager .After long hours it shows wan miniport drivers but again with yellow excamation mark.I think it tries to install the driver at the beginning.Now
the problem is, when i shut down it takes a very long time with a huge fan operation noise.Many times it goes in to hibernation state to avoid overheating.Sometimes i have to forcibly shut down using the power button.Now when i start it , it again
does not show wan miniport drivers in device manager.This way the cycle continues and many times my laptop does not get a proper shut down.What do i do? please help me..

Hi,
May I know thw error code displayed in the problematic wan miniport drivers? Code 720 as in the link you post above or other error code?
This link can be helpful for further troubleshooting (please create a restore point before making changs to the system in case any incorrect operations can cause unexpected issue)

Multiple Displays With Single Mini Display Port

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro running Mavericks. I already have a display running from a miniport-to-hdmi adaptor which works great but I'm thinking of adding an additional monitor to the setup.
Is it just as simple as using an hdmi splitter and plugging in the second display or is there something else I need to do?
Thanks, Dan

Dan,
for a Mid 2010 model, you’ll need to use something like the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Mac Edition multi-display adapter with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter to connect your current display. If your current display or your second display has a DVI input port, then no additional adapter would be needed.

Late 2010 MBP WIll No Longer Display 1080p for External Monitor

I currently use my 15" 2010 MacBook Pro with an external monitor via an HDMI cable using the Moshi HDMI miniport adapter. Recently when I connect the monitor (I've also tested on a different HDTV and have had the same issue) it recognizes a signal but all it displays is black. Only when I change the signal to 1080i do I get a picture (a poor quality picture). Is there any fix for this? At this point I'm thinking that it's either the adapter or the MBP's hardware that is messed up. I have been using this HDMI adapter without issue since the summer.
Any help would be appreciated.
