My desktop,model s5-1204, came without hdmi port. can one be added.
it has a dvi

Hi,
Based on its specs, it has:
Expansion Slots:
1 PCI Express x16 (Gen2.0)
3 PCI Express x1 (Gen2.0)
1 PCI Express Mini Card x1
The option: you can add a video card to the PCIe x16 and use a card which has HDMI port. It only has 220W PSU therefore you have to update the PSU too.

Older Projection TV without HDMI ports

Hello,
I was recently given a 65 inch HDTV ready Projection screen tv. Here is the link for the model. http://dprojection-hdtv.blogspot.com/2011/07/toshiba-65h82-65-inch-169-hdtv-ready.html. It is I would like to say 7 years old and does not have hdmi ports. I have a lot of videos on my Xbox 360 that I would like to play on it. I am using the HD composite cable for it right now and it just isn't as clear as I would want it to be. Is there anything I can do? Is there something that converts component cables to HDMI? If someone could help that would be greatly appreciated!!

I had one of those! It was a fantastic TV at the time. You could really get a spectacular picture out of them, howerver....it's a 10 year old CRT RPHDTV so you're probably not going to get a great picture out of it anymore. You're going to deal with two issues:
1) Phospor aging is the first. There are three color guns inside that TV, as the R/G/B phosphors age, they lose brightneess and produce a less accurate image. The typical lifespan of those TV's is about 10 - 12 years depending on how it was used.
2) Convergence is the second. The three color guns need to be 'aimed' correctly to produce a clear image. The 'touchfocus' button on the front of the TV will start an auto-convergence cycle, then you can manually adjust the convergence in the TV's menu system.
Good luck.

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.

Can Apple TV be used on a HDTV without HDMI port? If yes, what is needed for setting up?

I have a Sony wega HDTV, and it does not have HDMI port, does anyone know if I can use Apple TV on it? If so, how is it set up?

Current AppleTVs require a TV with HDMI.
You may find some dubious adapters out there which purport to convert to other formats.
If your Tv has VGA in and an audio input you might want to look at:

Only the DVI-I port no HDMI port, can use Applr TV?

My TV model is Sharp TU-324GH, (http://www.go-gddq.com/down/2012-01/12011407508070.pdf) which only display 1080i and no HDMI in port, may I use Apple TV?

The only supported method is HDMI, there is no guarantee with others. If it does work you may have issues with protected content (ie iTunes, Netflix).
Also, Apple TV supports 1080P, but not 1080i

Dual DVI Displays (extended desktop) via 1 HDMI Port ?

Hi, I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro w/Retina Display 15” Quad Core 2.6Ghz i7 with 16Gb ram.
Running the latest OS (10.10.3) and all latest updates, etc..
I have 2 23” Apple Cinema Displays which are DVI. I would like them to be used as “Extended Desktop” style on this computer.
I understand this is possible via the Thunderbolt ports (correct?), but would ideally like them to come out the HDMI port (and work like “Extended Desktop”).
This is because I will have the bandwidth of my Thunderbolt bus maxed out. And would hate for the video to slow anything down as I will have many drives and interfaces on the TB ports that need the data.
I am not looking to mirror the displays, but want “Extended Desktop”. I am hoping the 1 HDMI port can support that somehow, maybe with adapters ?
Any input would be greatly appreciated as far as my options.
Thanks !

This thread can be deleted, as I am not getting enough response here, so I posted in another forum.
Thanks -

Lenovo G580 20157 but no HDMI port?

Hello,
My brother has recently purchased a Lenovo G580 laptop from New World in Menlyn, Pretoria, South Africa (http://www.newworldmenlyn.co.za)
According to the advertised specs (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/essential/g-series/g580/index.html#techspecs) and the PDF manual that came with the laptop, this model should definitely have an HDMI port right next to the two USB ports on the left side, as well as Bluetooth connectivity, however neither are present.
Prior to purchasing from New World he looked at a demo model (the same one) at another store (Incredible Connection - http://www.incredible.co.za) which DID have an HDMI port and Bluetooth.
As such we are worried that he might have purchased a gray market, refurbished or fake unit.
When checking the warranty status (with serial number) at http://support.lenovo.com/en_ZA/product-service/warranty-status/default.page?, the warranty shows "active", though.
The laptop's touchpad is also extremely unreliable, to the point of being impossible to use without causing MAJOR frustration. We tried updating to the latest Windows 8 touchpad drivers and played with all the settings in the ELAN drivers, as well as the default Windows trackpad settings, but nothing helped.
Please can someone from Lenovo confirm whether this laptop should in fact have an HDMI port, Bluetooth, and a trackpad that works (I will provide the serial nr. in a PM upon request), and what we should do to rectify this problem.
Appreciate any help.

Sorry but I can't relate that 20157 number to the 8-digit numbers in the 3book
Perhaps it's an international model that isn't in the 3book. Hopefully someone else will join the conversation and shed some light.
I can say (again) that there are non-bluetooth non-HDMI G580 machines listed so I don't think yours is somehow missing those features "by mistake" from the factory. More likely your retailer just didn't represent the laptop correctly

HT1586 Is it possible to connect my Apple TV to a TV withouth an HDMI port

I have just bought an Apple TV but my TV does not have a HDMI port - can i use it on this TV and if so what connectors do i need?

Hi @kateaird.Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and congratulation on your new Apple TV.
Unfortunately the latest generations of Apple TV only output video through an HDMI port. While the first generation also had component video and RCA stereo audio ports, they were removed in the second generation.
However, there are HDMI to 3RCA 3-RCA Video Component converter which you can purchase, to connect your Apple TV to a TV that does not have HDMI port.
I hope that helps.

Can I run VGA monitor from Mac Mini HDMI port?

Hi:
I have a Mac Mini with one HDMI port and one Thunderbolt port. I have a Thunderbolt-only audio interface, so I need to connect my monitor to the HDMI port.
I bought an HDMI to VGA adapter cable for this purpose, but when I connect the monitor (Acer x233hz), all I get is a "No Signal Present" error message.
Is there a setting I can change in order to use the hardware I have, or do I have to find another solution?
Thanks!

You need an HDMI to VGA converter, not an adopter. Since the HDMI signal is digital only you need to convert that to analogue. You need somnethging like this

Connecting 30" display to HDMI port?

i'm about to purchase a 30" screen, but as i'm not on a Mac i don't have DVI ports. i do, however, have an HDMI port. can i just use a DVI to HDMI adapter and connect it like that? if so, what plug needs to be male and what plug female?
thanks in advance.

well, as far as i know my graphics card does support dual DVI, it just doesn't have a DVI port. does that make sense?
Does it say dual-link, not just dual?
couldn't i use this cable to do it?
http://sewelldirect.com/hdmi-to-dvi-dual-link-cable-10-ft.asp
If it's really a dual-link HDMI type B connector (29 pins, not 19 pins)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-DefinitionMultimediaInterface>
"The Type B connector has 29 pins (21.2 mm by 4.45 mm) and can carry double the video bandwidth of Type A for use with very high-resolution future displays such as WQUXGA (3840x2400).Type B is electrically compatible with dual link DVI-D but has not yet been used in any products."
then is should work. Do you have a link to the graphics card? I have never seen one with HDMI type B.

Your MBP is running in "extended desktop" mode, where the two screens together make one larger area to display windows. You can drag one or more windows from the primary (internal) screen to the secondary (TV) screen. By default, the secondary screen is off to the right of the primary screen.
If you would prefer the two screens show the same image, you want to switch to "mirroring" mode. You will have to pick a single resolution for both screens, which may look poor on one or the other.
Both the relative positions of the two screens in extended desktop mode and the switch to mirroring mode can be set in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.

How do I re-download my iphoto library if I can no longer find iphoto on my desktop or in my finder without loosing all of my photos?

How do I re-download my iphoto library if I can no longer find iphoto on my desktop or in my finder without loosing all of my photos?

How did you install it in the first place? If it came with your Mac, and the Mac didn't come with Lion installed, then reinstall iLife from the Applications disc that was in the box. If you no longer have that disc, you'll have to order a replacement from Apple customer service. Either that, or restore the iPhoto application from your backups.
If you got iPhoto from the App Store, you can download it again by launching the App Store application.

If I am using my Apple TV without hdmi cords do I always lose hdcp playback? If not, which adapters or cords must I purchase so my Apple TV still works optimally?

If I am using my Apple TV without hdmi cords do I always lose hdcp playback? If not, which adapters or cords must I purchase so my Apple TV still works opitmallly?

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

Is there any way to lock the HDMI display on one desktop?

Hello!
My Macbook Pro HDMI-connection to my TV works great -- the only thing I wasn't able to figure out is if it was possible to lock the HDMI display on one desktop. I use five different desktops (spaces) and I'm using extended desktop(s) for my HDMI, but every time I switch to another desktop, whatever I'm watching on my TV switches to the extended desktop for whatever space I just switched to, meaning that my TV switches to blank screens. Is there any way that, even if I continue switching through desktops on my computer, I can keep my HDMI locked on the extended space for "Desktop 1," for example?
Hope that makes sense. Thanks!
-Ryan

If you disable the "Change with buttons" setting, the buttons will still control the general volume (music, games, etc) but will NOT change the ringer or alarm sound settings (keyboard clicks also fall into this category but is not mentioned). This lets you use the volume up/down buttons to change the general volume level without changing the ringer and alarm volume levels...it keeps you from inadvertently turning down the ringer or alarm volume and missing calls and alarms.
That being said, there's no way to totally disable the volume up/down buttons from doing something volume related.

I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:
