My iMac no longer can display to a secondary monitor

I had my iMac connected to a Samsung TV via the following:
iMac --> displayport cable to DVI --> DVI to HDMI adaptor --> Samsung TV
After doing some updates on OSX Mavericks this no longer works. The TV detects that there is something because the input is listed as active but nothing is passing through to the TV to display. The iMac does not show that there is a secondary display.
Does anybody know what I can try or is this setup disabled by Apple now with updates? What is

Hello Peter,
When is the last time you used iDisk??? To my understanding Apple discontinued it July 1st, along with MobileMe, iWeb, etc., in favor of iCloud!

  • CS5 Playback Settings grayed out and no longer can set playback on external monitor.

    I like to view my projects while editing on an external monitor but the Playback Settings are grayed out. I've done all my prior projects with external monitor display enabled with no problems and can go back to a prior projects completed and view them using an external playback monitor.  For some reason, the Playback Settings on my latest project are grayed out and I'm not able to set Desktop Video Display During Playback.
    The last project worked on was about 3 months ago. Last week, I started working on two new projects and noticed that I wasn't able to set playback to my external monitor. All my devices are hooked up and I can review older projects on the external monitor but can't set two new projects to use display on the external monitor.  
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Problem solved. My fault.
    The Sequence Preset Settings selected must support the device the external monitor is connected to. In my case, IEEE 1394 firewire. I corrected the new project to the correct Sequence Settings and can now view playback on the external monitor.

    "The Desktop Video 9.7.5 software update allows users to take advantage of many new features in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications such as powerful new editing timelines and shortcuts and audio mixing with Adobe Premiere Pro® CC and new creative and visual effects tools with Adobe After Effects® CC."
    So everything should be covered on that front. And as I listed, I was getting playback out of AE CC, so I feel it is solely an issue in Premiere. That was worth checking out though since CC is so new. Thanks for replying.

  • Why I can't set my secondary monitor as main one.

    I have some problem in setting my Dell 2405fpw as main monitor on Macbook.
    I use boot camp to use windows XP pro sp2 in work and always use secondary monitor. But when I setting my Dell 2405fpw or Samsung LSA18TFT Monitor as main monitor, Windows doesn't work as I want. Windows reset Macbook's LCD as main display and Secondary Monitor black out(Using Just One Macbook's LCD). But When I set Macbook's LCD as main monitor and other monitor as sub one, It works well.
    I tried everything during last ten days. Upgrading Intel Graphic Driver and Trying with other brand monitors, finding Korean Apple User Forum, sending mail to Intel Supporting, and so on. But it didn't work.
    In Korea Apple User Forum, Some user have same symptom with me. There are a lot kinds of case. Someone has latest Macbook and uses latest MAC OS X 10.5.1. But have same problem.
    There are anyone solve this problem perfectly?

    Hi,
    I'm having a silly problem with Access 2010. I can't modify the Detail section ("Corpo" in Italian) of a Form or a Report.
    Neither using the onLoad nor the onOpen events.
    What am I doing wrong? I load a micro example in my
    one drive, if you would spend some time helping me.
    Thanks in advance, Lauro
    You should be able to size the detail section of the Form in the open event or onload event.
    I don't have 2010 on my PC. Why not post the sample code here?

  • How to display SubVI on secondary monitor using remote panels?

    I am trying to have a SubVI called from a Main VI open on a secondary monitor.  I am using Remote Panels to control my Main application, which is opened in a web browser on the secondary monitor.  I have tried setting the VI Properties - Window Run-Time Position - Monitor to "1" and also tried setting this value programatically using the Front Panel Property Node but neither seems to work.  My SubVI still appears on my primary monitor.
    I'm using LV 8.6.1 RT and my application is running on a CRIO.
    I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Dan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Mike,
    All the SubVI does is prompt the user for some text.  The front panel is a simple string control.  The SubVI is called from my Main application (not using VI Server) and I have the Window Properties for the SubVI set so that the front panel opens when called, and closes when finshed.  The SubVI displays teh fornt panel when called but does not open a new browser window.  I have attached the SubVI in case you want ot have a look.

  • After having replaced the iMac hard drive I no longer can make iTunes security backups from my iPhone 4S?

    After having had my iMac's hard drive replaced (had a defect 1 TB Seagate) and the 10.8.2 reinstalled, I no longer can make security backups from my iPhone 4S. iTunes simply tells me that the backup cannot be saved on my computer (which it has done numerous times prior the replacement of the hard drive). Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Click the green jelly button at top left of iTunes window to resize the screen to fit.

  • Can I use iMac display as an external monitor with a pc?

    I have a Windows laptop with VGA output. Can I connect this laptop's VGA output to mini display port of my 27" iMac?

    This can't be done. VGA is an audio signal and there are no converters to turn it into a digital Display Port (DP) or Mini Display Port (MDP) signal. DVI and HDMI are digital signals (with HDMI having audio and a different physical connector) that can be converted into an MDP signal, but doing so requires an expensive converter or an even more expensive converter and scaler if you want to get full resolution on the target display. The cheaper but perhaps more complicated alternative is to replace your PC video card with a DP/MDP card after which you should be able to drive the 27" iMac display without any converter. Apple didn't include DVI/HDMI input capability in the 27" iMac because that would have required additional circuitry that would have raised the price substantially.

  • Can I connect to iMac 27" as external display?

    I'm considering buying 2 iMac 27" to run Windows 7.
    Can I connect these two together so iMac 1 can use iMac 2 as external display and visa versa.
    In other words... is the mini display port both for input and output?
    If yes... does this work under Windows 7 as well?

    I just love Mac hardware, and an iMac (two in my case) on a desk is just such a nice clean setup, with only one cable. Just counted 16 cables for my current PC mini tower setup with 2 screens - don't ask
    Just so you know, I'm well aware of Apple's "cableless" marketing for this thing. But on my new iMac, I actually only have a single port, the FW800, that doesn't have a cable sticking out of it.
    But Mac OSX is just not a nice operating system IMO
    At least we can use you as an example of a 100% legitimate Mac owner of a Windows OEM install.
    Anyway... I just ordered 2 x 27" iMac's. If i somehow succeeds in getting them connected in Windows, I'll post here... if not feel free to ask me, in 6 months.
    Please do post back, because if someone tries it, then everyone will know if it works. I have seen reports of a PC driving the iMac display and I have done it with my MacBook Pro. I'm still not 100% sure that two iMacs will cooperate in this way. They both have the same cable connected to the same input/output port. Which one is the target? I have never heard of Windows or any PC hardware having the ability to convert a video port to input, so Windows would have to be the broadcaster. You may need MacOS X to detect the input and use it instead of trying to send out its own signal. Hopefully this won't short out the video circuitry on both.
    And in 6 months when you are reinstalling Windows to clean off all the malware, you can still use the Mac machine

  • Can a 2012 Mac Pro use a 2012 27in iMac as a primary display?

    Greetings all,
    I am trying to spec out a trade show configuration. It will have a Mac Pro, A couple iMacs, a few Macbook Pros
    and a couple iPads. What I need to know is if one of the iMacs can serve as the display for the Mac pPro. The money
    is not an issue, but the number of cases to be shipped might be problematic.
    Once again, this is NEW hardware 2012 iMac and 2012 Mac pro.
    Any advice sent my way would be useful.
    Cheers,
    Kev

    Unfortunately currently no because the current Mac Pro's do not support Thunderbolt output which is the only method to use the current iMac's in Target Display Mode. However you can get external displays such as the Apple LED display that can be used as an external display for the Mac Pro and an iMac.
    Here is an article that discusses Target Display Mode:

  • I have bought a Apple iMac with Retina 5K display! Can I use it with all my Adobe Creative Cloud

    I have bought a Apple iMac with Retina 5K display yesterday! But today I read something negative about this Imac regarding to to Adobe Creative Cloud, - so I would ask if I can use this iMac with Retina 5K with all my Adobe Creative Cloud programs??
    I have not unpack it yet, so I would be happy if you could tell me if I should keep it or exchange another Mac if this iMac with Retina 5K display does not work OK in Adobe Creative Cloud. I mostly use the programs Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Muse.
    I look forward to hearing from you!

    WOW!!
    That was great to hear.
    I have just read this tread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1626784?start=0&tstart=0
    So therefore I was worry about Illustrator which I use most of all programs.
    Thank you !!

  • I'm in need for a thunderbolt display before December.  My old Imac is like new (don't want to invest in a new Imac yet).  Can I connect the thund-D to the old Imac via USB for the time being?

    Their are some display adaptors you can get. I have an older Mac Pro with DVI but my monitor is a Thunderbolt Display. This used to be around $250. It is way cheaper now.

  • Just installed OSX Mavericks.Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences. I have a magic mouse and my IMac no long recognizes it as such, nor can I scroll with it. What's wrong?

    Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

    Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
    spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.
