Hi, how did you solve your problem? Im having the exact same issue.
"When connected to the TV via the Thunderbolt-HDMI cable, a blue screen briefly appears on the Macbook. However, when looking in System Preferences/ Displays, there is no trace of any external screen. Many of the forums I have read say there should be an "Arrangement" tab, but this is not appearing on mine."
plus the cable works on my boyfriend's Macbook Air, which is an older version than mine.
I have the Macbook Air Version 10.8.4, bought July 2013 (newest version).
Can someone help me?
Thanks

  • E3000 - WoL - Works Once, But Then Not Again

    Greetings,
    I am using WoL for one of the PC's connected to a E3000 on my home network.  I can successfully power on the PC from S3 (standby) or S5 (power off) state one or more times, but after a certain amount of time the E3000 fails to send packets to the destination PC and it fails to wake.
    Logging indicates packets are being received by the router.  They just stop being forwarded to the destination after a certain period of time.  I haven't measured this time exactly. 
    Research indicates that the router might be removing the destination PC's IP from it's ARP table, which in turn makes the PC unreachable until it is manually powered on and off again (S5) or put into standby (S3). 
    It works reliably and consistently, then stops within a few hours.  The issue is not related to power management on the NIC.  As I said, packets on the WAN are received successfully from the outside.  Packets on the LAN are also received, but not forwarded for wake.
    I am using various utilities to wake.  All work well.

    Magic Packet
    Mocha VNC for iPhone   
    Does anyone have ideas what can be done to make waking the PC consistent?  The only other thing I haven't tried is manually inputting the static IP on the NIC...  the same IP that is reserved for it's MAC address set up on the E3000.  
    Thanks In Advance

    Go to Solution.

    For Wake on LAN to work on a computer, it must have the following:
    •   A wired connection to an active computer network
    •   Motherboard
    •   Network adapter and adapter driver that supports the standard Magic Packet format
    •   Computer basic input/output system (BIOS) configured for WoL
    •   An operating system that supports WoL
    •   All routers between the remote location and computer required to WoL must allow IP directed broadcasts and support IPv4

  • How to connect imac to tv using thunderbolt to hdmi cable

    I'm trying to connect my mid 2011 iMac to my tv. I have a thunderbolt to hdmi cable that I purchased. I connected the thunderbolt port to the iMac and connected the hdmi port to the tv. I turned on both devices and the tv is not getting the signal. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.
    Although I don't have thunderbolt, since you can plug mini-displayport into a TB socket, then like mini-displayport, they a a little sneaky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in the socket.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click detect displays.  Then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz).  You should see a picture at this point.
    You may have to play the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.
    Also, you need to set your Sound preferences to output to the HDMI connection.

  • Connect to 2 external displays using 2 thunderbolt to hdmi cables

    I have a new iMac which has 2 thunderbolt ports.  I was told that I can add 2 displays using these ports with thunderbolt to hdmi cables.  However when I do this only one screen connects.  The other remains blank (and off).

    Hello, I wonder if HDMI isn't the problem?
    It's supposed to...

  • Link to tabbed panel works once, but not again

    I have successfully linked from text in one tabbed panel to open another panel on the same page, using SpryURLUtils.js.
    <a href="?tab=2#TabbedPanels1">
    var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1", {defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0});
    When I return to the panel containing the link, the link no longer functions. So basically, it will work once, but not twice.
    Thoughts on what's happening?

    The example that you gave is great for opening a tab in a new page.To open panels on the same page see here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tabbed_panel_sample.htm

  • My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices,  It attempts to download new email but then stops.  Any ideas?

    My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices,  It attempts to download new email but then stops.  Any ideas?

    I, too, am having a problem with my Yahoo email account on my first generation IPad. I can't download my emails to my IPad from the server. The IPad looks like it's trying to download them but can't do it. I am able to send emails from my IPad with my Yahoo account.
    This problem started yesterday, Aug., 25th, the day after I uploaded the last update from Apple. I am able to set up another email account through Sbcglobal that will download my emails to my IPad but it is not sync'ed with my desktop mail which creates a mess when I move or delete emails.
    I've tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. Also I've reset my IPad and I've done a full restore.
    I think it has something to do with the last update, which I believe was a security update, which may have reset the firewall. That's just a guess.
    Has anyone figures out anything else?

    The screen on my macbook has malfunction. When I change the brightness to zero and return to the first level of brightness it works briefly but then the screen starts to flicker brightness and quickly extinguished. It seems to be a bad contact, it would not be normal for a quality product that should have, he has less than two years of use. Not because of the bad use or crash. Someone with the same problem or can help me? It's really a contact problem? I've done all the procedures recommended by the online support. Thanks.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!
