Onkyo SR705 HDMI-DVI switching problem..

I just bought myself an Onkyo SR705 with built in HDMI switching. At first, I thought my monitor having problems with the switch or my mac pro not detecting it. Then i turned on my PS3 and it works. Mac detects the receiver. But no picture comes out if it. Previously, i had a TERK 2-in-1 switch and that works well.
Gateway FPD2275W DVI-HDMI > Onkyo > mac pro HDMI-HDMI with HDMI to DVI adaptor.
what do i need to do with the mac or the setup in general to fix this problem?
my monitor supports 1080i, and supports HDCP.

ill answer my own question.
found out the switch does not support full HD resolutions. Supported Max at 1280x1024 and also 1024x768.. probably my video card doesn't support it either? eh.. for anybody who is wondering why it dont work.

HDMI/DVI adapter problem?

I've had the 1st gen Apple TV since it came out and have loved it. It has worked fine on my 5 year old Sony HDTV. Since this tv does not have HDMI inputs (has an DVI input), i used an HDMI/DVI adapter and this worked fine up till now.
Yesterday i got the new apple TV and tried hooking it up to my tv. But the picture was displayed in 4:3, low resolution (looked to be 480i), and was a little "wavy".
Is the problem that my TV is not compatible with the new apple TV?
Or i was thinking that maybe i need to get a new HDMI/DVI adapter. the one i have is a few years old. are the newer adapters on the market have new/better technology?
thanks for anyones help. i really don't want to have to replace my tv or return my new apple tv

I've been pulling my hair out on this. I have a Sony KV-34XBR800 with a DVI port that supports HDCP. According to the manual the HD suport is 1080i and 720p ..... perhaps also 480p and 480i, but i'm not sure if the latter two are supported on the DVI port. I've tried two types of cables/adapters with the ATV2 and just get a black blank screen. No picture, no apple logo ... nothing.
The audio and Airplay work great using the optical connector. And when I connect the ATV2 to my daughters newer Bravia the video works great. But on the older Sony .... nothing.
I can't believe that this is a cable problem, but since that's the only component that I have the power to change out ... that's what i've been doing.
Any other suggestions? I'd prefer to not go out and have to buy a new TV or tuner to get a $99 box working !!!!

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
Thomas

I 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.

My TV has a combined HDMI/DVI slot, and says I can't connect my TV and Mac. Is there anything I can buy to fix this?

I have been looking all over the net to see if there was something that I could buy to troubleshoot this problem, and I've had no luck with this. I'm running OSX on my 2007 iMac, and know what I would need to get to connect my computer to my TV. The only thing is, the TV has a combined HDMI/DVI. I looked on Samsungs website, and it said that because of this, I can't connect the 2. "
Many of Samsung's 2005 and 2006 model TVs have a combined HDMI/DVI input jack. You cannot use the combined HDMI/DVI jack to connect your 2005 or 2006 model Samsung TV to your computer's DVI video output jack. If your Samsung TV has an HDMI only jack, you cannot use the HDMI jack to connect your Samsung TV to your computer's DVI video output jack. Samsung's 2005 and 2006 TVs do not support DVI to HDMI computer video connections."
I am at a complete loss right now and have a feeling that there is nothing I can do about it. I do have the Roku connected to my TV, and bc I don't have the HDMI spot, we have to use the RGB slots to connect it. The Roku does have a HDMI slot to connect it to a TV with one, and even thought that maybe I could connect something to that to connect my computer to my TV. I've pretty much decided that if I can't get an answer in the Mac community, then there isn't going to be a way for me to connect the two. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance! - Patrick

You tv probably has 2 seperate inputs, DVI and HDMI. You will need one these adapters if you want to connect via HDMI however on a machine as old as yours neither the HDMI or DVI will only output video, not audio.

If you want to use the HDMI you will need:

Finally OS X has been available for well over a decade. Please look at About this Mac (click the Apple symbol in the upper left corner of the display. Then look to see what version of OS X is installed.

Macbook Pro Thunderbolt and HDMI displays switch on wake up

Hi there,
Currently using a late 2013 15" Macbook Pro., latest version of Mavericks. I have one display hooked up through Thunderbolt->DVI, with a second set up through HDMI->DVI.
There seems to be an issue where on waking the monitors up from sleep mode (about 10 minutes inactivity time) the displays will turn on, immediately go black (inlcuding the Macbook Pro screen), and then switch such that all windows on one are now on the other.
I can't really repliate this, as it seems to just happen randomly. All I can say in my detective work, is that the HDMI->DVI hooked-up monitor tends to take a little more time to turn on after sleep, whereas the Thunderbolt->DVI monitor comes up immediately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I've noticed that the HDMI connection seems to lag the Thunderbolt on wake as well. I haven't had the switching issue, though. I use my Thunderbolt display as the primary (menu bar in the preferences) - maybe try doing that if you're using your HDMI out as the primary.
You can always try resetting the SMC and PRAM as well.

Mini DVI switch

Hi,
I have two mini DVI adapters for my iMac. One to VGA to connect it to my second screen for working and one to Video to connect it to my TV as a media center.
Is there something like a mini DVI switch with that I can connect both adapter to switch between second screen and TV and don't have to unplug the adapters everytime?

I don't know of any such product. If the TV is also connected over VGA, you can probably connect a VGA switch to the end of one of one of those mini-DVI adapters and then connect your TV and second display to the switch. If the TV is an HDTV and connects with HDMI, or an older one that uses composite, then that would not work.
Alternately, you can dedicate the mini-DVI port to the TV connection. And get one of these adapters that lets you connect a display using USB

Just make sure you read the description (particularly the max resolution) to ensure it meets your needs.

DVI Switch Apple 20" Cinema PC and Mac

Hi i have recently purchased a DVI switch so that i am able to swap the output to my 20" Apple Cinema Monitor between my Windows PC and my PowerMac G4. the switch its self works perfect i am using apples ADC to DVI convertor which is plugged into the the switches output and the DVI outputs from the PC and Mac are going into the switches inputs, The problem i have is that when i switch to the PC and then back to the Mac my Mac seems to sleep the DVI output on the graphics card and i am unable to wake it up, so i have been resorting to a reboot before the monitor displays an output for the Mac, I have noticed that whilst the Mac is booting i can switch back and forth and it functions as intended which leads me to believe that this sleeping the output is a function of the OS, does anyone know how i can solve this problem. many Thanks

You may need a DVI Detective between the Mac and the DVI switch.

DVI Switch

I'd like to use my Cinema display with my Macbook Pro as well as my Deskpro. Any suggestions on a good quality DVI switch. Not really interested in the KVM features.

THE PROBLEM
I had one CRT VGA monitor, one LCD VGA monitor and One 'Apple DVI to TV adaptor' but only two DVI-I outputs available on my Quad G5. I wanted to switch easily from my VGA LCD monitor to TV Adaptor using the second DVI-I output as the urge took me. The other DVI output was for my main monitor which I didn't want to mess with.
But there are no DVI-I switches that don't cost less then £50/€70/$96. Most switch just the digital part of the DVI-I output anyway. These are DVI-D switches. No good to me. It baffles me why there aren't any DVI-A monitor switches. The only difference from VGA monitor switches is that DVI-A sockets would be required.
I invested in a cheap 'Female DVI-I (the Apple TV Adaptor is DVI) to Male VGA adaptor' but there was something wrong with it as the Apple TV Adaptor refused to work.
After much searching on the internet I couldn't find out what the pins on the Apple TV Adaptor where. So like any good geek I found out for myself.
Here is what I found and ultimately how to make a 'VGA to Apple TV Adaptor'. I now use a cheap VGA monitor switch I got second hand to switch easily from VGA monitor to Apple TV Adaptor. Work and play are only a quick switch away. Total cost €9/$12/£6.
All the information you need is here:-

I hope this helps a few people. I know I could've done with it.

Minidisplay Port HDMi - DVI - VGA

Hello there..
i have a minidisplayport HDMI and i want to connect to an external monitor with vga.
I have connected a vga adaptar to dvi adaptar to minidisplay port hdmi.
The problem is that the macosx recognize the model of monitor but in monitor says " no video input"
Anybody can help me ?
tks

A mDP to HDMI adapter won't pass analog (VGA) signals. You're going to need an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter.

Question # 3 about the HDMI-DVI cable

OK...My older DVD player is working just fine with the component video cable.
Now let's suppose that DVD player eventually stops working and I replace it with a new one.
On the newer DVD players, does the HDMI-DVI cable take the place of the component video cable or do both cables need to be used? Can the newer DVD players function with just the HDMI-DVI cable alone?

I actually just answered my own question right before I saw your reply. But thank you for confirming what I thought. That makes a lot of sense. I already have my existing DVD player set up with the component video cable and you are correct about needing an audio cable. I learned that through a process of elimination when I was setting that up and I have plenty of extra audio cables in my closet, so we're definitely on the same wavelength. My existing DVD player doesn't have the HDMI capability but the component video cable is fine. Now I just have a better understanding of how this works. I believe that my existing DVD player is analog but it's very good and I will glady keep it until it goes.
I was also just fooling with my TV settings. On my "source" list, I had had TV selected as source but I switched it to HDMI, which is what I already connected to my HDTV --- what a difference in sound and picture quality.

I originally set up my mini with the included HDMI -> DVI adaptor to connect to a Sycmaster monitor. The graphics were very good.
