Problem viewing TV through HDMI cable- displays unavailable

I am unable to see my mac on my TV (Samsung Smart TV), I have a Macbook Pro from mid 2010, connected with a Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable, and the latest software update, OSX 10.9.1, when I go to Displays I can not see gather windows, or any other display than the main one. My TV stays black and does not recognize the display.

I have this problem sometimes when my TV wouldn't recognize the connection. I've found that it is the Belikin cable. After a few tries of wiggling it around and repositioning the cable, it always works. I think purchasing a better cable would probably solve that problem, but I've always been able to get mine to work with a little patience.

No sound through HDMI cable

I have an HP Phenom DV7-4178NR. Audio works fine on the PC. Audio also works fine with the HDMI cable through other devices. I know it's a problem with the laptop and not the cable.
Under device manager, display adaptors it says: AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 425.
Under sound video and game controlers it lists:
ATI High definition audio device
Bluetooth hands-free audio
hp webcam splitter
IDT high definition audio CODEC
Also I'm using window's 7.
Any help please?

no ideas anyone?..

No audio through HDMI cable when listening to audio tracks but ok with vids

Please Help!!
Ok I hooked up my HP to my Samsung 1080p hdtv through an HDMI cable. My computer displays fine on the TV, the visualizer in ITunes shows just fine, but the audio only comes out of the speakers on my laptop when playing a regular music track. When it plays one of the bonus music videos on the same album, audio and video both play. When I play the songs in any other interface, ie windows media player and HP quick play, audio tracks play fine through HDMI. So this has to be something with ITunes. Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks!

Wouldn't you know it, just figured it out. You have to make sure that itunes is not loaded before hooking up the HDMI cable. So,
turn off itunes,
hook up the HDMI cable,
(go to sound [control panel] and make sure that HDMI has the checkmark next to it),
load itunes,
enjoy.

MBP to an a/v receiver via dvi to hdmi cable, display not detected?

So as the title says, I'm trying to connect my MBP to a Sony str-dg510 a/v receiver in this order:
MBP >
Mini Displayport to dvi connector (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4ODk2OTE ) >
dvi to hdmi cable (http://www.amazon.com/DVI-HDMI-Cable-6ft-Male-Male/dp/B0002CZHN6 ) >
Sony STR-dg510 AV Receiver >
Analog TV.
And here's the issue: I'm not getting a second display detected at all. It is an analog connection from the AV receiver to the TV, and I've connected other laptops to the receiver just fine, albeit on a different input.
So I'm not sure where to go from here, the mini displayport to dvi works fine onto an apple display at work.
I also got an unlock message on the receiver at first and thought this may be the issue, so I got an optical audio cable similar to this: (http://www.ramelectronics.net/audio-video/audio-cables/digital-audio-optical-tos link-cable/poft3ps/prodPOFT3PS.html )
And now the sound plays fine, but still no picture (and the unlock message is gone.)
Any idea's?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community Q62.
If it works fine on another TV but not directly with this TV, the problem is with your TV or your cables. Have you eliminated the cables.

No sound through HDMI cable after upgrading to Lion

After upgrading to lion I can not get any sound through my hdmi cable connected to the TV. It did work before. There is no optional source to choose under "Sound" - only internal speakers. How can that be? Any suggestions what to do?

You arent the only one.
I guess that is a thunderbolt bug and needs to be fixed by apple.

IPad 2 is not sending DD 5.1 Audio through HDMI cable

Hi,
I have an iPad 2 connected through Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter HDMI cable and I am not getting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio in my AVR while watching iTunes Festival 2014.
Is there any workaround for this?
Using Apple TV 3rd generation I get Dolby Digital 5.1 audio in my AVR.
iTunes Festival 2014 is all about music and I can't get DD 5.1??

You're right. There's such an option like this while playing iTunes Festival but no audio settings available for this.
I tried a movie and the movie did stream Dolby Digital 5.1 audio to my AVR, so there's no connectivity issues or capabilities there. But, Dobly Digital 5.1 is not available for iTunes Festival played from iPad 2!! so annoying because it's available from Apple TV. :S

Problem viewing data through autogenerated java class

I have a AQ created with a custom data types as below.
User type definition
type clr_msg_type as object(
firm_id number,
b_com_id number,
cl_com_id number,
action varchar2(15),
action_id varchar2(15),
user_id varchar2(30),
clr_status varchar2(20),
p_id number,
message_type varchar2(50) );
I am having issues with viewing the above object which is the payload on the AQ.
I see "???" for all the variables except b_com_id,cl_com_id and firm_id. rest of the variable I see as "???" when I try to run the debugger.
To map the above object I used jpublisher to auto generate the java class which has getters and setters for the above variables.
I used below command to generate the class.
jpub -user=username/password -sql=CAT.CLEARING_MSG_TYPE -case=mixed -usertypes=jdbc -methods=false -url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.134.124.210:1450:dev5
I have below files in my classpath.
C:\oracle-jpublisher\sqlj\lib\translator.jar;C:\oracle-jpublisher\sqlj\lib\runtime12.jar;C:\oracle-jpublisher\sqlj\lib\
ojdbc14.jar;C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jlib\orai18n.jar;
I can view data in the below variables:
firm_id number,
b_com_id number,
cl_com_id number,
But I see "???" in the below variables:
action varchar2(15),
action_id varchar2(15),
user_id varchar2(30),
clr_status varchar2(20),
p_id number,
message_type varchar2(50) );
Any idea why this is happening?

if the data is there ( and I can't see why it's not) then the issue is actually printing it on the paper and the issue may be with the font not working with this printer if the static text always prints ( and is in BOLD) then lets just try that and if it works and you can verify that is the issue then you will know where to solve the issue.

I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer was updated. Help pls

I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer performed all software updates, and I even tried calling Apple Support. They just told me to keep trying different hdmi cables and see if anything pops up. Does anybody know what the problem is? My HDMI cable is from "rocketfish" also my display port is too.

You may have the screen refresh rate set higher than the TV is generally able to track reliably. It may be able to get there most times, but occasionally loses sync because it is out of its nominal range.
I suggest you sit down with the manual for the TV and find out what resolutions at what refresh rates it intends to support through VGA, and make sure your screen settings are near (or below) those limits.

Satellite A100-784 - Connect to TV via HDMI cable

Hi Friends,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-784 PSAANE laptop. Its a discontinued product now :-( I am just wondering If I can connect that laptop with Sony Bravia LED TV through HDMI cable.
I am not able to find If the laptop is compatible for it.
Please help me a way to find a solution to connect it to the LED TV and how to do it? Please also help with the cables required for the same.
Sorry guys I am quite naive to the HDMI business.
Thanks for all the help,
regards,
Meghal

> I am just wondering If I can connect that laptop with Sony Bravia LED TV through HDMI cable.
You cannot do that because the notebook does not support HDMI.
As far as I know your LCD TV should support the VGA or s-video interface.
So you can purchase a VGA cable or s-video cable to get the notebook connected.
You should read the user manual or your TV and notebook to get more details about connection possibilities.

Which type of HDMI cable?

i have Hp pavillion dv6-6121tx laptop and i want it to connect with my TV through HDMI cable.Which type of cable should i buy 1.3B or 1.4B or they just don't matter?please tell me

Please see this Wikipedia article entitled "HDMI" for a comparision of the different revision numbers. For most applications, it doesn't matter if you use v1.3b or 1.4b.... But getting the newest revision gives you the flexibility to use the latest and greatest if you choose to.
Please send KUDOs

5.1 sound in Safari through HDMI?

Hello all!
I recently bought a new pro retina 15".
I connected through HDMI cable to my Denon AVR 1713 as my old laptop used to be.
What a surprise when starting an oline video on Safari, I couldn't get 5.1 sound in my speakers connected to the denon.
I tried everything I've found in this forum, configuring MIDI settings for 5.1 system. But nothing seems to work.
I like to see videos online and via some other programs such VLC
Is this normal? Some way to overcome this?
Thanks a lot
Best Regards

The sound comes from an editor who is a pro and knows how to deliver 5.1.
I also have premiere ( 5.5 ) so I guess I can import the film and the audio in there and then export for a convert to DCP.
Or if I understand you right I can use a CDP processing software like
http://www.magnamana.com/finaldcp-released/
and there I import still images and the sound seperate?
That´s how it works?

How do I make it so I can browse the internet through my mac but view it on my tv? (I have an HDMI cable)

I bought an HDMI cable (and adapter for my Macbook Pro), but I don't want to purchase Apple TV. All I want is to make it so I can view programs such as the internet on my tv... sort of like a larger monitor.

Connect the adapter to your MacBook, put the HDMI cable into that adapter and the second cable end into your TV HDMI input slot. Then select that HDMI source on your TV.
That should do it.
If not, check the display settings on your MacBook.
