Retina macbook log out with HDMI Connection

My macbook pro with retina display has a HDMI port, as most people know, however, every time I connect a display with HDMI, i get logged out, with my session completely lost. Any ideas?
I'm running OSX 10.8.2

I'm having the exact same issue with my retina display Macbook as well. Anyone found a solution yet? Very annoying when it kills my whole session!

How to stop MBP with Retina from logging out when HDMI plugged in?

When I plug in my TV to the new HDMI out port on the MBP +Retina, the screen turns blue (like it used to on my Mac Air), the resolution changes, but then when the sceen comes back I am at the login screen. Not only am I logged out, but all my apps that were open were crashed (not quit).
Anybody experience this? How do I fix it?
Thanks!

You're not alone. For me ther'es no HDMI in use, it happens when it's not connected to anything. At first I had thought it was tied into VLC since it happened consistently there at first, but for the last week it's been happening anytime, no VLC running. I'm trying to track it down as well so while I have no resolution yet, at least you know you're not alone. VERY frustrating since I do a lot of file work and hate it when it does this part way through a 20GB file copy...

I have 2 macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only loged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk

I have 2 Macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only logged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk. Is it possible to update her account on my macbook using her external disk without overwriting my stuff on the same Macbook and vice versa?

Time Machine does not do individual accounts. It records the complete drive. So if you were to use her TM backup on your Mac it would make your Mac just like hers. Both yours and her account on your MAC.
Just copy the missing files over from her Mac to yours. If there are differennt programs on each then they would need to be installed on both.

Black display macbook pro with HDMI connection

Hi I connected my macbook pro 15" to a samsung 24" display with HDMI moshi adapter.
Sometimes both display (samsung and MB) became black and I can't turn it on even if I disconnect my adapter. The only way is to turn off the macbook pro .
Here it's my problem log.
Thanks for your help!

MacBook Pro 2012 retina frequently logging out

hi, i’m on a MacBookPro 2012 retina, running 10.7.4. Every once in a while i experience my machine logging me out without any reason. I also can’t find a pattern in these occurences. And it’s not just switching to the Login-window, but really logging out. Apps fire up quite fast after logging in again and Photoshop opening recovered files, but this is still annoying.
Anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
Thanks for any thoughts!

I don’t know if this is not liked, but i have the feeling i need to bump this up. So sorry if this bump-thing is not ok.
Problem still there and no clue why.

MacBook logs out after being put to sleep.

In detail: having previously closed my macbook mid work, and gone off to do something else, I reopen it to be greeted with the black screen and "to access this computer..." dialogue as normal. I type in my password, hit enter, get a brief blue screen (of the apple variety) and then am confronted with the log in page, and myself logged out.
This only happens occasionally, but is very frustrating - as any unsaved work is lost and any normal "save?" dialogues appear to have been ignored.
My macbook is set to sleep when I close the lid, and has no timer set to log out.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.

Try a SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Audio from MacBook to TV with HDMI not working?

I recently purchased a HDMI cord for my MacBook, but I don't seem to get any audio from my TV when it's hooked up. I've had no problems getting the image to display on my TV, but the sound won't work. I've already gone through System Preferences to see if there was even an option for output and the only one I saw was for my internal speakers. I had previously just hooked up my computer to a set of external speakers by by TV with an auxiliary cable, but I no longer have the speakers and need to find a different option.
Many thanks in advance for your help!

The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports.
The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio. If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug.
The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. Check your TV manual to see if it has audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

When you change your Apple ID Password does it log out all the connected accounts?

When you change your apple id password does it log out all the accounts synced to it or connected?

You will need to logout of the account on all clients after changing the password, then login with the new one.

Retina Macbook Pro PHY MODE not connecting to 801.11n... slow wi-fi!

I've had the Retina Macbook Pro for about 3 weeks and im really getting tired of the slow wi-fi connection this past week! I tried looking at the advanced wi-fi options (opt+click on the icon) and the PHY MODE always says 801.11g. Heres the catch: I did the same thing on my iMac and it says 802.11n!
I tested this in a few ways:
speedtest on the retina macbook: 2-4 mb/s
speedtest on iMac: 12-15 mb/s
speedtest on iPad: 12-15 mb/s
speedtest on friends PC laptop: 10-15 mb/s
Really crappy speeds on the retina macbook right? I'm about to throw this out the window! Also, I resetted my Netgear WNR2000 router to factory settings 2-3 times just to make sure I'm not overlooking anything on there.
Any way that I can change the PHY MODE to 802.11n on the macbook? or should I bring it into apple and have them check to see if the network adapter is faulty?

I have found a solution!
I took the laptop to apple 'genius' bar and they could not figure out the problem. They told me to download mountain lion to see if it would work. Didnt work! So there was one thing left for me to try: BUY A DUAL CHANNEL ROUTER.
After purchasing that and connecting to the 5ghz channel (make sure you're on WPA2 as well) my speeds are fast like my other devices. I'm assuming the laptop is sensitive to these things! Kinda stupid but oh well; makes sense as the channel is clear from other devices on my network.
So if you're still having these problems try buying a new dual channel router. If it still doesn't work, return the router and have apple repair your laptop (or take it back if you still can).

MacBook logs out intermittenly without warning!

My mothers MacBook completely logs out randomly for absolutely NO reason. I've opened Safari then tried using my main toolbar at the top and BAM logs out. I opened photo booth and before it could finish loading BAM logs out. Also, errors keep popping up "photo booth has unexpectedly quit" or "safari has unexpectedly quit". I've been able to keep firefox open long enough to create this post because i have been avoiding the toolbar. As soon as i go up to the top to click file, edit, view, history, etc... it immediately logs out completely. i have never seen anything like this i have no idea what to do or where to start looking for the problem. i have a slight feeling it may be from something like an email attachment she has downloaded that contained a virus. but i do not know enough about computers to know. PLEASE HELP WITH ANY IDEA OR THOUGHTS!

Log out of computer -- logs out of Internet connection also?

I would like to Log out of my account for a minute, to log in again, making a GUI system enhancement work from something I did with ShapeShifter. I never log out; I always shut down the computer when I'm done with it. So the internet is always working properly when I turn the computer back on. If I log out, does the Internet connection/IP reset? Or do anything else where I would need to log in some foreign way? (foreign as in, not my regular name and password log in).
The way I need to Log out

I ask because if I need to log in some foreign way, I don't remember any of those kind of log in details, or Internet activation procedures. And I can't phone my Internet Service Provider at the moment to ask for help.
Thx.

I answered my own question. It works regularly.

Do HD boxes come with HDMI connection?

With a new install do the HD boxes have an HDMI connection and cable? No DVR just standard box.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

According to their manuals, all 8 HD models of STB and DVRs have both HDMI and coaxial cable outputs. However, I know personally that my old model 6416 is an HD DVR and does not have a coaxial cable output. I used to use a composite to coaxial cable adapter (supplied at the time of install, but also available for about $20) before I got a new TV. So the answer is yours will probably have both, but may not have coaxial cable output.
Or did I mis-read the question? If you were asking if they came with an HDMI cable, the answer is that the installer will usually supply all the necessary accessories to get you up and running. When I got my first HD box (self-install) they sent me an HDMI cable with it.

Flash Log Outs with Snow Leopard

Getting a ton flash log -outs. MIddle of doing something and computer just logs out.
Never seen this before in 6 years on Macs. Thought it was spaces, but happens with it disables. Have no idea what it could be.

Had my first one of these today. Fortunately didn't lose anything despite having many open applications. I was using Word and Excel 2004 and playing music through iTunes Airtunes. Other apps open included: Pages, Mail, Safari, NetNewsWire, Omnifocus, Omnioutliner, Textedit, Preview, Nottingham, Quicktime 7.
The tipping point seemed to be opening iMovie 09 and trying to adjust the white balance in some HD footage. The preview would reflect the change for a moment then return to the original; I kep trying then iMovie hung. Then Excel declared that autosave had been disable due to some problem. Seconds later the screen went blue and I was returned to the log in screen.
Perhaps my experience will help someone find out the reason?

Can I use any external monitor with HDMI connection

Yes

Accidentally logging out with 5 finger swipe

Hey guys quick question. Has anyone experienced accidentally logging out or shutting down when using 5 finger to minimize all windows. I know you can do it with 4 but I typically use 5 since I use 4 for mission control. It's random but happens almost everyday now.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
