SAMSUNG LE32R87BD connect to Mini Mac via HDMI - HELP!

Can anyone confirm that the Mini Mac can connect to the LE32R via HDMI?
IF so - can anyone give me some instructions - I cant get it to work.
When I boot up the black and white DOS like commands come up, but then it goes blank and says "no signal"
Its a 2GHz intel core 2 duo.

Can you please tell us more about the ports, adapters and the cables that you are using?

  • I am using a new Mini Mac via HDMI, I get the First gray screen then nothing else

    I am a First time user of a Mac and I've gone toturn it on fr the first time today, i conected it to a HD ready LCD tv via HDMI and get the first gray 'loading' screen then an 'English' over the speekers then nothing else
    Any help would be apreciated

    Make sure the TV's menu is actually set to connect to that HDMI port.
    Make sure the TV is 1080p and is setup to use that resolution on the HDMI port in question.
    Try zapping the PRAM, by following these instructions:

    how do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable.  The TV says "no signal.  I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system preferences.  what else do I need to do?

    First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
    I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

  • What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

    What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

    Hello Alex,
    It sounds like you are getting excessive CPU usage when connecting an external display via HDMI to your computer. I would try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My Macbook Pro will no longer connect to my tv via HDMI

    Well basically it is in the title, my Macbook Pro will no longer connect to my tv via HDMI.
    I have been using this cable for a long time and works perfectly.
    earlier today i used it to connect my mac up to my parents 4k tv, it worked fine, did what i wanted to do.
    but now when I've come to connect it up to my tv it recognises there is something connected but it won't display anything
    it just says no signal on my tv
    im not sure whether my mac has changed some settings on its own to run on 4k but now to high to run on my 1080p tv
    pretty annoying so any ideas id be very grateful.
    I've already tried
    restarting my mac
    turning tv on and off
    different hdmi ports
    thank you

  • I am trying to connect my Macbook 4.1 Black to my Samsung UE50F6400 using a mini DVI to HDMI adaptor

    I bought the UE50F6400 samrt TV. It has 4 HDMI ports. HDMI 4 is HDMI/DVI, HDMI 3 is normal, HDMI 2 is (ARC) and HDMI 1 is (STB).
    reading the connection diagram it shows Laptops are to be plugged in to HDMI 4 (HDMI/DVI). But when I plug a HDMI cable in and the other end to the adpator while the mini DVI connection is in the Macbook DVI port. All that happens is the Macbook (4.1 black) screen just flashes blue. This is the same for HDMI 1 & 3, however when it is in HDMI 2 (ARC) the Macbook screen displays. I tried switching TV of and rstarting macbook but still no display on TV. I tried changing display setting such as resolutions and refresh rate on the display preferences and still no display on TV.
    Please can someone help?
    I am think I may have to return the Mini DVI to HDMI cable and get a HDMI to DVI > DVI to mini DVI and do it that way, means buying 2 adaptors.

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

  • Sound won't work when my MacBook is connected to my TV via HDMI

    I have my MacBook connected to my HDTV via mini DVI to HDMI and the picture is perfect, but I cannot make the sound work. I've tried going to sound under system preferences but my tv is not listed as a device. Do you know how I can make the sound work?

    You need an audio cable to connect your Mac's audio out port to your TV's audio in port. The minidisplayport does not send sound.

  • How to connect with another Mac via AFP

    My parents have a Mac (10.4.8) which is in a different location than my own. They would like to send me some files however, I thought it would be easier if I could just log into their computer from mine, and grab the files myself.
    How is this done, if at all? I have the AFP address of their computer (file sharing is on as is Apple Talk on both machines) but can't seem to get this to work by using the connect to server command?
    Any help much appreciated!

    If you have broadband internet then why not send the files via email. Quick, simple.
    If your computers can be connected via Ethernet or wireless, then you can use file sharing. However, you must be able to communicate directly. That means connecting an Ethernet cable between the two computers or being able to communicate wirelessly - wireless modem, Ethernet modem connected to a wireless router, and Airport cards in both computers.

  • Hook up mini mac to hdmi tv

    I've used a brand new HDMI cable to connect the new Mac mini to my HDMI monitor, but all I get is a black screen.  Occasionally, if I hit a key on the keyboard, a man's voice starts speaking in what sounds like Russian.  I know the cable works, I know the monitor works.  Why won't they talk to each other?

    Are there any input choices on the TV, like DVR, PC, etc.?

  • Can i connect a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter" to my macbook pro and t.v without having to buy the hdmi adapter?

    I have a macbook pro 13 inch running on mavericks 10.9.2  and i was wondering if i could just use the "Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter" and connect it directly from my computer to my t.v? because i see a lot of people on youtube connecting the "hdmi adapter" to the computer first, then connecting a regular HDMI cord to the adapter, then lastly to the t.v........ Does it make a difference whether or not I connect a "HDMI Display Port" directly from the computer to the t.v without using a adapter to connect with a regular hdmi cord??? what is the adapter really for anyways???

    eric199398,
    without knowing precisely which computers the people on YouTube are using, it’s hard to say whether they’re taking unnecessary steps or not. You should be able to connect the Mini DisplayPort side of a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to your Thunderbolt port, and connect the HDMI side of the adapter to your TV’s HDMI port.

    I was teaching some post processing today using LR5 connected to a 50" Sony TV via HDMI cable and could barely use LR. It took a few attempts to use the brush or gradient tools.
    Did anyone experience this?

  • Connect timecapsule to mac via cable

    I need assistance in connecting my time Time Capsule to my Mac via cable. I bought the Time Capsule on the advice from an Apple store that I could connect via cable without using the WIFI. I am having trouble trying to find instructions on how to do this and I was referred by an Apple store employee that I need to call Apple support. Getting an answer from Apple seems to be troublesome and wasting of my time and money.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Ethernet cable .. not USB.. you can only use ethernet.
    Do you have ethernet setup on the computer with DHCP automatic??
    The airport utility is near useless with ethernet because it totally depends on wireless.. but if you notice the little tiny

    In the top left corner.. when you connect by ethernet.. click it and you will find the option to setup by ethernet.

  • An connect to other Macs via Share Screen, but not RemoteDesktopAdmin

    Please help. I can connect to other Macs on the network via Share Screen, but cannot get a connection using Remote Desktop Admin.  Just keeps being stuck on verify.  Running Lion 10.7.3 with latest Remote Desktop Admin.  All Macs are on the same local ethernet network.  All was fine before update to 10.7.3.

    Thank you Dave for responding.  I did check the above as you mentioned.  In the end, I decided to roll back my mac via  timemachine to it's pre `10.7.3 upadre state.  Not sure why it took me so long to think of that ... perhaps it was just tooo obvious   Anyway, all is now working, and for whatever reason, re-installing the 10.7.3 combo update didn't break Remote Desktop Admin the second time now.  Not a clue way it worked , but glad it did.
