Satellite P50-B-103 - Connect my HDMI output to a VGA monitor

Hello everyone,
I have just bought a satellite *P50-B-103*, which only has a HDMI output and I would like to connect it to an external VGA monitor.
I thought I only need to buy a HDMI - VGA converter but the buyer said to me that Toshiba, unless this model, is not prepared to connect to a VGA monitor although I use a converter.
Is it true or I can connect my laptop to the vga monitor using the converter?
Thanks in advance,
Charly

The point is that HDMI provides digital signal and the VGA (RGB) port support analogue signal.
To be honest I read many articles about such adapters and converters but in many cases such converters are useless.
So its no matter if your notebook was manufactured by Toshiba or other manufacturer.
Itsa matter of the signal standard supported by each port.

Recovering of Satellite P50-B-103 without losing created partitions

Laptop: Satellite P50-B-103
OS: Windows 8.1
Hi,
I've created several partitions in my laptop Satellite P50-B-103 and I've created the 3 recovery DVD.
Now, I would like to recovery the Operating System and to mantein the partitions that I've created with therir files.
When I tried to recovery the laptop with de DVD, I see that it's necessary to delete all the partitions. Is it possible recovery the laptop whitout delete my partitions?
Thanks.

Hi
Generally speaking recovery image can be installed on two ways:
-HDD recovery option (recovery image is on the HDD)
-using recovery DVD
When you use HDD recovery installation only partition C will be deleted and recovery image installed on it. This option works with factory settings and with original partitions structure.
You have changed this partitions structure and this option will not work so there is logical that you want to use created recovery discs.
Problem is that recovey image procedure wants to create original factory settings that include original partitions structure. Before recovery image installation starts all recovery files will be copied to the HDD and then installed from there so I think you cannot install recovery image on defined partition without changing everything.
Anyway, if there is some problem with your preinstalled OS, install recovery image again and then change partitions again. It is not a big deal. You have created recovery discs so original partitions structure that includes recovery image is not so important for you.
Using recovery discs you can install recovery image anytime you want.
Of course before you start to install recovery image make data back-up.

HT203167 I am watching a TV show and I get video but no audio. I'm using HDMI output to my TV monitor. It worked yesterday just fine

I downloaded a TV show and am unable to get audio from my pc to the TV monitor using HDMI output. It worked fine yesterday with the same tv show download. Video/Audio is ok to my pc and video is getting to tv monitor. Everything is the same but, can't find the audio. This is my first time doing a iTunes download so any help is appreciated by this rookie.

I need to connect an HDMI outlet to a VGA-only monitor.

I need to connect an HDMI outlet (on a video recorder) to a VGA-only monitor, so that I can run my new Mac mini and the recorder to the same monitor. The adaptor supplied with the Mac mini is HDMI to DVI-D and I also have a cable from the Mini DisplyPort to VGA. This works well with the Mac mini to the monitor. Can I get an adaptor or cable to connect an HDMI male to a Mac DisplyPort female?

Yes, but it for Mini DisplayPort displays, not VGA displays (even with adapters).

How to connect a cinema display and a VGA monitor to mac mini

I bought a Macmini and want to connect to a cnema display and to a monitor that uses VGA connection. I also bought a MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter but the MacMini only has ONE Minidisplay port. I thought this would be more straitforward....

I'm unsure of the issue, the Mini has both mDP and HDMI outputs, right? If so, the mDP for the Cinema Display an a HDMI to VGA adapter for the 2nd monitor.

Connecting my MBP Unibody, to a VGA monitor.

As the subject says, i'm so confused with all the adapter options are out there for connecting my mbp to a vga monitor. Do i buy the expensive, apple branded cable, or the substitute? In many of the product descriptions it says the adapter works with MB and not the MBP, is there a difference? Can someone put me out of my misery?

Find out what connection your computer has, Mini-DVI, Mini-Displayport etc. Then buy the correct adapter.
I believe all Unibodys have a mini-displayport on them (mine does), so you'll need a Mini-Displayport to VGA adapter. It does not matter if it is the apple brand or not, you won't notice a difference.
I'd recommend getting it form here:
http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.Mini%20Displayport%20to%20VGA
Cheap product, free shipping. I bought the HDMI adapter form there myself, and I own two apple adapters and functionally there is no difference. It feels a little cheaper but if your okay with that and need to save money, then it's fine.

Connect Ouya HDMI output to Thunderbolt Display

I recently purchased an Ouya video game system and would like to use it with my 27" thunderbolt display. Is it possible to do this? Can I use something like the Kanex XD Display Miniport converter to output hdmi to the thunderbolt display? Just to clarify, because everything seems to be reverse, I would like to output hdmi to thunderbolt or hdmi -> thunderbolt. Not thunderbolt to hdmi.

You can't do either - the TB Display only uses a TB port and no HDMI adapter works with the port.

I cannot get both monitors to work when connecting my MacBook Pro to a VGA monitor using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter

Need help with 2 monitor set up on MacBook Pro.

I am sorry for the confusion. The reason I asked about the speaker bar is that I can't find any information that shows built-in speakers on your monitor. I have looked everywhere, including in the HP specifications.
Here is the Back I/O panel (Input / Output) for your computer:
Figure 2: Back I/O panel
1 - Video Graphics Adapter port
2 - USB 2.0: 4
3 - RJ45 Network (LAN)
4 - Audio: Line in
5 - Audio: Front speaker/Line out
6 - Audio: Microphone in
The way that I have always connected speakers is to the port labeled # 5 (Audio: Front speaker/Line Out). This port allows sound to be sent to speakers. The VGA port is for video only. There is no audio capability. The only connection that sends Audio and Video is the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors.
This is the type of connector that I would expect to see coming from your speakers:
The male one at the bottom of the picture.
Please check the monitor carefully to assure that there are actually speakers built-in. I just don't want us to continue fighting a problem that doesn't exist. There may have been some incorrect information in the advertisement that you read.

Satellite C855D-S5237 Laptop HDMI Output Not Working

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5237 Laptop and the HDMI Output is no longer working on my Toshiba TV. The TV does not recognize that anything is connected and the laptop doesn't recognize the TV as a display option. I have used this laptop many times in the past to connect to my TV with an HDMI cable and it worked fine. It has been a few months since I tried it but it is no longer working. Any ideas as to what could be the problem? Thanks

Hi! What do you show here. Also,do you have any yellow marks in Device Manager.

Can not select TV speakers when connected via HDMI

I have a MBP fully updated connected to a Sony TV vis HDMI/miniport. Up until today this configuration was working fine. Suddenly, I can no longer select the HDMI speakers in my audio preferences. They are recognized and appear on the list but when I select them it has no effect. Before today, when the TV was connected the HDMI output would be automatically selected and I could not access the volume control from the menu bar, which is the way I prefer it.
I have restarted with no success in changing this behaviour. If I open/close the lid, the sound goes to the proper settings for about 2s but then the HDMI speakers are de-selected and the built-in speakers are highlighted. I can manually select the TV speakers but the setting has no effect.
However, I *am* getting audio output through the TV but can not control volume from the mac or any app. I slide the volume slider on the menu bar and the audio output does not change. The sound is also playing from the laptop speakers which is highly annoying.

and now there is no audio through the TV at all. TV works fine with other inputs such as PS3. Any help?

HDMI output not working with AT 200 under ICS

Hello,
I connected the HDMI output to a Sony KDL 32 E 5500. It simply does not work.
The same TV HDMI input works fine with a DVD player.
The AT 200 tablet is under ICS (upgrade in France).
I tried both HDMI configurations : full screen and video window.
Should I send it back for repair ?

Hi
There are two outputs: Mirror and video area only.
Mirror:
External device copies the image on the tablet screen
Video area only:
The external display device shows the playback when open a multimedia
But You should firstly check the Android Settings:
Under the option Screen you will find the option HDMIO video mode
Tap this to switch between the HDMI video output mode.
You could also try to connect the HDMI device under following conditions:
- Tablet is turned on
- Tablet is completely turned off
- when you connect TV or external monitor to HDMI port, then display output is set to HDMI
- when you plug and replug the cable, wait at least 5 sec before you replug the HDMI cable.

Connect Cable Box Output to MacPro USB Input

Is it possible (using appropriate cable) to connect the HDMI output of a cable box to a USB 2.0 input on a Mc Pro in order to view cable TV programs?

BDAqua has it right.
HDMI has nothing compatible with USB. USB is far too slow, and the signal levels and data encoding are completely different.
If you could get past all that, they still would have nothing to say to each other.
And Macs generally have no HDMI inputs, only outputs.
To view Cable TV programs off your cable box, you need a TV set.

MSI GX620 - can't turn on HDMI output

Hi,
I have MSI GX620 with HDMI output, and Benq G2420HDB monitor with DVI input. I bought HDMI-to-DVI cable, but when I connect it between the laptop and monitor, monitor recognizes that it has been connected to DVI (it shows the message), but it also says that there is no signal, and turns off.
When I try analog laptop output, everything's working perfectly, I have the picture on the screen.
It seems that there is no signal on HDMI output. Do I need to turn it on somehow or what?
Thanks.

So I just came back from a friend who also has a DVI monitor. The same situation there - when I plug it on my cable and laptop, nothing happens...
So, we decided to try installing the latest graphic card drivers... I went to msi site, and the closest thing I could find to my 64-bit Windows 7 were drivers for 32-bit Windows 7. I tried installing them, but they wouldn't install, because they are strictly built for 32-bit Windows version.
The next step was to go to nVidia site and try looking there. We found 64-bit Windows 7 drivers, installed them, but the situation is the same - still nothing happens on plugging in the DVI monitor...
So, my guess is:
1. I need 64-bit Windows 7 drivers for my graphic card but from from the msi site, because these drivers (when they come out) will probably support hdmi output, unlike regular 64-bit Windows 7 drivers from nVidia's site (do you think this makes sense?)
2. HDMI is simply not working.
I forgot to mention that up to installing graphic card drivers today, I've had regular graphic drivers which Windows 7 automatically installed. So, maybe they didn't support hdmi, because they didn't come from msi's site (the same goes for the drivers I just installed - they came from nVidia's site, as I previously mentioned).
What do you think? Thanks.

HDMI output not working on my Satellite L500

The HDMI output on my Satellite L500 seems to have stopped working in the past few months.
I've tried different cables but it is still not working.
Any ideas?

When you press FN+F5 key combination while notebook is not connected with HDMI cable, you will see one option (LCD) only. When you connect HDMI cable can you see other additional options like LCD, LCD+HDMI, HDMI and so on?
Please be also sure that right HDMI port on your TV is enabled.
By the way: which OS do you use?

HDMI audio is not working on my Satellite P50-A-14G

Hello, my pc is a SATELLITE P50-A-14G, and I'm writing this because when I conect the HDMI to my pc, the audio doesn't work. I've tried almost everything, but it doesn't seem to recognize the HDMI as sound player. Image is good, but sounds keep playing from the speakers of the laptop itself.
I've checked the playback tab on the sound config and it doesn't appear HDMI device to select.
I've also checked on the Device Manager and uninstalled the "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" wich was automatically updated once reset the laptop, but I didn't appreciated any changes at all. I have also checked if the HDMI output was in disabled, but it doesn't appear at all. I don't know what else to do! Help me, please!

Hi
Click with right mouse button and enable options “show disabled devices” and “show disconnected devices”.
Is HDMI device shown now?
If your notebook recognized TV the sound device must be detected too.
Do you use original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook?
