T400 Not Connecting To LCD TV
I bought a T400 several years ago. I recently decided that I was interested in hooking it up to my LCD TV in order to watch movies and shows online. After some research I figured out that the best way for me to do this was to go through VGA because both my T400 and my LCD TV had the VGA hookup.
I bought the following cables from monoprice.com:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10201&cs_id=1020105&p_id=557&seq=1&form...
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804&p_id=5612&seq=1&for...
I understood that with these cables I would be able to get both picture and sound on my LCD TV. However, my T400 is not being recognized by my LCD TV when I connect the cables. There is a PC Input on the back of the LCD TV which is what I am using but when I go to change the input on the LCD TV it is not recognizing that I even have my T400 connected. The model of my LCD TV is a Panasonic TC-L32X2.
I thought that my problem might have something to do with screen resolution so I consulted my user manuals. The LCD TV user manual states that the maximum resolution is 1,280 x 1,024 which I know is different from the resolution that I have set on my T400. I tried to mess with some of the resolution settings on my T400 but I was still unsuccessful in getting anything to work. I also tried playing around with adding devices, such as a projector, and was still unsuccessful.
Any help would be much appreciated because I would really like to get this to work. Thanks!
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If all you want is stereo sound, this is what you need:
A mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
Edit: You also need a male HDMI to male HDMI cable
A minijack to RCA cable.
If you are interested in 5 speakers (3 in front 2 in rear) with 1 subwoofer, see this user tip:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2458613�
HDMI does not carry audio on Mac connected displays.
Note, you may need to an online electronics store in the UK to buy it. But these items you can e-mail them
and show them what you need and they can say if they have it. Some items may be found at the Apple Store.

Emac will not connect to LCD projector while running iMovie
I am working on an eMac running 10.3.9. We have the eMac connected to an LCD projector in a computer lab setting. Things work fine - until we try to run iMovie on the projector. A message appears on the screen asking for a resolution of 1024 X 768. We have changed the resolution on the computer numerous times - yet the projector gives us this message each time. When the computer is unplugged from the projector - iMovie runs fine. We have successfully used this emac and the projector for iMovie earlier - today things have not worked!!!!!
Any help would be appreciated!Hello Roger, if you have them installed in 10.6.7: Uninstall Virusbanner and Content Barrier (use a good Uninstaller). You don't need them at all. Instead in OS10.6.7 check if you have the Snow Leopard security update 003 installed (of which the database is almost daily updated automatically), in Lion already installed.
In Lion also do not use these apps, same story (malware db almost everyday auto updated).
It should work after that, if you do not have "exotic" system settings.

Zen Neeon Recharge on LCD screen even though not connected er
I purchased a Creative Zen Neeon 6 gig MP3 player last December 2005. I'm not having trouble where I can connect the MP3 Player to the computer, it will recognise the device and all the songs stored...what happen is when i safely remove it from the USB cable the Neeon will turn on, show the creative logo and then show the USB charging action on there even though it's not connected....Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've tried re-setting it but again the USB recharge action on the LCD appears again...Anyone fixed this? Any help appreciated, thought i'd try here first before contacting tech support again...
I tried clean up already, as stated above. Since then I have also tried reformatting the player again, adding new music, and retrying the clean up. The player seems to recognize that there is music on there when it builds the library, because the more music I have uploaded the longer it takes, but when it fully boots up it still shows NO MUSIC at all, no tracks, no artists, nothing.

Highlighter does not appear when connected to LCD projector in Keynote v2.2
I connected my iPad 3 to Apple VGA adapter (A1368) and I was doing a presentation with Keynote v2.2. In the presentation mode, I press-hold the screen, and the highlighter tools did not appear. I am sure I did the right thing to do to get the tools.
However, when I do not connect to the projector, I can get the highlighter tools in the presentation mode on my iPad screen.
What is wrong?Hi, have you run the hardware test from the osx install cd? That should eliminate the 'bad video card' if the MBP tests OK.

Apple TV does not connect to internet over the WiFi network
I recently bought an Apple TV and hooked it up to my Sony 46" HD LCD TV.
My desktop is an iMac running Mac OSX Leopard
I have created a WiFi network using the AirportExpress conected to an ADSL router.
The wireless network is working fine and I have access to internet through my iMac or other PC and Apple laptops.
Yesterday, I tried installing my new AppleTV following the little instruction book. My problem is that while the AppleTV detects my network (it shows up as the network) and on choosing this network connects to the network but gives a message that it has not connected to internet.
As a result while it synchronises with iTunes on my iMac, it fails to download from the internet directly. I am unable to upgrade to the latest version or play YouTube or images from my MobileMe account or log on directly to the iTune Store.
I have tried figuring out the problem but unable to do so. Thanks for your help.I am having a similar (or identical) problem. I have a network running on my airport extreme. My imac and my girlfriend's laptop can connect to the internet without issue. The apple tv finds my network and reports that it connects, yet it doesn't seem to. I cannot access trailers or youtube, cannot update, and cannot play purchased content. I reset the apple TV, but that did not solve the problem. Should I reset the airport extreme?

I lecture for a living. My old G4 connected to LCD projector worked great; image displayed on computer monitor is same as that projected by LCD. However my new MacBookPro connected to the LCD projector displays washed out images, as if I designed my Keynote lecture using pastel colors. Also my black & white x-ray images are blue & white. Help !

Thank you for your quick response to my question. The Apple Genius Bar tried adjusting the color settings in my MacBookPro, as stated in the document you attached. It did not help ... my Keynote lectures are still pastel, and my x-rays are blue & white. I should have stated this in my original query for help.
Again, many thanks for responding.
Did the Apple Genius explain to you why it did not work or even if it's possible? -
Before owning my current MacBook pro Core2Duo I had MacBook Pro CoreDuo and PowerBook G4. With these previous laptops I was able to connect to LCD projector no problem. Now I am in Japan in big business meeting trying to connect my newest MacBook pro to the same projector as was working with my older Mac and nothing. I tried mirroring on and off, change projector resolution, change display preferences. Nothing. I had to copy my PowerPoint to someone who had Dell PC and work off it.
Any idea how to fix MacBook Pro that it would work with LCD displays.Hi,
I had some trouble initially, too, but now I use the "detect displays" option and it usually works fine. Here are a few more tips copied below--these are not my own--but I forgot to make a note of who to credit.
Good luck,
Bill Durbin
Projector Troubleshooting
For some reason, Apple thinks it's important that you connect the VGA cable to the adapter first, and then the adapter to the computer, in this order. Have you done this?
Try forcing the MacBook Pro to re-detect displays by pressing F7 (or Fn+F7 if you have customized the function keys).
Go to System Preferences>Displays> and click on “detect displays.” Also go to Arrangement and then check the box that says "mirror displays."
Also try setting the resolution output to whatever the projector is (1024x768?).
"To detect the TV or other external device, hold down the Command (x) key and press the F2 key. You can also open the Displays pane of System Preferences and click the
Detect Displays button.
6 To adjust how the image is displayed on the device, use the Displays pane of System Preferences." -
Ethernet Cable "Not Connected" for W510
I recently reloaded my OS, and now my wired network card does not work. The driver manager say the card is working fine. But whenever I connect the network cable, there are no LED's light up on the card, and ipconfig says the cable is not connected.
I know it is not the cable or router, since I pulled the cable from a working T520.
Thoughts? Did I do something wrong on the OS install, or is it hardware?
Thanks
AlOk. It was worth a shot.
How about trying a Linux Live CD boot? Even though Windows is reporting the card as ok, if it doesn't work in Linux, then the report is suspect and you may, in fact, have a hardware issue.
Regards.

No sound over HDMI, picture works fine but in sound manager tells me HDMI not connected
Hi There
I have a tm2 1050ez and am experiencing problems with my HDMI port.
When I connect it the display automatically gets duplicated and everything works fine, but when I try to play a movie with vlc for example I do not get any sound through the TV, only on the tablet.
Of course I went into the sound manager because I suspected that you must tell the tm2 where to play the sound, but to my surpise it said that the HDMI cable was not connected?
I therefore could not make any changes to the default output device...
Even in the IDT application wants to tell me that the HDMI cable is not connected. I have plugged and unplugged it several times to no avail.
I hope someone can help me on the above, I already searched the net for several hours but havn't seen a similar problem, with the most problems it does show the cable as conneted..
Thanks in advance!

No Video Signal new DVD connection to LCD TV
I just got a new SD-V296KU DVD/VCR combo and connected it to a 40FT2U LCD TV player I got last year. I followed the directions in the setup guide and owner's manual exactly, but I get a "No Video Signal" error on the television. Audio does work. I originally tried with an external tuner too, but still doesn't work when TV/DVD connection only. I've tried switching the connections around (standard yellow/red/white wires) and no change. Obviously everything on the "support" website has the same instructions and can't talk to anyone who can help....can somebody here please set me straight?
With the change to Colorstream on the TV, I now have color DVD and audio...thanks, Peter. However, I still only have audio for VCR playback; even when the selection is set to 'VCR', the screen only shows as "Welcome DVD - Toshiba". This also means I cannot enter VCR menu setup for setting clock, etc
Just to clarify the original quick posts, I added since I could not get assistance on phone and wanted to make sure whoever did see this was updated with where I stood. I originally hooked up r/y/w cables per directions in guide, but change to the green/blue/red using the white and red from other for audio. I actually posted a somewhat more detailed message later the same day (as my originals here) on the DVD board, but that apparently was taken down. Here's the exact connections:
40FT2U LCD: g/b/r- green = Y/Video, blue = PB, red = PR; w/r/y- white= L/Mono, red=R; yellow = bottom on Digital Audio Out; RF modulator cable in Ant/Cable box. These hook to...
SD-V296KU DVD/VCR combo: g/b/r on 'Component Video Out' in order Green top, blue middle, red bottom; w/r/y on 'DVD/VCR Audio Out' in order white top (L), red middle (R), yellow bottom (Video Out); also have w/r/y on 'VCR Audio In' in order white top (L), red middle (R), yellow bottom (Video In) leading to...
Zenith external tuner: w/r/y - white (L), red (R), yellow (video) and RF to TV plus separate coax to antenna
I am happy about the DVD, but this combo is no good without VCR too. Your knowledge sharing is appreciated. -
what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network
My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router. -
ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store "Error Message"
I recently added iTunes 7.6 to my Windows XP operating system at the same time when I added an *Ion USB Turntable (TTUSB).* I currently have the 80G iPod with the larger video screen. I added in the supplied software of the EZ Vinyl Converter. The software reads from Gracenote and imports into iTunes okay. But now my PC cannot access the iTunes store to buy songs, read the tracks on the discs, or display new album artwork. The diagnostic read the network connectivety test, the CD/DVD drive, and iPod connectivity tests all read okay. I followed the directions on checking the network settings under the Internet Options Tool "Connections" Lan Settings and the Automatic detection and still no dice. All I get is "Make sure your network is active."
Can anybody help out their?

"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was terminated unexpectedly. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
The errors occured in IE 7 Beta, Firefox 1.5.x, and Firefox 2 Beta. In each case, iTunes U loaded after I clicked the 'ok' button in iTunes. I did notice that in Firefox's case an additional pop-up window appeared that asked whether or not I had iTunes; when I selected that I do have itunes, it transfered me to iTunes but generated the error.
After getting these errors on my Windows XP machine, I tried it on two different lab machines running Windows XP, and didn't get the error message once -- I tried it in IE 6, Firefox 1.0.x and Firefox 1.5.x and they all worked. It even worked with IE 7 Beta and Vista Beta.
Based on this, I think the problem must lie in how Windows registered iTunes, and the handshake just isn't happening properly.
