Tecra S1 - connection to samsung TV screen

I am running XP service pack 2 and want to use a Samsung TV screen as main monitor. On connection and if I re-boot I can see pc screen briefly then just a blank screen.
Can anyone advise on a possible solution?

As Juan already wrote use FN+F5 key combination and switch to notebook display only. After doing this check all options. To be honest I am really skeptic about changing primary monitor but you can try it.
Switch to the TV only and see the options in display properties. If you will be lucky you will be able to define it as primary display. To be honest on most Toshiba notebooks the notebook display is defined as primary display and it cannot be changed.

  • How to connect Macbook Pro to Samsung Flat Screen TV

    How do i connect my Macbook Pro (2-3 years ago) to Samsung Flat screen TV (Samsung UN22F5000 22-Inch 1080p 60Hz Slim LED HDTV). Currently, I just discovered that my HDMI port on the TV said "DVI". So, i came to the conclusion that I need to get the DVI to HDMI cable (male-male), and mini display-port to DVI (female) adapter cable for Macbook Pro. The question is am I correct?
    I have tried looking at the back of the Samsung flat screen, but there has no VGA to PC port (female). Therefore, i googled and tried to find a way to connect my Mac to the Samsung flat screen TV. As i mentioned above, I came to the conclusion that I need those things. I just want to make sure that my assumption is correct. Thank you

    Dear Varjak Paw,
    Thank you for replying to this topic. Yes, it is true that there are 2 HDMI ports. However, one of the HDMI ports has something written on it, which is (HDMI In 1 STB). While, the other one stated "HDMI In 2 DVI". Moreover, I tried to plug in the HDMI cable into HDMI In 2 DVI, and it doesn't fit. While, plugging in to the STB does fit. Do you know what are the differences?
    Thank you
    Sincerely yours,

    Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter.  TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices).   It does not show Mail or Safari menus.  System preferences'  display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution.  I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
    In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access.  Is there any way to make this work for us?  We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web.  Do we need Apple TV to do this?  Or is it not possible with our old iMac?  My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor. 
    Thank you

    Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
    There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
    You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
    Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
    If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
    If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time,  you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
    These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
    Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
    Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

  • How do I get a full screen pre-view on my ipad air when connecting my samsung NX 300 camera

    When connecting my samsung nx300 camera via wifi to my ipad air using samsung smart camera app I can only get a small pre-view window on the corner of the screen (80x40) The camera as been back to samsung and they have confirmed that it is working ok.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Doesn't solve your wifi connection problem, but you can use Apple's camera connection kit to transfer pics/videos from your camera. You can connect the camera to the iPad using a USB cable or use the camera's SD card.

  • Nvidia 8600gt with DVI to HDMI cable on Samsung 32'' screen

    hi, got setup arch on a friend's pc with the title's featured for viewing...although that is viewable we cannot make it work properly (with the same quality as it is on windows...which is day and night...), is there any options which we can work on them for getting the best quality because of the connection? i tried from nvidia-settings but i cannot find any option for "cable changing"..what should i change to make this work properly? (the current display is 1024x768. he wants big letters for easier reading..)
    ty in advanced

    I have nvidia 8400m gs and hda-intel, hdmi just does not work properly. The resolution is by default wrong and does not fit into the screen. If I use 1920x1080 the text is almost unreadable. Further, hdmi+audio does not work at all. I use nvidia-xconfig to set up X and NVIDIA X Server Settings in gnome to choose the TV screen. I have a 32'' Samsung flat screen tv.
    VGA cable works for video and sound with an audio cable from laptop headphones to TV PC in. The resolution is quite ok - 1360-768 and sound works thru the tv speakers.
    What I have found googling is quite contradictory. But it seems nvidia hdmi on linux is not yet fully implemented. ATI Radeon on the other hand seems to work better.
    As the hdmi cables are quite expensive, especially the gold plated ones, I would discourage linux users for the moment to have too high expectations on getting hdmi+audio to work for nvidia cards, at least not on hp pavilion notebooks. It might also be a question of hp notebooks with nvidia not having any connector between the graphics card and the audio card, as the audio is being transmitted over the hdmi port. However, HP is quite uninterested in support, and plucking asunder a laptop is not that appealing to find out audio chips and eventually missing connectors between sound card and video card.
    To sum it up, vga is better for the moment.

    Hi Sprucie and welcome
    Firstly, can you remove the image you've posted as it gives the hub's SSID and your wireless password for connecting to it. Although the odds must be huge, if anyone near you read this and realised it was your hub, they would be able to connect to it.
    Secondly, from that screen, click advanced settings, continue to advanced settings and click on wireless. From there select another wireless channel, either channel 1, 6 or 11. Click apply when you've done this. Also the distance from the hub will affect the connection speed - how far away is it? - do other devices in the same room also operate slowly?
    Installing inSSIDer on a wireless enabled laptop would also be beneficial as you would be able to see what channels are used in your area - you're best to avoid heavily used channels.
    Also, ideally connecting via an ethernet cable would solve all this - but this isn't always practical. You could use powerline adapters

    When I had a PC I simply took the wire going to my monitor and connected to my big screen TV to watch Netflix movies...How do I take them from my IMAC and connect them to my TV now?

    This could be problematic.
    It will depend on what model of iMac you have.
    You may want to post machine info.
    blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
    Leave out the serial number.
    Example:
    Machine Name: iMac
    Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
    CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 600 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    Memory: 768 MB
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.1.9f1
    Most of the iMac's have sometype of video output port on the back.  You will problably need a converter.
    The 'hollywood' industry has been making it more difficult to get video out over time to prevent copying.

  • How do I connect my Samsung Series 8000 plasma tv to my 27" imac

    How do I connect my Samsung Series 8000 plasma tv to my 27" imac (2.8 GHz Intel Core i7) to use as a display?

    Here you go (no financial or other interest in this web site or company):
    http://www.kanexlive.com/iadapt51
    I believe we have the same model of iMac (late 2009) in which unfortunately Apple did not provide audio signals in the mini-DisplayPort out port.  This Kanex adapter will pick up your audio as well as the DisplayPort signal and combine them in an HDMI signal that you plug into the Samsung HDTV.

  • Tecra A9 stuck on the splash screen

    Hello,
    I'm new to your forum and hope to find help.
    I have a Toshiba Tecra A9 stuck on the splash screen after my intervention in the bios to boot from a USB stick.
    _DETAILS:_
    At the start, it turns more on the startup screen with the 5 symbol of choice (hard disk, USB, etc.).
    Clicking on a symbol and nothing responds I can not enter the bios.
    It is displayed at the top of the screen: In Touch With Tomorrow TOSHIBA and five symbols.
    I disconnected two small green battery on the motherboard for 10 minutes, but nothing has changed.
    That said, I do not know if I disconnected the battery good (y 'have it two?).
    It also would it make a metal button battery on the motherboard?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Alain

    Hi
    If the notebook cannot pass the Toshiba Splash Screen then this means that the POST (power on self test) cannot be passed properly and this means mostly than an hardware part on the motherboard or the motherboard itself is faulty
    Thats worst case since the mobo is very expensive :(

  • Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth?

    Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth? or can't copy any picture or song from my laptop to Iphone 5?

    Because this has never been a feature of iphone/ipad/ipod touch.
    Ipod touch/iphone/ipad support bluetooth for handsfree telephone devices, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps form the app store, and internet tethering where provided by the carrrier.
    Otherwise, they will not connect to another phone/device/computer.

  • Is it possible to connect 2 Samsung monitors to an imac 27"

    Is it possible to connect 2 Samsung monitors with a resolution of 1920x1080 to a new imac 27" with two thunderbolt connectors (per mini displayport to dvi or mdp to hdmi cable)? So that there is the full resolution on all three (Mac + two Samsung) monitors? And if its possible what do I need to do so?
    Thanks for the help

    I have no ThunderBolt iMac (mine is a 2009) nor one or two of these Samsung Displays.
    So I can't say or guarantee that the combination will work.
    Some displays simply don't work with Macs for no apparent reason.
    Best would be to take your MacBook Pro into the store where you want to buy the Samsung displays and ask for a test.

  • HT4279 I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

    I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

    The article you cited refers to The Mac Pro, a 50lb silver tower -- not a notebook computer.
    Everymac.com says:
    2nd Display Support:
    Dual/Mirroring*
    2nd Max. Resolution:
    2560x1600 (x2*)
    Details:
    *This model supports a simultaneous maximum resolution up to 2560x1600 on two external displays via Thunderbolt. Alternately, it can support a single display up to 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt and a single display up to 1920x1200 via HDMI. Although it can theoretically power all three external displays, as confirmed by a helpful reader, it runs too hot with three displays connected.
    Also see: How many external displays can the Retina Display MacBook Pro models support? What is the maximum supported resolution of each? Are adapters required?
    When using other than ThunderBolt displays, the ThunderBolt port is directly compatible with Mini DisplayPort, and can be forced into compatibility (with Single-Link DVI or HDMI up to 1920 wide) with a simple adapter.
    To adapt to wider displays, an ACTIVE Dual-Link adapter is needed, about US$100.

  • When connected to my external screen the desktop numbers are not in sequence

    Hi
    Relatively new to Apple but use an Apple external screen.  When viewing muptiple screen on the MacBook they are shown in order left to right 1  2   3   4  etc however when connected to the extrenal screen they show 1  3  2  4  It is confusing.  Also applications seem to move from one screen to another wthout operator (me) instruction.  One explaination for this may be me losing my mind but the screen order is a definate.

    This is true; however, Windows will boot from a GPT disk only on an EFI-based system. If the computer in question supports EFI, you can make that switch, as described here, or you can re-install Windows. If the computer is strictly BIOS-based (as are most that are older than about 2 or 2.5 years), you're pretty much stuck with MBR if you're booting Windows from the disk. Overall, it's probably better to just stick with MBR partitioning.
    FWIW, Linux doesn't need to reside on a primary partition. Given the setup described by Sameer, my recommendation would actually be to use GParted to expand the size of the extended partition (/dev/sda3) to cover the whole disk, and then create logical partitions for Linux. This way you won't use up all of the primary partitions, which might prove to be important in the future, should you need another primary for some reason. It can also keep the partition numbers increasing, albeit with a jump from 3 to 5.
