Tv display av/hdmi cable

I have an ipod touch 5th gen.
Is it possible to use the lightning hdmi adapter for ipod touch 5th gen AND...use that hdmi adapter to connect to a "hdmi to composite cable" and display it onto a tv that has composite plugs only? will it display/work?
Anyone tried it with iphone,ipad mini etc?

It probly wont work. Unless your going from HDMI to HDMI you might have issues. I have the cable for my iPhone 4s and have gone from HDMI to Dvi-d to view on my 1080p monitor but if the tv isn't hd it wont work. This is because cimpisit and scart are analoug and HDMI is digital. You can get hdmi to compisite/scart converter boxes for £40 ish on ebay. You plug them into the mains the the HDMI in and analoug out and it converts signal from digital to analog so its crap quality.
In summary, if the tv is not hd or has no HDMI support, it will be alot of troble and wont be worth it.

  • Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

    why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

    Do you have gfxCardStatus installed?  Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete".  You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC

    Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
    Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
    Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

  • Mini display port hdmi cable and adapter not showing display on LG TV

    Connected my macbook air up to my LG TV 32 inch, via mini displayport - adapter to HDMI and then HDMI cable to HDMI port on the TV.
    the TV is detected on detect displays on the macbook - but the TV says no connection.
    Does anyone have any idea why this isn't working?
    I've tried both HDMI 1 and 2 ports on the TV and neither can detect a connection, although when first connecting it it did say "connecting" for about 5 seconds before cutting out.

    Seems like many people are experiencing problems with connecting to a tv via mdp-hdmi adapter. I have the same problem connecting my newly bought macbook air to my 4 year old samsung 32 inch. Both screens goes blue and blinks. My mac recognise my tv though, it says samsung when I go to the screenmenu to change resolution.
    I have tried two different adapters, the moshi adapter which Apple recommends and another one. Im experiencing the same problem with both.
    I´ve kinda concluded that it has to be a software problem since my mac has started to act strangely after I tried making it work for 20 minutes.
    Apple please fix -.-

  • HT4241 How do I get an Epson EX5210 to display using the HDMI mini display port adapter so I can see 1080p downloaded movie from iTunes? It won't recognize the display via hdmi cable and adapter!

    Please help! I've tried everything to get this dang thing to display a downloaded movie from itunes on my epson EX5210 lcd projector via a HDMI cable plugged into a minidisplay port adapter. I am no expert and have no idea what to do!

    It's all in the manual... starting on page 26...
    USB seems to work as well. Tried that?
    By the way, this dang thing has "only" 768 physical pixels vertically, so "1080p" won't be visible anyway, and scaling will take place. Hope you won't be diappointed. All specs including resolutions here.

  • Display TV HDMI cable

    Hi all!Well i have connected my macbook pro with hdmi cable to my TV Samsung LED 26 but the screen does fit properly!Is there any solution or i have to run it i a clamshell mode to fit properly!please help me!Thanks!

    I have great success with HDMI from mini display port. Spend some time in Sys Preferences setting it up. I found that having "overscan" ticked helps for movies played thru XBMC.Have TV set up before you launch your prefered app. Once you have TV connected > in sys pref > Displays > Arrangement > untick mirror displays > you can drag the displays where you want them and also drag the menu bar. By all means play with the different settings (helps if you know your TV's scale and refresh rate.) But I find "Best for display works well. Hope this helps.

  • No Audio using Moshi mini display + HDMI cable

    Hi Guys,
    I now have video but no audio when connecting my macbook pro to my digital TV.  TV is Teac HDMI and using moshi mini-display and HDMI cable.

    How old is your MBP?  MBP's early than mid-2010 do not support audio through the mini-displayport.

  • HT4241 HDMI cables for Macbook 13" duo core 2006

    Hi,
    Firstly apologies if this question has been previously answered.  However I have been trawlling the internet for ages trying to find out the correct cables to set up a macbook to an HD tv.  All I want to do is connect two devices but everything I read seems to be about macbook pro 2009 onwards - what about those of us you have older macs?
    Sometime ago I was given as a present an iwires mini display to hdmi cable set.  On the box it said suitable for Macbook pre 2010.  My Macbook is a 13" duo core 2006 . Anyway the cable didn't fit and because the package had been opened couldn't get a refund.
    Please can anyone in simple terms tell me which HDMI cables I need to connect to the tv so that I get both audio and video.
    many thanks.

    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. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
    You'll need a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keyword s=mini+dvi+to+hdmi+adapter&sprefix=mini+dvi+to+hdmi%2Caps%2C264
    You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
    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-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio 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 though to see if it might have audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.

  • T520 DisplayPort -- HDMI cable recommendation needed

    I just purchased a T520 with discrete graphics (nVidia NVS-4200M) and would like to use my HDTV as an external monitor at its native resolution (1920 x 1080). The DisplayPort --> HDMI cable I plan to use should carry both graphics and audio.
    Since I've read about other issues with similar cables/adaptors not carrying both graphics and audio when used with the previous nVidia NVS-3100M card, I am writing to request a specific recommendation for an Display Port ---> HDMI cable (not adaptor) with my particular configuration.
    Thanks.

    I have the same ThinkPad model.
    I bought this product and it works fine for graphics and audio.

  • How to connect a MBP to a BENQ external monitor using a HDMI cable and a HDMI to mini display adapter?

    Hi, I have just bought a brand new HDMI cable and HDMI to minidisplay adapter  and tried to connect my Macbook Pro up. The external display knows it is there but it is not getting any signal. I have tried on another TV and it also says no signal and I also tried using another Mac but it still didn't work.
    Can anyone help?

    In some versions of Mac OS X, with the Displays pane open, holding the Option key will show the detect displays button in the lower right.
    I am using OS X Mavericks. Where did the Detect Displays button go?
    You can find the Detect Displays button in the Displays section of System Preferences. Once there, press and hold the Option key to see the Detect Displays button in the lower-right corner. You can click this button to manually detect another display.
    Another technique is to sleep and wake your computer, which will send the detect display sequence as well.

  • I have a Macbook Pro 13.3 i5 w/ no hdmi port. How can I connect my Mac to TV to watch video, photo ?  Is the Thunderbolt port a mini display port where I can use a mini display port to HDMI cable? If not, what are my options??

    I have a Macbook pro 13.3 w/ i5 that has no hdmi port. I want to be able to connect the Mac to my TV set to watch Video, Photos and files from Mac to TV.
    Is the Thunderbolt port similar to a display port or mini display port? Can I use thunderbolt port to connect thru a mini displayport to HDMI cable or converter?
    Been trying to locate a USB to HDMI cable or converter (at a reasonable price) but all I found is a displayport or mini displayport to HDMI cable/converter.
    What other options are available ?

  • Help using a mini display port to HDMI cable with MacBook Air and TV

    Hi, Apple gurus. I need help setting up my MacBook Air to my Vizio TV using a mini display port to HDMI cable that I just purchased on Amazon.
    And here's info about my MacBook Air:
    In the Amazon reviews, someone posted the following how-tos, which aren't working for me:
    1. Plug in both ends, mini display port on your macbook and the HDMI on any available port on your LCD.
    2. Go to upper left Apple menu and scroll down to system preference. Or use your FINDER from the dock, go to applications, then system preference.
    3. Click on Displays
    4. Click on DETECT DISPLAY
    5. A similar screen pops up with name of your LCD, mine says SONY LCD, click on ARRANGEMENT
    6. Click the box that says MIRROR DISPLAYS.
    7. Go back into system preferences and go to SOUNDS which is located under HARDWARE.
    8. Click on OUTPUT, then select HDMI, which should be listed next to your LCD name.
    I ran into trouble at step #4. My MacBook Air doesn't list the option of "detecting display." I do, however, have the box mentioned in step #6, "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available."
    Regarding step #8, HDMI didn't appear in the list — I only see "internal speakers."
    So, what am I doing wrong? Or, did I buy the wrong cable?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Or you need to get an appropriate adaptor. The Griffin adaptor sold on Apple's Online Store will work with a standard HDMI cable.

  • Mini-display port to hdmi cable not working consistently

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) 2GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB, Intel/ATI combo video - Yosemite 10.10.2. I purchased the monoprice 15" mini-display port to hdmi cable and it worked perfectly for about 1 month or 2. Now when i plug in the cable, the MBP doesn't detect that I have a second display connected at all. I assumed the cable died so I tested it on my iMac. The cable worked. Also when I try my Monoprice 15" mini-displayport to VGA cable, that works on my MacBook Pro. I can't figure out what is causing my MacBook Pro to "forget" how to detect this cable. Anyone out there experiencing the same? I tried PRAM reset to no avail. Any suggestions would be great.

  • Mini Display Port To HDMI Cable Not Working?

    Dear members,
    i have a mid 2010 13" macbook pro which i have been using a mini display port to HDMI cable which also carries audio for for years now.
    I went to use it last night and have to pull the cable out and plug it in a few times to get it to work.
    Tonight it just wont work at all no matter how many times i pull the cable out and plug it in again!
    Before i use to just connect it and boom, screen would go off then on and it would also mirror on to my TV.
    My TV is a 32" Toshiba TV, i tested the HDMI ports, working fine. The mini display port to HDMI cable works fine on my 42" TV downstairs.
    Any one know of a fix for this?
    Thanks.

  • I am trying to connect mbp to tv using mini display port and HDMI cable TVtuned tocorrect port as shows Mac wallpaper (purple star scene) but does not show what is on MBP.  What can I try so that I can see mbp display on TV?

    What do I needto do to connect a tv as an external display for my mbp using a mini display port to hdmi cable.  I have tried display without success.  tv is receiving a signal as displays apples default wallpaper when connected but nothing from screen of mbp.

    Soundls like it is working. Try dragging a window on the MBP to the edge of the screen and see if it appears on the TV.
    There are two ways to set up the TV one is to mirror the MBP display and the other is to be an extension of the MBP's screen.
    You change the settings in System Preference->Display
