TV wont accept Mac/HDMI input

Using the adapter to HDMI and selecting the proper input on the TV always allowed me to put the computer screen on the TV.
Now, on a new TV, it just says "no input".
The Mac screens changes like it used to - acting like its going to work.
Also the "TV" option on the menu bar is grayed out.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks

as I said this same configuration had always worked before on another TV.
anyway though, after reading others with similar issues, I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now have the mirroring box checked - no effect.
My Mac Book is a 2010 model but, again, if that's the issue why did it work on the other TV?

You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

Mac wont accept disc wont go in

Wont accept disc, wont grab and go into drive. Tried to eject just incase there was a disc left in, non ejected.

First, does System Profiler see the optical drive? If it does not the drive is dead.
Go to: Apple Menu / About this Mac / More Info.
In the left column, click on Disc Burning. The optical drive should show up there.

Mac Pro HDMI lost signal in 2 seconds after selecting the HDMI input

Since a few days I am using my Mac Pro (Late 2013) as media server. The Mac is connected to my TV using the HDMI port, that handles the 1080p (60Hz) and audio signals. My problem is that after I select the HDMI input on my TV (as turning the TV on or just changing the input) I can see the Mac desktop for like 2 seconds and then I lost the signal.
At the moment the only way to get the signal back is to log in via remote desktop and rotate the image, and then back again.
This is really annoying and renders the Pro useless as a media server, I would really appreciate some ideas.

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized Driver for every display. The parameters are set by sending a query to the display, which MUST answer with its capabilities. Based on the claimed capabilities, the parameters for a good picture are set.
The query is sent at Power-on, and when the cables are changed. And it is also sent when you sleep-and-wake your Mac, so you can use that to your advantage. If the display is set to a different port, it will often will not answer the query and the screen will go black.
First, set your display to the correct input port. Then try to sleep-and-wake your Mac to have it send the capabilities query again, and set the parameters for a good display.
To sleep your Mac when the screen is blank, you can use Control Eject. That puts up this familiar screen, even if you cannot see it:
press the R key to Restart, the S key and it will Sleep, ESC to Cancel and return to shut down.
Wait a moment to confirm it is sleeping, then press the spacebar or Command key to wake it up.

My iPhoto needs updating but it wont accept my apple id and because of this i cant send photos from my ipad to my mac... what to do?

how can i sort the issue with my apple ID. I bought my imac through the internet, apple shop.
I only have one apple ID and it wont accept it to update my iphoto and imovie. I am really struggling now that i want to back my photos using icloud.

If it does not accept the ID/password, then that means the apps were purchased using another iTunes account. Apps purchased at the App Store are forever tied to the ID that was used when buying them.
BTW iCloud is not a storage service like Dropbox, it's mainly for syncing data and for iOS device backups. It will include photos in the camera roll during an iOS backup to iCloud, but that is not storage in the usual sense.

Hp pavilion ms235 how do I connect to a tv with a HDMI input?

how do I connect to a TV with a HDMI input? Can I use a USB graphics adapter?

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion All-In-One MS235 Desktop Computer. Based on the specs, your computer doesn't appear to have a video output of any kind. A USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 will be required to connect your HDTV to your computer.

How do i connect my hp 610-1130a to my tv as a second monitor. i only have hdmi inputs on my compute

How do I connect my computer to my TV as a second moniter. I have a HP 610-1130a touch screen running windows 7.
It has 2 HDMI in ports.

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 610-1130a Desktop Computer. You are correct in stating that it has 2 HDMI inputs... these inputs are used for connecting devices like XBox, PS3, DVD payer, Blu-Ray player, etc., so that you can watch/play them on your computer screen. Your computer, in fact, doesn't have a video output of any kind (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.). You will need to purchase a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 to use your TV as a monitor.
Please note that if you wish to "extend" your Windows "desktop" to your TV, you will need to disable the touchscreen as issues controlling the cursor will occur. If you wish to "copy" or "duplicate" the image on your computer to the TV, the touchscreen should function as normal.

Outputting DVI to HDMI input in LCD TV versus using the DVI to RGB ?

I am thinking of buying a mac mini to connect to a Toshiba 20HL85 TV in the lounge primarily to act as a "media server" and accessing Front Row for music, photo's, DVD watching etc. The question is which connection to use to go from the mini to the TV for Video (audio is fine as it will route into my AV Receiver)? The TV has an HDMI input, component video, s-video and a VGA port. The user manual for the TV says:
Note: The HDMI jack is not intended for connection to and should not be used with a personal computer. For PC connection, use VGA cable and connect to the VGA port. The VGA port allows the following resolutions:
Monitor Display modes:
VGA 640x480 60Hz
SVGA 800x600 56.3Hz
SVGA 800x600 60.3Hz
XGA 1024x768 60Hz
WXGA 1280x720 60Hz
WXGA 1280x768 60Hz
I wanted to know a few things as I have no experience with the MAC mini and HDMI:
1. Will I not get a better/crisper/sharper picture if I connect through a digital port like HDMI versus going through the VGA port?
2. I have checked a few LCD TV's user manuals and they all seem to say the same thing i.e. "Do not connect a PC to the HDMI port" - I fail to understand this when the Apple site specifically says under "accessories for the MAC mini" that "HDMI is electrically similar to DVI, but has a different physical connector that may include an audio signal. You’ll need a DVI to HDMI adapter, such as the Belkin PureAV HDMI to DVI cable to use these televisions".
3. What am I missing? Should I just go ahead and buy the DVI to HDMI cable and MAC mini and plug it in i.e. has anyone done this and had it work? Is it better than VGA (I would hope so)?
Bottom line is does the MAC mini connect to any TV with an HDMI port or are there different types of HDMI ports and hence I need to search for the right TV first? If so, what must I look for? Thanks for any help I can get.
Power Mac G5 Dual 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

One word of advice. I just hooked up my mini to my 32" Lowe HD TV using a DVI to HDMI cable and it doesn't just work. The native resolution of the TV is not available for whatever reason so I have to bodge another resolution which looks terrible. When I plug my powerbook in via a DVI to VGA connector it just does work selecting the correct resolution automatically.
Either the problem lies with the mini or with connecting to the HDMI socket. As the HDMI is simply a dvi with audio I can't see why it would cause problems but who knows. Given all the other problems I am currently having with the mini I am pointing the finger in that direction currently.

No sound when using HDMI input to TV

I connect Mac Book to HDMI input on TV with a mini DVI to DVI cable, to DVI to HDMI cable. Good picture through iDVD but no sound.

Yeah. It kind of *****! But it is true, HDMI does not transmit sound, just video. Which it does well I must say.
What I did is I have surround sound and I plugged a cord that has male connectors on both sides and I plugged it into my amp on one side and my mcbook on the other, so now I can get sound onto my surround sound and also get the video images on my HDTV. =) If you have a surround sound system with an amp, I would recomend doing this. Its easiest.

Toshiba 32TL838: video flickering after fw upgrade in menus, using HDMI input

Hi,
yesterday I upgraded my 32TL838's firmware to version 6.4.0Y.1 / 94.6.27.8 using the network upgrade feature.
After the upgrade I reset the TV to start over with factory settings.
During the quick setup after the reset I noticed a very poor video quality. The whole image flickered, had a ghost effect and looked interlaced. The menus were almost unreadable.
After completing the setup the TV switched to normal TV mode (DTV cable) and at least the tv picture looked quite normal. While cable TV input is selected, I can also open menus like before, they're displayed correctly.
But as soon as I switch to HDMI input, the picture is getting nuts again, just as during the initial setup, including the TV's menu overlays. Sometimes it's getting stable for maybe 30 seconds but then it's crippled again.
Some words about my setup: the TV uses only HDMI input 1 and the cable input, nothing else is connected.
The HDMI input links to an Onkyo TX-SR508 AV receiver that is being fed by a Fantec 3DS4600 media player and BDP-S373 BluRay player.
Because I expect the what-about-your-HDMI-cabling question, I exchanged the HDMI cables but as expected that did not help at all.
At least I seem to be successful in working around the problem when using the Fantec player.
Before I upgraded the firmware I was able to use the player with 1080p/60Hz and the player was setup accordingly.
Now I switched to 1080p/50Hz and the video picture looks okay again. (However I did only a short test and as I said, sometimes_
the picture is okay for a short time.)
Unfortunately my BluRay player has no menu to change the frequency, so watching BluRay or the online services the player offers, is impossible.
So what can I do now? A firmware downgrade (if that's possible) would be a quick temporary workaround I could accept. But in the medium term I expect Toshiba to restore the features they promoted and for which I paid.
(Youtube stopped working with the old firmware and it looks as if 1080p/60Hz doesn't work anymore with the latest firmware.)
Does anybody know a way to downgrade the firmware using an USB key? I already downloaded the previuos release tl838_853886.bin but I don't have a clou how (and if) it can be installed.
Thanks for your hints

> Before I upgraded the firmware I was able to use the player with 1080p/60Hz and the player was setup accordingly.
I think you mixed simply the PAL and NTCS settings.
Usually all external players provide an option where you could choose between PAL and NTSC.
NTSC standard is the common one for countries in South / North America and Japan,
The PAL is used in Europe and some countries in Asia.
Both PAL and NTCS support 24p (24 frames per second) but most output for PAL and NTSC use interlaced frames which means that:
NTSC (60Hz) supports fps 60i or 30p
PAL (50Hz) generally uses 50i or 25p;
Probably the external player supports PAL settings and its set to 50Hz and therefore its play properly using the 1080/50Hz.

No I didn't even read through your post, to long.
You said that "No matter what program I try to install, as soon as the installer opens it crashes". Were you talking about the install for this/these 3D programs or ANY program? As it is worded it sounded like ANY program. That tells me there is a problem with your Mac, software or hardware.
Now you say others install programs, which is it. Programs other then the 3D ones install or no programs install?
Could simply be your Mac is to old to run these programs and the installer knows that. You never said what model or year Mac it is.
