Help,
I have a problem with connecting my Imac and Phillips LCD TV.
For two years everything was working as a violin and two weeks ago it stopped working : (
Computer and LCD are connected with an HDMI cable (over Mini Display port to DVI adapter with DVI-HDMI adapter on it)
The computer recognizes the TV in System Preferences-Display but there is no picture on TV but
in the corner of the TV a label "Unsupported video format."
When you connect the devices, the iMac's monitor goes blue but the TV does not have a picture.
On the web I found hundreds of people with similar and same problem but without a successful resolution.
What is the strangest thing when I connect a old macbook over the same cable only MiniDV port, everything works!
Stranger still is when I connect the Imac over the same cable and adapter to a LG LED monitor that has HDMI Input, again everything works!
HDMI cable is also correct because I've checked it out with the Blu-ray player on all three HDMI inputs on the TV.
Imac's OS is 10.6.4.
TV model PHILLIPS 42PFL5603D/12
Thanks in advance for any advice and hopefully solutions!

When I hook my MacBookPro to HDTV using the moshi MiniDisplayPort to HDMI adaptor, the sound

When I hook my MacBookPro up to TV using the moshi MiniDisplayPort to HDMI adaptor, the video & audio black out every few seconds. Is there a setting I missed? I read something about the refresh rate possibly causing this, but I can't find out how to see what it is and/or adjust it. I did pick 'best' for the connection...
Thanks!

Only certain apps that had this feature added will show from an original iPad to a video out - whether VGA or HDMI. It does not have true mirroring, like the iPad2 does.

Hello gman0700.
Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to produce audio through an HDMI connection. I apologize for the late response, but I will do my best to assist you. Before anything else, please answer these questions:
1. What is the current computer's operating system? Does the same behaviour occur on multiple operating systems?
2. The title seems to imply that there is no audio when connected to a television, using HDMI. Does this only occur when you connect to a television? Will it occur if you connect to something else using HDMI?
3. Have you tried connecting to a television using VGA or DVI? If so, what are the results?
As an additional suggestion, for now, I would review the television's manual to confirm that everything is correct from the television's standpoint.
Please post this information as soon as you can. Thank you posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Facebook videos are still working for me in the Facebook App (using iOS 7.0.6).
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
''if you like to not disable the proxy settings choose'' : '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' (it is in the same session)
thank you

Apple tv using freesat box as hdmi adaptor?

I got apple tv for christmas yesterday but my old Loewe television doesn't have a hdmi port. However, my freesat box does have an hdmi port. Would i be able to use it as an adaptor for my apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I think there is a 99% chance that the HDMI port on your FreeView box is an output not an input, even if it isn't I think it extremely unlikely that the Freeview box will convert HDMI to analogue.
There are limited options for converting from HDMI
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

Using Bittorent on my WinXP computer loses connection with Airport Express

I read somewhere on this forum that this issue is an "extemely annoying problem." I will second that notion - especially because I have yet to find a remedy for it. I am trying to use Azureus (BitTorrent Client) on my WinXP HTPC and I keep getting disconnected from the network. I am using a Linksys Wireless-G USB network adaptor on my PC. Sometimes the connection on my PC won't even reconnect unless I unplug everything. I have patched the TCP/IP limited transfers to 50 connections, so I don't think that's the problem. Has anyone else encountered this issue? And if so, what was your remedy? I haven't touched any AirPort Express settings yet due to the fact that I don't exactly know what I should change.

same problem here.
MBA (latest os), even my ip5 (latest ios) & ipm (also latest ios) looses the connecntion.
Ive tried to figure out what causes the problem - neither my xbox360 nor (and i guessed they will be the problem) the pcs here...
the connecntion runs well.. switching also (MBA-IP5-IPM).. but not for longer than an hour.. or even minutes. When the connection looses a high-frequency noise is followed by silence. A restart fix that problem and all devices streaming well... but not for long...
any suggestions?

I have iPhone 4 with updated latest iOS And i am using FIND IPHONE application.

Plese give me the Proper suggetion about this issue..!!

If your router is not identified in a national database (don't recall who maintains it or where it is) then there is no location associated with it. Hence your device cannot be located. I suggest you try your test at some public wifi spot, like a bookstore or coffee shop. These places usually have a location associated with their wifi router.
