Using TV and HDMI

I bought the cable to try out HDMI playback. According to the "manual" on page 21, you start an application called home sync wizard. There is no such wizard.
I found that if I went to the galley, I could select photos and videos to playback to the tv.
One more example of trial and error due to bad documentation.

There is not wizard to use HDMI, all you have to do is plug it in and open default gallery (Wont work with others) and play item and then you will see a HDMI in upper right corner and when you click HDMI it will transfer image to TV and device will turn into a player control..

  • I have my mac air hooked to the tv using thunderbolt and HDMI

    I have my mac air hooked to the tv using thunderbolt and HDMI the background screen and screen saver are the only things that will appear, but no icon's and cursor what I'm i missing?

    That's called the "extended desktop mode".  Your screen is logically extended to the right (by default).  Drag an application off the right side of your MBair screen and it'll appear on the TV.
    You can also toggle between extended desktop and mirror mode by pressing CMD F1.
    Visit all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

  • No picture using ipad4 and hdmi adapter

    Hi guys, I'm trying to view my ipad4 on a HD tv using a genuine apple lightning to hdmi adapter but the tv says no video signal being received. The ipad has iOS 7.0.3  are there any settings on the ipad I need to change?

    There may be an easy answer here. It's your receiver - not the apple TV
    1080p HDMI Inputs: The Sony receiver features two 1080p HDMI inputs and one 1080p HDMI output. The receiver transmits both audio and video through the HDMI monitor output to your TV or you can choose for the HDMI monitor out terminal to only output video to your television. Video signal that is input through HDMI input can only be output through the HDMI monitor output terminal.
    Note: The receiver does not offer video upconversion.
    So it looks like if you go HDMI in - you have to go HDMI out (to your TV)
    If you go component in - you need to go component out (to your TV)

  • Projected Image size different using VGA and HDMI

    From my ipad mini with a VGA connector I get a full screen image on an Epson projector but a much smaller image using an HDMI connector - How can I get a full screen with HDMI?

    Good to know there are no menu's I have missed.   There are 2 things between the iPad and the projector - the HDMI cable and the mini display / HDMI adapter.  So as changing the HDMI cable did not help it must be the adapter.   Just to add I'm pretty sure the problem first arose after i upgraded to 8.1.2

  • 2 monitors on MacBook Pro (Retina) using Thunderbolt and HDMI ports?

    I would like to buy a MacBook Pro with a Retina display.  I want to attach 2 external monitors and Ethernet.  I need to use one Thunderbolt port to attach to my (wired) ethernet.
    Can I attach 2 monitors to a MacBook Pro (Retina) using
    1) a mini display port to DVI adapter
    2) a HDMI to DVI adapter?

    Yes, it is possible to run 3 monitors at once on the Retina MacBook Pro (2 connected over Thunderbolt and one over  HDMI).
    Displays used in picture below:
    Retina on laptop @ “best for Retina”
    iMac used as a display @ 2560 x 1440 via Thunderbolt
    iMac used as a display @ 2560 x 1440 via Thunderbolt/DisplayPort
    LG monitor @ 1920 x 1200 via HDMI
    Hope this answers your question.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion I cannot use my HD TV as a display through my thunder port and HDMI cable ???

    after upgrading to mountain lion I cannot use my HD TV as a display anymore using thunderport and HDMI , which worked before , does this mean I have to buy apple tv to mirror onto my HD TV

    can it be something related to wi-fi?  I have read other posts talking about loss of connection using wifi.  I'm connecting my G5 through an airport express which is expanding my wifi generated from my Apple Time Capsule. It is quite difficult for me to relocate the server close to the Time Capsule and vice versa but if it works, at least that would be something.  It was working with Lion about 3 months ago - showing up in Finder, etc.

    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.

  • Can i use both Component video and HDMI?

    Hi guys,
    Im wondering if its possible to connect both Component video and HDMI on the ATV?
    Its currently connected to HDMI on our main HD TV, however, the apartment we have has a strange setup in which you must send RF signals to a loop back in the main room to reach all other TV's.
    We dont have the capital for either another flatscreen TV or a second Apple TV until next year - so currently we've got an older (see 2004) bulk of a CRT TV upstairs and my thought was i could route a signal to the RF loop back from the ATV and use my iphone remote to control what it plays to view upstairs.
    For this id need a component to composite/rf convertor which ive found so sending the signal is no problem, but what would happen if i were to connect component cables as well as the HDMI, does the ATV output on both, or priortise the HDMI?

    When both types of cable are connected to the tv at the same time, the HDMI connection will be on by default but the component is turned off... and what happens if the source to the HDMI cable is off - eg its plugged in but its got no where to send the signal, would it still not send to the component?.. You mean if the tv was off, same thing, HDMI would take precedence.
    Are you sure about this, Winston? I have only 2 component (and 2 HDMI) inputs on my Panasonic HDTV. For this reason I invested in an Audio Authority Component Switcher (Model 1154A) a few years ago. When the TV device arrived I connected it directly to the HDTV via my HDMI-2 HDTV input and also connected the component video and optical audio to the switcher. I have no problem using the HDTV's input selector to switch back and forth between component and HDMI lines. While I admit I cannot split the screen between an HDMI input and anything else for simultaneous viewing, I can leave both lines plugged in and switch between the two lines. In addition, the activity light on the switcher indicates there is a signal present on the switcher even when I am watching the HDMI line. (Of course, this may simply be triggered by the switcher's optical audio signal since I normally watch the TV video via the HDMI line (with HDMI audio muted) and use the optical audio line to drive my receiver's AC3 decoder so I can enjoy 5.1 audio with my latest conversions.) Am, therefore, wondering if the OP may have the same capability and could then simply switch to a different input mode to "de-negotiate" his HDMI connection and allow access to whatever component device he needs as long as he doesn't need simultaneous viewing on both TVs.

  • How do I get a Mini DisplayPort adapter and HDMI connection working for my Older MacBook Pro?

    I bought a Belkin Mini DisplayPort adapter and attempted to hook it up on two different tvs using two different HDMI cords. I've always received a "no signal" message. I haven't even been able to get my desktop to appear. My display settings doesn't include a mirroring option and I only have the option to use my computer as a sound output. I've called apple support and I went to geek squad. Is it just impossible for older MacBooks?? I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and all of the forums I've read say that video should work at least. I switched out my adapter for a rocket fish one and still no luck. The geek squad employee couldn't get it to work on either adapters. Please Help!

    I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and now it works perfectly. However, I'm getting random green and black splotches on my screen when I'm not using it with the TV.

    I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
    I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so,  do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

    My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.

  • Connecting a Samsung 5500 32" Smart TV to Macbook Pro using a Belkin HDMI to MiniDisplay Port.

    I have a new Samsung 5500 32" Smart TV, and I'm trying to connect it to my Macbook Pro using a Belkin HDMI to MiniDisplay Port. The computer will not recognize the TV as a display (the arrangement tab will not show up) and the TV will not show the computer as a source. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Trouble running DVI video and HDMI audio out of 6950

    Twin frozr iii 6950 2gb (X2 crossfire)
    Asus VG236 Monitor
    Windows 7
    MSI P67A-G43 Motherboard
    Yamaha RX-V371 Receiver
    I have two Twin Frozr iii 2gb 6950 cards and am attempting to use the HDMI on the video card solely for 5.1 audio out to my receiver while using video through the DVI jack of the same card directly to my monitor without success.
    -Audio functions if I run the HDMI from the card into my receiver, then out to my Asus VG236 monitor.
     -Audio functions when I run from the card to my receiver then out to my plasma tv.
     -Audio functions if I have the DVI run directly to the Asus VG236 monitor and HDMI to the receiver then plasma tv (only in dual display and the tv must be on for audio to function this way. If I turn the tv off even though the receiver is still on the audio stops working and windows sound lists the 'AMD HDMI Output' as not plugged in).
     -Audio even fuctions when I run DVI to the monitor and HDMI to the receiver, then out to the HDMI port on the same monitor but the monitor will only run at 60hz this way even when DVI is selected on the monitor, as though it defaults to the HDMI when dvi and hdmi are both plugged into the monitor.
    And if i run the hdmi to the receiver "HDMI IN" port without using the "HDMI OUT" port from the receiver to anything, like my tv or monitor, the sound doesn't work and in windows sound the "AMD HDMI Output" is listed as "not plugged in" .
    I purchased this monitor for the true 120hz capabilities, the HDMI on this monitor doesn't support 120hz, the maximum is 60hz. DVI is required to run at 120hz. I don't see any option in windows sound settings or CCC to resolve this.
    I have also tried disabling onboard audio in BIOS with no effect.
    For now i'm running the audio out my MOBO jack through an optical cable to the receiver but optical only supports 2.1 sound.
    Any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated, thank you
