Hdmi Connector For Mac

I have a Apple lightning to HDMI adapter from the Apple store from earlier this year. And I have a iphone running iOS 10. I plugged it in, and the iphone indicated it was charging, but after mirroring began, the charge indicator was gone when the mirror was set up. The mirror was there for a while, but then it started charging and the mirroring stopped working, and then stopped charging. Jan 26, 2015  Connecting a simple HDMI cable will enable the Mac to connect to a TV and use it as an external display. You can then mirror video, or use the TV as an extended desktop. 2 Meter HDMI cable - $5.99; Even if your Mac doesn't have an HDMI port, there's still another way to connect the Mac to a television: You can use an adapter. HDMI flows only in one direction, so a HDMI port on a Mac is strictly an output port. Modern Macs now have USB and Thunderbolt data ports, but neither of these is actually compatible with HDMI. In other words, you can't simply connect HDMI-to-Thunderbolt cable and capture live A/V stream from that camcorder. Get the most out of your technology.

Mac computers that have any of the following ports can connect to HDMI devices. Learn how to identify the ports on your Mac.

  • HDMI port: Connects directly to HDMI using an HDMI cable.
  • USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port: Connects to HDMI using an adapter, such as the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.
  • Mini DisplayPort: Connects to HDMI using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or cable.

Mac computers that have an HDMI port comply with HDMI 1.4b and support:

  • At least 1080p video over HDMI, and some Mac models support higher resolutions when connecting to 4K displays, 5K displays, and Ultra HD TVs
  • 8-channel/24-bit audio at 192kHz, Dolby Surround 5.1, and traditional stereo
  • HDCP-encrypted playback from iTunes and QuickTime Player (version 10). Safari in macOS Sierra or later also supports HDCP-encrypted playback, if the web page is HTML5-enabled and the content is FairPlay Streaming-enabled and delivered using Media Source Extensions or HTTP Live Streaming.

If using an adapter, check the specifications of the adapter to learn about supported resolutions and other details.

After making the connection

If your Mac doesn't recognize your HDTV, display, or other HDMI device after making the connection:

  1. Turn off the HDMI device while your Mac is turned on.
  2. Unplug the HDMI cable from your Mac, then plug it in again.
  3. Turn on the HDMI device.

If the video on your HDTV or display extends beyond the borders of the screen, open Displays preferences and adjust the Underscan slider for a better fit. Use any of these methods to open Displays preferences:

  • Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Displays.
  • Press Shift-Command-A to open the Applications folder. Then double-click System Preferences, then click Displays.
  • If your keyboard has brightness controls, press Option–Brightness Up or Option–Brightness Down.


If your HDMI device isn't receiving audio from your Mac:

  • Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sound. In the Output pane, make sure that your HDMI device is selected.
  • If you're connecting using a Mini DisplayPort adapter, make sure that your Mac can send audio over Mini DisplayPort.
  • If you're connecting from a Mac mini, unplug any audio device that is plugged into your computer's Audio-Out port.

If your Mac goes to sleep while a video is playing or paused, you might see an HDCP error. Quit the app that is playing the video, then open the app again. If the issue continues, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Energy Saver and adjust the settings so that your display doesn't turn off.

  • If your Mac has an HDMI port, you can use the Apple HDMI to DVI Adapter to connect to a DVI display.
  • Mac computers don't support using CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) to control HDMI devices.

I have the same problem with my IPad Air, after I downloaded the os upgrade/revision the adapter stopped working. Apple monitors these sites to collect data on problems with their products so Apple can't be unaware of this often cited issue.

My older IPad 3 still operates its AV/HDMI 30 pin adapter, so the problem is definitely software related, strike that, the problem is software generated!

Since my IPad doesn't recognize the adapter I am being pushed to use the Apple TV mirroring feature of my Ipad, a feature that requires that I buy an Apple TV or Apple TV receiver for my present tv.
