Just installed Lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro 15" (Intel Core i7). I bought a mini displayport to HDMI adapter and it doesn't seem to detect my 27" LED monitor. The screen flashes for a moment on my MacBook and my external monitor wakes up but suddenly goes into power save mode. Is there something I'm missing? I thought it was a simple plug and play. Any advice would be great.
Thanks.

Try a different adaptor, there are reports of variable results with differing brands
There's nothing else I can do besides purchase a different adapter?

There are many things, but the adaptor (read some of the posts on this site) is likely, if you don't want to try the adaptor try

I wasn't looking for a sarcastic answer....
Seems like this forum isn't helpful. I'll take my problem elsewhere.

OK, thanks for the points 🙂
I didn't give you any points. Why? Because none of your posts were helpful.

I am having the same problem also. I posted my problem here but nobody replied so I thought I was the only one. Anyway, everything was working fine on Snow Leopard but after the upgrade the TV doesn't display anything anymore. My MBP detects the TV and I can even change the resolution etc.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one having a problem. I just ordered a mini displayport to dvi adapter. Hopefully this one will work with my monitor.
Hello there people.
I have found the solution to this hdmi sound problem on lion.
I recently bought a TECHLINK WIRES MEDIA off ebay and it worked perfect with my 2011 apple macbook pro lion. I plugged it in to my 2008 samsung tv in to the hdmi 3 port and there it was sound and vision like you have never seen it before picture perfect and quality clear sound, just shut the lid and it displays on the big screen. The quality of this cable is excellent and i am wondering if it is worth paying that bit extra for a TECHLINK APPLE MACBOOK PRO MINI DISPLAY TO HDMI CABLE 2.0M as it might be the quality what you need to solve this problem.
Thanks everybody for your support on this subject, and thanks to jon who sent me the cable to do a review for him.
Feel free to leave a comment.
Try changing the display to 'Mirror Display' in System Preferences>Display>Arrangement>Mirror Display.
It workedmfor me. No sound though, I listen to the laptop sound or could go jack to jack.
telling us to buy something else isn't solving the problem. it's just giving you more money instead of you acutally doing your job and helping us solve the problem with the adapter that we already purchased for rediculous amounts of money.

You realize that Brett, like everyone else here (including you) is just a user volunteering his time? You are not giving him more money.
I would close this thread since it's old but anyhow... I did contact the company and they were very nice and sent me an authentic Apple adapter and works perfectly. Though it was not minidisplay to HDMI, it works fine. I just have to carry an audio cable with me which is not a big deal.
