I have the same problem with a mid 2011 version (the one with the 6630m). 10.7.1 worked fine. 10.7.2 not so.

How did you roll back to 10.7.1?

oh 😟

no other way to do it?

Hi,

Since update to 10.7.2 have the same video problem. There is no Solution as well...😟

- Mac Mini 2011

- 8gb ram

- Intel i5 processor 2.5ghz

- AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB

- HDMI output directly connected with a FULL HD Philips LCD TV (42PFL8404H)

Also looking for solution (or some way to roll down to 10.7.1)

The issue has previously hit Apple TV owners. I think people came to the conclusion that it was a HDMI handshake problem. Basically the process where the device and TV greet each other, make up some rules about communicationg and what their secret key is and so on.

I haven't tried this yet, but my local service center says that basically I can do one of two things:

- Downgrade to 10.7 and then download the 10.7.1 update from Apples website. To do this without having a Mac OS X Lion disc, you can hold down CMD + R when the computer boots to be able to access the recovery partition on newer Macs that come without the OS disc.

or..

- Put something in between the computer and TV. For example, if you're using an amplifier as a part of your home theather set up, this will probably work. The service guy said he has his Mini connected to the amplifier, which in turn is connected to speakers and a projector. The inverted colors still appear, but only once per night (i.e. after the first problem is reset by resetting the link then it's fine).

For now, I'll do my little dance of changing the source on the TV from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 and then back again to reset the link... But, I'll probably try downgrading in a few days.

edit: removed content. ops wrong post.

I too ran into the same problem after updating today: had the same problems in Snow Leopard, they got fixed in Lion (finally!) and returned with 10.7.2. It looks like I managed to fix the problem by copying a file from the Lion install that got removed in 10.7.2 (probably because there are multiple support topic of people whose Philips TV wasn't working at all in Lion, and they had to remove this specific file to get it to work!).

Long story short: if you have handshake problems, try the following (of course, at your own risk):

1. Download http://www.mediafire.com/?fdz29bgsg3zm653

2. Unarchive it

3. In the Finder, go to (using cmd-shift-G) the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/

4. Place the entire directory you unarchived in step 2 (DisplayVendorID-410c) in the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/

5. Reboot

It seems to be working for me, so I hope it is the same for you all!

Tried your fix today and worked! Thanks!

Could anyone please venture a guess whether this problem could be fixed in near future by Apple? I'm fairly new to Mac and I must admit I would have never expected that updating the system with the official update could cause so much trouble. I'm reluctant to mess with the system and willing to wait couple of days, but if there won't be no fix anytime soon, I guess I won't have any other choice... Really disappointing.

You're not going to like this, but even my local service rep told me that "if Apple find a solution that's good for most users" they will. Basically, the issue seems to be that some Philips TVs don't work at all with the devicevendor-410c fodler present in that other folder listed above while for us removign it makes the colors go nuts from time to time. I did what Rutto_ suggested and so far so good 🙂
