I have a mid 2011 Mac Mini with the Radeon 6630M graphics card. It's connected to a Philips TV via HDMI.
Ever since 10.7.2 I'll get the oh-so-famous HDMI handshake issue. That is, the colors go inverterd (or something like that) every 20 minutes or so. I didn't have this problem on 10.7.2. So my questions are: Do anyone else have this issue? How do I roll back to 10.7.1?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Same problem for me too....
This is nuts!!! is there anyone out there from apple who can respond to this issue? Theres obviously a lot of prople out there with this issue... and its totally taking away any enjoyment from my mac
This is a user to user forum; have you contacted AppleCare?
This was posted in another thread, and works:
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 <Edited by Host>
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!
Very helpful. <Edited by Host>
Hey, I have a friend with the exact same issue...
Why is the crucial information in the correct answer by jonas141 "Edited by Host"??
Are there any issues / side effects with this solution?
thanks, regards, A.C.
No there are no issues at all.. Its perfect.. Have no idea why it was removed tho?? Hmm.. I have the link.. but don't know if I should post it now.
Anyway I had to reinstall it today after running a system update.. Should save the file for future use.
--A--C-- there are no issues at all. I just think the file was hosted on a site like megaupload. Actually, I think it was exactly so.
Phill85, could you rehost the file somewhere more safe? Maybe also email it to me? eriksson.j@me.com and I could mirror it somewhere too.
Hi Jonas and Phill, and others that might be interested.
I found the original thread here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3382106?start=0&tstart=0
correct answer first page in the thread
the link is still there, and still works.
In case it's down, somebody else (piovazz) posted another link (other file host) a bit later.
Good luck ;-)
