hi, i bought several adaptors and hdmi cables, but still cant connect my macbook pro to my hdtv. keeps saying " no signal" when i go to display preferences the option i only have 2 options: monitor and colour. can anyone help please

i have done that, and tried i think almost all solutions but stil cant get no image on the HDTV.... i've been awake doing this for almos 10 hours in a row.... 😟

i have also an older black macbook that also uses an adaptor but connected trought a VGA cable and it works perfect on the same HDTV....gonna continue searching....

hi kayla, thanks for yor reply, i tried all resolutions on the display menu on settings but eith no luck... i first connect the cable to the HDTV and then i connect the other end to the mac port... the mac screen flashes light blue once and gets back to the image displaying but no image on ther HDTV, i have 3 HDMI ports on the TV, and i tryed them all , i have a ps3 and a cable setup box connect and working fine.... 😟

thanks for your time Courcul... but you must be kiding right? i use mac for almos 15 years.... i have another laptop working fine on the HDTV.... i know how to select the correct source....

i tryes that also, but it doesn´t detecte the HDTV, i only try the tunderbolt port.... i think after all the tests i have done, that the problem could be on the adapters... i already tried 3.... low budget ones....i would buy another one but i would like to be certain it will work.... i have an older macbook not pro, the blacj edtion one... also have an adaptor, but not to HDMI... it connects to the VGA port at the HDTV.... it works perfect.....

ok , sorry if hurt any feelings, i've been awake from more than 24 hours trying to solve this issue, dont mean to be disrespectful to anyone... i'm sorry...i understand and apreciate all your help, no exceptions...

thanks Courcoul, im sorry about the comment i made, didnt mean to be disrespectful. my HDTV is a 42" samsung, and besides the source menu where you can chose witch port to select, there is nothing else on the main menu of the TV for ableing anything.... i tried to connect to all 3 hdmi ports with no luck, tried all resolutions avaiable on the display menu on the MBP... i see in other discussions that on the display menu on the MBP besides the colour and monitor i should have another opition but cant find it... aldo the mirror check box does not appear..... when i do "detect monitors" nothing happends.... the only i can see happening is in the right moment i connect the end of the adaptor to the MCP the laptop screen flashes light blue once and gets back to the image but on the HDTV keep saying no signal detected....

thanks again Courcoul

i got this from the seller i bought my last adaptor, shouldn't this work fine? can anyone check please?
