Macbook won't connect to TV via HDMI

Did you ever get this issue resolved?

thanks

I have the same issue, It worked perfectly on Mavericks, so I doubt it is a hardware problem. After the Yosemite installation, my MacBook Air 13 inch Mid 2013 model won't detect the TV display anymore. I'm using an all-in-one Thunderbolt to HDMI cable. I've tried SMC reset, PRAM/NVRAM reset to no avail.

The display won't show up in Display preferences. But when I plug the cable in, the screen blinks but the resolution does not change. When unplugged, it does the same thing.

I have exactly the same issue. Just tried my wife's macbook pro which hasn't been upgraded to OS X 10.10 and it works perfectly. So I know its not a cable or TV issue. I doubt it is hardware related so must be a bug within Yosemite. Please Apple release a bug fix, this is like cutting off my right arm!!

Have exactly the same issue. Am on a work trip and cannot connect my Macbook Air to an HDMI screen any longer. The built-in screen just blinks and no external screen is detected.

From OS X 10.6 and iOS 6 to OS X 10.10 and iOS 8, Apple's products went from "it just works" to "it just doesn't work". Not worth the higher prices any longer.

I’m also having this problem with my Macbook Air 13’’ Mid 2013.

I was using OS X 10.10 since June and it was working perfectly with external displays (HDMI and VGA with Thunderbolt adapters). Then yesterday I shutdown my computer, and after turning it on again, it does not detect the external display, but blinks when connecting or removing the cable…

Same here man, I've tried everything!

Yep, same here. Macbook Pro early 2011 13". External display not showing the screen but laptop blinks when connected and is connected, display appears in the system pref->displays as normal.

same problem here. I'm like totally bummed that i cant connect my tv anymore. when is this going to be fixed! please get the fix out for this problem ASAP

I have the same problem since updating to Yosemite. Can't watch any of the videos on my MacbookPro using an HDMI cable. I'm surprised there aren't more people complaining about this. Is it just a few of us with the problem? Or is it Apple's way of forcing us to buy an Apple TV (cynic that I am)? Oh well, I'll have to connect to the TV in my other room using my Chromecast but it is irritating. Apple, where's your fix for this?

For all of you asking that this as yet, officially undiagnosed HDMI issue get fixed — Apple is not here, and won't respond. Use the official feedback form for OS X.
