If it works to fix this, Apple and/or Samsung should be able to 'meet somewhere in the middle' and make a permanent fix for this problem. Not ideal, but at least I have found a consistent way to make it work.Īnyone else with HDMI problems on a Mac Mini, please try this procedure and see if it works. Unless they look for each other at the same time. The Mac Mini will say 'No HDMI connected', and also give up. They apparently only do that for a few seconds (maybe 10 seconds?), and if they don't do it at the same time - no picture. My guess is that the Mac Mini is looking for an HDMI when it's starting, as the TV is looking for an HDMI source when you select that input. When doing this, all is fine - the picture comes on as it should (after a few seconds).Īnything else I do, any combination of cable I try, doesn't work. Click the 'enter' button on the remote, to select that HDMI port number, while simultaneously switching the Mac Mini on. Click the Source button on the TV remote control, and arrow to the side to highlight the HDMI port number where the Mac Mini is connected to, but do not select it until.

Turn the TV on, and select another HDMI port than the one used by the Mac Mini (whether there's a signal or not, doesn't matter)ģ.

Tried various combinations of ports and cables.Ģ. The TV says 'No Signal' whether using a HDMI cable from the HDMI port, or the USB-3 to HDMI cable.
