[QUOTE="ffejmanaoe11, post: 909849, member: 121866"] I just bought an Insignia brand LCD HDTV, and I bought a mini-DVI-to-HDMI adapter and plugged my Mac into the TV via said adapter and an HDMI cable. When I put the TV on the input into which I plugged the HDMI cable, my desktop background image appears on the TV, but that's it. After playing around for a few minutes I discovered that if I move my windows (i.e. Firefox or iTunes) or my desktop icons all the way off of the right side of my Mac's screen, they become visible on the TV, even though my background image is centered on both the computer and the TV. And when I put a movie on iTunes on full-screen mode, my TV goes black. Any ideas why? Also, the audio doesn't seem to be going through to the TV at all, as I expected it to. I'd like to be able to watch movies on my TV through my computer and (more importantly) listen to music from my computer through the surround sound home theater I hooked up to my TV. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
