I cannot get this connection to work. The tv says "no signal" and I can't find the place on my computer where it says "mirroring". Help!

Hi Eileen,Click on settings, then click on display. On that window click on Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available. Click on air-play mirroring. It should then just automatically connect. It does take a minute or two to connect so you might think its doing nothing but it really is connecting. I hope I have helped you.

This item did not work on my Macbook Air. I had the same issue. I sent it back. Still trying to figure it out. I have to take a trip to the apple store...THere is No MIRRORING option.

See Jeff's answer. If you have it plugged into the HDMI port, and the TV is set to HDMI on that port and it still doesn't work , send the cable back, and pay a little more for a better cable; that's what I did.

i have my tv hooked up to my computer with a vga cable. It will work with any tv this way. I no longer have cable b/c it's really pointless for me to have 500 channels when i can watch them all online for 15% of what i was paying. If u hook it up to your computer it will work

When you say "hook up", do you mean "stream" to your TV? If so, I have no idea, as mine streams perfectly. Recheck your settings and connection, and if they're all fine, the item may just be defective. Return for a replacement.

Vickie, In the end I was not able to resolve the issue. I had 2 technicians out to try to fix it, but they weren't able to. Sharp is sending me a new TV (which is being delivered tomorrow afternoon). I'll let you know if it works any better.

Turn off the computer, plug the HDMI cable into both the computer and the TV, Turn on the computer.If you still have a problem, try testing the cable on something else like a PS3 or Xbox

Hi Sandy, sorry to hear you're having problems. Make sure your settings on your television are set properly. Make sure what ever port your cable is plugged into is the same port in your TV settings. If this doesn't correct the problem, feel free to contact PlugLug. Thanks!

Thanks Albert and A. Macharia. I'm a gal BTW... : ) I was able to use my HDTV as a monitor, but nothing more really. I bought the cable that you mentioned (A.) and I could watch Netflix, but the audio was still coming out of my laptop which wasn't fun. I ended up returning the cable to the Apple store and bought an Apple TV, but now downloading anything on that thing takes forever. Grrrrr...... Maybe it's time to bump up my wireless connection. IDK...

Same thing happened to me. Returned my cable, but haven't yet ordered a new one. Could not figure out if my tv was incompatible or my cable was defective.

I have the same problem but it's most likely the TV that's the issue. No matter what output I put it on it drops the signal while the other two tvs I have connected work completely fine

Just plug link stick into a USB port and turn on the Internet with your remote, if that dosnt work turn on your co mounter and try again, maybe your TV is not set up for the Internet

I couldn't get mine to connect either. I purchased the HDMI adapter and it worked fine. I can only assume that the cable has a problem. Too bad because I really wanted the longer cable.

It didnt work with my computer, I was unable to send any video signal to my PANASONIC HD TV. I try changing several resolutions of my computer, to look which was compatible and was a fiasco. Take care,

I managed to connect with wifi-n. The problem is the TV is very slow and it's preferable to add a third party streamer.

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

Hi Loretta, sorry to hear this. have tried other inputs like DVD/BD player, computer, game console, cable box? have you checked your physical cables for loose connection? have you tried changing physical cables from your devices going to your TV? -Vincent
