If you read through your HDTVs manual you will find that it only supports FAT32 ~ maybe also NTFS.
Mac OS Extended Journal (HFS+) is a proprietary file system and even a Windows PC can't read it without the appropriate tools or drivers installed ~ let alone a TV.
I'm afraid you will have to reformat your Hard Drive
* This will delete all data on the drive
1. open up Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/)
2. select your external drive ("1TB WD Elements" or whatever it is called)
3. click on the Partition tab
4. select the following settings:
Partition Layout: 1 Partition
Format: MS-DOS (FAT)
the name will change to "UNTITLED" but you can change it to whatever you want
click the Options button at the bottom and select "Master Boot Record"
When everything is set click Apply at the bottom right.
Again, this will delete all data from the drive so you will want to backup it beforehand.

Computer connected to tv but only plays movie on computer not on telly

First make sure the computer is correctly connected to the TV. Once you are sure the connection is okay. You will need to use the following key combination to configure the settings:
Windows Key + P.
You may use the setting that suits your needs. Please note duplicating the displays might not be a good option if your PC monitor doesn't support the maximum resolution your TV can support or vice versa.

After a virus infected my Dell dimension 2350 (XP), I replaced the hard drive with one running Windows 7. After increasing my RAM, I still have some serious resolution problems on my Samsung 172N moni

Hey Tim,.
Once you installed Windows 7 onto the hard drive you would need to have installed the drivers. The one driver that is needed for resolution is the video card.You can right click on the desktop and then choose screen ressolution to see if you can change the resolution. Unfortunately, Dell does not have any Windows 7 drivers for the Dimension 2350 system.

Thank You,

VGA MODE NOT SUPPORTED, usually will meanthat the resolution your laptop was sending to the monitor wasnt supported.

this can be fixed with it plugged in and using the laptop display. you shoudl be able to chenge display properties and apply a different resolution to each screen.


system not fully installed is an interesting one. does it do this all teh time when you reboot now? with or without the monitor connected?

When booting up my windows is loading and then my screen goes black and come up with an error: recomended resolution is 1280x1024... how do I fix this?

Most probably your computer has a higher resolution or refresh frequencies set in Desktop Settings than supported by the monitor. It might be also, that you have previously installed a monitor driver for a different monitor model, and the computer is using resolutions and frequencies supported by that previous monitor, with which your new one can't cope.
The solution would be to boot the computer in safe mode (hit F8 key when the computer is starting, you can hit it a couple of times, until you see a menu; choose "Safe Mode" and hit Enter).
Go to Desktop Properties, change to Settings tab, and click "Advanced" button. In the new window choose "Monitor" tab and change the monitor to "Plug and Play monitor". Click OK to accept the settings and close both windows.
Now reboot the computer - it should start with a rather low resolution, but the picture should be visible. Now you have to go to your Desktop Settings again, Advanced tab, and move the resolution slider to position 1280x1024. Accept and enjoy.
If the computer still doesn't boot, go to safe mode again, go to Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, drill down to Monitors, and delete all the monitor devices installed. After a reboot, system should start up and find new hardware, and install Plug and Play monitor. Set the optimum resolution of 1280x1024 as written before.

Hello i have a 50 inch plasma tv and cannot hook my toshiba satellite laptop up to it via a D cable. Get message that mode is not supported. Help!

Hello,

Please set the output resolution of the Laptop to something within the range of the TV.

On the laptop desktop, change the "settings" of the 2nd monitor to 1024 x 768.

You should then get a picture, once you have the picture you can increase the resolution to the one you want.

If you have the TV manual you can check and see what it will accept.

Thanks

Not supported mode error

Hi, boot up to an F8 and select safe mode. While there change your screen settings to 800X600.

The available resolutions in the windows operating system has to be compatble with the TV screen you are hooked up to. try lower settings first.
Thank you and god luck.

TV won't accept monitor input

Try changing your computers resolution to something much lower. Mode Not Supported is usually an error regarding the Display Resolution of the video card being set higher than the monitor is capable of handling.
