Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.

Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.

From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.

If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video: Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).

If more than one video adapter is in use (or 'daisy-chained'), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.Įxample: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.

Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.

Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.

When using an external display be sure to check the following: No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering To start troubleshooting this issue where your TV is showing No Signal with your MacBook Air plugged in, please follow the troubleshooting steps below.
