Yes I have a Mac, where to go from here...

So I've somehow lost my ability to use HDMI on any TV.  I used to be able to set it up through the display but now my 'arrangement' tab is gone.  So it makes it impossible to sync up with the tv.  Anyone have any idea why this would have happened and how I could get it back?

Anyone update to Mavericks yet? I just realized I could the other day and I was going to until I got this message. Looks like I'm holding off for a bit.

Dear WD Registered Customer,

As a valued WD customer we want to make you aware of new reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9). WD is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications. Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer.

The WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager, and WD SmartWare software applications are not new and have been available from WD for many years, however solely as a precaution WD has removed these applications from our website as we investigate this issue. .

Sincerely,
Western Digital

So I take it nobody has ever experienced this.
Netflix is getting pretty annoying on my Macbook.  :|

I doubt there is a systems prefs settings to disable the output.

Could be a cable issue? TV input problem? MacBook output?

Does your MacBook support Airplay? Maybe it's time to buy an Apple TV and go wireless?

Word on the street is Mavericks is also causing problems with Apple Mail.

What's that? The Apple mail client? People actually use that?

I've tried different cables, same problem.  Tried different tvs, same.
It could be my hardware on the Mac is my only conclusion at this point.
And the Apple tv is a no brainer, just been trying to get my wife on board, she likes her cable.

Cancel cable TV, buy an Apple TV, download everything off Icefilms, profit?

That's what I put people on here where I work. Outlook doesn't play well with others.

I don't use Apple Mail for personal accounts, however.

I've heard the same thing about apple mail and mavericks. I was going to wait a few weeks until the dust settles before upgrading.

I use it, at home - we have 3 accounts on it, it works well

New Mac Pro goes on sale today.

Alas that I shouldn't have $3k burning a hole in my pocket.

With the departure of our designer here at work, I took the opportunity to grab the huge Thunderbolt display and also finally upgrade my company-issue MBP, which I had been using since spring 2009. Now I'm on a mid-2012 model with better specs and am trying Mavericks for the first time. I had deliberately been avoiding OS upgrades (with the exception of a little-used MB at home) because there were certain things about M/Lion I didn't like and I was happy with Snow Leopard. But so far I'm digging Mavericks.

I got a new Macbook Air and iPad Air at work today, it's like Christmas.

Except for the fact that search in Mail is not working.  :x

for me, Mail has improved dramatically with 10.9.1 and now 10.9.2, especially with Gmail
