Driver For Samsung Tv Mac

Welcome to the Samsung forum on CNET! Samsung worked with CNET to create a forum where people can ask questions and talk about all Samsung products and get help with everything from HDTVs, Smart TVs, home theater components, phones, cameras to monitors and printers. This forum is staffed by Samsung employees, but as we have seen in the past, often the most helpful answers come from CNET forum members themselves so please don't consider this just a Q and A with Samsung. Wd my passport mac driver. This is a CNET forum and Samsung is here to be part of the conversation.

Windows and Mac computers come with generic monitor drivers, and Samsung monitors are 'plug and play' devices, so it is usually not necessary to install.

I have a 1GB USB key and a 300GB WD External HD that I have been using to store and watch movies on my two samsung TV's. Both TV's have a USB media port capable of viewing Movies/Photos and music. There was no problem until after watching a movie on the USB stick, I went to my IMAC to copy a new movie to watch.

The movie would not fit so I formatted the key using the IMAC disk utility (why did I format, because I did not realize that after deleting files on an IMAC, the space is not made available until after removing the items from the trash. Live and Learn).Anyway, the was copied and it was readable on both MAC and PC but when put on the TV, the device was detected but no media was found(movie). I then tried it on my other samsung TV and same problem. I then proceeded to try other media, pictures music & movies, still not found.

LYRX is a modern karaoke player for MAC that now offers an in-app karaoke subscription for Party Tyme Karaoke -- a commercially legal library of. Use mac for karaoke youtube.

I then tried my External HD that worked previously on both TV's figuring that it was a format issue on the USB key, still not working. I then tried to re-format both devices on my PC in all formats, Fat, Fat32, NTFS as well as different data block sizes, still not found on TV's. Both devices can be read and writted on both PC and MAC during these tests. I think that the initial MAC format on the USB key being attempted to play on both TV's has corrupted them. Does this sound logical?????

Well, Samsung technical support was unable to offer any troubleshooting other than a reset. Since that failed, they are sending out a repair technician from a local authorized dealer. That technician said he can only replace the main board and there are no other diagnostic capabilities so he is ordering a new main board for both my LCD and Plazma TV's. I have never heard of such poor tech support in any big company before. If it is the board I am inclined to keep corrupting them until someone at Samsung is smart enough to verify the cause and prevent it or at least issue a warning.

If they are willing to send out a tech to replace the board, then they must think it is a possibility but why not try and reproduce the issue in their lab to confirm?? Thejones10, I'm sorry to hear your displeasure, and while I don't speak on our service process, there are two possible reasons this is happening. Apple runs the HFS or HFS+ format. The other reason that the system may identify but not play a specific movie title is the way it was encoded. You would want to make sure that the drive is a MSC device, and maybe get a bigger one that was formatted or designed for Windows. I do know that the service departments would be more likely to replace the board than to solder or replace the actual USB port in the event it was faulty, so if it is a port issue, you'd actually be getting the best possible repair.

Thanks for the reply but. Here is the updated status. The technician that came out brought his own USB stick that did recognize the media on both TV's. We even tried to copy his media files to both of my devices and they were unreadable. So what is preventing media from being recognized on both of my USB and External HD since they had both already worked in the past. Here is what happened.
