Not sure what to tell you, I had no issues using the MDP to HDMI. I have a bootcamp win7 install.
After installing windows did you insert the mac os cd and update all the drivers?

I dont even know what to do anymore. I have tried everything the internet has said. No fix. The screen doesnt even flicker. It works fine on OSX. I don't get why this is happening.
Mine is alittle different
I can't get my Mini Display Port to HDMI to work in OS X but it works fine in Windows. This is driving me mad. The OS X knows it's there and I can change the resolution and move the mouse to the other monitor but nothing shows up on my other monitor. It just stays asleep the whole time. In windows it works 100% of the time both at the same time with no problems at all. Note: I have a iMac 21.5 3.06 i3. (2010)

Hello,
I just bought an MDP to HDMI adapter. I haven't tried it on BootCamp yet but it is not working on Mac OS X. My screen keeps telling that there is no signal. I checked the thunderbolt port status on About My Mac->More, it says 'No devices connected.' I had the exact same issue with MDP->DVI->HDMI setting.
I bought my MacBook Pro last month, it's the 13" i5 model.
My screen is an LG M228WA.

Thank you for your answer. Well i already have gfxcardstatus but apparently, 13inch models do not need any dynamic switching.
This has nothing to do with BootCamp. It worked fine it Windows and did not work in the OS X. I fixed it if anyone runs into this problem. Seems to have tons of people that have this problems with no answers.
Went to Best Buy
Paid for a DYNEX Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter ($25)
Came home and plugged in the adapter then the HDMI to DVI cable to the monitor. (Note: Monitor is a LG Flatron L22WTG) - DID NOT WORK
iMac knows monitor is plugged in and I can change the resolution on both monitors and mirror. (Note: Changed to every resolutions with/without mirror image.) - DID NOT WORK
Restarted computer - DID NOT WORK
Turned off/on LG monitor many times - DID NOT WORK
Unplugged/plugged back in many different ways - DID NOT WORK
Changed the HDMI to DVI cable with a better cable - DID NOT WORK
Installed BootCamp with Windows 7 - *BOTH WORK 100%*
Rebooted to OS X 10.6.7 (Snow Leopard) - DID NOT WORK
Installed Windows XP - *BOTH WORKED 100%*
Reinstalled OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) - *BOTH WORKED 100%*
Updated OS X from 10.6.4 to 10.6.7 - DID NOT WORK
Seems to be a driver problem with the new update (10.6.7). I will not update again till drivers are fixed.

Alright I have solved the issue. My MDP-->HDMI adapter works fine now with my LG.
Here is what I did:
In my LG input menu, for HDMI, there's a little arrow indicating PC or DTV. Mine was always set at PC, while everything connected I changed it to DTV and unplugged my screen, waited for awhile then I plugged it back and Voilà!
I hope this helps.

My LG is always set for Digital. You can always back up and try to roll back an update and see if that works. That's what I did now I haven't had a problem at all as long as you don't update. I updated mine a again then I couldn't use the LG again :/. I message Apple and I guess they didn't know about it.
