  • HT200131 When I connect my MacBook Air to my TV using Apple TV, the audio stays on my MacBook and does not transfer to my TV. Thus the volume is very low when I am watching a Movie on my TV and I have to listen to the volume from my laptop. How can I fix

    When I connect my MacBook to my television using Apple TV the audio stays on the MacBook and doesn't transfer to the TV. How can I make it so I can hear the Movie or Video through my TV's speakers and not my MacBook's?

    This is called "extended desktop mode".  It's an extension of the desktop off to the right (by default) of your MBair screen.  Grab an app and drag it off the right side of your MBair screen and it will appear on the TV.
    To mirror your MBair screen on the TV you can press Command F1.  This will toogle between mirror and extended desktop.
    You can find all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

  • Having difficulty -- via airplay -- w/ streaming sites from ipad2 to g2 apple tv -- get audio but not video -- what gives???

    having difficulty - via airplay --w/ streaming sites from ipad2 to g2 apple tv -- get audio but not video -- what gives???

    What site are you trying to watch?  I just tested 3.  The you tube app streams from the pad to apple tv fine, as long as the source video format is ok.  Checked a site called funny or die.com. Most of the videosmthere stream to apple tv fine.  A few have a different format, and do audio only.  Netflix does not stream at all, but you can get to netflix directly from apple tv.  Whether or not it streams is directly related to the format of the video.  Some do, some dont.

  • Apple's Core Audio drivers have been corrupted?

    Since upgrading to Leopard, my Alesis USB Multimix8 mixer has been increasingly getting more and more static output and has become about useless. After trying everything I could think of, I wrote to Alesis and this is what their support said...
    "With Apple’s latest updated OS Leopard, it seems Apple’s Core Audio drivers have been corrupted and affects many class compliant devices such as the Multimix 8 USB which relies on these drivers. Until Apple addresses this with a fix, the best workaround is to back-down to 10.4.10, especially if this will be used in a professional studio."
    Does this sound correct to anyone? Is theAudio Core drivers that bad on Leopard and is this something that Apple even plans to address?
    Thanks!

    Hi, everyone.
    Alesis is VERY quick to point the finger at Apple for all their woes, but after my last experience, I'm thinking this is Alesis' problem.
    At one time I was running my Alesis MultiMix8 FireWire and getting constant kernel panics while working on audio and video deadlines. As this was the famed 8-core (rolling off the assembly lines in May and all that) I was banging my head against the wall. It finally came down to me bringing in all of my office into Apple's Genius Bar at Tysons Corner, VA and trying to duplicate the occurrence.
    The culprit was the Alesis driver.
    When I upgraded to Leopard and the new Alesis FireWire driver, I have encountered no KPs or odd audio issues. Confident, I decided to try out the Alesis iMultiMix8 USB for the Second Edition of Podcasting for Dummies. I got a high-pitched whine/static when I tried working with the audio mixing between iPod and mixer. I returned the mixer and exchanged it for another one. Same problem. I then went and tested the iMultiMix on my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11. Problem still existed. I wrote to Alesis and told them about the iMultiMix, asking them if this was a common issue.
    No response.
    While Leopard has solved the issues of the KP and continues to perform like a champ, I have been talking to other friends working on both 10.5 and 10.4 having issues with Alesis mixers and USB-powered pre-amps. It sounds less of an Apple issue and more of an Alesis issue.
    I think all we can do is wait for Alesis to resolve the problem they are failing to acknowledge is theirs. Not much of an answer, but apparently this the way things appear to be.

  • Apple TV loosing Audio during Video play avery 30 minutes

    My Apple TV looses audio about every 30 minutes only during movies. solution for me, stop play, go back, restart movie where I left off and it works again for 30 minutes. I have the latest software. Thanks for any suggestions that could solve this problem.

  • Does Apple TV output audio via both HDMI and Toslink at the same time?

    I would like to know if Apple TV outputs audio via both the HDMI and Toslink ports AT THE SAME TIME... 
    Ideally, I want to use it in my main zone connected to my TV via HDMI and convert the Toslink signal to analog to be exported to Zone 2 on my receivers.  (My receiver - as do most - can only direct analog sources to Zones 2, 3, and 4)

    Hey Bob,
    I have this same issue.  I was wondering what model of toslink to analog adapter you went with and how well it works?
    Thanks!

  • Play video from apple tv and audio from macbook , its possible, please ?

    play video from apple tv and audio from macbook , its possible, please ?
    because i dont have airport and i have a micro plugged to my speakers

    If you mean "can I play a video file's video part via AppleTV and the audio part via the Macbook" then the answer is no.
    You could probably play the video on AppleTv and also play it on the Macbook and output the audio, but you would have to do this manually, and 2 applications accessing the same video file might cause stuttering playback issues. Additionally you'd have to manually sync the audio and lip sync problems are annoying at the best of times.
    If you mean "can I watch a video from AppleTV and play separate music via iTunes on the Macbook", then the answer is yes.

  • My apple Tv has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server.

    My Apple TV has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server or computer and even internet. I can hear the click sound it makes when you click on the icons, but when the movie starts there is no audio. This even happens when using XBMC. I have HMDI directly to my TV suing Apple TV 2. I have tried resetting, turning off both TV and Apple TV, and changing the HDMI cable. It is driving me nuts.

    XMBC requires a hack, we cannot help with hacked devices.

  • Do i need a special licence to sell music in the Apple AIF/AIFF audio file

    hello im a music producer, i sell customer non exclusive licences to my musical productions my question is Do i need a special licence to sell music in the Apple AIF/AIFF audio file. like i know for the Mp3 File format if i make a certain amount in sales or whatnot i would have to pay the owners of the MP3 file format royalties so im wondering if apple has some restrictions on using the apple AIFF/AIF file format in commercial digital downloads etc.
    also wondering if there is any information regarding my issue anywhere on the apple site or if its in logics paper booklet or something, 

    I would think that if there is any information available from Apple, it would be found on their legal page. http://www.apple.com/legal/

  • Apple TV 2 audio - Optical to Analog & other speaker options

    I have an the apple tv 2 connected to a monitor with an HDMI to DVI cable. The picture is great but my monitor does not have speakers, nor does it have HDMI or auido out of any sort. I was thinking of using the optical jackon the ATV2 to plug into some speakers, but there are some questions I have about that.
    Optical to 3.5mm analog? I have some existing speakers I can use but the input is AUX as a 3.5mm analog headphone jack. I don't know of any cable that converts optical to 3.5mm analog. I think I could get a bunch of converters but that would be expensive and I'm not sure how well it would work. Is there a cable that can do this conversion?
    Speakers with optical input? I am considering purchasing speakers that take audio in. This setup is in my bedroom and so I don't want giant speakers and an amplifier. I just need simple speakers or a small soundbar that would take optical in. I was thinking of something like this http://amzn.to/iG1Rw1 but it appears to also need an analog input (RCA in back or analog 3.5mm in front). Do you know of any speakers that are small (hopefully okay sounding) that would take optical or optical mini in (I know an optical toslink to 3.55 optical mini cable exists).
    Is there a wireless solution? Because of where my new apple tv setup is placed ideally I would like to have speakers on the other side of the room (then they could be bigger) but the only way I would want to accomplish this is wirelessly. I had a chat with somone ont he apple site and they said that ATV2 will only connect with audio out through a cable (HDMI or optical) not wirelessly.
    Anyone have any ideas of what I could do?

    Audio over HDMI and optical should be active simultaneously.
    If a movie has a Dolby Digital soundtrack this will get output over optical, if not or if a TV Show or music track/video it outputs stereo linear PCM 16 bit and supposedly 48 kHz not 44.1 kHz having decoded any compressed audio track such as AAC or MP3 first.
    Check the amp input setting - if set to 5.1 and getting a stereo feed it may not register - maybe try an auto type setting.  Odd though as it's working from Sky - same input?

  • Can I send Apple TV 2 audio to Airport Express

    I can't seem to find an answer for this respect to the ATV2.  Everything I read talks about using Airplay to stream from iTunes on a computer to either the Apple TV or to an Airport Express.  However, what I'd like to do is have the audio from my Apple TV (whether it's Netflix, Internet Radio, rented movies, etc.) sent from the Apple TV to my home stereo.  I have no way to get a wire all the way from the TV to the stereo so I was hoping to get an Airport Express and plug it into my stereo and then hopefully the audio from the Apple TV could play through it.  I just can't confirm that it will work.  The chat guy at the Apple Store said yes but I have no confidence in that answer because he couldn't give any details on how it would be set up.
    Does anyone have an answer?  If it won't work with the Airport Express, does anyone have a solution that I could implement to get the job done?  I'd like the have better audio when watching movies or playing slideshows with music.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, but unlike an iTunes host, the Apple TV is not a Media Server and, as far as I know, you would not be able to stream from it ... at least not yet. Interestingly, with the Apple TV 2 using iOS as its operating system (the older version used a slimmed-down version of OS X), there may be an app developer out there that will come up with the means to do so in the not too distant future.

  • Why can't I stream video from my iphone to Apple TV but audio works fine?

    I have an iphone 3gs.

  • Apple tv delivers audio over hdmi but mac mini does not, why?

    My Apple TV, 3rd Gen, delivers audio and video over one HDMI cable. When I have the Mac mini connected I can get only video and this is very frustrating. Has anyone else encountered this situation and can someone tell me how I can fix it?
    I would appreciate positive answers, not all of these "I don't know" or "I'm not sure" that I see everywhere.
    Thank you very much!

    Have you selected HDMI in System Preferences->Sound->Output?
    Also, do you have anything plugged into the Audio Line Out jack of
    the Mini.  If so, unplug the device.  On the Mac Mini, pluggng anything
    into Line Out disables all other audio outputs.
