Which hdmi cables and how to connect iPad?

Can someone recommend an hdmi cable for appletv device to my tv?   Also, how do I connect my ipad2 to the appletv or is that the mirroring thru
WIFI?  I need a geek squad for free,

Any decent HDMI cable will work from your Apple TV to your TV. Go to Radioshack, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, etc. and get one the length you need.
To use your iPad with your Apple TV you need a wireless network in your house, both the Apple TV and the iPad must be connected to the same network, and you will need to turn on Airplay in the Settings menu on your Apple TV.

  • Netflix tells me to turn off AirPlay mirroring but no AirPlay symbol on control center. I'm only connected to a hdmi cable and VGA adapter. It's on an iPad mini.

    No airplay signal shows up and I'm not connected to anything else other than the VGA cable and that one connected to the hdmi cable.

  • How to connect a MBP to a BENQ external monitor using a HDMI cable and a HDMI to mini display adapter?

    Hi, I have just bought a brand new HDMI cable and HDMI to minidisplay adapter  and tried to connect my Macbook Pro up. The external display knows it is there but it is not getting any signal. I have tried on another TV and it also says no signal and I also tried using another Mac but it still didn't work.
    Can anyone help?

    In some versions of Mac OS X, with the Displays pane open, holding the Option key will show the detect displays button in the lower right.
    I am using OS X Mavericks. Where did the Detect Displays button go?
    You can find the Detect Displays button in the Displays section of System Preferences. Once there, press and hold the Option key to see the Detect Displays button in the lower-right corner. You can click this button to manually detect another display.
    Another technique is to sleep and wake your computer, which will send the detect display sequence as well.

  • How to connect iPad to the tv via HDMI cable

    we have a HDMI cable and an adapter for the iPad but it still won't connect, it isn't the cable or the tv as it works with other devices

    I myself made the experience that the adapter set-up causes a lot of trouble. After the last iOS update it stopped working for me and could not be reactivated. I almost tried everything but I couldn't make it work again. I bet that in some years the video-out option over lightning will be cut-off completely. My solution: I got an Apple TV and am now streaming all my content via wifi (found  a good tutorial here). Sold my Lightning adapter on ebay. The Apple TV isn't actually that much more expensive but got some nice features. Works great with my iPad and I should have bought it right away But please, Apple, if you don't want us to use the Lightning adapter then just don't offer it at all...

  • I have a 2011 i5 iMac and I am trying to connect it to my Samsung PS50C680 Plasma TV. I am using a MDP to HDMI cable and using HDMI 1 which is the correct input according to the manual. No matter which I turn on first the iMac still cannot connect.

  • New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

    I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
    It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
    I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
    Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
    Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
    P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
    Thanks!

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one

    hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    Hello gman0700.
    Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to produce audio through an HDMI connection. I apologize for the late response, but I will do my best to assist you. Before anything else, please answer these questions:
    1. What is the current computer's operating system? Does the same behaviour occur on multiple operating systems?
    2. The title seems to imply that there is no audio when connected to a television, using HDMI. Does this only occur when you connect to a television? Will it occur if you connect to something else using HDMI?
    3. Have you tried connecting to a television using VGA or DVI? If so, what are the results?
    As an additional suggestion, for now, I would review the television's manual to confirm that everything is correct from the television's standpoint.
    Please post this information as soon as you can. Thank you posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

    My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.  This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

    Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
    If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

    I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)
    DAC

  • HDMI cable and wireless router for bluray

    Hi. We just purchased a Samsung Blu-ray player, model BD-C 6500. We want to connect it to our 46" samsung LED TV  and stream movies from Netflix.  I
    was wondering which HDMI cable would be best to use to connect it? We also havea Netgear Rangemax router WPN824 v 2. Will it work  or will we need
    to get a different one? 

    Quote That information is not 100% accurate. Although the "Hz" of the cable may not change, not every HDMI can support 'ethernet' passthrough or 3D capabilities. - - - - - But not every TV supports it either. Even cheap cables like those from Blue Jeans cable can and do support ethernet passthrough. I am not sure that 3D capabilities has anything at all to do with the cable. It certainly does not require greater bandwidth or greater overhead, or it cannot be broadcast on a single channel. Also, cheaper cables will have cheaper materials which means the tips can break more often. - - - -- - - Completely irrelevant. With proper care, cheaper cables will not have a higher incidence of "broken tips". I have never had a broken tip on any of my HDMI cables. Having a gold plated tip does allow for a more secure connection along with better soldering. - - - - - Actually, unless the device they plug into has gold plated connectors, then using a gold plated cable can actually promote corrosion in high humidity areas due to the dielectric effect. I know this...I live in Hawaii. I do not use gold plated cables unless the devices at both ends have gold plated connectors. Again, this is high school level stuff. And thirdly, cheaper cables tend to be "thinner" which typically means less insulation or 'shielding'. This ofcourse is a negative side effect when running cables longer lenghts. Can you cite a specific example of "thinner"? "Less Insulation"? "less shielding"? You do realize that since it is a digital signal, crosstalk is not an issue, so therefore shielding is irrelevant (except to market more expensive cables to those that do not understand the nature of HDMI protocols. You are not to blame...it is the way you are trained to believe, even though for the most part it is all hooey. If you buy something cheap, your going to get what you pay for, end of story. - - - - - - - - True. When I buy less expensive cables, I still get an HDMI cable that delivers the full HDMI signal and HDMI experience at a lower cost, allowing me to use that money to buy movies to watch. When you buy the more expensive cables, you are paying for flashier packaging, advertising, and non-features that seem to make the cable better. Perhaps you can find a knowledgeable cable technician, a broadcast engineer, or an installation specialist who are truly knowledgeable in real world use of HDMI, who are unswayed by the advertising schtick of the "super mega hyper cable" companies who will take some time and sit with you and discuss the nature of digital signals and the HDMI protocol in particular. You might actually learn something that is real and honest. Again, it is not your fault. You are trained to believe that certain cables are "better" so that you can sell cables at higher prices and lower margins. It is just the way it is done in retail. In closing, I offer you a challenge. Connect the best Blu-ray player in the store to the best display you have in the store, but connect it through an HDMI switcher. On one side, put your most expensive super mega hyper cable, and on the other put a $9 cable from the internet or wally world. Have someone secretly switch between the two cables without your knowing which is which. You will be unable to tell a difference with your eyes or your ears. Nuff said.
