Apple TV to old speakers

Hi everybody,
some months ago I bought a 3rd Generation Apple TV. I always used it on my HD TV and it worked perfectly.
But I'm facing a problem in these days: I want to connect my Apple TV to my 20 inch monitor. The video works well with the HDMI to VGA adapter with a resolution of 1280x1024 (60Hz). But the problem is the audio. I've got a 2.1 audio system with just a 3,5mm jack input.
Is there a way to convert the optical audio output of the Apple TV into an analogic signal for my speakers?
Thanks in advance to everybody.
Angelo

Ok. I saw this product in the Store and I thought it would be perfect for my problem.

Griffin adaptor for old apple pro clear bubble speakers?

what is the griffin adaptor for using old apple pro clear bubble speakers?

It was actually the Griffin iFire that adapted the Apple Pro speakers to newer Macs:

Long discontinued, their price on the used market is usually well in excess of the cost of a really nice, current set of external speakers.

Apple Power Mac G4 speakers - connecting to Airport Express?

Hi.
Is it possible to connect the old Apple Power Mac G4 speakers (ie. those displayed at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300153379805&fromMakeTrack= true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:middle:uk) to my Airport Express?
That is, do the two devices have compatible jack and jack socket?
Thanks

Simply converting the mechanical connection isn't enough.
There used to be a device called an iFire which allowed you to use those speakers with any computer that had FireWire. That device has been discontinued for a very long time. Anyway it wouldn't allow you to connect the speakers to an AX.
You need powered speakers to use with the AX.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

Can I listen to music from my Apple TV to self - powered speakers and watch regular tv at the same time? I don't have a central receiver that splits everything, just the apple tv and the speakers.

Trying to play music from my apple tv directly to speakers and at the same time watch tv. Now I'm not that advanced at technology so I kinda need the easiest way to do this. Now I see that the Apple tv has an optical audio output. Can I set that optical out to self powered speakers and then have regular RCA cables set out from the tv to the same speakers and watch the tv on mute, unless I want to turn it up for a moment. I want to be able to airplAy music through my apple tv but also put a game on at the same time if I have guest. I hope my question was clear enough, but that's the best that I can explain it. Oh by the way, I do not have one of those centrAl hub receiver where all the speakers are plugged into and where you can set different inputs and outputs out of it. Everything would be a direct connection.

yes. u dont need the tv. turn it off.
1. direct connection (optical or stereo cables) to your amplifier
2. use mac to play to atv, or iphone/ipod touch to remote control the atv. (wifi)
works as a charm, Ive done this for several years..

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

I have to reset factory settings but Apple ID is old email no longer used. I can't recall the password and when I went to answer security questions it told me my date of birth was wrong. How do i rest password but get it sent to my current email addr

Connect apple tv to computer speakers.

Hello,
What can I use to connect the apple tv to computer speakers? I know it has digital output but speakers only have 3.5 m jack input.
Is there any cable that will make this possible?

See https://discussions.apple.com/message/18084600#18084600. In other words, the answer appears to be no unless you're willing to live with some serious compromises.

Hooking up old speakers to new iMac

I have an old MacPro circa 2006 and I'm thinking about getting an 27"iMac . Currently, my speakers are hooked up in the back to the port with the speaker that has sound waves. I noticed that the iMac only has a port with two speakers. What is the difference between those two and will it cause me a problem hooking up the old speakers?

What's the difference between those two speaker ports (1 speaker emitting sound waves vs. two little speakers) ? And will the cable I'm now using work in the new iMac? It is presently plugged into the port with a picture of one speaker/sound waves. Sorry for being so uneducated on this.

Apple does not take trade-ins. You'll have to look for a dealer that does, though you'll probably get more for the iPad 1 if you sell it yourself.

How i can delete and remove apple ID of old user and add my current apple ID to used i pod touch?

how i can remove and delete apple ID of old user and add my current apple ID to used I POD TOUCH

Unfortunately, you cannot delete Apple IDs but what you can do is go to Settings>Store>and sign out of the old Apple ID on your iPod and the sign in to the new Apple ID.
All of the apps that were purchased under the old ID will still need the old ID's password for updates.
