Appletv connected by dvi to old tv gets no audio
I realise my old TV - hd ready and all is not great for the AppleTV2 but its all i got. It connects via hdmi to dvi cable but no sound. what next.. i can get use the optical audio out from teh appletv2 to the tv but i have no optical audio in!!
a convertor? is there such a thing
ior any other suggestions??
I too have just bought an Apple TV to work with an older TV and have no audio.
I've successfully linked up the ATV HDMI-out port with the TV's DVI-in port with a simple cable.The video is fine. I've also connected a Toslink optical cable between the ATV and the TV's optical-in port. But still no sound. Using the settings menu I've turned off Dolby and set the audio to 16 bit and no improvement. The cable is brand new and I can see red light coming out of the end when it's plugged into the ATV.
Any suggestions?

New AppleTV connecting to 4 year old reciever
Just purchased the 2nd generation AppleTV and found that the receiver on my 4 year old Sony home theater system only has one optical audio port. That port is currently used for the Comcast set-top box. I am thinking of trying an optical audio splitter on the receiver's port. The AppleTV and set-top box would share the same input on the receiver. Is this the best solution or would there be a more effective solution? Thanks for your help!
hi,
there is a 2nd way for getting audio out of the apple tv: hdmi. your tv/display may have an audio output which you may connect to your receiver. your tv would work as an audio pass-through device.
hope that helps,

How to connect two DVI screens to Thunderbolt Display's Thunderbolt Port?
Hi everyone,
I have a new MBP and an external Thunderbolt Display. The Thunderbolt Display itself has a Thunderbolt port, and I was wondering if there is anyway to connect to DVI screens to that. My goal is to have the Thunderbolt Display and 2 x 24" Samsung DVI screens connected to my MBP.
Alternatively, has anyone had success using a third party device like the Matrox 2 go to drive multiple monitors from the usb port?
Thanks,
Dave.You could try a TB>DVI adapter (here's one from Monoprice) but I don't know that it will work - I'm thinking that you could have at least one of your Samsung displays use it. You may also want to see if you can find a HDMI>DVI adapter for your second Samsung display - something like this?
I know that I've seen three monitor set-ups on YouTube - but I'm not sure what was connected to what. Easy enough to daisy-chain ATDs but it gets a bit tougher when utilizing HDMI ports, etc., and I'm not sure about the GPUs ability to drive all three displays.
Oops - sorry - strike that second paragraph - I thought that you were running a Retina display MBP...

MacBook Air mid-2013 OSX 10.9.1 cannot connect to DVI Monitor
Does anyone else have this problem? I've seen similar issues raised, but so far can't find a solution to my particular issue:
MacBook Air Mid 2013 (ordered Jan 2014)
- 1.3GHz Intel Core i5
- 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
- OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks.
When I connect my MacBook Air to any monitor (well, I've tried three monitors: Benq, NEC and Samsung) the monitor will not detect an attached computer. The MacBook also does not think it's connected to an external display.
If I connect via VGA cable, it works fine most of the time*, so the display port seems to work only for VGA and not DVI.
I am using mini display port adapters (DVI and VGA) purchased from the Apple Store.
The adapter for the mini display to DVI works fine, since I can get my 2009 MacBook unibody to connect to an external display via DVI without issue. So it's not the adapter, or the DVI cable.
I have tried resetting the System Management Controller for my MacBook air but it does not work. No matter how many times I reset the computer (Hard reset, Soft power down, SMC reset) I cannot get it to connect via DVI.
Has anyone experienced this issue, or seen a resolution for it?
*The only other symptom I get periodically, is that after being disconnected from a VGA monitor, the computer will periodically (about 2/5 times) not connect to the VGA monitor either without a reboot. However it will connect most of the time, and ALL of the time after a reboot.
Thank youThanks themachead: I have tried the adaptors on different macs, as I indicated in my post. The adaptor works fine with a different mac
Yes, I have also tried starting up with the monitor connected, and disconnected.
I just got off the phone with Apple Care. They couldn't solve my issue through normal means, but during one attempt, we closed my MacBook Air while it was connected to the external display, with my Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard connected via Bluetooth. The external monitor did not come on. However when I opened my Macbook Air's screen, we saw that my Mac had crashed and prompted me to reboot. When it did, the external monitor worked. I have been able to disconnect and reconnect the monitor and it seems to be working now. I will see what happens after a few attempts. -
Ethernet port not connected - airport working - not able to get online
Hi, new poster. Never had an issue with our beloved iMac 20 inch Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz - 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. It's old but it serves us, we hope it's not shot. Power goes out a lot here, system has surge protection but no battery backup. System just goes down without being shutdown properly. We used wired Ethernet. No the problem. Last time power just went out, the system would not boot up. I searched around and found out to use the DVD to verify/repair disk. It finally did and system now boots up. However, it says the Ethernet is not connected. It is. I tried three different cables that worked with our laptop and two different routers, all that happens is the light on the router flashed on and off. While on the network status in sys pref displays no cable detected vs. Cable connected but not connected to internet. Assumed the port was shot. OK, turned on the airport. Connects, gets DHCP assigned IP address and/or accepts static IP but when we launch Safari says it can't connect. Tried Opera browser, same thing. Sophos AV also can't connect for updates. All these network configurations had worked previously until this last power outage. Searched for help, as I don't want to waste peoples time. Found out about these things that follow: SMC RESET - PRAM RESET - Delete connection and recreate same - Network Diagnostics - Hardware Diagnostics - Verify & Repair disk ••• Nothing makes it connect to Internet. Network diagnostics gets to end but will not get connected. Hardware diagnostics regular and extended report no issues. We think the logic board is shot given everything we tried and symptoms with system. Can anyone suggest something we did not try of the things we did listed above? Please help us save this thing from the recycling center. Thanks in advance. Sorry for the long post, wanted to be thorough with what's going on and what we have already tried and done thanks to searching these forums for the last week.
Yikes, sounds like big problems!

what cable do i need to use to connect my grandson's old style external isight webcam to his 2014 Mac mini in order for him to be able to FaceTime me
You need either a FireWire 800 to FW 400 cable or a FR 800 (male)/FW(female) adopter.
However. it the Mini (note that you still have the late 2012 Mini, Apple has not updated the Mini since then) has Mavericks it may not work satisfactorily. I tried it on my 2102 and I get abount 1 frame every 20 seconds. Another uses posted same problem.
However, it it work fine on my late 2009 Mini with Mavericks -

HT5918 how to connect 6 DVI Displays to MacPro
Apple states can connect up to 6 DVI displays to a MacPro explanation is not clear. Mixes Mini-Display and USB terminology. What does it mean?
The article you linked to includes:
Mac Pro supports a total of two single-link DVI displays. If you connect a third DVI display using a passive adapter or a display via HDMI, it will cause one of the three displays to become inactive.
Can I connect more than 2 DVI or HDMI displays?
Mac Pro supports a total of two DVI or HDMI displays when connected via the built-in HDMI port or using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. To connect additional DVI displays, use an active DVI adapter such as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. You can connect up to six active adapter DVI displays. This requires a powered USB hub since Mac Pro offers four USB ports and you will need six to connect them all.
If your display are 1080p pr less they you can use 2 standard/passive mini displayport to DVI adapters and 4 active mini displayport to DVI adapters. If 1080p or less you do not need the dual-link adapter which are active. Yo can get less expensive active adopters.
If any of your display are greater than 1080p you need the dual-link adapter. Those included a connection to USB for power. These cost about $100 each for the Apple branded ones -

Single DVI connection to DVI - DVI - Y cable hook up
I have an HP Envy H8 1500 DT - with an AMD FX(tm)-6120- Six Core Processor running WIN 8.1 - and thought I could connect two DVI monitors to my one DVI port on this machine by using a DVI Y Cable. Both monitors work with the cable but the option in preference - says it can't detect two monitors? Do I need another device/adapter?

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.
Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it. -
Wirelessly Connected to Home Hub 3, Cannot Get Int...
Hello,
BT Infinity installed on 6th June Home Hub 3 (type B). Previously on BT Broadband.
One laptop computer connects to the hub but will not connect to the Internet wirelessly (connects wired). Running Windows 7. Cannot surf, Skype.
Have been on to tech support (for hours!) they tried all the usual (change channel, update drivers, took control of laptop remotely, everything possible done).
Still not working, although did get a very brief sporadic connection.
Computer in question (Samsung Netbook, "n" connection) worked perfectly on old BT Broadband, works out of the house on wifi connections.
Has anyone had this problem? Are there any solutions?
Thanks.Hi guys you most likely have this solved already but just incase I have recently encountered the same problem with my 'netbook'
I have tried everything from installing new drivers to creating a 'disable' registry key for IPV6 .. The way I solved this and hope it works for you was...
Go to you your sharing point and open wireless network connection.
Click properties
In the dialogue box uncheck 'internet protocol version 6 (tcp/ipv6)
Then above it click 'configure'
Another dialogue box will open informing you that you have made changes.
Click 'yes'
This will open up in my case 'RealTek' driver.
Click on 'advanced' tab
'Wireless mode'
Go to right hand side of dialogue box and select 'value' drop down box
Select 'IEEE 802.11b/g'
These deselects the 'n' router aspect as I believe our network adapters can't function with this.
Now click 'ok'
Let computer re-connect to router.
Now try opening web pages.
Problem solved (",)
Hope this helps guys.
If you want to disable the IPV6 through registry I will put up details on how to do this but I believe this should suffice. -
