As there is no sound only picture when connecting my ipad, do I need to also use the audio cable from Apple TV to an older Philips TV?

I have just bought a black Apple TV and it works fine when connecting my iPad to a modern TV.  However on an older Philips TV, there is no sound coming through.  Do I need to use an audio cable from the optical digital audio port in addition to the HDMI cable?  The TV's HDMI does not appear to support sound.

Thanks.  However no luck with this TV so far.  I've purchased a converter to give a digital audio signal from the optical digital audio output port.  The TV has an input audio digital port, but I've had no success in getting sound so far.
Is there any setting in the Apple TV menu that may affect the signal.  I've tried the setting for 16 bit signal, without any success.
Perhaps this Philips TV may just not be compatible with the new black Apple TV.  I have talked at some length with Philips support desk, but they've offered nothing new.

    I did not sync my iPad to iTunes to my PC. Now my iPad is disabled because I forgot my passcode when I installed iOS 7 to it.
    Before anyone cuts and pastes the info from Apple support in response to this, I have already tried those steps. iTunes simply states that it cannot do anything since the iPad is locked with a passcode. I cannot access iCloud to use that specific advice as iCloud will not let me sign in; a message keeps coming up reading that there is an error with the server. Remote Swipe? Not sure. It is three hours later, and I am no further.
    What else can I do? I never had a passcode set up when I first got my iPad. I would have bypassed this with the installation of iOS 7 if I had known about this.
    Thank you in advance.

    You can only play 720p video.
    Download the 720p or standard def version.

  • Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook?

    Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook?  We use Apple Configurator and would love to be able to set up the MacBook to open Apple Configurator when we  plug in an iPad.

    When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

    MPEG means a whole bunch of different formats. What are the exact specs of your media? MPEG files often have multiplexed audio. You will probaby have to convert this.

  • IPod 5 sound only works when head phones are pluged in

    Sound only works when ear phones are pluged in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • TS1702 I have apps with no sound only picture?

    I have apps with no sound only picture? wheel on the bus is one.

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • My balance sounds horrible when is at the center ... it only happen when I plug my Headphones... if a move the balance to the left/right i have a mono sound in my headphonesleft/right

    My balance sounds horrible when is at the center ... it only happen when I plug my Headphones... if I move the balance to the left/right i have a mono sound in my headphones left/right

    I too am experiencing this issue after upgrading to Mavericks. Headphone audio balance seems to always stick to the far right. When moved to the center, it still only outputs sound to the right side. I have to constantly adjust the setting a little to the left of center for both sides to output sound equally.

  • No picture when connecting iMac to TV via S-Video

    We have an '07ish iMac, and an older TV with only composite and S-video.
    We've connected a mini-DVI to video adapter, an S-video cable, and an audio cable, switched the TV over to the correct video input, clicked 'detect displays', and tried every single resolution. We got a little blip of white on the TV screen when we plugged the mini-DVI port in, but other than that—black screen. (We did get the sound.)
    Thinking maybe *just maybe* we'd get a different result using a composite cable instead, we tried that too. Still nuthin'.
    After reading through some other posts on connecting Macs to TVs, we tried restarting the computer. Still nuthin'.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Here are the adapters and cables I'm using:

    Hi eb
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Could be a bad Dynex adapter, return that one for another and/or cough up the extra $3 for Apples.
    I'm now using a Mini-DVD to to DVI and a 21.5 LG monitor, but my Apple Mini-DVI to Video adapter and my 27" Sharp served me well for a couple of years.
    See the Tip in > http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23844?
    +Tip: To make sure that your iMac automatically detects the external display or projector, be sure you plug the adapter into the external display or projector before you plug it into the iMac.+
