Can audio output be simultaneous from HDMI and headphone jack?

I need to be able to output both hdmi and analog audio out of the headphone jack at the same time. Can this be done? Currently, it makes me choose one or the other and won't let me choose both.

As is no. There are some audio rerouting apps out there that could perhaps help, but I am not versed in using them.
Look into AU Lab and JackOSX.

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously.
I seem to be able to select one or the other, but not both ? !
Thanks

No. You can only use one sound output:
Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.

Dual use audio output HDMI and Headphone Jack on MacMini 2010

I am trying to use both the digital HDMI and analog headphone jack at the same time. My indoor home theater system use the HDMI and my outdoor amp and speakers are linked to the analog headphone jack.
Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get both to work simultaneously like I had on my AppleTV. I was actually using the toslink and the HDMI on the ATV.
Anyone have any luck getting both outputs to feed at the same time, maybe by 3rd party software, on the Mac Mini 2010

TS4113 Is there a terminal or other type of workaround to allow sound to come from the HDMI and headphone jack at the same time?

I have a late 2012 Mini, running 10.8.2. I have a set of powered speakers plugged into the headphone jack. My TV is running on a direct HDMI connection. I can only stream sound through HDMI, or even select it as an output, if I unplug my headphone speaker plug. Apple's knowlege base says this is the case. I am looking for a way to have both plugged in all the time, and have the sound mirrored to both.
I use the speakers for itunes music, system sounds, skype, etc.. The HDMI sound is for steaming content to the TV. I don't want to have to reach around behind the computer and unplug/plug each time I switch, for a multitude of reasons. Any ideas out there? Google wasn't getting me very far. Maybe a terminal solution of some sort? Thanks in advance.

it seems that m1r3k found a very good workaround, at least for the Mid 2010 Mac mini models (that I'm using right now). I don't know if it works also with more recent Mac mini models.
Re: After upgrading to lion, cant select HDMI sound setting
Open Audio MIDI Setup.app in /Applications/Utility, click the + (plus) button in the bottom left corner of the window and choose "Create Multi-Output Device". In the new device settings tick the HDMI "Use" checkbox and you're done. Simply go to the usual System Preferences Audio panel and choose the newly created device, without the need to unplug the audio cable from the back of the Mac mini. You can also name the new audio device as you want.
NOTE:
This is only a workaround for a deliberate choice made by Apple on OS X Lion 10.7.2 and beyond:

No sound from HP G62 laptop and can no longer get sound from speakers or headphone jack . USB sworks

have an HP G62 laptop. I can no longer receive sound from speakers or from headphone jack. If I plug speakers into usb - I will get sound. Any ideas?

I don't think I have anything to offer that you haven't done. In Device Manager, Device status says "working properly" and you've reinstalled this driver.
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows XP
Right?
The only other thing I know to do is restore the hard drive to its original factory fresh contents.

Back to back scratch noises from speaker and headphone jack, very faint

I'm having a headphone/speaker issue, but it is very difficult to describe. When I use my computer, the speakers or headphones (if plugged in) will occasionally emit two quick scratchy noises back to back. The speakers and headphones work great, but I can't figure out what the noises are. They sound kinda like if you were to gently scratch the macbook pro casing with your fingernail. Any ideas as to what can cause it to happen?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can't do that in AirPlay Mirroring. AirPlay Mirroring can only mirror your MacBook's display, so you can't do one thing in your Mac's display and another in the TV.
This is a feature that will arrive in Mavericks. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

Can i by iphone 5c from usa and use it in Belgium

can i by iphone 5c from usa and use it in Belgium???

Planning on coming to the US to do so? Factored in import duties? Aware that your warranty/support will only be valid in the US? Aware that the US phone most likely won't support LTE where you live?
Not a good idea, but the phone will work.

The only content that you can download for apps, games, music etc on the iPad is from the App Store or from iTunes. No that game will not work on the iPad.

I'm no Lion expert, but I believe you can boot from the Recovery partition by pressing the Command and R keys on startup, then reinstall.

If you are saying it is locked to AT&T again then you will need to contact AT&T and see if you qualify for an unlock.

HT3702 can i download free content from itunes and app store without any billing information?

I am a iPhone 3gs user firmware version 3.1.3 . the question is can i download free content from itunes and the app store without billing info ? please help !

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.
