Can I output to a 3.0 speaker setup from an iMac?

I play movies stored on my iMac through my speaker system and HDTV using a Mini Display to HDMI cable plugged into my reciever. I'm currently piecing together a 5.1 seperates system but currently only have the front left, front right and centre speakers (3.0). I've played around to try and get the iMac to output though all three speakers but the audio only comes through the left and right channels and ignores the centre speaker completely. Even when I set the output in the 'Audio MIDI Setup' to 5.1 it still doesn't recognise a centre channel.
Any suggestions? Stereo output is fine but it would be nice to get the centre speaker in use rather than just sitting there in silence.

Too niche a question?

  • I am considering buying an iPad 3. I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. On the iMac I have many photos and work with iPhoto and Photoshop Elements on the computer. Can I interchange or transfer photos and other work from the iMac to the iPad? How?

    Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

  • How can i exclude my macbook backup on time capsule from other imac connected to same time capsule?

    we have several mac connected to same time capsule, how can i exclude one macbook backup from all the others mac accessing same time capsule?
    thanks

    Not exactly clear what you mean.. the TC will keep each Mac backup in its own sparsebundle.. it does this automagically.. The backups are not mixed.. all are kept separate.
    Or is this a security question.. you don't want people looking at the contents of the backup?
    You can increase the security of the TC.. but it is too late.. you should have done it when first installed. If you go to the setup you can change security (Secure Shared Disks) by selecting with Accounts.. the problem is you will lose access to all the existing backups. You really need to do a clean start.. create accounts for all the users and start again.
    Also note security is not a big feature here.. anybody with physical access to the TC can press the reset for 1sec and get access. It is a home device not a business device.

  • How can I do a hard reset on my tablet from my imac via usb??? please help

    I've research almost all night and no answers please I need to do a hard reset on my tablet because I can't remember the log in. I've try on the tablet everything I could and nothing so the only thing is left, is do it via USB thru my iMac. please help.

    What tablet...?
    If you have an iPad you can only backup to iTunes and restore it from iTunes on your iMac.
    see > iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    If that doesn't work, then your best bet for an iPad is to take it to your local Apple Store and have them Reset it.
    Your best bet for an android tablet is to take it to the local retailler and have then do whatever it takes to Reset it. 

  • Can I download creative suite 5 web premium setup from somewhere?

    I got the package of creative suite 5 web premium but my laptop doesn't read DL Dvds. As far as I could find, Adobe is offering Creative suite 6 trial for download, but 5th version is no where to be found. I've seen a few on torrent sites but I would rather not go there ( altough it doesn't matter as long as I have serial number, does it ?)

  • Can't download doc on MacBook that was uploaded from my iMac. How can?

    1. I create a Pages document on my iMac
    2. Upload it to iCloud
    3. Cannot download on my MacBook.
    4  Only after I have opened it on my iPad it can be downloaded on my iMac and MacBook again.
    How Can ?

    If you sync with the new computer it will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the selected content of the new computer.
    The pics that you have taken with the iphone should be imported regularly to your computer as you would with any digital camera.  You can then organize them and sync them back to the iphone if you wish.
    If you have had itunes perform a backup on the new computer, you should get the pics taken with the iphone back, but I would import them before trying anything.

  • Modifying CAN Signal Output Waveform.vi

    I have been working with the CAN Signal Output Waveform.vi trying to get data from my analogue input moduel (NI 9205) onto a CAN bus via my NI 9862.
    I started off by working with the example VI; CAN Signal Output Waveform.vi (attached at the bottom of this post) and that worked fine, I could clearly see the data coming over the CAN bus into my analysis tool in real-time. To modify the vi I removed the Signal Generation components and added DAQmx Read blocks (again attached at the bottom of this post). When viewing the Waveform Chart window the changes I make to the input is reflected in the Waveform Chart window in real-time; however the data on the CAN bus is delayed by around 1 - 2 seconds. I am using the same XNET database in each setup so that isn't causing the issue.
    The NI modules are housed inside a cDAQ-9178.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, I meant do you have any other VIs that operate after this VI?
    I think you answered my question though, you are just running this VI alone, right? If this is the only subVI that's being run then when it stops, the LabVIEW environment stops as well, which means your DAQmx tasks are no longer running. You need to make an application structure that allows for LabVIEW to continue running after this VI is called. Use this subVI in your initialization step and then have a user interface of some sort that continues operation. You can't just run this subVI and expect all of the DAQmx tasks and operations to continue if LabVIEW isn't running.

    Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
    Here is one way
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6311
    Here is another
    http://www.apple.com/au/osx/server/
    Here is yet another
    If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

  • Using APex with Airtunes from an iMAc can you control playing tunes?

    Hi, got an imac at Xmas, am looking into Airport stuff, and found this APex, with wireless play of iTunes music, Ive been looking into the Philips streamium and stuff doe playing tunes.
    My question is once setup from your iMac to play music wirelessly how can you control it? Ive read the manual but doesnt say anything. So can all you do is press shuffle on the iMac and then it plays everything?
    I know you could do playlists and stuff, but I have all my music, kids music, wife's music in my library, so theres a real mixture, and Im sick of listening to High School Musical!!
    So can you contol the song playing, ie skip etc with it?
    cheers

    iTunes needs to be running in order to stream music to the Airport Express so therefore - no - the Mac running iTunes cannot be in sleep mode. It must be powered up and running, though you could blank the screen if you wish.
    Why did Apple not build the function of the Keyspan Express remote into the Airport Express. Likely because it would have increased the cost of the product by 50%, while at the same time adding a feature most people would be happy to live without - in other words, not a great idea from a product marketing perspective.

  • How can I output up to 7 tracks simultaneously?

    Hello esteemed GB community.
    I have to create a little effect for an upcoming party. For this I need to output the following:
    - at least 4 separate audio channels (stereo front and stereo rear)
    - one mono combination of these four tracks (to drive a Light organ gizmo - makes the light flicker with the audio)
    - and finally one separate track on which I will put pulses to trigger a relay for a fog machine.
    Setting up these tracks in GB should be fairly straigth forward (although my GB experience is very limited I've done a fair amount of audio mixing in FCP - which I imagine is similar) but my question is, how can I output all these tracks so I can feed them to their respective recipients? This means to two stereo setups for audio (or would it be easier to do 5.1 Dolby - $$$ ?) and then to the light organ and to the relay trigger for the fogger.
    I did a search for multitrack but most answers I found dealt mainly with input, not output. I imagine this will require some kinid of an external box, right?
    Budget for this box is very limited, hopefully less than $200. Quality does not have to be very high although a good bass response will be important for the effect.
    Thank you very much for any help.
    Bo

    Thanks for your help, HT. Would Logic be a better choice than ProTools LE for this? (I know next to nothing about them I must confess...)
    I was just thinking, in the worst case scenario, I could just create the 6 audio tracks in GB, then output three stereo mp3 files (stereo front, stereo rear, 2 control tracks), dump each on a separate cheap mp3 player and get a controller that can remote start all of them at the same time...
    Does anyone know of such a cheap mp3 player that can be remote started via a wire connection to a relay? Is there another forum that deals with this kind of issue?
    Thanks again.

    I can hear caller but they can not hear me except when using speaker phone

    First of all,  make sure that your iPhone as the most recent iOS available. Check in "Settings>General>Software Update".
    One other problem could be your microphone. Does it work for anything else other than a call?
    Good-Luck!

    1) What is it doing instead?
    2) Can you repost your code, but use code tags? If you repaste your formated code and place the tag &#91;code&#93; on top of your block of code and then paste &#91;/code&#93; on the bottom of your block, your posted code will retain its formating and be readable.
    Good luck

  • How can I output RCA video?

    How can I output RCA video from the headphone jack of my macbook pro? Is there any software to do this?

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
    thanx

  • Grub can't output to display

    ok, so I  dual boot debian and arch and today I dist-upgraded to wheezy only to find arch gone from the boot menu. I workaround this by chrooting into arch and install grub there, and now and typing from arch. however, on boot after the bios flashes I get this message: can not output to this display. now, hitting enter boot arch, but a. I am completly blind in the grub menu and b. I have no of telling if debian is in the boot menu other then trail and error, which I havn't tried yet because thats really a different issue. any ideas on what might be causing the problem? which arch boots everything is fine from there, this is just a grub issue

    even with arch mounted and os-prober installed debian fails to see arch (i've filed a bug report with debian) arch os-prober sees debian, but like I said, no video so I can't really tell what the menu looks like until I found that problem. anyway, heres /grub/default.
