Can't get sound to tv from MBP. PLEASE HELP.

I am having trouble getting sound to the tv from my MBP. I tried it on two televisions, a sharp and an LG. The only way I could get sound was through a stereo receiver on the sharp, and that took some doing.... So, I tried on the tv I mainly watch - and no sound. Is there possibly a setting within the tv, or should sound be automatic once i connect the rca into the headphone port on MBP.
The tv has the hdmi for video, and ports for audio, I plugged the white and yellow. I know it is probably something really simple - but I have tried all that I know to do. Thanks in advance....

You need an adapter. Mini DisplayPort can not output audio.

Then you need another HDMI to HDMI cable to connect this adapter to TV

Hi sallywinddancer,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums.
I see you are having sound issues when you hookup your tv to your notebook with an HDMI cable.
I would be happy to help you. Firstly, a few more details about your notebook would be helpful, as there are many different versions of the HP 2000 Notebook. Please read the following documents, if you need help in finding your product/model number and OS version.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Has your HDMI/TV connection ever had sound before, and if so were there any updates that could have affected it?
Some general information that may be helpful for you:
Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8)
Overview of HDMI and DVI Connections for PCs
In the following link, please pay particular attention to the section on Troubleshooting TV setup as a second monitor.
Using Two or More Monitors with One Computer (Windows 8)
Other things that could help would be to insure that you have updated all the video and audio related drivers for your notebook. The drivers can normally be found from the product page for your notebook, or from the original chipset manufacturer. I would link that page to this, but I need the exact product/model number to get the right page for you.
Another thing that could help with drivers is the: HP Support Assistant as it can automate the driver updates for you.
Please let me know if any of this information has been useful to you, or if you need any further help.

How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?

Hi Gurus;
I'm using dynamic search help in my program.
I want to get multi column values from search help. But I dont know solution for this issue.
I'm using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM.
How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?
Thanks.

Believe it or not, the same FM worked for me in a dynpro. I will try to explain here how it works in custom screen and then you can do your work for other screens or program types. I am not going to write my actual work but will explain in general.
I have 4 fields (FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4) and i made the search based on FLD2 and when user click on a line (could be any field), then this would bring the line on to the screens.
There are like 3 steps.
You have your value_tab for my fields FLD1, FLD2, FLD3 and FLD4. This is just the data that we pass into the FM. (data: IT_VALTAB type table of ZVAL_TABLE)
Next map the screen fields into an internal table (data: It_dynpfld type table of dselc ). I also have other internal tables defined (just to keep it straight, i will be putting here) data: It_return type standard table of ddshretval.
Next step is to call the function module. Make sure you have values in IT_VALTAB.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
exporting
        retfield        = 'FLD2'
        value_org       = 'S'
      tables
        value_tab       = It_VALTAB
        return_tab      = It_return
        dynpfld_mapping = It_dynpfld
      exceptions
        parameter_error = 1
        no_values_found = 2
        others          = 3.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
      with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    else.
      perform get_selected_fields tables It_return.
    endif.
The code within the perform GET_SELECTED_FIELDS - We need to map the result fields after user selects it. The code goes like this. This is step is to update the dynpro fields.
I need a internal table as well as a work area here. like,
data: lt_fields type table of dynpread,
        la_fields type dynpread.
field-symbols: <fs_return> type ddshretval.
so fill out LT_FIELDS from the IT_RETURN table
loop at lt_return assigning <fs_return>.
    la_fields-fieldname = <fs_return>-retfield.
    la_fields-fieldvalue = <fs_return>-fieldval.
    append la_fields to lt_fields.
    clear: la_fields.
endloop.
Call the FM to update the dynpro
call function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
    exporting
      dyname               = sy-repid
      dynumb               = '1002' "This is my screen number. You could use 1000 for selection screen (hope so)
    tables
      dynpfields           = lt_fields
    exceptions
      invalid_abapworkarea = 1
      invalid_dynprofield = 2
      invalid_dynproname   = 3
      invalid_dynpronummer = 4
      invalid_request      = 5
      no_fielddescription = 6
      undefind_error       = 7
      others               = 8.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
            with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
good luck

The personal hotspot is not an app or an icon; it is a setting. You must first have your carrier provision it, then you turn it on in settings. Most carriers charge extra for tethering.

Can't get sound on tv from notebook

I have a HP 2000 Notebook PC running Windows 8. Hooked up to Magnavox tv thru HDMI cable. No sound on tv, only on laptop. Is there a way to correct so I can get sound thru tv?

I pressed"SYNC" and lost all the songs I downloaded from many cd's, how can I get all of them back? please help. I'm so frustrated!

i pressed "SYNC" and lost all the songs from many cd's that I loaded to my library, how can I get them all back?

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

Stolen ipad 4. How can i get my serial number from Apple?HELP!!

My Apple iPad 4 was stolen i do not have the box anymore because when i bought it i was living as an aupair in the USA so on my return after that about 2 months ago my iPad got stolen i never wrote the serial number down did email it to my father though but he lost that email. PLEASE HELP! how can i find my serial number from Apple, they surely should have my serail number on my apple ID???

It seems it was never registered to your Apple ID.
Do you have an iTunes backup of the iPad?
Open iTunes.
Open Preferences. (In Mac OS X, choose iTunes > Preferences. In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
Click the Devices tab.
Position the mouse over a backup to display the serial number of the backed-up device. iPhone and cellular iPad models also display the IMEI/MEID and Cellular Data Number:

I can only get sound using Apple's Headphones. Help?

Okay, this is weird.
I had no sound, or so I thought. However, now my ipod does have sound, but only through apple's headset. If I plug in any working headphone set, I get nothing but silence, but if I use the apple headset, I get sound. This is also the same for my MAC if that give any clues. Last night, both of these items were working perfectly and had sound regardless of the kind of headphones.
Anyone have any ideas what I could do to fix this or what the problem might be? I want to use my good headphones again.

Can't get my table to sort. Please help

Can't seem to get my table to sort. That was a non-issue with the previous version of Numbers but now if I try to sort ascending by totals it just shuffles my numbers with no visible logic. Please help, this is such a simple task, shouldn't be so hard. I tried all suggestions on the forum and nothing works. This is a snapshot of the table:
And this is the result after sorting descending by Totals column:
Any and all help welcome!

Hi Dannie,
Sorting in Numbers 3 follows a different pattern from Numbers 2. Formulas do not automatically adjust.
When Numbers 3 was installled, it was placed in your Applications folder. Numbers 2 was moved to a subfolder called iWork '09 within your applications folder.
With your document open in Numbers 3, File > Export To > Numbers '09. Then use Numbers '09 (Numbers 2) to work on it.
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.
Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian.

i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

Hi,
i did search in this forum how to publish to a folder.. but i couldn't understand how to upload my web site w/out hussle.
I don't have an internet connection on my mac so i save the website to a folder, put it on a pen drive and copy it to my pc. When i tryed to upload the folder to any free domain i could upload only 2 3 file at the time(in some case just one). It's gonna take forever! However i took my time be and upload each file but after i upload everything still i couldn't see the web site.. What i'm missing here?
I even try .mac but i couldn't upload the folder.
Work with iweb supposed to be simple right??
I'll appreciate if you guys suggest any good free domain provider.

When i tryed to upload the
folder to any free domain i could upload only 2 3
file at the time(in some case just one).
Make sure you keep everything in the same folder structure as iWeb makes it when you publish to a folder.
If you are trying .Mac - use the Windows iDisk Utility to mount your iDisk. Copy the whole published folder to the "Sites" folder on your iDisk.
The address will be http://homepage.mac.com/yourusername/publishedfoldername
One has to ask, if you are a dot mac member, wouldn't it make sense to have an internet connection on your Mac so you can access your iDisk, publish directly from iWeb, etc?
