Does apple tv breakout audio from thunderbolt

Looking to stream movies from my Macbook Air 11in to my Sony Plasma.  From what I can gather, Apple TV will accept the Macbook Air's HDMI signal over WIFI then pass it on to the TV, however the TV does not support digital audio from the HDMI jack only analog.  So, I would need to breakout the digital audio from the HDMI port on the Apple TV unit and convert it to analog and then send it to a Bose Lifestyle Home Theater setup. Will the Apple TV unit breakout the digital audio from the HDMI feed coming from my Macbook Air.  (I do have the mid to late MACbook Air that supports digital audio from the Thuderbolt port.)

you can a strange sony tv then because all other devices with hdmi support digital audio over hdmi
my sony tv sure works fine with hdmi audio

    Does Apple TV do mirroring from an iMac? If not, how can I play content from my iMac to my Apple TV?

    Thanks. That's what I thought but I bought an Apple TV anyway. Probably going to have to get a Mac Mini for everything I want though.

  • Play video from apple tv and audio from macbook , its possible, please ?

    play video from apple tv and audio from macbook , its possible, please ?
    because i dont have airport and i have a micro plugged to my speakers

    If you mean "can I play a video file's video part via AppleTV and the audio part via the Macbook" then the answer is no.
    You could probably play the video on AppleTv and also play it on the Macbook and output the audio, but you would have to do this manually, and 2 applications accessing the same video file might cause stuttering playback issues. Additionally you'd have to manually sync the audio and lip sync problems are annoying at the best of times.
    If you mean "can I watch a video from AppleTV and play separate music via iTunes on the Macbook", then the answer is yes.

  • Where does apple get their wallpapers from

    Where does apple get their wallpapers from and how can you contribute.

    Apple seems to use a wide source for their screen images...some were from NASA (such as Lion and Mountain Lion), some may have been photo pros.
    If you want, contact Apple by way of feedback, http://www.apple.com/feedback and at corporate: http://www.apple.com/contact

  • Why does my wife loose audio from me after 20 min.

    I have no problems connecting to my wife with her new iPad3 when I call her with my iPod4 but I just installed FaceTime on my MacBook Pro and once I connect with her she looses audio from me after 20 minutes into the call. If I call her back she does not get any audio. When I call her 2 days later with my MacBook again it works for about the first 20 minutes and she looses audio again. I love my wife and want to talk to her for more then 20 minutes every 2 days and do it on a larger screen then my iPod any help please?
    Seems this is the place for answers as the only responce from Apple is try the forum we don't support our work just sell it and leave the suport up to the users.
    Pretty lame eh? But I guess thats why your all here you found that out a while ago i bet.
    Thanks

    Batteries die, that is a fact of life if. Most batteries only last a year or two with heavy use. As you appear to use your battery a great deal, your battery will lose its life very quickly. Keep this in mind if you get a new battery (which I would recommend at this point) try not to use the battery bellow 15% charge as the battery loses the most life in the last 15% of the charge. Also, unless you really need to use the battery all the time, plug in. There is nothing wrong with using the battery for a few hours every day, but if you use it all the time, your cycle count will go up fast, and you'll go through batteries fast.

  • How does Apple TV sort photos from Aperture?

    I have arranged a set of photos in Aperture in a Project. 
    When I go to show these on the Apple TV, they appear randomly and not in the order that I have them in the Aperture Project.
    How does Apple TV sort the photos that it reads from my Aperture project?
    If I understand how it handles this, I can adjust the metadata to insure it shows as I want.
    I look forward to hearing back from folks about how this works.
    Thanks.

    I figured it out.  It is by the date and time code on the picture. 

  • Does Apple TV output audio via both HDMI and Toslink at the same time?

    I would like to know if Apple TV outputs audio via both the HDMI and Toslink ports AT THE SAME TIME... 
    Ideally, I want to use it in my main zone connected to my TV via HDMI and convert the Toslink signal to analog to be exported to Zone 2 on my receivers.  (My receiver - as do most - can only direct analog sources to Zones 2, 3, and 4)

    Hey Bob,
    I have this same issue.  I was wondering what model of toslink to analog adapter you went with and how well it works?
    Thanks!

  • When printing a photobook does Apple convert the images from RGB to CMYK?

    I'm a little confused by Apple's Photobooks. Most printers require all images to be in the CMYK colourspace, since the inks used are always CMYK. Yet Apple requires Photobook images to be jpegs in the RGB colourspace. Does this mean Apple's printers (presumably plural, since they are all over the world) do some sort of autoconversion RGB to CMYK? Surely this would result in a major downgrading of quality? I've seen a few non-Apple photobooks printed with unconverted RGB images, and they look dreadful  - overblown red and yellows, with awful colour casts. I've not seen an Apple Photobook myself, presumably the colours are realistic?
    Comments anyone?

    Quote from the Reference:
    Linear Light
    Burns or dodges the colors by decreasing or increasing the brightness, depending on the blend color. If the blend color (light source) is lighter than 50% gray, the image is lightened by increasing the brightness. If the blend color is darker than 50% gray, the image is darkened by decreasing the brightness.
    Now consider the values that a neutral medium grey would have in the RGB and the CMYK spaces you use.

  • Why does Apple not allow purchases from different "apple stores"?

    Why pigeon hole people and restrict them from Purchasing Apps from whichever country they want to? Is this just another example of Apple's need to Control people?

    Apple has their reasons and certainly does not disclose them here.  Speculating on their decisions is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.

  • Does Apple TV play slideshows from iPhoto '09?

    I created a slideshow in iPhoto with all the graphics, music, etc and exported it to iTunes. When it syncs up, Apple TV recognizes the slideshow, but plays it as just a regular album with no music at all. Is there no way to have it show up and sound the way it does on the mac?

    Not currently. The tools will be given to developers and it will be up to them in terms of which apps are supported.

  • Why does apple Remote app disconnect from itunes all the time

    I have downloaded the apple remote app on my iphone 5 and have successfully attached it to my itunes library via Homeshare.
    However, if i leave my phone and it goes into the suspended mode it will not be able to find the itunes library again.
    To do so, i have to turn off the HomeSharing facility on itunes, then turn it on again. Then the iphone Remote app will find the itunes library.
    Please please please can someone help me as it's doing my brain in?!?!?
    I am running the itunes program on a PC.
    thanks!!

  • Does Apple delete purchased items from our devices?

    A song which I purchased last December has been removed from my MacBook Pro without my instigation or permission. When I tried to download it again I now must buy the entire album, which I don't want.  I suspect this deletion was done by Apple. I'm glad I still have the song on my iPhone, iPad and iPod, where it had been synched. What is Apple's policy about removing items which have been purchased from a user's library? I am very hesitant to make any future buys.
    MacBook Pro always has the latest system (currently 10.9.4)
    iPhone IOS 7.1.2
    iPod IOS 1.1.3
    iPad IOS 7.1.2
    The song was purchased on 12/9/13.

    Where are you looking ? My account's purchase history (Store > View Account menu option) shows all of my purchases. If you mean in the Purchased link for redownloading then have you changed countries since buying the items ?

  • When does apple take the money from your checking-account when you buy songs on itunes?

    So i I bought songs on itunes, and I was wondering when does the money come out of your checking-account after purchasing songs? It took out money directly the first time when i purchased a song, but not it seems like it's taking longer then usual. Does anyone know how long it takes for apple to take the money you spent out of your checking-account?

    Unfortunately, you are not addressing apple here - these are user to user technical forums and the volunteers here are not shady.
    As for your issue: did Apple have to replace the screen or components behind it? If so, it is quite possible that the entire top was replaced as some of them are a complete unit. If that is not the case, you should address this with the Apple people you dealt with for the repair.
