HDMI Switch Help please!!
Hi everyone! So I am not tech savvy AT ALL and received Apple TV as a gift. I'm very anxious to set it up - but it's not going well. Any help would be appreciated
I have a LCD Panasonic VIera with 1 HDMI input that goes directly to my Time Warner DVD (also only 1 HDMI). I have no component cables so it's just that cord that provides me with my lovely time warner tv.
SO I bought a 3 input hdmi switch and went from the output directly to TV and then out my Time warner & Apple TV in the inputs. But it doesn't work.
My cable is on input 3 and the only thing it did do was assign Apple TV to that input (so that my cable was non-existent)
What am I doing wrong!! Thank you - and happy thanksgiving!!
Any ideas?
Put your cable into the HDMI switch input #1 and AppleTV on #2 or 3. Since the ATV is always on (almost) it will block your cable signal if you connect the cable to #1. With the ATV plug into #3 the signal will get through to your TV as long as your cable box is off. Once you turn the cable box on, it gets priority to the TV through the HDMI switch since it's in the #1 socket. With the cable box off, the AppleTV in #3 can get through to the TV.

Satellite P75-A7100 No HDMI Audio Help Please!
Had to make device dual boot due to work circumstances with 7 32bit on one side and 8.1 64 bit on the other side. Read the posts and lots of tinkering with but still no audio out on the HDMI on either sides. Primarily looking to accomplish on the 8.1 side. Went through thre reccomended driver install directly from the TOSHIBA page in the order reccomended:
1. Chipset
2. HD4600
3. Conexant Audio Driver
No luck with the video being fine and no audio. Not recognizing the audio connection in the drivers portion even under disconnected and disabled devices.
Also downloaded latest HD4600 driver from intel and tried to manually install AUDIO portion but getting the windows Error 10 and not allowing. From what I read that is the fix but no luck there.
Any suggestions or direction please?Satellite P75-A7100
Downloads here.
I don't really know anything about this. I stopped by because you didn't mention looking for the HDMI audio here.
Control Panel > Sound > Playback tab
If you don't see it there, right-click in that panel and make sure all devices are showing. I once needed to change the default device there in order to enable the HDMI sound.
Just a a thought. If that's not your trouble, I can't help.

Hi Timia,
If you are using Safari as a web browser :-
Open Safari, go to Safari menu > Preferences > General, and put Google as the homepage. Then, choose Google as your default search engine.
If you are using Google Chrome as the web browser :-
Open Google Chrome.
In the top right corner of the page, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu > Settings.
In the "Search" section, select Google from the drop-down menu.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.

I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.
Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire. -
I just switched from Outlook to Mail and now the sent messages are not being displayed. Help, please.
Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

iPod touch 2G. Not syncing, not restoring, not switching on. iTunes 10.4.1. Help Please!
- What happens when you try to sync and restore?
- If iTunes is not seing the iPod see if restting the iPod will either fix the problem or allow you to see it in iTunes so you can restore the iPod
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

HI!
I have a small network. I have 3 300-28 cisco switches. I already connected my 3 servers and clients with the switch 1 and now I want to add more clients and I need to add my other two switches in the network. Please guide me with the simple configuration So I can connect them all and avoid loop (stp). ThanksHi Nagaraja Thanthry!
Thanks for your reply. I am implementing it tomorrow. By just conecting the switches together at trunk ports will there be no loop? I don't want my network chowk. I hope it will work well. I might need further help, please reply.
1. I will do setting on all switches. Assign IP addresses to switches (to Vlan 1 default).
2. Set one port (e.g 28) as trunk and all others as Access on all three switches.
3. Then I will connect the switches with each other at trunk ports. Hope there will be no loop in this setting.
4. Do I need to set any setting for stp in switches ?
Please reply one by one thanks.
I am using 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 IP range.

Apple iPAD 2. Needs password to unlock iPAD; however there is a permanent keyboard displayed on the screen that does not respond to touch. iPAD switches on with button but does not turn off using it at moment. Can you help please?
Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. See if that clears the glitch.

i lost my i-phone 4s yesterday night around 7.15 p.m i am keep on trying to reach my number but still the mobile is switched off,please help me how to find it
The only way to locate any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

I woke up to my iPhone with a plug in picture to ITunes. I did a back up and restore according to the instructions on ITunes. I now lost all my apps, my voice control goes on automatically and my screens are switching by themselves even during texting....HELP Please! What is the next step before I throw this thing through the window?
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
