How do I connect Apple TV (3rd) to device without HDMI input?

I am trying to connect my Apple TV to an inFocus 70+ projector.  The project has a "computer input" jack which resembles a DVI connector but is really a M1-D connection. It also has an s-video input and a composite video input.
  I purchased a HDMI to M1-D cable.  The picture is perfect; however, I cannot get any sound no matter was source I use (iPad, Apple TV, computer).
What alternatives do I have to output audio from the Apple TV to external speakers?
I like the Apple TV, but if I cannot get this to work, it really does not meet my needs.

Presumably this input has never been able to accept audio only video ?
If it is like DVI that would explain it as DVI is video only.
Not really the AppleTV at fault IMO.
You can take optical out from AppleTV and feed that to a home cinema amp or speakers with an optical input.  Alternatively for stereo get a cheap DAC and run the stereo feed to an amp/speakers.

  • How to connect apple tv to a TV without HDMI

    I have an older HDTV that does not have HDMI. How do I connect the Apple TV. I know you can use a HDMI-DVI cable but what about sound? Any recommendations?

    The big challenge, in addition to sound, is going to be HDCP. In order to minimize copyright infringement (copying) HDCP handshake via the HDMI connection is required. This is needed for Netflix, rented HD material etc. iTunes streaming will still work though.
    Some have mentioned finding HDMI to component conversion boxes on eBay that work, but I have no experience in this area.

  • How can I connect my iPhone to my Mac without deleting all the apps on it?

    Last night I bought a bunch of apps using iTunes on my Mac. Then I connected my iPhone and put the apps from the computer onto the iPhone. So far so good.
    Today I opened up iTunes on another Mac and before connecting the phone first selected Store > Check for available downloads. A dialog came up saying "all purchases have been downloaded for this account."
    Under preferences I checked "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    I then connected my iPhone to this second Mac and did the update to iOS 4.1.
    (By the way the reason I used the second Mac to do this update was that it failed repeatedly on the first Mac with an error saying something like can't create a session. I went through Apple's related troubleshooting document extremely carefully and methodically, but that didn't help. I then followed the recommendation in that document to try with a second Mac.)
    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Also in iTunes itself on the second computer all my new apps are missing. I looked under the "Library" section in iTunes and a bunch of apps that I've been trying over and over for months to simply delete are present and none of the ones I bought last night are present.
    Questions:
    1. How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    2. How can I connect my phone to my computer without completely ******* up my phone? Does Apple provide a way to do that?
    3. Is there ANY way that I can effectively control what is and is not on my phone (apps, videos, etc.) or is that just supposed to be sort of random?
    By the way it appears that Apple doesn't allow "potty words" on its forum because we all are, after all, six year olds. So just to be clear, what I MEANT and what I WROTE was "eff u cee kay i en gee up my phone."

    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.

    If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

    How do I manage Apple ID on multiple devices.  I changed on my iMac but can't change on my iPhone or iPad.

    in addition, if you want to change the iCloud (which you probably do), do
    settings->iCloud->Delete Account
    Then log in with yours.  Be sure to note the settings first, because it will forget them.

  • Can you use Apple TV 3rd generation with a hdmi-component video converter

    Does Apple TV 3G support any hdmi to component video adapters for use with older plasma tv's without hdmi inputs?

    HDMI is the only supported method. There will be no guarantee with any converter. If it does work you will be unable to play protected content (ie iTunes, Netflix)

    can I swap apple id for a device without losing apps already on it from current apple id?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I'm not entirely sure if this is what you are asking, however you cannot use another account without losing the ability to update the apps that you have bought under another account.

  • How to put my apple tv 3rd generation into DFU mode

    I tried the way that I google on the internet which only plug the micro USB into the apple tv and connect it to the PC, but I don't see the light flashing at all. and my apple TV is on software 5.0(4099) version. And then I plug the power cord as well and open iTunes, the iTunes can recognize the apple TV and everything seems working fine inside the iTunes. So I believe the USB cable is working fine.
    Have anyone put your apple TV 3 into DFU mode before?

    Hi!
    I´m sorry i dont have a solution to your problems because i have the very same problem.
    My Apple Tv (3rd gen) freezes in menu and i cant restore it in iTunes (Error 1611).
    So i´ve heard that you should put your device in DFU mode, and apparently its really easy for 2nd gen, but for some reason, no-one knows how to do it in 3rd gen, not even Apple support!!
    Why does it have to be so hard? i mean it should be as easy as for the 2nd gen. I hope someone answers to this thread.

  • How to connect Apple TV to multiple devices

    I have a Pioneer HDTV connected to a Sony VAIO computer through HDMI which in turn is connected to a Sony 5.1 digital receiver through a TOSLINK cable. I have recently bought Apple TV and now need to connect it so that the TV, computer and receiver all all to each other. The problem I have is that the TV has only HDMI out and the receiver has only one digital optical out. What is the best way to connect the Apple TV to these devices?

    Your Tv is unlikely to have HDMI out.
    It may have HDMI in, question is how many inputs.
    The only official way to connect AppleTV 2 to your TV is via HDMI.
    You can send optical audio to the Sony reciever simultaneously.

  • How do I connect Apple TV and surround sound to my projector?

    My current set up is that I have a projector connected to my Blu-Ray player. My surround sound speakers connect to my Blu-Ray player. They all came in the box together and the speaker wires all go into the Blu-Ray. Everything works perfectly.
    However now I have bought an Apple TV and although I can play it through the projector, the sound is only through the projector and not the surround sound. I tried plugging the Apple TV in the HDMI in the projector and then connecting the Apple TV to the Blu-Ray via optical cable, but that didn't work.
    In the back of the projector there is 1 HDMI port and an audio port but no optical port
    In the back of the Blu-Ray, you have the speakers, the HDMI, the audio in and the optical port.
    How can I connect everything so that I can use my Apple TV with surround sound?

    The manual doesn't say anything an optical port on the BD ?

  • How can I connect Apple TV to iMac with ethernet

    AppleCare told me to plug the Apple TV into the iMac using ethernet to transfer the iTunes content faster with less glitches.  But how do I see the Apple TV screen on my iMac to configure it???  When I connect Apple TV using ethernet, nothing appears on the iMac screen.

    This only applies if you have a first generation Apple TV. Also I hope you have a router and are not connecting the ATV directly to the iMac.
    Usually I sync my First Generation Apple TV wirelessly, but sometimes I'll have some huge media files I want to sync on it which can take a long time. In those cases all you do is connect your Apple TV via ethernet cable to the same router your iMac is connected to. Don't worry about it not being connected to a tv because all you are going to do is SYNC your Apple TV. If you do not see your Apple TV in iTunes, turn off the Apple TV, and quit iTunes. Then turn on the Apple TV first, wait a minute and then start iTunes. Once iTunes sees the Apple TV, manage your content, then sync it.
    Once the Apple TV has completed its sync, quit iTunes. Unplug your Apple TV, and then put the device back by the TV you want to enjoy the content on.
    I have done such a thing a few times and it works flawlessly.
