Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have a MacBook, so your Mac hasn't got a HDMI port and you are using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
There are some Macs which do not support sound over HDMI, and it seems that your MacBook does not support it. Read > About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters

    You're saying that when you click on the  iCloud preference pane button it sends you to the defunct MMe
    rather than giving you this?
    Is your profile up to date, i.e. are your running 10.7.5?  Make sure you click on the iCloud button and not the MMe button.

  • I currently have no sound from my internal speakers. When I go to system preferences, internal speakers is not an option - there is nothing there. What should I do to fix this?

    I don't know what to do - I don't have any sound coming from my internal speakers, and with headphones there is still no sound coming out. When I go into system preferences under sound, there is nothing there - it says 'no output devices'. What should I do?

    MacBook Pro model?
    Hard to suggest a solution without knowing the model.
    The following tips may not apply to latest MacBook Pro 13 inch model.
    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • When i go to System Preferences and click on Desktop and Screensaver the computer goes to that screen but gets stuck and does not respond no matter how many times i try. Any suggestions?

    When i go to System Preferences and choose Desktop & Screensaver the system locks up and will not show any options. All i get is the circle of color and have to do a force quit. Any suggestions?

    First follow the instructions in this support article.
    If an iPhoto or Aperture library is the source of your desktop pictures, it may need to be rebuilt, or you may need to update the application to the latest version.
    Otherwise, continue as below.
    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following items to the Desktop, if they exist:
    Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the items you moved to the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items.

    How do I switch from wi fi to 3G ?

    If both are turned on the phone should automatically use Wi-Fi if it is available and cellular when no Wi-Fi is available. If you want to use 3G when Wi-Fi is available, you could go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn it Wi-Fi off.

    How do I switch from the American to the British store?

    You are here in the UK with a UK billing address on your account ? If you are, and the stores think think that you are in the US, then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone and tap on your account id, then tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select the UK.

  • How do I switch from iphone 4 to a new iphone 5.

    How do I switch from iphone 4 to a new iphone 5. I've backed up my iCloud stuff on iCloud, and the rest on the PC. When I try to download the latest software before changing over I'm told my phone has not enough space with 8 still free. Any help appreciate. Thanks. Benbulben1

    Syncing with a new iTunes should not affect your personal data.  The problem is that iTunes can only allow apps, music, movies, and tv shows on the iPhone that are already on the computer and in your iTunes library.  If your non-personal media content is on the computer then you can usually sync without worry even though the error will still appear.
    If in doubt, right-click on the name of your iPhone in the left menu in Itunes and select transfer purchases to back up your iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases before the sync.  Just be aware that this does not work for media from any other sources, so they will be removed from the iPhone if they are not already on the computer.

  • How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.

  • HT201320 How can I switch from one email user to another?

    How can I switch from one email account to another?

    You have to select between the two accounts in the mail app.
    Say for instance that you are reading an email in your XYZ email account. Tap the button in the upper left corner of the mail app to back out all the way to where you can see all of the email accounts.... Tap InBox, then tap XYZ email Account and that will take you back to the main MailBoxes window.
    Is that what you want to know? There is no way to simply "toggle" between the two accounts.

  • Why do I have to switch from Windows Phone to Andr...

    Why do I have to switch from Windows Phone to Android?
    [September 30, 2014]
    This year all my friends with Windows Phone (WP) had switched to Android. Why? The Apps. I continued with WP until now because the OS is very cool (particularly the 8.1 desktop) and because I love Nokia Phones. And the new 830 and 930 models look great.
    But I will buy a new Fuji X30 Camera, I need the Wifi remote app for some shoots,  I have no choice
    Now, I will give a list of reasons my friends left WP because lack or applications, maybe somebody at Microsoft is listening and can revert this tendency.
    1. Bank Applications (Bancolombia APP)
    2. Giro D’Italia app from La gazzetta dello sport.
    3. Stereopinic Concert app.
    4. General Motors - Chevrolet navigation/location app.
    Another annoying thing with Nokia phones in emerging markets is they don’t distribute all the accessories (headphones, wireless chargers, cases), so you have to buy them from another country make them expensive. I even met three months ago the commercial leader for Nokia here in Colombia, a group of people mentioned this, but nothing has changed since then. The updates came very late and right now I’m not able to use Cortana
    I hope Microsoft starts investing hard on apps and identify that little temporal applications for just one week or month (sport events/concerts) and start to create mechanisms to get things done. They just can’t waste the 6’000.000 consumers in US and the 10% share market in some countries in Europe and in emerging markets.

    I don't endorse any mobile phone brand nor receive any free stuff from them. Neither did I advertise anything. It was rather a recommendation if the starter of this thread would like ot purchase an Android phone. Censorship won't help to sell any more Lumia phones.
    I cannot blame anybody who's about to purchase an Android phone. Being a Windows Mobile & Phone user since 2006 I've seen those strategic mistakes Microsoft has made when the 1st and the 2nd generation of Windows Phones were released (the price of developer account etc. etc.). It's very hard to mend those things afterwards but I sincerely hope it won't be impossible.
    I'm blessed that I live in FInland because Nokia has always been considered as a Finnish mobile brand and therefore there are all those (well, almost all) necessary apps available for Windows Phone. IMO the best Nokia app has been Here Transit. I really don't need Here Drive+ because they don't bother to include speed cams and line assistance to their app. Just take a look at Navigation Europe and there you have the best possible navigation app for Windows Phone. Waze is also great and it's free. Hmm, I guess that sentence will be censored because I recommended something
    I've been quite pleased with the latest Windows Phones. They haven't crashed like my Dell Venue Pro did (first Windows Phone ever) or like my Android phone, tablet and TV box. But in order to increase the market share  of Windows Phones there are two ways:
    1) good (amount of) apps, great hardware and/or
    2) double booting phone where it's possible to choose whether to boot to Android or to Windows Phone. I'd love to have that kinda phone with the goods described in 1)
