How do you you get sound to TV when showing a movie from Netflicks using HDMI

When I'm looking at a movie downloaded from Netflicks using the new HDMI cable from my MacBook Pro, the picture shows fine, but the sound stays with the computer. How do you get the sound from MacBook to HDTV?

Thanks for the response. Here's the answers to your questions. I have a new MacBook Pro with Retnia display (13") late 2012 model, so it's solid state, love the unit, maybe my 10th Mac/Apple. It comes with a HDMI outlet, so I bought a 6' HDMI 19 pin cable. The TV is a new Vizio 39" that has a side mount HDMI imput plug. I tried it through this and through the main HDMI by removing the Comcast box. Both work the same, excellent HD projection, no sound. I even tried using a jack from the headphone outlet to the red and white sound imputs on the TV and that won't add sound. So that doesn't seem to be the solution. I ended up using an iPod portable sound system, but the whole thing is a lot of wires and junk to watch a movie. I thought maybe there is something I need to turn on first. I was just sure the sound should be carried on the HDMI cable and not need seperate output leads.

Hello gail from Ajijic,
If you'd like to change the audio output of your Mac, you can do so by accessing the Sound preferences in your System Preferences.
Before you start, open the Output pane of Sound preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output).
Choose a sound output device
From the list of sound output devices, select the one you want to use. All sound output devices available to your Mac are listed, including the computer’s internal speakers, devices plugged into your computer’s sound port (), USB speakers, and AirPlay devices.
For any device plugged into the computer’s sound port, choose Headphones.

I use IMAP to get Gmail. I seem to remember seeing a "[Gmail]/Spam" IMAP folder in previous versions of the app, but that's not visible any more.
Without this, I have to log on to the web-based Gmail to mark messages as spam, that's a productivity killer.

Do you get an "HDCP error"?
Since the last ATV software update, I have had problems playing You Tube content from the iPad to the ATV using airplay, yet the same content from the You Tube channel on the ATV plays fine. I get the dreaded "HDCP error" which is nonsense, as YouTube content does not have this protection. Netflix also gives the same error. (I have posted seperately about this problem.)
I have had a couple of years of fault-free playing with my setup, the only thing that has changed is the Apple ATV software. Ergo, they need to fix whatever bug they introduced. None of the recommended "fixes" have worked.

HT1918 Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card?

Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card? If I cannot purchase goods with the prepuchased gift cards, then the card is useless and I want my money back.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Just because you are being asked to enter your credit card details doesn't mean that it will be charged for your purchases.
Is it a newly created account ? If it is then unless you use the instructions on this page when creating an account then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. How can I get this to work when my internet is connected?

Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts? If so:
1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane. This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

Hello there, kojak100.
The following Knowledge Base article goes over how to sync content to your iPad:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
This section may prove useful:
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and click the device button in the upper right corner. (If you are viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.) Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcasts tab will not appear.
You can configure the different content types in each tab. For example, movies under the Movies tab.
To sync, click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

HT204291 Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.

You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display. I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities. It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction.
