HT201177 switching to multiple displays via i-mac and apple tv works great in video but the audio doesn't switch over.
When I switch to multiple displays the video transfers perfectly through my Apple TV but the audio doesn't come through unless I turn the volume all the way up to it's maximum level, and at that, it's hardly discernible.
Hi Pommedaddy!
Try using the following article to help you troubleshoot this Apple TV audio issue:

Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share? I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all. Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
I have already tried the following without success:
1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other: "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

Adding a mini mac and Apple TV .
I currently only have a iPhone. But would like to make the plunge to full apple.
I would like a mini mac and Apple TV.
I need advise on the best way to integrate them into my system.
I currently have:
A pioneer amp.
A ps3 and a Blu-Ray player, these plug into the pioneer amp via hdmi.
The amp is connected to my tv via hdmi.
The tv is a 48" Panasonic 3d plasma.
There are 2 spare hdmi ports in the amp.
Can both products be connected by hdmi?
Is that the best way?
Can I plug one to the other and save a hdmi port on the amp?
If so, what cables will I need?
Thanks for your advice in advance.
I'm hoping to get myself the gear for XmasNot all computers can use the "Mirroring" feature found in Mountain Lion.
You can still mirror using iTunes and use "Airplay". -
Hi,
Apple shop exchanged my iphone 3gs today. got home but it doesnt pick up the wifi. first the correct supplier appears then it says not connected.
both my mac and ipad is working on wifi (so did the previous phone) i ve tried rebooting, tried reset supplier...nothing works. can someone help please?
thanksYes, they should be able to verify that WiFi is working properly. If I just got a new phone & it didn't work perfectly, right out of the box, before I started restoring or whatever, I'd be right back where I got the phone.

I just switched from a PC to a Mac, and now when I connect my ipod, the computer doesnt recognize it. Any suggestions?
You probably need to move your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER from your PC to your MAC...
You can do this via an External Drive...

External LaCie HD to display both its Mac and PC partitons. HOW?
My external HD (LaCie 250 Gb) is partitioned this way:
180 Gb - Mac formatted
70Gb - PC formatted
The partition has been done a few years back with Mac OSX 10.2 using its standard disk utility - that’s all I know about tech details of this setup.
The only problem is that when I plug this LaCie 250 Gb into my MacBookPro , only Mac partition is visible.
PC formatted partition does not appear at all.
(My Mac displays any other external PC formatted drives without any problems)
How to make this external LaCie HD to display both its Mac and PC partitions on my Mac?
Thank you all who help me!The PC partition is FAT32.
The program you suggested is commercial but I just can't afford to spend on software that may or may not be suitable...
Any other options to see this PC partition on my Mac, fellow Mac users? -
I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???
Email addresses into what?
Each user should have their own account and password to log in. Each is independent of the other. So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail.
That's the way it should be set up. Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account? If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts. But everything else in the system is shared. -
I have have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDMI. I have great video but no audio from TV. Only what is coming out of my computer,
Never mind, I lreferenced some other posts with the solution. Thanks anyway!Only MacBook Pro's from mid-2010 onwards support audio through the mini-DisplayPort. You will need to hook up a cable from the headphone socket to the TV.

My home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2.
my home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2, even during watching a movie. I go to the mac to re-turn on home sharing but it is still on. Any tips? I also have to turn off and back on at the mac every time i switch on my apple tv.
Sharing Stopped working again over night.
I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working

Firewall Section
5. Check Firewall Settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day. This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
Tommorrow will be the true test. -
Hp hdx 16t laptop, hooked it philips 52 tv via hdmi cable and get video but no audio
Hp HDX 16t laptop Windows vista home prem, 64 bit, 4 gig ram, (512) 9600m gt nvidia geforce video card.
Hi I have a hp hdx 16t laptop, hooked it up to philips 52 inch LED tv via an hdmi cable and get video on tv but no audio. Only sound from laptop, My tv is set to computer hdmi 1 and all drivers up tp date. I have goolged numerous solutions and none have worked. If anybody has the time, a solution would be just great.. jd.If you have the the video drivers installed for your notebook's chipset and the discrete video module then you should see something similar to the folowing image. This is on my loaner HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea. When I connect the notebook to my Philips HDTV the operating system switches to HDMI audio after I direct the video to the TV with the function keys on the notebook.

I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?
Hi Eustace.
Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.

When I attached my USB flashdrive to my new Mac Air no icon appears and the same when I attached my new superdrive. I just finished downloading pictures off of my old Mac and that one worked as expected. The new computer doesn't show anything but when I pull the USB flashdrive out, a message prompts me with an improper eject notice. Any ideas on why no icon (a disc) appears and how can I get it to?
Open Finder preferences, click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for what you want displayed on the Desktop. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar and do the same for what you want displayed in the sidebar.
