HT3131 how do i get audio from my HDTV when using a hdmi cable and mini displayport??

How do I get audio to display from my HDTV when I'm using a hmdi cable and a mini-displayport adapter on a macbook late 2008??

The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • I am getting a lot of static when using Brookstone wireless headphones and watching movies on the Apple TV. I know it is not headphones, because they work fine when I switch it to cable TV, then the sound is clear with no static. Any suggestions?

    I am getting a lot of static when using Brookstone wireless headphones and watching movies on the Apple TV. I know it is not headphones, because they work fine when I switch it to cable TV, then the sound is clear with no static. Any suggestions? Which wireless headphones work best with the apple TV?

    Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
    Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
    I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

  • How do I get audio from MacBook Pro to Samsung monitor?

    MacBook Pro - I've just bought an S27b550V Samsung monitor to connect to the MacBook Pro but even with hdmi adaptor and usb connection can only get video. I set sound control to recognise the usb output but still nothing but a faint muted sound from the monitor. How do I get audio to work?

    I don't think that a USB connection is going to do anything - as you've a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort that, I don't believe, will carry audio over HDMI, you'd need to use the 3.5-mm analog/optical combo jack optical jack to get video to your Samsung monitor.

  • How do I recover data from a single App using an iTunes backup and put it back on my iPhone?

    An app I use (Text Me 2) automatically cleared conversation history. I have an iTunes back-up of it from last year. I tried searching a ton and found articles, but never found a step-by-step article from start to finish describing how I can get only that app's data back on my iPhone without having to restore the entire thing (otherwise I lose all of my last 6 months of content)? All the articles I read stopped after using the iPhone backup extractor to extract, and didn't tell me how to get that back onto my iPhone. I use iTunes on Mac OS Mavericks also.
    Thanks in advance!

    Then what's with all of the programs these two responses mention and being able to restore a single app data?
    If you know you are going to do this in advance and have a jailbroken phone, use AppBackup which you can get through cydia. Otherwise, if this need arises after having restored already, you can get the data from an iPhone backup using iPhone Backup Extractor and/or a Time Machine backup (you can google to find the location of the backups, but I think it's in Application Support > Mobile Sync > Backups), and then restore the documents/library folders of the application using iExplorer (which is by the same people who made iPhone Explorer but was changed for legal reasons and now is slightly more user friendly and suited for this purpose. I just did this to restore my Angry Birds scores/data among other things.
    and
    I do that with iTools. You can backup each app with its data into an ipa file to the computer, to restore it individually. This allows you to merge apps with its data from different backups.
    ...not to mention I found several answers like this in various forums...

  • How to connect a MBP to a BENQ external monitor using a HDMI cable and a HDMI to mini display adapter?

    Hi, I have just bought a brand new HDMI cable and HDMI to minidisplay adapter  and tried to connect my Macbook Pro up. The external display knows it is there but it is not getting any signal. I have tried on another TV and it also says no signal and I also tried using another Mac but it still didn't work.
    Can anyone help?

    In some versions of Mac OS X, with the Displays pane open, holding the Option key will show the detect displays button in the lower right.
    I am using OS X Mavericks. Where did the Detect Displays button go?
    You can find the Detect Displays button in the Displays section of System Preferences. Once there, press and hold the Option key to see the Detect Displays button in the lower-right corner. You can click this button to manually detect another display.
    Another technique is to sleep and wake your computer, which will send the detect display sequence as well.

  • How do I get audio from mp4 video to stop playing on other slides? URGENT

    I have imported an mp4 video into my Captivate file, and it plays well. But when I get to slides after that one, the audio from the video file repeats on several other slides. How do I get this ugly behavior to stop?
    I don't want to unsync the audio and video because it could get out of sync on playback.
    Please advise ASAP. I am supposed to be handing this in tomorrow and have spent countless hours doing workarounds on this project already...
    Thank you very much for any help you can give me.
    Ellen

    Hello Ellen,
    What is your Captivate version and what option did you choose to insert the video?
    If it is Captivate 6, Can you use the Multi Slide Synchonize video. If it is a Previous version, can you select the Video and from properties choose to synchronize with project?
    Does the audio play on other slides when you jump from an incomplete video to other slides or when you view the complete video and then move to rest of the slides.
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • How do I get audio from my macbook pro to my receiver with higher quality than the headphone jack?

    I recently got a receiver and surround sound speaker system.  The quality of the audio from the CD player connected to it is far beyond the quality of the audio that comes from the MacBook pro via headphone jack to RCA connection.  This was confirmed by burning a CD from the MacBook, placing it in the CD player then testing the two against each other  -  the same audio piece from the CD player or the MacBook, both connected to the same receiver/speaker set up.  What other options might get better audio quality from the MacBook to the receiver? 

    The Mac's audio output doubles as a optical Toslink stereo mini jack, just use a adapter to regular Toslink and plug the optical cable to your surround sound system. Fiddle with the sound settings to enable optical output.
    Mac's pass surround sound through, they don't do any processing.

  • How do I get audio from compressor to Studio Pro?

    I used the Compressor preset "DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes" "MPEG-2.6Mbps 2 pass" on my 8 minute video in order to create a movie to import into Studio Pro. I end up with a m2v file with no audio. If I try using the Dolby setting it makes a ac3 file but the file crashes Studio Pro whenever I import.
    "MPEG-2.6Mbps 2 pass" says "with AIFF audio" but all I get is video when it compresses.
    I tried to go into the inspector for audio selections but it won't let me change anything.
    I noticed in one tutorial when you move the "MPEG-2.6Mbps 2 pass" setting to the submit window that two lines appear for submission. One video and one audio. When I do that I only get the video. That's why I thought I might need the Dolby setting.
    Using 4.2 Studio Pro
    OS X 10.6.6 and installed ProKitUpdate7.0.

    For openers, using ProKit 7.0 may be what is causing the DVDSP crashes...  AC-3 audio certainly won't.
    Read this for more info:
    Restoring an older version of ProKit - Digital Rebellion Blog
    If you wish to use AIFF audio, you're going to need to put an AIFF audio setting on the clip along with the
    "MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-pass" setting which, as you've discovered, creates the m2v.  DVDSP expects to get two components, one audio and one video.
    There is an excellent help file included within Compressor (access with the Help button while in Compressor) which contains not only these answers but also your next ones. Check it out.

  • HT4241 How do I get an Epson EX5210 to display using the HDMI mini display port adapter so I can see 1080p downloaded movie from iTunes? It won't recognize the display via hdmi cable and adapter!

    Please help! I've tried everything to get this dang thing to display a downloaded movie from itunes on my epson EX5210 lcd projector via a HDMI cable plugged into a minidisplay port adapter. I am no expert and have no idea what to do!

    It's all in the manual... starting on page 26...
    USB seems to work as well. Tried that?
    By the way, this dang thing has "only" 768 physical pixels vertically, so "1080p" won't be visible anyway, and scaling will take place. Hope you won't be diappointed. All specs including resolutions here.

  • Unable to get sound from new ATV installation using either HDMI or optical audio to Bose receiver.  Good video using HDMI.

    Need help setting up my Apple TV.  I have good video, but no audio using either the HDMI cable by itself or by connecting a optical video cable through the aux receiver for home theater.  I've replaced the Apple TV box, swapped out HDMI cables, reset the Apple TV box, all to no avail.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Connected only using HDMI to Onkyo Receiver and HDMI out to Samsung 1080p TV. So far so good.

  • How can I get to the photo tray when using iphoto with HP C6280 all-in-one printer

    How do I get the photo tray option to come up in iphoto from my mac notebook when I have an HP C6280 all-in-one printer

    I have an HP all-in-one C5140.  When I print from iPhoto the dialog that comes up has a "Presets" drop down at the bottom.  One of the choices is "Print from Photo Tray."  Is that there on yours?  If not make sure you have the latest software from HP.
