HT3235 Have a HDMI adapter cable will show video, just no sound

Have a HDMI adapter cable to use with my TV.  Figured out how to get video on TV, just cant get sound?

Hello D005,
Depending on your model of MacBook Pro, it may not output sound through the Mini DisplayPort of your Mac.  If that is the case, you will need to connect the headphone port of your Mac to your audio-in port on your TV. 
I recommend reviewing the following article to determine if your Mini DisplayPort outputs audio:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Have a thuderbolt to hdmi adapter connected not showing video on external device

    tryin to connet to external display to mix video file and not able to see output on external device, tested device an working with other devices

    I brought an aftermarket Mini DisplayPort to HDMI converter on eBay for £7.99. Both video and audio works fine.

    I connect my MBAir to my TV using HDMI and the TV is connected to my sound system via optical cable.
    You just have to select TV as the output source under Sounds in System preferences.
    A cheaper option if you don't want to buy the Apple converter.

  • Mac is not connecting to TV after using Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable?

    Macbook Pro is not connecting to TV after using Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable. 2010 Macbook Pro, just purchased Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable from Amazon. Link here: http://www.amazon.com/Mini_Dis-HDMI-CB6-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B003OC 6LWM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406238976&sr=8-2&keywords=mac+to+tv --When i connect both ends of the cable to the TV and to the laptop, the screen will blink, but then afterwards it will not mirror on the TV. I have tried going to display setting but cannot find the arrangements tab. When i searched "arrangements" a message said, "The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer." Not sure how to fix this problem. I have connected this laptop to a TV before, but with a different cable other than the one i just purchased. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Found the fix.  Still don't know if it was Windows, iTunes, or Norton 360, but this worked immediately for me:

    I found a solution posted from Rodfromnework for PC users. It worked for me and easy to do.
    Start --> Programs --> Accessories (Right Click on Command Prompt) --> Run as Administrator
    then type in:
    Netsh winsock reset
    Hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes, go to Store
    Hope it works for you too. 

  • Cannot Connect Imac 24" via mini dvi to HDMi adapter cable to Sony Bravia 3

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm having the worst time in trying to connect the following:
    1. Imac 24" 3.06 dual with dvi connection
    2. Mini dvi to HDMI adapter (this mac with this connection was produced only for a short while!).
    3. 10' (foor) HDMI wire
    3. Sony Bravia 32" model KDL32L-5000 with 3 HDML connections
    i.When I wire everything up, I keep getting"no signal" on my Sony Bravia TV.
    ii. It doesn't matter whether I connect the HDMI wire to HDMI 1,2, or 3 on my Sony
    iii. On my Imac Hard Drive>>Applications>>System Preferences>>Displays
    all I get is a list of different resolutions. There is no mention or mirrors etc.
    Nothing happens when I press "Gather Windows" or Detect Displays"
    Can someone out there please help!!!!!
    Can you also give any solution in very simple and small detailed steps!
    Thanks,

    Majortrout, there is a major disconnect going on here.
    1. You are showing an Ebay link with a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    2. You report that you have an Early '09 24" iMac.
    3. That iMac does not have a mini-DVI port. That iMac has a mini-DispayPort.
    4. You need a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
    It is physically impossible to attach the adapter to which you link at Ebay to your iMac. So you need to take a step back and figure out what you really have; which iMac, which adapter, etc.

  • I have a 2011 mini with usb connector when I attempt to connect my nano I get the message that I do not have the correct adapter cable. I got the correct adapter cable from the Mini dealer. Any suggestions?

    I cannot get my Mini Cooper to sync up with my nano thru the USB port. When I hook up with the cable that came with the Nano, it acknowledges that it is an Ipod however it displays the message that I do not have the correct cable.  When I use the audtio adapter cable from BMW it doesn't see the Nano at all. Has anyone else had the issue and what did you do to over come it  I tried my nano in another persons car (a Ford) and it worked with no issue.

    This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable.  Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

  • How to connect sound or audio to my tv using hdmi adapter. I tried to connect thru sound settings but my tv is not found.

    how to connect sound to my tv set using hdmi adapter. Im using 2009 macbook pro 13". I went to sound settings then output and it shows internal speaker built- in, it wont locate my tv set. pls. help, thanks

    You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
    Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:

  • Why can't I see streamed video from PC to IPad 1 on TV when using HDMI adapter but can watch videos stored on the iPad

    I can watch videos streamed from my PC to my IPad 1 on the iPad screen.
    I can watch videos on my TV which are stored on the Ipad using an HDMI adapter.
    I cannot watch videos streamed  from my PC to my Ipad on my TV using the HDMI adapter, I get sound but no picture although the picture shows on the Ipad screen.
    Can anyone tell me why this should be and whether there is a solution?

    How does one "flatten the annotations? Do you need Acrobat to do it? Can you do it on the pdf or do you have to change it to a word doc?

  • Composite AV Cable will play video and audio, but not music

    I just bought an Apple Composite AV Cable to use with my iPod touch 3rd gen. It will play videos and the accompanying audio through the TV with no problems, but it will not play just music. What's the deal?

    No. However, you can get a cable from the headphone jack to an audio input for your TV.
    The Apple universal dock also has audio out.

  • I backed up a video to icloud and then deleted it from my iPhone but have recently backed up again - will my video still be in icloud?

    I backed up my iPhone to the Cloud a few weeks ago and then deleted a video from my iPhone.  I have since backed up my iPhone again....will my video still be in the iCloud? Does the iCloud when restoring, overwrite existing data on my phone?

    If the latest backup does not include the video, then it won't be restored if you restore from that backup.  Technically, there should be around 3 backups maintained in icloud, but many users find that they have one one choice to make (the latest backup) when they perform a restore from icloud. 
    Like photos, video should always be synced to a computer for archiving.  If you've done that, then you should be able to find it on your computer.

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable not working on MacBook Pro

    only showed my background on my tv, didn't recognize actions though. I could see my desktop background but it didn't show what I was seeing on my laptop screen. Help? Do I need an adapter?

    It's working perfectly. What you have is an extended desktop.  If you move the mouse cursor off the edge of the MBP's screen you will see it appear on the TV.  Similarly you can drag windows from the MBP's screen to the TV.  At present the MBP's screen is the primary display and shows the menu bar and dock, and the TV is the secondary display.  To change this go into System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement.  You will see an image of two screens, a smaller one representing the MBP's display and a larger one representing the external display.  At the top of the smaller screen in the image is a bar, this represents the menu bar at the top of the screen.  Drag it from the smaller screen to the larger screen.  The external display will become the primary display and the menu bar and dock will appear there and any new windows or applications that you open subsequently will appear there too.

  • My Macbook Pro wont play sound through Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter on toshiba television anymore. The sound plays through sony or samsung television, but not toshiba television.

    I have a Macbook Pro early 2011 running on mountain lion version 10.8.2. A while back, i purchased a mini display port thru HDMI port so i could watch dvds on my toshiba television. it all worked great for a while, then the sound just stopped working. At first, I thought the mini display port connector must have broke, until I plugged it into a sony television and it worked. I also tried using it through a samsung television and it worked just fine. Why does it not work through the toshiba television anymore? The picture works fine, but the sound does not come thru the television anymore. My mac is set to play sound thru the HDMI port and it doesnt. When i switch it to built in internal speakers, the sound comes thru my mac, but when i switch it, no sound comes out. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thank you!

    I am still waiting to receive a response from them, but i dont think they'll be much help. the television still works fine and all of the ports on the back, including both HDMI ports, work perfectly.
