I cannot get audio through my TV using HDMI lead it has worked previously but on the settings tab the option to use HDMI for output has disappeared

As above I have a MacBook Pro and pretty new Samsung TV... i bought a HDMI lead from apple shop connected it and was able to choose HDMI lead as sound output.... but i cannot do it any more nothing has changed cable has not even been unpluged but the option within settings has disappeared.... I have tried the basics turn everything off and on again close all apps disconnect and reconnect leads..... any help would be brilliant

The problem is not solved by something that simple unfortunately ! I have discovered that if I boot up the laptop with the hdmi cable connected to the tv it works, but if not, same issue. Have read everything everywhere I can to see if the issue happens for anyone else, seems mine is an odd one. May reinstall FF to see if that cures.

  • I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website. How can I backup my data?

    I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?

    No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

  • Cannot get sound through my surround sound tv - only pictures - sound works fine through tv speakers - why is this?

    Apple TV is working for pictures and sound via my television speakers but I cannot get sound via my surround sound speakers with HDMI or an Optical Lead.
    Anyone care to advise me what I may have done wrong in the connections?

    If you have connected your TV by HDMI via your receiver and you get sound from your TV but not your receiver then the problem must lie within your receiver or its settings. Check the manual to ensure you have selected the correct settings for it.

  • I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used a digital speaker

    I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used an external digital speaker.  Cannot seem to switch back to lap top speakers in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES...only showing DIGITAL out put option

    Hi there Lutostan,
    It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
    Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
    If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
    Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
    Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
    If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
    If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.

  • Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV?  If so, I'm afraid it's not possible.  However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then.  There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

  • I cannot get yahoomail through the email icon on my iPad. I can get it on my iPhone and if I go through safari and then yahoo on my iPad. Gmail works fine

    I cannot get yahoomail through the email icon on my iPad since this morning. Gmail works and yahoomail works on iphone and if I go through safari and yahoo, works ok on iPad. I changed password, deleted account and restarted account, turned iPad on and off and still no mail

    My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • I cannot get mail through icloud.

    After upgrading to OSX, I cannot get mail through the icloud. All relevant boxes are ticked; i can update calendars, messages with both my Mac and iPhone, but there is no mail coming through on my Mac, I can get mail on the phone. I have had to use outlook to get mail.
    Please advise

    Go to System Preferences>iCloud and confirm that you have signed into your iCloud account and have checked Mail.  If you have, try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail.  If that doesn't fix things, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac after a brief delay as it redownloads.

    In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
    Switch off Mac
    Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
    Switch off Mac again
    Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
    Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

  • My video has no sound but i want to add the audio using premier pro

    My video has no sound but i want to add the audio using premier pro.
    when I want to import the file,it said:your video file has no audio.
    But i want to add the sound to my video!!
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem??

    So you have a  video (.mov)  that some how you got from  Flash.
    It has no sound on it. 
    Does the .mov import into Premiere?
    If it does..you edit it in the timeline (sequence) and add audio to  the audio track(s) before exporting it.

  • I cannot get time machine (with airport) to back up my mac. It worked previously but not now. It is working on my macbook. the message i get is "Time Machine couldn't back up to '(airport network name)'"

    I cannot get time machine (with airport) to back up my mac. It worked previously but not now. It is working on my macbook. the message i get is "Time Machine couldn't back up to '(airport network name)'" Any help is appreciated.

    OS is important.. What OS is on Mac and what is on the working macbook?
    Was the Airport setup from the Macbook? That might be why it works from there..
    Does the AE show up in Mac airport utility?
    Can you mount the disk in finder and copy files to it/from it??
    Did you try a TM reset after mounting in Finder.. so you know it is available?
    What about a network reboot.. does it work post a restart for a few minutes/hours/days???
