  • Cant hear audio using an hdmi cable from my MacBook Pro to an HDTV

    i'm trying to watch video and streaming video from my McBook Pro on an HDTV via an HDMI cable.  i can see the video but there is no sound.  help?

    What year was your Mac made, IE what Model year is it and what model is it?
    With newer Macs all you need is a good Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter, I know the Griffin model work as I have one, and a HDMI cable.
    If a Retina model that has a HDMI out port then you don't need any adapters of any kind. Just a cable from HDMI to HDMI ports on Mac and TV.
    Once you have a good adapter, if you need one, and the cable is connected to the TV go into System Preferences and the Sound Applet and there should be an option in the Output section for HDMI. Enable that and the sound will be sent over the HDMI cable to the TV.
    If you have an older Mac computer then you may need to use a separate cable from the Mac headphone out port to a Line In port on the TV

    How do I safely eject a HDMI cable from my macbook pro?
    Also, every time i do so i lose the ability to use my volume buttons on the keyboard and have to restart my machine to fix.
    I have a brand new Macbook Pro 15" Retina display.

    What version of the system are you running on your MacBook Pro? Is it new enough to have the Messages application? If so, add your iMessages account to your Messages Application.

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable and pass thru dolby digital. I do not have optical inputs on my receiver.

    I want to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable. This should allow me to pass thru high definition video and simultaneously decode Dolby Digital material with an HDMI connection from my receiver to my TV without the use of an optical cable (my receiver does not have an optical input). I am unable to decode 5.1 material and don't understand why this is not working. In the audio setting I have Dolby Digital output turned on.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you sure the content you are playing has Dolby Digital.

  • I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.

    I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.
    To do this I will need a 2x1 HDMI splitter or a 2x1 HDMI auto switch (preferred).
    ?Is there any Apple TV HDMI port voltage?
    When using a HDMI auto switch to connect two devices to a HDMI TV, the
    Auto switch cable box only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
    Do you know of any other solutions? Componets? Actual expierances?
    Full text below.
    Cable : HDMI switches expand the number of available HDMI ports on a high definition television allowing connection of cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and game consoles. A side benefit is that cable clutter is also eliminated by running a single HDMI cable to your HDTV from a switch and relocating the HDMI ports to a concealed location. The problem with most HDMI switches is that you have to either get up to push a button, or hunt for the remote control, to switch sources. The true mark of any great switching component is an ability to perform its function and remain transparent in its operation. This automatic HDMI switch is a plug-and-play away from offering everything you are looking for in an HDMI switch. Select a single output from up to three devices for signal delivery to your HDTV. Smart operation provides complete control for connect-and-forget operation. Powering on a device gives it output priority over the other devices. By powering down the device in use, output priority is returned to the last powered on device. Note: Auto switch function only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.

    Thanks for any help. Sincerely,

    Hi Erico,
    I tried what you said again but without success. I even updated the driver so that that audio driver is the same as the graphics driver i.e.. NVIDIA but this has not helped either:
    Do you have any other ideas?
    Many many thanks,

  • As there is no sound only picture when connecting my ipad, do I need to also use the audio cable from Apple TV to an older Philips TV?

    I have just bought a black Apple TV and it works fine when connecting my iPad to a modern TV.  However on an older Philips TV, there is no sound coming through.  Do I need to use an audio cable from the optical digital audio port in addition to the HDMI cable?  The TV's HDMI does not appear to support sound.

    Thanks.  However no luck with this TV so far.  I've purchased a converter to give a digital audio signal from the optical digital audio output port.  The TV has an input audio digital port, but I've had no success in getting sound so far.
    Is there any setting in the Apple TV menu that may affect the signal.  I've tried the setting for 16 bit signal, without any success.
    Perhaps this Philips TV may just not be compatible with the new black Apple TV.  I have talked at some length with Philips support desk, but they've offered nothing new.

  • Display using and HDMI Cable

    I'm having trouble connecting my MacBook Pro to my TV using an HDMI cable. I know I have the right cable and I know I am plugging it in correctly. However, I cannot find the right setting for my screen to display on the TV. I've tried changing the display resolution in system preferences, but I don't know which is the correct one to choose.

    Apple lays out the requirements for audio over HDMI below. Verify that your Mac model is new enough, otherwise it will be too old to send audio over HDMI. If it's too old, you have to use a separate audio cable.
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    You can certainly check the audio output settings in the Sound system preference and also in the Audio MIDI Setup utility, but it is just as important to make sure your TV is set to play back audio from the exact HDMI port that the Mac cable is plugged into.

  • Lenght of hdmi cable from computer to TV

    Have Hdmi on my HP and on my TV.  Need to run about 59 ft from the computer to the TV.  Have read that is too long for a good signal. 
    Want to show pictures. 
    Advice???
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    While a high-quality (read expensive) HDMI cable of sufficient length for your application should work, you may encounter video signal degradation that may render the image unrecognizable. Alternatively, you could use an HDMI over Cat5e/Cat6 Extender, such as THESE.

    When you say the remote is not working, does the light on AppleTV flicker when you use the remote but nothing happens?

  • I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

    I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

    How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking?  Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
    The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
    The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox.  When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
