I have a macbook pro, a mini display port to hdmi cable to hook up to my tv (a toshiba 1080p flatscreen). what do I do to actually get the image on the tv screen? Do I need another cable for sound?

I am trying to watch a tv show that I purchased into I-tunes. I have the cable and it hooks to the TV okay. The TV shows the regular apple screen that looks like the universe screen - like when it boots up or is doing an upgrade on the OS. I can't get the image to go from the laptop to the TV. I tried under displays and it shows the TV as a display but I can't get the image on the TV.......Please help.

I need to know which MacBook Pro you have. Only mid-2010 and later MBP's transmit sound through MiniDisplay Port to HDMI. I have no information about the Mac Pro, so you might want to go to that Forum and ask there.

What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material.

I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material. Apple does not make one this long. Is there a cable out there that is sturdy like this and is safe to use?

yes, but I'm trying to use my iPad to type notes (using pages) and I have the smart case which I use as a stand. I need a cable long enough to fit through the back of my desk and the charging brick for the iPad won't fit behind the desk. I have to put it on the floor and then the apple cables aren't long enough to reach.

No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?

I have just connected my AppleTV 2 with my Pioneer ELITE 910 HD Plasma TV system. I have a hard wire ether net connected. I have a great picture coming out of the HDMI connection from AppleTV plugged into my ELITE 910 HDMI Media Receiver. But I am not hearing audio. I have gone through the 'settings' menu on the AppleTV screen and have every setting correct (I believe) It might appear that I may have to purchase an Optical Digital Audio Cable that would input into my Pioneer ELITE VSX-54TX receiver (that does have an Optical Digital Input that has not been used.)
Am I on the right track? I was hoping the video AND audio would travel through the HDMI connection. I don't want to spend money on the cable if I don't need it.

Re: No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?
Yes, audio and video should go via HDMI.
Do other peripherals work ok with the pioneer over HDMI.
My LG BlueRay player works fine. My TIVO works fine -- good audio and video
AppleTV is a bit odd with audio at times.
Does the pioneer media box handle doilby digital and linear PCM?
I don't know what "linear PCM" is. All the specs on this 2004 system are here:
http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasmatv/pioneer-pro910hd.html
If you have Dolby Digital set to Auto I'd expect you to get some audio - if set to On and media box can't decode DD then you may get no sound.
Try cycling those settings as well as the one for audoo bit depth.
Have done all this. Still no audio

HT2623 I currently have an email address with my cable company. In order to use the "@icloud" email addresses, do I also need my cable company email address?

I currently have an email address with my cable company. In order to use the "@icloud" email addresses, do I also need my cable company email address?

That's right, all you need is the actual internet connection. If you want to use the cable company email in addition it has no effect either way on iCloud, it's up to you.
When you sign in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud (Lion 10.7.5. minimum required, or iOS5/6) and check 'Mail' in the list, you will be asked to create an @icloud.com address, and the account will automatically be added to the Mail application and set up. You can also access your mail at http://icloud.com

Do I need basic cable to use the MLB package purchased through itunes to use on my Apple TV?

I would like to purchase the MLB package through itunes to use on my Apple TV. Do I need to have basic cable in order to watch it on the tv like some of the other apps require?

Yes sorry, I can see that from your question title. Are you in the US? Ifv so movie redownloads should be available, but I believev some studios aren't onboard.
In iTunes, go to the Store home page - on the right in Quick Links is there a Purchased/Purchases section? If so check if you can download the movies from there.
If you can't see them go to expresslane.apple.com and raise a support ticket for iTunes store, asking them to enable download via iTunes.

Do I need a cable connecting my Time Capsule to Airport Express if I want to use the AE to extend my wifi network range?

I'm a bit confused by conflicting advice given by my local Apple shop and my internet provider.
My cable modem is plugged into a Time Capsule which I use to access the net wirelessly almost all over the house. The one spot the wireless doesn't quite reach is (of course) where I now need my office and iMac to be.
I thought I could just plug in an Airport Express somewhere in the middle to extend the network's range but the guy at my local Apple shop said the Airport Express would need to be connected not just to power but to the Time Capsule, via a cable. That's fiddly and would involve cables running under the floor or along walls and ceilings, not something I can or really want to do. It's not really practical to try and move the cable connection point either.
My internet provider suggested a netgear wireless extender and said that would only need to be plugged into power. The reviews of the netgear product I found comparing it to Airport Express suggest that the Express doesn't need to be connected to anything other than power either to extend a network range (which was what I originally thought).
So I'm wondering which advice is correct? I've also read that the netgear product isn't all that easy to set up so I'd rather stick with. Apple if it will do what I want.
Thanks for any help out there

I'm sure that the guy at the Apple shop means well, but he is not correct.
While it would be preferable to connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Express using a wired Ethernet connection, the Express can connect wirelessly and extend the wireless signal the same way....IF...it is located where it can receive a good wireless signal.

Does ATI 1900XTX Need Booster Cable?

I just got a Mac Pro. I wanted to get the best video card for gaming, so I ordered the Mac Pro with just the standard nVidia FX 4500 card, and bought an ATI Radeon X1900 XTX (slightly quicker than the XT) from Buy.com.
Now I'm ready to install the thing. We tried just swapping cards and rebooting, but the monitor stayed blank. The fan was running on the card.
We then restored the original nVidia card, and everything is fine. I'm reading the Mac Pro DYI instructions for swapping video cards, and it mentions a power booster cable. It shows one hooked up to an ATI Radeon card, I assume the optional X1900 XT.
* Do I need the power booster cable for my 1900 XTX?
* Where do I get one of these booster cables?
Many thanks for your help!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Yes, the ATI card will need an extra power cable attached.
No, you can't use the ATI Radeon X1900XTX with the Mac Pro. That card is designed for a PC system. It does not have the necessary EFI chip that the Mac Pro requires.
There are only 3 cards that the Mac Pro will support at this time. They are the standard nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, ATI Radeon X1900XT and the nVidia Quadro FX 4500. Any card that you purchase that is not one of these (only available through Apple) will not work. Hopefully you can return it.
Hope this helps,

Ipod Hifi + Airport Express - Do I need a cable as well ??

Folks
I've just ordered an Ipod Hifi ( I hope they don't bring out a black one now! ) and an Airport Express from Amazon - much cheaper than Apple store.
I'd like to use Airtunes from my laptop via Airport Express and also have the Hifi connected up to an LCD TV to improve the sound.
Which connection cable do I need to order for here in the UK ?

Hi,
You need only one of the following cable for connection between Airport Express and iPod HiFi
1. For optical cable for Mini-Adapter

2. For Analogue

Time Capsule - need DSL cable?

Apart from the power cable to my Time Capsule, do I HAVE to use a DSL cable / internet cable to set up my Time Capsule? I have WiFi in the house, could I use that? After set up is the only cable required to back up data between my MacBook Pro and TC

I have a WiFI router which has 4 ethernet slots, so I can use the router via the ethernet cable for the internet source; does TC always need to be connected to the internet
The TC needs to be permanently connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the router.
and then the TC to my Macbook Pro is made from the TC to the Mac by WiFi?
The first, or "master" backup will copy over all of the data on your Mac to the TC, so that process will go 3-5 times faster than wireless, on average, if you use an Ethernet connection from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC for this first backup.
Once the first backup has been completed, then you can disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the TC and use wireless for subsequent backups, since you will only be backing up the changes that have occurred on your Mac since the last backup. This should only take a few minutes or so each hour.

I need the cable for my air to the tv?

where i can buy

To clarify all:-
You identify the port on your Macbook Air first.
Then identify the inputs on your TV/Display:-
- SCART
- HDMI
- PC/Monitor (15 pin D connector)
- S-Video/etc
Apple Stores (and others) sell cables that can be used to interface the two but you need to be aware of some things. If you use the monitor cable, unless you have the extra audio jack alongside the D connector then you need a separate audio cable to go from your headphone socket to the TV to output the sound on the TV.
For my PC laptop, I have two cables (video and audio) to connect to the PC port on my LCD TV but my macbook air uses the Apple one that interfaces to one of the HDMI ports.
You wil have to experiment to identify which AV port you are using and want to use of the TV once the two are connected up.
