I tried attaching my Mac to my HDMI tv, there is picture but there's no sound, how can I fix this?

Anyone have an idea how to fix the sound coming from the MAc to my TV?

When you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. 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. But check your TV manual to see if it has audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI 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.

You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

I have a Photopshop Elements 10.0 on my Mac, I purchased it in English, did an upgrade of my Mac to OS Yosemite and suddenly the language of Photoshop is German. How can I fix this ?

I have found another solution. I upgraded to Yosemite and found the the App Store version of PSE 10 (which didn't change) was suddenly in German. Close PSE if it is open. Use the Finder and go to the PSE 10 application in the Applications folder. Right click (or ctl-click) on it and select "Show Package Contents". Then go to Contents>Locales and delete the de_DE folder. (I imagine you could also rename it to something starting with a letter after "e". I think PSE is probably using the first language it comes to in this Locale folder.) Start PSE. It worked for me. Hope this helped.

Hello there mmon11,
If by reset you mean this process from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting from here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then alright thats one step down. I would recommend this article as well, specifically sections 1, 3, and 5 which will resolve it if the issue is due to software.

http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
Here is section 1 to get you started.
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.

HT1386 I originally added music to my iphone under someone elses itunes account, now that I am trying to add under my own id, it is not showing on my phone...how can I fix this?

What do I need to do to get my music from my itunes library onto my phone? I originally added music from a diffnerent itues account, and now that I am trying to add from my own it will not transfer...however, in the bar on the bottom of itunes it shows that it is on my phone...but it does not display anywhere else and I cannot find it in my phone. Do I need to connect to the original itunes account and delete that music in order for my library to show?

As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem.

I don't think you can fix it. Those messages imply the programs on the CD are older ones for PowerPC Mac (discontinued in early 2006) and does not have the code a current Intel-based Mac requires.

I tried to run the firmware update and then my mac stopped working.. How can I fix this?

We have two brand new mini macs at our office that we are tyring to install updates on. One worked no problem, and we attempted to do the same thing on the second and there are issues. After I attempted to update the firmware my mini mac appears to still be running, light is on and it sounds like it is running, but nothing is starting up. How can I fix this?
Thank-you,

Try (but I do not expect anything)
Press Option during startup
Start up in Startup Manager, where you can select an OS X volume or network volume to start from.
Next try:
Press Command-R during startup
Start from the OS X Recovery System1
and if successful use the Disk Utility to repair the boot disk

I have the same apple id e mail for both ipad2 and mac. it might be getting confuse now. I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.
