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 would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception. If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
Many Thanks
Nick

HT4279 I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

The article you cited refers to The Mac Pro, a 50lb silver tower -- not a notebook computer.
Everymac.com says:
2nd Display Support:
Dual/Mirroring*
2nd Max. Resolution:
2560x1600 (x2*)
Details:
*This model supports a simultaneous maximum resolution up to 2560x1600 on two external displays via Thunderbolt. Alternately, it can support a single display up to 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt and a single display up to 1920x1200 via HDMI. Although it can theoretically power all three external displays, as confirmed by a helpful reader, it runs too hot with three displays connected.
Also see: How many external displays can the Retina Display MacBook Pro models support? What is the maximum supported resolution of each? Are adapters required?
When using other than ThunderBolt displays, the ThunderBolt port is directly compatible with Mini DisplayPort, and can be forced into compatibility (with Single-Link DVI or HDMI up to 1920 wide) with a simple adapter.
To adapt to wider displays, an ACTIVE Dual-Link adapter is needed, about US$100.

I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them?

I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them with the same accounts?

Any IMAP e-mail account can be accessed from all devices just fine. You don't need to upgrade from Snow Leopard to be able to access an IMAP e-mail account. However, Snow Leopard won't have built-in support for iCloud. As mende1 points out, you can still read your iCloud e-mail from Snow Leopard, but you have to set it up manually. You won't be able to do things like sync your iCloud calendar or addresses with iCal or Address Book on the iMac, though.

I would like to connect a monitor to my mac to use two screens, what cord will I need?

I would like to connect a 'non mac monitor' to my mac to use two screens, what cord will I need?

Have you found your question yet?
Well as you can tell this isn't very active especially when your asking a question in a cross platform trouble shooting forum.
You don't say what computer you have so no one can even guess, you should put the model/year of the computer your on and the Mac OS version your using into your profile so we can help you better. (Example, 2010 MacPro, OS10.6 and Windows 7.)
Try here and pick your computer to get more help. Click on the Communities link and then the Discussions link and you should find a post that has already asked your question or you can search and you should find a bunch also.
From what I understand your Mac needs to support dual monitors and you need to have 2 video ports available and just get an adapter if needed for the connection between the computer and the monitor.

How to connect a MBP to a BENQ external monitor using a HDMI cable and a HDMI to mini display adapter?

Hi, I have just bought a brand new HDMI cable and HDMI to minidisplay adapter and tried to connect my Macbook Pro up. The external display knows it is there but it is not getting any signal. I have tried on another TV and it also says no signal and I also tried using another Mac but it still didn't work.
Can anyone help?

In some versions of Mac OS X, with the Displays pane open, holding the Option key will show the detect displays button in the lower right.
I am using OS X Mavericks. Where did the Detect Displays button go?
You can find the Detect Displays button in the Displays section of System Preferences. Once there, press and hold the Option key to see the Detect Displays button in the lower-right corner. You can click this button to manually detect another display.
Another technique is to sleep and wake your computer, which will send the detect display sequence as well.

Hi, I am planning a trip to South Africa (I live in Canada) and would like to know if I'll be able to use my Ipad there and what do I need to do to be able to have wi-fi or 4g access? Anybody can help me?

Hi,
I am planning a trip to South Africa in Nov/Dec. I live in Winnipeg Canada and own an Ipad wi-fi cellular. I would like to know if it is easy once in South Africa to use my device the way it is (i.e. with its existing SIM card etc). Or do I need to acquire a different SIM card? Also in order not to pay a fortune for the service is it better to acquire if needed a SIM card only once there? Also if I need a different SIM card where does one go to get one in South Africa? I have never travelled anywhere other than across Canada with my ipad (I am a fairly recent owner of such a device) and could use some help as to the best way to be able to use my machine in South Africa safely efficiently and at a reasonable cost.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you

Also in order not to pay a fortune for the service is it better to acquire if needed a SIM card only once there?
Check with your carrier about roaming charges. They are usually prohibitive. Best to get a local SIM.

HT4437 how do i mirror without using apple TV .....like the old OS platform where I just plug in the HDMI cable and it recognizes the i pad and then projects it onto the TV.

I have an IMac intel OS x 10.8.2, I would like to know what is the best program to use to make movies and burn them to a DVD???

What is the best program to use that will be compatable with a IMac intel OS x 10.8.2, that will allow me to make movies, add music then burn it to a DVD. The program I have now, will make the movie but will not burn it???

You want iDVD.
Purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.

I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to my HDTV using a HDMI cable

At first it was working fine but all of the sudden it stop working properly a blue scream appears on the tv couple seconds later same happens to the mac and it stop unspectively..

When plugging in an external display to your mac you will notice that both displays flash the blue screen for a couple seconds. Same thing happens when you unplug the external display, your macbook will flash the same blue screen. Try turning screen mirroing on and adjusting the resolutions.

I can't get a picture on my toshiba tv when I connect it to my Mac Book Pro using an HMDI cable

In 2010, we bought a MacBook Pro 7.1. We also bought an HDMI cable that connects directly to the MBP’s mini display port and to the HDMI port in the TV. The TV is a Toshiba. We made the connections and selected the correct ports and got nothing on the TV, except a “no signal” message. The Display window on the MBP recognized the Toshiba TV. We tried the same hookup with a different TV (Phillips) and we got video (no sound) on the TV with the same mini display port to HDMI cable. We borrowed a mini display port to VGA adapter with a VGA cable. The adapter also had a separate audio cable that connected to the TV’s audio port. That worked. We got both video and audio on the Toshiba (but the video was not HD). We connected my Kindle Fire HD to the Toshiba using an HDMI cable, and that worked. We got both video and audio on the Toshiba. So, we proved: - the mini display port works - I can get video from it to the Toshiba with a VGA adapter - the mini display port to HDMI cable works – I got video through it from the MBP to the Phillips - the HDMI port on the Toshiba works – I got video / sound from the Kindle and its HDMI cable What do I do to get video from the MBP to the Toshiba using the HDMI cable I have?

Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->
Read the tv user manual. I have a Toshiba which has detailed instructions for tv to comp hookup. If necessary call Toshiba. Especially, if you are still under warranty w/them.

I would like to know which apple server dictation connects to so that my proxy server will stop blocking it. Which apple server does it connect too?

I would presume so, but it might be worth your while to experiment and play around with different combinations to see if you can block FaceTime while keeping Game Center open. Good luck!
