Is there a way to force audio out through the Thunderbolt port?

I am trying to connect a 15" MacBook Pro to an InFocus 3916 using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
I know that the computer, adapters, and cables I am using support audio over HDMI.
I have tested 4 separate adapters, 2 cables, and 2 computers, all of them work when hooked up to a Samsung HD TV.
I know the Projector supports audio over HDMI, because I plugged a Apple TV into the projector using the same cable, and it worked fine.
When I am using the Samsung HD TV: System Preferences->Sound->Output shows "Samsung" in the choices of outputs.
When I try using any of the three Infocus Projectors, it only shows the internal audio.
I have tried resetting the PRAM, and SMC. I have tried plugging in an audio cable to my computer to force a refresh of the Sound Preference Pane... I have tried turning on and off the projector.
At this point I am trying to find a way to force Mac OS X to recognize the Projector as an audio output... Or at least to force the computer to think there is something there, so that it will push sound out the thunderbolt port.
MBP Hardware Configuration:
15" MacBook Pro, Late 2011
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
OS X Lion 10.7.2
Latest updates except Apple Remote Desktop 3.5.1

Is there a way to keep files out of the iCloud?

When you save them just make sure you save them to your Mac and not iCloud. For those that already exist, you can move them from iCloud by dragging and dropping them to somewhere else on your Mac. To see all the files in iCloud choose file > open in either pages or numbers.

Is there a way to force System.out.println to run when called

I working on my first threaded program and having a hard time debugging. I've used System.out.println to let me know what's going on but due (I assume) to the nature of threads the output is not sequential. Is there a way to force println to execute immediatly so that they show up in the order they were called?
Thanks --- Mike

Is there a way to force "tv out" on iPad

Sometimes when the HDMI out is connected to a tv, it shows tv out, and the output to tv is full screen. Other times, it just shows the iPad screen on the tv, which is in a window. When the HDMI is connected after the movie, it almost always is wrong, but lately is not full screen anyway.

I suppose I could "zoom," but then the resolution wouldn't be correct. Again, when the iPad screen shows "connected to TV," the tv reads the input as it should. This is a problem with the iPad not recognizing it is connected via the HDMI.

Is there a way to CAPTURE audio/video off the net then run it m.m. prsntn

I'm fairly new to the mac genre. In windows we had apps like Camtasia to
capture audio/video off the net. I was hoping something like that would
be avail for the mac and then once capture it how would I edit it and
include it in a presentation software; for example, keynote?
Is there added hardware req'd (?Capture board)? what would be a good software mac
compatible?

I'd like to capture audio and video for example sometimes just need to capture the
audio if some instruction is coming say over a quicktime or media player for my work.
Then sometimes I need to capture the audio and video when they ware actually showing me
charts and explaining them things like that.
is snap Z the way to go then for quality and fair pricing to get good results.
Do we have any resident applications already on the ilife variety that could be utilized for
something like this or is the only way to go through a 3rd party vendor?

Is there any way to cut audio while keeping the video it is tied to?

ok, I have a video from a dvd i burned on FCE but the sound is messed up. I am going to be making a AMV with it anyway so I don't really need the audio. Is there any way of cutting the audio without disturbing the video it was imported with. I must stress that they were not imported separately.

Place the footage in the timeline. Click the lock key on the vidoe time line. This will place a screen looking thing over the video. Select the audio in the time line and press delete. That will delete the audio but keep the video. Then unclick the lock key and all should be well. Always remeber the "undo" option if you mess up. I use it all the time.

HT4806 Mac mini digital audio out through the headphone jack

I'm misled by this sentence for audio out port from the support page: "For digital audio, you can use Apple iPhone headset with microphone".
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5539
It is there for all mac minis starting from 2010 model.
Does it mean electrical digital signal? Any chance to get S/PDIF coaxial signal?

If an optical signal is OK, you just need one of these:

To convert the optical signal to a co-ax one will need a more complex/expensive convertor.

Is there any way to use my iphone through the computer?

Today at work, my phone screen, which was already cracked, got messed up to the point where the screen is getting false touch signals. It is resonating from the top left of the screen and traveling down the fracture and making the phone impossible to use. I can barely open the lock screen, and there is no way to access any of the apps (including the actual call aspect). I want to know if there is a way for me to be able to use my phone through my computer, at least to be able to access my contact list and turn off an alarm I had set for tomorrow which I would prefer not to go off,since I would never be able to actually deactivate it...
My problem makes it impossible to even shut off the phone, and since I use it as my house phone as well, it would really be amazing of there was some way to work it through the computer. I also am wary about letting the battery run dry because I want to be able to see if people are trying to contact me.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

This is not a feature of the iPhone or iOS.
Replace the screen or device.

Is There Any Way To Access Videos Except Through The Dock?

The section of screen where the dock is located does not respond to touch on my ipod, sending it to get repaired is too cost prohibitive from my location. Is there some alternate method for accessing the music, videos, podcasts etc apart from through the dock? or maybe some tip to make the dock work again?

Here is an article about troubleshooting touch screen response. It's written for the iPhone, but is equally applicable to the iPod Touch.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1827
If it is still in warranty, you should be able to arrange service. Use the Online Service Assistant here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do Enter your iPod serial number and country to see your service options. Note: To enter Barbados as your country, go to the bottom of the country list and select "Show complete country list".

Is there any way to use bluetooth and force audio out at the same time?

I have an older treadmill that uses IFit which means a program on my phone controls my treadmill via an aux audio cable. I like using BT headphones so I don't have cords hanging. So...I'm trying to figure some way to either a) have iphone connected physically to treadmill but bt'ing music to my headphones at the same time or b) get iphone to communicate with two different bt devices simultaneously. (Treadmill can also be controlled via BT, but I still need the BT for headphones)
Any ideas would be great. I currently have cable running from treadmill to iphone and headphones via a splitter but it's a LOT of cord hanging which makes things difficult.

No. FaceTime is one on one only.

Is there a way to convert audio files with the new PlayForSure software sui

When I use the old Media Source Audio Converter and transfer the wma file to my Zen I get a message that the audio codec is not supported. I don't think my Media Source plug ins for PlayForSure devices are working or something.

The exact error message is: "The audio file format is not supported or exceeds the playback capability of this device." Then when you click on "More Information" it says: Codec 0X62 is not supported.
This is retarded man, maybe if Creative would release software THAT ACTUALLY WORKED with their frigging devices they would sell more MP3 players.

Huge apple fan, have thousands invested in stock and products. I'm deployed and I want to know a way to play my PS3 through the thunderbolt connector to HDMI? is there any software to support this?

I would like to start off by saying, that I'm a huge apple fan, even own 8 shares. I have everytihing apple, from multiple phones, two ipads, macbook air, macbook pro, time machine, and 2 apple tv's. So, I easliy have invested enough for a reponse. But, I'm really frustrated right now because I'm deployed and I would love nothing more than to be able to play my PS3 on my macbook pro. I know that this would be easily possible if mac devoted a week to a solution. Or maybe there is already software that would allow me to use my thunderbolt connection to HDMI to connect to my PS3. I have the hardware, all I need is a program that would reconize this. This would only help there sales, so I don't understand why you can't already do this. To be able to use your screen on your macbook pro as a TV for your game consoles would be a huge to boost sales. Please tell me if this is possible and what I need to do it? Or please tell me why this is not possible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
What you want is Target Display mode. This mode is only supported in Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and Mid 2011 or newer iMacs, but MacBooks Pro are not supported, so you cannot use your MacBook as a display for your PlayStation 4.
In the case of Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, there is an adapter called Kanex XD which allows you to use the iMac as a display for a Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, but Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are not supported. In other words, you need an external monitor for your PlayStation 4.

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then transfer purchases form your ipod.

No audio out through Mini Displayport?

Last night I hooked up my first-gen MBA to my plasma TV using a connector that converted the Mini Displayport to HDMI. The movie I streamed from Netflix looked great. One problem -- no audio. I guess there's no audio out through the Mini Displayport? I was forced to hook up computer speakers to my MBA. Is there a way I can get audio to go through the Mini Displayport rather than the audio-out/headphone jack?

There are a couple of adapters out that will convert DVI plus optical audio to HDMI (with audio). They are all made by the same company (though they are branded and priced differently). I think they are currently running around $100. The problem you might run into is HDCP. Apple doesn't do HDCP with their DVI... so you'll end up not having a compliant HDCP chain... if that is important to you.
If you do this setup, make sure you have your TV set to a setting that is pixel to pixel... that is, doesn't adjust for overscan. Lest you loose some of your computer desktop.

My iPhone 5 is suddenly having audio issues through the headphone jack.

So this is a strange situation, and I'll try to explain in depth so that someone might be able to suggest a solution. As reference, I have an iPhone 5 that I purchased in late-February. I've had every other model of iPhone except for the first iPhone, so I am pretty familiar with the device. I used to be on AT&T, and switched to Verizon when I upgraded to the iPhone 5.
Two days ago, I was on a six hour road-trip, and I'd been playing my music like normal through my car's auxillary cable. After stopping for lunch, I went to plug my music again, but once the music started to play, I realized that only the drums were playing at normal levels while the vocals were very, very soft. I switched through a few different songs, and realized that all the songs were being played at different levels; sometimes the backup vocals were normal levels while the instrumentation and lead vocals were quiet, or vice versa. I decided to plug my iPhone in to charge, and when I did this, the audio levels were all normal. However, the iPhone was NOT charging. I removed the charger, and the audio went back to being weak and distorted. I went back and forth at this for a bit, trying to figure out what was going on.
Since then and after some testing, I realize that my iPhone will now only charge anywhere EXCEPT in the car charger (I simply use my USB cable that came with my iPhone and plug it into the power adapter I have in the car). This morning, I tested the audio in my home speaker system, and I had the same audio issues. Only half the song's tracks would be at normal audio levels, while the other half would be at a very quiet, almost nonexistent level. I tried plugging my charger into the phone to see if that'd make a difference, but instead of the audio going back to normal like it does in the car, the music stopped and there was just crackling and very noisy distortion sounds.
I'm super confused and not sure what to do. This has never happened to me with any of my iPhones. I am updating my software right now, and am hoping that that may help somehow. Otherwise, I'm at a loss. Any suggestions as to what I should do would be greatly appreciated!

Do the new iMacs have digital audio out through the headphone jack?
Yes.
