I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.) I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???
Downloaded your operating manual. It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection). The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common. In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
Update:
You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?). The manual is not clear on this (page 31). Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons. -
I have a late 2008 MacBook I cant get to send sound to my TV when I try to watch movies. I have bought the HDMI cable and audio connectors but still no sound. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Maryan,
Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same. -
I purchased a HDMI cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my Sony Bravia TV. I get picture through the TV but no sound. What am I doing wrong?
Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

after exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong? The self contained movie box is not checked.
Hi
Did You go via Compressor ?
Did You use QuickTime Conversion ?
I don't
I do
• In TimeLine set In and Out-Points to the full Movie/Project
• Select ALL - Clips and Audio
• Go up to Sequence and down to Render Only - down to Mix Down Audio
• then Sequense and Render Selected - Both (Video and Audio)
• then Export and as QuickTime .mov (NOTHING ELSE)
• I use to do - Not Self-Contained as it saves both time and space
Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - Needs lot's of free space to work OK - I never go under 25Gb free space on this one,

I was able to hook up my ATV with HDMI. The picture came out fine and I can navagate but I get no sound. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for all your responses to my questions really appreciate it.
I have the HDMI cable hooked up directly to the TV and I do not have an optical hook up directly on the tv. The receiver is in a separate room. Not close enough to connect to the receiver. Can I connect the apple TV though my DVD player which has a HDMI port and in the same room as the receiver? -
No sound. Mute is not checked, volume all the way up on iTunes and on status bar. What am I doing wrong or missing? I restarted last night and it worked before that but not since, any one have any ideas?
Thanks, RobFirst off did you go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > And is the correct output selected?
Any red light coming out of the headphone jack? If so, you'll need to re-set the little switch in there by inserting a 3.5mm jack carefully in & out 20 odd times. Or grab a toothpick (non-conductive) and a flashlight.
Tried anything else that produces a sound? On restart do you get the chime? Perhaps check into Audio Midi Setup to ensure your output is selected correctly using the cog at the bottom left. -
I have an IPhone 4S and I can't get FaceTime to work.
What am I doing wrong??????FaceTime uses Wi-Fi and recipient must also have FaceTime and on Wi-Fi.
Also FaceTime sever could be down. -
I can't facetime with anyone, it starts the call but ends it immediately on its own. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. -

I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen. What am I doing wrong?
Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

When I contact someone on FaceTime, they can see me but not hear me. I can see and hear them. No one has ever been able to hear me. What am I doing wrong?

I saw one post where a user said dust got inside the small microphone hole. Using a vacuum cleaner removed the dust and restored the audio.

My iPhone 5 won't ring . It only vibrates for calls, texts, etc. what am I doing wrong?
Hi, Mylenium,
Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm afraid it hasn't helped. I don't see anything wrong in my device manager.
I have also gone and updated every driver, especially the motherboard chipset and the Sata Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDML. The TV recognizes my computer; I see my basic computer screen on the TV. I tried to watch videos on my TV but got nothing. (tried via my facebook vidoes and Youtube. What am I doing wrong?
I've got a similar (but different!) problem: I have a MacBookPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to connect to my HD TV using a HDMI to DVI cable but the MBP cannot detect the TV display. What's the solution? Is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? Any ideas what I can do to make things work with the HDMI to DVI cable. (N.B.: I have separate audio cable running from the MBP to amplified speakers for the sound side of things. It’s the video that’s the problem!)
