RCA + VGA cables used but still no audio

I want to connect my laptop to my tv so I can watch television with my friends. The visuals are great but the audio doesn't work at all.
I tried a male to male stereo cable as well as an rca cable for audio and neither have worked. TV and laptop audio have been at max but I hear nothing.
I'm rather computer illiterate, so this is quite frustrating to me. I don't want to break anything.
I did this:
but I'm not sure if that's right.
I have a HP dv5 and an HD tv, I'm not sure what brand since it was a gift.

"If this is the case, the original video file may be in a format that contains muxed (multiplexed) audio and video, and cannot be exported with audio."..."If the format is "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed," the audio portion of the file may not be retained with QuickTime Pro or iMovie."
I have read that article and I thought it ment that the sound will work after you convert to the MPEG4 format, which I did.
Are you saying that if it starts out as "Muxed audio" then there is no way to convert it?
If that is the case then in what situation would you need to use the Videora Converter?
Thanks,
Sean

    You still double-click the home button to open the multitasking bar, but instead of pressing and holding them like you did on previous iOS versions, you now swipe/drag the app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen.

  • I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

    Exactly where are you getting your Flash from? It is quite free from the maker, no password needed.

    However, if you fell for a trap and were lured into a fake site to rob you of your Apple ID credentials, I suggest you change your passwords immediately.

  • .mov file has lost picture but still has audio

    Why should a .mov file lose its picture half-way through?
    I was trying to burn my film onto DVD and on the preview in toast i noticed the audio was good all the way through but the picture stopped suddenly. If I play the film through the quick time viewer it has the same effect, the audio is fine but the screen goes black (and stays that way) in the same place.
    I went into the iMovieHD project file and the film played fine through that. After trying to 'save as' the project into different places the .mov file still showed the same problems.
    I have been using iMovie4 for a while now without problems but since installing iMovieHD keep getting weird problems like this. Also my camcorder plays up now also. It keeps getting stuck on DV in mode (this is probably unconnected but started happening same day as installing iLife5)
    I was thinking of doing a re-install but after reading through the related topics i get the impression that this may not be the best solution.

  • IDVD - One video in the project goes green, but still plays audio

    As far as I can tell, no one has posed my particular problem, but I have complete confidence that I'll get some solid help. I've had 5 or 6 big problems with iDVD and found all the answers in these discussions. So thanks!
    My boyfriend is a theater director and I have been putting together his DVD reel using iDVD 7.0.4. I am using the "center stage" theme with no motion or music in the menus. The DVD has slide shows of production shots and video clips.
    -> I put the video into the computer by first using a VHS to DVD recorder and then using the program "HandBrake" to rip the DVD into .m4v, then edited them with QuickTime Pro "trim to selection" and saved the clips as .mov self contained movies.(I should add right here that I cannot use iMovie. My computer isn't big enough to run it properly with any kind of speed, and I don't know how to use it and don't currently have the time to learn it)
    -> The VHS to DVD recorder inserted chapters every 5 minutes, and all of the clips included 2 or 3 chapter markers. I think the longest video is 8 minutes or so.
    -> When I "add a movie" in iDVD and it asks me if I want to add chapter markers for the movies, I tell it no.
    ->When I preview the DVD in iDVD every video plays with out error.
    -> I saved the project as a disk image and the videos were encoded under the "pro quality" setting
    -> When I preview with the apple DVD player, every video and slide show plays through without incident except one. One video plays 3 seconds, then the audio skips a beat and the video goes all green. I have no idea why because the 3 other videos from this show came from the same DVD and were processed exactly the same.
    Please Please Help! Thank You!
    This is the first DVD that I've ever made, and I could have never done it at all without these discussion pages. I hope some programmer at Apple is reading all these problems and fixing them for the next iDVD...or at least writing down solutions to include in the help menu.

    Hi
    I stumbled on the same problem as you. For me everything got messed up after trying to preview my project in fullscreen. Just got a blank black screen and now I can't ad titles or preview the clips! The most annoying thing is that I'm almost finished with the video I spent 4 hours on!
    Anyone here now what the cause of this problem can be? Seems like many here have stumbled on it a few times
    Edit: Just noticed my whole project seems to be done for! I can't even change the themes and when trying to change the settings of the clips it says "no clips selected" even when I can see they are in my project!? This is really frustrating.

  • Black screen within imovie after unexpected close but still have audio

    video imported fine into events, i edited movie adding photos music and text overlays and then imovie closed unexpectedly. when i reopened and played the movie, the preview window played back with a black screen but i can still hear the audio (both in event library and project library). however the photos are still visible when played back, only the original video clip plays back black screen.
    i went to the imovie events folder in the finder and the video clip plays fine within quicktime. does anyone know what i can do to fix?

    I figured out what to do. i removed to .mov file out of the events folder onto the desktop, opened imovie and clicked on the event in the event library which showed this message, "No matching video". i then closed imovie and moved the .mov file back into the events folder, reopened imovie and viola, video now plays back properly.

  • SCCM 2012 Offline Servicing used, but still installed during Task Sequence

    I have a SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 environment and I updated my Windows 7 Enterprise x64 image install.wim with all security patches using Offline Servicing..a nice feature...works perfectly.
    But when using this new updated image in my Task Sequence I noticed that still 150+ patches are installed during the Install Updates phase in my task sequence. More then 130 of them are already added using Offline Servicing so why are they added again
    What is going wrong here....what am i missing....

    I am having a similar issue, however I have updated my dp and it still occurs. I am doing an offline service of Windows 8.1. The update status shows a bunch of updates that have been installed, yet when deploying my TS it sill installs about 70 or 80 updates.
    I have compared and the updates that are being installed are listed in the updates status window. I have checked the OfflineServicingMgr.log and the only error is:
    Deleting file \\?\C:\ConfigMgr_OfflineImageServicing\UCO00121\ImageMountDir\Admin Desktop Wallpaper.JPG, FAILED, Win32 Error = 1168
    Failed to remove the staging folder C:\ConfigMgr_OfflineImageServicing, GLE = 1168
    It seems everything else completes fine so i cannot determine if this is causing my issues? Has anyone else had this problem before? I haven't tried with Windows 7 as we are no longer using it.

  • Apple card was purchased and used but still showing 25 credits?

    Purchased a Apple card for my son on Sunday for him to use it on his game, "clash of clans." He used the card and recieved what he purchased but it is still showing a 25 credit on the account. Did they mess up and didn't use it or what. Do you think he can use those credits again?

    This is completely normal.  NO need to be so over dramatice and go accusing anyone of ripping you off.  Calm down and understand, before you mouth off.
    Itunes verifies your account using the credit card info.
    This does not mean that they will charge your credit card.

  • "miniDVI-DVI adaptor" + "DVI to VGA cable" can't detect LCD TV

    Hi,
    I just bought a "miniDVI-to-DVI" adapter, and then a DVI-to-VGA male-to-male cable to connect my MacBook to Viewsonic 19" monitor but my MacBook didn't detect the 19" monitor. (This 19" monitor has only VGA but no DVI input!)I tried it on my friend's 32" LCD TV but it couldn't work too.
    Then I tried to connect my MacBook by using "miniDVI-DVI" adaptor + "DVI-DVI male to male" cable to DVI socket of my frind's 32" LCD TV. It worked! So I think it's not the problem of the "miniDVI-DVI" adaptor.
    I worried that it's the problem of the "DVI-to-VGA" cable so I went to the shop to exchange another new "DVI-to-VGA" cable. But my MacBook still couldn't detect all these 2 monitors via VGA socket.
    Can anybody help me? Please advise! Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    The shopman told me that "miniDVI-VGA" adaptor was out of stock, only "miniDVI-DVI" adaptor was available yesterday. At that time I thought I had to buy a connecting cable also (no matter it's VGA-VGA or DVI-VGA cable).
    Since my friend has a DVI-DVI cable, if I buy this "miniDVI-to-DVI" adapter I may share my MacBook with his 32" TV too. So I bought these adaptor & cable.

  • C COMPAQ VGA CABLE CONNECTOR

    HI my mane is Lulama Mncube in South Africa (Pietermaritzburg). I accidentaly crushed the screen of my CQ58 COMPACQ note book some time ago and I managed to get it fixed. After not so long it came loose I took it back to the person who fixed it for me. he opened it now the screen does not come on anymore we tried new screen still but if you connect it to external screen it works. so now he is suspecting VGA CABLE CONNECTOR, but he can;t find one. please help where can I find one. 

    Hi @lulama ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a good  place to find answers and information!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I grasp that you accidentally crushed the display and had it repaired, Not long after the screen became loose and you took it back to the repair person and when he opens the notebook the display is blank. If you connect an external monitor it works.  He thinks it may be the connecting cable but does not know where to locate it.
    If you check the maintenance and service guide ( under the user guide) there is usually instructions and diagrams to assist.   Here is a link to HP Troubleshooting Input your model number and follow the on screen prompts.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    When you have the main page open click on User guides and you should see an option for the maintenance and service guide for your notebook if one is available.
    Here is a link to Monitor is Blank that may also be of aid.
    I hope this helps.

  • I am trying to project a film from an ipad mini with a vga cable to a projector.  The film played, but the ipad did not mirror what was being projected.  I am trying to be able to mirror the devices AND isolate the window so I can use different menus wit

    Hello-
    I am trying to project a film from an ipad mini with a vga cable to a projector.  When tested, the film played, but the ipad did not mirror what was being projected, it was a black screen.  I am trying to be able to mirror the devices AND figure out how isolate the window so I can use different menus with the film still playing.
    Any one know an app or softward that i can use?
    Thank you!

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • I am trying to play a DVD on my MacBook Pro and transmit it to my TV (use my TV as the monitor) utilizing a VGA cable and adapter for the Mac but the only image that shows up on the TV is the MacBook wall paper, any ideas on how I can transmit to my TV?

    you are probably seeing the extended display.. to see ur main display go to pefrences then display steeings and turn mirroring on.

    I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset/earphones?

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

    Make sure all of the videos used in the project that is having that problem are from the same event. If they are from multiple events, move them all into one event.
