Send sound only from iPad to Mac mini via Airplay

I just downloaded AirServer on my Mac mini thinking it would be great to send sound from my iPad to the Mac mini via Airplay.
While the sound works fine, I still find that it would nice if only the sound would be sent to the Mac and the display remains on the iPad.
My Mac mini is my music system (with no monitor), so I tought I could listen to videos from Youtube on my music system, but then the display needs to remain on the iPad.
Is there any way I can achieve this?
Thanks.
Paul

I found the setting in AirServer allowing me to stream Audio only. Now I just have to wait for the update to fix the audio delay issue I have.

Streaming all sound from ipad to mac mini

Hi
I use several apps and sites on my ipad to look for and discover new music
Id like to find a way to stream all the sound from the ipad to my macmini, which is connected to my sound system
Is it possible and what do i need to do
Thanks

you can do it wired by connecting a minijack cable from the headset connector of the ipad to the mic/line in on the mac mini
or you can look for some software which makes the mac act as a bluetooth speaker setup (A2DP) and connect the ipad to it

Streaming iCloud movie from iPad to Apple TV via AirPlay resulted no picture but sound.

I notice that movie (iTunes purchased) that store in my iPad 2 when AirPlay to Apple TV 3 everything fine but for iCloud movie streaming (iTunes purchased that store in iCloud), I only manage to get sound from Apple TV 3, no picture. Apple TV only displayed running time. This happen after Apple TV new updates few days ago. Before update, everything is fine.
I used iPad 2 to stream iCloud movies to Apple TV because the streaming is much faster than using Apple TV 3 own streaming which some times the buffer took quite some times to load.
And why on my iPad 2 which still running iOS 5.1.1 the AirPlay icon missing the Mirroring on/off icon. In AirPlay I can only choose iPad or Apple TV but without the Mirroring on/off icon.
If I AirPlay iTunes purchases movies (iCloud Streaming) to Apple TV, my Pioneer AV amp decode Dolby Digital 5.1 but if I connect using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI into Pioneer AV amp, I only manage to get PCM Stereo track.
If the iTunes purchases movies have been downloaded and store on my iPad 2, then either AirPlay or using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI, my Pioneer AV decode Dolby Digital 5.1
I planning to purchase Mac Mini for storage iTunes purchases movies and listening music plus some PC users. Should I ditch Apple TV or should I use both ?

That app has not been enabled for airplay, it is up to the developer to do so

Syncing contacts from ipad to mac mini

I want to move or sync my contact book to my mac to it will sync to my Ipods and ipads can I do this without using the cloud?

iCloud would be the easiest and most efficient way, not sure how else to do it. Maybe a 3rd party app can be found in the App Store to do this.

if you have sound icon on your menu bar: press alt on your keyboard and click mouse on sound icon - check is the correct audio output is selected.
If you do not have this icon: System preferences > Sound > Output and check audio output

Can send I messages from ipad but reply only goes to Iphone

Can send I messages from my I Pad but reply only comes to my Iphone

Your question is a bit confusing, but your iPad can only send messages to other iOS devices, such as other iPad users, iPhone users and iPod touch users who have iMessage enabled on their devices. You can not send text messages from iPad to non-Apple devices, like Android phones........

Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line. Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it. It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.

Anyone know how to get external iSight camera sound to function on 2011 Mac mini with Lion?

I recently helped my Mom upgrade from an older Mac mini to a 2011 model, and the external iSight camera shows video but has no sound. She can see and hear me through both iChat and FaceTime, but I can only see her.
I have checked the source for the mic in FaceTime and iChat preferences as well as the System Preferences, and I can see the monitor responding to input, but it is not sending the sound.

(1) You're welcome! We will be eager to see how it works for you.
(2) If iChat can't access your external iSight, there is something wrong.
• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, continue with the following.
• Use Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the 10.7.2 Combo Update:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
(3) If your mini does not have a Firewire 400 port, also check
     your connections. Options I know for ways to connect
     a FW400 external iSight to a FW800 Mac port:
• This Firewire 400-800 cable can work: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TU942LL/A (I use this one.)
• Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
• To use your FW400 6pin-6pin cable, you can use
    a 6pin-9pin adapter like one of these: http://tinyurl.com/ydsbb6m
   (I successfully use this one, too.)

Using a HDMI Only Monitor with 2011 Mac Mini i5 2.3

Hi, Just Wondering if anyone has experience with this...
I have searched High and low and cannot work out if the issues with this are fixed or still happening to people.
I am looking a connecting the 2011 Mac Mini with HDMI port directly to HDMI port of a third party monitor but the ones Iam interested in (and are in my price range!) seem to have only HDMI and sometimes VGA also. If I connect the cable directly from the mac to the monitor are there issues with resolutions, wake from sleep, colours being bad/off etc? Is it recommended to only use DVI from the 2011 Mac Mini?
Just need to check this before buying a new monitor and I cant seem to find the answers anywhere so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Steve

Yes, you can connect an HDMI monitor directly up to a 2011 using an HDMI cable.
Look at > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/mac_mini_mid2011_ug.pdf in Chapter 1 on Page 15 of the User Guide.

Can you connect iPad to Mac mini, Can you connect iPad to Mac mini

Can you connect iPad to Mac mini, Can you connect iPad to Mac mini?

Every Mac Mini has a USB port. Every Mac Mini can run iTunes. The only catch is that you need to be running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) or later. So in general, yes, an iPad can connect to a Mac Mini.

Does anyone know of a mini sterio with surround sound and optical input in Mac Mini form factor?

Does anyone know of a mini sterio with surround sound and optical input in Mac Mini form factor?
I use a Mini as the family media center and would like to have 5.1 or 7.1 sound for films but don't want a huge piece of eletronic equipment (I have one of those, but it isn't hooked up because it doesn't fit on the bookshelf). Years ago I used a PC and still use the Creative Audigy speaker system (Jimmy rigged to the Mini) that I ran from the PC. The Audigy PCI sound card obviously doesn't work on the Mini, so I just have two chanel plus sub. That has been fine since I switched to the Mini in 2007, but am updating to a new Mini in the summer and would like to upgrade my sound as well.
I also wouldn't be opposed to a USB soundcard that can drive the speakers. In fact, my wife would prefer smaller and less visible, ergo USB card hidden in the back.
Suggestions?

Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

Downloaded tv show episodes. Bought the entire season and after watching one and downloaded first 4-5 they disappeared. This was during the time I was trying to migrate stuff from an older mac mini. Help?

I downloaded several episodes of the tv show "touch." I purchased the entire season and had watched one show. It took quite some time for each show to download, but I had downloaded 4-5.
About this time (within the last two weeks) I was trying to use migration assistant to migrate information from my older mac mini and my macbook. while I was able to move things from my older mac mini I noticed that the tv show went missing.
Also I purchased a program called 'Touched" in a season pass. After I downloaded a couple of episodes I watched one and continued to download the episodes as they were available.
I also purchased a program called "Tune Up" which elminates duplicates of iTunes songs. I have a large collection and this helped to get rid of the duplicates faster than clicking on them one at a time. Maybe this had something to do with the tv shows episodes and the podcasts disapeering.
Any ideas?

This may help

As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p

ITunes u doesnt sync from ipad to mac

HI,
itunes U doesn't sync from ipad to mac, it works from mac to ipad.
I've all the software updated.
if i subscribe a course in the ipad a can't see it in my mac after sync, if i subscribe on the mac i find the course in the ipad.
how i fix it?
thanks
Gabriele

I have exact same problem that will not resolve with all troubleshooting. Only downloaded content on device will sync; subscriptions without downloaded content on the iOS device will not appear on desktop iTunes at all after full sync of iTunes U. Have sent a bug report to Apple and will hope that they fix the bug in the next release! In solidarity.
