Thunderbolt to AV receiver and on to HDTV
I am trying to play movies through my new Yamaha RX A-2010 AV receiver from my Macbook Pro via the thunderbolt connection converted to HDMI.
The receiver recognises the sound, but the laptop does not see the HDTV through receiver. As a consequence, no image signal is sent to the receiver, and then on to the HDTV.
When I connect the laptop directly to the HDTV - the TV appears as a display choice alongside the laptop, and when chosen, the image is perfect.
I then connect the headphone jack out via phono/RCA plugs to the receiver and I get sound, which appears to decode into surround sound,but this is quite inelegant.
Am I doing something wrong, and is there a way of getting the laptop to recognise there is anothe monitor?
Thanks
OK, back before I bought my Apple Thunderbolt Display, I used this adapter from Monoprice to connect to my Denon receiver and thus to my LG television. Worked a treat. I just had to get the setup right on my MBP and everything just worked.
I don't know if the problem is your adapter or not - the one I bought from Monoprice carried both audio and video without any extra cables. All of the DSP was done through the receiver.

I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
Thanks!Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. -
Thunderbolt is not receiving text messages
I recently purchased a thunderbolt, approximately a month and a half ago. It was working completely fine until about a week ago, when I started having issues with not receiving text messages. It can be resolved by resetting the phone, but there's no way to know whether or not I need to do that unless I'm in the middle of a text conversation and I suddenly stop receiving messages. I know my messages are going out because I can still communicate through facebook and other non SMS or MMS applications, and all other functions work properly, but this happens once or twice a day, and is extremely frustrating.
I'm having the same problem. My Thunderbolt is a refurb I received when my first Thunderbolt died this past fall. I never had any SMS/MMS issues until very late February. The problem is that I cannot receive any text messages. Sending messages works fine, but I cannot receive any. If my wife sends me a message, her phone will say it goes through, but I get nothing on my end. This was a huge problem when I went 4-5 days without receiving any texts since I didn't know I wasn't receiving the messages.
The problem resolves itself when I reboot/restart the phone, but I don't want to have to reboot my phone every night. The most recent time, I went 2 days without any texting problems before the "can't receive" issue came back.
My Thunderbolt is STOCK (radio, ROM, etc.). I have no 3rd-party texting apps -- I'm using the stock messaging app. -
Need receiver and home theather system
I'm consolidating all my peripherals onto the 6 year old 60" JVC HDtv that is connected via the Dish satellite. I'm pretty sure I'll need a receiver and want to replace my old home theater system as well. Just moved into a temporary house, so won't be doing any major mods or permanent installation though & therefore wireless speakers would be a definite plus. The other significant issue is that my wife wears hearing aids so we definitely need a sound system that will allow dialogue enhancing &/or a separate personal amp system, compatible with the HTS. She's tried TV ears, but the ear plugs are uncomfortable for her. Are headphones the best solution?
I have a wireless router, so what's the best solution for accessing the internet and viewing on the HDtv?
Thanks for any/all feedback and recommendations
Semper Fidelis
KenKen,
Wired or wireless over-the-ear headphones would be a great solution for you if your main concern is dialogue clarity. Especially if you're in a temporary location and want ease of use/setup. Now, if you want something you can both watch movies and play music on, and you want to keep wiring to the bare minimum (as well as killing two birds with one stone by having internet streaming on the TV...), I highly recommend an integrated home-theater-in-a-box with Blu-ray Player (i.e. Samsung, Sony) that have wireless rear speakers. The Blu-ray player part of it will have the Wi-Fi built-in and the rear speakers will get their power from a wireless receiving box that needs only plug into power anywhere in the room. You can get decent clear sound from these by running your Dish box directly into an HDMI input on the home theater and have a second HDMI cable running from the output on the system to an HDMI input on the TV. Food for thought! -

Just hooked up my Apple TV. It's great. I have a satellite receiver and also a multi room sound system where I would like the sound to come through. Can anyone tell me how I would connect to accomplish this. My HDMI is connected so the sound is coming through my TV just fine. I would like it to come through my sound system instead. Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Hi:
My system is as follows. 1 only HDMI output on TV. I purchased an HDMI switch box/unit. I have the output from the Switch Box Unit going into my TV.
I have 5 inputs on the switch box unit. 2 I have used.....
1 input from my television satellite receiver
2 input from my Apple TV
My other equipment is
1 home theatre system. This is where the sound from my TV goes through
1 russ sound whole home sound distribution system
When I play my Apple TV I am still getting the sound of my satellite TV.
This suggests that your satellite receiver is connected to your "home theater system" (which I will shorten to AVR "Audio/Video Receiver") for audio. Is this correct?
If so, then your problem is that you're switching video inputs, but not audio, and what I listed as (2) applies:
2. You can connect the ATV to the TV using HDMI. Then you can either:
2a. Connect the TV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
2b. Connect the ATV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
You've connected the ATV to the "switch box" instead of the TV, which amounts to the same thing, as you're just expanding the number of HDMI ports on the TV by using the switch. So your simplest solution is either 2a or 2b. If your TV has an audio out port, and it's the same kind of port that your satellite receiver uses, you can just disconnect the audio cable from the satellite receiver and plug it into your TV. You may have to enable "external speakers" or whatever they call it in the TV settings. This would be best, because then you wouldn't have to change inputs on the AVR to select the correct audio; you would just change inputs on the switch, and both video and audio would switch between the satellite box and the ATV, solving your problem. Note that an optical cable is required to get Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (surround sound), and I mention that because it's possible you're using an analog audio (RCA) cable. So an optical cable is best.
Beyond this, I would really need to know your TV and AVR model numbers, preferably accompanied by links to specification pages or manuals, and it would be very helpful to know how the satellite receiver is connected to the AVR for sound. -
I have an HDMI connection to the receiver and on to the TV - but there is non audio from my Apple TV. Not for movies, music, YouTube etc. I have checked all of the connections and the video is xlnt. Have also toggled thru all possible Dolby/Audio combinations in settings. Help! Any suggestions?
Hello again Parker -
The basic setup is Digital Cable Box, DVD Player, Denon Receiver/Amp and TV Monitor. To that I added the Apple TV. The Receiver only has two HDMI IN slots (one for cable and one for the DVD) and one out to the Monitor.
[I bought a switcher to toggle the DVD and the AppleTV back and forth but just disconnected the DVD to simplify when I ran in to trouble.]
So now I have:
HDMI from the Cable Box to the Receiver
HDMI from the Apple TV to the Receiver (in the old DVD slot which always worked well)
HDMI from the Receiver to the Monitor
RCA's from the Receiver to the Subwoofer and the other speakers
In addition I have some backup connections:
S-Video, Optical Audio and L/R RCA's from the Cable Box to the Receiver
S-Video from the Receiver to the Monitor
Wait - JUST FOUND IT!
By going thru the excercise to track all of the connections per your suggestion, I found an anomaly when I switched Receiver sockets for the HDMI links. The video moved but the audio didn't. Turns out the monitor was using the optical audio feed from the receiver. So I disconnected the optical audio and the monitor automatically switched to the HDMI audio feed! Looked promising...
So I first connected an optical audio feed from the ATV to the receiver - Audio! Then I pulled it, but the audio didn't switch to the HDMI feed. It stopped. Would be OK if all I was going to use is the ATV, but I need the DVD player too and I can't use a switcher to toggle between them if I have to unplug the optical audio each time.
This is becoming a career! Any suggestions?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?
I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.
Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck -
Material stock received and issued for a given period of time
HOW to get the material stock received and issued for a given period of time including the open orders.
if there is any BAPI Available then please tell me. or give me the table relations thaks.
thanks inadvancehi friend,
Why don't you try using a TIMER. Try using this code
Timer timer = new Timer((TIMER), new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
// perform your task here...
timer.setInitialDelay(TIMER);
timer.setRepeats(true);
timer.start();
I think this will work fine.

T_Code 1KEK - Transferring Receivables and Paybles to PCA
Hi SAPients,
We normally do the transfer of Receivables and Paybles to PCA through T-code 1KEK as a period end closing process. Now something strange is happening which was never before. While transferring the Receivables and Paybles through 1KEK, all the line items are getting transferred to Dummy profit Centre rather the respective ones which is resulting in the mismatch in basic ledger and comparision ledger in T-code GCAC ( Ledger Comparision ). Can any body explain why it is happening and where the dummy profit centre is getting picked from for 1KEK?
Thanks,
BABAHi,
The following needs to be done.
1) Ensure you have assigned all B/S accounts in 3KEH.
2)Execute F.5D (Calculate Balance Sheet Adjustment)
3) Execute F.5E (Post Balance Sheet Adjustment) (mark the option "Post to profit center")
4) Execute 1KEK.
Regards,

i am using one apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. my phone is able to receive and make calls while my mac is not able to do both. what is the problem.
thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

i have an older yamaha receiver and projector both without hdmi inputs but component video instead. I would like to get apple tv and start renting movies through iTunes but apple tv only supports hdmi and ive read that iTunes has codes to prevent the use ot analog cables with movies. Is there a way to adapt hdmi to component video for both apple tv and iTunes easily?
Yes, HDMI is the only supported method. Also, with converters you will run into issues with HDCP (which will prevent you from streaming DRM content from iTunes etc) as well as resolution.

When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings? Or check voicemail. I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email. But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts. So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time. (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home. (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home? My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home. Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home? Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages. I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed? So do I need wifi on to receive texts too? Thank you - GregorySC
Hello GregorySC,
In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS 5.0 or later
A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages

When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind" the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox. How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message. I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.
Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread". I think that will make each message show individually.

Unit of measurement for materials received and withdrawn
Hi Experts,
Base unit of material is KG whereas sales unit is M2 and conversion is maintained between both. Now I am using sale unit (M2) while entering material componenets. Then I am raising PR, PO, GR in project and withdraw the material in sale unit M2. But system updates the report in KG (under purchasing data tab of component). When I get material report, system shows reqmt qty in M2 but received and withdrawn qty in KG. Its confusing and doesn' serve the reporting purpose. Can we do something so that received and withdrawn qty will appear in M2 (sale unit) rather than KG (base unit)?
Thanks and Regards
Dinesh ChauhanHi,
To resolve this issue, you need to maintain the conversion factors. In material master, additional tab, unit of measure tab you need to maintain the conversion factors. Say example I Kg = How much M2. If you maintain this the system will convert automatically all the Kg in to M2, or vice versa you can do. Otherwise you can maintain the conversion factors in the Info Record also for externally procured materials.

V. Suresh
