Is there a special optical audio cable to connect the appletv device toa tv

the only optical cable type appletv support is toslink

if your sony tv support that input I can't say
not even sure if my Bravia does because I connect it to my sony surround receiver rather then the tv

Optical or analog cable for connecting Macbook 1,1 to Sony Bravia

Hello
I have found a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter (plus HDMI cable) to take the video from a Macbook 1,1 (all white) to a Sony Bravia TV. Now I need to find the right cable to carry the audio from the Macbook to the Sony Bravia. The Macbook has an optical (digital) audio socket (output?) and the Sony Bravia has 3 HDMI ports and 5 apparent audio jack ports (no idea whether they are 2.5 or 3.5 mm and whether they are analogue or digital). Please could someone advise me which or what sort of audio cable I should buy.
Here are the Mac specs.

Many thanks for any and all help

OK. So I now have the sound connection working. The 3.5mm jack from the audio cable goes into the headphone socket, NOT the optical (digital) audio socket on the Macbook, and the red and white jacks go into the respective red and white sockets (surprise, surprise) on the back of the Sony Bravia. I select 'Comp" as the input audio source in the TV settings, and the audio from the computer is broadcast perfectly from the TV internal speakers.
I am now waiting for delivery of the mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and have a question related to this.
The TV settings offer options for external devices corresponding to the ports on the TV, which include HDMI and Comp. When I have both the mini-DVI to HDMI and the audio cables connected, should I still choose Comp, or should I switch to HDMI as the external device. Will the TV be able to pick up input from 2 external devices at the same time although only one can be selected?

TS2090 there is no audio when I connect my macbook to the sony tv through hdmi

I am trying to connect my macbook pro to my sony tv through hdmi cable, but I can only see the video but there is no audio on the tv. Please help?

if I were you I would ask in the macbook forum as your question don't relate to appletv
and more users who own macbooks would be reading that forum

How can I create my own network in my dorm? (Using Airport Extreme + ethernet cable) (To connect AppleTV and Sonos successfully with no restrictions)

So I recently set up my Apple Airport Extreme Router in my dorm and have a BIG problem. It works and lets me do most things on my own network, but when I try doing things on my external devices connected to the network (Apple TV and Sonos Hi-Fi Sound system) the connection just doesn't go through. I'll give two examples.
After setting up my Sonos system successfully, I was prompted to update the software so I can use options that need internet access such as pandora and soundcloud. It just didn't work at all. It gave me an error that had to do with internet connection. I tried numerous times.
On Apple TV, I used AirPlay on my phone to mirror what I was seeing on my phone and then tried to play youtube, soundcloud, and other music apps and none of them worked.
My guess is that it has something to do with my school's restrictions on streaming or downloading. But none of this stuff is actually restricted so I know it must be due to the transfer of information between my network (which is connected to the school's network I am assuming, since my ethernet port is in my dorm wall) and my external devices.
Honestly I'll probably get the "Your school has these restrictions answer", but I know there is a way to fix this and I really want the answer!!
Thanks,
Andres

You don't need the AirPort Express to do this.
You can set your Mac to share it's wired connection over the wireless port and the iTouch can connect directly to the Mac.
You could also do it with the AirPort Express, but you don't need to - it's overkill for what you've described.

DVD optical cable to iPod HiFi sputtering

I recently bought a new DVD player with optical output. I bought an optical cable to connect it to my iPod HiFi. However the only audio that emerges is this bizzare sputtering, like a tiny engine or something - "pff pff pff pff pff pff pff", etc. I'm new to the world of optical connections. Any guidance as to what this problem could be?
Standard RCA to miniplug works fine, but I really wanted to try this optical hookup thing.

The thing is that, even though iPod HiFi does have optical input, it does not have integrated digital decoder for multi-channel signal decoding. To put it in a few words, DVD audio is usually Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1/6.1/7.1. This is not possible to listen on iPod HiFi because it does not understand that complex signal and cannot translate it to analog audio output it supports, hence the digital buzzing sound you hear when you connect a digital optical source. Try playing a DVD with your Mac’s DVD Player app and change the sound output format from analog to digital when connected to iPod HiFi by optical cable and you will hear what I am trying to explain.

Satellite P770-111 no SATA cable to connect 2nd HDD

Hello!
I bought Satellite P770-111 3 days ago and was hoping to insert another HDD that I had in my old laptop.
Ok, I opened the plastic cover on the lower side of the laptop and there are 2 hdd (2.5") slots but only one HDD.
The one HDD that is currenty in the laptop is 500 gb big. I would like to install another one but there is a problem:
there's no SATA cable to connect it to the motherboard.
Basically, there are 2 hdd slots but only one connection interface. Could you please tell me how could I install a 2nd HDD?
Thank you in advance!
Damjan

Thanks for you quick reply! :)
I know that but the problem is that I can't find which motherboard is in this particular series.
I guess that 111 stands for adriatic region so only specs that I found online are these:
http://bl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/hr/product/Satellite-P770-111/1111702/toshibaShop/false/
and in there you can't find what motherboard does this laptop have.
Any help with that?

Is there a way to have audio only come through the optic cable and video come only through HDMI on Apple TV 3rd Gen?

I currently have a digital optic cable hook up from my Apple TV 3 to my receiver and a HDMI hook up from my Apple TV 3to my flat screen. The audio is coming out of my TV speakers and receiver at the same time. I was wonder if there was a way to switch the audio output from the Apple TV 3 to the digital optic cable and only have video come out of the HDMI? I really only plan on using my receiver for the audio for my Apple TV 3. I know that I can just mute the TV but I wanted to know if there was a way to switch the feed. Thanks

There is an option on my TV but if I do that I lose all my audio on the TV. I have 3 HDMI ports on my Flat Screen. One is for my cable, one is for my PS3 (BTW the PS3 has an option to switch the audio feed so it will come out of the digital optic cable and leave video for the HDMI), and the last one is for my Apple TV 3. If I switch to external speakers I will lose my audio for the cable. I was hoping there was a way to switch the audio feed on the Apple TV 3.

HT204400 I get no audio from this device. All my HDMI ports are in use with the cable box, DVR and receiver . My digital optical cable is also in use to the receiver. Is there a solution?

I cannot get audio using this device all my HDMI ports are in use as well as my digital optical cable. Any solutions?

How exactly is the ATV connected if all HDMI ports are in use?
If connected directly to the TV, then audio is being sent to the TV speakers, not the receiver.

TOSlink optical cable for a Ma Pro? How does it work?

Not sure if this is the place for this question or not, but I am trying to find out more information about the optical audio in/out section of the Mac Pro. On Apple's description page it claims that a regular TOSlink optical cable will work in those slots, but by looking at them, it doesn't seem like it would fit at all. Does a piece in the middle of the optical audio port go inwards? How would you ever be able to get a TOSlink cable to fit it? Anyone have any pictures of an optical cable inserted into a Mac Pro so I can see how it all works?
I know this might seem like a rather absurd question, but I am trying to figure out if I can plug my old stereo surround sound amp into my Mac Pro to use it for audio. Thanks for the help!

There are covers that will swing in out of the way as you press a connector against them. At least this is the case on my Mac Pro..

Apple Tv sound dropout with optical cable

Hi there,
First of all Merry Christmas to everybody out there...
I received yesterday for christmas the latest apple TV.
I connected it to my tv with HDMI cable and to hifi, bose home cinema lifestyle 28, with optical cable.
Sound through HDMI cable is perfect but...playing music from macbook pro or iphone 4S through optical cable is a problem.
I have sound drop outs for a second now and then...
Cable is well attached on both sides...
What do i have to do?
Kind regards,
Laurent

I also have this problem... Any ideas

Running a motu though a digi 003 via an optical cable

im running a motu though a digi 003 via an optical cable and it works great most of the time, but every now and again i get a spike in the signal.
is there anything that i can do about this?
any help would be greatly appreciated

When you're connecting 2 digital devices via a digital audio cable you need to make sure they are running off the same clock, otherwise you will suffer from something called jitter. Jitter can manifest itself in a number of ways depending on its severity. Because both the devices you are using have good stable clocks you're not hearing it most of the time. But when their clocks do slip out of sync with each other a number of bits are getting read at the wrong value, which causes a click in your audio.
What you need to do is make both devices use the same clock. Since the 003 is the interface Logic uses I would suggest you use this as the master. You need to set the 8pre's clock source as ADAT. I've posted a screenshot below from our 2408 config. I don't know how similar they are but I hope it helps.
I would also make sure you always turn the 003 on first as many devices will automatically revert to their internal clock if they can't read one from the source you've set. I'd double-check the clock source the first couple of times you turn everything on.
Good luck with it.
And yes fer, of course the 003 transmits clock. Any digital audio connector transmits clock inherently. Receiving devices uses a phase locked loop to sync to it. I cannot believe your original response to this post went on about drivers. If a post about 2 digitally connected devices causing clicks does not scream jitter at you then you don't know half as much as you think you do. Please stop posting advice on things you know nothing about.

Is there a Usb Optical audio adapter for 2012 iMac?

I didn't realize that there wasn't going to be an optical audio output until the day I unboxed the iMac. I would like to plug it into my headphones that require a optical ouput. Any help well be appericated, thanks.

Yes, I have. I have Astro A50's and the mixamp needs a optical cable. Is there a usb optical adapter that I can plug into the iMac?

Optical cable from Macbook to Hi-Fi. No Audio

Hi Guys
Help required. I want to listen to my Itunes and movies from my macbook via my HI-FI speakers. I've connected a Sandstrom digtial optical cable from the macbook (white) to my Panasonic SCPM29 HI-Fi (with optical out) but there is no audio coming out of the speakers. Input is set to AUX on Hi-fi.
Helpful pictures included.
Any ideas
Thanks

Reverse of Hi-Fi with sandstrom cable in optical out port

I updated tonight and I now also have no audio in any way - I don't even get the remote clicks. Looking through these forums, it looks like this is a problem every time Apple TV updates? Anyway, I tried to follow a suggestion in another thread to connect to my computer and restore the previous firmware version but iTunes doesn't recognize the device (device driver installed fine but it doesn't show up in iTunes or as a USB device in My Computer (I have a PC)). So, maybe I'm doing something wrong but I'm a little annoyed that I now apparently own a $100 puck. Has anyone found a solution since the last time or any really simple instructions for rolling back an update? I won't be able to get to an Apple store until Tuesday and my blood pressure goes up now every time I look at the little box sitting there totally useless....

Do NI have a PXIe Fibre Optic Power Meter to measure loss (attenuation) and output power from a Fibre Optic cable

Hi, I want to be able to measure the loss in a Fibre Optic cable at a wavelength of 650nm, is there any PXIe cards that can perform this function
Thanks

Hi Paul_byrne,
There is no specific NI PXIe card which measures the power output of optical fibres. However the task can be accomplished using an Optical Sensor and a DAQ Board. Here is a white paper which provides an example of the hardware components and setup:
Lowering the Cost of Optical Power Measurements

hope this helps,

Can I Replace or Extend the Fiber Optic Cable?

There is a cable that runs from the Verizon box outside of my house, comes into the basement corner of the house, and plugs into the router. Do I assume this is fiber optic cable? This cable is about 3 ft long which is problematic in getting a good signal throughout my house. I would like to move the router up one floor. All the other cords and cables are long enough to do so.
My question is what is this cable called and can I replace it or extend it myself? If so, is there any pertinent information I would need to know to do so such as part names and where to get them. If not, how do I get a longer cable installed.
I am not tech savvy and grateful for any help.
Solved!

No. The fiber optic cable attaches to the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), which is usually outside.
For speed tiers < 100Mbps, the installation is usually coax from the ONT to your router.
For speed tiers > 100Mbps, the installation is always ethernet from the ONT to your router.
If the cable from the ONT is indeed an ethernet cable, you can certainly replace it.
The ONT has a standard RJ45 jack which the other end of the cable is connected to.
You can confirm if you're connected via ethernet in two ways.
1) The WAN ETHERNET light on your router should be lit and the WAN coax light should be off.
2) The ethernet cable should be connected to the white WAN port on the back of your router.
Since your ONT is outside, replacing the ethernet cable presents a couple of problems..
1) When VZ installed the cable, they passed it through the wall, then sealed the opening with silicone.
You need to make sure you can fit a preterminated cable through that opening unless you're capable of terminating a cat5 cable yourself.
2) You need to reseal the opening with silicone.
An easier option is an RJ45 coupler.

Yes, but they will charge you a truck roll to do so. $88 or so.
