Unlocking Apple TV AV output ports
Is there any way to unlock the audio/video ports in the back of the AppleTV so they all work simultaneously? I have to run HDMI to my TV and Toslink to my receiver in two seperate places, but the current AppleTV config shuts off the Toslink when you plug in the HDMI. Help?
This should work. I have the same setup on one of my apple TV's - HDMI video to LCD tv direct and fiber optic link to receiver (receiver is older and doesnt have HDMI switching) and works as advertised.
my advice to double check:
0) cables are pushed in and secured and at both apple tv and receiver.
1) receiver input matches same port you plugged in the cable on the back of the reciever if you have more than 1 tos port.
2) volume is up - i usually cant here the apple tv menu clicks until about -45 db or so.

My mini dvi output port is no longer working (2007 iMac) please help!
My mini dvi output port is no longer working, can this be replaced or do I need a new motherboard? (it's a 2007 iMac, no longer under warrantee. Long story short when I was out of town someone cut my power cord on my tv I went to turn the tv on and looked at the back of the tv to see if there was any loose connections and found the cord sliced 3/4 of the way through. I must have bumped the cord and it sparked and made a loud pop noise. Well it fried the tv (which has since been fixed) but everything that was connected to it (my ps3, receiver, and my iMac) ports are all not working now... (and yes i did try new hdmi cables to see if it was just that) If this is a hardware issue what exactly is needed to fix this? A new main board? Any feedback would be great on this. I took it to apple and they said $650 to replace the motherboard... Was just wondering if this port can just be replaced or if it is a part of the main board and that does need replacing. Everything else works fine on all three things (ps3, receiver, imac) just the outputs are fried on them. Is there any other way I can do video out of my iMac other than mini dvi? I'm not paying for the repair so I don't mind having apple replace the board, but for $650... I may as well get a new iMac for $500 more...
If Apple said the motherboard is gone, that's your answer. Even if you were to find out the port isn't part of the main board, it's all connected when you're talking about a power surge/short as you described it. And yes, I'd never invest $650 in a 5 year old computer.

Can I run a cat5 cable to a 4 port hub from a cisco router then connect one of the hub's output ports to an airport express to 'extend' my wireless range?
Flow would be
Cable modem---->cisco e2000 wifi router (This is broadcasting wifi but not strong enough)---->4 port hub ---->airport express (to extend the wifi in another part of house)
thanks!Yes, you can do this as you stated. In essence you will want to configure both routers for roaming network. Please check out the following Apple Support article that describes this type of network. Although this article uses two or more AirPorts, it can be done with just about any manufacturer's router.

I have more ethernet devices than my time capsule has ethernet output ports. What do I do?
I have more ethernet devices than my apple time capsule has ethernet output ports. What do I do?
Just to add to Bob's comment.. it is much better to move all the connections to the switch..
Don't leave two connections on the TC and then connection to the switch plus the rest.. plug everything into the switch. The only line running to the TC is to connect switch to TC.
The sweet spot for most people is 8 port switches which are now consumer items.. go into any big computer shop.. buy whatever brand you want.. they are not alot different.. but I have noticed smart switches are coming down in price.. to the point cheap end 8 port smart (managed sort of). are the price of dumb switches a year ago.. they also will have better controls and more details. ie discover what is using bandwidth in the network.. some basic QoS .. lots of stuff that Apple routers missed out on.
eg d-link DGS-1100-08
I just bought one to replace my power hungry managed 16 port switch.. although I haven't unboxed it .. sometimes things don't work 100% on Macs but most have simple browser type access. Not all browsers work is my experience but something always does. -
After having my MacBook Pro for just less than a year, the input/output port is suddenly not functioning. Even after clicking the correct buttons in the System Requirements/Sound section, I cannot record through the input and listen through the output modes.
Hi Tim,
Your MBP has a one year hardware warranty on it, so I would contact AppleCare or go in to an Apple Store. -
Where IS the video output port on the early model 20" G5 imac. I don't have my owner's manual handy, and can't find location of Hosiden TCX3143 video display connector as shown in Apple literature.
g5 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Question about video display connectorHello,
See the diagrams below depending on which model you have:
Third from top 'Video Out'.
Right hand side.
Apple calls this a Mini VGA port from it you can use the:
Mini VGA to Composite/S-Video adaptor or
Mini VGA to VGA.
You may wish to read this article for guidance.

G4 AFP Graphics has not sound output port
Greetings, I bought an apple G4 only to later notice that I have no sound output port. I also get no sound whatsoever on my computer speaker. Is there anything I can do?
Hi, Adrian -
The G4 (AGP) models have two sound-related ports on the back, immediately under the pair of USB ports - the upper of the two is a sound input port, the lower of the two is a sound output port. -
The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one. I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country! These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available. THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!! THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one. But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business. -
Why do I get an error 10612 when trying to readback from a line on an output port of a PCi-6527?
I am configuring the port (Port 3) as all outputs (even though it is not software configurable, I wanted to get a Task ID for it the first time that I use it). I can set the bit OK using a Port Write, but then when I follow that with a Port Read, I get the 10612 error. The manual says you can readback from the port, and the data that I'm getting seems correct, yet I still get that error. Is this normal, or is there a better way to implement this. I'm just getting started on my first project, and these simple things are frustrating.
Thanks.The 10612 error code that you are receiving is not actually an error but a warning. The NI-DAQ Function Reference Manual for DIG_In_Prt states that if you call this function on an output port that has readback capability, +10612 will be returned along with the state of the output port. Apparently, this information was not included in the LabVIEW On-line Help. Generally, you can ignore this warning.

Simultanious audio output from both mini Displayport and Audio Output port?
Hey guys,
I was wondering if someone who already has audio+video output through the mini displayport set up can be so kind and answer the following questions for me:
Can audio be output simultaniously from 3.5mm audio port as well as the mini displayport? That is, if I output both video and audio to my reciever through the 2010 iMac's mini Diplayport, can i use the standard audio output port to provide line input for a further set of (active) speakers (analog would be fine)?
In the case both outputs CANNOT work simultaniously, which one will work if i have both plugged in? If the mini displayport has higher rank (or priority or what whatever i should call the one that works when both outputs are plugged in), and the reciever it is plugged into is switched off, will audio automatically switch to the standard audio port? Same question goes if the standard audio output port has higher rank/priority?
Many thanks in advance!
Just in case you are wondering why the heck i would wanna do that, here's some background:
I am planning on setting up my new 27' iMac on a 'work' desk in my bedroom, where i can comfortably sit and work on the computer as well as use the beautiful screen as my bedroom TV. Since i also wanna use my mac for all my living room multimedia needs (movies, tv shows, music, etc), i plan on running a long (15m) audio+video HDMI cable all the way up to my reciever in my living room. Furthermore, i am also planning on running a USB cable to the living room (through something of this sort: http://www.coolgear.com/images/171632pro.jpg) plugged in to a usb hub mainly for mouse/keyboard availability in the living room, but also for other things such as external hard drives and so on. The problem is that, apart from having my audio play in the living room, i also want to provide line input to my reference monitors that will be located at the iMac desk and i obviously much prefer i get the line input directly from the mac rather than running a third cable from reciever back to the speakers.
Message was edited by: LeeonAnyone?
Is that so few people are using the new mini displayport for audio, or did i ask the wrong way?
Help will be greatly appriciated as i need this info in order to plan my purchases! -
Input and Output Ports Problem
Hi,
I have defined an IView where I defined the Outcome to an OUTPUT Port EMP which sends Employee Number.
And I had defined one more IView where it starts from an Input Port EMP, which takes Employee Number as Input for the RFC Enabled Function Module.
Both these IViews are there in the same page. So in the page level I tried defining a link between these two ports of these IViews. But I was not able to do that.
Why is it happening so?
Is it possible to define a link from OUTPUT PORT of FIRST IVIEW to INPUT PORT of SECOND IVIEW?
Can anyone let us know if this is possible.

Hello,
I have managed to program a NI 6602 card in LabView to send pulses on three different output ports, one pulse on each output port (with individually chosen delays) for each input trigger pulse coming on a separate input port. It is the DAQmx Create Channel (CO-Pulse Generation-Time)-VI that I have used for this, see attached code. However, this VI controls both pulse delay and pulse width, and therefore uses two counters for each output port (although you only specify one counter in the VI input signals), as I understand.
In my application though, I only need to have the delay chosen, the pulse width can be arbitrarily short, and thus I should only need one counter for each output port. How do I accomplish to program this in LabView?
Best regards,
Claes

Configure Side Camera Flash 1 Triggering.vi 47 KBWell you're welcome to do that--it will work just fine as long as you are configuring a start trigger.
<rant>
However, personally I really don't like putting multiple counter outputs in the same task. I have seen so many people assume that the counter outputs would be synchronized due to having them in the same task when this is not the case (you need to configure a start trigger in order to synchronize the counter outputs even if they are in the same task). This is the only case I can think of where multiple channels in a DAQmx task are not automatically synchronized.
As an example:
Running this on my PCIe X Series gives a measured 2 edge separation of 1 ms + {7.78 us - 10.11 us}. This would likely be much worse on a bus with more latency (e.g. USB).
The resulting output is close enough to what you might expect that it might go unnoticed, but really these counter outputs are not synchronized and it would be easy to glance at the code and not even think twice about it. For the small amount of extra work on my end to create a separate task for each counter, it really clears up some ambiguity about what the counters are actually doing. For me it's worth it.
So again, for your case there really isn't a problem with having the counters in the same task since you are using an external start trigger anyway. I have just gotten in the habit of avoiding doing this.

Generated Pulse waveform is distorted when I deliver the signal to the output port in the DAQmx
Problem: Generated Pulse waveform is distorted when I deliver the signal to the output port in the DAQmx.
Environment: Windows XP sp3 (32bit), Visual Studio 2010 sp1, NI-Measurement Studio 2010
Device: NI - DAQmx PCI 6251
Analog Input: 1.00MS/s multi-channel (aggregate)
Analog Output: 2 Channel 2.00MS/s
Reference Example: AO_ContGenVoltageWfm_IntClk / AI_ContAcqVoltageSamples_IntClk
Generated Pulse:
1) AO0 = Square Waveform /0-5V / 8KHz / 0.5㎲/sample / sample 50% Duty
2) AO1 = Square Waveform /0-5V / 8KHz / 0.5㎲/sample / (Reverse Image)
Description: I’d like to deliver the waveform stream satisfied with specified constraints to the 2 channel output port in the DAQmx. To verify accuracy of the generated waveform, I did an electrical wiring from the Analog output channel (2 channels) to the Analog Input channel (2 channels) in DAQmx. As a result of this experiment, I could get a result which has signal distortion. Since the waveform has to satisfy with both high frequency (8KHz) and very short moment interval time (△t = 0.5㎲/sample) between samples, I cannot handle some parameters of the function in the referenced VC++ example. Following formulas shows an approach to deliver the generate pulse waveform to output port satisfied with constraints.
Analog Output Channel
Frequency = 8,000 cycles/sec (constraint)
Sample per Buffer = 2,000,000 = 2*106 samples/buffer
Cycles per Buffer = 80,000 cycles/buffer
Sample per Channel = 1,000,000 = 1*106 samples/channel
Sample Rate = Frequency * (Sample per Buffer / Cycle per Buffer)
= 8,000 * (2*106 / 80,000) = 2*106 samples / sec
△t = 1 sec / 2*106 samples / sec
= 0.5 * 10-6 sec/sample (constraint)
Buffer Cycle = Sample Rate / Sample per Channel
= (2*106 samples / sec) / (1*106 samples/channel)
= 2 channel / sec
Analog Input Channel
Sample per Channel = 1,000,000 = 1*106 samples/channel
Sample Rate = 1 MS/s * (2 Channel) = 5 * 105 Samples / Sec
Program Code
AO_ContGenVoltageWfm_IntClk / AI_ContAcqVoltageSamples_IntClk (VC++ Example)
Result: The proposed approach was implemented in the experiment environment (VS2010, MStudio2010). As shown in Figure 1, we could get the unsatisfied result. Although I intended to make a ‘square’ pulse wave, the result looks like ‘trapezoid’ pulse wave (Figure.1). However, there is other result which was undertaken with different parameter condition. It looks like the square shape not the trapezoid shape.
Please let me know what the conditions make the problem of signal distortion. (AO0 = Green line / AO1 = Red line)
[Figure. 1] Frequency 8000 Hz / Cycle per Buffer = 8000 Result
[Figure. 2] Frequency 1000 Hz / Cycle per Buffer = 1000 Result
Questions: Please let me know following questions.
1) Is it possible to deliver the generated pulse wave satisfied with constraints (f= 8KHz), △t = 0.5㎲/sample) to the output port without distortion using PXI 6251?
(Is it possible to solve the problem, if I use the LabView or MAX?)
2) Are there some mistakes in the proposed approach? (H/W or S/W program)
3) What is the meaning of the Cycle per Buffer?, It could effect to the result?Hi Brett Burger,
Thanks for your reply. For your information, I have set the sampling rate as 10000 as for the sound format, I have set the bits per sample as 16 bit, the rate as 11025 and the sound quality as mono. I tried using your method by changing the sampling rate as 8K but still my program encounter the same problem.
I wish to also create a button that is able to generate a preformatted report that contains VI documentation, data the VI returns, and report properties, such as the author, company, and number of pages only when I click on the button. I have created this in my program, but I am not sure why is it not working. Can you help troubleshoot my program. Or do you have any samples to provide me. Hope to hear from you soon.
Many thanks.

Satellite A305-S6872 - S/P DIF output port (shared with headphone port)
The A305-S6872 manual specifies that I could use the same output port of the headphone to get the S/PDIF digital sinal.
Can anyone help me to understand what is the right cable to use this output to take the audio digital signal to my home theater (which has a digital coax as input)?
If I use one cable P2 to RCA, the RCA and has 2 plugs (as P2 is stereo) - can I use one of the jacks to plug in the home theater coax digital input?
Tks for your assistance,

RodrigoIt's an optical digital out.
You need a optical mini to Toslink cable.
And, of course, a reciever or other decoder with an optical input.
The cable would be like the following:
