Video connects but sound doesn't always connect to apple tv
Since getting the Apple TV2 1080P HD about 6months ago, I have had connectivity issues with the audio.
I have the apple tv connected to the tv via HDMI and Optical Audio
When I connect to the apple tv from my macbook the video always streams but sometimes (every 4-5) the audio stays on 'internal speakers'
When I hold 'option' and click on the sound control it shows Apple TV but when I click on it, it doesn't select it.
I then have to restart the computer or do a series of disconnecting and reconnecting until it works properly.
I couldn't find anyone else with this problem so I'm wondering if it my unit is isolated with this.
Any help greatly appreciated
I downloaded an app LionAudioFix.. I've pinned it to the dock. This resets the audio.

For videos I've been using Beamer, I've been extremely happy and haven't had any audio/playback issues using this with the AppleTV. Video quality is top notch and you can use your computer while a video streams.
Hope this helps you.

Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?
To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad. Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
Thanks.It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

Updated my ipod touch to ios6 now apps close without warning and seems really slow to repsond. Also doesn't always connect to the Wifi never had any problems before upgrade
Try a hard reboot (hold home and power buttons down at the same time until your iPod reboots). If that doesn't work, do a restore in iTunes and do not restore from backup. You wqill lose your game data and settings, but your iPod should run better and work properly.

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match
That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
You need to have Home Sharing On.
Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
Choose your iTunes' library and have fun. -
Changed PW in my home network. Now when I try to log on I get "unable to connect" , but it doesn't ask for he new (or any) password, so I'm dead in the water. Any suggestions?
Use the Settings app to select your Wi-Fi network.
Settings > Wi-Fi > Select the Wi-Fi Network that will not work > then select Forget this Network
After to accept this choice your iPad should see your network again and allow you to enter the new password. -
My WiFi is connected but I can't get connected to internet on my Ipad
My Wifi is connected but I can't get connected to the internet on my Ipad.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

my wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it says the internet is not connected, i tryed resetting network system but still no luck.
Your iPad sees the WiFi network signal but obviously it is not connected to the network. Try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

I purchased 20 copies of the King of Math App in VPP and downloaded the codes but it doesn't show up in Apple Configurator. What do I do now?App not showing
If you click View, Show Sidebar you will see the other libraries under Shared in the left hand column. Click on the Library you want and you can expand it to select Music, Movies etc. Select whatever items you want and click import if you want to move them to your Library.
You will have to have all computers authorised with the relevant Apple ID's
Store > Authorise this computer...
This is separate from the Home Sharing username and password and is to allow playing of DRM Movies, TV shows etc from the other computer.
If both Computers use the same apple id this step is not required. -
Mini doesn't always connect bluetooth and external (USB) drives on boot
I have had a new Intel mini for 4 months now (we also have a PPC G5, which we love). In the last few weeks the mini started to not connect my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, nor recognize some of my USB peripherals when booting up. When this happens, it also makes a repeated "startup sound - bong!" echo when the start button is pressed. I have two external USB drives, one 500GB Phantom and one 500GB WD MyBook. When the Apple logo appears at boot, I can see the activity lights flashing on the drives as the BIOS interrogates the USB connections, but after the Leopard start up desktop appears, the only drive shown is Macintosh HD, the mouse pointer is at the top left of the display and will not move, nor will the keyboard do anything. I have read every post on this subject and tried all of the resets suggested. Sometimes this works after a few attempts, sometimes it takes 6 or more tries - disconnecting all cables, and turning the computer on again and again. Occasionally the WD MyBook drive appears on the desktop, yet still the Bluetooth is unresponsive and the other drive absent. I am getting frustrated having to disconnect everything and trying to boot this thing up, sometimes for one hour or longer before I can use it properly (all of my work is on the external drives).
There MUST be a firmware update for this by now, because I see that I am not the only one experiencing these problems, and this is obviously some problem with how the BIOS is communicating with the bus.Hi amyta pdx-
I'd be careful jumping to conclusions or the troubleshooting process may get clouded. For one thing those WD drives are junk and most people using them eventually have problems.
What happens with everything disconnected from the Mac except a mouse connected to a USB port on the Mac and the monitor connected to the video port only?
Luck-

Doesn't always connect to internet. Why?
My internet connection is DSL through Comcast. I just set up Airport Express. I can always connect directly to my network, and the Internet Connect window shows my status as being connected via PPPoE, but when I go to start Firefox it takes several attempts to actually get to the internet. Sometimes an error message shows up concerning the PPPoE, but it doesn't make any sense. I usually end up fiddling with everything until somethig triggers the internet to start up. Does anyone know what's going on? I should be able to start Firefox up right away!
PowerBook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.3.9)To update, my connection is SBC (not Comcast) and the error message that sometimes pops up is "No PPPoE server has been found for the specified service. Please delete the service name option and try again." I followed those instructions and deleted the service name option, but the error message still pops up when I the internet doesn't connect.
Any help please! Thanks.
