iMac connects to Apple mini DVI to DVI cable.
That DVI end is female. I buy a 10 Meter DVI to HDMI Cable
Connect to TV and I can see my iMac on the Screen?
This is exactly the setup I have, so should be good! Just one question:

I've got HDMI/DVI (The DVI port) and a D/Sub
You say "The DVI port"... do you mean "the HDMI port"? If yes (i.e. the port on the TV is HDMI) then you're good to go... enjoy ur extended desktop!

1 of 3

Ok, so I brought the cables ... they are going to be coming to the house soon.

the one cable the 3.5 mini plug to RCA cable came (Y)

BUT ....

if i plug it into my audio port on my iMac and the side of my TV that does nothing ...

am I missing something? I should still be able to use the TV's speakers shouldn't I?

w.b

DeltaMac will become famous soon enough
Is the audio port on your TV an output (to headphones, etc), or an input (from a DVD/VCR, etc)?

hmmm, is your TV in the correct input mode (source)? Sorry if thats too obvious, but my TV wont actually let me select my HDMI/DVI input unless hdmi is plugged in, regardless of whether audio cables are plugged in. For now, until you get the HDMI cable, just try a different input.

Wait, "the side of your TV" - is this where your HDMI/DVI is located? or is this just a standard video in? I've just never seen HDMI at the side, its usually on the back. Either way, try plugging in the audio cable to any source on your TV, playing some music on your mac, and cycling through the sources on your TV until you hear the music. it has to work...

that makes no sense. you could test the cable with an ipod or something, or on a different tv, but i cant think of other reasons for it not to work. i guess the other place to look is on the mac end - it is for sure plugged into audio out, and not mic in?
