Will this work with Apple TV and is it the same as connecting an HDMI cable or do I need another cable for audio?/video? Dont mean to sound dumb but I have never used this type of cable so I do not know what exactly it is good for or not good for........

this does work on my apple tv (v3), but it is only meant to carry audio signal to another device with an optical in. I am using it to send audio to an amplifier so I can listen to music streamed to the apple tv without having to turn on the TV. You will want an HDMI cable to go from your apple tv to your TV.

It worked for us! My advice is still to buy an Apple TV and use the HDMI cable to connect it to your TV - the adapters haven't lasted long for me so it was cheaper in the long run to buy the little box and set it up - you can use the Bluetooth to mirror your ipad or iphone onto the TV if you want to use an app that isn't already pre-programmed into Apple TV

It worked for me with AppleTV. I used this device to strip analog R&L; audio for a second zone because my Onkyo receiver wont convert the signal internally. Unfortunately, the video stopped passing through about 3 weeks after I bought it.

Yes, you need this cable to connect your Apple TV. The instructions are easy to follow.

Dear Customer, Thank you for your question in regards to our HDMI to DVI adapter and Apple TV. As long as your TV has a DVI connection, and from our research the Apple is HDMI out, the connection should work. To confirm this we would need the make and model of your TV. If you would like confirmation , please email us at Service@bluerigger.com with the make and model of your TV. Thanks! BlueRigger Product Support Service@Bluerigger.com

My Apple TV only has an hdmi output and one end of this cable is a mini display port so unless your Apple TV or Samsung tv has a mini display port it will not work.

Sorry, not a mac person. But, its a generic HDMI switch, any spec HDMI cord should switch and pass through. And this is why I am a PC person, no need to buy dedicated cords. Why make life so hard?

If I understand your question, you should need only one adapter (for the Mac). With that you could simply use an HDMI cable, connecting one end to your TV and the other to your Mac adapter. Hope this helps.

It works on AppleTV 3, Thats why I bought it, I have too old TVs in the Bedroom and Basement, that only have old RCA connections, and this works like a charm. You do need a USB plug to plug it in, it won't work on the HDMI alone from the AppleTV. It does also look squished on one of my TVs that is not widescreen, its a normal 4:3 full screen EDTV LCD, it has black bars on the left/right seems it dosn't support necessary aspect ratio but it still works just looks a little off. The Widescreen TV works fine without issues but that TV supports 720 just don't have HDMI inputs. Works fine, just make sure you have a USB charger nearby to plug it in.

This cable is intended to use with mini display port equipped screens such as the "older" apple Cinema Display. It works perfect with it, both video and data are transferred correctly.the thunderbolt port is backwards compatible with mini display port, so If you just want the video from your display it will work, however the data (such as audio) it's transferred via thunderbolt so you won't be able to use it at its full capacity. I would advise to look for a thunderbolt extension , do you can get its full power

I have similar problem with this cable. My Samsung TV used to say "No input signal". But the other converter (BestDealUSA or TOOGOO 3-in-1 display port to HDMI) that I have transmits video signal properly. Thats why I do not recommend ththis cable. As far as audio is concerned I dont think Mac's mini display port outputs sound. You can use the sound speakers from the mac book, or connect audio cables from Mac's audio out to TV's audio input.

It doesn't work well with my Apple TV 4. Both had same problem. Had to get another brand.

I'm not familiar with Apple TV so I can't answer that part of your question. I can tell you that the Optical Cable is for AUDIO Only. You'll need HDMI (or other) cable for Video. Hope this helps.

Hi I bought this to use in Australia and it works wonderfully but not with Apple TV. It causes interference with the picture and sound. The only way I got the Apple TV to work was to connect it directly to the tv. As I had 2 hdmi ports on the tv I just swapped the Apple TV with the satellite tv and it worked fine.

I'm not sure if this will work with Apple tv. As long as you have an optical audio port then yes it will work. And this is just an audio signal cable. No video like with an hdmi.

No this is designed to work the opposite way. It is designed for a DVI input and an HDMI output. The HDMI is designed to be an output to the TV. Not an input from the Apple Tv.
