Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

  • Can I stream video and audio from Game Center Live to my HDTV using Apple TV?

    I am trying to stream hockey games from Game Center Live to my HDTV through a cabled ethernet connect to my Macbook Air and then wirelessly to my Apple TV.  Apparently my Apple TV cannot find my Macbook Air because I cannot make the connection.  Alternatively, I have heard that I might be able to access Game Center Live directly with my Apple TV but I'm not sure how to do that.  Any advice is most appreciated.

    You can only access content directly through a native app on Apple TV. To stream from your MBA you would need to use airplay mirroring, which will require a model from 2011 or later running OS X 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use a 3rd party program like Airparrot, results vary to use the trial first.

  • Fastest way to transfer video and audio from MacBook to TV?

    Hello All,
    Thanks for visiting my page. I would like to transfer video and audio from my Macbook mid-2010 (specs below), and would like to do so with minimum lag. I m aware Apple TV has a feature which allows me to do that, however considering it is connected via either wi-fi or bluetooth (not sure which) I feel streaming an HD movie or playing an MMO will cause significant lag and/or a distorted picture.
    So with that said, what is the best way to transfer video and audio with minimal lag?
    Also, as a part II of the question, will the picture be distorted regardless if my TV is 60 inches?
    Thanks for the feed back!
    Macbook Specs:
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

    The easiest and most reliable option is to connect your Mac to the TV wired. Just buy a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable to connect your MacBook to your TV. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241 Image and sound will appear on the TV automatically.
    If the adapter and cable are OK, you won't get the picture distorted. Your Mac will try to use the maximum resolution the GPU allows in order to adapt the picture to your TV. It may not support the maximum resolution of the TV, but picture won't be distorted

  • How can I import video and sound from my sony camcorder?

    I have just bought the mac.  I'm struggling to import video AND sound from my Sony DCR-SR87 hard disk handycam camcorder.  From what I've read already, I ended up purchasing and downloading Quicktime MPEG2, and used the Utility MPEG Component Lion from downloaded MPEG Streaming 1.9.3b6 to enable video and sound to play on the computer directly from the camcorder.  The problem is that when I import these clips using iphoto (it pops up when I connect the camcorder), the sound does not accompany the video onto the computer.  I've hit something of a brick wall and would really appreciate any help.

    OK, according to

  • How do you get 24/96 audio from macbook air?

    How do you get 24/96 audio out from macbook air?

    If your media source is limited to a DVD disk, then a DVD reader will somehow have to be employed to read that disk. Apple sells a Superdrive specifically designed for use with the MBA, but I've found that many others will work almost equally as well.
    Some DVD disks already contain a digital file suitable for play, when directly copied off the disk. However, for more traditional DVD movies, it will require an application to perform what is called "ripping", to convert and copy the DVD's contents to a file that can be moved and played off the disk. I have used an application called "Handbrake" with reasonable success.
    After ripping, you may need another application to convert it to a format specific to the media player you may choose to eventually use. e.g. to convert into a file that iTunes may import.

  • How can I transfer all my photos from macbook air to macbook pro? Thank you!

    HI
    How can I transfer my photos from Macbook air to my Macbook pro? Can I use something that exports all my photos. I have tried with an external disk, but I not so happy with it, because I would like to keep events and it looks like some are missing. Thank you

  • How to I import video AND audio from DVD ?

    I have been sent a DVD on a holiday from a friend. I want to edit this. When I try to import it into iMovie I can import the VTS0104.VOB file, but this gives me just the images and NO sound. How can I get the sound too?

    There is another way of importing DVD footage into iMovie 08 directly, without using any third party software, but you have to trick iMovie into thinking that it is not a DVD. I had hours of home video footage from my old 8 mm camcorder which i recorded on DVD's, and from here succesfully imported into iMovie. Both video and sound.
    Try this:
    1. Insert your DVD and quit DVD Player, when it pops up.
    2. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility). Select the DVD inserted, and click on "New Image" (on the toolbar). Save the disk image to a convenient location (eg. desktop).
    3. Mount the disk image -> Double click on the file, or select open with "DiskImageMounter")
    4. Open iMovie 08., .... and "Camera detected, scanning content ... " message will appear. Happy editing!
    I believe Apple does not advertise this iMovie feature, because of potential copyright issues, ... but importing from home made DVD's has nothing to do with it. I wish Apple will come to realize that, and make our life much easier. Certainly, there is a way to tell the difference between DRM protected and home made DVD's.
    Cheers!

  • How can i eject a bad cd from macbook air external drive?

    I have a Macbook Air and an external superdrive. On the mac keyboard doesn't have an eject button.. how to eject a bad cd?
    Thanks in advance!

    On the late 2010, there is an eject button. You might have a newer model. Either way:
    (1) Minimize any open programs you have up and running.
    (2) Drag the SuperDrive icon to the trashcan and it will eject    
    (3) If the icon isn't on the desktop, find it by opening finder and right-click select eject or drag it to the trashcan

  • How can I import video and photos from iphoto to imovie?

    Hi, I am having trouble importing media from iphoto into imove (imovie 10.5)
    I am using a macbook pro 13 inch, early 2013 running mavericks.
    I have created an event in imovies into which I would like to import both photos and videos from my iphoto library. However, when the import window opens, the list of options from where I can import has iphoto, but it is not clickable; I can not open it.
    I have successfully imported from iphoto in the recent past on the same computer, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
    Thanks for any suggestions

  • How can you use one NetStream to publish video and audio from another NetStream in AS3?

    Let's say one of your client programs in AS3 is able to receive live video and audio from a NetStream and play it on the screen.  How could you make it also take that video/audio stream that it's receiving, copy it over into another NetStream, and publish it elsewhere?  I need to know how to do with this regardless of whether RTMP, RTMFP, or some mixture is involved.  The reason why the stream needs to be relayed this way is a real long story, but it's necessary in this particular case. Thanks!

    RTMP is TCP, which has higher overhead and latency because it guarantees packets are delivered (handshaking, causing latency and overhead). It also doesn't allow you to share connections directly between clients forcing the server to do all the work.
    RTMFP uses UDP, which is a choice protocol for streaming video because it's the opposite. It's lossy which decreases latency and overhead from no retransmissions and most importantly (in some applications) allows you to connect directly from one Flash Player to another Flash Player (p2p) so the server overhead is dramatically reduced. The server is only required to negotiate the initial connection and then it's up to the clients to continue to facilitate that.
    How you code your one to many or many to many relationship broadcast network will be based entirely on which of those you choose.
    URLStream is very common to use in p2p. Here's an older Adobe article on p2p and an alternate quick old video tutorial (FP10) as a quick simple example of p2p over RTMFP you can view the source of.

  • How can I stream video from a P/DVR to my Mac

    Hi, How can I stream video from a Motorola dcx3400m P/DVR to my Mac? I have tried a Slingbox but the audio is out of sync witht the TV and it drives those watching on iPads or on the iMac in another room NUTS.
    Is it possible to use a TV tuner of some sort. I've looked at the eye TV thing but I live in Canada/USA region and the eye TV products all seem to be for Austrailia or the UK. The one product that might work is a DVR and I don't need to pay for that as I already have one.
    HELP!
    Jeff

    If your Mac has an audio input jack you can connect the output of a cassette machine to it (3.5mm stereo jack required). However many don't, so you will need a USB audio interface - Roland make a range. Alternatively you can buy cassette decks with a built in audio interface.
    You will need a program to record and edit the input: Audacity is free and is often bundled with USB-enabled players.

  • How can i stream video from mac os x 10 using roku to my tv?

    how can i stream video from mac os x 10 using roku to my tv?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X can't write in NTFS disks. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party app like Paragon for NTFS, being this application the best one to write in those disks.
    Another option is to format the external disk in FAT32 or exFAT on a PC, so you will be able to read and write in Macs and PCs without having to use third-party apps. Do it on a PC and copy the files of your external drive to the internal disk first
