AirPlay Mirroring needs an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your computer supports AirPlay Mirroring. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion

    I have a second generation I Pod touch.  How do I know which games I can download from the Apple Store?

    Hello, Suzanne. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Unfortunately there isn't a list available at this time for applications that are specific for your iOS/Software version.  However, once you know which iOS/Software version you have installed, you can browser various applications and look for ones that meet your system requirements.  I have included a screenshot below on how to look for this information.

  • How can i use airplay with apple tv on a set of audio speakers?

    hello there,
    i've got a problem with my stereo apple tv combination.
    my TV does support HDMI so i can use my apple tv on my HDTV. only my audio is being played on my internal speakers of my HDTV. I do have a set of speakers. but it doesn't support optical audio out. so i was wondering if its possible to use an Airport Express en plug my speakers in there. then wirelessly send the audio from my apple tv to my Airport/speakers. do any of you think that thats possible?? cause i really can't find another way to transfer my audio to my speakers...
    Thanks alot!!

    Unfortunately you can't send audio from the Apple TV to an airport express, but you can send audio from your mac/pc to the airport express via iTunes/Airplay, you could also send audio from an iPod/iPhone to the express. The express supports both optical and 3.5 mm in a unified port.

  • Losing WiFI on MacBook when using AirPlay to Apple TV

    When I use AirPlay to 'Extend Desktop' from my 2014 MacBook Pro to my Apple TV, about two thirds of the time my MBP will lose its WiFI connection to my Airport Extreme.  So AirPlay and Extend Desktop works fine, but my MacBook no longer has access to the Internet.  The WiFi signal strength icon on the MBP menubar just goes grey.  If I click on the menubar icon, it just says "Wi-Fi: AirPlay" rather than the name of my network.
    It's like AirPlay just takes over my WiFi connection to connect my MBP to my Apple TV, forcing out the WiFI connection to my base station.  But again, one third of the time my MBP will remain connected to the WiFi and the Internet when using AirPlay.  And other devices, like my iPad, always remained connected to the Extreme and can access the Internet. 
    I've been scouring the Internet looking for solutions or even other people having this issue, but no luck so far.  Thought I'd ask here to see if anybody had any suggestions.

    Finally got a chance to test this out. Saddly enough, it didn't work.
    I deleted the movie from iTunes (no hard delete), then added it again. Same problem :-/
    And yes, they are all saved in the same location (Movies folder).
    Any other suggestions???

  • How do i know if my macbook was set up with 'find my mac' if i do not have the laptop?

    It was not. You have to do that yourself.

  • Is there any way that I can use airplay and Apple TV non mirroring, similar to what you can do with a projector and use it as a second monitor/screen?

    I am trying airplay one thing from my computer to my apple tv, but at the same time work on something else on my actual computer screen.
    Such as airplay a movie to the apple tv but use my computer to work on something else.
    Is this possible/will this in future updates.

    That was a new feature added with Mavericks (OS X 10.9).

  • How do I know what programs I can quit in the activity monitor?

    I use a macbook 13in and run lion.  Last night, I checked out the actiivty monitor and there were programs/files(?) I didn't recognize.  I understand that some of these are important and quitting them may cause problems.  How do I know what programs I can quit?  Thanks for the help!

    HellO:
    IMHO, you should not quit anything.  In fact, looking at the activity monitor if nothing is wrong is, IMHO, a waste of time.

  • How do I know if my macbook air is being backed up in my icloud account

    How do I know if my macbook air is being backed up in my icloud account

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I'm sure that your Mac isn't being backed up on iCloud, because Macs can't be backed up on iCloud (that's for iPhones, iPods touch and iPads).
    If you want to check what's using your iCloud storage, open System Preferences > iCloud > Manage

  • We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6.  Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

    We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6?  Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

    We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs.  When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS.  Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP,   VTS_01-0.BUP,   VTS_01_0.IFO,  VTS-01_1.VOB,   VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  Where is DVDxDV?

  • How do you know when your MacBook is infected?

    Hey All. Well my question is how do you know when your MacBook is infected with a virus? I came off windows and i have norton antivirus so i have something to tell me there. But on the Mac OS you rarely get viruses and i dont have a anitvirus program, so how do you know when you have one? And what does it do?
    Thanks!

    Since no ones got one that I know of it is hard to say. I figure that when the day comes that someone writes a Mac virus you will know real quick what happens. If your concerned you could use ClamXav. I use it if I download something for my wife's PC but have never found anything yet.
