How to get my macbook to connect to the Apple TV?

How to get my macbook to connect to the Apple TV in a strange apartment? I am housesitting for someone for a few months. They mentioned that i would be able to use their Apple TV to play stuff from my macbook. I am using their basic wifi in the apt, which works fine on my macbook and iphone, but see no Apple TV icon appearing on macbook screen, nor any connection happening. (nor is there anything connection w my iPhone). What gives? How can I establish a connection?

  • How do get airplay from my mac to the Apple TV

    Where can i find airplay on my Mac

    Howdy MiaDad,
    It sounds like you would like to use the Airplay feature from your mac to the Apple TV. I found this article for you to help you get that setup named:
    iTunes: Using AirPlay
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5922
    Enabling AirPlay from iTunes on your computer
    To use AirPlay Mirroring, you will need the following:
    iTunes 10.2 or later
    Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)
    AirPort Express
    Wi-Fi (802.11a/g/n) network
    To stream music or videos from your computer to an Apple TV or AirPort Express:
    Connect your computer and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Open iTunes.
    Locate and click the icon to the left of the iTunes LCD window.
    Select your Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers from the list of available devices that appears and begin playback.
    Note: The images of a TV screen or speaker next to each AirPlay device in the AirPlay menu indicate the type of media content you can stream to that device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Does anyone know how to get a movie to play on the apply TV that you rented?

    Does anyone out there know how to get a movie to play on the Apple TV that was rented through Apple TV?

    It's not going to show under purchases because it's a rental. You have to go into settings - iTunes - check for rental.
    Note: a rental will disappear once it's expired (after 24hrs or 48 hrs depending on location)

    Sorry, but what is a Kensington K9294? I can find no mention of that product ID on the web, not even on Kensington's site. Do you mean the K39294, the KeyFolio keyboard/case?

    Hi all,
    Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
    Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
    I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
    The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
    Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

  • HT5422 How to get an better screen-update? The view on the remote Mac is nearly static.

    How to get an better screen-update? The view on the remote Mac is nearly static.

    You can try reducing the bit depth of the screen image  via the slider in the upper-right of the Control window. If that doesn't help, you may just not have a sufficiently fast network connection to correctly handle the data transfer necessary. This is often the case if you're connecting across the Internet. What is your network speed between the administration system and the client?

  • I broke my iPhone 5 now using a 4 but don't know if or how to get my photos ect..from the 5 to the 4.can I do this and how plse help

    Restore the backup of your iPhone 5 to your iPhone 4.  It will contain your camera roll photos. 
    To do this, first make sure the iPhone 4 is running the same or higher version of iOS as your iPhone 5 was.  If it isn't, you'll need to update it first.  Then, to restore the iCloud backup, you'll have to begin by erasing the iPhone 4.  If you have any newer data on the iPhone 4 that is not contained in the iPhone 5 backup, you'll need to save that first.  When you're ready, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the set screens on the iPhone 4 and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompt, choosing the backup of your iPhone 5 to restore to.  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.

  • Why doesn't my MacBook finish connecting to the ISP? It is very slow to load graphics if it does connect.

    Why doesn't my MacBook finish connecting to the ISP? It is very slow to load graphics if it does connect. This happens with ethernet or wifi.

    Timothy ..
    Contanct your ISP for support but keep in mind, if your Mac is running v10.5.8 as your profile suggests, that is a very outdated OS X and you may have issues loading graphics at this point.
    If you are using Safari, empty the Safari cache then quit and relaunch Safari and try loading an image.
    And make sure there's enough free space on the disk to load images.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
    That will open the Get Info panel.
    Check Capacity and Available. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

  • How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections.    The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

    How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections?  The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

    The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it.  Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.)  It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
    You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad.  If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350.  Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.
