Looking at using apple TV to assist with photo editing on my MB Pro, is this a good idea?

I have a mac book pro 13 (2011) I am looking at using the Apple TV to display my MBP to my TV for photo editing, anyone able to let me know if they either have done this before, good or bad, or if you think it would work if you have not tried it yourself. Will also be using it for TV etc not just editing.
Thank you in advance.
Currently have Lightroom 5 and PS CC for editing etc.

So you plan to mirror the MBP's display via the Apple TV to your TV and edit off that image?
Right off the bat I can see problems with color calibration between the MBP's display and the TV. I edit in Aperture and while the images when displayed on my TV vi Apple TV look ok they are not exactly the same as they appear on the iMac.
So I guess it depends on what you plan to do with the images once you have edited them. Is there any printing involved? That brings in another whole layer of complexity.
For sharing on the web and with family and friends it should be Ok, for anything more professional you'll need to get everything calibrated.
regards

I want to use a fantom diamond as an external hard drive for my mac, is this a good idea?

Using a Macbook pro, with Snow Leopard (I think), and my memory is full so I want to store my stuff on an external hard drive. I found a 2T Fantom Diamond EHD, but I'm now learning that I have to convert to NTFS-3g. I'm not computer savy so I want to know if this is a good idea, or should I look for something different. Also, can I set up the EHD as the default path for itunes?

This is not the forum for MacBook Pro owners.
You just need to reformat the drive in Disk Utility and erase the drive and have Mac HFS.
If you did need to use NTFS then you would not want -3G but Paragon NTFS for OS X x. 10.0
Or buy something that isn't pre-formatted to Windows NT file system.
First though make sure you have backups of your system. TimeMachine being used now?

Maybe cleanout some files you don't need.
Install a larger notebook hard drive even.
http://www.macsales.com/firewire has a lot of choice in Mac compatible drives and enclosures so you don't need to worry about Fantom not working at some point.

Creative Cloud Issue After Using Apple's Migration Assistant

I bought a new Mac and used Apple's Migration assistant to transfer everything from the old Mac to the new. Everything works with all apps except Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud states that some files are missing and prompts me to download and install Creative Cloud again. I do that and run the App. The app runs for a minute, acts like it's installing than I get the same error -- Creative Cloud is missing some files or some files are corrupt, please download and reinstall -- it brings me to the webpage to download it again. I'm stuck in this infinite loop!
The old Mac where Creative Cloud runs fine is a 15" Retina Display MacBook Pro. The new Mac is a 27" iMac.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Uninstall, run the cleaner, and install fresh

THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

You should always have your apps on your computer. If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
Sorry.
Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

I have been using Aperture 3.3.2 with Mac OS-X 10.7.5. This version doesn't support RAW with Nikon D7100, I decided to upgrade to 3.4. On downloading, it tells me that to upgrade, I need Aperture Vers.3! which I have. What to do??

Have you moved or renamed your Aperture 3 version? If it is not installed in the "Applications" folder or not named simply "Aperture", then Software Update will not recognize it.
Put Aperture back and "Software Update" should find your version.

Can I use Apple Volume Purchasing Codes with Apple Profile Manager?

I am using Apple Profile Manager (on OS X 10.8) to manage some iOS devices. I would like to be able to push apps to users using Profile Manager, however, I cannot seem to find a way to import an Apple Volume Purchasing Program redemption code spreadsheet. Basically, I am looking for a way to deploy apps to the devices without the users having to purchase them using their own Apple ID's. I've done some research, and I have determined that this funcationality seems to be included in Apple Configurator. I am wondering if I can do the same thing in Profile Manager. I would rather not have to change my MDM solution, if at all possible. Thanks in advance, I appreciate it.

Hey JTShelatz,
just push you Apps with Profileservice. But just the amount of purchased licences .
Thats how I understood Apples VPP deployment strategy.

Can I use Apple TV (version 3 with IOS 5.1) Airplay to simultaneously to stream audio to another Apple TV without using itunes on my PC?

I have 2 Apple TV's version 3 with IOS 5.1 and would like them both to play the same music through Match simultaneousy but without having to use iTunes on my PC.
It seems I can only select one of them at a time for audio output, is there a way to make them both play at the same time?

My main concerns are:
-If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
-If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
-Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
Data will travel:
NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.
