Am I able to mirror a MBP screen to the tv using a 2nd gen apple tv?

i am going to buy a mpb or a mba, i don't know yet, but i was wondering if i would be able to buy an apple tv, and mirror the screen to of the macbook to it

No, that is not a function of the Apple TV. You can stream video and music from your iTunes library on the Mac to the Apple TV for watvhing or listening to the content with the TV the Apple TV is connected to, but not for mirroring the computer.

How can I mirror my macbook screen to the Apple TV through wifi?

I cannot seem to be able to mirror my macbook screen via wifi to the Apple TV. It only works with my iPad 2. Is there a solution now or in the future?

You can't. And the lag/delay would be so bad that it could be large. But I'd take your question to the AppleTV forum to see if someone has a solution. But the bigger question is, why???? Just mirror the MacBook directly to the TV?

Bob,
Just to confirm you have a macbook air right? If so and it is mid 2011 or later running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or newer you can mirror it. If home sharing is on and ATV and MBA are on same id and network you should get the airplay icon near the clock on the mac and that should mirror your screen.
If you have an older mac or pc a third party app called airparrot can do it for you.

I have a 2010 MBP and a 2nd gen apple TV. How do I get them to mirror with Mavericks is possible at all?

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro and what I think is the 2nd Gen Apple TV( its the black one that does 720 not 1080p). I have recently installed Mavericks on my MBP, but I do not see the morrior option or any airplay option at all.
Is this a limitation on my MBP due to age, is it the Apple TV, or am I just missing something do stupidly obvious I will be embarassed?
Thank you for your time.

How can I mirror my macbook screen to the Apple TV through wifi?r

I have not been able to mirror my macbook's screen to the Apple TV through the wifi. I want to do that in the classroom for more mobility of the notebook for student use. This is because I'm trying to use iPads and Macbooks in the classroom for presentations by students and the teacher directly to the TV. Is the Apple TV the best bet?

If you are desparate, I was able to get a remote-desktop client to show my Mac's screen on my iPad, and then display that to my TV via AppleTV 2 over wifi. While it worked, it was rather slow on screen updating--you'd never be able to watch a movie for instance.

Can I mirror my computer screen on my iPhone using a cable?

Is there a way to mirror my MacBook Pro's screen on my iPhone using a cable? I know there's VNC and Splashtop, but I'm looking for a solution with zero latency, as I'm making an Oculus Rift clone. I have seen this done once before but I'm not sure how, or if he was even doing what I think me has.

You'll need one of these. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?afid=p2 19%7CGOUS&cid=AOS-US-KWG-PLA

Windows 8.1 Spring Update Closing App takes user to Start Screen not the previously used App

I have recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 Spring Update on my surface Pro 2 and notice that when I close out apps it goes to the start screen instead of the previously used app as MS suggest it should.
I am using the same media to install on a laptop and it works as expected, the surface pro 2 does not.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Boots to Start Screen -
Works
Closing App takes user to the previously used App.
Does not work
Pictures, Music and Video files open with Modern App -
Works.

You won't see the power button on the Start Screen on any tablet that uses Connected Standby (aka InstantGo) - it's by Microsoft's design. So you will be running Update 1 if you are being told that all updates are installed.

Hello herbnmyth,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I see that you are having difficulties with connecting the Apple TV with your computer. The following article provides information for troubleshooting Home Sharing and should help you sort the connections.

TS4036 I have just been to a Apple and they have given me a new Ipod touch 16G to replace my old one due to a smashed screen. The assistant gave me a new apple email address and then backed it up to the new icloud account. I cant get my data back

I have a new Ipod touch but I have no idea how to retrieve the old data from my icloud??

Sign out of your "new" account, then sign into your old one.

MBP: which is the best use of batteries if I use the Mac all the day?

Hi guys
I did this question and I've received only one answer, that the better way is to have the magsafe plugged in all day and twice a month let the batteries discharge all and may some times during the month use the battery for a few our. this has been my use of pc. any another advice? do you agree with that one I receivde?

Rechargeable lithium-based technology currently provides the best performance for your Apple notebook computer, iPod, iPhone, or iPad. You can also find this standard battery technology in many other devices. Apple batteries share the characteristics common to lithium-based technology in other devices. Like other rechargeable batteries, these batteries may eventually require replacement.
Standard Technology
Lithium-ion polymer batteries pack in a higher power density than nickel-based batteries. This gives you a longer battery life in a lighter package, as lithium is the lightest metal. You can also recharge a lithium-ion polymer battery whenever convenient, without the full charge or discharge cycle necessary to keep nickel-based batteries at peak performance. (Over time, crystals build up in nickel-based batteries and prevent you from charging them completely, necessitating an inconvenient full discharge.)
Standard Charging
Most lithium-ion polymer batteries use a fast charge to charge your device to 80% battery capacity, then switch to trickle charging. That’s about two hours of charge time to power an iPod to 80% capacity, then another two hours to fully charge it, if you are not using the iPod while charging. You can charge all lithium-ion batteries a large but finite number of times, as defined by charge cycle.
Charge Cycle. Using and recharging 100% of battery capacity equals one full charge cycle.
A charge cycle means using all of the battery’s power, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could listen to your iPod for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put notebook, iPod, and iPhone batteries through many charge cycles before they will only hold 80% of original battery capacity. As with other rechargeable batteries, you may eventually need to replace your battery.

When I connect my Macbook air to my TV, using a Mini Display Port/HDMl adaptor and an HDMl cable, the only thing that appears on the TV screen is the Air's background screen,

When I connect my Macbook Air to my TV via the thunderbolt outlet and using a Mini Display Port/HDMl adaptor, the only image that appears on the TV screen is that of my Air background. There is obviously a signal getting through to the TV, but it is not sending images of anything else, and am unable to watch video through my Air. Any advise/suggestions?

This is called "extended desktop mode". It's an extension of the desktop off to the right (by default) of your MBair screen. Grab an app and drag it off the right side of your MBair screen and it will appear on the TV.
To mirror your MBair screen on the TV you can press Command F1. This will toogle between mirror and extended desktop.
You can find all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.
Regards,
Captfred
