Apple TV and a 2007 Macbook

I have a late 2007 macbook with Mountain Lion installed as the OS. Can I connect Apple TV to this device? My iphone and ipad connect just fine, but I can't get the macbook to connect. Any help is appreciated.

A 2007 MacBook won't run Mountain Lion.
The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

My wife and I each have an apple ID and share one macbook pro. Is it possible to use the iCloud on our shared macbook pro and our two separate iPhone 5's and not get each others information confused?

The ability to use AirPlay is BOTH an OS requirement(Mountain Lion) AND has hardware requirements. You need to check and see if your 2010 Air will support Airplay.

Play video from apple tv and audio from macbook , its possible, please ?

play video from apple tv and audio from macbook , its possible, please ?
because i dont have airport and i have a micro plugged to my speakers

If you mean "can I play a video file's video part via AppleTV and the audio part via the Macbook" then the answer is no.
You could probably play the video on AppleTv and also play it on the Macbook and output the audio, but you would have to do this manually, and 2 applications accessing the same video file might cause stuttering playback issues. Additionally you'd have to manually sync the audio and lip sync problems are annoying at the best of times.
If you mean "can I watch a video from AppleTV and play separate music via iTunes on the Macbook", then the answer is yes.

Streaming content to Apple TV from Late 2007 MacBook Pro without AirPlay

What is the method of streaming content to a third-generation Apple TV from a late 2007 MacBook Pro? This Mac doesn't support AirPlay.
If this feature is not supported by Apple, what are some third-party options?

MacBook Pro will not start up - apple logo and spinnining wheel

*The problem:*
I have a MacBook Pro bought in October 2009 and have had no problems with it up until now. When I went to turn my Macbook on the other day all I got was the initial grey screen with the apple logo and a spinning wheel. The wheel keeps spinning and never loads up my Mac. The battery is charged, I've not just downloaded/installed new soft/hardware, and I'm using the adaptor that came with the MacBook Pro when I purchased it.
*Stuff I've tried so far:*
I've read the forums/manual and have tried the following:
1. Reset the SMC - no effect
2. Reset the PRAM - no effect
3. Opened the MacBook Pro in safe mode - gets two thirds the way through the loading screen and then sops i.e. no effect
4. Done a hardware test - reported no problems
5. Started up my Mac with the original install DVD inserted into the CD drive, and performed a repair in disc utility - says there is a fault in the volume information and then repairs it at the end. Then I run it again and it says there's a fault in the volume information. It doesn't happen how many times I run the repair, it never fixes it.
6. Tried to reinstall the original disc but it cannot find the hard drive.
7. Tried to reboot but it cannot find the hard drive.
Next:
The only thing I have not yet tried is reformatting the drive. I have not tried this yet as I foolishly did not make a time machine (I didn't have an external hard drive) and I've not backed up my work for several months.
I have two questions:
1. Before I reformat, is there any way I can get documents off the system? I expect the answer is no but I wanted to check first.
2. Is the reformat fails for whatever reason, what is likely to happen next? I intend to book a genius appointment but wondered if people had had a similar experience in the past? How long did re-servicing take? The Mac is still under the three year warranty but I am likely to have to pay anything?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello!
Good news: Today I visited the next apple partner and took my macbook with me. He checked my mac with the software "DiskWarrior" which reported three problems which could be solved with this software. Afterwards we tried to restart the macbook - no effort.
He told me, that in a probability of 90% it would be a software problem and it could be solved with re-installing the mac os X software with inserting the original disc, pushing the button "C" shortly after pushing the power-button and simply reinstalling the OS X.
It worked and as it seems no data got lost.
The mac partner dude told me that this software problem can be caused by shutting down the mac one time too much with pushing down the powerbutton more than 5 seconds when everythings freezes...
As I write from my macbook again, I proudly announce that I'm back on mac.
I used windows while having these problems; it sucked
Sincerely, aftermathentertainment
PS: What have I learnt from this: Use TimeMachine!

How can I transfer photos from Apple TV to a new MacBook Pro? I have My Photo Stream turned on for both.

I have a new McBook Pro with OS X Mavericks. I transferred my photos from my old MacBook Pro to my Apple TV. I turned on My Photo Stream on both my Apple TV and my new MacBook Pro, and I want to transfer my photos to my new MacBook. Will this work? It's not transferring them automatically, but I don't know what else I need to do to make it work. Thank you!

no you can't only option is to take it apart and put the harddisk in an usb ext harddisk case and connect it to the computer copy the photos to the computer
take the harddisk out of the ext usb harddisk case and put it back into the appletv and assemble it again

Can I use a 2009 iMac as external display for 2007 macbook pro with DVI port only

I have a late 2009 imac with minidisplay port and a 2007 macbook pro with DVI port. I connected a mini diaplay port to DVI cable but all I get on the imac is a blank screen when I press F2. Can I use the imac this way?

I'm not sure if it works with DVI but your late 2009 must be a 27". Try Command-F2 or Copmmand-Fn-F2

Have no idea what you are asking about. What hardware issue? What does a USB and a 2007 MacBook Pro have to do with it?

Music and photos transferred into itunes and iphoto from external hard drive on to my new hard drive installed in my 2007 macbook

I just installed a new 250 GB SATA hard drive on to my 2007 macbook computer as the old one failed. I had backed up my old hard drive on to a 250 GB external hard drive using time machine via a USB cord. I am having trouble locating my music and photo files to transfer them into itunes and iphoto on my new hard drive. I have signed in to my itunes account, where it shows my app and book purchases, but not my music purchases. I have over 1,000 songs purchased. Any help would be appreciated- Thanks!

Hi aourada,
Since you have a current Time Machine backup of your computer you should be able to use the Migration Assistant to recover your music and photos.

Alternatively, if your music was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can re-download available songs for free.

Late 2007 MacBook Pro 17" lost all sound and gets hot!!

So my late 2007 17" MacBook Pro has been acting up. Not only has it been slow but also...
1. It gets really hot! Fans running at 6000 rpm according to IStat Pro and fan control is not helping.
2. It crashes. Every time I try to edit video or do photoshop, the fans start blowing, it gets hot, freezes and crashes very quickly.
3. All my sound is gone. I get the Apple chime when I start it up, but my music and any video online gives me no sound.
4. Once in a while I get a distorted line across my screen.
Any ideas what could be my problem? I downloaded SMART Utility and it told me my hard drive is failing. So I'm in the midst of replacing it. However I doubt that will solve all my problems. Or will it?
I also discovered that one way to regain the sound I would just have to reset my PRAM, which I did and it didn't solve anything. Therefore I found that it could be that my logic board backup battery is dead? How do I know for sure?
Any other thoughts?

When I read "crash," "distorted line across my screen," "it gets really hot," and "2007 17" MacBook Pro," the first thing that comes to mind is logic/graphics board. Visit your local Apple Store, and see if they can validate this suspicion or not. The SMART utility reading usually precedes a drive failure, but it's hard to conclude what's happening here.
In the meantime, make sure you're completely backed up. If you don't back up, purchase an external HD, and back up with SuperDuper. Preserve your machine by running things at lower temperatures (under 160•F), and keep an eye on iStat.
Oh, and tell us the problem when you know.
