Apple tv as 2nd display??

With Apple TV can I use my tv as a separate display? - So I can watch anything that is on my computer screen - internet streams, DVDs, other audio/video programs???
Or is VGA the only way to get this?....

No. ATV is used for streaming content from iTunes or airplaying compatible content from an IOS device.
If you want to mirror your computer you will need to connect it directly.

  • Why have my videos stopped playing on my older Apple flat screen 2nd display ?

    Recently my videos , tv shows, etc.  have not been able to play on my older Apple flat screen 2nd display. I had been using the display to watch video on a second display while I work on my 2010 iMac. I thought standard defintion videos would be fine on the 2nd display. Now I get an error message telling me to move the itunes window to the main display (where they play fine but get in the way of  my work.

    Hi
    DVD-burners get's old
    If You burn more than three DVDs in a row without pause to let DVD-Laser cool down - they grow older faster or even over-feat and die. My get's 20-30 minutes to cool down.
    Free space on Start-Up hard disk - use to give problems - I never go under 25Gb free space when doing SD-Video and 4-5 times more if HD-material is used
    Material feed into iDVD - there are more and more codecs coming and iDVD is picky. Some it can back-engineer to a working form - others not. A while ago this was no problem but as Cameras evolves this gives more and more problems. I convert all my material into a few working codecs/file formats as
    • Video - AIC or streamingDV
    • Photos - only as .jpg (Never .bmp)
    • Audio - only .aiff (Never .mp3, .wma etc)
    Forced or Panic Halts - introduces small errors (most often into the application pref. file) and builds up a coming disaster. Trashing this from time to time prevent's this and make application run better.
    Just my spontaneous thoughts.

  • Flash problem w/Chrome some of us are having (OS X) may be an Apple problem w/2nd display/monitor

    My problem, which developed in last couple days, of Google Chrome freezing / not working on pages with Flash player, but Flash player working just fine in Safari and Firefox, on OS X, goes away when I disconnect 2nd monitor. Chrome devs seem to be working on a fix. See here for more: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=152525

    Unplugging my external monitor made the problem disappear on my laptop (2011 Macbook Pro). Now, if I open a new Flash-included page with my external monitor connected, the page still freezes. But if I disconnect the 2nd screen until the page and Flash are ready to go on just the laptop, I can plug the external monitor back in and then the page will continue to work.

  • MacBook 2nd display (mini-DVI-DVI (D)- VGA)?

    I am trying to hook up a second display to my MacBook. The problem is that I don't have a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, but I have a mini-DVI to DVI, and a DVI to VGA adapters. So I connected my Apple mini-DVI to DVI, to my DVI to VGA, and then to my 2nd display (NEC LCD1560NX). The notebook's image flips as i normally connect a second display, it auto-detects the 2nd screen and displays its correct name, but I do not get an image on my second display. It set to the right resolution and frequency.
    Any suggestions?

    go to system preferences -> display-> and mirror the displays, it should work on the second display, but the cons on the macbook is to work on the first display, the built in card may not support the second one, if thats the case i'm sorry i can't help it. you can also try to get a DVI/VGA splitter and see if that work, it works on standard integrated intel VGA models. good luck!

  • 2nd Display & iMac w/ 2 Different Sets of Content from Same iMac

    Can I do this?  (How can I do this?) I'd like to connect a second display to my iMac and use the iMac to generate content (like live feeds or video content from CNN.com) to play on the second display while I "work" on the iMac and its screen. Thus, each display have its own content--but the content is generated by the one iMac.  Could I use a HD tv as the second display?
    Thanks for your guidance.
    Bill

    Depends on the iMac, but some of them do support this.
    Look yours up at  http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html  and look for the section about displays and 2nd display support under your model.
    With the second display connected to the appropriate port, you use your Displays System Preferences to configure them. If you choose "mirror" both displays show the same thing. If you choose to not mirror, you can have an "extended desktop where you can place different windows on different monitors and do exactly what you want to do. AN HD TV might be usable but you have to look up what your iMac can handle in terms of pixels and resolution and compare that to your HD TV specs. You can certainly buy inexpensive monitors to use if your HD TV is compatible.

    Problems facing....
    My cinema HD is set to primary display and Cinema as 2nd display. Everything was working fine but suddenly my 2nd display stopped working. It remains black as if its in sleep mood. The small power led light on the monitor is On(not blinking). In Graphics/Displays shows both monitors are connected. I can drag any window to the 2nd display as if its working but its still black. In display preferences it shows both monitor on arrangement section. I can even change the resolution size of both monitors.
    My cinema display monitor has no problem. I have checked it already. I have swapped the DVI ports at the back of my cpu but it seems only the 2nd port is giving this problem. As if no matter what my 2nd port of graphics card is on sleep mood. I have taken it to our local apple center and both ports were working fine there, the only difference is they checked it using none apple lcd monitor. But when I brought it back to office, it had the same problem again. The strange thing is....one day while I was working the 2nd display suddenly appeared but when I restarted my mac, it went back to the same problem. Till now my 2nd display not showing anymore. I have reinstalled to new OSx but the problem remains. So can anyone pls tell me how I can solve this problem.
    thanks
    <Edited by Host>

    only the 2nd port is giving this problem
    You have an older card, and the second port is flaky. The problem follows the port.
    I am sorry to be so blunt, but the problem is YOU.
    No one wants to be the one to club you on the head and point out that your card is dying, and you are going to have to get a new(er) one. There is no "quick fix" for dying Hardware, and no fix at all for you when you will not connect the dots and realize your card is on its last legs.
    If running 10.6.4 or later, you can install the 5770 and it will work, but not at quite the advertised speeds if your slot will only go up to 8x.

  • 2nd Display of macbook

    I've read a few things about the subject but never had a clear anwser. I've read that the maximum resolution for the 2nd display of the macbook is 1920X1200. Doesn't help me if I plan to buy a 19'' inches with a maximum of 1440 X 900. I want to use the 19'' to expend my desktop. Will it work properly (without distortion)
    If you have any infos about that thank you for your answer

    1440x900 is less than the MacBook's maximum resolution of 1920x1200. That means it'll work just fine as a second display at its full resolution. You just can't run a display that's larger than 1920x1200, such as Apple's 30" Cinema Display. But the 23", for example, will work fine, as will anything smaller.

  • 2nd display connected to iMac stays black (Thunderbolt - HDMI)

    Hi everyone,
    with my new iMac (purchased 2 weeks ago) I have the problem that my 2nd display will stay black after I connected it to the Thunderbolt port. The display shows the blue background for a split second, then i goes black (and stays that way). I find the following lines in the log file:

    The display is an AOC e2343F2, with two HDMI and one VGA port. I am using a Mini-Displayport to HDMI cable to connect the display. This worked with my Mac Pro (from 2006, AMD Radeon HD5770) without a problem.
    Is this a problem with the in 10.7.x included drivers?
    With the new Thunderbolt port?
    I tried it with 10.7.2 and 10.7.3 on the iMac and the Mac Pro. It works like a charm on the Mac Pro, but not on the iMac. Do I need to buy the overpriced Apple adapter and can't use my adapter cable anymore?

    Just a theory.  Looking at the log errors you showed the system cannot get the display bounds.  My theory is that the display is not able to pass the EDID (extended display identification data) through a TB port.  While your 5770 could handle it the TB can't.  Again, it's just my theory.
    Another thing to check is your Displays system preferences.  See if the Display is showing in the Arrangement tab.  If so click Detect Displays and also Gather Windows to bring the second monitor's Displays preferences on to your main monitor.  If you get this far then set the appropriate resolution and refresh rate (if refresh rate is shown).
    If there is no Displays Arrangement tab then the system doesn't even know the second monitor is connected.  I don't have a solution for this problem since I don't have TB.   Although the resolution is not as good you may have to try a VGA adapter for that monitor.  No guarantees that will work either of course.

  • 2nd Display has fast motion jitters . . .

    I have a Dual 3.2GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro with 8GB RAM. I had the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT now have the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 and am getting the same issue with both. I have dual 30" displays setup as extended desktop. The primary display works fine but if I move a window on the 2nd display, it's really jerky, almost like the card is having a difficult time keeping up but that can't be it. Any thoughts?

    Went to the genius bar in london and they weren't sure about why this was happening. They suspected it was caused by a software update to OS10.4, and recommended rolling it back by reinstalling the original OS from disc. (Perhaps someone sitting in America was unaware of Europe's PAL tv refresh rate...) Unfortunately my discs are currently in a port in Brasil waiting to be shipped home with all my other stuff, so I'll have a wait a month or so to try. If anyone at Apple is reading, can you check this out?

  • 2nd Display not working on iMAC

              I have a 2nd display that has recently stopped working with my iMAC - I had issues with the second monitor before I upgraded to 10.9 - then the problems went away ... had a bad storm one night and power flickered on / off.  And can't get it to work since.  I know the monitor / cord is good because i have an Mac Air and I plug it in and it comes right up and works great.  I cleared the system log - unplugged and replugged the monitor in.. i don't see any errors in the system log..  can anyone see what is wrong? I cleared the log and put a marker on each side of the output.. I looks to me to see it - it say display added then right after that display removed..

    You can attempt to use Apple Hardware Test, if you do run it in Extended Mode 2-3 times. It's not the most reliable test however if it does locate an error that confirms you have a hardware fault that needs to be fixed. The ONLY alternative is to take it in for service. However IMHO I'd take it in to an Apple Store or AASP anyway, because A) AHT is not that reliable and B) even if it does find something that means you have to take it in.

  • 2nd Display LED won't turn off

    I have a G5 with 2 23" Apple Displays connected to the Radeon 9600 video card. All is working well, but on shutdown the LED on 2nd Display (DVI-2 outlet on card) refuses to go off! If I unplug power supply then connect it back immediately the light will go off, but I see no reason why I would need to do this every time. Discussed with tech support 3 times, the 2nd time in parts were replaced, each time I get it back the same thing still happens. A new video card from Apple did not solve the problem either. Is the video card unable on shutdown to control both displays?? Any suggestions?

    By the way, I own Dual 20" and I have run into this before. It took me a while to figure out that the problem goes away when the USB is connected. Before I figured it out, it was driving me crazy too.

  • ADC from vid card to a VGA 2nd display, out of stock?

    We have an old quicksilver G4 800 mhz tower that a co-worker wants to have a 2nd display attached to. The card has 2 outputs, a VGA and an ADC. About a year ago, I went to our local Apple Reseller (not an apple store) and bought a ADC to VGA adaptor for 30 bucks (for another machine in use). It was by Dr. Bott. There is nothing on their website now. Dr. Bott service stated that Apple had something to do with the discontinued status? Locked down their technology?
    Some site show any ADC to VGA adaptor discontinued.
    What is up?
    Alternatives? Should I just get a new cheap graphics card? or are there ther alternatives. Yes, this is old technology, and we will get new computers, but we will have this machine a few more years...
    Thanks for any help
    Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Apple did not try to stop others from using ADC. They made it an open standard, but few other manufacturers used it. Formac did make a LCD display with ADC. Most display makers didn't want to make models that would only work with a Mac, even though it would be cheaper (no power supply needed). Other computer makers didn't use it because they would need bigger power supplies (Apple made a CRT with ADC that needed 113 watts), adapters would be needed for most displays, and they would need special graphics cards. Because of lack of demand from other computer makers, no graphics card maker made any ADC cards for non-Apple computers.
    Apple dropped AC for several reasons:
    Multiple displays were being used more, and there was only one ADC per computer. DVI to ADC adapters are expensive and messy.
    They wanted to sell their displays to non-Mac users.
    Bigger displays needed more power (30" needs 150 watts)
    With their main customer gone, the connector maker dropped the connectors, so adapter makers have no more parts for the adapters. Adapters are now scarce and expensive, but it's not Apple's fault.
    There are still a few ADC to VGA adapters for sale:

    If the Quicksilver is the earlier (2001) model, such as the dual 800 Mhz, the adapter won't be useful with any of the graphic cards that originally came with it. It will work with 2002 Quicksilvers, such as the single 800MHz.

  • What do I need to setup a 2nd display?

    I went from a Mac Mini to an iMac 5K. The Mac Mini display was also my TV. Still using it as my TV, but would like to know what I'd need to connect it to the iMac 5K as a 2nd display. Also, by doing so, would I still be able to easily switch it from 2nd display to TV?

    Do you recommend a certain brand Mini-display port to HDMI adapter? I looked on the Apple store page as well as Amazon. The reviews of the ones I looked at weren't great. They all seem to either be defective or die within a year.

  • How i can present my keynote in 2nd display?

    i wnat to present my keynote in 2nd display. how i can do it? i try to do, but it's always show in 1st display (my macbook). i want it to show on projecter!!!

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the projector your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on the projector you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.
