Apple TV new- can I do Airplay from Macbook?

I have a new AppleTV.
I can send a few things (like from iTunes) to the AppleTV, but can't play a video from my MacBook over the AppleTV (like I can with my iPad).
How can I do that?
Opps, looks like I already asked this.
But if anyone has new answers...

yes i can do that but dont want a wire between me and tv i wont need on with the ipad 2 when ios 5 comes out
AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2
Wow your audience in the board room, classroom or living room. AirPlay now supports video mirroring. Which means you can wirelessly — and securely — stream whatever’s on your iPad 2 to your HDTV via Apple TV. Everyone in the room sees exactly what’s on your iPad display up there on the big screen — even when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out on photos.2

No, AirPlay is for Apple TV. You can turn on home share on your MacBook and iPad so you can stream to your iPad.

Can't merge two apple IDs and can't download purchases from both onto the same iMac

Some time ago I discovered that I had inadvertently created two apple IDs. One that I had used many years ago as a student and then the other I created when I bought my first iPhone. These days I only use the newer account I created however I still own a few songs which were purchased on the older account back when I was a student. SO recently I logged into the older account to get those old songs that I'd purchased and download them onto my work iMac - GREAT! ...Right up until I wanted to now download some newer songs I'd recently purchased directly onto my iPhone using the new account - UH-OH! NOPE! I'm not allowed to download those songs for 90 days! Are you frickin kidding me?! They're both MY accounts! They're both linked to me - use the same details, same address, same credit card, same everything else!!! But apple won't let me download songs that I now own for 3 months onto my iMac because I happen to have two accounts. This is insanely ridiculous! I would happilly merge the two accounts if it was possible but of course there is no way to do this either. I understand that the intention is to stop people from sharing songs by linking to a friends apple ID and downloading their songs, however I am in no way trying to do this. I just want to have access to all the songs that I own on all my machines. I want to listen to songs that I have legitimately purchased on my work machine as well as on my iPhone, my iPad and my home iMac. Surely this is not too much to ask? C'mon apple!! Can't you find a way to either link/merge my two accounts or to verify that they both belong to the same person so I don't run into this problem? I don't think I should have to wait 3 months to get access to songs I have purchased!

1. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.
2. Use the Transfer Purchases function to import them from the iOS devices, and manually move the iTunes libraries between the computers.

Can I use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when connected to an AirPort via LAN cable?

Well as stated above I'm wondering if I can use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when my PC is connected via LAN cable to an AirPort.
I'm asking because usually your PC has to be on the same Wifi as your other Apple device, so AirPlay can function, and id love the ability to Stream via AirPlay but still be connected to the internet via LAN cable.
Thanks in advance for any help!

AirPlay is not restricted to wireless only. It can also work over Ethernet. Basically as long as there is a connection (on the same subnet) between the iTunes host and the AirPlay "speaker" streaming should take place without any issues.
FWIW, My Win8 PC is connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet. In turn my Apple TV is connected to the TC's wireless network. I have no trouble streaming from the PC to the Apple TV in this configuration.

Apple TV update 7.03 brakes Airplay from IOS 8 device

Our Apple TV worked fine prior the latest update.
- after 7.03 it works fine from MacBook 10.10.2
- IOS device: you can see and select, but Airplay does not happen.
Suggestions?
Tried iPhone and iPad.

I'm having an issue with my AppleTV's not even showing up on any iOS device's AirPlay menu. The iOS device and the AppleTV/s are on the same network, the network is functioning and I can see that the AppleTV's are present on the network. But no matter what I do, I can't get the AppleTV to show up as being selectable for AirPlay. This problem has only started after I upgraded to 7.0.2. I was hoping 7.0.3 did something to resolve this but the issue remains the same. This has made all of my AppleTV's running 7.0.2 and above un-usable.
Meanwhile, my older 2nd gen AppleTV's running 6.1.2 are still working perfectly. What can I do about this? I've factory restored the device/s many times to no avail. I have (of course) restarted the AppleTV's and have also tried using ethernet but that doesn't work either. Unfortunately most of my classrooms using AppleTV don't have ethernet connections available so we have to rely on the WIFI.
What other solution is there? No network changes have been made that could specifically relate to this to my knowledge - and again, AppleTV's running 6.1.2 work fine. Unless something has changed on the networking side of the coin with the 7.X.X firmware? I can't find a changelog that specifically addresses what bugs are fixed (if any) or changes made. Desperate for a solution here.

How many apple tv devices can stream personal videos from a single iTunes library

I'm doing some initial investigation on the matter and I've not been able to get a definitive answer to this question...
Is there a limit to the number of Apple TVs that can stream videos from the same iTunes library, and if so, what is the limit?
I'm not talking about content purchased over iTunes, I'm thinking exclusively homemade video content encoded in the appropriate video format for use with iTunes.

disregarding the bandwidth limitations, is there a limit to the number of devices one could use for this? If I understand this correctly, the device limit only applies to iTunes content, and not so much a personal (non-iTunes store purchased content) library.

AirPlay from MacBook Pro to an iPad?

Can AirPlay be used to mirror a MacBook Pro (OS X10.9.3) to an iPad running iOS 7.1?
The support material from Apple (and most of the community discussions) concern getting Airplay from a Mac computer or iOS device to run to an Apple TV.
But there are some support/discussion elements that also suggest it would be possible to do mirroring from a computer to an iOS device.
FYI - I don't have an Apple TV. And the Airplay icon does not appear in the Control Panel of my iPad. My MacBook Pro Display Settings shows the capacity for AirPlay display, but does not detect any devices. I've not installed any third party "air" mirroring applications.

Hello 25th Floor,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you're wanting to AirPlay from a Mac to an iOS device. AirPlay mirroring from your Mac is designed to only function with an Apple TV. Please see the following article for what is required to use AirPlay Mirroring in OS X.
Requirements for AirPlay in OS X
An Apple TV
Apple TV (2nd generation or later) with software update v5.0 or later.
AirPlay turned on in the Settings menu of the Apple TV.
A supported MacAirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)
Which Mac do I have?
A network
AirPlay Mirroring requires either a Wi-Fi (802.11 a/g/n) connection or an Ethernet connection to the same local network that your Apple TV uses.

When I import new home videos into my iTunes and edit the names it creates duplicate Library's on my Apple Tv. How can I stop this from happening each time I edit a name in iTunes home videos??

I am having an issue with duplicate Libraries showing up in my Home Sharing "Home Videos". It happens when I import home videos into iTunes and change the names of the files. How do I avoid this from happening and delete the duplicate libraries?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

How can I use AirPlay from a wireless device while in 'Join a network' mode with an Ethernet client?

I just got the brand new Airport Express (simultaneous dual-band 802.11n) and I'm trying to set it up to join an existing working wireless network that I have in my house, and to drive my home stereo amplifier and have my desktop hooked up via the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express. Here's how I set it up:
-Wireless mode is 'Join a wireless network'
-Wireless Network Name: <my home network>
--Allow Ethernet clients is checked
-Internet is configured via DHCP (it gets a valid DHCP lease and IP address on my subnet)
-AirPlay is enabled
-The audio out from the Airport Express is connected to my amplifier via an optical digital cable.
If I leave it set up just as described above, I can select the Airport device from iTunes on my MacBook Pro and play music directly to the speakers. Perfect.
The problem comes when I go to plug in my desktop to the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express. As soon as I plug in the Ethernet, AirPlay stops working on the laptop. Even if iTunes is in the middle of playing a track, the track will stop when the Ethernet cable is plugged in (with a device on the other end). Doesn't matter which of the two Ethernet ports I use. My desktop is able to use the internet while plugged in to the Airport Express, but iTunes on the laptop is no longer able to connect to the Airport Express to use AirPlay.
I've found that if instead of plugging my desktop into the Airport Express's wired ethernet, I plug in the laptop, then iTunes on the laptop is able to use AirPlay -- but then no other devices on the network are able to use AirPlay.
It appears that as soon as I plug in a wired Ethernet device to the Airport Express it only "listens" to AirPlay connections from devices connected to that wired interface. But this is the opposite of what I want. I want it to listen to AirPlay connections from wireless devices connected to the same network as the Airport Express. Is this possible? Is there some hidden setting I have to enable?
Thanks!

Hi Hreb,
I can find nothing wrong with your configuration, but I was curious if there were something illegal about having an Express "join" a wireless network, and still have AirPlay enabled for wireless clients while simultaneously serving as a bridge to a wired one.
To address that uncertainty I implemented your proposed application with the preceding model AirPort Express, and determined it works as you would expect it to: I connected a wired-only PC to the Express, verified that it can connect to the Internet, and streamed Airtunes from a Mac to speakers connected to the Express. I think this is what you want, and it works with no surprises. I was also able to stream Airtunes from the PC connected to the Express as you did, but as you know only one device can stream to the Express at any one time.
I do not have a new simultaneous dual band Express to test though, so all I can conclude is that there may be a bug with the new one that is preventing you from accomplishing this.
Since it is new, I recommend you call Applecare on Monday and explain what you are trying to do. Explain it works with the older Express and you think this ability should remain unchanged with the new dual band model. It is likely they won't be able to help, and at best will offer to exchange it for another one, but if it is a bug as I suspect any replacement dual-band Express will behave the same way.
The important thing is to inform Apple and obtain a case number so that this problem will eventually get the attention of Engineering who might be able to address this with a future update.
Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

Apple TV in Living Room and Airplay from Mac Mini .. what about Keyboard and Mouse?

Now I know that you can air play the mac mini to the apple tv, but before I go out and buy an apple tv I want to know something. My living room is a little away from the room where the mac mini is, how can I have the keyboard / mouse work with the apple tv to wirelessly control it? Do I have to buy an additional keyboard / mouse? Some people have mentioned the remote somehow works, but I need the keyboard and mouse to work, any tips from the pros?

I'm not a huge fan of Airplay Mirroring - what do you intend to use it for?
How old is your Mini and is it able to Mirror?
You need:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)

If you don't meet the specs try AirParrot software.

I can't use airplay from iphone/ipad when I update the system

It has been showed that "an error occurred loading this content, try again later".
how can i fix that?
and why apple TV can't output the sound to the AirPort Express on wifi? only airpay？？？？
so stupid...

Actually, there is a solution, and it sounds to go against what you want until you realize how well it works.
Seperate Apple IDs is the solution, but you can granularly sign into different things with different IDs. Now, I'm in the exact same situation as you and saw the exact same problem. Here was our solution:
1) Create new Apple IDs for everyone that didn't already have one. This meant my wife and daughter needed new IDs.
2) Go into Settings -> Message and select "Receive At..."
3) Change the Apple ID in iMessage on a per-device basis to the new ID for who ever owns that device. For example, the new ID for my wife went on her phone, same with my daughter.
Apple IDs are free, and you don't have to change the ID on every part of your phone. For example, we still have the generic family ID on iCloud and the store, but we have our own unique ones signed in on iMessage and Game Center. From what I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.

How do I contact apple so they can turn off iMessage from my phone number

I no longer have the iPhone. I traded in my iPhone for a different phone. I cannot receive text messages on my new phone from family that has an iPhone. I need apple to turn it off in my account but cannot find a number to call
