Apple TV Streaming video

I am VERY close to buying the appleTV but I was wondering if I would be able to stream videos i.e.: watching current TV shows from websites like CBS, ABC, Etc., and other sites that are similar to youtube (but not necessarily youtube). Thank you in advance for any help!

That's just not possible at all (other than youtube). You can stream some audio pod casts from atv but other than that there's really no streaming much less web browsing of any kind.

  • Apple TV streaming videos but not music from iTunes

    My ATV (latest updates) will stream video (and audio from that video) from my itunes on my MacBook Pro, but no music from the music section of itunes. I'm not on a VPN or anything.  I can see the ATV option from itunes and I can select it for a split second, but then it defaults back to the computer speakers with no sound ever going to ATV.  My ipad and iphone stream perfectly well to my AppleTV.  My accounts and home sharing are all set up OK. Music is currently checked and playing on Mac. Why will it stream video (and the audio that is with the video), but no songs?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    If your ATV is connected by wi-fi, switch it to an Ethernet cable and see if that solves the problem. If the wi-fi NIC is failing it will start dropping the network connection at random and that will cause it to drop out of iTunes.

  • Apple TV Streaming Video Question?

    I don't know where to post this question but seeing ITunes is part of this query I will try here. I have a combination wired/wireless home network. Two laptops, one a IBook G4, and a Dell desktop. The Laptops are wireless while the desktop is wired. I have a Linksys wired/wireless router for this configuration. I have a passing interest in the Apple TV but I have everything related to ITunes on the desktop as that is my primary computer. My wife and daughter use the laptops. None of the computers are configured to communicate with each other. They just have access to the internet via the router and cable modem. My question is this...If I want to stream from the desktop to the Apple TV how would I do it? Is the fact the the router can do wireless enough and it would automatically sync to the Apple TV or do I have to modify my network for sharing? I question whether the two units will see each other without some changes in my network. If so, how do I do that? I thought about getting a USB wireless adapter for the desktop but I don't want to have to keep disconnecting the Ethernet cable every time I go wireless just to stream the video. I also hate to buy an adapter in addition to the Apple TV. Just an added cost. Any thoughts on this.

    Never mind. I re-posted in the new Apple TV forum.

  • QuickTime shakes during Apple H264 streaming videos

    Whenever I play a keynote, such as the one where the iMac G5 (iSight) was unveiled, or WWDC 2005, it looks like the entire video just shakes (goes back a frame every second) and gets very annoying. This does not happen on just one computer, but on both my PowerMac G5 and PowerBook G4. Does anyone else have this problem and/or a solution? Thanks!

    Looks like this was another OS X/Quicktime bug... it seems to have stopped.

  • How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?

    How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?  I want to be able to stream a video to my tv while browsing the internet or working on writing on my laptop. Thanks

    You would have to use airplay within iTunes then, unless you want to use 3rd party software (ie Beamer)

  • Is there a way I can stream video from my 2012 AirMac to the Apple TV using airplay and at the same time stream the audio to an air speaker?

    Is there a way stream video from a 2012 MacBook Air to a TV using Apple TV and at the same time steam the audio to an air speaker. Also the same question but using an ipad

    You can try one thing. Follow these steps:
    1. On your Mac, turn on AirPlay Mirroring and connect it to the Apple TV, so audio and video will stream from the Apple TV.
    2. Turn off the sound of the TV where you have connected the Apple TV.
    3. Then, make sure that you have turned on the AirPlay speakers. Then, open System Preferences > Sound > Output, and choose the external speakers, so sound will stream from these external speakers.
    This should work correctly

  • How can i stream video from Safari my MacBook Air to Apple TV.

    I've been tryingt o stream videos from my Mac Book Air to Apple TV that is connected to my projector but dont seem to see any options in safari to stream to Apple TV.  Have anyone tried this?  Is this possible?  My IPad can do it but dont understand why Mac Book cant.  Please assist!

  • How can I hook up my Sony surround sound to Apple TV to watch streaming videos?

    How can I hook up Apple TV to my Sony surround sound to watch streaming video from Netflix?

    Which Apple TV is it?
    There should be outputs you can use for video/audio. The latest Apple TV has HDMI out. Find the correct cable that matches your TV and follow Sony's user manual to hook everything up correctly.

  • Windows 7 and Apple TV- can't stream video

    Hi:
    I can't stream video from itunes on a Windows 7 pc, to Apple TV (3rd generation). The ATV is only a week old but has been replaced with no luck. When I try to stream video, an error message pops up: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device Apple TV. The network connection timed out".
    - the ATV is not the issue as it was replaced
    - I can stream audio and photos from itunes, but can't stream video (which is in the proper format for ATV)
    - I installed itunes on an old xp machine and video streaming works!
    - both the xp machine and the Win 7 machine are on the same network, so the router must be ok
    - all firmware and software is up to date and everything has been rebooted (several times)
    - the error happens no matter if it is a wireless or wired connection
    Since XP can successfully stream video and is on the same home network as Win 7 and we know that both the ATV and the router are working properly, it seems to me that there must be an issue in my Win 7 config. Does anyone have suggestions??? Thanks!

    This is what is happening:
    With an iTunes playlists of about 13,000 songs, one song will start playing (with a huge lag before the cover art appears); when the first song is finished, a second will start with the cover art for the first song still on screen. Eventually the screen goes to black, the time bar for the seconf song will pop up and after a few beats the art for both and first AND second song appear on screen together. A moment later, the audio cuts out, the screen goes to black againand eventially the AppleTV homescreen pops up. I've tried the fixes I've read about on this board; restarting everything (AppleTV, MacBook, etc), closing and reopening Home Sharing on the all the devices, doing a restore on the Apple TV, etc. Everything worked fine until I installed the update.

    Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. Amongst other things that's exactly what the Apple TV does, is streaming video from a computer.

  • Streaming video from macbook pro to apple tv

    Hello, I understand that you can use airdisplay to stream the whole desktop view to the apple tv. However, I've found that its extremely laggy when I play videos that way. When I do, the video and sound is always off by a second. When I stream using my ipad or iphone to play videos that never happens and runs perfectly. Is there a way to just stream videos from sites like youtube for the mac like the iphone and ipad?

    Yes, forget streaming that way, .....the ANSWER youre looking for is the APP BEAMER
    you cannot stream youtube, rather ON COMPUTER video and movie files.
    free trial to test it

    for streaming elsewise, use VLC STREAMER
    One of the most handy APPS for entertainment ever made.

  • When i stream from mac mini to apple tv the video jerks

    I have a Mac Mini and a 2ed gen Apple TV , when I stream from the mac to the Apple TV the video jerks and some time frezes, I have checked the WiFi and the Internet all are strong, streaming from my Iphone and Ipad are great. what am i doing wrong

    ...or it could be caused by Apple crap. I'm having the same problem. On a WIRED connection from my MacMini to an Apple TV. The network runs fine with my Windows laptop and iPad. Video streams nicely from my iPad on WiFi, but lots of jerkiness when I watch a movie from my MacMini via Apple TV, regardless of whether I'm on WiFi or wired.
    Doesn't take much to work out that the problem is with the MacMini and/or Yosemite. I'm also having problems with my Internet connection slowing or cutting out intermittently, so I wonder if they're connected.
