Apple tv. Trying to stream.

I want to stream from my macbook pro to my apple tv. Can I do this? and how? I am trying to stream a free and legal nfl playoff game.
And also thinking about getting the NBA package, but only if it streams.
Help?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only stream content from in iTunes to the Apple TV 2.
The Apple TV has NBA already, you don't need to stream it from a mac.

HT1551 itunes account sign-in failed when trying to stream movie on apple tv

I am trying to stream a movie on apple tv and when I try to rent it a message comes up saying "account sign-in failed" itunes is unavailable. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Hello Geneber,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you have already redeemed your iTunes Store gift card, then the balance should be able to be viewed on your iTunes Store account. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID on your Apple TV, the purchase on the Apple TV will be deducted from your credit balance.

Take care,

Trying to stream Amazon Prime Free videos from Ipad via Mirroring to Apple TV

Trying to stream Amazon Prime Free videos from Ipad via Mirroring to Apple TV. Trailer plays fine. Real Movie plays audio only. Some error messahe that HD video can't be played over HDMI cable. I telling ya that 25 foot VGA cable is looking better and better. Apple TV tech the differrence had to be done at the time of encoding

Amazon blocks Airplay in encoding the movie. It's not the HDMI cable, or AppleTV for that matter.

Apple TV started having streaming issues with Netflix

Several days ago my Apple TV is no longer providing consistent streaming throught Netflix. Before that, I had great streaming through all content for many months.
Issues, configuration and some actions already taken:
Video quality starts suffering, then some pauses/buffering begins.
I have tried the same Netflix account, content and network to trace the issue and found out through my Macbook Air and iPad and the streaming is excellent.
My Apple TV is connected to my ISP through an Ethernet cable at 200 Mbps (tested @ Speedtest.net)
I already restarted several times, and restored once my Apple TV.
Software is updated since it became available.
Yesterday, I found a post which recommended to manually setup my DNS to 008.008.008.008 which I did and worked great at that time, but todays problems are back with that fixed DNS and with Auto setup.
I hove someone here can help me with some further advice, or perhaps Apple very soon releases a fix. Seems that the latest update improved Airplay consistency to deliver both video and audio and not only video, but might have broken Netflix streaming.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm having the exact same issue since the latest update. I thought it was my internet connection but it worked perfectly fine in my ipad and macbook air.
I also have 2 Apple TV's and the problem is in both of them. I really hope apple fixes this issue ASAP.
In the meantime, if you wanna watch your netflix content on your apple tv with good streaming and you have an iPad/iPhone with netflix on it. I recommend Airplay mirroring the iOS device and then opening netflix, it will airplay the video content and the iphone/ipad screen will function as a remote control with all the settings and stuff...its kinda cool...the only bad thing is that you can't turn off the iPad/iPhone screen or it will pause the movie.
i hope this works for you while apple fixes this issue.

ITunes 9: Unknown error -15000 trying to stream to remote speakers

Some weeks ago, I started getting unknown error -15000 when I tried to stream music from my AEBSn to to remote speakers connected wirelessly to an AXn. I found Apple's iTunes 8 article on -15000, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2277, that blamed old firmware, but I am using the latest versions. I've tried pulling power on both wireless units and rebooted the Mac hosting the music but no luck. A search through the posts showed nothing promising. Has anyone else seen this error or have any suggestions? My versions are:
Mac OS 10.6.2
iTunes 9.0.3
AEBSn 7.4.2
AXn 7.4.2
Thanks, Will

Apple TV no HD Streaming

Just noticed today (before everything ok) streaming YouTube and Vimeo "HD" videos are showing not in HD. Changed HDMI cables and reset Apple TV with no difference. Any ideas much appreciated.

Hello 501ampm,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I woulld take a look at this part of the article named:
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express. Try the following suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > General > Bluetooth.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your Apple TV and iPhone/iPad.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
All the very best,
Sterling

Airport Express (error -3256) trying to stream to multiple speakers

I have an iMac and have set up a network on airport extreme. Set up airport express to stream airtunes only and had no problem yesterday going to both computer and the speakers connected to airport express. Today, connected my windows laptops to the network with no problem using LinkSys wireless USB, but when I tried to stream music to computer and airport express both I got the error it seems many others have -- unknown error (-3256) and it will only now stream to one of the 2 locations (either computer or airport express, but not both at once) at a time. However, from iTunes from my windows laptop PC (I have version 7.0.2 on my PC, and just purchased my 1st iMac) I COULD stream to BOTH !! Now even when I disconnect the laptop PC's from my wireless network I get the same error. Some setting somewhere must have changed. I spent an hour on with Apple support and we looked at firewall, reinstalled iTunes, hard reset the Airport express and rejoined the wireless network, none of it worked. Since the PC laptop can stream to both, it must be the op system or some setting on my Mac.....shouldn't be the router.....should it? I am supposed to talk to Apple tomorrow and get the problem escalated when the hold times come down a bit, so if I can I will answer my question on this board, because I have seen similar issues that aren't solved yet (unless it was the firewall issue which didn't work for me).
Anyone who can help, please do. Or even suggest a course of action (maybe it is something with router? but then why did my PC laptop stream to both, or iTunes or Leopard?)......I have tried many of the obvious fixes on the phone with support. Thanks all.

The problem is simple, the Apple firewall is blocking UDP and the only workaround is to completely open it up ( Arrrgh! I hear you shout). "SysPrefs" -> "Security" -> "Firewall" -> "Allow all incoming connections" is the way to do it... horrible I know!!
Hopefully Apple will put a little more attention into making sure that the firewall provides adequate protection without impairing AirTunes functionality.
Have fun opening your network to the world... by the way I have leopard 10.5.1 not the 10.4.6 quoted below... have to update profile.

Trying to stream movie from Netflix. Using Lion, Safari

Trying to stream a movie from Netflix on macbook pro. Using Lion, Safari & Silverlight 5.1. Movie downloads OK & black screen appears with controls. Movies doesn't play. When I put my cursor anywhere on the movie progress bar, a still picture and the time of the still beneath it appears. But the movie itself never plays. Uninstalled and re-installed silverlight. Called netflix, microsoft and applecare. No one has a solution and punts to the other! Can anyone help me please??

I disagree...We use apple because we like to use safari.
why would we download another troublesome browser onto our macs..?
geez.
Yes it is & I'm sticking to it!!!!
Using Safari is your personal choice. Having backup browsers is the way to go for Mac users. If one browser doesn't work, use one that will. Not all browsers are troublesome.
I use 3 browsers. None are troublesome. The browser I use as my default browser has more of what I want to do than Safari. It's my personal choice.

I seem to be getting error messages when trying to stream videos

Why am I getting a message that says "this operation could not be completed" when trying to stream a video?

Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.
Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above.

Apple TV Won't Stream Video From IPad

Hi,
I have some video's downloaded from the App Store on my iPad, the Apple TV will not play these. It will play the sound but no picture. The Apple TV wants to stream them from the cloud. I tried to turn off 'cloud streaming' on the Apple TV but this makes no difference. When I simply try to mirror it says the TV isn't authorised to play content.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I turned off my firewall, and it did solve the problem of getting the message in iTunes that I click "Ignore" on. But, it didn't solve the streaming problem with Apple TV. From Apple TV I go to my shared music on that iTunes (8.0.2), and the menu on the right comes up (Playlists, Artists, Albums, etc), but once I start clicking through it after about 5 seconds it just freezes up. Should I try a system restore on the Apple TV to go back to 2.2? It came with 2.2 and I ran the update to 2.3, so I'm guessing/hoping that a system restore would let me go back to 2.2. My hunch though is that it's a problem with iTunes 8.0.2 -- just a guess.

This message comes up "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID" trying to down load movies of another computer of ICloud how do I get By?

This message comes up "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID" trying to down load movies of another computer of ICloud how do I get By?

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

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.

I have an apple 3g, tried to update it to 4.2, but it wasnt successful, then they asked me to restore it .. to which im getting an error message of "the iphone could not be restored an unknown error has occured (error 1015), any solutions?

i have an apple 3g, tried to upgrade it to a 4.2 version, (previously it was 4.1). it wasnt successful, the computer asked us to restore it to the version which was last operational, and while restoring an error message appeared "the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured

"This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."
Taken directly from this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275.
Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.
