I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception. If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
Many Thanks

When I had a PC I simply took the wire going to my monitor and connected to my big screen TV to watch Netflix movies...How do I take them from my IMAC and connect them to my TV now?

This could be problematic.
It will depend on what model of iMac you have.
You may want to post machine info.
blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
Leave out the serial number.
Example:
Machine Name: iMac
Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 600 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.1.9f1
Most of the iMac's have sometype of video output port on the back. You will problably need a converter.
The 'hollywood' industry has been making it more difficult to get video out over time to prevent copying.

HT4356 Mavric doesn't support my 5 years old Big Screen Display, OR? Tried to connect my Mac Book Pro after installing Mavric, The Screen didn't work as before. I could only see the Desktop but not the movies for example. What can I do?

It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

I want to buy Apple TV for my grandchild so she can play videos and music from her Ipad on the family's big screen. Do I need anything else beside the Apple TV device. Also what is AirPlay? Is it an app, a service or a piece of hardware?

I want to buy an Apple TV for my grandchild so she can play content from her Ipad on her family's big screen TV. She has cable WiFi in her home does she need anything else beside the Apple TV. Also what is AirPlay. Is it an app, a service or a seperate hardware from the Apple TV?

Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

You need to code your web site to recognize the mobile browser and send a page that's actually usable when it does.

HT1657 I downloaded a movie on my I-Pad but don't have the cables to hook it up to our big screen TV. I do, however, on my Mac Book Pro laptop.... How do I get the movie on to my laptop. It does not appear anywhere in I-Tunes.

I rented a movie through ITunes on my I-pad. I'd now like to play it on my big screen TV. I do not have the cables to connect the I-pad to the TV, but I do have the cables to connect my MacBook Pro laptop to the TV. How do I get the movie from the I-pad to the laptop. It does not come up anywhere on the Itunes application on my laptop.

Transfer the movie from your iPad to your MacBook then. =)

Choppy video on big screens PLEASE HELP!

I've noticed that the videos that I have exported from CS3 are very smooth when played on a computer screen and average size tv screen, but are very choppy if played on a large TV or projected on the wall. Is there a way to remedy this? Please help!
Drew.

I think I figured out the issue. Thanks for all your advice. I'll repost if I have any other problems.

Drew,
How is the large-screen projector connected, via a set-top DVD player to it, or by a computer connected to it? If it's via a set-top player, is it the same one used for the small-screen TV, or a different one? What is the make and model of the set-top player(s)?
Also, what DVD media was used, and what was the burn speed used to create the DVD? Was this authored in Encore, or with some other authoring application?
Good luck,
Hunt

You can get the Apple Digital AV adaptor:

Displaying to a HD Big screen

So you probably all have seen this kind of question before but here it goes, and thank you for reading.
The next apple I purchase will be a Cube because... As far as I know I can do this but that is why I am asking cause I want to know for sure. Will the Mac Mini beable to hook up to me big screen (Panny 50" DLP)? I have a HDMI hook up in the back and I can get a DVI to HDMI cable to hook up the Mini straight to it. Will the mini be able to handle the resolution of the Panasonic (I don't see why not)?
Any pointers or recommendations would be greatly appriciated. Thanks

Shawn,
When I purchased my Mini I had sort of the same idea. I got the bluetooth keyboard and mouse and connected it up to a 50" LG Plasma. It worked OK, but 1024 x 768 was the highest resolution I could get to work. It appeared to me when you put a 1024x768 image on a 16:9 screen it stretched it a bit to make it fit, so the image was ever so slightly distorted. Also when I played 16:9 movies on the mini, I would still get the black bars at the top and bottom. I was a little disappointed in the results and moved the Mini back to an 18" LCD on my desk.
Anyway, that was my experience, your mileage may vary

Sending image to my big screen TV with Winows running on my MacBook

Greetings from RJ - Brazil!
I'm a newcomer to the MacBook and I'm having trouble sending my desktop image to my big screen TV when running Windows (Bootcamp partition). With MacOSX there is no problem at all, just connecting the DVI -HDMI cable and success! But with Windows...I've tried to change the keyboard configuration (disabling the default MacBook F1 to F12) and trying the default keys Function + F3 or F4 and nothing...
Anyone had this same problem? Need some help here! Thank you, kind regards, Jacques (jchueke)

There were seven MBPs produced in mid 2009 and mid 2010, including three different sizes, 13", 15" and 17". None of them were late 2009 or early 2010, so it's still impossible to know which MBP you have. A model identifier would be helpful.
Are these the adapters you have? Does one fit correctly into the MBP the way it's supposed to? And the other fit correctly into that adapter and have a RCA video jack (normally yellow)?

Plug an RCA cable (normally yellow) into the video jack on the adapter, and into the yellow on the front of the TV.
Plug a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA jacks adapter into the audio out jack of your MBP. Plug a red and a white RCA cable from that adapter into the red and white ports right next to the yellow port. Select that input on your TV.
Go to System Preferences > Displays and see if the TV is being recognized. Select Mirroring. You may have to select a different resolution. I don't know if you have a MBP with dual GPUs and you have to select the proper one.
See if this gets you anywhere and post back with more information.

Watching downloaded movies on big screen with mac mini

Has anyone hooked up a mac to a big screen (dlp, lcd, plasma) tv? If so is video quality good? Would it be a good alternative to subscribing to cable or satelite to watch tv programs or movies?

Not sure why you asked the question here since it has nothing to do with the AirPort Express (AX) nor wireless networking.
You should post your question in the iPod touch discussion area.
