Can Apple TV be used to connect OS X to TV as monitor?

I am looking for a way to use my TV as monitor (and maybe use the TV speakers as well) for my Macbook Pro but connect to the TV over the network. Can Apple TV be used for something like this?
Any other idea?

  • Can apple tv be used to play purchased movies without broadband via airplay

    can apple tv be used to play purchased movies from a ipad without broadband via airplay

    The only times I've tried - on holiday/vacation with no broadband - this has failed because Airplay of protected content requires a brief authorisation connection to Apple's servers.
    Conversely an ipad hooked up to a TV using the HDMI adapter works without internet for media stored on it as does a Mac computer running iTunes eg MacMini with HDMI out.

  • HT4381 Can Apple TV be used in South Africa?

    Can Apple TV be used in South Africa?
    I want to give Apple TV as a gift to someone who will soon move there.  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, it will work anywhere. You may however not have all the features that are elsewhere, depending on what is available in SA.

  • Can Apple TV be used to simply stream content, such as material streamed from web, to TV?

    Can Apple TV be used to simply stream content, such as material streamed from web, to television?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV can't stream content from the Internet, unless it is through a pre-installed app that runs on the Apple TV, of which there are about a dozen.
    You'd need to elaborate on your question, if you want further information.

  • Can Apple iPhones be used as an Internet modem for computers?

    Hello.
    Can Apple iPhones (e.g., 4S and its iOS v7.1.2), with its data plan (e.g., 2 GB Verizon Wireless 3G), be used as Internet modems for computers (Mac OS X 10.5.8+, Windows XP+, and Linux/Debian [stable])? If so, then how?
    Thank you in advance.

    They can be used both as a USB-connected modem and as a Wi-FI hotspot. Wi-FI Hotspot tends to be the easiest to configure. To turn it on, you'll need to go to Settings > Personal Hotspot and configure the few settings that appear in the menu.
    Note that on some older plans, Hotspot or Tethering requires additional payment to use if I remember correctly. On Share Everything plans this is included.
    Let's say an iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.2) has Verzion Wireless' 2 GB data plan used for its 3G Internet stuff. It already has the requirements to provide. Just need to enable its wifi hotspot for other devices to connect to. Am I correct?

  • Can't load data using DB Connect

    I'm trying to use DB connect to load data from an external source database into SAP BW.  Both databases are MSSQL.  I've followed the steps in the document, "Transferring Data with DB Connect".  The table in the source system has all CAPS for the table and the fields. I can see the data in the BW system via screen "DB Connect: Display of data from the database system".  However, when I create an info package and try to load the data, the job seems to hang.  It is stuck in YELLOW status with "0 from 0 records".  Does anyone have a clue?
    Thank you,
    Tony

    dear Tony,
    check if followed already all 'restictions' in oss 512739-BW external DB Connect for MS SQLServer
    Datasource not showing up in RSA3
    To avoid problems loading data, proceed as follows:
    1. Create a special login for the extraction.
    You should add this login to the db_ddladmin database role in the corresponding database. This generates a similar DB user at database level.
    The user you use must have the 'CREATE VIEW' authorization at least. This is contained in the role mentioned above.
    2. For the extraction, you should only use DB views that were created under this DB user. (refer also to type conversion, naming convention and so on)
    3. Assign the necessary authorizations (SELECT at least) to the selected user in the source tables, or the columns of these tables.
    4. Use the specially created login in the logon information when you set up the DB source system in BW.

  • Can Apple TV be used to make the tv the desktop display?

    I would like to use apple tv to use a flatscreen TV as the desktop display while my video port is used by a projector. Is that possible with Apple TV?

    No, sorry you can't do that.
    AppleTV is in effect a stripped down Mac rather than a device that streams the video output from another device.
    The AppleTV display output is generated by the AppleTV, so the device can only handle a limited set of media types either streamed to it wirlessly or synced to it's hard drive (plus some YouTube functionality).
    AppleTV decodes and renders the media data rather than iTunes.
    If iTunes rendered the data and sent the frames to AppleTV or allowed other apps to replicate the desktop it would be great, but it doesn't.

  • Theft of pc - can Apple help track use of registered pc?

    Our home was just robbed and our home pc which was the registered itunes account was stolen.
    Can Apple help track activity in order to help locate the hardware?

    A good idea would be to contact Apple's iTunes Store customer service and let them know your account has been compromised. It may not get your computer back, but at least your credit card number which you opened the account with could not be used to purchase items at the store.

    I would also ask that the credit card number be changed by the credit card company.

  • Can Apple TV be used without wireless or Internet  connection?

    I would like to take Apple TV camping. I wanted to mirror NetFlix or movies from my iPhone 4s to it. Is it possible without any wireless router or Internet connection?

    Settings > General > Network > set up Personal Hotspot (via wi-fi)
    It may or may not be available depending on your carrier - it works on my PAYG iPhone 4 but not on my iPhone 4S with an old contract SIM.
    This would allow a wifi connection between phone and AppleTV (you see the setting on the phone to configure AppleTV).
    I have not tesetd this myself but it may work if you can set up teh hotspot.
    Good luck.

  • Can Apple TV be used for remote music streaming?

    Hello, does anyone know if you can use AppleTV the same way you can use Airport Express? Can you stream music from iTunes to your stereo or TV?
    Thanks I am deciding between Airport Express and AppleTV but mainly want to be able to stream music.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    I'm not quite sure what it is you're looking for, but yes, the Apple TV can stream music from iTunes. With the Apple TV, you control the playback through the Apple TV, which means that it must be connected to a television. It's not like the Airport Express where what gets played is controlled by iTunes on the computer.
    You might find the Apple TV web pages helpful.

  • Can fiber channel be used for connect server to a storage in two nodes RAC

    I decided to have an Oracle RAC cluster with only two nodes.
    The storage I have is a sun 3510FC. Also have five fiber chanal ports. But my each server (Sunfire v240) has got one Ultra160SCSI multimode (SE/LVD) not any fiber chanal ports. I found that there is some FC card available to use but none fiber switch available. I want to install this FC cards to the servers and make a straight connection with fibre cable to the storage. Can this be asolution or do i have to have a fibre switch?

    Hi
    Irrespective of whether such a configuration is supported or not by Oracle.
    Has anybody got 10gR2 RAC working on
    a. 2 servers
    b. shared storage with HBA and fibre channel cables
    c. interconnect on LAN
    (yes we know it is not supported by Oracle...but again we are not going production on that....just for demo/training purposes)
    No FC switch
    No ethernet switch
    If anybody has got this working would be great to hear of 'issues to guard against'
    Thanks

  • Can Apple TV be used on a HDTV without HDMI port? If yes, what is needed for setting up?

    I have a Sony wega HDTV, and it does not have HDMI port, does anyone know if I can use Apple TV on it? If so, how is it set up?

    Current AppleTVs require a TV with HDMI.
    You may find some dubious adapters out there which purport to convert to other formats.
    If your Tv has VGA in and an audio input you might want to look at:
