Can Apple TV stream directly from the internet?

New to the Mac world and just got Apple TV. Disappointed that it apparently only streams through i-tunes. Am I wrong?????

I was expecting to be able to stream from my Mac, but not limited to a specific piece of software the way you can with a PC. Watching from my Netflix account would have been nice.
For that you would need to connect your Mac to your TV with a video adapter cable.

    I tought Airplay is limited to stream music from Itunes to airport express.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437?viewlocale=nl_NL
    I also want to upgrade my hifi setup with the airport. But with macbook of late 2009 (OSx Lion) I wonder it would be possible to stream music form internet.
    On this forum, I could not find any guarantee that it might work with OSx ML.
    What do you think?

    How do I import an image directly from the internet without printing and scanning it in first?

    You can also Ctrl click on the image, save the image to your desktop and open it in Photoshop.
    1.
    2.
    3. Open in Photoshop by double-clicking on the saved image on your Desktop or Cmd o in Photoshop.
    I don't see any point to copying and pasting from a browser into a new file in Photoshop.
    If you want to put an image onto an already open image in Photoshop, use the File > Place... command and select your saved image.

  • I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

    I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
    When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
    I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
    I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
    Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

    In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins.  Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs.  Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

  • Since I installed a new printer I can no longer print items from the internet.

    See above question. Bought my printer at Best Buy. They said it could be a browser problem. I have Firefox. My Firefox is up to date. No problem printing documents, just cant print items from the internet.

    Have you tried to see of the firmware on your printer needs to be updated? If apple happened to change the protocols for air print (I don't know if they did but anything is possible) then your printer's firmware will also need to be updated.
    You can also see if a simple reboot helps. Turn your printer off then on, power cycle your router - unplug it, count to ten, plug it back in, and reboot your iPad (hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, then let go and let it reboot)
    sometimes just letting the electronics get a fresh start can help a ton.

  • Can songs be deleted directly from the 5th gen ipod?

    I occasionally find a song I no longer want, and want to delete it then and there off of the ipod, but I can't find this function on the ipod. I forget by the time I get back to the computer to delete it, therefore deleting it when I next sync the ipod.
    any ideas anyone? Should this be function the ipod should be able to perform?

    No, you can't delete directly from the iPod. Depending on how you use ratings, you could, for example, rate all the songs you want to delete 1 star. Or you could add them to an On-The-Go playlist. With either method, you would the easily be able to find them when you next synced.

  • Can I engrave on ipad from the internet and collect in a retail apple store in uk?

    Or is there any retail apple store support engraving on IPAD3 in uk?
    Thanks!

    There is no option to pick an Apple Store as a delivery address in the UK.
    In the UK we usually have to have items delivered to the same addresses as the card holder, as a security measure.  i.e. stolen cards can often be used to order items for delivery to an address not belonging to the card holder.
    In cases where you provide a different address for delivery (dependent on the value of the order) Apple sometimes asks that you fax them proof that you are the CC holder and that you want delivery to a different address to the card holder address.
    If you request delivery to an Apple Store by simply entering the Apple Store address as the delivery address then I'm not sure what will happen.  With no processes in place at the Apple store for deliveries of this kind, what would happen.  Would they accept the delivery?  Where would they locate your items to ensure they were safe and not normal stock?   While I'm sure you can potentially ship stuff to any address, without the Apple Store having processes in place to deal with the delivery, storage and ultimate customer collection it would be very risky.

  • My Epson printer stopped working with Firefox today. It does test pages, will work on Notebook, and will work with IE. Up until today it worked with Firefox. Why can't I print anything from the internet with Firefox?

    Up until today, I did everything with Firefox. Then I was on Paypal and went to print a shipping label and the printer would not work. I went to troubleshoot page and it printed a test page. I uninstalled my printer and then re-installed it. Still would not work from an internet page. I did a system restore. Still didn't work. Called Epson. They say it's a Firefox problem because it works on Notebook and test pages. I installed IE and the printer works. What happened and how can I get it back working with Firefox?

    I have the same problem, I cannot print PayPal shipping label off of Firefox. I did the about.config entry and have seen that the print.print_printer does not exist at all in the list of entries. I use Vista 32. I use an Epson 545 wirelessly.
    Can anyone help?

  • Can not open PDF-files from the internet...

    Hi,
    I migrade my data to my new mac. But the old user xxx is now yyy. On the old imac I can download PDF-Files with the mozilla firefox. There was a copy from the pdf at the desktop!
    Now with the new mac mini and the new user, I get an error, because the firefox (safari too) can not oper the folder Users/xxx/Desktop....
    Where can I change this settings to yyy???
    Please help...
    Thanks!
    ULLI

    It sounds like you copied your firefox profile across from your other computer and just need to change the destination for downloaded files. Under Firefox->Preferences, look in the Main tab under downloads where it says "Save files to" and click "Choose" to change the destination directory. That ought to fix it.

  • Can apple mail be used from the command line?

    Can the Mac Mail application be used from the OSX command line?  Has anyone installed
    a command-line, Linux-like mail application to run on OSX?

    I don't know about the Mail app, but have you tried installing and configuring postfix? Here is a link to a blog with some details for a postfix solution.
