Can ATV2 stream directly from iMac/iPhone/iPad, w/o a wireless nework?

Out of curiosity, if I do not have a wireless network, or my wireless network is down, can I stream my itunes music files directly from an iMac, iPhone, or iPad directly to my ATV2 via Airplay, or must I have a wireless network established?
For example, we have a cabin in the mountains which does not have an internet connection, as none exists (outside of dial-up). As such, we do not have a wireless router because there is no need for one. Can I still stream music from my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or iPad to the ATV2, or must the ATV2 be connected to a wireless network?
If this is possible, how do I set it up?

You do not need an internet connection. I have no ethernet cable, and it is not necessary to have your iPhone tethered to the iMac. In fact, I use my ad-hoc network most of the time to stream only my iMovie projects, and iTunes, from my iMac to the ATV....with no connection to the internet. It's a stand-alone setup.
My ATV (1st generation, though...wonder if there is a difference here?) see's the network I created...with a strong signal. I'm about 30 feet away, and in a different room.
I have my ATV set up in iTunes to stream all movie content from my iMac.....(mainly slide shows created initially in iPhoto). As posted earlier, this has worked with no problem for about 3 years.
If I can provide additional info, please let me know. The only variable I see is ATV2...which may be significant....I'll provide screen shots if you think it's useful....

    No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.

    Can I stream video from my Iphone 4 to a regular flat screen tv?

    The mini-Displayport is for output only — you can't feed a signal into it. I suppose there's a chance that this ability may become available through the Thunderbolt port in the 2011 and later models, but we'll have to wait and see.

    Not unless they are iTunes store purchases or in other apps on AppleTV such as Netflix.

  • HT201335 Can I mirror directly from an iphone 5 or 5s to an ipad air?

    I know it sounds stupid, but i was curious because there are certain movies, shows, or plainly, just want to use my ipad temporarily to view a movie from my slingbox for example that I can access with my iphone 5s but cant with my ipad air because it can only do wifi (no carrier).
    P.S. The trick is that I would like to be able to do that on a straight connection without having to be on the same wifi connection. Think of a hospital setting where your iphone has an unlimted data plan and you have an ipad air that you want to use as a display via mirroring without hotspotting/tethering.
    Thank you in advance,
    Jordan

    AirDrop compatibility did not exist until Mac OS X 10.8.
    Looking at the System Profiler, you should be able to determine if your Intel Mac is capable of it:
    MacBook Pro 5,1 and later
    MacBook Air 3,1 and later
    MacBook 5,1 and later
    iMac 9,1 and later
    Mac Mini 4,1 and later
    Mac Pro 4,1 and later
    If you have a PowerPC Mac, there is no AirDrop, and standard file sharing rules apply.

  • Can I stream music from my iphone to my iPad?

    Hi,
    Looking to find out if this is possible. My iPad memory has been taken up with apps and videos. All of my music is on my iPhone. But I find the iPad better for listening to music.
    I would like to be able to do it without the use of a laptop if possible.
    Whenever I search online it only gives the option for airplay to Apple TV.
    Cheers for any help
    Mick

    I'm not aware of any.  Besides, you can not use BT to connect an iPhone with an iPad.

    I was making the assumption that the OP was referring to Home Sharing. Third party apps will allow for photo streaming.

  • Can i fax direct from iMac without buying a fax machine?

    how do I fax from my imac without having to buy a separate fax machine

    To send a fax, you need to have a fax modem (not found in any modern Mac or PC anymore) or to use an internet fax service like this.

    Or if you have a multy function printer/scanner/fax machine, you can scan a document and fax it.
    Or you can buy a USB modem.

  • Can I stream Netflix from my iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro?

    Can I use my iPhone 4 (AT&T) to stream to stream Netflix to my (Dec, 2010) MacBook Pro? . . Would it be possible with an iPhone HDMI adapter, a HDMI cable and a HDMI to mini displayport adapter?
    Are there other streaming non-music media services that might work as well.
    There seems to be a fare number of people who would be interested in utilizing there unlimited data package on a bigger hi-res screen.
    Thank you for you're help.

  • Can't download photos from iMac to iPad.

    I have my iPad connected to my iMac. When I bring up iTunes on the mac, it does not show the iPad under devices. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Ralph,
    I was too quick in responding. I had to leave the machine and now I'm back. I followed your advice and went to the VIEW menu and clicked Show Sidebar. What shows is Library, Store, Genius and Playlists - no iPad. I do have iTunes 11.  Another suggestion?  By the way, when I click on File and then Devices, hte Sync Don's iPad is not lit up and I'm unable to invoke that. Perhaps that will provide a clue for you.  Don

  • Can't sync calendar from imac to iPad

    I have IOS5.1 installed on my iPad2 but am using snow leopard on my iMac. Must I upgrade to Lion before Ican sync my calendar between both?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes, iCloud requires all Lion to be installed on your computer. You can check your contacts, calendars etc on your computer through the website iCloud.com, but you cannot sync the data to the applications on your computer.

  • Unable to stream Videos from Mac and IPad 3 to TV

    My Apple TV (1.Generation) is starting to work bad after an update.
    I am no longer able to stream videos from IMac nor IPad 3 or IPhone 4.
    Can anybody give me a help.
    Thanks.

    Not sure if I'm missing something here. AirPlay is the newer audio video streaming technology Apple implemented into their devices. Airplay video from a computer requires a newer Mac running Mountian Lion and a 2G or higher ATV. Streaming video from iTunes to a 1G ATV still works, it is similar to AirPlay but is technically not the same thing.
    Streaming video from an iPad or iPhone to an Apple TV is using AirPlay and also requires using a 2 or 3G ATV. These are hardware limitations no HDMI cable can fix.
    If you can not stream video from iTunes by selecting it on your Apple TV you have a problem. If you are trying to send video to the ATV by selecting it on a device you need a new ATV and/or computer.

    Hi! How can i stream a free movie directly from my iphone to my Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can send movies to the Apple TV using Airplay in many cases. Not sure what you mean by free movie, so I can't tell you whether it's likely to be compatible or not, please tell us more.

  • Can i stream straight from my iPad2/iPhone

    Thinking of getting Apple TV but would like to know if I can stream straight from my iPad 2 and my iPhone without going through my computer.
    Sorry if this has been answered  before

    Yes, you can stream content directly from only an iPad 2 or iPhone 4S. To do this, you have to enable AirPlay on the apple tv and home sharing on your devices. Now when you go to a downloaded movie on your device and select play, tap the screen again and select the airplay icon.
