Can I connect my TV to my Apple TV3 via bluetooth?

Trying to minimize the wires and was wondering if I can avoid having to connect the ATV directly to the TV.
To be honest, I dont even know if its possible to transmit video via BT?

no
Wireless
Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
Bluetooth support for Apple Wireless Keyboard (requires Apple TV software version 5.2 or later)
only keyboard works with bluetooth
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs/
and even if it did then I don't believe bluetooth has enough bandwidth for hd real time movie transfer
and even if it did then I don't believe there is a bluetooth profiles for that which would require the one to use the VDP profile which http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bluetooth_profiles#Video_Distribution_Profi le_.28VDP.29
rely on h263 codec
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.263
which is limited to
1408x1152 (a.k.a. 16CIF)

  • I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?

    Can someone please tell me why I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?
    Is this just the most ridiculous oversight or is there some underlying reason why this doesn't connect and function properly? How amazing would it be if I could just click on a contact number and dial from my phone like I could in 2008 via my Lenovo and my Blackberry. This blows my mind that two devices that scream compatibility are far from it. From my bluetooth options it see my device, then sends a code, I confirm and then it briefly connects only to disconnect almost immediately. #fail #appleoversight #failfailfail
    Fix it or I'm going back to PC ****

    can not connect my Macbook Air to my Apple TV3

    If it is early 2011 or newer running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion then  you can mirror.
    A third party app called airparrot can help other models.

  • Can not connect Macbook Pro to IPhone 6 Plus via bluetooth.

    I have a MacBook pro late 2011 with Yosemite 10.10.1 and bluetooth ver. 2.1 EDR. I can not connect my IPhone 6 Plus Ver. 8.1 via bluetooth.  I can see the the iPhone 6 on my MacBook and MacBook on IPhone 6, and can select connect but the iPhone 6 has error message MacBook Pro is not supported.  I am guessing that the issue is with the bluetooth versions, but not sure.  Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

    And what is it you want to accomplish?   iPhones cannot pair with Computers  (Mac or Pc). 
    If you want to use features such as Continuity, or Handoff, pairing is not necessary.  However you would need a newer MacBook for those features. 
    iPhones can pair with speakers, keyboards, headsets, hands free devices, in car media centers etc...
    But there's no profile for connecting to a computer directly.

  • Just made the pc to Mac jump. Can I connect my iPad to my Mac Mini via Bluetooth ...my current keyboard isn't connecting so I can't even get passed the password screen.

    Someone please help me connect my two devices together so that I don't have to purchase yet another item. Is there an app or something that would allow me to connect my Mac Mini to my iPad 2 wirelessly. I can't get passed the password screen because the wireless Keyboard will no longer connect to my Mac ...helllllppp .... I use it for both my iPad and my Mac mini....does that matter?

    If your iPad is close enough to your keyboard and Mini
    and if the iPad is merely in standby and not off, the
    connection to the iPad is still active.  Therefore, the
    keyboard will not connect to the Mini.
    If the iPad is far enough away to break the Bluetooth
    connection or you unpair from the iPad or you turn the
    iPad off, then the keyboard should connect just fine with the Mini.
    Most Bluetooth HID's (Human Interface Device) can only service
    one host at a time.  This is by design. 

  • Can't connect iPhone 5s to macbook pro retina via bluetooth

    Just downloaded Yosemite and am trying to pair my iPhone 5s to my macbook pro retina via bluetooth to take advantage of call handoff.  I cannot get the pairing to work.  It appears to try to connect, sends the pair code to my phone and I accept, but then fails.  My phone mysteriously shows two available options for my Macbook Pro.  Can't figure that out either.  I tried resetting my network settings on my phone, and did a two button reset on my phone as well.  Any suggestions?

    I have a feeling this is a Yosemite bug (or iOS 8). I'm getting the same error message, and I also have 2 copies of my macbook air (2013) showing up on my phone (iphone 6 plus) . Bluetooth is on for both devices, its just still telling me it cant get network access even after momentarily saying its connected and giving me a pair code.
    Update: Unpairing the phone and re-pairing doesn't fix anything. Still get a pair code, then it immediately disconnects.

  • HT202157 can we connect IPad to Apple TV via bluetooth? How

    Can we connect IPad to Apple TV via bluetooth? How

    Can you be a bit more specific about what you're trying to do.
    You must have a black AppleTV 2 or 3.  AppleTV 1 doesn't support this.
    iPad 1 doesn't support mirroring only Airplay from apps.  iPad 2/3 does support mirroring.
    Mirroring is enabled by clicking iPad home button wtice scrolling to leftmost screen, enabling Airplay and then the mirroring slider underneath.

  • Can I connect an airCARD 782S to apple wifi, Can I connect an airCARD 782S to apple wifi

    can I connect and aircard 782s to  apple wifi

    Hi,
    According to the http://www.netgear.com.au/service-providers/products/mobile/mobile-hotspots/782s .aspx#tab-techspecs web page, the AirCard 782S is a mobile hotspot. This means that it is a mobile broadband modem and a Wi-Fi base station in one device.
    If you for some reason wish to connect to the WAN port of an AirPort Extreme base station, a mobile broadband modem or hotspot would have to be equipped with an Ethernet port. Special configuration may be required.
    The AirCard 782S does not have an Ethernet port (it may or may not be possible to get one externally: http://www.netgear.com.au/service-providers/products/mobile/mobile-hotspots/782s .aspx#tab-accessories).
    An AirPort Express (http://www.apple.com/airport-express/specs/) could possibly be used to convert Wi-Fi from the hotspot into Ethernet.

  • Can't connect to watch abc on Apple TV

    Can't connect to watch abc on Apple TV

    I'm having a problem with getting past the "Accessing ABC" with the "loading wheel of doom" screen.  Consistently will not load, and has not since I purchased the ATV last year.  Have restarted, then reset all settings and finally restored to factory with same ATV.  I have Comcast/XFINITY and have not reached out to them yet (I'm delaying that four hour hold time as long as I can.)  I have been able to activate one of the Disney apps using the same WiFi connection I'm using for ABC, and was able to stream video effortlessly when activated.  I am really frustrated that I can't get the Watch ABC app to load, and looking at the feedback given over the past year or so, responsibility has been shunted from Apple to ABC to the internet provider so that there seems to be no solid answer.  Any thoughts?  Thanks very much in advance

  • I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

  • My new iPhone 4S can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi. Works with 3G network. How to fix this?

    My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
    I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
    When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
    I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
    I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!

    I am also having the same issue. Please help!

  • I can't connect my I-Phone 6 to my car Bluetooth, any fixes yet?

    Hi Denisefromjoetowm,
    When you attempt to connect your iPhone 6 to your car via Bluetooth, how far does it get?
    Glad you updated your iPhone.  There are other things to test for, see:
