Does anyone know if I can play a DVD on my iMac and watch it on my iPad?

You can try VLCStreamer from the App store.

  • Can I play a movie on my iMac and watch it through my Apple TV2?

    I want to steam a movie on my iMac upstairs and watch it downstairs on my Apple TV

    If the Movie is in itunes and in a compatible format yes - either selecting on AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library>movies or playing in iTunes and using AppleTV as an Airplay destination.
    If you mean an inserted DVD or from a non-itunes app then no.

  • With Apple TV can I play a DVD on my macbook and have it display on my TV

    I have Apple TV...  have since it came out - but have no clue how to use it.  First question...  can I put a DVD in my macbook and have it display on my TV wirelessly through Apple TV

    With Apple TV you stream content from your iTunes library using homesharing, provided the content is compatible

    You can also use airplay with an IOS device

    Natively you can rent from iTunes and use a few other services like Netflix (varies by location)
    As stated above you cannot stream a DVD

  • How can I play a dvd on my Mac and display it through Apple TV

    I want to use my DVD drive on my mac to play back movies through my apple tv2. I notice that on my iPad, iPhone, iTunes on my computer all have the AirPlay option to display the video on my TV through Apple TV. I do not want to burn my DVD onto my Mac and play through iTunes becasue its a hassle.

    One thing you can do is to play the DVD in your Mac using DVD Player instead of iTunes, and then, turn on AirPlay Mirroring to stream your computer's display to your Apple TV > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com This is the only option, because the Apple TV isn't compatible with discs
    Logical but it won't work - DVD player output will be a grey checkerboard pattern.
    Apple apps prevent Airplay of DVD content at low level presumably for some copy protection reason.
    VLC player is believed to work.

  • How do I play a DVD on my IMac and make it show on TV?

    I have an Apple TV 3, IMac 22", and want to use my IMac's DVD player to play a movie and project it on the TV screen. How do I do this?

    You would have to use mirroring. Native use requires a recent Mac (2011 or later) running Mountain Lion (10.8). Otherwise there are programs like Airparrot.
    The native DVD is blocked, you would have to run something like VLC to display the DVD through mirroring

  • Can I work while playing a DVD on an iMac?

    Can I use Pages, Safari, etc. on my iMac while playing a DVD on the iMac (small viewing window of course?)  Does doing so slow down the DVD player or vice versa? I'm using 10.10.1 (Yosemite) if that makes a difference.

    Yes. OS X can multi-task. Depends on which iMac you have. I notice no impact what so ever on my Mac Pro.

  • I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

    I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.  The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay.  The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive.  I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

    If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
    VLC Player may work.

  • I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad.

    I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad. All the software is up to date.

    do you use the same Apple ID on your iMac, your iPhone and iPad? This is a requirement.

  • Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?

    Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?
    Chris

    Yes, AUX in jack.  Radio shack may be required to make sure your connectors are compatible.  For example, you may need a standard RCA splitter to mini-RCA.  The mini-RCA (3.5mm) is for the airport express while the dual (red-black) for your AUX in.  Hard to say without seeing the connectors.
    Itunes on Mac sends music to airport express (you select it in iTunes), the airport express sends the music out via the mini-RCA, your CD player auxillary input converts the RCA signal to sound.

    Any suggestions that preserves a simple workflow much appreciated.

  • HT1536 I can't play .avi file in my imac

    I can't play .avi file in my imac

    I can't play .avi file in my imac
    The referenced article is quite explicit. Nothing has changed since its 2010 posting. Either codecs are supported or they arenot supported. If not supported, then the proper codec(s) must be installed IF AVAILABLE to support the data in the AVI file container. In some cases, depending on which QT player app you are trying to use, the data may not be supported in the AVI file container but may be supported in an MOV, TS, MPG, or MPEG file container. Thay is why you need to follow the instructions and determine which specific compression formats were used to create the file. AVI is a "legacy" file container that has not been officially supported by Microsoft for more than a decade. If you do not want to determine the specific problem preventing your viewing of the file and fix it, then download a third-party player like VLC that employs its own internal FFmpeg codec support and does not rely on your Apple's system configuration for palyback or use a converter app like Handbrake that has presets that will convert the AVI file to QT compatible compression formats in QT compatible file containers and suffer some possible loss in video quality.

    If it contains Windows software, you need to use Windows, CrossOver Mac, or Wine. If not, it depends on the file types it contains.

  • IDVD CAN  I PLAY A DVD FROM MY MAC ON TO MY TV ?

    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP
    CAN I PLAY A DVD FROM MY MAC ON TO MY TV BY CONNECTING IT SOME HOW ?

    Hi
    Does Your Mac have a S-video out ? Some does.
    The way to connect isn't easy or straight forward - I use a S-VHS VCR in between
    and now one can buy a DVD-player for less than $75-50 I wonder if it's really
    worth the hazzle.
    Playback from iMovie via FireWire and an Analog/Digital box to TV is one way
    but then the DVD has to be converted to streamingDV.
    iDVD can't deliver out to FireWire
    DVD-player not so either
    And PLEASE ! Don't shout (using capital letters = Shouting on e-media)
    Yours Bengt W

  • How do I play play a dvd from my mac and send to apple tv

    Just got my Apple tv for my new Imac everything works fine. How do I play a dvd on my mac and send to apple tv

    If you mean a commercial DVD you have bought, then you can't. They are usually copy protected and removing the protection is illegal in most countries, so we cannot help you do that.
    If it is a personal DVD that you own the copyright on, then you can convert it to iPad format using Handbrake. Handbrake will not convert copy protected, commercial DVDs.
