Can I see my desk top

Is it possibly to use apple tv to connect my computer to my tv so I can use my tv as a monitor?

AppleTV 1 and 2 have never had this kind of function.
Either the store was showing you something else entirely and confused you with their displays, perhaps an unofficial unsupported AppleTv mode or even a hacked version showing the underlying OS X desktop or screen sharing.
Alternatively they may just have used an adapter to hook up a Mac to a regular TV or non-Apple monitor - several types would be available in the Apple store depending on connection required and type of display output on the Mac.

  • How do I use AirPort Extreme to be able print from my MacBook Pro AND a PC. If I connect printer into AirPort, I can only print on laptop. If printer is connected to PC hard drive, I can only print on desk top. How do I configure this to make both print?

    If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
    1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
    2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

  • I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9.  I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9".  How can I avoid having to do this?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
    Thank you,

    Hello:
    What operating system does your computer use? What happens when you attempt to open a PDF document rather than saving it first? Please include any/all error messages. Also, have you tried opening documents from other locations or just one in particular?
    Thanks,

    Can I get a text alert notification while in a messaging thread?
    So, I am currently using my wife's old iPhone 4S.  When I get a text message, my phone alerts me.  When I am in the open the text and reply, no problem.  The issue os that after I reply and I am in the THREAD, there is NO alert if the person replies.  Can I change this so I can receive an alert?  Thanks!

  • I was able to hook up my macbook pro to the hdmi cable and see my desk top but it won't let me see any programs I open.

    I was able to hook up my macbook pro to my tv using an hdmi cable and all I see is my desk top but not the movie playing on Netflix.  Is there some utility I need to do on my computer?

    Your TV is acting as an extension of your desktop. You can have some windows on your internal screen and some on your TV. Just drag the ones you want on your TV to that part of the extended screen. You can find out how the two screens are related spacially (and control it) at System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.
    If you prefer the two screen display the same windows, you can activate mirroring on that same preferences panel. You will have to choose what common resolution they both use.

  • Can I plug a desk top computer into my Idea Centre A310, and if so how?

    I have an Idea Centre which has a great screen, but the centre is running so slowly despite my local pc fixer doing his best to clean it up and using an external HD for most files including photos. So I was wonder if I bought a desk top pc only with say 6-8gb RAM and 1TB HD, could I connect this to the centre just to use the monitor only and if so how? I would get my pc fixer guy to transfer all the info I required off the centre to the desk top pc.

    Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
    I'm not an owner of your model and I could be wrong, but....... Your A310 does have an HDMI IN port which you should be able to use to receive the video signal from another computer that has an HDMI OUT port.  The problem I see is the HDMI IN port on the A310 wouldn't be a direct signal to the display.  The signal would need to be processed by the A310 before it is displayed on the screen and if you are not happy with the A310 performance I suspect it would effect the display from the second computer as well.
    Have you ever had your A310 checked for viruses ?  Or was the performance not to your liking since it was new ?

  • Can't see attachments at top of message

    Hi,
    On all of my mail messages with attachments, when I click on the arrow in the message header to reveal the attachments, they aren't there.
    Although, the attached files appear in the message below absolutely fine.
    This means that when I click on 'save' to save the attachments, nothing happens.
    But I can drag the attachment from the message below onto, say the desktop, and the file is fine.
    This is happening on both my iMac and MacBook synced through .mac, on the same mail messages.
    Any ideas?

    I am here at the forum for this exact problem (I think)! Could it be an update mail issue?
    I sent emails yesterday with attachments. They arrived embedded for the receiver and she couldn't download them. She said they became .bmp files. I sent them as .jpg and I'd even clicked 'send windows friendly attachments. On my email it looked like I was sending them attached not embedded (paperclip and the number of attachments were listed at the top) but when I go to sent mail, I can't download or control-click:view as an icon, either!?!?!?!?!

  • HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

    I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.
