HT201335 can I mirror my mac to the apple tv?

I was told by the apple people that I could mirror my mac to my tv via the apple tv that I just bought. Is this true and if so, can you tell me how to? Thanks.

Only if you have one of the following Macs:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
AND you need to purchase and install Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.
Wow...that's upsetting ;-( My late 2009 iMac is great. Starting to wonder why I updated to Mountain Lion...

I can't see my mac on the TV's home network search

Hi there can anyone help me to find my Mac on the TV. My TV is a new Sony and is conected wireless to my home network, it finds my PC after I had set up the media funktion in the sharing area. But it does not find my mac, is there also something to enable? in the sharing folder is everything checked....thanks a lot

Happy to help out! thanks.
I dont know if OS X have a Multimedia protocol that allows your tv to connect, if your tv can do XBMC then you can check this out: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=How-to:Install_XBMC_for_Mac
This is a third party software that Apple have no support on.
Give it a try maby this is what youre looking for.

Hi, I did manage to ping each computer (the mac from the pc and viceversa), also I did manage to "see" the mac from the pc windows network application; but I still have two issues:
1) I still can't "see" the PC from my Mac, under share of finder....
2) How can I do to access the mac from the pc? It keeps asking me for a user and password, should I use my user and password that I use in my mac? How can I add the pc user into my mac setting if I can't "see" the pc?
Thank you for your help

How can i see my mac in the tv ???

I bougth the cable in the macstore to conect my macbookpro to the tv (LED).
but i only see the empty screen backround of my mac.
it's like the the backround screem with zoom i think.
some body can help me ???
i add a picture to can see more clearly.
Thanks

You have an extended desktop, which means that what you see on the TV is a continuation of the screen on your MacBook, i.e. if you move your mouse off the end of your MacBooks screen it will appear on the TV screen. Furthermore, if you resize a window beyond the edge of the MacBook's screen it will start to appear on the TV screen.
The MacBook screen is currently set to be the primary screen. To make the TV the primary screen go into System Preferences -> Displays. You will see an image of two screens. Drag the little bar at the top of the smaller screen to the top of the larger screen.
You can set it so that you see the same image on both screens if you click mirroring on. However, the external display will be at the same resolution as the internal display and you won't be making full use of the maximum resolution available on the TV.

Hello. Since I bought my new MacBook Pro I am having issues with the home sharing with Apple TV. I can't access my computer from the Apple Tv, although both home sharing options are on. I can choose Apple Tv as an output from my MAC though.

Can't see my computer from the Apple Tv although home sharing is on in both devices and I can choose Apple Tv as an output from my computer.

New Mac OS Server on network, Windows box can't see other Macs anymore

I just put a Mac mini server on my network and the only services I have enabled are SMB, AFP and Open Directory. Before I put the server on the network (and if I turn the server off) the Windows 7 Pro machine I have on the network used to be able to see the rest of the Macs on the network in the Network section... I could see them, log on to one, grab files, etc. This also went for the Macs seeing the PC on the network in the Finder. Now that I have the server on the network though, I can't see the PC on my Macs and can't see my Macs on the PC. I can, however, do a "Map network drive" on the PC and enter an address to one of the Macs and connect that way. Anyone know why this could be happening?
Like I said, if I turn the server off or disconnect it from the network, the Macs will see the PC and the PC will see the Macs, but once its back on the network, they stop seeing each other, so its definitely something the server is doing that's causing it.
TIA

Confirm you have unique addresses and unique host names for the IP host names on your network. In absolute specifics, make absolutely certain your Mac OS X Server box is not configured at a conflicting address, or with a host name that conflicts with the Windows 7 box or with some other central and critical network resource such as your firewall or an IP router.
It's also possible you've got (for instance) a bad cable or a bad NIC and that's jamming up your network, though that's less likely.
Your Mac OS X Server box requires DNS be configured locally, or within your network.
Confirm unique host names. Confirm unique IP addresses. You can launch Terminal.app and use the dig command at the bash shell (+dig -x 192.168.1.1+ with whatever the local address, and +ping 192.168.1.1+ again with the local address and not with the 192.168.1.1 value shown, and +dig hostname.example.com+ or such for your domain name) or (if you're not comfortable in bash -- do go learn bash, regardless) then you can use the Network Utility in the Applications > Utilities folder.
It's also possible there's a problem with the managed switch configuration or such, but that probably isn't in use here.

I have set up my apple ID, my apple TV is connected to my Mac, internet is OK, TV syncing all movies, phones,… ok, but I can not see iTunes store on my apple TV. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks, I read several other threads and all it took was to turn off the router and turn it back on again, 'simples'.
Thanks

Can't see other Macs/PCs on the network...

Since installing the Safari 6/Apple Remote Desktop Update I can't see other Macs/PCs on the network. If I restart I can see 2 Macs, but after a while they disappear, and I can see/connect to nothing...

If you are using DHCP check that it is getting the correct addressing. In the event that it is but still not working then test by giving it a fixed IP and see if it then works.

ICal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?

iCal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?
I have several entries (too many) on calendars created prior to iCloud. They are listed as calendars 'On My Mac'. How can I get this information to my phone? I understand that iCloud makes On My Mac calendars obsolete?
I use my phone calendar to see my duties for the day, and only add entries if I'm out and on the fly. These I don't mind typing into the iCloud calendars. But my regular process when I'm sitting in front of the computer is to add them via iCal using the On My Mac calendars created years ago, over time. I need to see this information while on the go. How can I?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.

Setting up Airplay with my iMac so that I can see my desktop on the Apple TV

I have setup Airplay so that I can play music or videos from my iMac but how do I setup Airplay so I can see my desktop on the Apple TV? Initially, when I setup my iPad, the desktop on the iPad appeared on the TV; however, I cannot get it to do that again. How was it done in the first place and how do I get to see my desktop of my iPad and iMac on the Apple TV?

To mirror your desktop to your TV using Apple TV you need one of these Macs: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). All other Macs don't support this feature.
For your iPad: Double click the Home button, scroll to the left and tip the Airplay icon.

I need a link to buy online battery for Mac Book Pro 15" late 2008. Can't find this battery in the Apple Store...

I need a link to buy online battery for Mac Book Pro 15" late 2008. Can't find this battery in the Apple Store...Battery: Model No. A1281 10.8 V 50 Wh.

The only place that you can get an Apple battery is from Apple. All of the counterfeiter's will claim that they have an OEM battery for the simple reason so that they can fool you in purchasing from them.
At least from OWC you know exactly what you will be purchasing and they have a one year warranty. I have purchased two from them, one for my 2006 MBP and one for my 2010 MBP.
Ciao.
