Can I see my Macbook Pro's screen on my TV through Apple TV?

Hi,
I just recently got a Macbook Pro and have been looking into the Apple TV device. I will be starting school soon, so I would like to use it just for Netflix but I also would like to mirror what is on my laptop onto it (so that I can use my Macbook as a dvd player when there is nothing good on Netflix).
So I was wondering, can a Macbook screen be mirrored into the TV through Apple TV just like the iPhone and iPad? I keep hearing that with Mountain Lion I would be able to do this, so I just wanted to keep asking around to confirm, is this true? If not, does anyone know of any ways I could do that?
Thank you!

Currently no, but if it's a recent Mac then probably yes when Mountain Lion OS is released in coming weeks.
When did you get the Mac? - if it's very recently you may be entitled to a free ML upgrade.  If not it's fairly cheap.

    When I turn on a video the screen on my MacBook Pro freezes.  I've been through Apple Care and they couldn't fix the computer.  I think the fan and the graphics are the problems.  I can restart after two attempts.  Sometimes I use SAFEBOOT

    Please advise the model MBP you have and the OSX you have installed.
    Also try a SMC reset:

  • Can I use a macbook pro 2 screen with a macbook pro 3?

    my girlfriends 2007 macbook pro 3 screen stopped working yesterday so we bought a 2006 macbook pro 2 off craigslist and found out that it wont run mavricks so I was wondering if the screens were backwards compatable, like if I use the screen from the 2 and put it on the 3?
    They are both the same size 15"
    thank you

    You might look at iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com and see if the two different MBP displays have the same part number.

  • Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

    When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple  to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

    There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.

  • Can I customise a macbook pro if I order it from an apple store but not the online store?

    I would be coming to Melbourne. I plan to buy a macbook pro with the retina display there. However I would need to customise it ( I plan to add some extra RAM and upgrade the processor). Ordering from the online store would be a bit inconvenient since I wont have a permanent address for a few days and I would need a laptop pretty soon. Will I be able to buy a customised one from an apple store itself? I dont mind waiting for a day or two actually.

    It may depend on the Apple Store, but I do not think they do that. Anyway, I recommend you to call to the Apple Store and ask them about this option > http://www.apple.com/au/retail/storelist
    Also, note that some Apple Stores already sell build-to-order Macs with customized hardware, so see if one of them has got the hardware you need

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You can purchase AppleCare anywhere as long as the enrollment code is provided in the box and it is for your designated Mac model, and the machine is less than a year from its purchase date.
    Then go to http://www.apple.com/register/ to register your enrollment.
    If you already purchased AppleCare, and the online search can't find it, there is still a chance the enrollment may be recorded at AppleCare's Apple offices somewhere. Don't hesitate to call AppleCare:
    (886) 0800-095-988
    to see if it might just be a glitch in their online search.

  • Macbook Pro 13" Screen went Black - Can only see when plugged into another display! HELP!

    My MacBook Pro's screen went black last night and now when it turns on it stays black. I plugged it into my tv through the mini display port and I can see everything fine on the tv but the screen on my laptop is black. Everything else seems to be working fine. Any advice that doesn't involve taking to Genius Bar??? Already tried booting in safe mode, resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. Need to fix this ASAP. Thanks!!

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

  • I can boot up my macbook pro but all i see is the wallpaper and the dock and the toolbar at the top. I can not see my hard drive or anything else. please help

    Please help. I can boot up my macbook pro and log in but after that all i see is the wallpaper, toolbar and the dock. In the dock it has 2 ? where the doc and download folders should be.  If I open up a new finder window it doesnt show anything in there no hard drive or anything. If anyone konws how to help let me know please and thank you.

    Agree with baltwo, though even if you have saved the install app I wouldn't use it unless its been used to install a known good copy of the OS already.
    In your case, that probably means start fresh:
    Restart the computer, holding down 'command' and 'r'. When the recovery disk window shows, choose 'Reinstall Mac OS X'.

  • Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

    Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

    Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
    Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
    However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

    In addition, to get you up to speed with FCP X, you can also watch 2 hours of free video tutorials here
