Can I stream a movie from my Macbook to my Apple TV on one display, and still use my Macbook for other things?

I have a Macbook Pro and an Apple TV. What I'd like to do is stream a movie from my CinemaNow Account to my television by using my Apple TV and my Macbook. I know that I can do this my using the mirroring feature, however then I can no longer use my Macbook for anything else because my TV will only display what is on the screen of my Macbook. Now with this is mind, what then is the point of having multiple displays through the use of my Apple TV, if only one display can be used at a time unless they both show the same image? Or is there a way for me to be able to stream the movie to my TV and still use my Macbook for other purposes (multi-tasking)?

To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen.

Can't stream HD content from iMac to Apple TV - help pls!

Hi.
Until a few days ago everything worked fine but now I can't stream HD movies from my iMac iTunes library to my Apple TV or iPad.
My library is recognized just fine, I can access all the films - but when I try to play them all I get is the dreaded waiting circle which just circles forever without any movie playing. SD content will play but only after a loooong wait - but forget HD films. They just circle forever - in a few cases they will play for a few seconds and then halt.
As mentioned, I have the same issue on my iPad Mini 2, so it might not solely be an ATV problem but rather a Yosemite / iTunes issue? Not sure.
The facts:
I have changed nothing in my setup from a few days ago when everything worked fine and until now when nothing does.
I have rebooted my router.
I have rebooted my iMac and made sure Yosemite is updated.
I have factory reset my ATV3 and updated it to the latest firmware
I have renamed my iMac iTunes library as was suggested by someone in another thread.
I have tested my network speed and it's fine (30 MB down / 7 up)
Still it doesn't work :-(
Can anyone help? This is so annoying - it's like the transmission speed has gone way down between my imac and ATV and iPad.

For what it's worth this is my story, Apple TV on which I now rely totally for my entertainment started getting sluggish a few weeks/months? ago, both the one in the bedroom and in the living room. Loading was desperate the spinning wheel driving me to distraction, I did all the usual reset the settings, rebooted the Mac, repaired the disk and kicked the cat, brief respite and then back to the dreaded whirligig of death.
This evening I tried something different, my Airport Extreme handles 2.4 and 5GHz so I ran Wireless Diagnostics (hold down option key whilst clicking on wi-fi symbol) (then go to window in menu bar and select scan) and ran a scan.
The scan identified the best channels for both frequencies, I selected these as opposed to automatic and all was well, average time to load and start a movie 20 seconds.
Try it I hope it works for you I have had so much help from the Apple communities for so many years I hope I can give a little back.

Why can't I play DVDs from my mac to my Apple TV

I can't play a DVD from my iMac to my Apple TV, why and what can I do to fix this

If you own the DVD, why not use HandBrake or something similar to rip to your iTunes library? Then you WOULD be able to play to your AppleTV with no issues.

When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

No problem.
This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

Can't stream a rental on Apple TV 2 (black box)

Hi folks!!
I was wondering if anyone can help me out. We rented a movie on our Mac, using my hubsand's apple id, but we can't stream it on the Apple TV. We never had this problem before. We got to rentals on Apple TV & the spinning icon keeps on spinning. I can stream the movies we have from our library, but some reason we can't stream this rental.
We decided to test it and see if we can see it on the Mac and we were able to. Now, we have 23 hours left of a movie that we only saw 1 second of it on the Mac.
HELP!!!!

Never mind.
I just unplug the cords to Apple TV & reconnected them. BAM!! It worked!!

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

From what I can tell this is a bug.
A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv.

If you wish to use home sharing then you need to setup the Apple TV under your ID.

I can stream movies on my iMac. How can I stream these same movies on my TV via Apple TV?

Hello, it seems that you can mirror your Mac desktop on your Apple TV if you have a very recent Mac and OSX Mountain Lion. The other alternative is the very efficient third party software called Air Parrot (http://airparrot.com/)
I've just started using it with my Mabook pro Mid 2010 running on Mountain Lion. It works perfectly well and only costs 10$... Hope it can help
