Can I stream video from my MBP to AppleTV?

I would like to watch a news program (that I can only get online) on my TV and I have an AppleTV set up - is there a way to play what is showing on my Macbook Pro through my AppleTV and onto the TV?
The show I want to watch is available live and 'on demand' through a for-pay website that I belong to. I would like to be able to watch both on the TV because my wife and I both enjoy it and its a lot easier for us to watch together if it's on the TV.
Can you help me out?

Actually, that's not entirely correct. Look for an OsX app from Erica Sadun named "AirFlick." The files need to be compatible with the AppleTV I believe (codecs live on the Apple TV). But, it doesn't need to be served via iTunes.
EricaSadun's FTP download for AirFlick
TUAW article using AirFlick
Also, AirFoil (Ameoba Software $) has an interesting app that will sync video from your computer with airplay audio going to the AppleTV- so you can stream the audio only of a DVD etc., and sync the video. [I haven't tried this second one, but I have just streamed an iPhone4 video file (mp4) to the AppleTV2 with AirFlick.
Hope this helps a bit,
-Allen

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop? I want to be able to stream a video to my tv while browsing the internet or working on writing on my laptop. Thanks

You would have to use airplay within iTunes then, unless you want to use 3rd party software (ie Beamer)

How can I stream video from a P/DVR to my Mac

Hi, How can I stream video from a Motorola dcx3400m P/DVR to my Mac? I have tried a Slingbox but the audio is out of sync witht the TV and it drives those watching on iPads or on the iMac in another room NUTS.
Is it possible to use a TV tuner of some sort. I've looked at the eye TV thing but I live in Canada/USA region and the eye TV products all seem to be for Austrailia or the UK. The one product that might work is a DVR and I don't need to pay for that as I already have one.
HELP!
Jeff

If your Mac has an audio input jack you can connect the output of a cassette machine to it (3.5mm stereo jack required). However many don't, so you will need a USB audio interface - Roland make a range. Alternatively you can buy cassette decks with a built in audio interface.
You will need a program to record and edit the input: Audacity is free and is often bundled with USB-enabled players.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X can't write in NTFS disks. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party app like Paragon for NTFS, being this application the best one to write in those disks.
Another option is to format the external disk in FAT32 or exFAT on a PC, so you will be able to read and write in Macs and PCs without having to use third-party apps. Do it on a PC and copy the files of your external drive to the internal disk first

Can i stream video from an hd camera to an ipad?

can i stream video from an hd camera to an ipad?

It would depend on the camera, and the software, there are items like airparrot, drone camera, or video surveilance cameras that have ipad apps for viewing. A great deal more research is in store I'm afraid.
Google the following for an example

Can I stream video from my Iphone 4 to a regular flat screen tv?

The mini-Displayport is for output only — you can't feed a signal into it. I suppose there's a chance that this ability may become available through the Thunderbolt port in the 2011 and later models, but we'll have to wait and see.

How can i stream video from Safari my MacBook Air to Apple TV.

I've been tryingt o stream videos from my Mac Book Air to Apple TV that is connected to my projector but dont seem to see any options in safari to stream to Apple TV. Have anyone tried this? Is this possible? My IPad can do it but dont understand why Mac Book cant. Please assist!

I Figured it out! I put the Display chooser into the toolbar on the MacBook Air and there is a little selection that allows Mirroring. I switched it on, got video, sound, and a happy man on my hands. AND I found the correct answer myself, heh, heh, heh.

Can't stream video from the web

My iPad cannot stream videos from Safari web sites except when I am in the same room as the modem and router. I am not talking about flash, I mean videos it should be able to stream.
I use an Arris modem from Comcast with a Time Machine in the same room. I have an Airport Express in another room to extend wireless coverage.
If I start a video in the "time machine room" it will load and I can then leave and the video will play. If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
I tried a test, streaming the same video to my iBook, my iPhone and my iPad - from a non "time machine room" in my house. No problem with the iBook or iPhone. The video played with no problems. No go with the iPad.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I am getting a strong Wi Fi signal.
Deanna

HI Deanna,
Try resetting the network settings on your iPad.
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
That will restore to factory default.
Restart your iPad, restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, try changing the Airport channel.
Select the device you’re setting up on the left and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, and restart your Mac.
Try streaming again.
If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
Also, check out the Airport Express online manual *page 41* for: *Items that can cause interference*

Can I stream video from iPad to iMac?

Hi,
can i stream video (movies) from iPad to my iMac?
Thanks

There are ways to stream media from your Mac to your iPad, but I do not know of a method to go iPad to Mac.
Boxee is rumored to be preparing an app for iPad that may do that, but I have not heard that it is out.

Safari no longer can show streaming video from Linksys webcams?

Since upgrading my iPhone and iPad to iOS6 yesterday, Safari no longer displays the streaming video from my Linksys webcams. I can trick it into displaying a still image by going to the camera's main page then hitting the browser back button to the page that should show the stream. This problem is also reported in the Safari on Mountain Lion community with no apparent fix for that platform. Any ideas?

I have this same exact problem my iPhone 4s as well as my iPad 2nd gen and my iPod Touch 4 gen,,,,... Tried clearing history and cookies and it worked one time on some of my cameras but then almost immediately went back to the problem you just described.
A few of the cameras were streaming well when I first tried accessing them from my iPod touch but after viewing a couple of the cameras none of them worked from then on. At least we know that Safari ios6 has the ability to successfully steam the cameras but something is happenening after you begin accessing the cameras. Its like something in Safari kicks in which prevents the actual streaming. The inter face all around the steaming box is all there and I can easily access the utilities sections of the cameras. Its just a streaming issue I think...
Anyone have any idea what in Safari could be blocking the streaming? Thanks!

Can't stream videos from Iphone 4 or Ipad 3 to apptv 3

Folks need some help- I love Mac and all the products but I am having a bit of an unpleasant experience with my apple tv 3. I have Iphone-4, Ipad 3rd gen, and Apple Tv 3rd gen. I want to use airplay to stream videos from safari or netflix- but! I get a message on my TV that states "Error occured while trying to play this video" And that is all I get. All three are on the same Wi-Fi network. Of note- my Ipad was able to stream for 30 seconds before the error message came up. After that nada.
Thank you in advance for your help

No,you need to buy a new charger.

Can you stream video from itunes using 1st generation appleTV

can I stream video using itunes on my PC and an appleTV(1st generation)?

AppleTV 1 works differently.
It has a sync/share mode and sharing (streaming only) modes set up by pairing the unit with iTunes on computers using the Settings>Computers menu.
The first sync and share connection is for one itunes library and allows you to sync compatible media to the unit's hard drive as well as stream the rest seamlessly if itunes is runniung and the drive has filled up - this media is accessed under My Music, My Movies etc.
Sharing libraries stream only and are accessed via My Shared Movies, Music etc.
Yes, Handbrake is a video converter that has AppleTV presets - use AppleTV1 preset or a simple universal Apple preset.
See:

ATV1 does not understand Home Sharing or video Airplay.

Can I stream video from my mac to apple tv the same way my ipad or ipod does?

I just got my AppleTV hoping to stream video to it from my iMac. I'm seeing this is possible with mirroring, but there was a ton of lag between the computer and tv, and the sound and video would skip horribly. I plugged the ATV into our ethernet and that has helped tremendously, but there is still some visual lag and skipping going on with the video, noticable enough to drive me crazy when watching something like a movie.
However, I noticed that when I stream the same video to ATV with my iPad, it uses a method other than mirroring; the video is greyed out on the iPad with the ATV symbol on it and sends the video to the tv instead, and it plays seamlessly! I wish I could say this is the solution to my own problem, but most videos I wish to watch are in a flash format, which does not work on iPad and I would therefore need to use my iMac instead.
So, leading back to the title now, is it possible to stream a video on the iMac without using mirroring, such as how ever it is the iPad and iPod are able to do it?
My iMac is the newest model currently out I believe. 27", i7 intel processor. The AppleTV is also the newest generation I believe. I just got both barely two weeks ago from the store here.
Any help is appreciated, let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks!

I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
As Keithjammer indicates, the TV2 does not "mirror" your screen as the platform's video interface does. Instead, the TV2 device is a wired/wireless remote multimedia player. As such, it only plays files in a compatible compression format. To do what you want it to do would require your platform to first compress the screen audio/video data to a compatible format and then stream it to the device in real time.
I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
Yes, only files can be streamed. You can, of course, capture your screen audio and video data to a compatible file and then stream the file to the TV2 device.
...except from both London Drugs (where I purchased it) and Best Buy (where I double checked).

How can I stream videos from my browers with apple tv to my tv?

Is it possible to stream the content of my webbrowser,i.e. videos to my tv with Apple tv? in some videos the airplay button appears in some not?
Any idea? Or does not work at all?
Thx
K

Klasch
Some apps support airplay and others do not, it is the choice of the app developer. You can mirror far more from your browser IF your mac book pro is early 2011 or newer (mid 2011 for all other macs) and you run OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. For older macs third party apps such as airparrot or reflectorapp will help. I have successfully watched tv series through mirror (albeit older ones in SD) with excellent quality using mirror and safari.
