Can I use Airplay from my Mac to AppleTV

i'm interesting in streaming some TV shows to my apple tv from a browser.  i can do it from my iphone with no probelm, but can't seem to figure out how to do it from my Mac.
I have a 2.66 Hgz Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro running OS X Version 10.8.4

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

    Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs  that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
    Other solutions are the Air Parrot, StreamToMe, and AirServer.

  • Can I use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when connected to an AirPort via LAN cable?

    Well as stated above I'm wondering if I can use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when my PC is connected via LAN cable to an AirPort.
    I'm asking because usually your PC has to be on the same Wifi as your other Apple device, so AirPlay can function, and id love the ability to Stream via AirPlay but still be connected to the internet via LAN cable.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    AirPlay is not restricted to wireless only. It can also work over Ethernet. Basically as long as there is a connection (on the same subnet) between the iTunes host and the AirPlay "speaker" streaming should take place without any issues.
    FWIW, My Win8 PC is connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet. In turn my Apple TV is connected to the TC's wireless network. I have no trouble streaming from the PC to the Apple TV in this configuration.

  • How can I use AirPlay from a wireless device while in 'Join a network' mode with an Ethernet client?

    I just got the brand new Airport Express (simultaneous dual-band 802.11n) and I'm trying to set it up to join an existing working wireless network that I have in my house, and to drive my home stereo amplifier and have my desktop hooked up via the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express.  Here's how I set it up:
    -Wireless mode is 'Join a wireless network'
    -Wireless Network Name: <my home network>
    --Allow Ethernet clients is checked
    -Internet is configured via DHCP (it gets a valid DHCP lease and IP address on my subnet)
    -AirPlay is enabled
    -The audio out from the Airport Express is connected to my amplifier via an optical digital cable.
    If I leave it set up just as described above, I can select the Airport device from iTunes on my MacBook Pro and play music directly to the speakers.  Perfect.
    The problem comes when I go to plug in my desktop to the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express.  As soon as I plug in the Ethernet, AirPlay stops working on the laptop.  Even if iTunes is in the middle of playing a track, the track will stop when the Ethernet cable is plugged in (with a device on the other end).  Doesn't matter which of the two Ethernet ports I use.  My desktop is able to use the internet while plugged in to the Airport Express, but iTunes on the laptop is no longer able to connect to the Airport Express to use AirPlay.
    I've found that if instead of plugging my desktop into the Airport Express's wired ethernet, I plug in the laptop, then iTunes on the laptop is able to use AirPlay -- but then no other devices on the network are able to use AirPlay.
    It appears that as soon as I plug in a wired Ethernet device to the Airport Express it only "listens" to AirPlay connections from devices connected to that wired interface.  But this is the opposite of what I want.  I want it to listen to AirPlay connections from wireless devices connected to the same network as the Airport Express.  Is this possible?  Is there some hidden setting I have to enable?
    Thanks!

    Hi Hreb,
    I can find nothing wrong with your configuration, but I was curious if there were something illegal about having an Express "join" a wireless network, and still have AirPlay enabled for wireless clients while simultaneously serving as a bridge to a wired one.
    To address that uncertainty I implemented your proposed application with the preceding model AirPort Express, and determined it works as you would expect it to: I connected a wired-only PC to the Express, verified that it can connect to the Internet, and streamed Airtunes from a Mac to speakers connected to the Express. I think this is what you want, and it works with no surprises. I was also able to stream Airtunes from the PC connected to the Express as you did, but as you know only one device can stream to the Express at any one time.
    I do not have a new simultaneous dual band Express to test though, so all I can conclude is that there may be a bug with the new one that is preventing you from accomplishing this.
    Since it is new, I recommend you call Applecare on Monday and explain what you are trying to do. Explain it works with the older Express and you think this ability should remain unchanged with the new dual band model. It is likely they won't be able to help, and at best will offer to exchange it for another one, but if it is a bug as I suspect any replacement dual-band Express will behave the same way.
    The important thing is to inform Apple and obtain a case number so that this problem will eventually get the attention of Engineering who might be able to address this with a future update.
    Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

  • HT4437 can i use airplay from my ipod to my mac?

  • I can't use airplay from iphone/ipad when I update the system

    It has been showed that "an error occurred loading this content, try again later".
    how can i fix that?
    and why apple TV can't output the sound to the AirPort Express on wifi? only airpay？？？？
    so stupid...

    Actually, there is a solution, and it sounds to go against what you want until you realize how well it works.
    Seperate Apple IDs is the solution, but you can granularly sign into different things with different IDs.  Now, I'm in the exact same situation as you and saw the exact same problem.  Here was our solution:
    1) Create new Apple IDs for everyone that didn't already have one.  This meant my wife and daughter needed new IDs.
    2) Go into Settings -> Message and select "Receive At..."
    3) Change the Apple ID in iMessage on a per-device basis to the new ID for who ever owns that device.  For example, the new ID for my wife went on her phone, same with my daughter.
    Apple IDs are free, and you don't have to change the ID on every part of your phone.  For example, we still have the generic family ID on iCloud and the store, but we have our own unique ones signed in on iMessage and Game Center.  From what I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.

  • How can i airplay from my mac connected through ethernet to an aple tv 2 on wifi

    Hi everyone..
    im having troubles using Airplay on my mac.. i connect my mac to the internet and home network using an ethernet connection to my router (non apple branded router) .. my apple tv 2  is connected to my home wifi network from the same router.. when i first set up my apple tv.. i was able to see the Airplay icon on itunes and it would let me Airplay media from my mac to my apple tv.. however.. it disconnects after a little while.. same thing with viewing my itunes library from apple tv.. i was able to detect my shared library from the apple tv.. i was able to play some media but then it disconnected after some time.. but now.. the Airplay icon doesnt show up in itunes anymore.. and i cant see my shared library from my apple tv neither.. ive looked around for a solution and followed the tip to turn the ipv6 off.. it worked for some time but now the problem is back..
    i know the obvious solution is to connect my mac to the same wireless network as my apple tv.. but i would like to keep it connected through ethernet..
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
    Apple TV 2 software version 4.4.4
    Thanks in advance

    I wouldn't say that was the obvious answer at all, my Mac is connected by ethernet and 6 of my 7 Apple TV's are connected by wifi, I haven't had any of your problems. The problem is most likely on your network.
    Intermittent problems
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    Consistent Problems
    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port
    Type
    Protocol
    Used By
    80
    TCP
    HTTP

    49163
    UDP
    MDNS (Win)
    Bonjour/AirPlay
    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

    How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way?  I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way?  I have transferred epub books using Dropbox.  Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

    USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
    Connect device to computer/mac
    Select your device in iTunes menu.

    At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
    Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
    Hope that helped.
    In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

  • When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but no hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro

    When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
    If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.

    This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
    Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume)  or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call.

  • HT4437 Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Yes, you can use a network storage device for the storage of your content and use it on the Apple TV, but only as part of your iTunes library. So if your question is whether or not you can do this without using your computer or iTunes the answer is no.
