Can I use iChat with Apple TV?

I bought an Apple TV thinking I would be able to video conference with my Grandson. I don't know how to set this up.
Thanks for your help.

I was hoping I would be able to view the "chat" on our TV via Apple TV. So I won't be able to do this?

    How can i use ipad with appletv

    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

    Make sure your settings match up with this:

    if wouldn't hurt to delete the account entirely and just re-set it up in preferences.

  • Can you use ichat with facetime

    I have an iphone4 and would like to be able to call home using facetime to chat with my kids. But we do not have 2 iphones. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Face Time uses Phone Numbers or Apple IDs registered with Face Time to make contact
    iChat uses AIM Names (Those valid with AIM) or Jabber name  (including GoogleMail IDs) to make contact (Basically Names registered with Certain IM servers)
    iChat cannot contact the Face Time servers so  Face Time names cannot be added to any iChat Buddy List.
    NOTES.
    A MobileMe  name ending in @me.com has several  functions:-
    Obviously it is a working e-mail.
    It is an Apple ID (iTunes, Logging in to Communities (once you set up an Alias), On Line Store, MacApp store and Face Time (if Linked)
    It is a valid AIM Screen Name (If the password is 16 characters or less).
    @Mac.com names have similar Functions less the e-mail part.
    Other Apple IDs created from using an external to Apple e-mail address are not Valid AIM Names. Well at least not by just being Apple IDs  (you can link an E-mail to a AIM Name registration or use the e-mail itself as a separate action).

  • How can i use airplay with apple tv on a set of audio speakers?

    hello there,
    i've got a problem with my stereo apple tv combination.
    my TV does support HDMI so i can use my apple tv on my HDTV. only my audio is being played on my internal speakers of my HDTV. I do have a set of speakers. but it doesn't support optical audio out. so i was wondering if its possible to use an Airport Express en plug my speakers in there. then wirelessly send the audio from my apple tv to my Airport/speakers. do any of you think that thats possible?? cause i really can't find another way to transfer my audio to my speakers...
    Thanks alot!!

    Unfortunately you can't send audio from the Apple TV to an airport express, but you can send audio from your mac/pc to the airport express via iTunes/Airplay, you could also send audio from an iPod/iPhone to the express. The express supports both optical and 3.5 mm in a unified port.

  • Can I use icloud with apple tv gen1

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out if i can put my apple tv gen 1 library on the cloud?  We have 3 ipads and at least 6 ipods running around this house.  It would be nice to put everything on the cloud and clear up some space on my desktop.  Also, if I can't upload the apple tv library to the cloud, how do I back it up? 
    thank you

    I don't know of any way to back up your computer to the cloud. You would be far, far better off buying an external hard drive and backing your computer to that if you are not already doing so.
    I have each version of the Apple TV, the latest one is for 1080p movies. There is no storage on the latest one and it uses a different iOS than the original. You store your movies on your computer and it streams them to your television. The nice thing is you can use Airplay between your iPads and the newer ATV which will allow you to stream material wirelessy to your TV from your iPad. If you have an iPad 2 or the new iPad you can mirror the output from it to your TV.

  • Can't use mirroring with apple tv 2,

    I installed ios5, select airplay...but there is no option for mirroring; please help...thanks!

    Double tap the home button or swipe up to bring up the tray, swipe left and tap on the airplay logo. Select apple tv and you will see a toggle switch to turn on mirroring.

  • Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

    What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
    Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
    (Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

    In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
    AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
    What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
    Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

    AirPlay Mirroring needs an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your computer supports AirPlay Mirroring. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion

    You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.
    Sorry.
    For older Mac, look at an app called AirParrot
