Can I use Mac Book at same time as watching something on Apple TV?

Hi
I recently purchased a Mac Book Pro along with Apple TV. I purchased a movie via Lovefilm (UK based site) on a "watch it now" basis. I then proceeded to watch using Airplay and "mirroring". However doing it this way I quickly realised that while the movie is playing on my TV I obviously cannot use my Mac in the meantime, for example searching internet, emails or other documetns.
Is there a way around this? Can I use Apple TV another way so I can send content from my Mac to the TV to play, but be able to use the Mac at the same time as a computer?
Thanks for your help! I'm a first time Mac person after 17 years of Windows so still finding my way around!

Hi alstemp, don't use AirPlay Mirroring for watching movies that you put in your iTunes library. It will not only prevent you from doing anything else on your MBP, but it's also pretty system-intensive. Save AirPlay Mirroring for when you need to do something on the big screen or when you're streaming something from a website.
What you have to do is set up Home Sharing in iTunes. To enable this, go to Preferences (click on "iTunes" on the menu bar and select "Preferences" or press the command and comma [,] keys at the same time). In the window that opens, click the Sharing icon. Make sure the box labeled "Share my library on my local network" is checked then hit OK.
Now turn on your Apple TV and go to Settings. Scroll down to Computers and click Turn On Home Sharing (if the button is labeled Turn Off Home Sharing, then it's already enabled). If you haven't entered your Apple ID and password on your ATV yet, you'll be prompted to do so.
Go back to the ATV's main menu and select the Computers icon. You'll now be able to access the media in your iTunes library from your ATV.
Note that Home Sharing will only work if your computer is on and running iTunes.
EDIT: I see now that you said you bought this film through Lovefilm. Unfortunately, as far as I know, Lovefilm is a streaming service and not yet available on the ATV. So for now, you will be stuck with AirPlay Mirroring. Note that you can also rent movies through iTunes.

Yes you can use an 85W adapter with a MacBook that requires a 60W adapter. Not an issue.

i can not use mac book air with samsung galaxy 3 to transfer files. i download the OS X 10.8.1 mountain line version the latest one...how can i introduce them each other?

Thanks how do I get the latest version then? online its asking me to submit address details and all sort and I'm not keen to do that, I'm working away from the city I bought it in and there is no Apple Store near me yet?

2010 Mac book pro, every time I do something remotely straining, i.e. open up league of legends, screen goes black, power light stays on but nothing works. Its been doing it since I downloaded lion, I just want to know how to resolve it? Come on apple.

I’m going into my third year of graphic design and I’ve had this laptop since mid 2010. I can’t use any of my adobe programmes fluently without it shutting down or play any games. I'm 2 grand into my overdraft and don’t come from a wealthy background, I saved up for about 2 years to get the laptop to help me with my studies and I certainly didn’t pay nearly 2 grand for something that looks nice that I can go on Face book on.
I’ve looked at various threads and posts and it seems lots of people have the same problem but no resolution. Please don’t comment if you have the same problem because I’m trying to get this sorted out not build a group of friends with **** laptops. I think this problem needs to be addressed and apple need to stop ******* ignoring the minority of 2010 Mac book owners that haven’t got a heavy back pocket to fix the glamorised laptop when it ***** up after a year of buying it. Its supposedly a high powered machine, I shouldn’t have to cack myself every five minutes over whether opening a certain programmes going to shut down my computer. Its affecting my education and patience.
This is the error message that occurs about 8 times a day when it does it. Surely someone can make sense of it.

To operate your computer with an external monitor attached and the display closed:
1 Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to your MacBook Pro.
2 Connect the power adapter to the MacBook Pro and a power outlet. Check that the power adapter light is on.
3 Close the MacBook Pro display to put the computer to sleep.
So when your lid is closed your laptop goes to sleep. This is expected behavior.

Hotmail PW updated, Can't use Mac book Mail program to check mail

Hi,
I updated my hotmail.com user password . I can log in on a hotmail web browser to check mail.
But if I check mail on the Mail Program on my Mac Pro, the Mail program keep showing me
"Mail can't connect to the account Hotmail.com".
Please help.

Thank you LexSchellings for your reply.
I did the following procedure:
* disabled the existing hotmail.com account,
* add a new hotmail.com account with the same info.
This solved my problem.
I found the non working hotmail.com account with incoming and outgoing servers are "live.com :-
For hotmail.com account , they should be:
Incoming mail "imap-mail.outlook.com",
Outgoing mail "smtp-mail.outlook.com"

With iOS 5, can I use my iPad or MacBook Pro to watch Hulu on Apple TV?

I want to be able to watch Netflix and Hulu on my TV, and while Ragu is the only device I can find with that capability (besides the XBox 360 for over twice the cost), I want to know if there is a workaround on the Apple TV using AirPlay. I love the idea of AirPlay and the endless possibilities of viewing my iPad2 on my TV, but I have read so many reports of it only working on a few apps, as of iOS 4.2
With iOS 5, does AirPlay now work for ALL streamed content (including anything open in Safari, or Hulu Plus App)? Are there any alternatives so I can use my Hulu with an Apple TV?
Also, does AirPlay work on MacBook Pro as well? (ie, if I have my iPad, can my wife watch hulu on our TV via Apple TV, via our MacBook Pro?)
Or... should I hold out and wait until Apple (hopefully) eventually caves in, and just go with Roku?

Re: Airplay. This is currently up to the developers to implement so it has nothing to do with Apple. Hulu have decided against it for legal reasons.
IOS 5 will bring airplay mirroring with iPad 2 but will have to wait and see to test. It isn't out until the 12th.
Airplay will work with the Macbook but only through iTunes

Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

Yes.
From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

I to use iphoto library manager to save corrupted iphoto and each time it saves some and the first time it brings up iphoto, iphone goes into "not responding" mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2.

I've had issues with my iPhoto "not responding" and as a result I am attempting to save my photos to an external hard drive using iPhoto library Manager but each time I start the program it saves some, and then when it starts iPhoto, iPhoto then goes into not responding mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2. I have completed all of the photo library first aid steps several times, but it makes no difference, iphoto eventually goes to "not responding." Initial issues started with Time Machine back ups stopping because of iphoto. Thanks......

Do you have a back up?
If you're just trying to recover the photos you can do that much more simply:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Originals' or 'Masters'. (varies according to the version of iPhoto)
Your photos are inside - these are the originals as imported from your camera.

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

There are several things that could make the computer run slower than expected
or slower than previously experienced from time to time; if a new system was
installed into a computer with slowness and other issues, that may compound the
problem since an upgrade to an OS X is not necessarily a remedy for old trouble.
If the issue may be a performance concern, there are cause and effect reasons
behind computer functionality. And if the computer was super quick, then after
an upgrade to a newer OS X, super slow, there could be several things going on.
The software previously working in the computer may not be correct for a newest
operating system; or the computer hard disk drive may be getting too full of content
that has no relation to the function of the device. Not enough unused storage space
or capacity can contribute to an overall slowness. And this also would relate to the
computer's use of resources. More installed chip RAM can help a computer run
better, and if you have extensive saved content in the computer you made, get an
externally enclosed hard drive and see about how to go & move that accumulation
off the computer's limited space so it could run better.

•Tech Guides - in addition to the above - from thesafemac:
http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
There may also be adware or other kinds of malware inadvertently installed in your
computer; so that is something else to consider, find & remove. Note info in guides.
You could use the Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder (see Go in Finder menu) to
see if there are applications or processes running extensively that could point to
some waste of system resources. If there is something actually using anything at all
out of the ordinary. These kinds of things are hard to judge - if you aren't familiar.
So, anyway, hopefully you can get some ideas from the above site pages to help.
Good luck & happy computing!

If a photo is returned to me in a reply does it use additional storage? I am using Mac Book Pro w snow leopard 10.6.8 and an iPhone 4s iOs 5. Yes, eventually I'll free up time to update these. Thanks.

Uh uh, I see!
Also it seems I can use my time machine backup:

together with Migration Assistant. This would work. Thanks
Now I need to figure out the Windows part. I need a full backup of Windows as well, with all the programs. In particular I need to be sure I can maintain the graphic card drivers.
You don't want to know how long took for me to find out how the **** I could update my graphic card drivers in Windows on my Macbook pro. Unfortunately there was a lot of misleading propaganda from Apple about bootcamp, saying that the new intel processor would have worked fine with Windows. Sad that everything was a lie. When installing Windows with bootcamp the graphic card program was unable to find and install the graphic card drivers update . Took me 2 weeks reading through thousands of angry posts of disappointed costumers to find out how to do that. I do not want to reapeat this dreadful experience.
After one year and a half with my Macbook pro I have a system I am TERRIFIED to touch. It is very very fragile, and any little change can destroy everything. It barely works. that's why I am so scared to re-install the OS

Can i play music and use mirroring function at same time from ipad2 to apple tv

can i play music and use mirroring function at same time from ipad2 to apple tv

Yes, any audio during the "mirroring" funtion will forward to the appletv. This includes all system audio, games, apps, ect. If you slide the mute botton the side of your ipad to mute then you can block app audio and just get Music audio or Pandora if you are using pandora.

I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died. We don't know the password. How can we get in to set up wireless printing??

I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died. I am trying to set up wireless printing for a new HP printer and it asks for the Administrators password. Is there any way to break through this and create a new password?

Is the Macbook running? If yes, go to Apple Menu About This Mac to find out the version of Mac OS X you are running.
If the computer is not working, do you know the model, or the version of the operating system on the MB?
You can track down some information with the serial number. Here's how to find the serial number:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1366
With the serial number you can identify the model on this site:

When we know the model it will be much easier to answer your questions.

Can I use Mac Book at same time as watching something on Apple TV?
