Can someone get my airplay screen with their own apple TV?

I got a Macbook pro w/ OS X 10.8.2 and I was wondering when using Airplay with my Apple TV if someone else with an apple tv can see my screen (if in close proximity)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay only works over the same network, only Apple TV's on your network can see your MacBook.

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

  • HT5622 We are a family of 4, each with their own apple device. Is it best for us to set up individual apple ID's for things like ITunes? If we do can the same e-mail address be used for all of them or do we need to create e-mails for the kids? Thank-you

    Thank-you

    1. Yes, it is.
    2. You may be able to use the same address by adding a plussed suffix to it, such as [email protected] If that doesn't work, create separate emails.

  • How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID?

    How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID? It belonged to someone else so presumably it has been authorized with another id. Your help and answers are much appreciated.

    To make sure the file system is closed properly iPod classics should be ejected from the iTunes interface, or if iTunes isn't running, using the "Safely remove hardware" tool. That message is a standard warning. If the device shows up in iTunes you can configure the selection of media content that you want to sync to it and press the sync button to start the process. iTunes may spend quite a long time "thinking" before any tracks are copied over.
    If you think there might be something wrong with the device itself see Corrupt iPod classic for some troubleshooting tips.

  • Can't get past gray screen with file icon on it

    When i turn on my computer the power light goes out but the gray screen stays on. After two or three minutes an icon of a file with a question mark appears. I cannot get past this screen. I have removed my battery and tried again. I have also tried the other processes for a computer that won't turn on. In my case the computer does turn on just never gets past this gray screen. Please someone help me

    The question mark on the file tells you that your MacBook wants to start up but can't find a viable OS to start from. Can you start up from the DVD that came with your Mac? If so, go to Disk Utility and see if you can repair the internal hard drive. If you can't see the hard drive from within DU, your drive may have failed, and you may need to replace it. Good luck.

  • Can't get past gray screen with progress indicator... Help

    I can't turn on my Macbook. It starts but won't go past the gray screen with the progress indicator (spinning circle).
    I have tried:
    1. turning off, removing battery, holding start for 5+ seconds, replacing battery and then turning on.
    2. Holding command + option + R + P while staring up, waited for 3+ chimes.
    3. holding Shift down while starting up
    none of these things are working.
    I've been on hold with apple service/support for almost an hour now.
    I have an assignment on the computer that is due by midnight.
    HELP!
    I'm not very computer savvy and this is my first mac.
    Any ideas folks??
    Thanks.

    You've done all the standard procedures. If you have any peripherals attached, disconnect them.
    This describes resetting the PMU:

    Did you have the AC disconnected when you did it? I don't have any other ideas.
    These are the startup key options:

    Edit: If you have the install disc stuck in it anyway, can you get the hardware test to work? (Reboot while pressing the D key.)

  • I can't get into I Cloud with my new Apple ID

    I can't even get into I Cloud settings on my phone.  My I phone keeps pulling up the old Apple ID and asking for that password.  1) the old ID should be deleted and 2) It doesn't recognize the old password.  How do I fix this?

    I had two Apple IDs.  I had used them both but there seemed to be a primary one which was my work email.  I wanted to get rid of that. I was at the Apple Store for a repair on my phone so she put me on the line with customer support and after some wrangling they agreed to delete my work email Apple ID.  I was able to update Itunes for the current Apple ID but when I try to do this on my phone and get into ICloud to change the settings it brings up the deleted Apple ID and asks me for my password.  The old password doesn't work and so now I am stuck.  On the other hand I was able to back up to Icloud with my new Apple ID from my laptop but I am not sure that worked. I clicked back up to I Cloud from my laptop and it seemed to be doing it.  I am confused and don't know what is where. 

  • I'm can't get iMessage to work with all my Apple devices.

    So i cant seem to get iMessage to work across all my Apple devices. My wife and I use the same Apple ID but have different phone numbers. Is there a way to get all our messages on our shared devices and our personal messages on our phones? (iPad, iMac, MacBook Pro: Shared)

    Hi,
    I have this set up with one Mac and two iPhones  (Not Multiple Macs)
    I added the Apple ID to the Mac for iMessages.
    I then added the Apple ID to the first iPhone.
    I accepted the pop ups on the Mac so that the iPhone was Listed in Receive At (you might have to Restart the App on the Mac to trigger this).
    I then added the Apple ID to the Second iPhone and again accepted the pop ups in the Mac.
    IF this is what you think you did but it is not working remove the Apple ID from both iPhones
    Place the iPhones in Airplane mode fro a few minutes to Break with the server.
    when back in normal mode and in Settings > Messages check the iPhone number is ticked and active.
    (Send a Test message to the Apple ID (Mac) to check)
    Add back the Apple ID if the test works.
    Restart the Mac version to trigger the pop ups and Accept.
    Repeat the set up with tests for send iPhone.
    I have never set this up with one ID on two or more computers but it should work.

  • Separate Apple ID= Your own iCloud bubble (doesn't interfere with setting of people with their own Apple ID)

    Pretty much, I want to set up iCloud with my Mac and iPhone. I have my own Apple ID that is different from the rest of my family, if I set up iCloud with my devices, it won't interfere with the rest of my family's settings? This is REALLY important to be certain (my parents will kill me if this messes with their devices.
    Ps. Has anyone found Dream Vacation Solitaire for Mac or something similar?

    If you set up iCloud with a separate Apple ID it will have no effect whatever on any other account.

  • Just get a black screen with my new Apple TV...help?

    Just got my Apple TV 2.0 and connected via HDMI to my Denon AVR-2807 receiver. Assigned the HDMI in accordingly to VCR-2. After switching the Denon input to VCR-2, I get nothing but a black screen...not even an intermittent flicker or startup or logo? No video or audio signal whatsoever. Light on front of Apple TV is solid white. Can anyone help? I am assuming I need to do the Apple TV update that a few of you have mentioned but how do I do this when I can't even pull up a menu? Would appreciate your input.

    Is your TV telling you anything else besides just a black screen? It sounds like you have a great TV and aTV should be able to send a signal to it.
    Unplug the aTV and plug it in again. Any improvement? Any chance you can check it out on another TV, perhaps with component outputs?
    One thing to check: Follow the user guide information on how to change video modes. This means using the Apple Remote to adjust the output. My TV (a 4.5-year-old DLP widescreen that only does 720p actual) showed "Video mode not supported" until I adjusted aTV to output 720p.
    If those suggestions don't get you anywhere, you will probably have to exchange it.

  • Why does my phone automaticlly connect with the closest wii fi? How can I get it to stay with my own wii fi in my home instead of my neighbor's?

    Help! My phone keeps connecting with wi-fi other than my own. When I am in my bedroom, for example, it tries to connect with my neighbor's wi-fi. It only started doing this recently.

    Have the phone "forget" the neighbor's wifi SSID.

  • HT201209 Want to set up my children's IPad's with their own Apple ID.  Trying to set up yahoo accounts and it will not allow me to do this.  I wan them only to be able to purchase from rdeemed gift cards but it keeps asking me to update credit card info

    Want to create Apple ID for both my children's IPad's.  Tried creating new email account for my son and it will not let me.  I want them to be only able to purchase from redeemed gift cards and everytime it asks me to update credit card info on their Ipad.

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

  • How can I get the AirPlay information box to stop floating around my screen while looking at photos?

    How can I get the AirPlay information box to stop floating around my screen while looking at photos?

    Thanks for answering
    Well, the CS2 was my 1st full program that now my son is using in his new Laptop...
    The CS4 Master Collection is my full program that I bought when I was in College course and now I use for my own works...
    Both came in their own serial numbers and discs ... I install both completely to each computer but at the end on the registration asked for this "Validation code" and the message says that I can't do it on-line nor by mail; so to call to this phone 1-800-833-6687 and in there have the message to come to the "support " Adobe website and do all this going around.
    Now I saw previously that page you send me... I really don't understand it ... I got CS2 installed but I just need the validation code to get rid of that 30 days message...
    Why I have to uninstall it??? Could you explain me please..
