Can you stream files to your TV from your imac using a PS3 or Xbox?

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a mac and I want to know if you can stream media from your mac to a TV via a PS3 or Xbox 360.  I currently have a PC and can do this with no problems, but I think my PC is on it's last legs and I've always wanted to switch over to a mac.  I'd like to stream the files without having to buy apple TV.  Is this possible...any suggestions?
Thanks,
MM

Not yet, no, at least not unless there's third-party software that accomplishes it. AirPlay Mirroring is coming as a feature in Mountain Lion, the next major upgrade to OS X:

    Can you open files on a pc from time machine?

    You have to be more descriptive. Partition what?
    File sharing can be accomplished many ways,.
    Network
    Usb flash drive
    External hard drive
    NAS
    DVDs
    It is as simple as copying/saving from one computer/drive to another computer/drive.

  • Can you access files on OSX system from OS9 system on the same iMac?

    The apple software updater was updating my OSX4.6 to 4.8 but there was not enough disk space so when the window that told me that appeared I just clicked on shutdown. When I try to start my iMac again all I get is the Apple Logo screen with the animated wheel. So I am assuming that the OSX updating screwed up my OSX's ability to boot. Ok - so I thought I would reinstall my original Tiger software but I do not have enough hard disk space to do that. So I booted to OS9 which is still on my iMac and removed what files that I could, but still not enough free space. From OS9 I do not see any of the files that I have on the OSX desktop so that I can delete some of them. Is there some way for me to access the OSX hard disk or desktop files from OS9?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Any files on your OS X desktop are OK to delete, but not the desktop folder itself. That desktop folder is found in your Users -> yourname folder.
    See my FAQ On http://www.macmaps.com/safetodeleteormove.html
    to understand how Mac OS X is structured, so you don't delete something by accident.
    Free up at least 15% of the hard disk before attempting to boot back into Mac OS X. This amount is arbitrary, but has been found to be the best amount of space to use Mac OS X in.

  • Can you access files and edit them from different computers in Creative Cloud?

    I want to understand the workflow we can have. We have three computers and would like to access and edit the same files in Creative Cloud. Can you do this? I understand I may have to purchase two licenses but will this give everyone access to the same files and able to edit and upload files.
    We do this in Dropbox now but with Creative Cloud is sounds like all I can do is share a file for them to comment on, not edit?

    Hi Olivia,
    With Creative Cloud, file editing comes in via downloading Adobe applications with a Creative Cloud membership. While you cannot edit within Creative Cloud, you can share files with your coworkers which can then be downloaded, edited in an Adobe application, and reuploaded to the Cloud.
    Be aware that although you can have two computers activated on the same Creative Cloud membership, you cannot use the same application on two computers simultaneously. A Creative Cloud membership is for one user that can be used on one or more computers.
    You may want to look into the Creative Cloud Team Ready, that targets work environments like yours. You can read more about Team Ready here.
    Hope this helped clarify your questions!

  • Can I stream photos to a PC from my Mac using Photo Stream on Mac?

    Hi, I would like to transfer photos from my Mac to a PC. The photos are not yet on my Mac. I will put them on there after I activate Photo Stream on my Macbook. Is it possible to stream photos from my Mac to a PC if I have Photo Stream activated on my Mac and I download the iCloud Control Panel for PC? Can I get the pictures atuomatically that way or do I have to place them in a special folder? For example, if this is possible and I do upload my pics to my Mac will they immediately stream onto my PC or will they need to be placed in the Photo Stream folder?
    Thanks a lot and I hope I can get an answer to my question!

    I quote:
    Install the iCloud Control Panel if it isn’t already installed on your computer.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel, then turn on Photos.My Photo Stream is set up by default. To turn it off, click Options, then turn off My Photo Stream.
    To change the iCloud Photos location on your computer, click Options. Click Change to choose a folder, then click OK.By default, My Photo Stream is in the Pictures\My Pictures\iCloud Photos folder. Photos are automatically downloaded to your Pictures\My Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream folder, and uploaded from the Pictures\My Pictures\iCloud Photos\Uploads folder.
    Click Apply.
    After you import photos from a digital camera to the upload folder specified in the iCloud Control Panel, the photos appear automatically in My Photo Stream on your other devices set up with My Photo Stream, including your iOS devices, Mac computers, and Apple TV.

  • Facetime? Can u stream FaceTime through your iPad using Apple TV?

  • Can you get newsstand on your iMac or Macbook Pro

    How do you connect ipad to internet if you only have an ethernet cable on your macbook pro ??

    Replacing the hard drive on those models is not user accessible. Doing so yourself could easily damage the Mac and will therefore void your warranty.
    That is why Apple offer upgrades installed by them.

  • Can you stream from BBCi Player using Apple TV?

    Hi All,
    Looking into getting the apple TV for my dad but want to know if it will actually come in handy so please tell me ...
    Can you stream from BBCi Player/ITV Player from laptop to TV via the Apple TV?
    Many Thanks

    I thought that members of this forum may like to see the latest, 10th August 1013,  respons from the BBC -
    Thank you for contacting the BBC iPlayer support team.
    I understand that a previous response from us didn’t resolve an issue you have with the BBC iPlayer, via your Apple TV device.
    Streaming programmes should be able to play using airplay but downloaded programmes are not currently supported on the Apple TV.
    However, we aim to resolve this in a future update to the BBC iPlayer.
    We do appreciate the time taken to report this issue as all feedback received helps us to develop and improve the service.
    Your comments have been used to inform a daily report which is sent to the BBC iPlayer team, including the head of BBC iPlayer.
    Seems we are keeping our fingers crossed that Apple and the BBC will have the same common aim in getting AppleTV to incorporate the iPlayer.

  • Can you stream movies from time machine to apple tv

    Can you stream purchased movies from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV?
    I have both an Apple TV and an Apple Time Machine. Both great devices BUT my internet connection is not great and apparently, the telephone exchange needs to be upgraded in order for it to improve and right now, the phone company has no plans to upgrade the exchange . So, I've bought movies from Apple TV and have downloaded them (using Apple TV) and watched them. They seem to stay on Apple TV for a few days before they need to be downloaded again if I (actually my kids) want to watch the movie again. Problem is, it takes about 15 hours to download a regular movie due to the poor internet connection. My kids don't have that much patience. I know I can download a movie onto my Mac and stream it from there to Apple TV but that means I have to have the Mac available. Since I work at an office and take my MacBook to use at work, it isn't always there for the kids to get their daily Frozen hit. See the issue I face? Apple TV and Apple Tme Machine are great devices. Can they be used in conjunction with one another?
    So, what I was wondering, is it possible to stream from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV, i.e. use Time Machine to store your movies for Apple TV?
    Thanks
    Philip

    No.
    Time Machine is an application.
    Time Capsule is hardware (what you have).
    As suggested, you download them to iTunes and they will work fine on the AppleTV.

    Yes but you need a computer running iTunes.

  • Can you stream Netflix from an iPad to Apple TV?

    Hi,
    We have a relatively small TV set and sit relatively far away from it. Therefore making Netflix choices with Apple TV and remote is difficult, since the print is too small. It would be way easier to make Netflix choices with the iPad on my lap, and have the iPad stream the movie to ATV.
    Airplay works well with Apple apps like iTunes & iPhoto, but does it work with non Apple apps? If so, how does one get it to work?
    Thanks,
    Klaus

  • Can you stream music from an iphone to the bluray over the wifi?

    Can you stream music from an iphone to the Sony Bluray model BDV-E770W over the wifi?

    Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
    No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.
