Computer won't appear on apple tv.

I've set up my apple tv but I can't get my computer to pair with it. Isn't apple tv used to watch whatever is on my computer on my tv? I'd like to see my computer screen on my tv. How can I do that?

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).

  • HT4437 All my events in iPhoto won't appear on Apple TV.  In fact, only one event is shown.  How do I get an iPhoto event displayed on Apple TV?

    How do I get iPhoto events viewed on Apple TV?

    To choose which photos to show on your Apple TV
    File > HomeSharing > Choose Photos to share with Apple TV
    The dialogue box that opens lets you select what photos to send over

  • New IMAP account won't appear on Apple Mail and yet wipes server

    I have a problem with Apple Mail and a new IMAP account I've created.
    I have one IMAP account (mail@*.com) which works fine and then recently I created a second IMAP account on that same server (property@*.com). I copied the details from the server to Apple Mail and yet as soon as I set up the account on Apple Mail then the test mails I send vanish from the server and do not show up in Apple Mail. When I remove that account on my Apple Mail then I can send messages to via webmail which show up on the server again.
    Similarly when I use Thunderbird as my mail client then the property@*.com IMAP mail shows up fine.
    Is there some conflict with having two IMAP accounts from the same server? is there any way I can get round that - set up an alias to have my property mail hived off to a different account / or even folder?
    I would appreciate help... although I notice that 4 out of 5 of my last posts didn't get answered...

    It's a bad idea to post your email addresses - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Moderators to remove them.

  • My hard drive crashed on my apple computer recently. I have a new one, but it won't sync with apple tv1, and I want to retrieve my photos from teh appletv1. It appears in devices now, but won't let me go any further with it. Help

    The hard drive crashed on my apple computer and I lost a lot of photos. I want to recover them from my apple tv1, but the computer won't seem to pair up with the apple tv. The Apple tv does appear in devices, but it won't let me go any further. The 'apply' button is a pale grey colour and you can't click on it. Help!!

    there is no facility to recover your photos from the appletv.
    the only way to link the appletv to your new "system" is to remove the existing itunes link and then link it to the new itunes - this will delete all content from the appletv though.

    Hello there, TempestBelcher.
    It seems you've covered all the bases, but feel free to review the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for connectivity here:

    If you've followed all the instructions then there are a few good recommendations for what to do next in the last step.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Firmware update progress bar appears and computer won't start up

    Hi,
    I am on OS X 10.6 (the latest developer build, whose build number I can't remember and can't look up because my computer won't start up) and this morning when I tried to start up my computer, it chimed, the apple appeared but then a grey progress bar (like the one that appears during a firmware update) appeared at the bottom of the screen along with the customary spinner. This progress bar didn't update and after 10-ish seconds, it disappeared and left just the spinner. I left the computer in this state for 4 hours and nothing happened. It still starts up in single user mode (but I can't seem to get Open Firmware mode to load) and it starts Windows XP on another partition of my main HD.
    When I start it in verbose mode, it says that my catalog B-tree has keys out of order and it is unable to repair them. Also, I get an error message from launchctl: "Bug: launchctl.c:2033 (23930):17: auditquickstart() == 0". Then later on it tells me to convert a few system plist files to launchd (all in the /etc/mach_init.d/ folder). The very last line says "launch_msg(): Socket is not connected".
    I would rather not re-install the system, but if I have to, I guess I will. I appreciate any light that anyone can shed on this problem.
    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Yes, they (the third-party utilities) both come on bootable DVD's. As I mentioned, since Snow Leopard was just released in its final version, the developers may be in the process of releasing updates.
    Your situation is likely to be a case where the data corruption issue already existed before installing Snow Leopard, and the installation process made the problem more apparent (because something critical was installed where it was affected by the data issue).
    It is a good idea to run +Repair Disk+ in Disk Utility on the startup volume before installing a major system update. Actually, I do it before any system-level update.
    You should also have a backup (at least of your personal data if not the entire volume), in case something bad happens during a major system upgrade. If you were using Time Machine, the easiest recovery would be to reformat the internal drive and use the Time Machine complete volume restore utility to restore the volume back to the date/time state just before you installed Snow Leopard. Then, after restarting from that restored volume to make sure everything is working, start up from the Snow Leopard installation disc, run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk+ (just to be sure), and run the upgrade to Snow Leopard again.
    If you have a backup of at least your personal data, you may want to reformat the internal drive, install Snow Leopard and bundled apps, install your third-party apps from their original sources, update everything that needs updating, and restore your personal data.
    If you don't have a backup, the best bet is to try either DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro. DiskWarrior is very specialized into repairing this type of data problem. TechTool Pro has similar capability, but it is a more general tool with other features.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

    But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.
