Connect my apple tv with my macbook pro

how can I connect my Apple TV to my macbook pro? When I try to select a blue tooth device I get a message error "there was an error connecting to the device"

It connects over your wifi. If you would like to mirror the display open System Preferences > Display > and ensure that airplay mirroring is set to on. First generation Apple TV's do not work with airplay

    You need a TV.
    The MacBook connects tot eh AppleTV wirelessly.
    The AppleTV is to play iTunes content from your MacBook on a TV.
    "Apple TV gives you access to the best 1080p HD content — including blockbuster movies, hit TV shows, live sports, your music, photos, videos, and more — right on your widescreen TV. You can even play content from your iOS device or Mac on your TV using AirPlay."

  • Is there a compact flash and SDXC card reader with USB3 and or thunderbolt connections that will work with new MacBook Pro retina laptops running OSX Mavericks please?

    Is there a compact flash and SDXC card reader with USB3 and or thunderbolt connections that will work with new MacBook Pro retina laptops running OSX Mavericks please?

    Yes, I too had this problem.
    I was issued an update from Apple for a new version software as well as a new version of Lightrooom and now it shows up on the desktop and in finder as it should.
    MacBook Pro Retina running 10.8.2 (12C54)
    Lightroom running 4.1
    Hope that helps.

  • If possible connect my desktop (mac) with my MacBook Pro like secondary display with thunderbold

    I wnat to  connect my desktop (mac) with my MacBook Pro like secondary display with thunderbold (in the other side is working)

    Hello edolillo,
    It sounds like you are wanting to use your iMac as a secondary display for your MacBook Pro using a Thunderbolt cable. If your iMac is compatible, you may be able to use Target Display Mode, and this article outlines the requirements for it:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924
    Target Display mode Requirements:
    What are the requirements for TDM?
    A Mac notebook or desktop with a Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt connection
    A ThunderBolt or Mini DisplayPort cable 
    A supported iMac with OS X 10.6.1 or later. The table below shows iMac computers that support TDM, the required cables, and the port of the computer to which you are connecting the iMac.

  • The Airplay icon does not show, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?

    The Airplay icon does not show on my Mac Pro, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?

    To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

    I synced my original Apple TV with my MacBook Pro which was stolen.  I now want to get the tunes on my Apple TV to my new macbook pro.  Is that possible?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are referring to the first generation Apple TV, then you cannot sync content which is stored on its hard drive back to iTunes.

  • Will OS X allow me to use the Apple TV with my Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010?

    Will OS X allow me to use the Apple TV with my Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010?

    Yep, I updated. I've had no problems and I like the new OS. However, since my MacBook Pro is pre-2011, I had to downlod Air Parrot to be able to use the MacBook in conjunction with Apple TV. Everything now works well.

    Follow the very. very simple instructions that came with the AppleTV.
    Plug AppleTV in
    Connect it to your TV.
    Turn on AppleTV.
    Launch iTunes on your computer and enable Home Sharing.

  • Cannot connect my powerbook G4 with my MacBook Pro for filesharing

    I was wondering if anyone knew the problem was if when i used MIGRATION ASSISTANT between the two computers and the G4 was not reading on the MacBook Pro. Is there something wrong with my computer or is there some way to fix this?
    When I held down the T button to restart and connect the two, nothing happened.

    Hi peawok
    Can you clarify what it is that you're doing?
    Are you rebooting the Powerbook, holding down T from the moment the screen goes black until (and if) you see the Firewire symbol on its screen? Do you see the symbol?
    Or are you doing the above for the Macbook?
    If you do see the symbol, and you've connected the two with a Firewire cable, do you see the drive of one computer appear on the other's desktop? If not, have you tried a different cable?
    If you're just doing this for filesharing purposes, is there a reason why you can't use an ethernet/wireless network (and use Personal File Sharing under System Preferences - Sharing)?

  • I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

    I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

    yarova818,
    there were two different 23-inch Apple Cinema HD displays made. The first one was made between 2002 and 2004, and has an ADC connector. The second one was made between 2004 and 2008, and has a DVI-D connector.
    If you have the display with an ADC connector, then according to this Apple page, your display will work with your MacBook Pro if it’s a 13-inch or 15-inch model. If you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you’d need an Apple DVI to ADC Adapter (or equivalent) to connect them. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then you’d also need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter (or equivalent) to complete the connection. A Retina model would also have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter to complete the connection with the DVI to ADC adapter.
    If you have the display with a DVI-D connector, then if you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you should be able to plug it in directly. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would let you make the connection. Again, Retina models also would have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter.
