Connecting Apple TV Through My iMac

Hi,
I would like to connect my Apple TV through my iMac rather than directly through my router. Either wired, WIFI or using Bluetooth?
Is it possible to share the internet connection via my iMac this way?
...jono...

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately not.

Trying to connect apple tv through a wireless public hotel connection.

Hi
Im trying to connect Apple TV to a DataProjector in a conference room, connect it to the net via a wireless public hotel network. Then take photos at predinner drinks so they appear in the conference room via photo stream with the ATV screen saver.
ATV is telling me its connected to the hotel public network with a strong signal strenght. But I cant login to my Icloud account saying its unavailable and try later. Same thing with itunes account. From this I'm assuming its connected but Im being blocked by the hotel as I need to enter a password. So where do I enter the password?
Can anyone help here?

Scratch that, It wasnt connected through the hotel network because I tested connecting through personal hotspot on the iphone and everything came alive.

Connecting Apple TV 2 to iMac

Is there any way that i would be able to use my imac an external display for my apple tv 2?? i belive i have the right wires to do it but am unable to navigate settings on the imac to get it to work.
Hope someone can help
George

Thanks for the reply and I appologise for not getting back sooner, been away.
It seems that the iMac requires a reboot for any network changes to take effect, at least that is the experience here.
I have a My Book attached to the iMac via usb which is accessable by apple tv and the imac, it is formated in NTFS. It will not show up on the Macbook air, no matter what username and PW is sign on with.
Thanks.

Connecting apple tv through older receiver to older tv

I have an older (9 years) Yamaha a/v receiver and (same older) Pioneer Elite plasma tv. Neither has hdmi. I am attempting to connect to the receiver via optical cable for sound and RGB (component) connectors for video. I am going through the "D-TV" (digital tv) component hook-ups on the receiver. I get no picture.
I have tried apple's suggestion of changing the video mode ("menu" and "+" on the remote) to no effect.
The receiver and tv function fine in all other respects.
Is there something I am missing?
All sugestions gladly accepted!

The Apple TV doesn't output in RGB, its component signals are YCbCr. However, I suspect that your TV is also expecting YCbCr so this isn't the likely problem (i.e. it's just a mistake in your terminology). In any case, if your plasma TV supports only RGB then the YCbCr signals won't work without an color space converter.

Connecting apple tv through stereo receiver

I just bought apple tv and wanted to know if it's possible to connect it through my HDMI stereo receiver instead of directly through my tv. I ask this because I don't want to have to take the tv off the wall and feed cables through the wall unless I have to. Thanks.

I have the apple tv connected to HDMI input 2 on the stereo receiver and set the tv to HDMI 2. what do i need to set the stereo receiver to?
Assuming that your TV is connected to the HDMI output of your receiver, you just need to figure out how to route HMDI 2 to the HDMI Output. How to do this depends on the receiver. You should search for forums that are specific your model to get more detailed help.

Comcast connection.watching TV through 2012 IMAC 27, is that possible?

Would like to know what is required to connect to Comcast cable connector, currently have a cable wire to the computer , but DVR is in another room.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

While there are devices to convert HDMI to mini-displayport as mentioned in that article, no matter what they say, don't get your hopes up of connecting a cable company settop box to your imac, if these devices are legal that is.
Two possible reasons why this cannot be done. First is because of HDCP compliance. And if you can get around that the second one you cannot because you cannot attach a mini-displayport source to a thunderbolt imac (presumably running in target display mode).
You could, however, look at the Elgoato products to allow HD input to your imac from an over the air antenna or Elgato's sevice. The best you can hope for from your set top box is non-HD component, composite, or s-video. Elgato also makes products for that.

Connected Apple CD drive to iMac, want to copy CDs to iTunes. CDs ejected but doesn't load in iTunes???

Want to copy CDs to iTunes library. (Elected not to transfer files from old Mac OS 10.5.8)
CD loaded into drive, ran, then ejected but nothing loaded into iTunes? What am I missing?

I did set iTunes Preferences, and tried different selections. Nothing works. By process of elimination, I think it probably is the CD drive.
The work-around, I've loaded selections from my older Mac via flash drive. Now that I think about it, that is a better choice since I'm only transferring the songs that I actually want from the old CDs rather than the entire albums.
Thanks for your advice!

Unable to connect to Netflix through Apple TV (ATV-ui62)

I can connect to Netflix through my iMac but unable to connect via ATV, any suggestions? I've done both hard and soft resets of ATV to no avail and rebooted router. I have a 3rd Generation ATV.

I have the same issue, but I'm not using a VPN. I can also watch netflix on my Macbook Pro or on my iPad Air. If I try to Airplay netflix from my iPad to the AppleTV (2d gen) it will pop up a message saying an error has occurred, I can though, Airplay through my Macbook but only because I'm using the browser to stream the Netflix content.
Maybe it is the Geographical thing.
Any help is appreciated.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A FRIEND WHO IS USING APPLE NOTEBOOK FROM MY IMAC SUGGEST ME WAITING FOR A SOLUTION FROM APPLE TEAM SUPPORT

Hi,
Typing in all upper case is regarded and shouting here.
Presumably as you have posted in the OS X 10.7.x (Lion) area you are running this version of the OS on your iMac.
This will have iChat 6 on it.
This can use AIM, Jabber and Yahoo IDs within the app.
Apple IDS ending in @mac.com and iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com are also Valid AIM Screen Names.
If you use Googlemail and Enable "talk" in the products there you can then use your Google Mail ID as a Jabber ID (although it has it's own Add Account option in iChat)
Facebook has an option to Enable "Chat" which will give you a Chat ID variant on your name there and this can be used in iChat (or Messages) as a Jabber ID.
The Yahoo Account will only do Text chats.
It also has to be an actual ID registered at Yahoo.
Chats are then AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber or Yahoo to Yahoo.
So your Buddy will also need a suitable ID or Screen Name for the relevant service.

Connect apple tv to imac

How can I connect an Apple TV to my iMac mid 2011, 21.5 inch?
Thanks a ton for your help

If you're asking about home-sharing, enable in iTunes on the iMac and on ATV in the settings. Make sure your computer is on and running iTunes. The ATV will see your library.

How can I connect Apple TV to iMac with ethernet

AppleCare told me to plug the Apple TV into the iMac using ethernet to transfer the iTunes content faster with less glitches. But how do I see the Apple TV screen on my iMac to configure it??? When I connect Apple TV using ethernet, nothing appears on the iMac screen.

This only applies if you have a first generation Apple TV. Also I hope you have a router and are not connecting the ATV directly to the iMac.
Usually I sync my First Generation Apple TV wirelessly, but sometimes I'll have some huge media files I want to sync on it which can take a long time. In those cases all you do is connect your Apple TV via ethernet cable to the same router your iMac is connected to. Don't worry about it not being connected to a tv because all you are going to do is SYNC your Apple TV. If you do not see your Apple TV in iTunes, turn off the Apple TV, and quit iTunes. Then turn on the Apple TV first, wait a minute and then start iTunes. Once iTunes sees the Apple TV, manage your content, then sync it.
Once the Apple TV has completed its sync, quit iTunes. Unplug your Apple TV, and then put the device back by the TV you want to enjoy the content on.
I have done such a thing a few times and it works flawlessly.
