Connecting to an apple TV

My brother has airport on his new iMac but he has no wifi network, He connects directly to the ethernet.
Could he connect to his apple TV by creating a computer to computer network in his airport configurations ?
Yves

I have just tried it by setting up a "computer to computer" network on my MacBook, (in addition to the separate ethernet network it connects to the internet on).
The AppleTV did not see the wireless network, although it saw other wireless networks.
Also, have created a computer to computer network on an iMac, which is also connected to to the internet via an ethernet modem. No luck - appletv did not see it (although it does see networks belonging to neighbours!).

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

    Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.

    Restarting MacBook Pro, Apple TV and WiFi router could solve the problem.

  • How can I resolve the issues connecting to my wireless connection with my Apple tv?

         Ive had my Apple tv for about a month now & I still have not even used it for what I actually got it for. It allows me to use the airplay feature with my ipad2. But when I try to use the home sharing feature it never connects with my apple ID. At first I thought that maybe I'm just typing it the wrong way, but then I used the same ID and password to purchase an app on my iphone & it works. It's not my wireless connection because multiple devices connect to it just fine, without any issues. I tried reseting it, that obviously didnt work. I really just dont know what else to do.

    you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
    if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

  • I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone.

    I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone. The iPhone4 shows the songs are not supported and on the Windows Machine the songs do not play completely. Can anyone advice what could have gone wrong ? Because rest of the devices are synced to MacBook and they are able to sync the content normally.  I have even subscribed to iTunes Match but the problem is still not fixed.

    Firstly...  a little Clarity...
    Devices refer to iDevices... iPod... iPhone... iPad. ..   Not Computers.
    Authoriation applies ONLY to Computers... of which there is a Limit of 5 per Apple ID.
    If the issue is with iTunes on your Windows Computer... Perhaps you need to Re-install iTunes...

  • How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections.    The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

    How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections?  The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

    The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it.  Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.)  It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
    You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad.  If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350.  Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

    I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. But now I don't know how to show the Ipad screen on the PC, as if it was a monitor / screen, so that I can then use Lync and share my PC screen with people virtually.
    Thanks for any help! Regards

    Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help!  Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
    Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
    Do I need a cable too and which one?
    Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

  • How can I find out what email is connected to my apple ID account

    Trying to download an app onto my iphone but can't remember my password. tried to retrieve my password but nothing has been sent to my email. tried several times. is there anyway to see what email is connected to my apple ID account?
    I've tried all of them but my wife set up my phone and I'm lost. (it's not going to her email address either)
    help? I can't do anything with my phone without my apple ID password!
    (PS. Posting this from my son's account. As I cannot create one without my apple ID password. lol)

    None of my email addresses. Which makes me think it was entered incorrectly originally.
    When I tried to answer the security questions it asks my birthdate and then asks "answer your secret question"
    I have no idea what that question is. Lol. Like I said, my wide set this up with me and neither of us can remember what question was asked. It was a year ago.
    If I knew what email they sent my password to I could figure tho out and re set the password.
