Control video wirelessly from Macbook

I would like to control video on a television wirelessly from my macbook. I basically want to control playback on a television during a short film shoot. In a perfect world I would use iMovie so that I could easily scroll to and from some very specific points in the video depending on continuity during filming. And then, of course, it would play on the tv. We are looking for a real quick, no hassle, way of controlling this video.
Will Apple TV wirelessly put what is on my macbook screen onto the television?????? If this were the case I could sync from iMovie and then play iMovie in full-screen mode and see it on the tv.
That was long and wordy but I am looking for any suggestions that could help.

no appleTV won't do this... appleTV allows you to access iTunes media (movies, music and online radio) wirelessly though an interface that appears on your TV...
in addition you can play music from iTunes on you computer through the appleTV to you stereo system but there is no synonymous thing with video.
but it sounds like you are really looking for a wireless video streaming solution... price depends on the quality of video you require

How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...

how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...

most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application). Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad. Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ... Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

Best way to send files like photos wireless from Macbook to iPhone/Ipad? And Then vice versa?

What are the ways to send files like photos wireless from Macbook to iPhone/Ipad? And Then vice versa?

Just one comment on this:
‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs.

Can anyone help. I have been able to print on this printer for months, then yesturday out of the blue I get this error.

I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
(with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
Enter a name for your computer.
Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer

Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer using wireless router.
I am having trouble setting this up? help? suggestions?

> Printer is showing its location as a direct connection via USB
But it's on the PC right ? So it's a shared network printer with a Spooler (this is how it should be configured using Prnter Setup Utility ...)
> If I click to run dic utility there are no clickable options... only lists calculate image checksum.
Once Disc Utility is launched, select your local hard drive then the [Repair Permissions] button bottom left will light up.

Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530 get message printer offline

Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530, get error message that "printer is offline"
Thanks for the help.

Hey @Geneferg,
Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. Because your printer shows connected on the Wireless Test Report, I am going to have you run some standard Mac troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve this issue.
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
First, it's important to have a nice clean slate to work with. Therefore, I am going to have you remove and uninstall the software and drivers for your HP Envy.
To start, can I please have you click here and run through the steps on how to Reset the Print System for your computer. Please run through the steps on 'Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X v10.5.x or 10.6.x'. This will remove every printer from your computer. However, this does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, if you use other printers on your Mac computer simply ensure that the printer is connected through the USB Cable or network connected and (+) add the printer back in via the Print & Scan window. Do not add your HP Envy back in at this time.
Next, please click here and follow through with the uninstall steps under the 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' dropdown.
Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
Once the website opens, select the Download button on the top left
Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to reinstall your wireless printer
Once your printer has been successfully reinstalled please test the printing function again to verify if the 'offline' issue has been resolved.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

Video out from MacBook Pro to HDTV - no solution?

I've had this problem for over a year now and nobody has been able to help me solve it, not even the Apple guys. I need to get the video out from my MacBook Pro (Mini DisplayPort) to my HDTV which is an older model which only has Y/Pb/Pr analogue video inputs. Does anyone know which connectors I can use in order to get 1080i on my TV? My thoughts were MDP to VGA first so that we get an analogue signal, and then VGA to Y/Pb/Pr? Would this work? Why/why not? Please help!!!

See whether this sounds like it might be the answer:

Printing wirelessly from Macbook?

I have a new Macbook, a desktop HP PC (about 6 months old), an HP photo printer, and a Linksys Wireless router. The printer is hooked up to the PC and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to configure the printer so that I would be able to print to it wirelessly from the Macbook. I tried to call HP support the other day and all I managed to find out so far from them is that my printer is out of warranty and that it is wireless capable. They told me I needed to call the Mac support desk, who was closed by then. I thought I'd try here before calling again. Any ideas?

I have an HP printer hooked up to an iMac with a macbook that can access the printer wirelessly through the network. With the iMac there is a setting in the Sharing of the preferences to share the printer, so I would assume that somewhere in windows there would be a similar setting that you could turn on and allow Printer sharing over the network.
It has been a while since I have really used Windows but I assume there is something somewhere in the control panel.

Can't make video calls from macbook air to iPad2

I'm trying to do video calls from my Macbook Air to my sister's iPad2. I am living in the Philippines and my sister is from Australia.
Is there any issues about its location? I tried to find a solution in Google then I found out we should change the dns server to 8.8.8.8, but unfortunately its not working at all.
Any advise?
Thanks

You're welcome.
Assuming your sister's iPad is connected to an available wi-fi network as well, has she had problems doing a FaceTime call with anyone else in Australia or elsewhere?

Problem Printing Wirelessly from MacBook to Epson Stylus NX530

I have been using an Epson Stylus NX530 wireless printer for 8 months or so without issue. However, over the last couple of weeks, I can't print as usual. I can print things from my iPhone, but nothing from my MacBook. When I go to the printer queue for the print job, it says there is a connection error. I used to be able to check the ink levels, but now it says that "information unavailable".
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer in the system preferences, including "printer reset" (control + click printer list) multiple times to no avail. I have tried checking network connections on the printer and everything seems to work (hence, the abilitiy to print from my iPhone). I have gone to Safari and tried to connect via bonjour (it "sees" the printer, but is unable to connect).
I've even tried to use the network utility program (using a Time Capsule as my router) to ping the printer, but was unsuccessful. I have a felling that there is some type of network issue. I am not a network person, so I'm a little apprehensive of messing around with any settings.
Please help! My wife is a teacher and really needs to get our printer running again.
Thanks in advance.

Well, after the Apple Store genius said the time capsule works fine in the store (of course), I got an Airport Express "just in case". After have same issues with the TC when I got home, I installed the AE as the main wifi router which has reestablished the lost internet and wireless printing to ALL devices/computers (yeah!).
I'm now trying to hookup the Time Capsule to the AE to be able to use our Time Machine backups again.
I have configured the connection as follows: wall > modem > IN: WAN connection on Airport Extreme > OUT: LAN connection on Airport Extreme > IN: "To Internet" conncetion on Ooma (VOIP phone box) > OUT: "Home Network" on Ooma > IN: WAN connection on Time Capsule.
All devices have solid green "all is good" lights on. Wi-fi internet is working on all 3 MacBooks, 2 iPhones and 1 iPad. All 6 can print wirelessly again.
Any tips for configuring the TC to access the TM backups I have already?
Thanks again.

Faxing Wirelessly from MacBook Pro; Yosemite 10.10.1

I have an HP OfficeJet 6700, and wirelessly fax the files from my MacBook Pro.
This morning, I was informed that I had to update the driver, which I did. Now, I cannot find the function to fax files that I have on my computer via a wireless connection with my HP OfficeJet 6700.
Before, it used to be easy. There was a fax driver for the HP, which I easily could find listed among my printers.

• Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
• Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
• * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
• Click uninstall.
Reset Printing System
1. Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.

4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
5. Type the correct Name and Password.
6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected

No video output from MacBook Air micro DVI to Polaroid HDTV via DVI to HDMI

Grrr! What's going on? The Apple online store finally sent me a micro DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI to HDMI adapter cable as well as headphone output to RCA adapter cables (for separate audio, since DVI will not transmit audio) and I hooked it up and - NOTHING! When I initialize the appropriate input setting on the Polaroid 27"HDTV the MacBook Air seems to get some sort of query signal as its screen flickers for a moment and turns to a grey screen for a couple seconds but then, that's it! Nothing! The Polaroid's screensaver remains and no signal, audio or video, is transmitted. Now, the micro DVI to DVI adapter is Apple proprietary so I don't think it is a DRM related issue where the chip might block the video signal coming out of the MacBook Air. The longer, DVI to HDMI adapter cable is by Belkin. Am I overlooking something? Could the new 27" Polaroid HDTV not be compatible with DRM protocol? I don't think so since all digital TVs equipped with an HDMI input are supposed to have DRM compatibility built in. What gives?

Well, BSteely, where to begin? After my extensive discussions with more than one support engineer at Apple in Toronto as well as in Austin an interesting picture is emerging. Seems that I'd omitted a few things: First, I was not trying to display HD content but rather standard definition content. Second, I made the mistake hoping for an elegant and easy solution in hookup via HDMI (new flatscreens don't even have a DVI port anymore) - bad mistake! As one of the technicians put it, HDMI is an "unsettled" platform when it comes to HDCP, currently in version 1.4 , meaning, I should have tried VGA instead, a "settled" platform after all. Now, whether this will work remains to be seen because I don't have a micro DVI to VGA adapter yet but suffice to say that in essence I've been getting the message from Apple that, yes, the MacBook Air will - in the near future - support HDCP, but for now it does not contain the necessary software simply because HDMI is in its forth incarnation; plus, as they put it, Apple can't be responsible for testing compatibility with every single HD television set on the market - while it is true that there are thousands in existence, at the same time there are only four versions of HDMI with different HDCP specs! So, while I may be partially answering my own query here, it seems that Apple at this point is not particularly eager to make this software available because they rather would like to sell their new displays with the micro DVI ports instead of us endusers being able to hook the computer video signal up to just ANY monitor or TV. In the end, it is my hope that they will reconsider and not forget who their customers are, maybe after the Christmas season....

Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks

I cannot get my new MacBook Pro (using OSX Mavericks) to communicate with my HP Officejet4500 Wireless. I can print when I use a connecting USB cable, but cannot print wirelessly. All of my Mac software updates are current as of 4/20/2014, which included an update for HP printers. When I used the disk to install the printer software, it did not have a screen for entering my wireless router ID or passcode. In the Mac System Preferences for Print and Scan, my Officejet 4500 G510n-z is listed, but to no avail. What do I have to do to get my Mac to print wirelessly? Thanks.

OK, thanks for that. It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test. Is the printer connected to the network? If it is not:
a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
3. Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
