Direct Connection to apple TV via wireless?

Hi All,
I have an 160gb Apple TV or order. I currently don't have my own network. Would it be possible to create a wireless network on my MacBook Pro and then use the Apple TV to connect to that network? Will iTunes then recognize it and sync?
Would be grateful for any input
Cheers!!

Yes, you can use your tv with an Ad Hoc network set up from your mac, I have a network so I'm probably not the best to guide you through it should you have any problems though.

Unable to connect to Deskjet 3545 via Wireless Direct from Windows 8.1 laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad E530)

Hi, It's a newly bought printer. I am unable to connect to the printer via Wireless Direct from Windows 8.1 64bit laptop. I have enabled the Wireless Direct with security on the Printer. Connected to the Printer SSID from my laptop wifi. Created the new printer from Driver software. It discovers the printer with it's name,IP etc; Upon selecting the printer and click on 'Next' button on the screen, results in a 5 min search process and finally displays that it could not connect. I have tried pinging the printer and it's able to pingf the IP of the printer successfully. I have even tried disabling the Norton antivirus, but result is the same. regards,sathwik

Make sure that the Att Modem goes to the netgear router via ethernet cable. Then connect your Apple Tv with a ethernet cable to the back of the net gear router. Airplay wants it to both be connected to the same device, usually.

Connecting MacBook to printer via wireless network

I have a wireless network via cable modem with some PCs attached and a printer but am having trouble connecting my new MacBook to the HP LaserJet 2100 printer via wireless. I do not have airport express and not sure I need it to have the MacBook print to this printer. Please advise.

Hi topgunner,
How is the printer connected? Are you trying to share it via a PC through wireless? Or is it connected directly to a router/hub that is enabled for printer sharing?

IPhone or iPad won't connect to Apple TV via Remote App

I am trying to connect to my ATV2 via the remote app on my iPad2 iOS 5.1.1 and a 3Gs with 5.1.1 and I can not get it to see my ATV2 at all. I have rebooted it and rebooted both the phone and iPad multiple times and it still won't connect. Funny thing is, I have a Galaxy S 3 and can use the AppleTVMedia app from the Play store and can connect to my ATV2 just fine!! Wouldn't it be eaiser for the Apple products to connect to Apple Products??? Anyone have any idea on what I can do to get my iOS devices to connect to my ATV2?

Figured out my Apple TV issue. It had to do with how I had it networked. I guess it doesn't like Ethernet over Power line anymore. When I have WiFi on the remote app works fine on my iOS devices. But when I plug in the Ethernet cable it doesn't see it on the remote app. I know its not my Ethernet over power line adapter because other things attached to it work just fine.
Gonna try and do a firmware update to see if that will help.

Can't connect to Apple TV via airplay

Hello I have a 2011 Macbook pro and a iphone 5 and for some reason they won"t connect to my apple tv via airplay. They see it and I can access my itunes library through apple tv but airplay simple times out. Any thoughts?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Why can't I connect to my 3520 via wireless?

I have a HP Deskjet 3520, and I am running on Windows 7/64 bit.
I have been able to setup my printer through the USB, and I have been able to get my printer connected to the same network, and have setup e-print even. However, I cannot connect to my printer via the wireless, and my iphone cannot detect it through the e-print app.
I have tried turning odf firewalls, re-installing, turning of every part of the chain (ie laptop, printer, router...)
I even tried to connect through my MacBook, and still, I can only "see" it through the USB, even though the printer has an IP address and is able to receive documents through e-print.
Is this a known issue?

Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

How can I connect my OS 10.6.8 MacBook to Apple TV via wifi

Hello nikmark74
You would need to setup Home Sharing to get media that is on your computer to your Apple TV. To get connect to the internet, go to Settings > General > Network and select your Wi-Fi network. The article below will assist you further.

Connect to PC Companion via Wireless

Hi everyone, I have a SE XPERIA X10. I don't use PC Companion often enough just because, whenever I want to connect to my pc, I need to get the micro USB to do that. PC Companion offers connection via wireless for only 4 phones (3 models). XPERIA Arc, Play and neo. Why won't they do that for all XPERIA phones? Not even for X10 (which was much more expensive that Arc!). They all do offer wireless connection and can't seem to find the reason they won't let you connect that way. Any suggestions? Do the guys at SE ever see these posts and questions? Do they ever answer?

I know you do and I hate it (having to disconnect the USB from my charger each time I wonna connect to my PC). I just wish they improve it at least with the possibilities the And.2.3 will have. Maybe they 'll add it up the

Connecting two EA6500 routers via wireless bridge

Hi, I want to know how can we bridge two EA6500 routers via wireless. I do not want to use the lan cable. Please help.
Thanks,
anandp

This setup is not possible. You can only cascade the routers via wired connection. The access points on these routers are mainly transmitters, they're not receivers so you can't associate them wirelessly. You can, however, get a wireless bridge to do the job. Check out the Dual Band N Entertainment Bridge WET610N and Wireless N Universal Media Connector WES610N.

Both my apple TV and iTunes on my mac are turned on. My apple TV shows that it cannot connect to Apple, while the wireless network is working

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you trying to connect to iTunes on your mac/PC or the iTunes store.

Laserjet 200 will print via wireless direct but intermittently (once) via wireless network

Tried various troubleshooters on Hp and Apple websites to get this working consistently.
Installed new drivers for OSX Yosemite 10.10 - thought all would work fine as went through installing, printing test page etc. Then printer becomes unavailable - although it is on the list of printers.
Same thing has happened variuos times after re-installing it.
Will print directly via USB and wireless direct - but I want to print via the wireless network.
tried all the usual things - making sure on the right wireless network, restarting everything etc.
Using an airport router - are there some settings on this that may be causing an issue - odd though as will print once when initially connected to the wireless network.
Any ideas?

Hi @iphonebore,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Laserjet 200 M267NW will not stay connected to your wireless network running Mac OS X 10.10. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
Please see the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print. (Follow the steps for Mac OS X 10.7, and 10.8, as they will work on 10.10.)
Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection. (This will help you with maintaining the wireless connection.)
As well, please see this post, Incoming and Outgoing Printer Ports, by @VisionAiry, and verify that none of these ports are being blocked by your router.
One more place for some more wireless printing information is our HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues website.
Hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting!

Can iPad3 connect to Apple TV via Airplay, and Bluetooth speaker at the same time?

I'm making a best man speech using Keynote at a wedding tomorrow, for which I need audio as well as video. The Apple TV is connected via HDMi to the projector, and I can control the presentation wirelessly from my iPad. So far so good. There is a Bluetooth-enabled speaker which my iPad can connect to via Bluetooth, but then it loses the Airplay connnection to the Apple TV. Is there a work around? I guess if I had an Airplay-enabled speaker and not a Bluetooth enabled one, I'd be OK, but I don't have time to go buy one now.
It appears my only option if I want to use the speaker (which I do), is to use my MacbookPro instead and connect via HDMI straight into the projector and bypass the Apple TV altogether. Which means I'm stuck standing by the macbook pressing SPACE BAR every time I want to change slides, as opposed to using the iPad wirelessly which lets face it would look far cooler!

Pretty sure you can't route the audio via bluetooth and the headphone jack.

Connecting to Time Capsule via wireless and uverse

Here is my setup: I have Uverse and a Time Capsule. I have Uverse creating a wireless network, the TC plugged in via ethernet cable to Uverse and set in bridge mode. The TC is also creating a wireless network. I can use any device to connect to the wireless of either the Uverse or TC without any problems.
When trying to access the harddrive on the TC from a windows machine I can be on either the Uverse or the TC wireless network and connect without issue. If IM on my MAC I can connect via any of the wireless options, but I can only access the TC Harddrive (via Finder) if Im connected to the TC wireless network, if Im on the UVERSE network then the TC says connection failure.
Same goes for accessing the airport util on the MAC. It can see the TC and change the settings when on the TC network, but not if on the Uverse network.
Am I doing something wrong or is this just how the MAC is set to view/handle the TC?
Thank you, Erich

There is a difference between the default domain of the Uverse and the TC.
There is also issues perhaps with ipv6 which is now important to access and use the TC.
Do you have ipv6 set to link-local on the computer? This is crucial.
Also try netstat scan from network utility (hidden now in Mavericks so just type network in the search in finder)
Do the scan and see what you come up with when connected to either box.
For Mavericks.. I think sticking to short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric helps.
You can see the domain of the apple routers here is local. When the Mac gets an IP from the Apple router it will also pick up the domain.. so you can see my mini has local also as domain.. When it gets the IP from the Uverse it might not get a domain at all.. or it might be something else.
Anyway it gives you a few things to look at.
Try manually mounting the TC disk even if you still fail to get a connection using the Go, Connect to server from top menu in finder.
Use AFP://TCname.local or even better. AFP://TCIPaddress (where you replace with actual name or actual IP address)
