Does airplay work for streaming videos on macbook pro ?

I got the 2011 13'' macbook pro, and at the moment, I don't have a tv, which I usually use netflix on but I moved. How can I take advantage of my home theater speakers which are about 10 feet in front of me while watching netflix on my macbook pro other then getting a super long audio cable.

Thanks for all the replies.
Okay so this morning i called apple support, and i told them I think my hard drive is failing and the problems I've been having.
Told him i ran the techtool cd that comes with the apple protection box, and did research online and told them what the community thought of my issue. Although he didn't seem to impressed about what the community said lol.
So he told me to boot up using the leopard CD to run a disk repair utility. Upon trying to run the utility it failed, so he said it does seem to be a hard drive problem and to take it into an apple store to see what they can do for me. Now after i got off the phone with him, i went to restart my mac so i can start backing up the data and guess what?
It wouldn't boot anymore after trying to run the disk repair!!! Luckily a day ago, i backed up my data because I was afraid of my hard drive failing lol. Good thing i did!!!
So 2 hours later i went into the apple store that was packed with shoppers, and was actually able to make an appointment with a mac genius in under 10 minutes lol. He asked me what was happening, and look at my laptop.
And well, they replaced the entire laptop .
I've brought the laptop home and after installing leopard on a clean install, I ran the techtool again and received no errors!!!!
So now im reinstalling all the programs into my new mac
Thank you for all your replies.

  • QT 7.2.0 PRO DOES NOT WORK FOR STREAMING MOVIES

    Hello, guys! How is it going in Appleland? I have a problem playing or viewing streaming movies ever since I have upgraded to QT 7.2.0 pro. The sound works, but no freakin movie viewing. Any suggestions on how to make this work? I have never, ever had this problem before. I am so upset, especially paying for pro! I did have pro of the previous version of QT, but those keys are not for version 7, so I had to pay for it again. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

    "From another posting - the fix is to delete the file HD>Library>Internet Plugins>QuickTime plugin.webplugin and leave just QuickTime Plugin.plugin in there. It appears that this only affects some people. Hope it works for you."
    The above post worked for me. I had the same issue. Quit Quicktime, Safari, delete the pref mentioned and try again.

  • HT204291 Airplay skips when streaming from my Macbook Pro

    Hey!
    Im finding ever since i recently purchased my newest Apple Tv unit that whenever i stream from my macbook (mirroring) it skips, both audio and video. I have several other apple tv devices throughout the house and they all work fine when doing the same thing. The device with the problem is located in my living room, perhaps 4 metres from the wireless internet station. Its the closest in proximity out of all the apple tv's.
    Any help resolving this issue would be great! If theres is any details that i need to provide just let me know.
    Thanks.

    Hello!
    You have a box you can check over at: "Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays"
    "show mirroring options in the menu bar when available"
    Here's the manual from Apple: About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
    If that's not the solution: try unplugging all your routers/modems/extenders, etc from power for a minuten and plugging them back in. Sometimes routers 'think' you have a new machine after upgrading the OS and erroneously block it from some network communication ports.

  • Streaming video from Macbook Pro to 46 inch LCD

    I am trying to stream video from my 13 inch Macbook Pro to my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV. I am using a HDMI cable to a DVI cable to attach the computer. When I play videos from iTunes, the picture looks great, however when I am streaming video from an internet site such as Netflix, the picture is not great (it almost looks pixilated). I am wondering, is this an issue with my computer (video card, etc) or does it have to do with my internet connection (I currently have the lower DSL connection)? Is there any other way to make the picture look better? Thanks for your help.

    Yes, forget streaming that way, .....the ANSWER youre looking for is the APP BEAMER

  • Is there any way to change a title for streaming video in QT Pro?

    I'm trying to follow several streaming feeds at the same time, all with unhelpful titles.
    For example, this is the URL I'm using to view the ROV 2 feed for Discoverer Enterprise.
    http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:21145.asx?bkup=21327
    which results in the title, reflector:21145.asx?bkup=21327.

    Actually, what I was wanting to know is if I could just change the title while watching the streaming video rather than saving the feed. I can do this in a VLC playlist but I can't seem to figure out how to open multiple windows for feeds in VLC. Also, VLC doesn't let me go back in the cached feed to see and/or save snippets which I can easily do in QuickTime Pro.
    I have been able to save the streaming feeds like this although I have the $30 upgrade for Flip4Mac which I needed to export for YouTube. There may be a way to do the same thing with something free but I know less than nothing about video and this worked.
    Move the playhead slider to start of snippet
    Type "i" to get slider for start of snippet
    Move the playhead slider to end of snippet
    Type "o" to get slider for end of snippet
    Adjust the "i" and "o" sliders if needed.
    Right click on the feed and choose copy.
    Go to File -> New Player (command N)
    Go to Edit -> Paste (command V)
    Go to File -> Save (command S) and save as self-contained movie
    After that I use the file I just saved with the directions on YouTube to export it to a file that will process on their site.
    Here is an example that shows a ROV being lowered from the deck of its mothership into the water.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsYinE5cNx8
    I saved it from this streaming feed which I loaded into QuickTime Pro (File -> Open URL or command U and paste URL). I seem to recall I needed the free Flip4Mac to view this in QuickTime.
    http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:47175.asx?bkup=21144
    I'm all set with what I want to do other than being able to change the titles on the feeds as I'm watching them in QuickTime Pro.

  • Can stream video to macbook pro display?

    I have a question. I have a Black Macbook, 2.0Ghz, and am wondering if I can stream a video to my friend's Macbook Pro's screen such that both of us can simultaneously watch the same video but on our own's screen?
    Is it more of a software challenge or a hardware challenge i.e. special type of cable needed?

    See this page for information about VNC, and here for Mac OS X VNC software.

  • Streaming video from macbook pro to apple tv

    Hello, I understand that you can use airdisplay to stream the whole desktop view to the apple tv. However, I've found that its extremely laggy when I play videos that way. When I do, the video and sound is always off by a second. When I stream using my ipad or iphone to play videos that never happens and runs perfectly. Is there a way to just stream videos from sites like youtube for the mac like the iphone and ipad?

  • Does techtool work properly with leopard on macbook pro?

    I was noticing some issues on my mac, so I decided to run the techtool deluxe program that comes with applecare and well... it discovered some errors.
    This is a new macbook pro that I bought from the applestore. Instead of upgrading to leopard, i did a clean install
    Heres the errors:
    Directory Scan
    Failed
    Performs a read test of the directory area for the selected volume.
    Media defects cause this test to fail. You should consider backing up the device, reformatting the media, replacing the data, and then testing again.
    urface Scan
    Failed - 1 errors
    The Surface Scan test will scan the disk for bad blocks.
    Media defects cause this test to fail. You should consider backing up the device, reformatting the media, replacing the data, and then testing again.
    Volume Structure
    Failed
    TechTool Deluxe can scan volumes for problems related to the numerous structures that are necessary for the volumes to operate correctly. If problems are found, TechTool Deluxe can attempt to repair the damage to help reduce the chance of future problems.
    If TechTool Deluxe has discovered problems with the volume structure of a volume, allow the program to repair the problem. Quite often these issues are minor, but sometimes they can be indicative of a more serious problem. If the problem persists, consider backing up the device, reformatting the media, replacing the data, and then testing again.

  • My keyboard does not work after installation on a MacBook Pro.

    Can anyone help me?

    Chances are that you've shorted the terminals on the keyboard, and will need to be replaced… When the keyboard on unibody MacBook Pro's is replaced the whole 'top case' will be done, trackpad etc… Now generally it is highly unlikely that the Liquid submersion indicators will have been activated unless the cloth was saturated with water. Also unless you purchased the AppleCare protection plan your MacBook will be out of warranty and will require an out of warranty repair.
    From knowledge out of warranty repair for a top case assembly it's £163 and a level 2 hardware repair is £28

  • Can't play streaming video on macbook pro

    have been sent a video taken 4 days ago, but when I press on the 'play' icon the screen just goes blank !

    Hi
    Sorry to hear about that.
    When you say "died" you mean there is no video output?
    Does your Mac pass POST? (makes chime noise on boot), and does the Capslock key LED go green if you press it? If not, then you may have a power related issue, not video.
    Also, what model do you have (year/processor/GPU)
    Please try an SMC & PRAM reset.
    Cheers

  • HP P1006 DOES NOT PRINT after upgrading to a Macbook Pro 15 i7

    HP P1006 does not work after upgrading to a Macbook Pro 15 i7 2,6 with Mac OS 10.6.3
    I have used Time Machine to migrate from my previous MBP 15 C2D.
    I've tried to remove the printer in system pref. and install it again.
    The installer works fine but close to the end of the installation a new app is starting: HP Laserjet Firmware Update Utility, which won't start and just stays jumping at the dock, although the HP Installer succeeds to finish installing.
    So when i try to print, the printer stays idle.
    I have tried to download the installer from HP official website. Same story.
    Also tried to do Permission Repair in Disk Utility
    Please, if anyone knows a solution, help!

    After the 4th try of Installing the software it finally worked!
    Thanks anyway!

  • HT5278 i did this update and now the volume on my phone doesn't appear when i push the buttons on the side of the phone. occasionally i see them, but my speakers won't work for playing videos or music either. it does ring when i receive a call though! ne1

    i did the ios5.1.1 update and now the volume on my phone doesn't appear when i push the buttons on the side of the phone. occasionally i see them, but my speakers won't work for playing videos or music either. it does ring when i receive a call though, and for my alarm. ne1 else had these problems?

    I have had this happen to me on 3GS, 4 and 4s.   Usually the solution is one of the following:
    1-  If  your volume indicator says  headphones even though they are not plugged in, then:
    Stick your headphones into the headphone jack and then remove quickly.
    2. If that does not work Power your phone off. Then when restarting Reset the phone by pressing the home button and the power button at the same time until the apple logo appears.
    3. Make sure you have not chosen to send audio to an Airplay device such as Apple Tv.
    Hope one of these works for you

  • I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

    I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

    Yes.  A couple of ways that might work.
    First Way
    What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence.  Does it display correctionly? 
    OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c).  Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted.  Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort.  That should maek things work.  What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence.  That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
    Second Way. 
    Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline.  You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.
