From MacBook to TV in streaming...

I'm just passed from my old PC on a world with only Mac (sorry for my English, is not my mother language), now I have one MacBook, one Ipad and One old AppleTV.
I have a lot of file .avi on my Macbook (or better they are on an external HD), if I want to watch them on My Tv in streaming how can I do?
It will be useful if I buy the new Apple TV or not?
Thank very much for every help you can give me.

Presumably the stuff cannot be accessed drectly on AppleTV via the YouTube app?
I assume your internet speed is ok, but if variable that could have an effect, though you'd perhaps expect similar performance on all devices unless the MAc is getting a better quality stream/resolution not available on iPhone/iPad.
I am not a big fan of Airplay Mirroring - it is very network dependent, and assuming internet speed is ok, not only do you then need local bandwidth to transfer content from the internet via your router to the Mac, you also need additional wifi/ethernet bandwidth for the Mac to send the data to the AppleTv in real time, and this can stress weak points in the network - you may be usingteh iPhone/iPad in a different location to the Mac with the protables getting better wifi signal for example.

    Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
    Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

    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.

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

    Showing checked screen when mirroring hd itunes movies from macbook to tv?

    it's dvd's DRM encryption kicking in
    it's by design if you use remote desktop from another computer to the computer
    the same thing would happen
    people say that the free player vlc don't have the issue
    if that is the case then vlc are breaking the law as stripping a dvd's movie stream of encryption is not really legal

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

    Issue: Problem transferring music files from MacBook to iMac
    Description: Trying to transfer music files from MacBook to iMac. Some files will transfer, others will not. Error message (in the files that won't transfer) says no permission to write, however, when I check ownership and permissions on both MacBook and iMac, everything (owner, group, others) is set to read and write. Preferences for iTunes on both iMac and Macbook identical. This only "no permission to write" applies only to some files, not all. Both affected and unaffected files were imported from my own cd's, not purchased from iTunes.
    Attempted solutions: Tried using "import" and "add to library" command from drop down menu using individual files. Tried clicking and dragging individual files from folders into iTunes itself. Tried placing folders into itunes Music folder. Tried placing iTunes Library into iTunes Music folder.
    Any other suggestions? Please help
