How can i mirror my mac book pro with apple tv

I need to know how to mirror my macbook pro with my apple tv so I can watch youtube and use my browser on my tv. So what I can see on my computer I want to see on tv. Is there a program I need or should it do it by it's self?

If you have Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.*), then just select AirPlay from the menu along the top of your desktop, and your computer screen should appear on a tv attached to your Apple TV.

  • How can I mirror my Mac Book Pro to my TV using Apple TV 3

    Is it possible to mirror my Mac Book Pro running Lion to my HD TV which is connected to Apple TV 3?

    No, you cannot do this with Lion OS X.
    Reportedly the mirroring feature has been demo-ed with the next operating system Mountain Lion, however as yet we do not know if there will be any hardware restrictions to this feature.

  • Why is there lag when I mirror my mac book pro with apple tv

    I bought Apple TV in November 2014 and have been using it with my iphone 6 and my ipad without any problems. I bought a new macbook pro (my old one was  a mid 2010 model so did not have airplay) yesterday and tried mirroring as I was with my iphone and ipad. Every time I tied I experienced a couple of seconds lag, this there anyway to fix this? I currently can't use my apple tv with my laptop as it just doesn't work!

    Hi jmcivor89,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re running into performance issues when using AirPlay Mirroring with your new MacBook Pro. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting tips that may be able to help you resolve the issue.
    Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Resolve performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
    Try these suggestions:
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    If you are using iTunes, please see these troubleshooting guidelines.
    So long,

  • How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through  HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

    How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through  HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

    I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041902 &p_id=2029&seq=1&format=2
    Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can).

  • How can i get my mac book pro to recognize a JVC camcorder?

    How can I get my mac book pro to recognize a JVC camcorder using a Sony CAMERA USB cord??

    Gotta say thank you — again.  Sorry the posts were spread out over more than one location.    I'll check and see if Third Party Software is considered a "peripheral", maybe that would have been a better single thread choice?
    Definitely news we can use and the reference link is appreciated.
    OT ~ We keep becoming more and more aware of how easy it is to lose one's bearings when it comes to keeping up with info tech.  My husband and I are both official members of the geezer set and have been out of the work force for some years.  You really do pick up so much just by being in the environment where people are using things to get work done.  A couple of old MP3 players, PPC G5, and a vintage Inspiron 3800 that someone didn't want any more is about it.  No cell phone, no iPod, no iPad, no home wireless network, no streaming media.  Fixed income.  So we do with what we can as long as we can.  If we could get by without that Intel processor, we'd probably make do with what we've got.  On the other hand, we've really wanted a notebook for a very long time and have to admit that needing to upgrade to accomodate my husband's project is pretty much just the "reason" we need.  I really mean it when I say that we are beyond appreciative that users take the time to share info and patiently educate those of us who fall into the "slow tech" category.

    If you want to erase the disk, reinstall Mac OS X and your Mac didn't come with DVDs or you have OS X Mountain Lion or Lion:
    1. Press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting.
    2. Open Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
    3. Install Mac OS X.
    If your Mac came with DVDs:
    1. Insert the OS X DVD that came with the Mac and press C key while your Mac is starting.
    2. Go to Utilities > Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
    3. Install Mac OS X

  • How can i fix my mac book pro i bought in mid 2010, it is slowing down. the pin wheel does spin a alot.

    how can i fix my mac book pro i bought in mid 2010, it is slowing down. the pin wheel does spin a alot.

    try this;
    open disk utility - verify disk permissions - repair disk permissions if errors are found.  might take an hour or less - depending on how much errors needs to be repaired.
    restart your macbook and see if that sorts it out for you.
    also check your hard drive space.  if your hard drive is almost full, that will also contribute to your macbook getting slower....
    good luck

  • How can I make my Mac Book Pro print to a Panasonic KX-MB772?

    How can I make my Mac Book Pro OSX 6.8 talk to a Panasonic KX-MB772 printer?

    You can't. The KX-MB722 is one of the few remaining printers in the class of devices called "Windows Printers" that has no on-board printing software -- it relies on a host computer to provide all of the software functionality and Panasonic only provides such software for certain versions of Microsoft Windows. In this case, it means a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows (2000-XP, though it will probably reliably on Windows versions up to 7). Note that these devices are not guaranteed compatible with future versions of Windows either (Panasonic has already dropped software support for this model).
    I'm pretty sure that the device doesn't support remote printing without the software either (e.g., you can't setup a computer with Windows on it, share the printer, and then print to the shared printer without their software).
