How can I mirror my macbook screen to the Apple TV through wifi?r

I have not been able to mirror my macbook's screen to the Apple TV through the wifi. I want to do that in the classroom for more mobility of the notebook for student use. This is because I'm trying to use iPads and Macbooks in the classroom for presentations by students and the teacher directly to the TV. Is the Apple TV the best bet?

If you are desparate, I was able to get a remote-desktop client to show my Mac's screen on my iPad, and then display that to my TV via AppleTV 2 over wifi. While it worked, it was rather slow on screen updating--you'd never be able to watch a movie for instance.

  • How can I mirror my macbook screen to the Apple TV through wifi?

    I cannot seem to be able to mirror my macbook screen via wifi to the Apple TV. It only works with my iPad 2. Is there a solution now or in the future?

    You can't.  And the lag/delay would be so bad that it could be large.  But I'd take your question to the AppleTV forum to see if someone has a solution.  But the bigger question is, why????  Just mirror the MacBook directly to the TV?

  • Can I mirror my computer monitor on the Apple TV ?

    How can I mirror my computer monitor on the Apple TV ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • How can we default a Purchase Organisation in the PR generated through MRP

    Hi,
    How can we default a Purchase Organisation in the PR generated through MRP
    (This is a Auto generated PR when the MRP Run is taken)
    We take a MRP Run for CBP. After the MRP Run system Auto generates a PR. But this PR does not have the P.organisation mentioned in it. It has to be done manually.
    How can we Default the P.Organiastion in the PR.
    NS

    The Purchasing Organization is only filled in the Purchase Requisition
    when a source is assigned because it represents a source of supply.
    Please also refer to attached note 206684 for more information.
    When executing a MRP-run, it is checked first if there exists a quota
    arrangement, the source list is read after it and the purchasing
    organization is taken from the source list. But before filling
    the relevant field in the purchase requisition (EBAN-EKORG), the
    system checks if there exists a record in the source list which is
    RELEVANT TO MRP, which means that the parameter 'MRP' has to be set to
    '1'.
    So please ensure that MRP = 1 in ME01 for the existing records and start
    the next planning run with planning mode = 3 and check the results.

  • 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.

  • I have my ipod nano 5th generation and when i plugged it to my computer it is recognized but i cant do anything. On the ipod all i can see is a black screen with the apple sign! How can i fix this?

    I have my ipod nano 5th generation and when i plugged to my computer it is recognized but i cant do anything. On the ipod all i can see is a blackscreen with the apple sign! How can i fix this?

    Howdy Lumagofe,
    I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
    If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
    All the very best,

  • How can I file a formal complaint with the Apple Online Store Canada?

    I've spoken to two customer service representatives at this point about an order that I cancelled within a half an hour of placing it, as I was initially unaware that the product I purchased would not fit my sister's iPhone. As stated in the Cancelled Order portion of the following page: http://store.apple.com/ca/help/viewing_changing_orders#cancel, I should NOT have been billed for the order. I was billed last Friday and am still yet to receive the refund, despite the fact that the first rep I spoke to advised that my money would be refunded in one day. The statement on the link I provided is completely misleading, as well as the email I received stating that I would not be charged at all. Someone with Apple must amend this statement on the website and the automated emails, as it could be considered legally misleading. I will in no way be pursuing any legal action, as I don't have the time and I'm only out $90.00, but I can't imagine having purchased the MacBook that I wanted to purchase prior to this incident and going through an ordeal like this again. Can someone please advise who I should contact and where I can find their contact information please? I love the apple products that I own and would hate to discontinue my customer relationship with the company.

    Also, please remember that no refund from any store is instantaneous. They will process the refund, probably within 24 - 48 hours. After that, your bank/credit card company has to credit your account....... mine takes at least 3 business days to do so (the banks are very efficient in posting charges, but like to keep the money for a couple of days before giving it back to you - they've been doing that for years).
    Edit: I just checked their return/refunds policy and it includes this:
    Once we receive your item, a refund is initiated immediately. If you canceled a pickup item, and you were billed for it, we initiate your refund immediately after you submit your cancel request. The way your refund is processed depends on your original payment method:
    If you paid by credit or debit card, refunds will be sent to the card-issuing bank within five business days of receipt of the returned item. Please contact the card-issuing bank with questions about when the credit will be posted to your account.
    Products purchased from the Apple Online Store using an Apple Store Gift Card will be refunded to you as an Apple Store Gift Card by email within 3 business days. If you’d like us to mail you an Apple Store Gift Card, ask the representative helping you. You will receive it within 8 business days via United States Postal Service (USPS). If you purchased an item from the Apple Online Store and are returning it to an Apple Retail Store, you'll receive an Apple Store Gift Card by email within 3 business days.
    Note that it states it will be initiated immediately, but  will be sent within 5 business days.
    Read the entire policy here:

  • How can I tell if my mac has the Apple "quite kit"?

    Hi, how can I tell if my dual processor 1.42 ghz fw800 mac has the Apple "quite kit"? I've had it with the loud noise now. I can hear the fans from other rooms.
    If my mac does have the kit, I'll definitely look into upgrading the fans. Which fan brand is the best for this model mac?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi, and welcome to the Discussions!
    Check the PSU. It should be a 360 watt model and not a 400 watt model. Also, the fans should be manufactured by Papst, not Sensflow. Here's a good link with info on this subject.
    I am under the impression that the FW800 Macs all shipped with the quiet kits installed and that the mods were meant for the MDD Macs, though I could be wrong...
