How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?  I want to be able to stream a video to my tv while browsing the internet or working on writing on my laptop. Thanks

You would have to use airplay within iTunes then, unless you want to use 3rd party software (ie Beamer)

  • How can I stream videos from my browers with apple tv to my tv?

    Is it possible to stream the content of my webbrowser,i.e. videos to my tv with Apple tv? in some videos the airplay button appears in some not?
    Any idea? Or does not work at all?
    Thx

    Some apps support airplay and others do not, it is the choice of the app developer.  You can mirror far more from your browser IF your mac book pro is early 2011 or newer (mid 2011 for all other macs) and you run OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  For older macs third party apps such as airparrot or reflectorapp will help.  I have successfully watched tv series through mirror (albeit older ones in SD) with excellent quality using mirror and safari.

  • How can I stream video from a P/DVR to my Mac

    Hi, How can I stream video from a Motorola dcx3400m P/DVR to my Mac? I have tried a Slingbox but the audio is out of sync witht the TV and it drives those watching on iPads or on the iMac in another room NUTS.
    Is it possible to use a TV tuner of some sort. I've looked at the eye TV thing but I live in Canada/USA region and the eye TV products all seem to be for Austrailia or the UK. The one product that might work is a DVR and I don't need to pay for that as I already have one.
    HELP!

    If your Mac has an audio input jack you can connect the output of a cassette machine to it (3.5mm stereo jack required). However many don't, so you will need a USB audio interface - Roland make a range. Alternatively you can buy cassette decks with a built in audio interface.
    You will need a program to record and edit the input: Audacity is free and is often bundled with USB-enabled players.

    how can i stream video from mac os x 10 using roku to my tv?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X can't write in NTFS disks. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party app like Paragon for NTFS, being this application the best one to write in those disks.
    Another option is to format the external disk in FAT32 or exFAT on a PC, so you will be able to read and write in Macs and PCs without having to use third-party apps. Do it on a PC and copy the files of your external drive to the internal disk first

  • How can i stream video from Safari my MacBook Air to Apple TV.

    I've been tryingt o stream videos from my Mac Book Air to Apple TV that is connected to my projector but dont seem to see any options in safari to stream to Apple TV.  Have anyone tried this?  Is this possible?  My IPad can do it but dont understand why Mac Book cant.  Please assist!

    I Figured it out!  I put the Display chooser into the toolbar on the MacBook Air and there is a little selection that allows Mirroring.  I switched it on, got video, sound, and a happy man on my hands.  AND I found the correct answer myself, heh, heh, heh.

  • How can I stream video from my Ipad to my apple tv?

    I just got the Apple TV 3rd Gen so I could stream from my IPAD to the TV in my gym in order to stream some of my workout videos. I got the Apple TV set up and connected to the television (HDMI) and to my WIFI and my Apple account etc. however, I can't get it to find my Mac Mini, Ipad or IPhone 5, all of which are set up for home sharing on the same network and all of which just updated the other day. I can't find the Airplay on my devices other than the Apple TV. When I try to connect using Bluetooth, my Mac Mini sees the Apple TV and attempts to pair but the Apple TV just spins and searches contionuosly. My ITunes syncs correctly with my phone and Mac Mini and I can't find any issues there.
    Any ideas how to get this working?

    Thank you. I wasn't able to locate the symbol. I have read some other community responses to others and finally figured out how to access it. Hopefully it will solve my problem.nthank you for your assistance...

  • How can I stream video from a 2006 MacBook Pro (1,1)

    I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo from ~2006 (version 1,1) and I'm trying to figure out how to stream video to my TV. Is there a solution via Apple TV?

    Hey rattlesnake,
    Thanks for the question. I see that you are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, which is compatible with the latest version of iTunes (11.1.2):
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Once you have installed the latest version of iTunes, you can utilize AirPlay from iTunes to an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation):
    iTunes: Using AirPlay
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5922
    To stream music or videos from your computer to an Apple TV or AirPort Express:
    1. Connect your computer and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
    2. Open iTunes.
    3. Locate and click the icon to the left of the iTunes LCD window.
    4. Select your Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers from the list of available devices that appears and begin playback.
    Thanks,

  • How can I stream video from my computer to my tv?

    I want to know if and how I can stream video over my wireless network from my computer to my internet ready Sony TV.  The TV is connected to an Airport Express.

    Well you could go with the Apple TV, or you could just use the streaming functions built in to your Sony TV. As I don't know about Sony smart TVs I can't tell you anything about the TV's streaming functionality.

  • Can I stream video from my mac to apple tv the same way my ipad or ipod does?

    I just got my AppleTV hoping to stream video to it from my iMac.  I'm seeing this is possible with mirroring, but there was a ton of lag between the computer and tv, and the sound and video would skip horribly.  I plugged the ATV into our ethernet and that has helped tremendously, but there is still some visual lag and skipping going on with the video, noticable enough to drive me crazy when watching something like a movie. 
    However, I noticed that when I stream the same video to ATV with my iPad, it uses a method other than mirroring; the video is greyed out on the iPad with the ATV symbol on it and sends the video to the tv instead, and it plays seamlessly!  I wish I could say this is the solution to my own problem, but most videos I wish to watch are in a flash format, which does not work on iPad and I would therefore need to use my iMac instead.
    So, leading back to the title now, is it possible to stream a video on the iMac without using mirroring, such as how ever it is the iPad and iPod are able to do it?
    My iMac is the newest model currently out I believe.  27", i7 intel processor.  The AppleTV is also the newest generation I believe.  I just got both barely two weeks ago from the store here.
    Any help is appreciated, let me know if you need any more information.
    Thanks!

    I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
    As Keithjammer indicates, the TV2 does not "mirror" your screen as the platform's video interface does. Instead, the TV2 device is a wired/wireless remote multimedia player. As such, it only plays files in a compatible compression format. To do what you want it to do would require your platform to first compress the screen audio/video data to a compatible format and then stream it to the device in real time.
    I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
    Yes, only files can be streamed. You can, of course, capture your screen audio and video data to a compatible file and then stream the file to the TV2 device.
    ...except from both London Drugs (where I purchased it) and Best Buy (where I double checked).

  • How can i stream movies from my pc to apple tv

    I would like to stream HULU movies that are on my PC to Apple TV. How can that be done?

    Only compatible video files from itunes can be streamed from a computer.
    If these are downloaded and unprotected files rather than streaming in a browser you may be able to convert them and add to iTunes.

  • How can I stream the audio only to my Apple TV while watching the video on my iPad?

    Hi everybody!
    My question might sound a little confusing to some of you, but anyway: When I watch a video on my iPad (youtube app, facebook, etc.) I would like to watch the video on my iPad and stream the audio to my atv, which is connected to my hifi. Currently, every time I hit the airplay button both video AND audio will be streamed.
    Many people complain about only streaming audio, but that's precisely what I am looking for! I don't want to turn on my TV for every silly 0:30 min youtube video. I would love to find something like this:
    Cheers for any help!

    you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
    if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

  • How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    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.
