How can I use Apple TV as second display, not mirror.

I was told (and showed) by an apple "genius" that i could use apple tv with my own hd monitor as a second monitor to use in final cut and other media programs. so i got one, but the desplay setting will only let me use the mirror settings. anyone now how this can be done?

That feature is coming with OSX 10.9 (Mavericks). In the meantime you will have to use a 3rd party solution like Airparrot.

  • I currently use a Samsung TV with an Apple TV to duplicate my MacBook Pro monitor.  How can I use this system as a extended (not mirror) monitor?

    Does anyone have a solution that allows me to use a Samsung TV connected via the AppleTV to my MacBook Pro as an extended (not mirror) monitor? 
    Thanks.

    I would recommend upgrading your laptop. Does your current laptop have an HDMI port? If so, connect your Mac to your TV with an HDMI cable. Your TV must be compatible, if it is, you will have to understand that it will be no where near the quality of AirPlay.

  • I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

    I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

  • How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

    How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

    currently no
    but some people say that airparrot can though it does not rely on the gpu for realtime encoding so performance would be worse
    with the next version of osx you are suppose to be able to do what you ask though

  • How can I use Apple Caching Service on a Network with Multiple Public IPs?

    Hello!
    I help manage a network of ~4000 clients for a small liberal arts college in Michigan. I'm looking into the possibility of implimenting Apple Caching Server for our network.
    We have one 400mbit pipe out to the internet, and all of our clients are given public-facing IPs to the internet. A caching server would be great, especially on update days. All wireless clients are on the same subnet, which is where I'd like the server to be serving the cached copies.
    I have installed Mavericks on a fresh machine, downloaded OS X Server 3.0.3, and attempted to start the caching service. This is what I get.
    Unable to start service.
    Caching cannot be run on a public network. Consult documentation.
    How can I get this up and running?

    The way the Caching server works is that the server will be accessing the Internet and when doing so traffic will be coming from it via a particular public IP address. Usually this will not be the address of the server itelf but your router as for most networks NAT is used. In this by far more common scenario the client Macs (and likely iOS devices) will be going through the same router and hence show up via the same public IP address.
    If the client request is the same as the address registered via the Caching server then Apple redirect the request via the Caching server.
    The setup would look something like this -
               Internet
                    |
                Router (with NAT)
                    |
      (LAN)     +------Caching Server-----Client devices
    With this setup because everything is using the same public IP address Apple can reasonably assume everything is on the same network and trigger a redirection to your Caching server.
    If you try a setup like the following with the Caching server having its own public IP it will not work because the Caching server and client devices will have different public IP addresses
               Internet
                   |
               Router (no NAT)-------------------+
                   |                                      |
                Firewall (with NAT)       Caching Server
                   |                                      |
                   |                                      |
    (LAN)     +-----Client devices-----------+-----------
    Your configuration as described is more like the following
               Internet
                   |
               Router (no NAT)
                   |
    (LAN)     +------Caching Server-----Client devices
    With yours not having NAT each device has its own public IP address including the Caching server and Apple cannot redirect traffic as it thinks they are on different networks.

  • HT2589 how can i use apple id in the iTunes  without credit card

    i created an apple id but i can't use it in the Itunes and apple store because i don't have a credit card i don't have money to buy application i want just the free ones what sould i do !!!!!

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

  • How can I use the same thread to display time in both JPanel & status bar

    Hi everyone!
    I'd like to ask for some assistance regarding the use of threads. I currently have an application that displays the current time, date & day on three separate JLabels on a JPanel by means of a thread class that I created and it's working fine.
    I wonder how would I be able to use the same thread in displaying the current time, date & day in the status bar of my JFrame. I'd like to be able to display the date & time in the JPanel and JFrame synchronously. I am developing my application in Netbeans 4.1 so I was able to add a status bar in just a few clicks and codes.
    I hope somebody would be able to help me on this one. A simple sample code would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    As you're using Swing, using threads directly just for this kind of purpose would be silly. You might as well use javax.swing.Timer, which has done a lot of the work for you already.
    You would do it something like this...
        ActionListener timerUpdater = new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                // DateFormat would be better, but this is an example.
                String timeString = new Date().toString();
                statusBar.setText(timeString);
                someOtherLabel.setText(timeString);
        new Timer(1000, timerUpdater).start();That code will update the time once a second. If you aren't going to display seconds, you might as well increase the delay.
    The advantage of using a timer over using an explicit thread, is that multiple Swing timers will share a single thread. This way you don't blow out your thread count. :-)

  • How can i use both speakers with 2 displays

    i am using 2 27" displays with my powermac but the sound only comes out of one.  does anyone know how i can have the sound come from both display?
    also, does anyone know how i can control which camera is being accessed by iphoto.
    thanks.

    For the audio you most likely need to use Audio MIDI Setup (in your Utilities folder) and create an "Aggregate Device".  This doc might help.
    I don't have an answer for the camera question.

  • How can I use an Imac as a display for a MacPro?

    I purchased a used 2009 MacPro with the understanding I could use my iMac as a monitor using a mini display cable.  I was under the impression that plugging in the mini display cable would cause the iMac to automatically default as a display for the MacPro.  In all of the examples I've seen are of a laptop using an iMac as a display.  I don't know how to access the Mac Pro's system preferences without a monitor to set up the iMac as a display.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks
