How can I view my MacBook desktop using Apple TV if screen is broken?

Hey guys thanks for taking your time to read this. I was cleaning and my Mac fell on the floor and hit itself on my weights and the
Screen cracked and all I see is colors. I was working on a resume as well
So I would like to know if there's a way I can view it on Apple TV? Unfortunately I can't see
The Turn On AirPlay option on my screen so it can appear on my tv
Since I can't see anything and I know it's not broken cuz I can still play everything from my
Library using Apple TV but I just need my screen to appear on TV...
I've been trying to guess and clicking everything on my Mac to see if I'm lucky to hit the airplay button but no luck yet :(
Any help would be greatly appeciated

The only way to turn on airplay mirroring would be toggling it via your Mac. Also, it wouldn't be recommended as a replacement for your main screen. Your best bet is to take in the Mac for repair.

I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

How can I keep my MacBook safe is Apple is no longer supporting Snow Leopard? My MacBook was purchased in 2006 and cannot be upgraded to the newer operating systems.

I have a MacBook which I purchased in 2006. It cannot upgrade to newer operating systems.Since Apple has stopped support to Snow Leopard, how can I keep my MacBook safe? Buying another computer is not an option. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks.

Apple still sell, and therefore support, Snow Leopard.
For what it's worth, from my reading of the Snow Leopard EULA (and I would assume that there is similar language in the EULAs for all other operating systems, as well), I'm not seeing any obligation on the part of Apple to provide Security Updates of any kind, period/full stop. The wording appears to be completely "use at your own risk." I have no idea whether this "use at your own risk" would survive a legal challenge, or if such a legal challenge would depend on whether or not Apple is still selling (or even giving away for free) an OS, or whether local law would, according to this, override the EULA. Perhaps this is why Apple never formally announces EOL or discontinuance of support for an OS. They can always claim that they are still supporting an OS, whether or not in any practical sense, they are. There was even a very late Flashback detection and removal script which Apple issued for 10.5 well after it was clear that they had stopped supporting Leopard. This hardly constituted ongoing support, but perhaps it was to deter the threat of legal action, or maybe it was simply out of benevolence. I don't know.
Besides that, even when Apple was still actively "supporting" Snow Leopard, which I don't think it is any longer, "use at your own risk" would still have applied to a case where Apple may have been late with a patch, or a response, or an adequate response, to a zero-day threat, such as Flashback was, which was constantly evolving. Many thousands were affected by that, and, to my knowledge, at least, there was no legal action directed at Apple throughout or after that episode. If there was any, I don't think it succeeded.

How old is your MBP (year and season)?
 > About This Mac > More Info...
Apple TV is supported on a early 2011 or newer MacBook Pros with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. If your MBP is older than that then you can use AirParot to connect to Apple TV.

HT2497 How can I connect my MacBook Pro using my personal cellular 'hotspot'?

I am a brandnew user of MacBook Pro (iOS 10.8 Mountain Lion) and am clueless!! I've never used anything but Windows OS's. I am attempting to connect to the internet using my cellular phone's 'hotspot'....no connection. I then tried to connect via tethering, using the USB cable between the phone & the Mac....still not connection. The phone "sees" the Mac, but the Mac is not "seeing" the phone. Is there something in the computer's settings I need to change?? Thanks for any & all input!!

Plug it in. Choose the right HDMI port for the input in the TV's menu system (cosult the TV's manual as needed). Choose the TV as the audio output device in the Output tab of the Sound pane of System Preferences. You should be all set.

Sounds like a major stuff up on apple's behalf as this feature has been announced widely (incl their own webpage) sand is even included in the official release notes of the install file(!!)

How can I view a file with an *.apple extension?

Hi all,
I did a search and couldn't come up with any threads that may have discussed this. My apologies if I overlooked any results.
Anyway, I was doing some file recovery on my SD card and this f2754624.apple file popped up at around 600mb. I'm guessing it was some video shot with the digi. It's kind of old and I'm kind of curious what it is haha.
So any clue as to how I can open said file? Thanks in advance for any assistance I can obtain from you all.

"not supported, or might have been damaged."
That's key. If you're using Safari to download PDFs, it can do this.
Trash the SPD file. It can't be repaired.
Download the Adobe Reader FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Save the DMG to your downloads folder.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
Empty the trash.
Download AppZapper (it's a free trial) and install it.
Launch AppZapper, and drag the Adobe Reader app to the window.
"Zap" it and anything else in the window to the trash.
Empty the trash.
Install Reader from the downloaded DMG and re-download the SPD file.

How can i view the conversations in my messages? the screen is blank after i send and receive., how can i view the conversations in my messages? the screen is blank after i send and receive.

i cannot view the messages that i send and receive. usually i can view the conversation but now it's empty. what settings do i need to change?

The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon. i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer. On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented. On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures. On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file. I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work. I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon? (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
Cheers.

How can I view the photos contained in a backup without restoring my iPhone?

I've had a new iPhone for a while now, and have recently remembered that I had backed up quite a few photos on iCloud in the past. I can see that my backup takes up a lot of memory through the iCloud app for windows.
My question is: How can I view a backup without using it to restore my iPhone. I don't currently have a mac, only PC and and iPhone.
Thanks.

You cannot.
If the backup is local (not iCloud) you might be able to using a 3rd party tool.

If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.

A MacBook will use Time Machine to make local backups so that when connected to an external drive it will backup a lot faster.
to disable this, you must use a command under terminal.
to locate terminal, do a search for it under spotlight (the magnifying glass on the top right corner), should be the first hit.
once under terminal, type the following text exactly:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
hit enter.
you will be asked to input your password, if you do not have a password, you will have to create one before performing this command. after entering your password, hit enter again and close terminal.
in a few minutes the space taken up by time machine should be cleared.

You don't view your calendar, on your Mac, that way. You sync your calendar to your Mac using iCloud, or iTunes. Read here:
