How can I wirelessly mirror my Macbook Pro on my Apple TV

Please Help!

I don't think it's possible to mirror the MBP's display wirelessly.  As far as I know the MBP only outputs the signal from the graphics card thru the mini-displayport/Thunderbolt port.  You can stream media files from iTunes to Apple TV using AirPlay, but obviously that's different from mirroring the display.

  • How can i wirelessly mirror my macbook pro display to my 2nd gen apple tv?

    Hello,
    I have a new macbook pro 13" and a 2nd Gen Apple TV.  I was wondering if there is an app or a way to wirelessly mirror my macbook pro display to theapple TV without using any HDMI cables/adapters?  Is this something thatcan be done in OSX Lion via Airplay?  I cant find anything about it so iam assuming not but it seems like its something that could easily be done.
    Thanks!

    Are you using mirroring or using airplay within iTunes? If you are truly mirroring then you can view anything that is displayed on your computer through Apple Tv

  • Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

    Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
    It needs to be wireless.
    I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
    Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

    My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
    Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
    PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
    Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I connect an old macbook pro...

    How can I connect an old macbook pro with that does NOT have a Thunderbolt connection to a new 27 inch iMac? I only need to do this for one specific purpose, to be able to see the work I'm doing on the laptop in InDesign on the iMac's larger screen (at a larger size as it were, so I can see a double page spread (or even a whole page would be an improvement) in one go)?  I gather it might be possible to get an adaptor but note that Apple don't seem to sell one. I know I could do this with the cinema screen but would rather do it with a new imac as that will have more use to me overall. It's a work laptop which I don't own so I don't own the Indesign to just be able to use that on an iMac. I have tried to connect monitors to the laptop in the past, but with no success at all.  I hope someone can help . Thank you.

    Im pretty sure you are talking about the M8536 which has an ADC Adapter.
    you will have to daisy chain a thunderbolt to DVI adapter with an DVI to ADC Adapter.
    the first adapter:

    The second adapter is old so you may find used ones on ebay like this:

    How can I restore my new Macbook pro to Factory setting?

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears.

    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.

  • How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    Sure can.
    With a document open in Pages, select to print so that you can see the print dialog as shown below.
    Note that to see this view, you may need to press the Show Details button in the bottom left corner. In the image above, since I have the expanded view displayed, this button changes to Hide Details
    So with the view shown, first change the Presets menu to Default Settings. Then click the Layout drop menu and select Quality & Media. Make the changes you want and then click on the Presets menu and select Save Current Settings as Preset...
    At the next window, give the Preset a name and select the Only this Printer radio button and then click OK to save it. That's it.
    As for the Preset that you already have, if you no longer want this preset then you can delete it via the Show Presets menu pane that you've used already.
