How can you use AirPlay Mirroring to always show one of your open desktop screens?

I have Mountain Lion on a 2011 Mac, and have a number of desktop screens which I use regularly.
My question is, how do I choose only one of those open desktop screens to beam to Apple TV via mirroring? For example, so that I can show a presentation on the projector screen (via Apple TV) and read the slide notes directly from a word document on the Mac screen (which the audience cannot see) or for example, to beam a full screen DVD to my TV so that the family can watch it, whilst I continue to actually work on the Mac on a different desktop screen?
Hope that makes sense...
Thanks
Jonathan

I understand your problem but don't think it's possible:( My only solution is to play my tutorials from the networked drive to my ATV2 while following along with the exercise materials. If you've found a solution please let me know? I thought it'd be possible to assign mirroring to one desktop, like I think you said in the original post, with some type of terminal command but no luck yet. Thanks

  • How can I use Airplay Mirror of Photos app without slideshow?

    Every time i try to use airplay mirror and go to the photos app it starts the slideshow feature.
    I can't find a way to disable the slide show. I want simply to mirror my photos so I can zoom them and move around.
    Did anyone figure out a way to do that?

    Hi
    To use airplay you need an airplay capable device such as Apple TV and an iPhone that is 4s or higher, mine is only 4 so I can't access airplay. Once both the Apple TV and phone or iPad are connected to the same wireless notwork you will be able to mirror your screens.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I use AirPlay Mirroring or equivalent with MacBook Pro 5,5?

    Hi!
    I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 (mid-2009 13"), which I recently treated with a RAM bump, an SSD drive and a shiny new battery.
    I'd like to buy an Apple TV in order to use AirPlay Mirroring. I understand that only the MacBook Pro laptops that have been released in 2011 or later are compatible with the feature, but I know that some third party apps (like AirParrot) offer a decent workaround. Unfortunately, it seems that the MacBook Pro 5,5 (i.e. my laptop!) isn't compatible with AirParrot.
    Does anyone have a solution for me?
    Thanks!!

  • How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

    How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

    By using an external editor. Preview is already on your Mac. It's called 'Flip Horizontal'
    In order of price here are some other suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

  • How can you use symbols in Windows 7 on a IMac 27

    How can you use symbols @$€%£¥ in Windows 7 on a IMac 27 mid 2011?  I tried what was normally done on Windows and got nothing.  Alt plus numbers and nothing happens, what am I missing?

    Frosted Flake,
    Are you referring to an equivalent to the Windows Character Map Application (charmap.exe) that allowed you to see the various characters available in each font, and then give you an ALT-nnn number you could key to use the character you wanted ?
    If so you can use the Special Characters from the Edit menu of most applications. Once you have located the character/symbol you want double click it and it will be entered wherever you cursor is located in your application.

  • HT201343 how can i get airplay mirroring

    You can't. It doesn't have the necessary hardware.
    Here is the min requirements:
    AirPlay Mirroring
    Requires a second-generation Apple TV or later. Supports the following Mac models:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)

    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)

  • HT4437 Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Yes, you can use a network storage device for the storage of your content and use it on the Apple TV, but only as part of your iTunes library. So if your question is whether or not you can do this without using your computer or iTunes the answer is no.

  • How can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    how can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.
