How do i get a dvd to play through my apple tv?

The tv will mirror everything my macbook does except play the dvd.  as soon as i hit play, both screens turn to a checker board that is gray and white.  if i turn off the apple tv the dvd plays fine on the screen of my macbook. any ideas?

DVD playback by over AirPlay is blocked, There are other applications that have been reported as not blocking AirPlay, such as VLC.

    How do I get the volume to play through the TV and not my MacBook Pro, when a HDMI cable is being used?

    I don't think the Mac routes sound through HDMI, or else it's a TV issue.
    Use a stereo mini to RCA breakout cable.

  • How can I get my iPod to play through the 30 pin connector?

    I bought an 30 pin to 8 pin adapter. I plugged it into my iPod and plugged it into the sound system (new Yamaha MCR -049). The scene says "unknown iPod" and will not play music (it comtinues to play through the iPod's speaker) and it does not indicate that the iPod is charging. What am I doing wrong?

    Is a lightning adapter the same as 8 pin ? The manufacurer says this stereo says this only works with iPod 5 (mine is) and the only way to connect is an adapter. I bought an after market brand instead of Apple branded.  I think I have a bad adapter. I'll buy a 39 pin to lightning adapter. I think that's the only way I can figure put if the dock works.

  • How can i get my Nano to play through all albums/playlists automatically?

    I like to walk for an hour/ hour and a half each day, and would love to know if somehow i can start playing 1 album or playlist, and have the Nano automatically play through the remaining albums/playlists so i don't have to manually start playing an album again each time one finishes???
    I have only had my Nano 3 days, so forgive me if this is a simple question.
    Thanks!!

  • How do I get my DVDs to play full screen on a second screen?

         I downloaded OS X Lion a few days ago and went to watch a movie on the second screen that is hooked up to my macbook pro.  Instead of going to full screen on my TV, the movie moved itself back onto my computer and filled my second screen with a gray picture.  Why does it do this, and is ther any way to play a DVD on a second screen in full screen? I have tried mirroring but the movie will not fill my TV screen like it used to with the old system because it is limited to the shape of my computer screen.

    This is a general problem with the full screen mode under lion. Every time you bring whatever application in full screen mode the secondary screen is not usable anymore. As workaround you can only switch the primary screen onto you TV screen as long as you watch movies.
    I know that this is no final solution but the only alternate is to roll back to SL. (I did so, and now I wait until Apple fix the problem)
    Unfortunately Apple devellopers don't watch the community discussions. If you want to inform them about this problem please use the following link:
         http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I did it also and discribed the problem there. My hope is that if many people do the same this problem gets higher priority and will be resolved by apple devellopers.

  • Why can't I get a DVD to play through a projector via my SuperDrive?

    I have a brand new MacBook Air 13" with an external superdrive connected. I connect an external Epson projector to display my screen up on the wall. When I insert my DVD in the Superdrive I can run it on my MBA screen no problem but it will not project through the Epson. All I get is a gray and white checkered pattern on the wall.
    I can use my son's new MacBook Pro and Epson and project the DVD just fine.
    This is a training DVD that I need to run for classes I teach and need to be able to use the SuperDrive and my MacBook Air. What's up?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    How are you connecting your projector (Thunderbolt, RCA, S-Video, HDMI?)
    In System Preferences:Display does the projector show up and have a profile? It should. You may have to change the resolution/refresh rate (signal)  of that profile in order to get the video to show up. Depending on your connector you might not be able to choose a compatible resolution and refresh rate (Study the information included with your projector) . . . in that case you might need to use a different adaptor/connection.

    how do i get a dvd on to my iphone

    What media was it recorded on? If it's a VHS tape, look into a "capture card" like the Dazzle series. If you recorded on DVD, use Handbrake or a similar program to compress it into an mpeg4 or other video file compatible with iTunes.

  • Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  How can I get my songs to play?

    Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed.  When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song.  When I select this option I get nothing.  The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to.  I can't the songs to play however.  This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them.  Actually, one song is too many.    How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

    Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

    Hey vlasta4444,
    It sounds like you'll want to change the time it takes for the computer to goto sleep from System Preferences> Energy Saver.
