How do I get music to stream to Apple TV from my macbook air with Mavericks

Just bought a Macbook Air last week.
I am very conversant with Apple TV and Macs. I have two iMacs and stream music from them to Apple TV and it's fine. They are running Lion and Snow Leopard.
My Air is running Mavericks. I open iTunes, enable Home Sharing, but the only airplay icon I can find is at the very top of the window beside the wifi symbol etc.
When I click on that it does MIRROR - I don't want MIrror. But I can't find the usual icon for sharing with Apple TV in iTunes - it's nowhere to be found.
I am just a bit frustrated at this. Can anyone tell me how I can play music from my Air to Apple TV without mirroring it? So frustrating!
Right now I'm streaming it from my iMac but ... what if the only computer I had was the Air? How can I work and stream music to my TV - I like to listen to it on the TV with photos on the screensaver.
Thanks.
Judie

The ability to send music via iTunes is in the upper left corver. On the right of the volume control. When you click on it, it gives you the option of Computer only, Apple TV only or both. Or more if you have more than just the Apple TV to do AirPlay. You can adjust volume differently on each "speaker" too.
Holding option and pressing the mute, volume down or volume up will also give you the option to AirPlay everything on your Mac to the AppleTV. As Tuttle suggested. But that is everything from the Mac, including alerts and such. Where as the iTunes AirPlay will only do the music.

Ok here is a good link Re: how do i setup/connect to my wireless printer I assume the printer is wirless if so this should work. First turn the printer on then go into system preferences and then printers and scanners. It should look for the printer that is on the same wifi as you and then just set it up.

How do I get music onto my iPhone without having to download it from the Cloud? My iPhone gives the error "sync will resume when "computer" is available" on the final step of synching. The computer says "waiting for changes to be applied" but the phone doesn't have the two little sync arrows anymore. Seems it will stay like that for hours if I don't cancel it. I've tried syncing the songs with the cord & without the cord; using only purchased music or only a few songs. I've restarted both devices & both are updated with the latest software. My phone says it hasn't synced in 5 months, even though I've tried. WiFi is working. I've tried checking and unchecking the box in iTunes. I've turned Windows Firewall on/off. Ran the diagnostics in iTunes. Nothing seems to work. Help!

Hello Megurine Lockhart,
I would recommend re syncing the music to the phone from iTunes by unchecking the sync music checkbox in iTunes, sync, then re check it and sync again.
For reference this is what I mean:
Syncing music
Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
Select your your iPod in the Devices section on the left side of the iTunes window.
In the main iTunes browser window, select Music.
Select the option to Sync Music. You may also select "Include Music videos" if you would like to sync Music videos to a device.

The article references an iPod but its the same for an iPhone.
All the best,

How to factory reset Macbook Air with Mavericks

I work at a pawn shop and have a Macbook air with OS X 10.9 installed. I need to be able to reset this, so the previous owner's information is not compromised before selling it. When powering on the Mac I am unable to use any boot commands to get to terminal or recovery options because a screen with a lock and a password entry box show up. How can I bypass this to reset the mac?
Thanks

I have addressed the issue with the other team members going forward, but I still have potentially 1-4 months of affected inventory...which is potentially a huge financial loss.
I don't doubt that this particular machine was tested before it was purchased, but if the general assumption was, passwords are no big deal, we can just boot to recoery mode and reset the mac later, then this would have been no cause for concern.
either way, I have to find away around this for my current inventory. I will get some torx screw drivers and try removing the ram.
thank you

I would like to upgrade my Macbook Air with more Flash Memory from 128 gb to 512 gb. How can I do this?, I would like to upgrade my Macbook Air with more Flash Memory from 128 gb to 512 gb. How can I do this?

Hello
I recently purchased a Macbook Air with 1.7 Ghz Intel Core i5 4 gb Ram 11" with 128 Gb storage.
All is well but I would like to increase the storage in my Mac, to the maximum possible 512, 1 tb what ever possible.
I am in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia right now. No Apple Stores exist here at the moment. But I have noticed several authorized resellers.
Kindly guide me if, first of all this is possible or not, if yes then how can I go about doing this being in the country (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) that I am.
I also want to purchase an iMac, but the local shops don't seem to have stock and would like to inquire if I could order it online and have it delivered to my home/office here.
Thank you for your time.
Abdullah

You should go back to your Apple Reatiler Store since it is likely under warranty.
If'its not under warranty there e are a number of sites... here is one.

Personally I would sell the 128 and buy the one you need.

Read the user manual that came w/the printer/scanner, contact Epson to see if you need to update your scanner drivers to work in Mavericks also check Software Update. Check out the following links:

How do I upgrade/update my iPhone 5 from my MacBook Air with limited space/storage

Hi There!
I am desperately trying to update my iPhone from my MacBook Air. But before I do so, I am trying to back up my iPhone. Every time I connect my iPhone to my laptop and hit 'manually back up', it stops with the following message:
"iTunes could not back up the iPhone because not enough free space is available on this computer."
I have a 60G laptop. I have deleted everything I had stored on this laptop (which was not much to begin with).
I then tried checking out my MacBook Air usage/storage by clicking Launchpad and going into 'System Information' then clicking on storage. It then showed me the following:
Volume Name: Macintosh HD
Capacity: 59.81GB
Available: 1.55GB
What i'm struggling to understand is what is taking up so much room/storage on my laptop? I barely use it and I save practically everything onto my hard drive.
Can anyone shed some light?
Kind Regards,
TeeStrang

Try a few things: 1) restart in safe mode (restart holding the shift key) and this will repair the drive (if need be) and trim/delete cache files. Restart normally.
2) if you use iPhoto or Aperture launch the program and then empty the trash folder of the program(s). Launch your Mail program and check out how much is in the Trash and Archive folders. You can delete the really old stuff if there is any.
3) Download omniDiskSweeper (free) to see what's on your drive. Be careful about deleting anything that isn't in your personal drive space and be very careful about deleting anything in the Library folder.

How do i get music i download on apple tv to my ipod?

I did all the updates with apple tv and have had no problems so far. I purchased an album on itunes through my apple tv. The album shows up on the apple tv, but I cannot find it in itunes on my imac or on the apple tv in itunes. How can I get it there and download it onto my ipod? Anyone know?

How do I get music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes onto my iPod touch?

I just bought the 32 G iPod touch bc I read online that the 8G holds 2000 songs plus other stuff and the 32G holds 8000 songs plus more. I have 3000 songs on my iTunes and for some reason it said it won't hold more than 2600. Also I can't figure out to put the music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes synced onto my iPod touch. Help?

The advertised number of songs an iPod can hold is based on set factors such as the encoding for each song and the length for each song.
Transferring movies is selected under the Movies tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
Transferring TV Shows is selected under the TV Shows tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
Include Music Videos is selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.

How do i get rid of an old apple id from an iphone upon activation IOS 7

This phone was sold to me by a friend and it had and account upon activation, my freind doesn't know the information how do I get rid of the account so I can use the phone?? Please I need to know I lost my other phone and I am trying to use this one.

The "friend" will have to log in to his or her Apple ID and disable Find my iPhone. Or unlink by logging in to iCloud using the correct Apple ID and password and unlinking the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 for what your friend has to do before you can use the phone.
I am truly amazed that a friend would sell you a phone without wiping out its contents, which must contain a lot of sensitive personal information. And to wipe it clean the friend would have had to disable Find my iPhone.
Activation Lock is Apple's antitheft feature, that prevents a stolen iPhone from ever being used again. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818 for how it works.

HT4009 How do you get refund on misuse of apple id in "in app purchases" with kids games?

These in app purchases within games are too easy for kids to get caught up in the occassion. In my case my 10 year old daughter made an error of judment having remembered my apple id from long ago she got sucked into the buy extra points with money. Am I just not up with the play on things and what is acceptable now but the way they advertise the BUY part is wrong! They make it look part of the game, no dollar signs... How do I get credited for this misuse of apple ID? Yes I have changed passwords and stopped in app purchases now!

Where/how do I get my install disk/image of Lion for my Macbook Air?

Just in case, to keep on-hand in case I would like to reinstall Lion, I would like an image file to put on a USB drive.
I obviously didn't get a DVD with the Macbook Air, but also didn't get any instructions (nor can find them online) of where to download my disk image.

That's because an image for the new MBAs isn't available to the public. A special Lion build containing MBA hardware specific drivers is required.
It is intended that the recovery partition/internet download method be used to restore/rebuild. This likely won't be sufficient in all cases--though it should suffice for most recovery situations.
As to an image from Apple--that would be speculation.
