How do you get your iMac to show video (or mirroring) with Apple Tv...please help!

I have searched this forum, read the articles here and on Google and I still can't figure this out. Perhaps what I'm wanting isn't possible.
All I want to do is watch my CBS show from www.cbs.com on Apple Tv via my iMac. The Apple TV moniker is next to the volume in iTunes, and I can play music through Apple Tv via I-tunes and have it play on my TV. Thus, I know it is connected and working. I thought I could do a mirror screen like I do with the iPad, but for the life of me I can't find anyone who has covered the subject online.
Can someone tell me, step-by-step, how to show video from my iMac onto my Apple TV. Thanks so much!

If the specs you included about your iMac model are correct, it will not support AirPlay mirroring. See About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support for more about this, including the list of supported models & required OS X versions.

OK. What happens when you try?
Have you updated your Flash to the latest video? Worth trying again, just in case you haven't.

Click Install Now, download, and run the installer from your Downloads folder. Make sure you install it all the way (it'll ask you to quit Safari). Then re-launch Safari and try the video sites again. If that doesn't work, download and run Firefox, and try there - let us know if one browser works and one doesn't.

I presume you mean you want to view your computer screen on your TV by going through the Apple TV. Right now you can't do that but the next version of Mac OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, will allow Mac computers to mirror their computer screen on a TV connected to Apple TV.

I didn't set anything - it just happened. I think it only works for IMAP accounts. If yours is IMAP, the only thing I can think of is to delete the account and set it up again

How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click? (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

How do you get your tunes and voice recordings from your iPod Touch into iTunes on a new computer if you don't have Mobile Me?

How do you get your tunes and voice recordings from your iPod Touch into iTunes on a new computer if you don't have Mobile Me?
iTunes on tmy new computer shows none of my data and I fear if I sync my iPod with the computer all will be deleted on the iPod.
I still have everything in iTunes on the old computer.

Just move your iTunes library to you new computer. You can transfer iTunes purchases to you new computer from your iPod by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

TS3212 how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

Does the book show in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks for downloading, and the amount that's come off your card is the book's price, it's not a temporary store holding charge (which should disappear within a few days or so) ?
If it doesn't show in Purchased then you could check to see if it shows in your Purchaes history so that you can use the 'report a problem' link from it : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If doesn't show there or the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
For the card being declined, if it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support as above and see if they know why it's being declined.

Professionals, how did you get your start?

I know there are many people on here who earn a living working as professionals. I was just curious, how did you get your start?
I plan to attend Ohio University this fall to major in video production within the Scripps School of Communication. OU is well known for their school of communication, but obviously just having a good name behind your major doesn't guarantee a job.
What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers? Any other advice that you have to share?
Thanks in advance

I started out as an apprentice editor on a feature film. Got the job mainly because I fixed the director's assistant's computer during my interview. Knowing how to use the Avid (thanks to film school) helped too.
I started at the bottom, and worked my way up. Gaining knowledge as I went. Apprentice editor, to tape vault manager, to post coordinator, to assistant editor, to online editor, back to assistant, then to editor. 6 years from the day I started apprenticing until the day I started editing a broadcast show.
>What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers?
Learned the ins and outs of the edit systems. I could troubleshoot them if they were broken, and knew the workflows for multiple shooting formats. Was able to make the decision on edit systems to use and workflows to employ when presented with the shooting format, and delivery specs. I learned all that from on the job training, and trolling the web for resources. And a lot of work on my own.
>Any other advice that you have to share?
Work your @$$ off! If you think the job is below you, and act that way, you won't get hired again. Don't think that you will start off right away as an editor, or DP, or director. Starting out as an assistant is a great way to learn all that you need to learn to perform your job. Because right out of film school, you don't know what you don't know. But work hard, be dependable, and you will get hired again and again.
