How to connect Apple TV with my computer

Having the same apple account on both, the TV does not show the files from the computer.
Question: the computer is connected to the internet through WIFI, the apple TV is connected with a cable. Do I have to connect both the same way, either WIFI or cable ?!
Thank you for your help already in advance.
best regards,
Atze

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The devices can be connected by any type of network, including mixed networks such as you describe. The first thing to check would be that both devices are on the same subnetwork though. check their addresses they should have different last parts to the address but the first three parts should be the same. (ie 192.168.1.x)

    How to connect Apple TV with iPad ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How to connect Apple TV with AT&T Uverse

    Need help pls.  Not sure how to connect Apple TV2 to AT&T Uverse.  I know I need to connect one cable to my wireless router, and another cable from the HDMI port to my TV.  That part is clear.  But my Uverse router is in an upstairs closet, and my TV is downstairs in the living room - too far apart to connect cables to both devices from my ATV2.   Do I need to somehow put a bridge router next to my TV, so that I can connect my ATV2 to both my bridge router and to my TV?  Thank you

  • How to connect apple TV with 2 Macs?

    Hi!
    I have connected/linked Apple TV with the iTunes library from my iMac (wireless). ..... Now, I have also downloaded some movies from iTunes on my MacBook. So I connected the MacBook (wireless) with Apple TV, but when I open Apple TV in iTunes on the MacBook I just get the choice of two tabs: +information and photos+. How can I move the movies?
    I think it has something to do with streaming, but I don't know how to get there.
    Thanks for any advice!

    At the bottom of Movies on AppleTV, do you see My Shared Movies - these new ones will probably be seen there as a second computer will be streaming only and it's content is selectable under My Shared.
    The top library in Settings>Computers is the sync/stream library, any below are streaming only and cannot transfer stuff to AppleTV only stream it live when the computer and itunes are running.
    Assuming both computers use the same account on iTunes, you could copy the movies from the Macbook (Show in Finder - copy the files do not move them or iTunes gets confused - if you want to delete do it from within iTunes) and add them to the iMac library.

  • How to connect apple tv with ios 8

    Troubleshooting WiFi Networks
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

    How do I connect the my iMac to Apple TV? 
    Apple TV is set up, I am able to use  airplay via iPhone and iPad but having difficulty connecting iMac to Apple TV

    The iMac must be connected to the same network as the ATV.
    Keep in mind some routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the network.

  • How to connect apple tv directly to computer using ethernet

    ok so im trying to figure out a way to plug in the Apple TV directly to my computers Ethernet port for direct streaming.  I am not allowed to use a router(College) so the only way i can possibly hook the Apple tv is directly through my computer ethernet.  My desktop has wireless so i dont need the port for internet.  I understand i wont have access to youtube or other internet content..thats fine.  Streaming is more important to me then that stuff.
    I have a PC desktop.  Any and all advice would be helpful.  Im assuming there is some setting on the desktop in order for me to tell the computer that the ethernet port is for streaming.
    Thanks,

    Just use a switch or hub

  • How to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with air play

    Hi...how to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with AirPlay

    Hi. Your Apple TV should be connected to the TV (I'm using HDMI cables) and connected to the internet via a wireless or ethernet connection.
    The best way to test AirPlay is to play a movie trailer from the iTunes store. When you play a trailer you will see the AirPlay symbol at the bottom of the screen. Click on it and it will show your AirPlay devices - in your case the Apple TV. Select it an your video and sound will come out of your TV.
    I hope this helps. Google the AirPlay symbol. I tried to paste it into this message with no success.

  • How do I run two Apple IDs with one computer and sync music content?

    I have a single PC which I have added all of the music to one my log in. My wife and I have Iphones and I want to run separate accounts for itunes, but sync music content from the single source to both phones. Whenever I have tried to do this in the past, it starts to sync all app to both phones. I tried to therefore have separate log ins on the pc itself, but when I have tried this, the music content does not update on my wifes itunes library, after I have added music to mine (ie imported a CD), even though I have linked my wife's music library for itunes purposes to my music folder (hopefully that makes sense!!). Can anyone help as this is driving me mad, otherwise I will just have to run from my account and delete all of my wifes apps etc whenever I sync my phone, and vice versa.
    Thanks!!!

  • Having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video

    II'm having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video or it won't stay connected. Help!

    Is it naive of me to think that Apple should simply provide a portal on their Apple TV menu for me to access my Amazon Instant Video movies?
    Maybe a little.  Amazon is a direct competitor, so it is not really in Apple's best interest to go out of its way to add support for a competing service that will cause Apple to lose money.  The bigger problem though is all of these video services using DRM to encrypt their content and lock it away from consumers so we can only watch content we pay for on certain devices.  Compaired to before when you could buy a DVD and watch it on any TV.  Now when you buy content you can only using it on a few specific devices.
    Is their failure to do so about an Amazon/Apple rivalry, or because the two have to make some kind of deal before this can happen
    They are competitors, but a bigger issue is that it is an incredibility complex legal agreement they would have to work out.  First there are legal agreements that would have to be worked out with literally thousands of copyright holders to distribute their content.  Then there is the software licenncing since Apple and Amazon would have to disclose how their DRM encrption works, then there are pateint agreements that can be worth billions that have to be worked out.  And all of that work would be so that they support a competator.  So there is not a lot motivating them to do something that would cost a lot of money and time.
    If watching Amazon content is really your major priority you might want to return your ATV and get a Roku.
