How to connect my apple tv to my 27 inch iMac?

I have all the cables connected to my iMac, but I can't bring up apple tv. Please help!

Apple TV doesn't connect to an iMac or any computer, it is a media streaming device and meant for an HDTV. Since you would be able to stream the content using an iMac i'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by connecting them.

    Contact the University's IT dept, they may be able to set something up on the network to allow the ATV to connect without the need for a user name/password.

    Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

    How to connected my Creative WP-350 Headset to my iMac. The device has been found it will not connect?

    You're profile indicates your Mac has v10.5.1 installed.
    If that is correct, you need to update to v10.5.8.
    Click Software Update from your Apple  menu drop down menu or open System Preferences > Software Update.
    After the update is installed, restart your Mac.
    Turn off the printer then turn it back on then try printing via USB.
    If that didn't help, try here >  Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers

    This is only possible with the first generation Apple TV, as you can sync items to it. The second generation Apple TV does not do this.

  • How to Connect My Apple TV to My Panasonic SC-PT760 Home Theater

    Hello;
    I currently use the Panasonic SC-PT760 as the Home Theater DVD Player which only has 1 HMDI output and connects directly to the HD TV, also I have the Direct TV connected to the Home Theather via AUX.
    I am wondering how should I connect my apple TV, if I would like to connect ut via HMDI. Is a HMDI switch an option or what should I do ?
    Please advise.

    You can purchase HDMI switches but don't expect them to work perfectly in _every_ configuration. What I mean is that your mileage may vary, it may work, or it may not. However, chances are good that it will but I'd make certain that you can return the HDMI switch if it doesn't work correctly when paired with you DVD player and the Apple TV and your HDTV.
    By the way, does your TV have component inputs? If so you can use the Apple TV's component outputs to get HD but then you'll have to route the audio from the Apple TV either over standard RCA stereo plugs or via the digital audio optical connection on the Apple TV (assuming again that your HDTV has optical audio inputs, but I see that you receiver has an optical input so that should work too).

  • How to connect to apple remote

    How do I connect my Apple Remote-USA to my Nano IPod?  I bought the remote a year ago, recently found it after misplacing it, and tried to pair it with my Nano IPod but it is not working.  The battery is working.  I tried the simple directions of holding down the right and Menu for 5 seconds while pointing the remote to my IPod but nothing happens.  I want to control my IPod from the remote a few feet away so that I do not have to always go to the IPod itself and make my selections.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi
    Launch ARD, select Scanner. ARD presents Bonjour as the default discovery protocol. Click on this tab and select Network Address. Key in the IP addresses of the two you're interested in. Clearly you would have to know their IP addresses first so I would make a note of these if you're able.
    The rest is fairly obvious from there.
    HTH?

  • How to connect my apple TV to an analogue ampli / hifi system

      Hello, i have been looking for an answer to this question for quite some time.
    I would like to stream my music on my hifi system using apple TV as an airport express.
    I found out that this was possible by connecting the apple TV through the optical port to my hifi system.
    My ampli has only analague RCA ports. Is there a way to link these two with a good quality? I found "Digital to analogue converter" on the web but will it work? which brand should i choose to get a good quality?
    thank you very much

    You can use the remote app on iPhone but that would require home sharing to be setup and both on the same network. If that's not the case you will need a new remote.

  • How to connect a apple cinema display to an imac

    I have a brand new 27 inch iMac. I also own a 30 inch  Apple Cinema Display.  What peripheral adaptor do I need to connect the display to my new iMac?

    Hello,
    Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort-> Dual Link DVi cable...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter
    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.
