Have you enabled Home Sharing in iTunes?
Clearly the MBP and AppleTV need to see each other on the Local Network.
Presumably they are all connecting via the same router.
Check if you have any security software running that might be blocking communication if you have already enabled Home Sharing on the MBP.

  • How can I connect My MacBook Pro to Apple TV?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Apple TV but without success. Any ideas?

    How old is your MBP (year and season)?
     > About This Mac > More Info...
    Apple TV is supported on a early 2011 or newer MacBook Pros with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later.  If your MBP is older than that then you can use AirParot to connect to Apple TV.

    The yellow RCA jack is called "NTSC Analog Composite Video", or "Video" for short. You need an adapter to "Video".
    Exactly which MacBook Pro (or which output Display Port) do you have?

    hello how to connect my macbook pro to my car cd player

    If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP.  I do question the practicality of doing so.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.

  • Can´t connect my macbook pro to apple tv

    I can´t get my MacBook pro to connect apple tv.How to do?

    Hey Jonas!
    Depending on how you want to connect your computer to your Apple TV, I have a couple of articles for you that can help answer your question. First, if you have OS X Mountain Lion on your MacBook Pro, this article about AirPlay Mirroring will help you understand some of the options available to you with that feature, and at the bottom of the page is a link to instructions for setting up AirPlay Mirroring:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
    You can also have your iTunes Library connect to your Apple TV through a feature called Home Sharing, more information on which can be found here:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
    Hope that helps you understand some of the options available to you for connecting your MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • How to connect a MacBook Pro to internet with no cable, no Wifi, no ADSL?

    I'll need to connect my MacBook Pro to internet in an environment without any of the above mentioned means.
    1. What are the possibilities? GSM (mobile phone), a modem (express card?)?
    2. Where can I find the information on how to proceed?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    You can use a mobile phone as a modem. This can be done manually by yourself or automatic by a commercial third party software:
    Manual: you need the right scripts and connection settings and enter them manually in your network configurations. You find the right scripts and configuration hints here: http://www.taniwha.org.uk
    Automatic: try the demo of launch2net at http://www.launch2net.com which features a powerful configuration assistant which already includes all necessary network settings and scripts.
    The other option would be to use the XU 870 ExpressCard modem from Novatel at http://www.novatelwireless.com. If you are living in the USA and use Cingular, Apple has released a so called WWAN update with all settings. So you can use this ExpressCard in Cingular networks immediatly.
    Thank you

  • How can connect my Macbook Pro to a TV Monitor ?

    How can i connect my MacBook Pro to a TV monitor other way than 15 pin cable ?

    I would check out Monoprice. I bought this cable for my late 2011 MBP - it attaches to a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort and then out to HDMI. It's just a small adapter - under $7 - and worked quite well for me. You'll have to get a HDMI cable of your desired length to work with it. I also suggest using Monoprice for HDMI cables - they've excellent quality and low prices.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to LDC television

    I have a macbook pro 13-inch, mid 2012 model.
    I have an LCD television of 32 inch from panasonic (TH-L32C8K).
    My TV does not have hdmi port but have vga and AV ports.
    To connect to Macbook I bought an thunderbolt to hdmi cable. Then I bought an hdmi to vga cable. So my final arrangement is like this
    Macbook<-->thunderbolt-to-hdmi-cable<-->hdmi-to-vga-cable<-->Television
    On the television i changed to AV mode to PC. But nothing is shown on the tv screen. My TV works with other thing. When i connect the macbook pro, it does not show anything. Can you guys suggest whats going wrong? Before buying this macbook, i was like dreaming about it. But now life became so hard using the mac. Everything is pricy and not compatible to outside world devices.

    That's a complete mess and I am not suprised that it is not working.
    Instead of getting two adapters, you could just get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a simple VGA cable, so you can be sure it will work. Maybe you should have looked for more information before purchasing anything.

  • How do I connect my macbook pro to apple tv?

    I have a Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz i7 that I purchased last Summer and I want to wirelessly connect it to my TV via Apple TV.  I'm running the lastest OS X 10.7.3
    I watched a couple youtube videos and those people had an icon next to the wifi signal that allowed them to choose "apple tv." I don't have that icon. 
    Can anyone tell me what I need to do?  I'm pretty new to Macs so "hand holding" may be necessary!

    Hi Hartagold33... I guess what you saw is the 'AirParrot' icon, this is the App I would recommend for wirelessly connect to your TV via Apple TV. It works very well for me.
    It is pretty stable, demands a lot of CPU though, but don't worry, I have the same MB Pro you have: MBPro 2.7 i7 8GB RAM, it works very nicely.
    Let me know if this works for you...! Regards.

  • HT1338 How to connect my MacBook Pro to my 23" Cinema HD Display?

    My MacBook Pro has a Thunderbolt port and I have just bought a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adaptor to connect to my 23" Cinema HD Display which works fine on my old MacBook Pro.
    However, although my new MBP can detect the display, the monitor does not switch on and there is no sign of life.
    Any thoughts, please?

    Here you go - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019 - Use Video Mirroring.. if it fails
    - Shutdown disconnect the power for the cinema display, leave the mag safe on the MBP reset the smc - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Also i have questions about the following that you mentioned  - However, although my new MBP can detect the display, the monitor does not switch on and there is no sign of life.  <--- is your 23 Cinema HD display plugged into power / Magsafe ??

  • How to connect my Macbook Pro to play dvds on my TV

    What cables and which output ports are best to play DVDs on my Macbook pro and displaying the movies on my TV? I was thinking the video output would be either "mini display" or "firewire" and the audio would be the headphone audio out port, but I'm guessing and I would rather not buy a lot of cables I don't need.

    Actually, mini displayport is digital only so you can only output to digital standards like DVI or HDMI. If you have an old CRT w/ RCA inputs (the red, yellow, white inputs) then you won't be able to connect your MBP (at least not w/o an expensive convertor). There is a DVI to video adaptor but that is b/c DVI can transmit both digital and analog; your MBP, however, is not capable of sending an analog signal through there.
    Long story short, if you have a new TV w/ digital inputs, then there are a lot of options, but realistically none if you don't have digital inputs.
    You can buy this combination for HDMI:

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR842LL/A?mco=NDY5NzgwMw
    You can also buy a mini displayport to hdmi adapter and hdmi to hdmi cable from amazon (or other electronics stores).
    If your TV accepts DVI, you can get this combination:

    & a DVI to DVI cable not sold at the Apple store.
