How to connect to Apple TV using MacBook Air

I Subscribe to a British streaming service that does not show the apple tv icon on its downloading screen.
i Can get onto Apple TV on the iPad by using control centre, but iPad drops the input often.
i Have a MacBook Air that is more reliable streaming  but don't know how to find how to transfer downloading to my apple tv.
thanks for any help

  • How can I know if the used macbook air I want to buy has been stolen?

    Hi!
    I'm looking to buy a used MacBook Air 11 inch - mid 2013. I have the serial number, but I can't find the date of purchase. The seller is not the first owner, he doesn't have the bill or any papers, he doesn't know when the original owner bought it, and he doesn't how to reach him either. When I try to look at the infos on https://selfsolve.apple.com/RegisterProduct.do?productRegister=Y&country=FRA&id= C02M5570F5N7, the site gives me the model and it ask me to confirm de date of purchase. LIke this:
    Is it safe to buy this computer or not?
    Thank you!

    I concur with Barry Hemphill.
    In the USA, if the property is determined to have been stolen, it must be surrendered by the individual in possession of it with no compensation.
    The circumstances you describe are too suspicious.
    Ciao.

  • How to connect two thunderbolt devices to Macbook Air?

    I have been using an Apple thunderbolt to VGA adapter to connect my digital projector to a Macbook Air.  Now I need to also connect a pro audio firewire mixer, which has a firewire 400 cable.  If I didn't have to connect the projector as well, I presume that the way to go would be to use an Apple thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter with an 800 to 400 adapter on the end, but as I have two devices I am rather stumped.
    I know that thunderbolt/mini display is for daisy chaining, so there isn't such a thing as a thunderbolt hub, except that I could maybe use the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock (expensive as it is, it may be a cheaper option than others).  I have read mixed reviews of this device, but it looks like it could essentially work - one thunderbolt cable to connect the Macbook to the dock, then use the Firewire 800 port on the dock with an 800-400 adapter for the mixer and the second thunderbolt port on the dock for the projector with the VGA adapter.  I am wondering if there are any other possible solutions though, other than buying a Macbook Pro!
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Sounds like a good suggestion but it is from 2009 and out of stock at Amazon.
    This URL lists a newer one and says it is Mac compatible.  I also do not have any experience with this product.
    http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-UGA-165-1920x1080-1600x1200-DisplayLink/dp/B004AI JE9G/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_7
    General advice:  Keep all the packaging material in case you need to to return it in the 30 day Amazon return period (assuming it qualifies for a return).  Purchase it on a credit card with consumer protection that entitles you to a refund if the seller will not accept the return.

  • How to connect my HP 3070A to Macbook Air wirelessly

    I've got a new MacBook Air and want to connect to my HP Deskjet 3070A either wirelessly or with a cable.  I've got the printer installation disc but of course no outlet on the Mac.  Can anyone help?  I'm not very techie I'm afraid so it'll need to be simple!

    Hello Owady,
    Welcome back to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to help get the Deskjet 3070a installed on your MacBook Air. Since the MacBook Air does not have a C.D drive, you will need to install the software via a download.
    Depending on your Operating System installed on the Mac you will need to choose one of the following links below.
    HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    HP Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X v10.7
    HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6
    If using Mac OS X v 10.9, let me know and I will get the Apple software link.
    Cheers,
    JERENDS

  • How to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012

    how to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012.  The airplay is not displayed anywhere except I Tunes which only plays what is on I Tunes.

    Howdy there nell a-7,
    It sounds like you are not seeing the Airplay icon in the menu bar on your Mac but you do see it in iTunes. I would use these steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
    Try these steps first
    Verify that your iOS device's software is up to date.
    Verify your Apple TV's software is up to date.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    All AirPlay-enabled devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a Guest Network. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General >Network and ensure that you're connecting to the same Wi-Fi network on your iOS device. On your iOS device, tap Setting > Wi-Fi and confirm that this matches your Apple TV.
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon  , try one of the following steps:
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • I bought a used macbook air, with reinstalled the OS without iMovie. How can I get iMovie on App free of charge as a default in macbook air ?

    I bought a used macbook air, with reinstalled the OS without iMovie. How can I get iMovie on App free of charge as a default in macbook air ?

    Unfortunately, as recommended by the lady from CA, as long as the Mac is still associated with the Apple ID of the original owner, you can't even buy those iLife apps with that Mac. You will always get the alert to download them with the original owner's Apple ID.
    As suggested by the chavo from España, you need the original owner to contact Apple Care* and request that the OS and the iLife apps be disassociated from his Apple ID. Then you should be free to OS X Recovery to resinstall the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac and install the iLife apps. Afterward, before using any of the iLife apps you need to open the Mac App Store (MAS) to the Purchases pane and Accept these apps into your MAS account's Apple ID. If you use any of the iLife apps before you have accepted them into your account, as per the app's Terms of Use, they all become one-trick-ponies that can not be downloaded onto another Mac or updated.

    *If you bought the Mac from a 2nd hand shop and don't have access to the original owner, you may need to provide Apple a purchase receipt to offer proof of sale.

  • Used Macbook Air- How to wipe clean

    I just got a used Macbook Air and I want to clean the computer so that there is nothing left over from the person who gave it to me. Can I do this myself or should I just take it to the apple store and let them clean it off for me? If I can do it myself please walk me through the steps.

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

    How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

    Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.

    No computer can do a thing without using memory. 1.5 GB is very little. It's normal.
    3 or so hours from a full charge may also be normal, for what you are doing. As batteries age, they don't last as long on a full charge as they did when they were new. All batteries eventually wear out, and are easily replaceable.

    Jeffrey-
    If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input?  I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried.  I understand a composite video adapter is also available.
