I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.
Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

Mac Mini with a Samsung smart TV problem
Hello Everybody. This is my first time in here !
I hope someone would be able to share ideas or views about my issue.
I have a Mac Mini I used to plug into a Panasonic TV, using a a Mini Display to HDMI cable. Since the Mini Display port does not carry audio, I used a mini jack stereo to RCA cable from the Mac's speaker socket to the TV's audio. Everything worked pretty OK.
I just bought a new Samsung smart TV and planned to do the same thing. However, I was horrified to discover that the audio won't carry. From a little bit of research I have made, it turns out that the TV disables the audio once it realizes the DVI does not carry any, and therefore no sound is heard even though the RCA's connected.
One way to go around it was to rename the HDMI source to DVI - PC, but it doesn't work 100% of the time (for some reason) and did not work in my case.
So far, the Samsung guys I've spoked to you haven't been very helpful and offered that I use the TV's optical sound IN (which the TV doesn't have), and even then they did not know if it worked 100%.
I've found out that Mini Display + Stereo to HDMI adapter exists, but it's very expensive here (over 50 pounds, almost $100) and I'd like to find alternatives - The TV's speakers are pretty good and I'd like to avoid buying speakers, if I could work it out with simple cable work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.I ma having the same issue, I have one of the original Mini Mac and was connect to my Panasonic TV and everything worked fine.
I have bought a Samsung after been told by the shop it was the best and compatable only to find I like the person above cannot get any sound.
All ideas welcome.
Thanks in advance -
Can I control my Apple TV with a Samsung Smart Touch Remote?
I am trying to control my Apple TV2 with a Samsung 7 series Smart Touch remote. The Samsung universal remote options do not seem to work, nor does the Apple TV apear to be capable of reading inputs from the remote through the Apple TV 3rd party remote setup.
I do not know if anyone else noticed this. I have a Samsung Un55hu7250 and the above solution worked with one exception.
If you add it as a "Home Theater" type system then, you cannot tell the TV to use your actual home theater system for the volume control.
If you instead, On your tv got to system/device manager/Universal remote setup. Then choose blue ray device and type in apple. Select Apple, do the power on test, then select "no it didn't work". Then it will ask you to enter the model number of the Blue Ray device. Type in "Apple" in the search and it will list Both Apple1 and Apple2 in the device list. Select Apple2 and then you will have an Apple TV that is configured as a DVD Player so you can tell the TV to control the volume via the Home Theater system.
Net result, I have one remote again finally with Apple TV, Samsung TV, Dish Hopper, Sony BD, Antenna TV and surround sound. (Only if you are using the optical audio out to the theater system) -
How to produce a HD video compatible with a Samsung Smart TV
Using Compressor I need to produce a HD video compatible with an Smart Samsung TV.
I have tried many formats, but no one is readable. Could you help ?
CelesI did it with FCPX as mp4 without compressor. I put it on a USB key and it was possible to see it on my Samsung connecting the key to a USB port of the TV.
I have not the video with me now and cannot give you more info about the exact codec. For sure it was taken with an Olympus camera at 1080p and edited with european standards. The Samsung was bought in Germany.
Nothing to do with your question but only as a tip: Samsung TV has a proprietary Formatting for external HD to be used for recording. They have to be formatted by the TV and any video you record on this HD from the TV can be seen only with the same TV set. I found no way to edit or copy the recordings even to make a private backup.
For this reason I prefer to use an external receiver (Clarketech) to be free to edit the recordings. -
How do I do screen mirroring with a macbook?
I have a late 2009 macbook with lion 10.7.5 and cannot get this to work with my projector.
I tried to mirror the display, but the computer tells me this feature is disabled. The computer worked with the projector in the past before updating...
I am using a USB connection.Taking Screenshots in Mac OS X
Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it to the clipboard
Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it to the clipboard
Command-Control-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it to the clipboard
In Leopard and later, the following keys can be held down while selecting an area (via Command-Shift-4 or Command-Control-Shift-4):
Space, to lock the size of the selected region and instead move it when the mouse moves
Shift, to resize only one edge of the selected region
Option, to resize the selected region with its center as the anchor point

How extra screen working with cover MB Pro closed
I have a MacBook Pro a1229 17" running 10.6.8 ,
Extra screen : Apple Cinema HD Display 23" ,
wenn i close the cover from the powerbook , the extra screen is also going to sleep .
How to override this ?
Thanks ,
Bob ,Hello Roborny,
Based on your post it seems you would like to use your MacBook Pro while closed, and connected to a secondary display. I have linked to an article which provides the conditions that need to be met for closed clamshell usage:
Mac OS X 10.6: Using your portable computer with the display closed
With some portable computers, you can use your computer with the display closed. For example, you might want to close your computer’s display when using it to give a presentation on an external monitor connected to your computer.
To use the computer with the display closed, you must connect it to an external display, keyboard, and mouse. The power adapter must be plugged into the computer and into a power outlet.
You can also use a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard and mouse. Make sure to select “Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer” in Bluetooth preferences. Click the Advanced button in the lower-right corner to access this option.
To operate your portable computer with an external monitor attached and the display closed:
Connect a Universal Serial Bus (USB) keyboard and mouse to your computer.
Connect the power adapter to the computer and a power outlet.
Close the portable display to put the computer to sleep.
Connect your computer to an external display.
Wait a few seconds and then press any key on the external keyboard to wake the computer.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Annoying screen mirroring with Appletv
Hello,
The situation: i have just bought a Macbook and for quite some time already i have been a fan of using my AppleTV with my Ipad. Now, when sitting at home surfing and listening to music I prefer to use Spotify, Soundcloud etc with my Macbook. When i activate the ATV with the MB however, it always also mirrors my desktop screen to my television. When doing finances and stuff I prefer the ATV not to mirror my desktop activities.
Is there something like a method with which i can select only audio for the ATV?
Thank you for the reply!
Kind regards,
PeterHello, thank you for the reply!
I cannot select audio outputs however.. I've attached a screenshot to this email that hopefully clarifies.
Again, thanks.

TS3212 how do I do with my Samsung Galaxy Tab Note ?
It would be highly appreciated if there's some one could advise me how to do ?
I have to assume that you're trying to be funny. (It hasn't worked!
This is a forum for Apple products, if you want help with something made by Samsung, then perhaps you should seek advice form a forum dedicated to Samsung, or at the very least, a forum that has some knowledge of the operating system used in the Galaxy. Android, I believe. -
How to use mirroring with Apple TV
I want to use mirroring from my macbook pro onto my apple TV but I cannot find the airplay icon/app on either my macbook or my iphone 4S, what do I need to do to get started with mirroring. I cannot figure this out from the online user guides and discussions that I have read. Any suggestions?
Disregard...just realized I need to buy an appletv 2 in order to do mirroring.....that really *****!
I like the 1st gen and really didn't need to upgrade to a new one.
If there is some other way to do mirroring from my ipad2, please let me know before I drop more $$ on Apple product.
Thanks -
I'd like to create a wireless link from my mobile to a TV for screen and audio. I've tried a miracast dongle but only the screen was cast, no audio, don't know if that's a limitation of my phone or the dongle. Any help appreciated.
You can try Netgear PTV3000 but find a decent deal with ability to return without any reason.
I have one and it's a mixed bag of success and failures. Mostly failures like dropped frames or choppy audio.
EDIT: If you look for something that you put into TV anyway think about MHL to HDMI. It has it's own issues but is much stable solution.

Airplay screen mirroring on 4:3 projector, resolution problems.
Hi!
I have an iPad 3, an ATV3 and a NEC NP400 projector which I'm trying to get to work together. I'm not sure about the projectors resolution, but i know it has a 4:3 aspect ratio.
I've tried to use screen mirroring with both the ATV 3 and a VGA adapter, and the problem is that I get black bars on each side no matter which method I use. I understand that the iPad 3 has a 4:3 aspect ratio and that black bars would appear with a 16:9 screen, but not on a 4:3 screen which is the ipads native aspect ratio.
It feels as if the iPad by defalut assumes that I'm having a 16:9 projector and adjust the aspect ratio to that fact. Is there anyway to tell the iPad that i'm having a 4:3 projector? Or should it detect that automatically?
The ATV fills the whole screen without black bars on each side, but as soon as I'm turning screen mirroring on via airplay the aspect ratio changes. There is no difference if I'm using the ATV or the VGA adapter.
How does these things work, and is there a solution?`
