How to send computer screen to sleep whilst watching Apple TV via airplay using Yosemite?

Does anybody know how to send computer screen to sleep whilst watching Apple TV via airplay using Yosemite? I've tried the hot key Shift + Control + Eject, but that sends the TV's screen as well as my iMac's screen to sleep at the same time. I don't want the 2 screens playing at the same time - I would like to send the computer's screen to sleep whilst the Apple TV continue's to play/mirror. Hoping someone knows how to do this?

Thanks Vazandrew for your detailed explanation. I think you've answered my question in that what I'm wanting to do is not possible because it is mirroring in its entirety, unless it is being done via iTunes. 
I live in hope that Apple (can in-time) organise the same screen sleep capability that operates via iTunes for people wanting to stream regular online TV via iMac!
I would like to mark my question as answered by you, but had already checked the helpful star before going to mark the answered check mark. Didn't realise you could only mark one or the other…with no editing function.
Your explanation as to what is going on with the mirroring was much appreciated, as I couldn't figure out why the short cut keys worked sometimes (via iTunes) and not others (via regular streamed online TV).

    If you are saying that you've forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode for your iTunes to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Peer-to-peer AirPlay
    With peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device and Apple TV don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have one of these products, you can use peer-to-peer AirPlay:
    * iPhone 5 or later, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 8 or later.
    * Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later. Find out which Apple TV model you have.
    To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device needs to have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

  • I lost my I phone 4 , how to track it's imei number from the apple id that  I used in that lost iPhone

    I lost my I phone 4 , how to track it's imei number from the apple id that  I used in that lost iPhone

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • How do I get non-iTunes content to stream to AppleTV via airplay?

    I have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and I want to use the airplay feature to stream web content to my AppleTV.  I saw how to enable airplay in iTunes and did that.  The icon was there and my AppleTV showed up in the list when I clicked it.  It is my understanding that I need to have a recent version of hardware to make use of airplay.  I have a Macbook Air, late 2010 version.
    My AppleTV is on.  I can stream to it with an iPad, so it is functioning.  When I select content in iTunes, nothing happens.  The video window appears and starts playing and... nothing.  Ultimately I want to be able to stream from other apps like Safari.  Any ideas?

    Settings-displays-look at the bottom and you should see an airplay menu select your apple tv

  • How to keep the screen in sleep mode while using the Apple Remote?

    i use the imac to play soft music for me to fell at sleep, but sometime i just want to turn the volume down/mute/stop. but the screen keep come back on and brighten up my room.
    would this be possible? is there any program that could adjust this option?
    any cmd that i could run to fix this?
    thanks

    I appreciate the help A Brody, but this does not solve what I am asking. I like being able to focus on something like a YouTube video without having to worry about losing my "spot" if I want to move the cursor to pause the movie. I want to do this on demand and not have to worry about clicking a bunch of different stuff or opening a screenshot in Preview.
    If my iMac can do it, then how can my MacBook do it?

  • How to send wide-screen slideshow to iDVD?

    Hi there,
    is there a way to create a wide-screen slideshow in iPhoto and send it unaltered to iDVD? Whatever I try, it stubbornly wants to reformat the slideshow with a 4/3 aspect ratio.
    Any hints would be very much appreciated, and yes, I do have Photo2Movie, but I'm interested whether it's possible from iPhoto
    Cheers Martin

    Martin:
    How are you creating the slideshow in iPhoto? Did you crop the photos to the 16:9 ratio before creating the slideshow? That's what I did and then did the Share to iDVD. I made sure I had a widescreen theme and that iDVD was set to widescreen under the Project menu.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do I connect Bowers & Wilkins speakers to my MacBook Pro via AirPlay?

    The speakers connect with my iPhone & iPad no problem but the speakers do not show under the AirPlay icon on the top toolbar of my MacBook Pro.
    When I go into Preferences > Sound > Output, I can then see the speakers but my Bluetooth speaker connection seems to take precedent - i.e. I can't change it to the B&W - I actually want to use both as the speakers are located in different rooms.
    Thank you

    The Airplay Icon on the menu bar running along the top of the screen, is for 'Airplay Mirroring' to an Apple TV. Audio is managed by Sound Preferences.
    In Sound Preferences you can only select 1 audio output device as this is associated with 'System Audio' (from Safari and notifcations).
    In order to use both the Bluetooth speaker and an Airplay speaker at the same time, I recommend using iTunes, as you're able to select multiple speakers.

  • How to Use My TV screen as a Computer Screen

    Hi everyone,
    I have a 24" Intel IMAC, 1 year old. Great computer! I saw in some other posts that this is possible but I didn't quite understand what I need to do. I would like to use my TV screen as a computer screen, so I can watch things like my subscription to MLB.TV or any other video that I can play on my IMAC. I saw in some posts about using an Apple Video Adapter. Please be specific for me, is that what connects from the back of my IMAC? If so which slot? And going out from the computer, what does that connect to? What should I buy? And from there I can use a composite cables to connect to my TV? Yes, I have inputs for those on the TV.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
    Bill

    Your TV based on the jacks present (which are the same as ports), sound like quite an antique. Modern TVs have special jacks for computer hookup. Sounds like your TV has none. The best you'd hope to achieve is 720 x 480 resolution which would result in very little room for the windows on your screen, and very large text on your TV. Trying to even get the menubar and dock on the screen will be a challenge since TVs that only offer 720 x 480 resolution don't offer any screen area beyond the screen safe area for the menubar and Dock to be visible. It will just center on the screen's center, cutting off 20% of the exterior four sides. Ideally you'd want a 1080P HD-TV for computer hookup.

    Hello
    For using FTP function in LabVIEW, I recommend you to check this document: FTP Basics
    Also, take a look at FTP Browser.vi, which is available at the Example Finder.
    To edit a XML file, try to use VIs in XML palette. Maybe Write to XML.vi helps you.
    Post your current VI if possible.

  • Connecting iPod directly to computer screen for video

    Hi everyone
    I would like to connect my iPod directly to my computer screen at work for watching videos after hours. Is there anyway (cable/adapter) to connect the iPod directly to the screen (DVI or VGA)?
    I can't connect the iPod directly to the computer nor do I have a TV...
    Many thanks

    Depends on your screen. Some have ability to take RCA inputs. If yours does then get an iPod dock that supports RCA transfer.
