HOW TO? Send secondary display to Apple TV (Airplay mirroring)

I have a 2012 iMac. It has a secondary display attached through HDMI. It runs Mountain Lion.
I just an Apple TV.
I can mirror the primary iMac screen.
I would like to instead mirror the secondary display.
Is this possible?

Hi _MicMacs_,
It sounds like you've been on the right track in trying to sort out this issue. I'm a bit unclear on what you are describing when you say it works initially, but then immediately reverts when you click back on something in your primary display. You may want to try sizing the window to the display instead of using the full screen option (two opposing diagonal arrows), though this will leave the window border around the screen. For a bit more background on working with multiple displays in Mavericks, you may find the following article helpful:

    how to send a feedback to apple about safari problem?
    the problem is with a site of mobile phones, www.190.it
    impossible to log in with safari browser.
    with firefox or others no problem

    Hi Ginada
    Feedback to Apple can be made via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple selection, or here. Apple doesn't respond to either; rather, uses the information for internal purposes.
    Your alternative, if in the US and machine is under warranty including telephone support, would be to call Apple Care. 800-275-2273

  • How to create a 'parallel' extended display through Apple TV Airplay

    Dear all,
    I'm a relatively new Mac user and have not been able to find an answer to my question by looking up key words in Google or here, so apologies if this has been answered before.
    Basically, I would like to know how I can project a video file or a film/TV series I am watching (for example, a video playing in VLC or a film streaming from my subscription to Amazon Prime Instant Video website, open in a browser) onto my Toshiba TV, via Apple TV airplay - whilst still being able to work on a separate window/desktop on my MacBook Air.
    As a PC user slowly converting to Mac, I know how to do this on a PC by using the Windows logo key +P shortcut, choosing 'Extend' instead of 'Duplicate' and then dragging whatever video source I want to watch into the extended desktop screen being projected on my TV. I've tried doing this on the Mac by
    using the multiple desktops in Mission Control (with no success, as Airplay obviously just mirrors what I'm doing on my screen onto the TV, i.e. switching from desktop to desktop as I do on the computer), or
    by clicking 'Extend Desktop' instead of the automatic 'Mirror Built-in Display' on the Airplay icon on the menu bar and then dragging the browser into the extended display on the TV and hitting the 'Full screen' button of the video itself. However, as soon as I do this and click or type anything on my computer desktop, the video automatically minimizes and all I'm left with on the TV display is the browser with the initial smaller version of the film playing within it. In the 'View' tab, I've tried switching Firefox/Safari to 'Full screen' before making the video 'Full screen' too, but again, as soon as I touch anything back on my Mac desktop it minimizes. I've noticed Chrome has an 'Enter Presentation Mode' option available in the 'View' tab, which leaves the video playing full screen, but with a grey bar at the top (which is visually annoying, but still closer to what I'm looking for). Similarly, if I try to drag a video file playing in VLC, as soon as I hit the full screen button, the desktop I'm using on the Mac goes black even though I can still move the cursor on it.
    I'm clearly missing a step somewhere, so any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a prolific multitasker!

  • How to send Earphones back to Apple(Warranty)??

    Hi, i got a problem with my earphone.
    my left earphone was garbled so i went to this website and ordered new ones for free(I still have warranty). Everything is fine so far, I got the new earphones and they work, but I don't know how to send the broken ones back. Apple said that I would get instructions how to send them back, but i didnt get any, only a letter that I dont have to pay anything because of my warranty.
    So now Im trying to find out if the carrier matters and what carrier it is. I really dont know what to do. My repair status number is D10792823.
    Im really mad right now because if I dont get my earphones sent to Apple I have to pay a $29 non-return fee.
    Hope somebody can help me.
    Marcel
    (Sry for my post in the others thread, I didnt know how to open a new thread)

    If you need to send them back, there will be shipping label under the one that shipped them to your house. Peel off the top label.
    You would use the same carrier.
    Everything is already paid for so don't fill out new forms and don't pay anything.
    You can go here -> https://support.apple.com/repairstatus/Main
    and check on the status. It should show Awaiting customer return (or something similar) if they want them back.
    If in doubt, call 1-800-myapple.

  • How to send a request to Apple?

    Would someone please point me in the right direction to send and/or make a request to Apple. In particular, I would like to make a request to have Graphics card/energy saver selection for my MBP. It was a selection in Leopard, but not in SL. I could choose between one Graphics card for energy savings and another for higher performance, but now I do not have the ability to choose. I've searched under customer service, customer requests, etc, but I just can't seem to remember the term that has been used in this forum.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Better is to send a bug report or an enhancement request to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • How to send a video to apple support

    Before I contact apple support or while I am communicating with apple support, I would like to send a video of my (problem) screen because it is easier to see what is going on than it is to explain.

    Unfortunately, they do not have an e-mail address except for specific online services.     What you may want to do is find an authorized service center nearby and bring the computer to them.   Apple's website http://www.apple.com/contact/ lists which services have online e-mail forms, and here are their support phone numbers.   Depending on your country, http://www.apple.com/xx/buy will be the link to your country's search engine to find an authorized service center.    xx is the two letter code for all non-USA countries used when you switch to your country's website for Apple using the country link on the bottom of http://www.apple.com/
    So http://www.apple.com/ca/buy would be Canada's link.

  • How to send browser display HTML page as HTML Email using JSF

    Thanks
    Saman

    Subhash,
    Here is one approach..
    1. Make the report page as PUBLIC ( no Authentication required)
    2. Create procedure which will pull the page content and send it to pre-defined e-mail address
    2.1 Use utl_http.request to pull the page content
    2.2 Store the page content in some PL/SQL variable and pass it as 'p_body_html' parameter to APEX_MAIL.SEND procedure.
    3. Schedule the above procedure to run on daily using DBMS_JOB API.
    I have not implemented it and its just a thought.

  • Send html mail with apple mail

    I used to send a html newsletter with apple mail. I opened the html file in safari pressed cmd + i and a html mail was created. On Yosemite there seems to be a bug with this feature. After pressing cmd + i it creates a mail and html website is selected in this mail, but the mail body is empty. Now I have no ideo how to send the newsletter. Apple mail was the only way to achive a correctly displayed newsletter on most common mail clients.
    Does anyone have the same problem or a solution?

    Seems to be a bug in Safari under Yosemite. Occurs only with HTML pages which are stored locally on the Mac and then opened with Safari.
    Two options for a work around:
    (1)
    When Apple Mail shows a blank page, choose PDF instead of WEB PAGE in the mail header.
    Thereafter, the contents will appear as a PDF attachment.
    (2)
    Publish the HTML page. Surf with Safari to the published page. Use the command "File : Send : Email this page".
    Now it should work.

  • Sending mail from an Apple alias?

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 3GS and am trying to figure out how to send mail from an Apple alias. It only let's me send it from my Apple ID account (which I made when I was 11 or so and is really immature, haha) and not the alias that I use to send mail from when I'm on my Mac.
    Is there a way to do it? I read that one person created a separate inbox with their alias, but it doesn't accept mine since I don't use it to log in (it has no password). I did try to use my Apple ID password, but that doesn't work either.
    Thanks so much!
    Caleb

    If all you are looking to do is send an email from a different "from" account (aliased email), just simply put that email account in the Address field separated by a comma. It works almost identical to Mail on OSX. It will then take whatever account you have setup with the primary and add that as an email aliased from account. You then send (or reply) to your email select which "from" address you would like to use and you should be set. Hope this helps.
