How to share from Macbook(using wifi) to Apple TV (using ethernet)?

Hi-
I recently moved in to my college dorm. I brought my Apple TV, and IT said the only way to hook it up was to directly connect the Apple TV with the ethernet cable in my dorm. That works fine, and I can still access Netflix and the other apps using the cable; however my MacBook Pro does not show that it's available to share it's screen on to the Apple TV anymore.
When I was using Apple TV at home, we set it up through our secured wifi network, and could press a button to share my Mac screen onto the TV's.
I think that since the Apple TV and my MacBook Pro are using different wifi networks or settings, it isn't allowing me to do that anymore.
Is there any way to still project my Mac's screen on to the Apple TV? I do not want other people to have access to my computer if I change the settings for internet sharing, but I still want to be able to share my screen onto the TV.
Thank you so much, I'd love an answer.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Many college/university networks will not allow communication between devices on that network. One workaround is to create your own network by installing something like an Airport Extreme and connecting it to your dorm ethernet connection. Unfortunately, some of these institutions won't allow this workaround either.

    No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
    Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.

    I don't know what AppleTV can handle as far as bit rate is concerned, but increase the bit rate as high as it will let you. You are taking DV which is 25Mb/s and compressing it. If you're making an H.264, you should get great results needing no more than 6Mb/s. Bear in mind, the higher the bit rate, the larger the file size.

    About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

  • Will my Mac automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

    Will my 2012 Macbook pro retina  automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

    Depends.
    If you go in System Preferences / Network, you will see a list of all the network interfaces your current configuration has. If you click on the gear icon next to the minus sign, the drop menu will offer "Set Service Order...". There you can prioritize the order of use: Ethernet above Wi-Fi and wireless will be ignored if Ethernet is available.
    Note that the Wi-Fi card will remain active and associated with an access point nonetheless. It just won't be used for communications by the OS and apps.

  • How do I get rented movies from MacBook to appear on Apple TV?

    I can buy movies and they appear fine, but when I rent a movie on MacBook for play on Apple TV, nothing appears in Apple TV under Movies. (And I've updated the firmware on Apple TV).
    Any guidance?

    You may well be right, the opening paragraph seems to support you in the sense that you can watch them on the tv, but the whole issue of transferring it to the tv is a little vague.
    In essence it may well be that simply watching the movie via streaming is what most people will want to do anyway, if that is indeed how it works.
    If transferring is allowed then I assume this would be a straight transfer and not a sync, since only one device can have the movie at a time.
    In my situation my goal would be to rent from the mac and stream it to my tv's since I have more than one of them. If however I have to transfer it to watch it, this then causes a problem. If we assume for the time being that movies can be transferred to the tv but not the other way around, I have no way to move the movie back from tv #1 to itunes to send it to tv #2.
    I'm now less certain than I was but I'm still inclined to think that we won't be able to transfer rented content from itunes to the tv, but I have to wonder if this will really be an issue for most of us.

  • I am all of the sudden unable to airplay or home share from macbook air to apple tv

    worked for 2 years, nothings changed on my end and now it doesnt.  I cant home share, nor can i airplay from my macbook air to my apple tv or my ipad to my apple tv.  The iphone works fine.  I reset all settings, turned devices on and off, turned home sharing on and off.  I reset my modem and router both seperately and together.  Nothing works.  Apple wants me to pay 29 bucks plus tax just to talk to them about it.

    Hi, John,
    I have the same problem than you, please if you found a solution write that on this post My Facetime stopped working on my iPhone after i bought a macbook pro I will do the same with your post if I find the solution.

  • How to manage a MacBook Pro + Time Capsule + Apple TV combo?

    Hi, everyone. I'm a new user to Mac techonology and I have a few doubts I'd like to clear before I acquire some new stuff and avoid a useless expense.
    I just bought a 500 GB 15" MacBook Pro, and I've always used several external USB hard drives for backup (one HDD) and releasing space from my computer (two HDD). So you can imagine how much I have to juggle with since I'm an avid iTunes store customer for TV shows, movies and music, on a weekly basis. So, you can imagine also a 500GB internal HDD will fill up eventually with all the rest of the data I have.
    I'm thinking about buying a 2TB Time Capsule to get rid of all the cables, countless copy/drags/syncs, and reduce the number of external HDD's. And I just got a new Apple TV as a birthday gift (don't have it yet with me) so I can enjoy all my media in the living room.
    So, would Time Capsule be the best option? To backup my MacBook AND use it as a data storage external HDD for files that fill up the MacBook (movies and tv episodes)? Also, can both options be accessed remotely for sharing purposes and for Apple TV playing?
    I hope I'm making myself clear enough. Does anyone have an accurate idea if what I'm trying to go for is possible? I'd hate to spend 500 bucks on a Time Capsule and not defeat my current "management" of data.
    Please help.
    Best regards,
    Martin V.F.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.

    You don't want to mix Time Machine backups and other types of files on the Time Capsule disk. By design Time Machine will eventually fill up the Time Capsule disk, making it hard to manage your other files. Instead, connect a USB disk drive to the Time Capsule and put those other files there. Size the Time Capsule disk strictly for Time Machine backups. Since Time Machine won't back up the files on that external Time Capsule drive, you'll have to arrange for that some other way.
    Also, can both options be accessed remotely for sharing purposes and for Apple TV playing?
    If you want to share the Time Machine backups, why?? If iTunes can find the files on the Time Capsule external drive, then the AppleTV should be able to access them.
