How to view a dvd via airplay

I'm very surprised that it isn't possible to look a bought dvd via airplay on apple TV.
In the shop they told everything what you look on the imac you can mirror via airplay and apple tv on a tvscreen or beamer!
But it doesn't work with a simple moviedvd!
What is Apples solution to look a simple dvd via apple TV. I mean there is a very good and a very usable technik but it is not to use to look a dvd???
Thank you and best regards
Michael

It is not possible.

DVD via Airplay: Kein Bild, stattdessen Karos?

Hallo,
wenn ich in meinen Mac eine DVD lege und diese via Airplay auf das TV Gerät streame, funktioniert der Ton, aber das Bild nicht.
Auf dem TV Gerät werden dann grau/weiße Karos angezeigt, auf dem Mac parallel dann auch.
Sobald ich Airplay wieder ausschalte, ist die Darstellung auf dem Mac wieder richtig.
Ton wird einwandfrei übertragen - nur das Bild eben nicht.
Woran kann das liegen?
Update vom Apple TV habe ich laufen lassen. Keine Änderung!
LG + Danke für eine Info!

Über den VLC Player klappts. Das geht wohl standartmäßig nicht über Airplay und DVD. Unglaublich.......

How to view active services via terminal e.g. status of AFP etc...

Hi : )
How do I view whether AFP is enabled or not via the terminal?
I thought I could view /etc/hostconfig to get the answer when logged in via e.g. SSH. But in Leopard running the following terminal command:
cat /etc/hostconfig | grep "=\-" | sort
Always shows AFPSERVER as NO whether or not file sharing is turned on or not.
At the top of this file, it says #this file is going away. So I'm guessing there is another / better way to view this.
Hunting around a bit, I found that if I:
netstat -a
and filesharing is running, there are two entries *.afpovertcp and *.afpovert in the output.
tcp4 0 0 *.afpovertcp . LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 *.afpovert . LISTEN
Turning off filesharing removes these from netstat.
Doing the above command takes a few seconds to get a result as it seems to poll a whole range of different services and protocols, which as I'm calling this from a script I don't have time for, so if I:
netstat -a -f inet6 | grep afp
I get a near instantaneous result of:
tcp6 0 0 *.afpovert . LISTEN
if filesharing is turned on and null if it is turned off.
Can anyone point me in a different direction? Is there another way? Or is this as good as any?
Thanks...

Actually, after further review, this method doesn't work as it only returns the last log entry for AFP status rather than the current status.
E.g. the last log entry could be AFP Control: AFP Error but if the computer is then restarted, AFP Control doesn't get logged in the system log on restart. Hence the egrep command still returns: AFP Error, when in fact AFP is actually enabled and running.
Hence back to my original question! anyone know a way to view if FileSharing is currently active via the terminal, even when there are no connected users other than:
netstat -a -f inet6 | grep afp
and looking for:
tcp6 0 0 *.afpovert . LISTEN
as the result??? Or is this a reliable method? i.e. if afpovert is present is that a hard and fast way of discovering filesharing is enabled?

How can I stream music via AirPlay but still have an internet connection?

Hi guys,
Ive just bought an Airplay speaker but I seem to be missing something here as I can't figure out how to stream my audio on my iPhone to the AirPlay speaker but still use the internet by either WiFi or 3G at the same time. I stream all my music using iTunes Match or Spotify.
There are volume buttons, a power button and wifi button on the AirPlay speaker. The instructions state to press the wifi button for a few seconds then it will appear as a wifi connection on other devices. And so it does. It comes up in my wifi list on my iPhone and on my Mac too. So as it suggests, I connect to the speaker's wifi connection, and if I go to the Control Centre, AirPlay gives me the option to choose the speaker and it connects to it fine. It streams music that's locally on my iPhone, but when I try to connect to Spotify, stream something using iTunes Match or just use the internet on my phone, there's absolutely no connection. Of course it seems to be using the speaker as the primary and only connection to the internet.
If I try to connect back to my home wifi network, I get my internet connection back, but lose connection to the AirPlay speaker! It just disappears altogether. So what am I doing wrong here?
I've tried the same on my Mac but having the exact same problem. Can anyone please advise me where I'm going wrong?
Other notes: I am using a Virgin Media Superhub 2 with dual band 2 and 5 GHz connection options, Technika AirPlay Speaker, iPhone 5S and a MacBook Pro.
Thank you in advance!

You're not setting things up properly. You need to first connect this speaker to YOUR network, not create a network using the speaker. I suspect there is a setup menu for this speaker to do so. Check the documentation or the maker's web site for instructions.

Only view selected photo via Airplay

Hello,
I have thousands of photos on my iPad. With iOS7 and iPhoto it was possible to select a photo on the left side and this photo was streamed to Apple TV. And when the audience watched the photo I searched on the left side the next photo, clicked on it and this photo was streamed. I think the setting called "Only view active photo" or something like that. It was very comfortable.
Now in iOS8 without iPhoto I can only view the mirror of my iPad /all photos) to select a photo and then the selected photo in fullscreen. To select a new photo I have again to switch to all photos and have to select the new photo I want to show.
Now I'm looking for a app or solution, that I can find and select a new photo while the audience watch only one selected photo on my TV.
I hope it is quite clear what I mean...
Thanks a lot for your help
Daniel

Yes, the data rate of your video is unnecessary (about 50 Mbps) Assuming it's 1080p it needs to be no more than around 10 Mbps.
Your video needs finishing (converting) which you can do either at the end of an editing process or in a stand alone application such as Quicktime.
If it takes time to buffer, it's not mirroring, mirroring is live, it's sending the Apple TV the file which is far to large. Although you should expect some buffering.

I am really frustrated - is it possible to view a DVD that is playing on my iMAC, on my HDTV through Apple TV??

I have been trying to figure out how to view a DVD movie that is playing on my iMAC, onto my HDTV through Apple TV... I am not getting the "conventional" Apple TV icon on my IMac Screen. I have the AirplayIt app ... Can anyone assist?

Firstly, not all Macs will do AirPlay mirroring.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better 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). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
Secondly, Apple's DVD application blocks AirPlay use for licensing reasons, you would need to use a third party DVD application such as VLC.

Does is matter that I have mac computer & want adobe flash to view work material via citrix/windows?

Ok... this is probably a completely ignorant computer question, but I have a macbook and have been trying now for hours to figure out how to view work training via citrix that connects me to windows explorer somehow (b/c I'm somehow connecting to my work network). So after logging into citrix & my net learning via explorer, I get a msg that states I need the latest version of Adobe flash to view the task. So I went and downloaded the newest 11.whatever version for Mac OS 10.6 or higher and reloged in and still no luck. So I tried restarting computer.... tried logging into citrix via safarie, firefox, and chrome. NO LUCK. Then it somehow dawned on me that perhaps since I'm logging into citrix/explorer, maybe I need Adobe Flash for Windows??? So I tried to do that and my computer wasn't having that and stated it encountered errors.
So am I just chasing a lost cause???
PLEASE HELP

So you do a remote login to a Windows server?
Not quite sure what you are doing with Windows Explorer; do you mean Windows Internet Explorer?
If so, you need to install Flash Player for Internet Explorer on that Windows server. What version is currently installed there? See http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

How can you view dvds through airplay?

I just unsuccessfuly tried to play 3 dvds using Airplay via Apple TV. They displayed perfectly and behaved normally using the CD Player on my MacBookPro but would not display when I connected via Airplay to my TV. Why is this? Can I fix it?

This will likely not work due to the DRM locking of the DVD content. The same issue exists with some 3rd party streaming services like Ultraviolet, they will not allow streaming ver AirPlay.

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

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.

How do I use my iphone to stream videos,games, and music via airplay in itunes?

Hi.
I was looking for an option to use airplay from my iphone to itunes(not apple tv) After searching for a while, i understood that I cannot do that unless I have a apple tv. But when I bought my 5s when it released, I remember playing my videos from my phone to itunes via airplay. But i forgot how I did that. Can anyone please tell me how to do that? Or if any of the recent updates took those features off, is there anyother way I can do that?
Thank you

Normally backups are incremental, and you can only restore the latest. EXCEPT that a backup of an earlier version is archived, and the first backup of the new version is thus complete. You should be able to restore a 6.1.4 backup to iOS 7. Click the Restore Backup button. The dialog that comes up should have a dropdown where you can select a backup to restore. If the old one does not show up it cannot be restored.
However, since you appear to have a Mac, if you use Time Machine you can restore an earlier backup over the current one from your Time Machine history.
You can also back up to iCloud, even if you don't sync to it. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
One well hidden feature (for future use) is archiving backups. If you go to iTunes Preferences/Devices, right click on the current backup and choose "Archive". The next backup you make will be a competely new one, and the old one will be preserved and can be restored at any time.

A black airplay info window floats around on my HDTV screen when sending audio content via airplay up to sound system w Apple TV. How can I get rid of this?

A black airplay info window floats around on my HDTV screen when sending audio content via airplay up to sound system w Apple TV. How can I get rid of this?

Had this happen to me after a recent update, was super annoying. To turn off, go to Settings > AirPlay > Conference Room Display > Off.

I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay. The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay. The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive. I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
VLC Player may work.

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).

IPad Keynote presentation via airplay - how do you zoom in

When playing a Keynote presentation on ipad to a monitor via airplay, how do you zoom into a slide? The "expand/pinch" 2-finger method just ends the presentation.

My guess is that the presenters were using the "Action" function in the build option inside inspector, there are options called "actions" where you can rescale an image larger or smaller.
There is also a slide transition called "magic move" which would allow the same image on two slides to alter as an action build (such as scaling) while transitioning from one slide to the next.
