HT201335 can I mirror my mac to the apple tv?

I was told by the apple people that I could mirror my mac to my tv via the apple tv that I just bought.  Is this true and if so, can you tell me how to?  Thanks.

Only if you have one of the following Macs:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
AND you need to purchase and install Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.
Wow...that's upsetting ;-(  My late 2009 iMac is great.  Starting to wonder why I updated to Mountain Lion...

  • HT201343 Can I mirror my Mac although it's an old version?

    We can only mirror our Mac with through AirPlay onto Apple TV if the Macbook Pro is a 2011 version or earlier. My macBook Pro is a mid-2009.
    Has anyone found a way to get around this limitation? I don't want to have to buy a new Mac! Thank you.

    Thank you for the quick response. One more question: I'm trying it out but when I try playing a movie, the audio works but the movie image comes out in squares. Is that because I'm trying it for free and will only see the image if I purchase the app? I want to make sure it works properly before I buy the app.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

  • HT5517 Can my Apple TV 3 play music through an AirPlay speaker while I mirror my iPhone to the Apple TV?

    Can my Apple TV 3 play music through an AirPlay speaker while I mirror my iPhone to the Apple TV?

    bluetooth only support bluetooth keyboards on the appletv
    Wireless
    Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
    Bluetooth support for Apple Wireless Keyboard (requires Apple TV software version 5.2 or later)
    http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs/
    if you can find a device which take in optical audio from the Apple TV and make it bluetooth to the bluetooth speaker then suppose it would work
    but since it would need to be configured it would need controls or a webserver like a router has so very expensive

  • HT5409 I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get.

    I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get. anybody?

    I also had issues opening AVCHD files on case-sensitive filesystems.
    You can try these steps to solve the issue:
    Right click on the AVCHD file and select 'Show Package Contents'
    Right click on the BDMV file and select 'Show Package Contents'
    Rename index.bdm to INDEX.BDM (it seems that all files in the BDMV folder should be in UPPERCASE for Quicktime to open the AVCHD file).
    Go back twice and try again to double-click on the AVCHD file (Quicktime should open a window showing the multiple clips, as expected).

  • I need a link to buy online battery for Mac Book Pro 15" late 2008. Can't find this battery in the Apple Store...

    I need a link to buy online battery for Mac Book Pro 15" late 2008. Can't find this battery in the Apple Store...Battery: Model No. A1281 10.8 V 50 Wh.

    The only place that you can get an Apple battery is from Apple.  All of the counterfeiter's will claim that they have an OEM battery for the simple reason so that they can fool you in purchasing from them.
    At least from OWC you know exactly what you will be purchasing and they have a one year warranty.  I have purchased two from them, one for my 2006 MBP and one for my 2010 MBP.
    Ciao.

  • Apple TV 1st generation- can't seem to transfer rented Itune movies from my Mac to the Apple TV

    Apple TV 1st generation- can't seem to transfer rented Itune movies from my Mac to the Apple TV

    You need to establish if it was 1080p or 720p HD you downloaded.
    If it's 1080p it will not play at all on AppleTV1 - the hardware is not powerful enough to decode 1080p h264 (or 720p above 25fps).  When AppleTv1 came out most items were SD only and with time more 720p HD stuff became available.  1080p content cm after AppleTV 1 and 2 were replaced by AppleTV 3.
    AppleTV2 can process but not display 1080p - it is stuck to 720p output.
    AppleTV1 could only process 720p max, but could always upscale on output to 1080p!
    Your iTunes Preference should determine what quality you are downloading/renting.

  • When I go to buy my Mac at the Apple Store, can they program Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it while I am there?

    When I go to buy my Mac at the Apple Store, can they program Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it while I am there?

    The online Apple store may offer to pre-load a version of CS6 for you, for the cost of the software package plus a few days set-up delay in shipping your Mac to you.
    The bricks and mortar stores do not sell software. It gets stale too fast.

  • How can I tell if my mac has the Apple "quite kit"?

    Hi, how can I tell if my dual processor 1.42 ghz fw800 mac has the Apple "quite kit"? I've had it with the loud noise now. I can hear the fans from other rooms.
    If my mac does have the kit, I'll definitely look into upgrading the fans. Which fan brand is the best for this model mac?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi, and welcome to the Discussions!
    Check the PSU. It should be a 360 watt model and not a 400 watt model. Also, the fans should be manufactured by Papst, not Sensflow. Here's a good link with info on this subject.
    I am under the impression that the FW800 Macs all shipped with the quiet kits installed and that the mods were meant for the MDD Macs, though I could be wrong...

  • How do get airplay from my mac to the Apple TV

    Where can i find airplay on my Mac

    Howdy MiaDad,
    It sounds like you would like to use the Airplay feature from your mac to the Apple TV. I found this article for you to help you get that setup named:
    iTunes: Using AirPlay
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5922
    Enabling AirPlay from iTunes on your computer
    To use AirPlay Mirroring, you will need the following:
    iTunes 10.2 or later
    Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)
    AirPort Express
    Wi-Fi (802.11a/g/n) network
    To stream music or videos from your computer to an Apple TV or AirPort Express:
    Connect your computer and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Open iTunes.
    Locate and click the icon to the left of the iTunes LCD window.
    Select your Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers from the list of available devices that appears and begin playback.
    Note: The images of a TV screen or speaker next to each AirPlay device in the AirPlay menu indicate the type of media content you can stream to that device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices.  If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

    Can I get rid of one  ID?  How do I do that?

    one on my MacBook Pro
    That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
    If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
    Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

  • I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

    I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

    unfortunately - you can not.  you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
    does it have to be outlook?  maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
    how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
    or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
    good luck
