HT201335 Can you Airplay Mirror from iMac to Apple TV?

I want to play a DVD on my iMac and airplay mirror to my Apple TV. Is this possible?

If you have a newer Mac yes, I don't remember the cutoff date but I think it's mid 2011.
If yours is older than that there's a program called Airparrot you can download that will let older Macs do Airplay. For me it worked great and it's only $10. It has a 20 minute trial so you can make sure it works before you buy it.

  • HT201335 Can you Airplay mirror via your laptop?

    I figured out how to mirror via my iPhone, but cannot figure out (if at all possible) how to mirror my laptop.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • Can you airplay video from iPhone to Apple TV but listen to the audio through iPhone headphones?

    I know this is a very specific use, but my wife sleeps during the day while I'm at home. To keep the house quiet, is it possible to airplay a video on my iphone to the Apple TV, but listen to the audio through my headphones plugged into the iPhone?

    No, you would need to connect the headphones to the audtio out on the TV or strero being used.

    Can you buy music from itunes in apple tv 3rd generation?

    We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if/when Apple might open an iTunes store in Uruguay until Apple announce something - presumably not enough record companies/rights-holders have yet granted Apple licenses for their music for Uruguay.

  • AirPlay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV intermittent sound drop-off

    I can't stream iTunes or Spotify to my Apple TV without getting intermittent sound drop-out (say every 30 seconds) when I use AirPlay mirroring through my Mac. This odd thing is streaming through my iPad or IPhone to Apple TV is perfectly fine; so is using my Mac to stream to my Sonos speakers. I can even stream iTunes pefectly fine through only the Apple TV alone - so it's nothing to do with my broadband connection
    I have today performed upgrades to the Apple TV and my Airport Express firmware but the problem persists. Anyone else experiencing this or found a solution?

    Hi, same here for me. Using AirPlay for streaming music from my Mac Mini (iTunes latest version) to my ATV2 (software latest version) has intermittent drop-outs (about every 10 to 15 sec for 5 to 10 sec). At the same time streaming to my Airport Express station in the kitchen works fine. Using the VOX player streaming from the Mac to the ATV works fine, only that I can only stream to one destination. Tried streaming from iTunes to ATV only, the problem remains. Streaming video - even HD - works fine. Using the ATV to select music from my Mac's iTunes library works fine, too. Still I want to stream from my iTunes on the Mac to several destiations including the ATV. Seems to me to be a problem of iTunes. I think the effect appeared after an update of iTunes or OSX, because it had worked fine before, already.

  • AirPlay Mirroring from ML to Apple TV has 3 minute lag

    I have an iMac (Late 2011) running 10.8.2 and an Apple TV (3rd gen) running 5.1. When I turn on AirPlay Mirroring, it eventually starts, and when it does it has a tremendous lag that refreshes every 3 minutes or so. I have the settings optimized for the TV. Apple TV works fine when mirroring iPad (3rd gen) and iPhone 4S. I would love to sit on my couch and use my computer, but this is making it impossible.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Philip.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • HT201335 can you control video from computer when you airplay

    I just added Appletv and connected my Computer and TV. I now see my TV but how do you control your computer from your tv or maybe you don't the remote does not do anything pertaining to the computer i see on the TV

    You control the computer the same as you would normally. The image is simply being mirrored to the Apple TV, you cannot control it from there using airplay.
    If that is what you are looking for then you need to search for a VNC client.

  • HT201335 Can I AirPlay Mirroring with my iphone 3gs?

  • How can you remove mirroring from the digital images of old photographs?

    I have inherited several hundred old photographs and many of them display "silver mirroring" in the black regions which creates a bluish cast on the scanned image.  Is there a simple way to reduce this problem during the scanning process or is there a way within Photoshop to repair it?  With many such photographs, I shutter to consider the time required to repair them one-by-one in Photoshop.

    When scanning, try setting the black threshold up a bit.  This might loose some detail in the dark regions, but it will also make the slightly lighter images in the dark regions disappear.  It depends on how light the images are and how much dark-region detail you are willing to sacrifice.
    Yes the Photoshop forums should also help you.
    Good luck,
    Jay

  • No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV

    Hi Community,
    it happens that after disconnecting the aiplay mirroring the next streaming into the apple tv doesn't play the audio. it stays instead in the speakers of the Mac.
    i tried to change the output on audio preferences but i can't click on it! the selection just bounce back to internal speakers.
    the only way to fix this is to restart.

    This works: clicking "Restart". Thx! Please note, Apple bug fixers....

  • No Audio in AirPlay mirroring from my mac (OS-ML) to Apple TV

    I get a picture but no audio.
    I saw this discussion:
    No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV
    BUT in my case I can't change the sound settings to AirPlay.
    When I click it with the cursor, it tosses me back to Internal Speakers, and won't let me select AirPlay.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm in the same boat.
    Found an instruction elsewhere to flip audio to AppleTV BEFORE switching to Airplay Mirroring.  Should not be necessary (several extra clicks where one should suffice), but if that's what I have to do, OK...
    But as these users are reporting... it doesn't work.  I click on the AppleTV option and it keeps reverting to Internal Speakers.  I'm not able to actuall select the AppleTV for audio output.
    So, ***?

    Can you transfer images from the Panasonic dmc sz-20 camera to an IMac with os 10.7.4? Thanks.

    This article tells you which RAW formats are supported in Lion.  Even if you don't find your camera on there, if the camera has a media card, you should be able to read TIFF, JPEG, and PNG images at minimum through a media card reader that is Mac comaptible.    Most cameras these days support either SD or Compact Flash.   SD only slots are available on the most recent iMacs, Mac Minis, and MacBook Pros as a built-in slot.  For all other Macs and media cards many Firewire and USB card readers are avaiable that are Mac compatible, and multifunction printers will allow you to read most card formats.  Check your camera's owners manual what cards are accepted.
