If it is early 2011 or newer running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion then  you can mirror.
A third party app called airparrot can help other models.

  • IPhone 4 will not connect to macbook air via bluetooth. Message " not supported"

    iPhone 4 will not connect to macbook air via bluetooth

    Try the suggestions here >  iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    If nothing helped, repair permissions.
    Disconnect the iPhone.
    On your Mac open Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Then select: Repair Disk Permissions
    This process can take a few minutes.
    When it's done, restart your Mac and connect the iPhone.
    If that doesn't help, reset the PRAM >  About NVRAM and PRAM

  • HT4783 I can`t connect my MacBook Air to my iPad Air or iPhone 5 through AirDrop

    I can`t connect my MacBook Air to my iPad Air or iPhone 5 through AirDrop.
    Connection between iPad and iPhone is OK, but  MacBook doesn`t show any of my devices in the vicinity with wiFi is connected.

    iOS devices can connect to iOS devices, and OS X devices can connect to OS X devices, but iOS devices cannot connect to OS X devices through AirDrop at this time.

  • I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

  • Can I connect my MacBook Air wirelessly to my Panasonic Viera HDTV

    I would like to connect my MacBook Air to my Panasonic Viera HDTV wirelessly, so that we can view family photos, videos etc on the large flat screen. Is it possible and, if so, how do I go about it?

    I believe you would need an Apple TV:
    https://www.apple.com/appletv/
    FWIW, you are not running iOS (any version) on a Mac computer, it would be Mac OS 10.x.x (which is helpful for anyone trying to help you).

  • Time capsule wireless router can not connect both Macbook and iPad

    Currently my new time capsule can only connect my macbook pro wirelessly or by ethernet. My iPad or PC can not been connected to it. I guess the setting for the router is something wrong, but I do not know how to fix it. The settings indicate that there is no DNS address, and the router is off (bridged). I tried to change the router setting, but does not succeed. Sincerely ask for help.

    The settings indicate that there is no DNS address, and the router is off (bridged). I tried to change the router setting, but does not succeed. Sincerely ask for help.
    Sorry but I need you to clarify.. router is off.. what router are you talking about??
    If the clients do not have DNS, have you tried just supplying the standard google dns ie... 8.8.8.8 (very lucky number for Chinese) or 8.8.4.4
    http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
    You can usually set dns manually whilst still using DHCP for IP address.
    But better to start again.. reset the TC..
    Give it a simple name .. no spaces.. all alphanumeric.. the default name is NOT windows networking valid.
    eg I name my TC.. TC1
    Wireless name.. same rules.. I use TC24 and TC5 (I use separate names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz as I do not want computers auto swapping bands) I also set channels manually.. again because I do not want them auto swapping channels.
    Wireless passwords.. same rules.. you need to make it a bit longer of course.. but pure alphanumeric no spaces.
    In the disk area, assuming you want disk access.. then put in the WORKGROUP name.. usually WORKGROUP.. in caps btw.
    If you do all that it will usually also work with iPad.

  • Can not connect to Itunes Store through Apple TV.

    I am trying to rent a movie from Apple TV and keep getting a message saying that it can not connect to Itues Store.

    I don't have the parental controls turned on. I have tried to sync a video I purchased on itunes on my macbook and it will not transfer and comes up with an error that the apple tv cannot connect to the itunes store to authorise.
    I'm connected to the internet through a web proxy, however, itunes works normally through this on my macbook and I can download without problems, so I can't understand why the apple tv won't connect to the itunes store.

  • How can I connect My MacBook Pro to Apple TV?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Apple TV but without success. Any ideas?

    How old is your MBP (year and season)?
     > About This Mac > More Info...
    Apple TV is supported on a early 2011 or newer MacBook Pros with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later.  If your MBP is older than that then you can use AirParot to connect to Apple TV.

  • How can i connect my macbook air with lion os to a windows 7 pc

    Hi I wondered if anyone could help me as i am new to apple pc's
    I have recently got a macbook air and i am trying to have file sharing with both pc's unfortunately whatever i try does no allow both pc's to see each other. If i try the connect to server method using smb then log in screen just shakes and wont accept a valid login offer. The windows pc also does not see the mac in the network which i guess does not help. On several forums there is a suggestion that this used to work on earlier versions of apple os
    Any help would be most appreciated Thankyou

    On the OS X side it's very simple, System Preferences - Sharing - checkmark File Sharing box and then choose the Users and Shared Folders. On the MS Windows side you will need to turn that on too, however I don't use Windows so I can't help. However I was able to find this simple 15 step (saracasm intended) page:

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen will not connect to Macbook Air

    Okay, so I've been trying to connect my iPod to my Macbook Air for a few days now to get some very important videos to transfer into iPhoto so I can get them sent to people that have been requesting them of me by their deadlines. I've also wanted to do some general charging of my device.
    Here's the problem; when I connect the USB cord (Original one that I received with my iPod from Apple) to the only USB port the Macbook Air has, it refuses to connect, charge and/or synch with my computer. Up until about three days ago, it would connect and charge just fine with the computer, but now it is not.
    When I plug the usb into my wall charger however, it recognizes and charges the device just fine.
    I've had both my Air and iPod inspected recently at the Genius Bar, and there is NOTHING wrong with either device, so that is NOT the cause of the issue.
    I want to know how to fix this, and whether or not buying a new cord would help, as I need the files on it to get to my computer ASAP. (Emailing the videos from the iPod is NOT an option as they're longer than one minute, and it will only let me email one minute clips.)

    I brought all three yeah.
    And the guy that assisted me hooked it to their computers and it worked fine, and then he hooked it to mine and wiggled it around for a couple seconds and it worked for him but now I can't get it to do anything at all.
    And as I said he checked the hardware and everything of both my Air and the iPod and said there was nothing wrong with it.
    I'll try buying a new cord when I get paid and see if that fixes anything.
