HT201343 I cant beleive that my MacBook cant connect to my apple tv!!!! Unbeleivable really!!!

I was looking forward to connecting my MacBook to my AppleTV to watch shows on a bigger screen and... I just checked and it says that I can't connect it with this computer! You should really get that fixed.      

MacBooks are able to connect to ATV.  Hyberbolic over reactions rather than actually thinking are not going to get you very far.  So if you would like to calm down and start acting like a reasonable adult maybe you would care to share some relevant details?   Like have you connected them to the same network?  Did you enable homesharing?  What feature where you using when you got the error?  Did you setup and activate the ATV? 
Did you do anything of the things needed to setup your ATV, or did you just plug it in and as soon as you got an error freaking and post this?

    I cant connect to my apple id from my ipad and i can use my apple id from my cellphone

    Folks with the failure to verify issue have been having to reestablish their network services. There are differing approaches to this as you can see in this thread. Different things have worked for different folks, but installing the 10.6.8 update combo is not one of them.

  • How to get my macbook to connect to the Apple TV?

    How to get my macbook to connect to the Apple TV in a strange apartment? I am housesitting for someone for a few months. They mentioned that i would be able to use their Apple TV to play stuff from my macbook. I am using their basic wifi in the apt, which works fine on my macbook and iphone, but see no Apple TV icon appearing on macbook screen, nor any connection happening. (nor is there anything connection w my iPhone). What gives? How can I establish a connection?

  • How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections.    The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

    How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections?  The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

    The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it.  Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.)  It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
    You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad.  If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350.  Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

  • My Linksys WRT54GS says that I am not connected to the internet, but I really am. Why?

    My Linksys WRT54GS says that I am not connected to the internet, but I really am.
    The Linksys EasyLink Advisor is telling me that there is a problem and the internet connection is not working.
    However, my computer and every other computer and laptop connected to this router can get on the internet perfectly fine without any problems.
    Why is it saying my connection is not working when it really is? How did I get rid of this message?

    Probably you need to uninstall the software to eliminate that problem.

  • Cant connect itunes tu apple tv

    I cant connect apple tv with Itunes, dosent appear in the device list

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm a little confused as to what the problem is, are you saying your MacBook doesn't work with the Apple TV, but the MacBook Pro does.
    Have you tried pairing the library on the MacBook or are you just expecting the MacBook to see the Apple TV because the MacBook Pro does.

  • I cant connect to the apple website, itunes or the app store?

    Hi there I had this issue on my macs and found a fix by changing the DNS server (Im not a techie so followed some online advice).  I now have what appears to be the same problem on my ipad.  All other websites work fine.  Just anything to do with apple wont open, including itunes and app store.  Ive reset the network settings but still no joy.  Any ideas?  Software is up to date and website, itunes etc work fine on my Macs on the same wifi....
    Any help much appreciated.

    How are you creating your wi-fi network? Are you sharing a connection from a Mac over the AirPort card? Or are you connecting to a router?
    Ideally your router is configured to supply DNS service. But with your Mac you can override that in your network settings. You can also override that in the iPad Wi-Fi settings. But based on how you are creating your network would dictate the best approach. If you are sharing the Mac's connection over AirPort, then the iPad is using whatever DNS service that the Mac is using. If your network is coming from a router, then the iPad's service is whatever the router is providing. You can try overriding the router by going to Settings/Wi-Fi and tapping the arrow to the right of your network. Then tap DNS and enter the DNS service's address you wish to use.

  • My iPhone 6 won't cant connect to the Apple Store help

    My iPhone 6 comes up with the message can not connect to the Apple Store? help what do I do to fix this?

    Start with a restart of the phone.
    If a restart dosen't help, try to reset the settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    If the reset of the settings doesn't help, then do a full reset of the device (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Content & Settings) IMPORTANT: MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA FIRST

  • I keep getting a message that my ipad2 cannot connect to the apple store.

    I get onto the apple Store site and can see everything, but when I try to get a new app or update an existing app, I can't get a download, and get an error message instead. Anybody know why?

    Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • My sister's macbook cant connect to wifi. It said that "no airport card installed". What should we do?

      My sister's macbook cant connect to wifi. It said that "no airport card installed". What should we do?
    Help us to solve this problem.

    Depends on whether or not the machine is under warranty or not. If it is, just take it to an applestore and let them worry about it. If not, your airport card may have failed and may need to be replaced. It could also be that the card needs to be reseated, which is what I would check first. Look for a guide at ifixit.com.
