HT4437 mirroring the computer on apple tv

Is there a way to mirror what is on my MacBook Pro onto the tv using Apple TV?

Have you put it in sleep mode? Is there anything displayed on the screen?
In reality the device doesn't go off, unless it is unplugged, and uses very little power. If it has been put to sleep and the light comes on it may be picking up network activity.

How are you trying to install Lion 10.7.3? Where did you get that version as the current download version is 10.7.4.
Why are you installing 10.7.3? What OS X version was on the computer before you started this install?

restart appletv (you can just pull the plug)
restart the wifi router (you can just pull the plug unless the router documentation say otherwise)
if it does not help then make sure that your wifi router is not using the same ssid (default is often netgear or linksys or whatever the brand is) as other close by wifi networks as that could result in 1 or more of your devices connecting to another network then you think they are using
and if your wifi channel is the default if many close by wifi networks use the same channel it will cause disturbance
and if your wifi network is running 2.4Ghz then it's a rather busy frequency dect phones, microwave ovens and tons of other things use the same frequency so if one have the option of changing to 5Ghz it's less busy == give less disturbances

HT204291 Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and AppleTV while using Airplay Mirroring for the TV?

Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and Apple TV while simultaneously using Airplay Mirroring to view the computer screen on the TV? Whenever I try, by clicking on 'computer' radial button for volume in iTunes Airplay, the TV automatically reverts to the Apple TV screen. I usually end up using preferences to 'bring back' the audio to the computert while leaving the picture on the tv, but this means i have to suffer from the inferior sound quality of my Macbook internal speakers.

Trying to play playlist on Apple TV. It worked at one time, but not now. Home sharing is on, on the computer; but apple TV keeps asking me to turn home sharing on.
What gives?

Hello hobartco,
Home sharing will, indeed, need to be set up on your Apple TV, as well.

Do I still need 3 versions of each movie 1) Computer 2) Apple TV 3) iPod?

Not sure the best format to import movies into iTunes (not from the store) but do I still need to have a version for
1) The computer
2) Apple TV
3) iPod
and is there a way to sort or filter these 3 types in iTunes or Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netflix uses an adaptive format, i.e. it varies it's quality according to connection speed and can go as low as 0.5 Mbps, although it won't look too good.
You have two options:
You can download to iTunes on your computer, it likely won't download any quicker, but it will stay there and so don't need to worry about stopping the movie in the middle (movies downloaded to the computer will need to be fully downloaded before they will stream to the Apple TV).
You could also switch to SD (settings > general > iTunes Store), your movies will download more quickly if you do this.

Fan constantly runs when the computer is in use, as soon as I turn it on, the fan starts up, help?

Does anyone know what might cause the fan on my mac to run constantly? As soon as I turn it on and the unit is clearly not warm yet, the fan is going.

If your iMac has an Intel processor, reset the SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Apple says that should fix a fan that runs regardless of systems load. If that doesn't fix it, please post back.

You have to take the computer to Apple store and get an estimate.

HT4437 My Apple Tv will only mirror the sound from a movie I mirrored from my computer, but not the picture.How do I fix that?

My Apple Tv will only the mirror the sound from a movie I mirrored from my Macbook Pro. How do I get the picture?

Do you have a valid credit card associated with the account? If so then I would contact iTunes

Can I mirror my computer monitor on the Apple TV ?

How can I mirror my computer monitor on the Apple TV ?

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). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

HT204291 if i have a mid 2009 mac book pro and an apple tv that is the latest one. i can not mirror the mac book on my tv. is it the fact that my computer is a little older than 2011 models which will work. any info is greatly appreciated

Yes. You need 2011 or later in order to mirror as it requires the newer processor. The alternative is airparrot, which does it via software.

HT201343 I have all the requirements on my computer for mirroring my computer to the apple tv but I don't have that option. why?

I just bought my macbook pro last March 2012 and I have all the computer requirements for the ability to mirror my computer to my apple tv however I do not have the option on my computer. Why?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Open  > About this Mac, and tell me what OS X version you have. You need OS X 10.8 to be able to use AirPlay Mirroring.
If you haven't got Mountain Lion, open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While its installer is being downloaded, make a backup of your data and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
When its download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will show up, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay menu on the menu bar.
If you don't want to upgrade, you can use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com

I have home sharing turned on both my itunes on my computer and apple tv, but the icon to use apple on my computer will not work.

I have turned home share on both my apple tv and itunes but i still can't get the apple tv icon to appear on my computer.

Hello chandlos23,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found some information that might help with transferring information between your computer and Apple TV. I found an article about Home Sharing that talks about what Home Sharing does and how to set it up:
You can use Home Sharing in iTunes 10.5 or later and on Apple TV to share the iTunes library and photos of any computer on your home network.
You can find the full article here:
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4352
If you are trying to setup Airplay from your computer, I also found some articles on how to set that up. AirPlay Mirroring lets you send what’s on your Mac screen to an HDTV wirelessly with Apple TV. If you are running Mountain Lion on a Mac compatible with Airplay Mirroring, you can share your whole screen using these steps:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If you are not running Mountain Lion, you can still use Airplay with iTunes and iOS devices following the steps in this article:

I hope this helps!

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be for FREE!
Ciao.
