I can't see my mac on the TV's home network search

Hi there can anyone help me to find my Mac on the TV. My TV is a new Sony and is conected wireless to my home network, it finds my PC after I had set up the media funktion in the sharing area. But it does not find my mac, is there also something to enable? in the sharing folder is everything checked....thanks a lot

Happy to help out! thanks.
I dont know if OS X have a Multimedia protocol that allows your tv to connect, if your tv can do XBMC then you can check this out: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=How-to:Install_XBMC_for_Mac
This is a third party software that Apple have no support on.
Give it a try maby this is what youre looking for.

  • Can not see my Airport in the list of Wifi networks and is blinking organge all the time

    Can not see my airport on the list of WiFi networks and is blinking orange all the time. Tried to reset several times.

    Do you have a Mac or idevice for setting up the Express? It does require a later utility than is available for windows.
    You might be able to setup with the v5 utility in windows but there is no guarantee.
    You should use a simple name both for the base and the wireless. eg AEXgen2 base name and AEXwifi for wireless name.. that is if you get access.

    Hi, I did manage to ping each computer (the mac from the pc and viceversa), also I did manage to "see" the mac from the pc windows network application; but I still have two issues:
    1) I still can't "see" the PC from my Mac, under share of finder....
    2) How can I do to access the mac from the pc? It keeps asking me for a user and password, should I use my user and password that I use in my mac? How can I add the pc user into my mac setting if I can't "see" the pc?
    Thank you for your help

  • How can i see my mac in the tv ???

    I bougth the cable in the macstore to conect my macbookpro to the tv (LED).
    but i only see the empty screen backround of my mac.
    it's like the the backround screem with zoom i think.
    some body can help me ???
    i add a picture to can see more clearly.
    Thanks 

    You have an extended desktop, which means that what you see on the TV is a continuation of the screen on your MacBook, i.e. if you move your mouse off the end of your MacBooks screen it will appear on the TV screen.  Furthermore, if you resize a window beyond the edge of the MacBook's screen it will start to appear on the TV screen.
    The MacBook screen is currently set to be the primary screen.  To make the TV the primary screen go into System Preferences -> Displays.  You will see an image of two screens.  Drag the little bar at the top of the smaller screen to the top of the larger screen.
    You can set it so that you see the same image on both screens if you click mirroring on.  However, the external display will be at the same resolution as the internal display and you won't be making full use of the maximum resolution available on the TV.

  • New Mac OS Server on network, Windows box can't see other Macs anymore

    I just put a Mac mini server on my network and the only services I have enabled are SMB, AFP and Open Directory. Before I put the server on the network (and if I turn the server off) the Windows 7 Pro machine I have on the network used to be able to see the rest of the Macs on the network in the Network section... I could see them, log on to one, grab files, etc. This also went for the Macs seeing the PC on the network in the Finder. Now that I have the server on the network though, I can't see the PC on my Macs and can't see my Macs on the PC. I can, however, do a "Map network drive" on the PC and enter an address to one of the Macs and connect that way. Anyone know why this could be happening?
    Like I said, if I turn the server off or disconnect it from the network, the Macs will see the PC and the PC will see the Macs, but once its back on the network, they stop seeing each other, so its definitely something the server is doing that's causing it.
    TIA

    Confirm you have unique addresses and unique host names for the IP host names on your network. In absolute specifics, make absolutely certain your Mac OS X Server box is not configured at a conflicting address, or with a host name that conflicts with the Windows 7 box or with some other central and critical network resource such as your firewall or an IP router.
    It's also possible you've got (for instance) a bad cable or a bad NIC and that's jamming up your network, though that's less likely.
    Your Mac OS X Server box requires DNS be configured locally, or within your network.
    Confirm unique host names. Confirm unique IP addresses. You can launch Terminal.app and use the dig command at the bash shell (+dig -x 192.168.1.1+ with whatever the local address, and +ping 192.168.1.1+ again with the local address and not with the 192.168.1.1 value shown, and +dig hostname.example.com+ or such for your domain name) or (if you're not comfortable in bash -- do go learn bash, regardless) then you can use the Network Utility in the Applications > Utilities folder.
    It's also possible there's a problem with the managed switch configuration or such, but that probably isn't in use here.

  • Can't see other Macs/PCs on the network...

    Since installing the Safari 6/Apple Remote Desktop Update I can't see other Macs/PCs on the network. If I restart I can see 2 Macs, but after a while they disappear, and I can see/connect to nothing...

    If you are using DHCP check that it is getting the correct addressing. In the event that it is but still not working then test by giving it a fixed IP and see if it then works.

  • ICal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?

    iCal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?
    I have several entries (too many) on calendars created prior to iCloud. They are listed as calendars 'On My Mac'. How can I get this information to my phone? I understand that iCloud makes On My Mac calendars obsolete?
    I use my phone calendar to see my duties for the day, and only add entries if I'm out and on the fly. These I don't mind typing into the iCloud calendars. But my regular process when I'm sitting in front of the computer is to add them via iCal using the On My Mac calendars created years ago, over time. I need to see this information while on the go. How can I?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
    If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
    Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
    To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
    Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
    Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.

  • Can you see a image in the Get Info Window?

    After upgrading to Mt LIon and while using CS6, I can't see image previews in the Get Info window.  Can't see images in the upper left corner of the get info window, so I can't make a selection and then do a copy- paste like I could do before I upgraded to Mt Lion with CS6.  I want to be able to paste a image of the subjects in my folders..  IE folder of Panda Bears would have a image of a Panda showing on that folder.  Folder of The Great Wall would have a image of the Great Wall on the Folder of Great Wall pictures.  This has always worked for the past many years I have used a Mac and Photoshop.  I started with Photoshop 2.  All my photo folders are represented by images so I have a good idea of what is contained in each folder.  Now after 2 weeks in China, 20 folders are represented by 10-11-12, 10-12-12, 10-13-12, 10-14-12 and so on.  Shows me nothing but dates.  I have tried saving as Jpeg, Tiff, and PAD, and still can't  do a copy-paste in the Get Info window.   Apple says it is a Adobe problem, Yesterday Adobe told me it is because I am uusing a Nikon D800 and Adobe does not have a  patcdh for the NEW Nikon camera.  I then tried using my Nikon D2Xs, Nikon D3X, Nikon 800 and even my wife's D50 and none of these camera allow me to copy paste the thumbnail image to the clipoboard like I have been able to do for YEARS...   I can see images in a folder in Bridge, but the images dont show in my desktop folders.IE, a folder on my desktop with 200 pictures only show with words/ numbers/letters NO IMAGES appear in the folders on the desktop.  On some folders the folders in a folder don't show up as Folders either.
    Can Any one help me.  Same thing happens on my MACPRO w 16 GB Ram and on my 17" MacBook Pro.

    Thanks for your input.  Problem might be with the EASTER BUNNY..... have to have someone to blame.
    I can't blame you for saying that.
    Adobe is the clear owner of the responsibility to make functional their product that they claim is compatible with your operating system.  Adobe is the one who sold you the product.
    I just went looking for what Adobe has said about Mountain Lion compatibility, and they both list Mountain Lion as compatible and include such language as that on this page (emphasis mine):
    Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Suite® 5, 5.5 and CS6 editions and individual products for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8). Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop® (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues.
    I suggest that Adobe needs to get on the ball and get this fixed.  The time for user patience is over.
    If someone from Adobe is saying "Adobe can't fix it" then that someone is at the wrong authority level and/or is thinking on the wrong level.
    This is business and the business is making products that have value and are sold to people who perceive that value.  Adobe doesn't get to keep selling products that don't work while standing on principles that "it's someone else's problem".   Customers don't care why it doesn't work. 
    It's obvious to a child that if Photoshop CS5 can write the proper things to the Apple OS so that the thumbnails are visible, that there's something Adobe could do to fix it.
    But EVEN IF this were something only Apple could fix, that Apple hasn't fixed it yet says pretty loudly that Adobe isn't making the right overtures to Apple for their mutual benefit.  Adobe, are your executives so greedy that they can't grease a few palms of their friends over at Apple to put some priority on this?  What's the problem here?  Has Adobe actually forgotten how to do business?
    -Noel
    P.S., You should know that I don't use a Mac and am personally having no issues with seeing proper thumbnails and previews on my Windows 7 and 8 systems, since the software that does that isn't from Adobe.

  • How can I see one mac from another mac?

    I have two macs, an imac at home and a MBPro.

    Do you have a home network?
    Personal File Sharing: You can connect Macs on a local network with Tiger’s Personal File Sharing, which allows you to mount folders from the sharing Mac on the master Mac—note that the slave Macs do the sharing; the master Mac doesn’t have to. To turn on Personal File Sharing on the slave Mac, do this:
    Open System Preferences.
    In the System Preferences window, click Sharing.
    In the Sharing pane, click Services.
    In the Select a Service to Change Its Settings list, select the Personal File Sharing checkbox.
    Now that the slave Mac has sharing turned on, you can mount it on the master Mac’s Desktop:
    In the Finder, choose Go -> Network.
    In the Network window, select the sharing Mac.
    Click Connect.
    In the Connect to Server window, click Registered User, enter the user account name and password for the sharing Mac, and then click Connect.
    In the window that appears, select the volume that contains the folder you want to sync with, and then click OK.

  • How can I see my Mac in another Mac?

    How can I see my Mac in another Mac?
    I mean, I have a Mac in the office and a Mac at home. Is it possible not to carry mine, just to connect it to the office's one? Thank you very much

    "Sharing" the way Mac OS X uses it means giving permission for others to use something. Once Sharing something is enabled, you just use the thing that has been Shared.
    To access your Mac at work from the Internet would require changing the configuartion of the Router at work to allow port-forwarding.

  • How can I see another mac backup on time machine?

    how can I see another mac backup on time machine?

    Bob thanks, but that didn't solve my problem, I went to question 17 and went into the Browse my Time Machine and it also didn't find or recognize the other Mac.  I know it's in there because when I open the other Mac and Enter the Time Machine, I can see it through that Mac, and I have the same problem there, where I can't see my Mac.
    In short, when I back up a Mac (doesn't matter which one) I can verify its backup as long as I use that Mac, but I cannont verfiy the backup on that Mac using another Mac and vice versa.
    Also, I never used to have to do anything to see both on the same Mac.  So I don't know what changed. 
    There must be another way.
    Thanks

  • I can't see my Mac shares from Windows

    I've read threads here saying people can't access windows shares from their mac using Leopard. Well, I'm having this problem too...AND I'm also have this problem the other way. From my XP machine, I CANNOT access or even see my Mac shares like I used to in Tiger. I've tried messing with all the settings on the Mac side, and nothing works! ARGH! So frustrated!
    Before, I could access my mac shares from my XP machine by typing in my username and password, that's what I'm trying to do, but no matter what I do, I can't get my XP machine to see my mac shares over the network. Can someone help me out please? I'm almost to a point where I'm desperate!

    Okay, I give up. I can see my XP PC in Finder sans firewall, with all of my Mac exposed, and cannot see my Mac from the XP PC at all, no matter what I do. I've spent hours on this today and after reading and trying everything, I realize there's no way to do it. There's no safe way too look into my PC, and no possible way too look into my Mac. I can't believe Apple made me believe that I could do a simple thing like network my PC and my Mac.
    I'm so utterly disappointed--you want something to "just work", and there are 500 options and settings and nothing works. I want to love Apple so much, but after spending all night trying, I realize it just doesn't work. Too bad, I really wanted to use this Mac at work.
