I want to stream HD content from my Mac to my PS3

I have a MacBook Pro 13 connected to 24" LED and a FW800 WD My Book Studio II (Contains my movies).
Short of buying a Mac Mini and an AirPort express, what is the best way to stream HD and SD videos from iTunes on one mac, to the PS3.
Using EyeConnect on the PS3, I can't even stream 1.5Mb/s PAL 576p 16:9 content encoded in H.264. The same content streams fine using the same router, on Front Row on a second mac.
However, HD content works with neither. The Mac will stream it and drop around 1/6th of the frames of a 1080/24p 5.5Mb/s H.264 movie.
So what software can I use on my Mac to stream to the PS3 SD content encoded as above, without the hideous lag I get at current?
Secondly, what hardware solutions would allow me to stream HD content over my network to the PS3 or Mac?
Thanks

iCloud is not the way to do this. You should use Migration Assistant - with this you can transfer your complete User folder from the old Mac including preferences and logins. You will need to connect the two with FireWire or USB depending on the models.
Ideally you should do this before you set up the new Mac - if you create a user account with the same name than the Migration will have to give the migrated user folder a different name. When you first switch on the new Mac it should ask you if you want to transfer your data, and give you instructions.

I've just bought a new mac and I want to transfer the content from my old Macbook to my new. If I have iCloud enabled on both devices, is this simple, or is there a limit to what I can transfer? For example, can I upload word files to iCloud?

I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iphone without losing what is already on my phone. Help!

I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iPhone without losing what is already on the phone. On the old iTunes I could drag and drop only the items I wanted on the phone. On this new version, all I can figure out to do is sync, which is going to remove the songs that are already on the phone. There has to be another way.

The film would have to be in itunes on your computer.
You would sync it like you do everything else.

Revised: can I stream internet content from a cell phone network to the apple tv?

So I am trying to stream internet content from my iphone (phone network) to the Apple TV. I currently do not have internet at my house. What I do have is a macbook pro, airport express, ipad (wifi only), and of course iphone and apple tv. So is there a way to configure these devices to somehow stream my phone content to my apple tv. As of now the only way to connect the iphone to the apple tv is through wifi; the bluetooth that apple tv supports is elementary and will not support this connection. When the iphone is on a wifi network it automatically tries to use it for internet content. So 1 option would have to be a work around for making the iphone use the cell phone network for pulling internet content and using the wifi to broadcast this content to the apple tv. Another option would be to connect the iphone with the macbook pro via bluetooth (somehow) and then mirror the macbook pro to the apple tv via the wifi network setup with the airport express. ANY IDEAS?

You wouldnt be able to to use both networks at the same time. Either need to connect the Apple TV to the cell network (which will require a lot of data and impact battery life) or get a home plan and broadcast over the local network (wifi)

Streaming HD content from Intel Core Solo Mac Mini to new Apple TV

Hello,
Here is my query:
I have an Intel Core Solo Mac Mini connected to my HDTV that I use to play iTunes/DVDs etc. It does this very well. However, the processor isn't fast enough to play HD content, and it drops frames and stutters.
If I bought a new Apple TV, would that stream the HD content from the Mac Mini with no problems (as it would be the Apple TV that does the processing)?
Also, would it be recommended (or indeed possible) to connect the Apple TV to the Mac Mini via ethernet, as the Mac Mini is not Airport 801n.
If the Apple TV can play the HD content without problems, then this would extend the life of my much loved Mac Mini and would mean I wouldn't have to update to a much newer one.
Thanks for reading

I want to move pictures from my mac to iCloud. Then I want to erase those pictures from my mac and leave them only in iCloud.. Can I do it?

I want to move pictures from my mac to iCloud.com, then I want to erase those pictures from my mac and leave them only in iCloud.. Can I do it?? It looks like it's not possible because if I erase the picture from my mac, then they'll be erased automatically in my iCloud account too!!

If you are using iCloud Photo Library and delete them from any device they will be deleted from iCloud and from all devices using iCloud Photo Library. If you want to reduce the storage space required on your Mac the following quote from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support may help:
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

HT4527 How can move the apps and playlists on my iPad to my Mac? Whenever I attempt to sync, I get a message stating that all apps and music on my iPad will be replaced by content from my Mac and there are no content. Thanks.

the apps will not be deleted if the itunes is authorised for the apple id from which you downloaded the apps.
for the songs if you have downloaded it from a store other than itunes an app "TuneAid" will help you. download the full version then you can copy all the songs on the ipad to ur itunes library

I mostly work on Mac desktop, but use a Macbook Pro on trips. Due to limited HD space on the latter, I want to create a library of part of the images on the Mac, to be used on the Macbook. I do not however want to remove these images from the Mac library.

Choose one or more Projects, and then use Export as New Library (from File). The resulting export will be a fully functioning Aperture Library to either transfer and open on the Macbook Pro, or to Import into a library you already have on the MBP.

Can't stream HD content from iMac to Apple TV - help pls!

Hi.
Until a few days ago everything worked fine but now I can't stream HD movies from my iMac iTunes library to my Apple TV or iPad.
My library is recognized just fine, I can access all the films - but when I try to play them all I get is the dreaded waiting circle which just circles forever without any movie playing. SD content will play but only after a loooong wait - but forget HD films. They just circle forever - in a few cases they will play for a few seconds and then halt.
As mentioned, I have the same issue on my iPad Mini 2, so it might not solely be an ATV problem but rather a Yosemite / iTunes issue? Not sure.
The facts:
I have changed nothing in my setup from a few days ago when everything worked fine and until now when nothing does.
I have rebooted my router.
I have rebooted my iMac and made sure Yosemite is updated.
I have factory reset my ATV3 and updated it to the latest firmware
I have renamed my iMac iTunes library as was suggested by someone in another thread.
I have tested my network speed and it's fine (30 MB down / 7 up)
Still it doesn't work :-(
Can anyone help? This is so annoying - it's like the transmission speed has gone way down between my imac and ATV and iPad.

For what it's worth this is my story, Apple TV on which I now rely totally for my entertainment started getting sluggish a few weeks/months? ago, both the one in the bedroom and in the living room. Loading was desperate the spinning wheel driving me to distraction, I did all the usual reset the settings, rebooted the Mac, repaired the disk and kicked the cat, brief respite and then back to the dreaded whirligig of death.
This evening I tried something different, my Airport Extreme handles 2.4 and 5GHz so I ran Wireless Diagnostics (hold down option key whilst clicking on wi-fi symbol) (then go to window in menu bar and select scan) and ran a scan.
The scan identified the best channels for both frequencies, I selected these as opposed to automatic and all was well, average time to load and start a movie 20 seconds.
Try it I hope it works for you I have had so much help from the Apple communities for so many years I hope I can give a little back.

I want to consolidate iMovie content from 3 differet versions of OSX to an external HD. How?

I am about to get a new MacPro. I need to consolidate my iMovie content from Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion all onto one external HD. Where do I look for the files I need to back up, what files do I need and is there any APP that will assist me in consolidating them into the new iMovie in Mavericks?

Presumably you have been using iMovie 9.
First you should consolidate your media from within iMovie 9 on the hard drive it is on now so that the iMovie events and projects folders have copies of everything you need and no links which will break when you move it to another disk. See:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9
You can then copy the folders to the root level of your external hard drive.
When you connect this hard drive to your mac Pro (I'm jealous!), imovie 10 should 'see' the folders and offer to update your projects and events to an imovie 10 library. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6012?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If you have a lot of projects and media it may be best not to update everything at once but in stages. Each update session will go into a different library. I can explain further if necessary.

You have to update to 10.6.8 first.
Then, if your machine qualifies, this explains how to get Mavericks:

Heyyo6789 depending upon the Adobe Creative software title installed the update mechanism in the menu bar may still be needed.
Thank you for the feedback. This behavior will likely be changed in a future version of the Creative Cloud Desktop applications. I would recommend referencing Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes which is updated with features which have been added to the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

HT1399 I want to change my ipod from our Mac computer upstairs to the PC in the basement. How do I do that without loosing my songs?

I have an older ipod shuffle. It was originally sinced to the MAC upstairs. I want to add it to my itunes account and sync it to my PC in the basement and not loose my songs.

Copy the library from the Mac to the PC.
Or copy the media from the Mac to the PC and add it to the library you've already got there.
Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
