I want to stream movies I have on my Mac Book Pro to my 2nd Gen Apple TV

I am new to Apple TV but it was my understanding that I could stream videos that are on my MacBook Pro (About 6 months old)
I am getting Hulu+ and iTunes as well as somme of my music but so far I have not figured out how to stream my video.
I would appreciate any words of wisdom
Thanks

  • I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

    IMAC DVD Player does not recognizing dvd movie . I have an IMAC (10.7.4) using DVDPlayer (vers. 5500.26.11) and it will not recognize/play a dvd movie...it thinks it is a blank dvd. The IMAC will play rented dvd movies.   The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player  The dvd move was made/burned on a PC.   Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?

    Hello:
    This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
    When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

  • I have a 17" Mac Book Pro and a 13" Mac Book Pro...both use the same Apple ID. My wife now wants to change the Apple ID on the 13" to her Apple ID.  How do I do this and not loose the information on that computer?

    Hello Teddy53149 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Follow this procedure:
    Change your OS X account name and home directory name - Apple Support
    As they recommend and as always when you're messing with administrator accounts back everything up first.

    You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
    From Readers Digest-February, 2005
    How to Complain
          You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
    Have a goal
    If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
    Keep it short
    Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
    Stick with it
    You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
    Skip ultimatums
    Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
    Plead your case
    Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
    Be nice
    You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
    Good luck.

  • HT5628 When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5? I have a new Mac book Pro 2013 and cannot install. Apple please advise.

    When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5? I have a new Mac book Pro 2013 and cannot install. Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.
    Apple please advise.

    Apple does not respond in these forums except occasionally an Apple employee will stop by. If you want to contact Apple, use the contact us link at the bottom of this page.
    With respect to your question "When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5?" you are asking us to speculate as to when Apple will release their drivers supporting Windows 8.1. We do not know, and we can not speculate as to when. From the terms of use of this forum:
    "Unless otherwise noted, do not add Submissions about nontechnical topics, including:
    Speculations or rumors about unannounced products."
    The planned dates of production or release of Windows 8.1 drivers are speculation about the drivers.
    With respect to your other question, "Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.". I answered you.

  • I have a 2010 Mac Book Pro with OS 10.7.5. How do I upgrade to 10.8 (Mountain Lion)?

    I have a 15" Mac Book Pro purchased new in 2010. I'm currently on 10.7.5 and would like to upgrade to 10.8, which I think is Mountain Lion. Am I correct? and how do I do that? I can only find info on upgrade to Mavericks.
    I have been advised by my local Authorized Apple Repair tech that I should not upgrade to Mavericks until I complete the migration of my HUGE website from iWeb to another software (wordpress). He tells me Mavericks doesn't work well with iWeb because that software is going away.
    I'm also concerned about the news about the problem with the shell called Bash and want to protect my laptop by getting any fix for that problem.

    All recent versions of Mac OS X use bash, so avoiding Mavericks won't help you with that problem (which isn't a problem for most users).
    iWeb is another matter. My advise: migrate your website to Wordpress first and start thinking about upgrades later.

  • I have a 2009 mac book pro.  CDs will not load in OSX - however it will load CDs in Win 7 via bootcamp.  Same with any CD or DVD.  Any ideas on what is wrong?

    I have a 2009 mac book pro running 10.6.8.  I also use win 7 via boot camp.  I can load CDs and DVDs fine, when booted onto win 7 but cannot get the same dvds or cds loaded when running OSX.  So, I'm having to reboot to win 7, every time I want to import a CD into my itunes library - I load the disc in win 7, then reboot back to osx in order to import the CD into my itunes library (which i have on my OSX side).  When running OSX, everytime I try to load any CD or DVD, the drive shoots the disc right out.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

  • How do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running os x 10.5.8

    how do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running 10.5.8

    I might also add your signature is not in congruence with your post.  Do you have 10.8.5, or 10.5.8.  10.8.5 is a free update to 10.9.   10.5.8, you must buy 10.6, download the free 10.6.8 combo to get to 10.8 or 10.9 via the App Store.
    The sequence of the numbers matters greatly.
    Per my prior post
    10.5.8 < 10.6< 10.6.8 < 10.7 < 10.8 < 10.8.5 < 10.9
    People just wanting 10.7 from 10.5.8 can purchase either 10.6 on CD, download 10.6.6 combo, and use the App Store to upgrade to 10.7.   They can also purchase the 10.7 USB Flash drive if it can be found, and install it on an external drive, and import the data over once they are ready to run 10.7.
    The key is knowing your software and driver compatibility.

  • I have a new Mac Book Pro with Retina, and Keynote crash almoset every time i use it?

    I have a new Mac Book Pro with Retina, and Keynote crashes almoset every time i use it? I have the newest update.
    Could you please help me? I have a lot of Keynote shows, and I have to use it now!!
    I have saved a crash report, if you need it.

    Apple will not write back to you. Telephone using the Apple Care phone number appropriate for your country and ask for a refund, if that is what you want to do.
    I use Keynote everday, it does exactly what it says it will do,  that is if your NOT using Mountain LIon.
    There are many applications available
    I have used MS PowerPoint professionally for many years on both Windows and Mac, I can assure you it can do everything that Keynote can do and very much more.
    Which software you choose depends on who you are and who you are presenting to.
    for interactive presentations look at:
    PowerPoint
    Adobe Flash
    Adobe Director
    Camtasia
    Dreamweaver (an HTML application)
    for simple photo slide shows:
    iPhoto
    iMovie
    Picasa
    Photomagico
    Adobe Lightroom

  • I have an '09 mac book pro running os x mavericks. How do I empty the startup disk?

    I have an '09 mac book pro running os x mavericks. My startup disk is full. How do I empty it? I want to shift my videos to another external hard drive or delete them altogether.

    I think you're asking how to free up some space. Either copy the files off to an external drive and delete them, or just delete them. Delete means drag to the trash. Then empty the trash.

  • I have an '09 mac book pro with an iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) and I'm having trouble DVD burning.

    I have an '09 mac book pro with an iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) and I'm having trouble DVD burning. I attempted to burn a DVD but the following error message appeared - 'Burning preparation error. Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. iDVD needs 6,541 GB of disk space to encode the remaining assets, but only 2,179 GB is available at "Macintosh HD". I've moved several items over to an external hard drive but this error message remains. How do I save this movie to the preferred external hard drive?

    You can move the iDVD project file to the EHD but you still need plenty of free space on your boot drive for encoding.
    It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 20-25 GB of free space be maintained on the boot drive.  Otherwise you'll run into what you're experiencing and increased encoding times.

  • Hi I have a new mac book pro. I am swopping over from an imac. An authorizethis computer message has come up for an old itunes account. I have no idea what the password is. Is there a way to find out or transfer to my new account?

    Hi I have a new mac book pro. I am swopping over from an imac. An authorize this computer message has come up for an old itunes account. I have no idea what the password is. Is there a way to find out or transfer to my new account?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.
