Is it possible to mirror my macbook display onto a powerbook?

Hi. I'm wondering if it were possible to mirror my macbook display onto a powerbook such that videos watched on both screens would be in sync? What are the cables I might require for such a set-up or is there any software I might need to obtain? Thanks.

    Do you know when it will be possible to mirror a MacBook Air on apple tv2

    Only Apple knows when or if this will ever be supported.  They aren't talking..

  • Is it possible to mirror only one display/space/desktop?

    I've searched everywhere for an answer, but I just need to know if I'm "googling" the wrong combination of phrases (or if what I'm asking isn't possible).   
    My set-up is simple.  Macbook pro connected to a projector via VGA.  I've created another desktop (i.e. added a "space"), dubbed "Desktop 2.  Is there a way that I can have my Desktop 2 constantly being mirrored and routed to the projector, while I still work within Desktop 1? 
    For clarification, here's the scenario: I'm a teacher, and I want the student's "warm-up" to be showing on the projector screen from my computer's Desktop 2. While that's happening, I want to be able to be working on things like taking attendance on Desktop 1 without the students seeing (they'd still see Desktop 2's warm-up). 
    Thanks in advance for the good or bad news.

    Thank you Mr. Bob Harris.  That would definitely work, but I failed to mention that I'd like to be able to avoid having to turn my head to look back/to the side towards the projector screen while using my computer (cursor, keyboard, etc.).  In other words, I'd like to mirror that second display so that what I'm seeing on "Desktop 2" is the same thing that's happening on the projector screen.  I know it sounds silly, but I'm a teacher who doesn't like to divert my attention away from the students in front of me (you'd be amazed at what can happen in 3-5 seconds....). 

  • Can I mirror my MacBook display to my Apple TV

    I've seen that AirPlay mirroring can be done for iPad 2, I'm wondering if it can be done from my white MacBook. Anybody try this yet?

    Sorry that isn't currently a feature of OSX.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Only Apple knows that, but you can use a third-party app to mirror your computer display onto your Apple TV, like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com

  • Will IPod Touch be able to mirror it's display using the Apple TV?

    During the "let's talk IPhone event" They showed a new IPhone mirroring it's display onto the apple tv using Airplay. I was wondering if you'd only be able to do this due to some new tech in the IPhone 4S or if it's available to the IPod Touch as well. Thanks for any responses.

    It doesn't seem that the iPod Touch will do mirroring.
    The description of iOS 5 specifically states "AirPlay Mirroring lets you share exactly what’s on your iPad 2 or iPhone 4S with everyone in the room." 
    It seems that the A5 processor is required for mirroring, and "Siri".  At this time, only the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S have the A5 processor.
    Maybe in the future???

  • Is it possible to mirror the display on the Macbook pro which is two years old to my iMac which is four years old? Macbook pro is running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and the iMac is running OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). Neither of them have Thunderbolt ports.

    OK, well I would go with what Apple says in writing but if you want to take a trip to visit the Genius Bar that won't hurt.
    Good luck, I'm 99% certain  you will find I was correct but please let us know.

  • Please help: I want to mirror my MacBook pro with my HDTV.  I realize I need to switch on my Mirroring Icon BUT I cannot find the icon on my menu bar or in the Display section of my System preferences.  Is it possible to get the Icon on my screen somehow?

    I want to mirror my MacBook Pro's screen to my HDTV.  I had it at one time by clicking the Mirror Icon on my upper menu bar but I do not have it any more?
    What am I missing?  In the System Perferences the display menu seems incomplete.  There is no where in there to set my MacBook Pro to mirroring.
    Can someone please help me?
    I would apprecate any help I get.
    Thanks

    The mirroring selection is in the "Arrangement" tab and only shows up on the MacBook Pro LCD, not the external display.

  • HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

    Airplay mirroring.
    Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
    Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
    When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi!
    I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
    I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
    So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
    I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

  • Is it possible to mirror from a G5 to a Cinema display?

    There was a recent post here that addresses this, but my (likely very stupid) question is--isn't it possible to use a mini vga to vga and a dvi to vga adapter to connect your iMac to a Cinema display? Or does the dvi to vga adapter only go one way?
    I'm assuming from the thread mentioned above that this is essentially impossible without a lot of finagling. The website for converters linked shows a VGA to DVI-A converter, but I'm assuming DVI-A is different from DVI?
    I was originally told by an Apple store salesperson--who, in retrospect, clearly had no clue what he was talking about--that the Cinema display would work with my iMac, no problem.
    Unfortunately... I bought a second-hand one off ebay, so now I'm stuck with a monitor that I can't even check the display on (which will probably make reselling it on ebay difficult.) So I'm trying to figure out once and for all if this is impossible and I should just give up, cut my losses, and get a VGA display instead.
    I went into the Apple store today and the ditzy girl I spoke with informed me that "the people in the back" said that it wasn't at all possible to mirror my G5 onto a Cinema display. She clearly didn't know anything beyond what size ipods they carry (if even that), so I'm hoping someone a little more knowledgeable (or maybe even someone who's tried it?) can clarify for me, because the extent of my hardware-related expertise is 'how to install RAM.'
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    (And lesson learned: never count on Apple store salespeople for any information--ever.)

    Thanks for your response Donna! Further research has found me some more clear-cut answers.
    I've read a few success stories of people using the VGAtor to convert their iMac's output from VGA to DVI but I'm apprehensive since it costs $300, and there's no mention of a return policy on their website that I can find. I tried emailing them about compatibility/return policy so I guess we'll see. (The success stories I speak of are in the forum for Screen Spanning Doctor, but the forum's been dead for almost a year now.)
    Gefen's VGA to DVI Scaler seems to be better supported, but that's up to $330.
    I don't want to use a TV, because I'm a graphic designer so I need higher resolution than any TV in my price range can offer.
    But I think I will probably be going with a VGA display though just to save myself the headache. Even if I ended up losing $300 in reselling this display to get one, it would be no different than spending $300 just for a converter--I'm not convinced that the Cinema displays are worth it, when I could get something similar for under $400. If I had wanted to spend $1000 on this upgrade I would've just sold my G5 for a new 24" one.
    I agree it would've been much smarter if they had just made their own DVI adapter, since they DO exist (and enabled screen spanning in the G5, at that.) Or, even more radical... just added a VGA input to their displays--there are plenty of monitors out there with both, so obviously it's possible. If they had actually made the displays compatible with like 90% of their pre-existing systems they could have sold exponentially more. It would have been far more profitable--I love Apple computers, but I'm sure I'm not the only one choosing to buy another brand of monitor rather than fork out thousands to upgrade the display of a perfectly good computer.
    Well, forgive my rambling. In case someone else is curious, I'll wait to see if I get a response to my email, then update and close this.
    Unfortunately now I've gotta lug it on the metro to get it tested, since taking it to the Apple store seems to be my only option right now.

  • How can i wirelessly mirror my macbook pro display to my 2nd gen apple tv?

    Hello,
    I have a new macbook pro 13" and a 2nd Gen Apple TV.  I was wondering if there is an app or a way to wirelessly mirror my macbook pro display to theapple TV without using any HDMI cables/adapters?  Is this something thatcan be done in OSX Lion via Airplay?  I cant find anything about it so iam assuming not but it seems like its something that could easily be done.
    Thanks!

  • Is it possible to connect a MacBook Pro (prev model 2009, 2.26ghz) to an Apple Thunderbolt display:  will the cable fit?

    Is it possible to connect a MacBook Pro (prev model 2009, 2.26ghz) to an Apple Thunderbolt display:  will the cable fit?

    Sorry it won't work.  It will fit but the laptop can't communicate with it.  Please see many of the other threads here, specifically this one just above your post, that is discussing this exact question.
    Apple's specs for the ThunderBolt display state that it needs a ThunderBolt-enabled computer.  Your laptop has a mini-display port connection so it is not compatible with the new displays.

  • I cannot mirror my macbook pro with my tv,there is no tab to select in display settings

    i cannot mirror my macbook pro with apple tv,there is no tab to select in display settings

    That's because the mirror setting, known as Airplay does not work with Mac OS X 10.7.5.
    You need 10.8 or later and a
    AirPlay Mirroring is available with iPad 2 or later; iPad mini; iPhone 4s; iPhone 5; iPod touch (5th generation); and iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer) with Mountain Lion.
    Source:
    https://www.apple.com/airplay/
    Note, Mac OS X 10.9.2 has issues with Airplay, and is the only really secure version of 10.9 at the present time.
    Alternatives to the 10.8 restriction, and 10.9 are listed here:

    I am asking the Moderator to move your post  to the MacBook Pro forum, this is an iMac forum.
    Good luck.
