Is it possible to remotely view a macbook on an HDTV using Apple TV.

I want to if I would be able to view my mac computer on my Vizio HDTV using Apple TV. I want to find a way to do this wirelessly, so if no any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV is not intended to mirror a computer to the TV, you will need a cable to do this but you won't need an Apple TV.

  • Is it possible to remote-access my MacBook Pro away from home?

    Is it possible to remote-access my MacBook Pro away from home?
    What I currently have:
    Late-2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 (OSX Mavericks 10.9.5)
    2.5ghz Intel i7 quad-core
    16gb RAM, 1024gb SSD raid-0 (internal)
    Connecting to the internet through:
    Apple Time Capsule 2TB (via ethernet)
    +
    Time Warner Cable "Ultimate 100" (top speed)
    I would basically like to be able to have my MacBook Pro on *at home* and connected to the internet via ethernet to the Apple Time Capsule.. and then be able to somehow connect and log in to my MacBook Pro, either through another computer or preferably, my iPhone 5s..
    Mostly just interested in having accessibility to be able to make downloads, such as magnet links, while away from the computer.. and basically be able to come home to mostly finished or complete downloads.. Basically like how you can DVR/TiVo things from your iPhone and have it sync with your DVR/TiVo while away from home..
    Is this possible? Thank you!!

    Yes you can do this.
    I would suggest you start with TeamViewer.com (free for personal use).
    You will need to install TeamViewer on your Mac AND your iPhone.
    The Mac version will need to be configured for unattended remote access.  You should practice before you leave the home.
    There are other iPhone apps that can remotely access a Mac.  A lot depends on whether they can get past the home NAT router.  Be careful of apps that provide VNC access, but do not provide a way to get past the home router.  If you try one of these, make sure you test it away from your home WiFi network.

  • Am i able to mirror my macbook to the tv using apple tv 2

    am i able to mirror my macbook to the tv using apple tv 2

    I've been frustrated by the same question since I got my Apple TV a few days ago. I thought that Airfoil would be able to solve the problem - it doesn't. There is a browser extension called ClickToPlay that used to enable that capabiity, but the latest Apple TV firmware broke it. The Mac display will stream to the Apple TV for a few seconds, but then drops out.
    My latest attempt was to try Air Display, but that won't connect to my Apple TV. The documentation indicates that it should, since I think the Apple TV is supposed to be an AirPlay enabled device, but Apple seems to have it totally locked up into iTunes. I've seen rumors that Apple is going to incorporate the ability to mirror Mac computer displays some time in the future, so I'm anxiously waiting for that or for some creative developer to figure out how to do it. If anyone sees the solution, please post it.

  • Can you use AirPlay to connect your Macbook to a HDTV via apple TV if the Macbook screen is shut and you have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard?

    I would like to display my Macbook content to myHDTV via apple TV airplay however I would like to store the computer in the entertainment center with the display closed and use the bluetooth keybard and trackpad to control the computer. Any thoughts?

    Yes, you can. XD
    I thought now airplay is eqully functioning as HDMI/thunderbolt cables, wirelessly. But only one problem, with 1080P videos, it is a little bit laggy for my Macbook Air 2011, perhaps if you get a newer model, this won't happen at all.

  • Displaying MacBook on Panasonic HDTV USED to work...

    Anyone have any idea why one day I was able to use my Panasonic 50" HDTV as a monitor for my MacBook, and then suddenly the next day it stops working? I'm using mini-DVI to DVI and DVI to HDMI adapter/cables. Would having updated the security software the last time have anything to do with this? Thanks!

    I have a similar problem, just ran a software update for my macbook yesterday and since then my Samsung 20" T200HD has stopped working properly. I can still get an image but the resolution is crap now. It seems my mac is not recognizing the Samsung as the main Display anymore even when I put it to sleep with lid down and wake it up using an external keyboard. Anyone else having problems with their external displays? Is apple releasing any fixes for these issues?

  • HT200131 When I connect my MacBook Air to my TV using Apple TV, the audio stays on my MacBook and does not transfer to my TV. Thus the volume is very low when I am watching a Movie on my TV and I have to listen to the volume from my laptop. How can I fix

    When I connect my MacBook to my television using Apple TV the audio stays on the MacBook and doesn't transfer to the TV. How can I make it so I can hear the Movie or Video through my TV's speakers and not my MacBook's?

    This is called "extended desktop mode".  It's an extension of the desktop off to the right (by default) of your MBair screen.  Grab an app and drag it off the right side of your MBair screen and it will appear on the TV.
    To mirror your MBair screen on the TV you can press Command F1.  This will toogle between mirror and extended desktop.
    You can find all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

  • Audio problem with boot camp when I connect my windows 7 macbook pro to HDTV

    I have windows 7 32 bits installed on my macbook pro and I setup boot camp 4. When I connect my macbook pro to HDTV using mini display cable, the audio doesn't work. Although I set the default sound device to digital audio? help please!

    I've found that jiggling with the audio connection to my Mac Pro when running in Boot camp, I get audio OK. I don't understand why -- because I always get audio when running in Leopard.

  • Prevent Apple Remote from waking MacBook Pro

    The Apple Remote that comes with the new MacBook Pro can be used to put the machine to sleep. It can also be used to wake it from sleep, by pushing any button on the remote.
    Is there a way to prevent the Apple Remote from being able to wake the machine, other than removing its battery or using the Security settings to turn the IR port off? Both seem a little drastic, as I do want to be able to use the remote once the machine is on; I just don't want the remote waking it accidentally, especially when I'm travelling.

    thanks, I had no idea that was possible.
    As for your problem, I don't know, but surely if your MBP is in a bag, and the remote is not in line-of sight, it would not accidentally wake it anyway??
    Also I'm pretty sure the MBP will not wake up if the lid is closed.
