Laptop/iPad connection to projector using Apple TV??

Hi all, just wondering is it possible to wirelessly mirror a laptop to a projector using Apple TV in the same way as it is now possible with iPad2?? Involved with an education centre so it would be very handy to cater for both laptop and iPad, depending on the equipment being used by a guest speaker.
Is this possible? Is there a better way than Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No that's not currently not possible via an Apple TV. You need to use a cable.

  • I want to use my iPad with a projector using apple tv. How do I homeshare if the iPad cannot access itunes when away from home?

    I want to use my iPad to give presentations using Apple TV. How do I get the two to homeshare so that they "talk" to one another. Instructions say use iTunes but I am getting very confused over why this is necessary when all I want to do is link 2 pieces of equipment without having to use wi-fi.! Wi-fi won't be available at the locations where I have to give presentations. Help!

    Thanks Dave. There is still a problem. The iPad will only stream to the projector whilst connected to Wi-fi. The icon disappears from "iPod" on the iPad (the only place it appears, not iTunes as the instructions say) once Wi-fi is disconnected. Only audio will stream, no icon appears in the drop-down menu to show that pictures will go over. The outcome of courrse is that, as it stands, the iPad cannot be used for presntations using Keynote, neither can it be used in a location without Wi-fi, which rather defeats the object of have having bought the equipment in the first place having been assured that with Apple TV it would be possible. Is there anything else I can try? I would add that I have downloaded any available updates to Apple TV. All itmes were bought 3 weeks ago so should be reasonably up to date anyway.

  • I have a new Ipad and was trying to sync from Itune what is on my Iphone. It keeps saying "Ipad can't be used Apple Moble device service isn't started".  ????  help  It also said that on my Iphone just now when I was trying to connect to Itunes.

    Right click 'computer' in your PC/laptop (whichever).  Click 'Manage', then 'Services and Applications', then 'Services', you should see 'Apple Mobile Device' running or stopped.  If you couldn't find 'Apple Mobile Device', it means you haven't download iTunes into your PC/laptop (whichever).

  • Can you connect your Ipad to a projector using Bluetooth

    Can you connect your Ipad to a projector using Bluetooth, if so what projectors, My situation is that I want to connect my Ipad3 wireless to a projector where there is no wifi available so the apple TV and airplay won't work.

    No.
    If you have an Apple TV, get an Apple Airport Express wireless router which is small enough to fit on your pocket. You can set up a wireless network without having to have internet for your iPad and Apple TV to be connected to.
    Or use a wired connection.

  • Currently I have two iPads connected to the same Apple ID and one connected to Game Center. I want to connect the second iPad to Game Center so that I do not lose my progress on apps like Clash of Clans.

    Currently I have two iPads connected to the same apple iPad. One is connected to game center(iPad air) one the other(iPad 2) is not connected to Game Center. How can I connect the iPad 2 Clash of Clan progress to game center when I already have another clash from iPad air connected?

    You cannot transfer content between two accounts. The sooner you make the conversion, the better. Just pick the new one and start using it(buying music etc).
    *A lot of people open new accounts when their email changes or they have a new email. You can just access your apple id account and change the primary email that you use to log in along with other details.

  • How to mirror games (real racing3) from iPad to samsung tv, using apple tv ?

    Hello, how do I mirror games (real racing3) from iPad to samsung tv, using apple tv & apple extreme card ? Kind Regards Sean.

    If your going to play real time games your best bet is to use the HDMI adaptor. Due to the lag or rather delay with the response time of Apple TV or any other wireless method. Other then that you should be able to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to pull up your settings. Tap on Apple TV then chose mirroring. The icon only appears if the Apple TV box is ready and able to connect.

  • I manage 60 ipads for a school using Apple Configurator. Need to update to iOS7 and AC1.4.3...Is it best to use Mountain Lion or Mavericks, as I also need to update from Lion 10.7 for the new AC and iOS to work properly.

    I manage 60 ipads for a school using Apple Configurator. Need to update my devices to iOS7 and Apple Configurator to 1.4.3...Is it best to use Mountain Lion or Mavericks, as I also need to update from Lion 10.7 for the new Apple Configurator and iOS7 to work properly.

    I always run a Time Machine backup before updating anything and recommend you run a backup as well. Paid apps should migrate over without any problem. If you have problems with VPP codes not transfering over properly, you can talk to your Apple SE or contact VPP for Education support and they can help you. While I haven't experienced any problems with updating, its never a guarantee that others will have the same experience.
    Good luck!

  • I can not connect to projector using Thunderbolt to VGA adapter

    When booting on Windows 7 using Boot Camp I am not able to connect to projector. I have a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter. It works fine when booting on Mac OS. Do i need to update any drivers or am i using wrong adapter? I have Boot Camp version 4.0.

    If this is you home wifi try resetting the router.  Turn if off at the wall wait a minute and turn it back on.  Are you sure you have the right password?

  • I am not able to connect my iPad 1 with TV using apple VGA adapter

    Hello,
    When I connect my iPad 1 with a wide screen TV using the apple VGA connector, there's no display on the TV.
    But when I do the same thing from iPad 2, the iPad screen is projected on TV.
    Please help

    Sounds like the one common thing is the adapter. The cheaper, non apple branded ones tend to fail.
    Try another adaptor before worrying about your ipad.

  • HT1365 just installed a new wireless router (cisco linkseys E1200) and our apple laptops connect fine on one floor but lose connectivity when moved to another.  Other non apple laptops & Ipad connect with no problem no matter what floor they are on

    We just installed a new wireless router to our main PC.  It's a Cisco Linkseys E1200.  All other wireless devices were able to connect without a problem, including my Ipad.  We have 2 Macbook Pro laptops.  They both connect just fine when on the same floor of our house as the router, but when we take them upstairs to the 2nd floor of the house, they lose connectivity and it states the wireless password is not the correct password.  All other 2nd floor laptops have no problem at all with connectivity no matter where they are in the house.  Please help- my husband is on the verge of selling Apple if that cannot be remedied. 

    This would not be a security issue symptom. I would consider checking for sources of wireless interference HT1365

  • HT1923 My iPad connects me to the Apple store in england and won't allow me to purchase or dos load anything as I am supo sed to use a store in Argentina. Would prefer USA.how do I change?

    How do I change geographical locación of Apple store?

    Hi Ronpato,
    Sign on to iTunes. Once signed on, click on your Sign On ID, and in the dropdown, click on View Account. In the Country/Region section, click on Change Country or Region. Follow the instructions to change your iTunes store country.
    Note: In order to change to another country, your AppleID must have an address in that country, and if you are using a Credit Card for payment method, the credit card must be issued by a bank in that country. The iTunes store will let you know if the country you have selected is not valid for your AppleID/iTunes Sign on ID.
