Mac Air and Apple TV, before I buy question

Hello,
This is a before I buy Apple TV question.
1. Can I control iTunes and movies in my Mac Air to view on my Samsung TV which will have Apple TV connected to it? In other words, I want to sometimes be able to "DJ" my music or launch movies directly out of the Mac Air (I just want to know if I can do it)
2. When using Apple TV via its remote  on my Samsung TV, can Apple TV see my iTunes Match/cloud and play it? (on the Samsung TV) Or does Apple TV only play music or movies stored in my Mac Air?
Thank you
S

1. You can always mirror your mac on your TV using AirPlay (sound and video).
You can also directly use you Apple TV to play music stored on your mac.
Both solutions works. I personnaly prefer to stream music and movies from my Ipad/mac to my Apple TV, I do it all the time.
2. Hum, I dont use itunes match, I couldnt tell.

  • HT4437 What is difference between air play and home sharing if you just want to show iPhoto's on HD tv through apple tv (just purchased MacBook Air and Apple tv)

    What is difference between air play and home sharing when wanting to show photos on HD tv through apple tv?  Just bought Mac book air and apple tv. 

    You would have to use home-sharing if streaming from a computer. Computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

    Airplay would be useful if streaming from an IOS device

  • New Mac Air and HP monitor.  The monitor only displays the background.  How Can I get both to display the same thing?

    I have a new Mac Air and want to use my HP Monitor HPLP2475w to save $$.  I attached it to the Mac Air but all I get is the background of my laptop.  How do I get this to match or use in the dual mode.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jackie,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  How did you attach the Macbook Air to your HP Monitor?  What cable did you use?  The article below will explain how to setup the display.  Video Mirroring is the option that will allow you to see your computer's display on your HP.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19035?viewlocale=en_US
    You can easily view the contents of your Mac on a display, like an Apple Thunderbolt Display, or on your TV.
    Connect an Apple Thunderbolt Display: 
    Plug the display’s cable directly into the Thunderbolt port  on your Mac. 
    Connect an Apple LED Cinema Display: 
    Plug the display’s cable directly into the Thunderbolt port  on your Mac. 
    Connect a TV or display with an HDMI connector: 
    Plug the cable directly into the HDMI port on your Mac. For more information about using a TV, see Use your TV as a display. 
    Connect a display with a VGA connector: 
    Use a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter to connect the display to the Thunderbolt port  on your Mac. 
    Connect a display with a Mini DisplayPort: 
    Plug the display’s cable directly into the Mini Display port  on your Mac. 
    After you connect your Mac, the contents of your screen automatically appear on the display or TV. 
    If your display uses a video port that’s not available on your Mac, you may be able to use an adapter to connect your display. For example, If your Mac doesn’t include an HDMI port, you can use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI video adapter with the Thunderbolt port on your Mac.

    Set up the displays for video mirroring
    Video mirroring shows the entire desktop on each connected display.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Display.
    Set both displays to the same resolution.
    Click Arrangement, then select Mirror Displays.
    Enjoy your new Mac!

  • Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.

    Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.

    Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
    You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine.  You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
    That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
    You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
    You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

  • Exchanging photos between mac air and iPod touch

    I have recently switched to using mac.  I want to find out how to transfer pic from ipod touch to mac air and from air to ipod touch without using the itune sync.
    Also, before i used the sync. in itune to transfer pics from mac to ipod touch before and now I have three photo album on my ipod touch that i can't delete. Can someone please tell me how to delete them?
    Thank you!

    You can use "photostream" in iCloud, but the photos will only stay a certain period of time in the cloud.
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    All other syncing and erasing of synced pictures has to go via iTunes, only photos taken with the iPod can be deleted inside the camera roll.

  • Can i set up remote desktop with my Mac Air and Windows 7 HP desktop?

    I am wanting to set up remote desktop with my Mac Air and HP windows 7 home edition desktop.  Is this possible and how do I begin setting this up?
    Thanks for the help!

    There is an app in the Mac App Store to use Microsoft Remote Desktop with a Mac: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417?mt=12
    But according to their support site it requires Pro, Enterprise, or Ultimate in the Windows 7 side. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn473006.aspx
    If it was me, I would first look into Teamviewer to see if it will do what you need. It does work between Mac and Windows and it is free for non-commercial use. http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx

  • Mac air and other Macs

    I currently have a iMac and am considering purchasing a Mac Air for when I travel. My question is if I do that can I get TV Shows and Movies that I have downloaded in iTunes from my iMac to a Mac Air (I assume if I can go one way I can go the other).
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Scott

    My question is if I do that can I get TV Shows and Movies that I have downloaded in iTunes from my iMac to a Mac Air (I assume if I can go one way I can go the other).
    Yes. You need to move the files manually(which won't work with rented movies) or transfer them through an iPod or similar Apple device.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What do you mean by primary iCloud templates and documents.
    Additionally, is your profile correct, because OS X 10.6.8 cannot use iCloud.
