Mirroring imac on TV screen

Is it possible to mirror my imac screen on my TV screen. I have an apple TV and a first generation ipad

VLC can be used to play video back at full screen on a second monitor.
This thread recounts my experience with eyeTV, CyTV and VLC.
However if you play the movie files through VLC direct, you should be able to do what you want to.

  • I have an Imac in my bedroom and apple tv hooked to my big screen in my living room. When I select mirror Imac on the Imac to view on the big screen in living room, can I get a wireless keyboard and track pad to control Imac from living room?

    I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

  • Monitor Mirroring - iMac 24 with damaged LCD screen

    My iMac 24 LCD screen is damaged to the point where it is basically worthless. I have attached an external monitor via a VGA adaptor. Problem...since I cannot see the screen, I cannot get into system preferences to select "detect displays". Is there any way for the computer to detect the external monitor automatically? Or other suggestions. Thanks.

  • Can I use split screens on and extra monitor I have. I can get mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900.

    Can I use split screens on an extra monitor I have? I can get a mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900 AOC 20inch monitor. Hope I haven't wasted my money buying this £69 monitor. My 13" Macbook Pro is a little small for my ageing eyes. Thanks

    In the display settings on your computer uncheck "mirrored". This will put the displays in "extended" mode. In extended mode you can set the external display to its native resolution as well as drag windows from your computer to the external monitor. I assume that is what you mean when you say "split screen".

  • Which Airport card do I need for an iMac G4 Flat Screen 15"?

    Hi, I have an iMac G4 (flat screen, with silver arm and round base), 15".
    I'd be extremely grateful if someone could let me know which Airport card I need for this Mac and also whether or not I also require an adaptor. I have looked this up on the Apple site and also in 'The Flatscreen iMac for Dummies' book (I'm a complete technophobe, I'm afraid!), but am none the wiser.
    If possible, model numbers for the Airport card and adaptor that I do need would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Jeremy

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and click on More Info, or if you're running Mac OS 9, choose Apple System Profiler from the Apple menu. Check the speed of the computer's CPU; if it is below 1GHz, you need the regular AirPort card, with the AirPort Extreme card being used on newer iMacs. No iMac G4 requires an adaptor to use an AirPort card.

  • Why can't I use a Thunderbolt iMac as a screen for an TV or a gaming console?

    Is there any hopes for a device/adapter that would make it possible to use an Thunderbolt-equipped iMac as a screen for other devices? It worked with DisplayPort, why wouldn't it work with Thunderbolt? Is it just a business political decision?

    don't know if the OP will be back, but here are perfect instructions for creating text tones:

  • IMac 27" frozen screen

    just can not identify in what situations, but when my Mac has a frozen screen, I have no other alternative but to push the off button. The most ironic thing is that, clearly the internet connection keeps. I know this because I'm usually listening to online radio. When it occurs, I can not change my dashboard and also can not switch to another application because I can not use the keyboard and the mouse click does not work.
    I am currently using Mac OS X Yosemite, but the problem has persisted for several other versions of the system.
    I

    I have exactly the same problem with a my 27" iMac of exactly the same vintage and configuration. It freezes this way anywhere between once a day and once a week.
    I also see an additional variation of this crash, where when I wake up the machine from sleep, the backlight comes on, but no image is drawn. It glows gray. In the form of the crash that Helton reports, the cursor moves with the mouse, but nothing responds to clicks. I've also seen where streaming (and I believe locally stored iTunes) continue) to play. I am not sure whether the machine remains visible on the network.
    I have never used any anti-virus on this machine. In a desperate attempt to isolate the problem I have done the following:
    Fresh clean install of Mavericks onto a new, external Firewire 800 drive
    After the install, I only re-installed the apps I use frequently: iTunes, Aperture, Chrome, Adobe Flash and Microsoft Remote Desktop, HP printer driver, TextWrangler. That's it.
    Replaced 3rd-party memory I had installed with the original factory installed 2x 2GB DIMMs
    Blown out the bottom vents and the circular vent in back with canned air
    Unplugged the external DVI monitor I was using
    Done the usual setting resets via the startup
    Ran the built-in memory checker at startup
    Ran checks on the harddrives for errors, permission problems, etc...
    Wiped the internal drive clean, and did a fresh install on that
    The crashes still occur.
    The system does not appear to be hotter than normal. I used to have a widget that monitors temps (but doesn't change fan speeds).
    This system has the Seagate 1TB harddrive that was eligible for a recall, but I didn't do it. The drive has never reported any SMART errors.
    Since you are still seeing crashes after updating to Yosemite, I'm not sure what to try next, myself. I've considered pulling it apart to make sure there is no dust in the fans. It doesn't seem to be overheating, but despite the sensors, there doesn't seem to be a way to record a regular temperature history to see what the temps were like at the moment of the freeze.
    Of course, it's out of warranty. It's five years old, but it's plenty fast enough for me. The screen is still gorgeous. If it weren't for this, I'd use it for at least another two years. I was thinking of getting a MacMini to plug into it and use the iMac as a screen, but the new MacMinis are dual-core. It wouldn't be a nice leap in performance.

  • Command + F2 does not turn iMac into a screen

    hi, i am trying to use my 27" iMac as a screen to my Macbook Pro Retina.
    I have the thunderbolt cables plugged in, but pressing Command + F2 does not work. Yes i am pressing these buttons on the iMac.
    The first time i tried it a few days ago, the iMac did turn into a screen, but after a while it fell asleep and the connection was lost. I have not been able to restore it again, which is annoying.
    Another guy at work has the same issue and he has found it randomly works and sometimes doesn't.
    Does anyone know why? feel like the $50 spent on the cable is a massive waste of money if its not going to work. Wish apple would fix this.
    Any help is appreciated!
    i have also looked at   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924   and it doesnt have anything i dont already know

    So i was able to solve the issue by updating my operating system. I havent yet upgraded to Mavericks, im still on 10.8.5 but as soon as i updated, the iMac started connecting to the macbook pro.

  • Just got the new iMac. The screen keeps jumping to the launch pad screen randomly when I am working in other applications. Please help.

    Just got the new iMac. The screen keeps jumping to the launch pad screen randomly when I am working in other applications.
    I have the magic mouse, don't know whether it is something to do with that? Any ideas?

    If gumsie's suggestion isn't the answer, try logging into another account, like Guest, and see if you get the same behavior. You may need to clean the windows on the bottom of the mouse.

  • Older model iMac.  Grey screen, no tones, apple logo and spinner, then shuts down.  Tried all greyscreen tips on Apple Website.  Suggestions?

    Older model iMac.  Grey screen, no tones, apple logo and spinner, then shuts down.  Tried all greyscreen tips on Apple Website.  Do not have start up disc.  Do not know what OS it runs.  Suggestions?

    Since you don't have a startup disc you haven't done ALL of the tips on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    I don't know what you've done but you need to follow the tips listed and that could include possibly erasing and reinstalling the OS. Older model iMac does nothing to help us understand what you're working with. You can call Apple and provide them with your serial number and for a fee they'll ship you a set of original install discs or you could possibly use Snow Leopard which you can get for $20 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You can enter the serial number here for specs on the iMac http://www.everymac.com
    And if you don't know where to find the serial number see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1349

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

  • My G5 iMac has a screen color problem. The color is green with lines. What can I do to repar this? Sometimes the screen will freeze and I have to reboot the computer and the screen will be normal for up to 5-6 hours and then suddenly changes back to green

    Try running in Safe mode.  This leaves out some video drivers.  Which results in machine not using advanced video hardware.
