Mirroring Internet from MacBook Pro to apple TV

Im thinking of buying the latest Apple TV, and want to replace cable. Between Itunes, Netflix and HuluPlus, I would have almost everything minus a few shows. If I'm watching something on the Internet on my MacBook Pro (running Lion), can I mirror it to my Apple TV? That was something the older model couldn't do, and if it still can't, I'll just stick with my Roku player.

Mirroring from your MAc to ATV(2nd, 3rd gen) is coming in the next OS X(10.8) update and should only be $29 bucks. I and numerous other people want this feature. Sadly your going to have to wait until Mid summer for it. I've personally already ditched cable.
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion. Even more innovation comes to the Mac.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only content in your iTunes library can currently be sent via AirPlay from your mac.

Okay, use AirPlay if the Mac supports it or Home Sharing.

Airplay mirroring between my MacBook Pro and Apple TV (1080p one) has always worked fine until now. I only sometimes get video but usually just audio. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly!

Airplay mirroring problems from MacBook Pro only

I have the second newest MacBook Pro (the one that came out before the retina display) and an apple tv (Generation 3) that i just purchased last week. When i go to do airplay mirroring to put youtube or movies on the sound is perfect but the video is only a blurry picture of my screen and it updates the picture about once every minute and gets stuck on another blurred picture. but i also have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 2 and airplay mirroring work just fine on that. Any answers to this would be awesome!!!
P.S. i bought the Apple TV to stream the BCS Bowl from my MacBook to my tv and that day we used it the airplay mirroring worked Flawless, but since that day it has been acting screwy.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

PLAY DVD MOVIE FROM MACBOOK PRO TO APPLE TV

HOW CAN I PLAY A DVD MOVIE ON MY MACBOOK PRO AND MIRROR IT MY APPLE TV.

Native mirroring requires a recent Mac (2011 or later) running 10.8
Older hardware can use 3rd party options like Airparrot
The native DVD player is blocked from mirroring but VLC should work

HT201343 how to mirror late 2008 macbook pro to apple tv

I have a late 2008 macbook pro. Can I mirror this to apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

AirPlay Mirroring is only compatible with Early 2011 and newer MacBooks Pro, so your MacBook isn't compatible. However, you can use a third-party application to mirror your computer onto your Apple TV, as AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com

Connecting Ipad to internet from Macbook Pro

Urgent help needed to connect my iPad to internet.I do not have wifi but have a 3G USB card to access internet from my Macbook Pro.I need to connect my iPad to internet to download stuff.Can someone tell me how to use the Mac's internet sharing to connect the iPad? I tried a few methods listed online but it did not work.I am using Mountain Lion.

Using internet sharing I was able to share the connection & my iPad recognizes it & connects to it. I even see the check mark on the left of the connection name with an i button on the right.However safari is unable to connect to the internet on my iPad. Do I need to do something else like a username password? The http proxy is set to off on the iPad.

Very Slow Streaming from MacBook Pro to Apple TV

I am trying to stream movie from my MacBook to my Apple TV but the movies do not stream. My library shows up on my Apple TV and when I select them they do not load. After a few minutes a message will show up saying, "An error occurred loading this content, Try again later." I have had my Apple TV for about 5 months and have not had any problems streaming content before except when I had to do some port forwarding through my router but about a week ago it started with this issue. I have a PC hooked up to my network and am able to stream from that without any problems. My MacBook is running OSX 10.8.2 with iTunes 11.0.1, my Apple TV is running 5.1.1. Please help with any suggestions you might have.

You don't sync or drag and drop rentals to the tv, you need to move them.
Transferring rentals will look something like this

Incredibly slow streaming of video from macbook pro to apple tv

Hi. We purchased an apple tv 3rd generation connected to wifi. our internet runs about 7mb/sec. no problem streaming movies purchased on itunes through apple tv but ridiculously slow streaming mp4 through itunes to apple tv over macbook. when i say ridiculously, not even sure if it works... just seems to think about it. home sharing is enabled on both devices. i know they are communicating because i can play my music library on the tv (which is also pretty slow). am i missing something?

Home sharing is done over the local network so internet speed wouldn't play a factor. I would be inclined to think it is specific to the videos you are trying to share.
Have you made sure they are compatible with the Apple TV?
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Sending content from Macbook Pro to Apple TV

Have had Apple TV for a year, and am still don't know how to send movies from the laptop (Mavericks) to Apple TV. Have turned on Home Sharing, but what then?
Is a cable necessary? A good wireless (Verizon) network is available.
If someone could post a step-by-step procedure I'd be very grateful.

home sharing is the appletv being able to access supported media in a shared itunes lib on your computer it works pretty much the same way as other computers on the same network as you can access media from your itunes lib if you set it as shared
iTunes: How to share music and video
airplay mean sending media such as audio and video to be displayed on the appletv as in pretty much the opposite as shared lib
not all macs support airplay mirror which include video read more

Streaming video from macbook pro to apple tv

Hello, I understand that you can use airdisplay to stream the whole desktop view to the apple tv. However, I've found that its extremely laggy when I play videos that way. When I do, the video and sound is always off by a second. When I stream using my ipad or iphone to play videos that never happens and runs perfectly. Is there a way to just stream videos from sites like youtube for the mac like the iphone and ipad?

Yes, forget streaming that way, .....the ANSWER youre looking for is the APP BEAMER
you cannot stream youtube, rather ON COMPUTER video and movie files.
free trial to test it

for streaming elsewise, use VLC STREAMER
