New iMac doesn't see Apple TV, but Macbook does

Until yesterday I was using my Macbook Pro for the Apple TV. Last night I moved all my content over to my new iMac (copied actually) and I want to start using the iMac for Apple TV. (once everything is set up I will just wipe the content off the MacBook.... 96GB is too much for a laptop!)
Currently the iMac isn't seeing the Apple TV, but the Macbook Pro is. Do I need to remove the Apple TV from the Macbook in order for the iMac to see it? I am just hesitant to try it because there is a warning message that everything will be erased from the Apple TV if I remove it. I am pretty sure everything is on the iMac and therefore wiping the Apple TV won't cause me to lose anything... but I would rather know if this is the solution before I do something like that!
Thanks

Thanks... I was just getting ready to ask a new question I followed the Help guide's instructions to do Settings > Computers > “Connect to iTunes” but we can only stream now with that. So thanks for the response, it helped me to know what was going on there. Now I am going to go see if I can figure out how to do what you suggested.

  • New iMac doesn't see old iMac data on Time Capsule

    I have a brand new iMac - my Time Capsule doesn't see my backup, it sees my Mac Book Pro backup but not old iMac (which is broklen, hence new one from Apple). I can see old iMac data is there through browser but not seen by Migrate assistant. Any ideas?

    Look at manual resstore methods.. I would be careful migrating to a later OS.

  • 27 Inch iMac doesn't mirror to AppleTV - but iTunes does using Airplay

    I was having a heck of a time trying to get mirroring to work from my 27 inch iMac OS10.9.x to AppleTV.  iTunes would send video to AppleTV using Airplay but selecting mirroring did not work even though AppleTV was selectable from the iMac display preferences. .
    Solved:
    After spending hours and several days on the phone with Apple Support who were very persistent in getting to the bottom of this,  and having the Apple Engineering staff involved it was determined  that I had some 3rd party drivers installed.  My system setup was done through Migration Assistant to get this new iMac setup using stuff from my old iMac.
    Uninstalling AirParrott didn't help.  It turns out SplashTop desktop drivers were the problem.  I had did an uninstall of SplashTop but that did not delete the drivers, probably because of the Migrated system? Running some tests Apple advisor was able to determine com.splashtop.driver.SRXDisplayCard and com.splashtop.driver.SRXFrameBufferConnector drivers were still loading at startup.  An initial search of the /System/Library/Extensions directory did not show these files because they are named " SRXDisplayCard " and " SRXFrameBufferConnector " .  Moving these files to the Trash Can and Restarting my iMac and voila I now have mirroring to my AppleTV.  Note that there is another place to look for SRFrameBufferConnection.framework which is a file used in my installation of Splash Desktop.  You can find it at and move /System//Library/Frameworks to the trash. 
    So if you had SplashTop (mine was a 2012 version) on your iMac and can't display using mirroring to AppleTV try the above.

    Does the scanner show up in the System Profiler under USB? (If this is a FW/1394 device, this won't apply...)
    If not you could try an alternate port and see if that helps. I have had situations where specific devices could not be on the same USB Bus as another device... moving them between open USB ports helped as the Buses are not obviously defined.

  • How do I transfer music and photos from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. Have an old FireWire but it does not fit the new iMac

    I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.

    You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.
    Format the drive info here.

  • IPhoto doesn't see my camera, but Finder does. Sometimes works, sometimes not.

    Sometimes, when I connect my camera to my iMac via a USB port, iPhoto does not see the device. Normally, iPhoto starts automatically when the camera is connected. The problem occurs whether or not iPhoto is not running and is initiated manually, or is already running when the camera is connected. In all cases, Finder sees the device and shows it in its list of active devices.
    I have been using this camera and this iMac for a few years without any problems. This problem has only starting occuring in the last two weeks.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    John

    In response to a similar problem reported, it was suggested to repair disk permissions using the disk utility. I did this, but it had no effect. However, after restarting my iMac, the problem was resolved. So, don't know if repairing disk permissions had any effect, or whether simply restarting cleared the problem. Next time it occurs, I will simply restart to see if this is all that is needed.

  • Mac doesn't find Apple TV but iPad does..

    Hi
    I bought a Asus rt-n56u the other day and set it up with my Netgear cg3700 provided to be by my internet supplier. I turned off the router mode on the cg3700 when I connected them both.
    When I tried to airplay a video from iTunes on my mac (macbook pro mid 2010) it doesn't find the Apple TV. Homesharing from the Apple TV doesn't work either (although it did before I installed the rt-n56u). I can't airplay or share my screen from a 2013 macbook air either.
    But when I try to airplay videos from my iPad it works just fine. Furthermore I can access my videos in iTunes on my iPad trough homesharing.
    This means that they are all on the same network and I can play a video in my iTunes-library on my Apple TV by finding it trough homesharing on my iPad and then airplay it from the iPad to my Apple TV. But I would like it to work as it should and not this way.
    Does someone know what I should do to get it to work?
    (I've tried to restart the modem, router, Apple TV, Mac and so on ...)

    Apple unwisely used the name Airplay mirroring in my view as older Macs could only push a pre-rendered iTunes stream (eg purchase) via Airplay.
    Airplay mirroring is quite different as you may know which is why older Macs are not supported.
    This really does sound like a networking configuration issue - you've done the restart all devices I'd normally suggest.
    Are some devices on ethernet?

  • New iMac can't see Laserwriter Select connected to a PC on same LAN-- why?

    I've just returned to the Mac universe after a five year hiatus. When I discovered how well Macs play with PCs and Unix these days, I decided to come back.
    There's just one issue: I can't print to my Laserwriter Select 360, connected by parallel port to a Windows XP Pro PC on my LAN. My new iMac doesn't see the printer at all. The imac does see the PC's workgroup in the Network Neighborhood, and I can mount the shared volumes of that PC on the mac with no problem, so the Mac can talk to the PC for filesharing, anyway. (smb:// address used)
    Applecare has no clue why I can't see the printer. They told me to turn on Windows Sharing and Print Sharing, but that had no effect. The Windows machines on my LAN can all see and print to the shared Laserwriter Select 360, no problem. They're all running Windows XP pro, latest patches.
    The iMac of course has the latest Tiger. All machines are on my internal subnet 192.168.0.*.
    I just got a new cartridge for the Laserwriter, and there's no reason to retire it-- that printer works great. I just can't believe/accept that the iMac can't be made to print to an Apple printer! (Also, I've heard that appletalk->ethernet bridge solutions are flaky so that's not an ideal route).
    Any/all ideas welcome.
    imac g5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Here's the result. The PC is on 192.168.0.2, and the iMac was assigned .18 by DHCP.
    I just tried adding a lexmark printer to the PC (over USB) to see if there might be some difference. The other windows box on the lan sees the LexMark same as it sees the Laserwriter (and both show up in the output of smbclient below). Needless to say, the iMac doesn't see the LexMark either.
    Thanks for your help with this one...

  • I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.

    I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.
    Then I tried to download Safari from Firefox but after finish download, what I got was a dmg file, with a pkg icon (an opened box) and it can't be installed. Same with Google Chrome.
    My question is: how can I download Safari? And will it retain bookmarks?

    Reinstall Safari from the Optional Installs.pkg on your Mac install disc that came with your iMac. Or in your case, you use Pacifist to extract the Safari app from the .dmg file.
    To bookmark a webpage:
    Go to the webpage you want to bookmark. If you use tabs, you can open multiple webpages in tabs to bookmark them as a collection.
    Choose Bookmarks > Add Bookmark, or Bookmarks > “Add Bookmarks for These Tabs.”
    Type a name for the bookmark or collection in the dialog that appears.
    Specify where you want to keep the bookmark or collection. You can add it to the bookmarks bar, the Bookmarks menu, or to a collection if you have created any.
    Click Add.
    To add a bookmark quickly, click the Add button in the toolbar, or drag the webpage’s icon from the address field to the bookmarks bar.
    To see your bookmarks, choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
    In the future, rather then deleting an app, come here and ask for help first. More times then not, you will save yourself time and trouble.

  • IMac doesn't "see" USB Flash drive on initial insertion

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac running Mavericks with a powered SIIG external USB hub. (Rear USB port design on iMac is inconvenient).
    Problem: When I insert a NTFS-formatted USB Flash drive into the hub, the light blinks as expected, but the iMac doesn't "see" it and it doesn't show up in "Devices".
    When I remove and re-insert the USB drive, the iMac then "sees" it just fine and it shows up in "Devices"
    Seeing this consistently.
    Any ideas what might be happening here?
    I also have Paragon NTFS installed to enable read/write to external NTFS drives.
    Thanks.

    I've tried 2 Anker 10 port hubs with my brand new iMac 27" Retina.  No storage device is recognized when connected via the hub.  The same storage devices are recognized when I plug directly into my iMac.  So there seems to be an issue from the iMac to the hub.

  • New imac doesn't recognize firewire 400

    Just got the new imac and transferred all data from my old (non-intel) imac using a firewire 400-to-800 adapter.
    Now, my new imac doesn't recognize my external (400 firewire) drives anymore. One of the drives has an USB which works with the new mac but transfers are very vey slow. The other drive has only firewire 400 and doesn't get recognized at all.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks.

    Adapters can be troublesome, I'd recommend replacing with a Firewire 400 to 800 cable like this one. You can normally find these at your local computer store, Radio Shack or of course Amazon.

  • I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) Now have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but won't accept serial number

    Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) along with prior Photoshop versions. Now I have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but it won't accept my original serial number (Starts with PSW401, etc.).

    I know what you are saying. I had purchased the CS5.5 upgrade, and a week later got the CS6 upgrade. I did this back in 2012. I had a old Mac Power PC which does not allow you to install CS5.5 or CS6 because it was not an intel processor. So even though I had the upgrades I never installed them. I waited until my old MAC died which it did this past weekend. And now that I have a new iMac I tried to install the new software. All of my past upgrades referenced my original Photoshop that was still resident on my old Mac. But since the install no longer has that reference because of the new computer, it will not accept any of my past serial numbers that it needs for the install.
