Playing video from Mac Book on TV

I am wanting to hook my Mac Book Pro to my tv to play a video. How do I go about this?

do you have an APPLETv?   Best "upgrade" to any Apple MAC is get an Apple TV,........ after that, try for free the program called BEAMER  , its $15 and the ONLY reliable app for beaming all VID formats to you AppleTV hooked to your TV, .....i cant live without  it
most wifi video to AppleTV have audio sync. problems, or cause your computer to basically slown down , but not BEAMER, look into it, free 30 day free trial.
you just drag and drop ANY video ANY format into beamer, and boom, its on your TV.

  • How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.

  • Play video from external HD to Apple TV

    I would like to play videos from an external drive to the Apple TV.
    The workarounds I've seen all involve moving the entire iTunes library to the external drive. I want to keep all my music on the internal HD but the videos on the external HD.
    Suggestions?

    Launch iTunes on your computer
    Mac - iTunes > Preferences > Advanced
    PC - Edit > Preferences > Advanced
    Uncheck 'Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library'
    This will allow you to drag and drop videos from the external drive to iTunes without copying to the internal drive. Once in iTunes you should be able to watch them on your Apple TV
    Hope that helps

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

    Hi .
    Make sure your OS X software is up to date.
    Click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
    Or, open System Preferences > App Store > Check Now
    If your Mac is up to date, most news websites require Flash.
    Back to System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.

  • Playing video from a capture device - Out of memory for video buffers?

    Hello guys, I'm having problems playing video from a video capture device when not using JMStudio. When I use JMStudio, the video plays real time with no problems, but when I use code taken from a java book which is a simple Media Player, I get the following error:
    "Error is Error: Out of memory for video buffers."
    My capture device is working and I don't know why i get this error when trying to watch the video feed from a program other than JMStudio. I also tried different code that has worked in the past with the same exact capture device and I still get the same error. Please help, I have no clue at this point. The code for the simple media player is below, it's taken out of the book "Java: How to Program (4th edition)":
    Thanks in advance, I am very greatful
    Miguel
    device info: vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0
    When I type the locator, I am typing vfw://0, I also tried just vfw://
    and I get the same error.

  • I want to use my I Pad mini to play videos from my Gopro Hero HD camera and also to use as a monitor if possible?

    I want to use my I Pad mini to play videos from my Gopro Hero HD camera and also to use as a monitor if possible? What software would i need to use ? I movie is what i use with my I Mac not sure if this will work on I Pad Mini?

    At first I thought that this solved my problem, but alas it didn't. It does appear to add display area for your computer or to suplement it. But it is not a view screen for your Mini. I guess I will just have to live on with my monitor and use my Ipad and the "remote" app to run Itunes.
    Once I have the system all set up, I could use the display but I don't know why I would. Thanks for your help.

  • How to play youtube from MAC to apple tv

    How do I play youtube from MAC to apple tv?

    In short, you cant. Older macs dont support airplay to apple tv's due to hardware restrictions. To do so you need a mac thats around mid 2011 or newer.
    However goolge Airparrot as there is a $10 app that you can purchase that enables compatabilty with older macs. I have never used it, and there are some performance issues on older machines. It will eat your processor performance and some macs may have choppy video results.
    As a note the reason only newer macs are airplay compatible is because their GPU's have onboard H.264 encoding capabilties that airplay uses, whereas older macs dont so using airparrot relies on the processor to do the encoding.

    The iPad is fine.  But the computer you're syncing with needs to be authorised with the Apple ID that was used to buy the material on the iPad.  You do this by picking the 'Authorize' item from the menu in iTunes and entering the account name and password.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How can i stream video from mac os x 10 using roku to my tv?

    how can i stream video from mac os x 10 using roku to my tv?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X can't write in NTFS disks. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party app like Paragon for NTFS, being this application the best one to write in those disks.
    Another option is to format the external disk in FAT32 or exFAT on a PC, so you will be able to read and write in Macs and PCs without having to use third-party apps. Do it on a PC and copy the files of your external drive to the internal disk first
