Project iMac Screen to Apple TV?

Does the old Apple TV have the ability to receive screen projections or streaming from my iMac to then be seen on my TV?

Does the old Apple TV have the ability to receive screen projections or streaming from my iMac to then be seen on my TV?
Sure... If you
1) Capture the screen projector and/or streaming content,
2) convert it in an TV compatible compression format,
3) add it to iTunes for management,
4) and sync or serve it to the TV just lake any other content.
There are no shortcuts here. If you want to watch/mirror your iMac screen to a TV then wire the iMac's video output directly to a compatible TV.

  • Projecting Computer Screen onto Apple TV

    I have a mac mini and I'd like to project the computer screen onto my tv. Can I do this through Apple TV?

    Hi.
    Yes, you can display your Mac mini computer screen on your television with AirPlay Mirroring and an Apple TV.
    Your Mac mini must be a mid-2011 or newer model and running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    The Apple TV (2nd/3rd gen) must be running software update 5.0 or later.
    I hope this is helpful.

  • When start IMac screen is white with no spiral and no apple logo

    Why is my  Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8 IMac screen all white when I turn it on?  There is no spiral and no Apple logo and the desktop does not appear.  The screen is just white.
    Prior to this, we had a wind storm in our area with some power glitches today.  After one of them, the dock items disappeared and just the wallpaper was there. The colored spinner began going around when I clicked on the mouse but nothing was happening.   I unplugged it to try to reset it, but now the screen comes up all white, there's no apple logo that appears at start up and that's it.  Now what should I do?

    Hello kathy15945,

  • Can I mirror what's on my iMac screen to the Apple TV?

    I'm thinking about buying an Apple TV but I want to know if I will be able to mirror what's on my iMac screen to my TV in the living room. (Ex: show a webpage on my tv.)
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, you can't currently do that from your mac/pc, without resorting to 3rd party software which is so unstable I wouldn't wish to recommend it.

    Reinstall OS X:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive

Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
