Airplay with macbook air

How do you use airplay for apple tv using a macbook air

Your MacBook Air must be from Mid-2011 or later. If it is, then you also need to upgrade your OS to Mountain Lion, 10.8.

Apple TV 7.0.2 Airplay with MacBook PRO OS X 10.10.1 is not working.

Apple TV 7.0.2 Airplay with MacBook PRO OS X 10.10.1 is not working, I have validated all settings and rebooted all systems (per Apple recommendation) and still not working what seems to be the issue?

You need to upgrade your OS. It's your responsibility to verify if your equipment meets the system requirements, not the Apple Store.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

Airplay on MacBook Air

I DON'T HAVE AN APPLE TV
WHAT I HAVE ARE
1. MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012)
2. iPhone 5
     Model = MD297HN/A
     Version = 6.1.4 (10B350)
I have a broadband connection with a wifi Modem to which I connect both my devices.
I want to see the iPhone mobile screen on the Mac
What I do:
1. I log on to the wifi router from my iPhone
2. I logn on to the wifi router from MacBookAir
WHAT HAPPENS
@ iPhone: AT TIMES THE IPHONE SHOWS THE "Airplay" icon when the home button is pressed. (THIS IS ANYWAY ARBITRARY. I TRIED DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS AND COULD NOT DEDUCE WHEN IT SHOWS AND WHEN NOT "EVEN WHEN IT IS SEAMLESSLY CONNECTED TO THE ROUTER AND LIVE ON INTERNET"
@ MacBookAir: Does not show the "Airplay" icon in the menu bar NOR in itunes.
MY QUESTION:
EVEN AS I AM HAVING AN iPhone AND A MacBook Air WHICH ACCORDING TO APPLE WEBSITE CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH "AirPlay" WHY AM I NOT ABLE TO DO IT?
NOTE: THIS IS WHAT "APPLE SUPPORT " WEBSITE TOLD ME
Requirements for AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
An Apple TV
Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) with software update v5.0 or later. See How to update Apple TV software.
Supported MacsAirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
Which Mac do I have?
A network
AirPlay Mirroring requires either a Wi-Fi (802.11 a/g/n) connection or an Ethernet connection to the same local network that your Apple TV uses.
HUMBLE REQUEST   With the information given above, experts are humbly requested not to ask me
1. What is your Apple TV Model (I don't have one)
2. Are you connected to the same router on both the device (expalined above)
3. Have you checked whether the devices are compatible (Apple support tells me they are, as above)
4. You have to slide past the music play buttons beyond the "portrait lock screen icon" to see the Airplay button (All that and more have already been done.)
5. Look at the iTune screen on your MacBook Air to see the Airplay (I have already clarified these above)
The problem is very serious. If I am not able to MIRROR MY IPHONE SCREEN ON TO MY MACBOOKAIR in spite of having devices as per Apple specifications, and performing as per Apple instructions, then Apple is cheating me.

In order to stream into a local radio station, I would need to install Silverlight. Is this compatible with MacBook Air?

Is Silverlight compatible with MacBook Air and is it OK to install? I am trying to stream into radio station and cannot, I'm told, w/o installing Silverlight. Please advise. Thank you.

Hey!

You want to stream into a radio station?
Like broadcasting signals from you mac to a radio station?
Or do you want to lisen to radio on you MacBook Air?
If you want to stream online radio stations on your Macbook Air, it is sevral options.
1) You can download a app from App Store
2) Stream online radio from your web browser ( cud be that some websites tell you that you need Silverlight plugin)
3) You can add an radio station to an iTunes playlist (needs a few steps before you have it in playlist)

HT201343 Can I use Air Play mirroring if my Macbook Air is from Late 2010 (I have Apple Tv).

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

Remote with macbook air

can apple remote using with macbook air?

No you cannot use it as the new Air does not have an IR port.
So we have a great notebook, very slim and light - perfect for presentations. It just does not support the remote anymore - what a stupid decision!!!
You might recommend to buy a third party product which works with bluetooth. When doing so, you forget the following:
The original Apple Remote has a GREAT feature. You can pause a movie or flash animation which is placed into a slide at any time by pushing the PAUSE button. This is extremely helpful to explain something which is happening in your animation. This feature is gone now and this is a shame.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
Thank you!!!

Pair apple remote with macbook air, pair apple remote with macbook air

can any one please tell me how to pair apple remote control with macbook Air ????

now, I had the same issue
solved it by transforming my phone (Nokia 2700 c ) into a bluetooth remote
see this pages:
http://www.salling.com/Clicker/mac/devices.php
http://torrentsmd.com/forum.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=87892828&page=p11032817 #11032817
search in the list if the phone you have is compatible, then install the little program and you may even have a remote MOUSE by just clicking it on your phone
PS. even if it yoru phone is not in the list there is a big chance that it will work, (mine wasnt in the list and it works like a charm) it is based on java if I understand corectly and most of the phones understand that programing language.

I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air. How do I do that?

I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air. Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too). I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me. If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:

Possibility to share PS3 optical drive with Macbook Air (2012)

Hello guys,
Can anyone with solid experience on connecting PS3 and MBA tell me if it is possible to use PS3 optical drive with MacBook Air (2012)?
Thanks in advance for the help,

if you mean can the appletv connect to an optical drive remotely then the answer is no.

Just bought a Macbook Air. I does not appear to be compatible with my LCD projector. What LCD projectors work best with MacBook Air?

My Cannon LCD LV-7210 projector does not recognize my Macbook Air nor does my Macbook Air recognize it is attached to an LCD projector. Yes, I do have the proper adapter.
What LCD projectors work best with Macbook Air? Does this LCD projector have auto-detect for computer?
Thanks!

I've just purchased a *27in (aluminium case) LCD Cinema Display* and am using it with my MacBook Pro, linked by the supplied three-jack cable (Mini DVI display jack).
The 27" display uses Mini DisplayPort, not Mini DVI.
But I also have *a white-cased MacBook (purchased in 2008) which has an older type of display socket*, certainly not compatible with the Mini DVI type.
The early Mac Book uses Mini DVI.
1. Is there a cable or adaptor available to link my older MacBook to the Cinema Display? Nothing in the online store looks 'right'
No. Mini DVI is single-link, and does not support the resolution needed for the 27" display.

Apple tv won't pair with macbook air

Apple TV 2 - trying to get it to pair with macbook air using bluetooth: The Apple TV continues to search with the spinning thing; the macbook air shows that it sees the apple tv, displays the 6 digit code that apple tv should then also display, but the apple tv just continues to search. After a few minutes, the macbook air returns a pairing failed statement. I've tried several times. I have rebooted both. Macbook air is now running OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Apple TV is showing version 7.0 (6897.5). Oh, I'm sitting 6 ft from the apple tv, but I moved to within 24 in and still same failure. Any help would be welcome. Thanks

As follow up, and for what it may be worth(likely not much), I talked to a staffer at an Apple Store the other day about this. He said this capability is meant for, and can only be used with a dedicated bluetooth keyboard. I tried this when I returned home, as my desktop iMac uses a bluetooth KB. I "unconnected" the KB from the iMac, then took it to the other room in an attempt to establish the bluetooth connection to the ATV. Still no success. And as I was attempting this, I realized that, with using the KB only, that is, no "attached screen" as with the Macbook air, I could not see how I could make a connection, because when I had previously tried to connect my Macbook Air, the Air screen was showing that it was attempting to pair with the ATV, and it displayed a 6 digit code that then was supposed to also be displayed on the TV screen attached to the ATV. If I continued to attempt to pair the dedicated KB only, how would this dedicated KB "with no screen" display a 6 digit code? So the mystery continues.

Cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

Can older charger be used with MacBook Air?

Can older charger be used with MacBook Air? Charger with cylindrical magnetic male end was lost. Charger for older white plastic MacBook is available, but is it safe to use with MacBook Air.

You have to use the right power adapter.
You can order one from Apple store.
