Stream from Macbook Pro to AppleTV with no internet

Help, I have just moved temporarily to a house with no wireless internet access. I want to stream content from my Macbook Pro to my apple tv, but it doesnt show up on the AppleTVs computer choices. At my old place with an iMac sharing internet connection everything was fine. Do I need an internet connection to stream to ATV? What can I do to get the ATV adn Macbook pro to talk to each other.
Ive tried an ethernet cable between the two which is fine, except my itunes purchases wont copy because they cant authorize through the internet.

I suspect you need to configure the computer to 'create a network', then join the Apple TV to that network.

I think this problem will exist whether you have wireless connection between the ATV and the computer or not.

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

Airport Utility 5.6 will no longer read Airport Express Configuration; no longer able to stream from MacBook Pro

I have an old airport express ( 1st one ever I think) up until today I was able to use it with iTunes and also Airfoil to stream music. Today I cannot stream music from my MacBook Pro 2008 ( OS X 10.8.3) Airfoil sees the Airport Express but cannot connect, iTunes see it, but will not connect. When I try to connect with Airfoil the error message is "Airfoil was unable to connect to the remote speaker "little fish". Please check the remote speaker and try again."
iTunes just tries to connect and then times out.
I have AU 5.6 in order to use the old AE. It sees the AE and give me a summary page. But if I try "manual set up" or the "continue" button - I get "reading the Airport Express configuration" and then eventually "An error occured while reading the configurarion. Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753) "
I tried a soft reset, no help.
I tried a hard reset and I was able to see the new airport express and it allowed me to set it up again, then it restarted and everything was the same as before I reset.
I can stream to the Airport Express from my iPhone and my iPad
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.

Amazon Prime on TV using Apple TV streaming from MacBook Pro?

I know Apple TV has Netflix natively on it, but I am a member of Amazon Prime. Can I watch Amazon Prime movies using AppleTV via the streaming ability from my MacBook Pro?

You would have to use mirroring, which requires a Mac from 2011 (or later) and OSX 10.8 (or later)

Looking for app to stream from MacBook Pro to iPad

I am hoping soon to get one of the new iPads and would like to play movies stored on my MacBook Pro laptop and watch them on the iPad. What is best one and I dont mind paying for it.

It is a 2 part app-server on Mac, client on ios device.
It streams from any drive, folder on the Mac.
It does live conversion, so you can stream video regardless of format.
I have been using it for a couple years-it is excellent.

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.

Streaming from Macbook Pro and using it at the same time?

Haven't decided yet if I'm going to buy the Apple TV or not, and I still have a few questions in the back of my mind. The biggest one being if I am streaming a movie from my MacBook Pro, does it still function regularly as a laptop or do I have to stop using it during the duration of the stream? I like to be able to work and watch movies or TV at the same time, and this is going to be a big deciding factor if I get one or not. Can anyone help? Thanks!

if I am streaming a movie from my MacBook Pro, does it still function regularly as a laptop
It does indeed. In fact when you use it, you probably wont even notice your computer is streaming content to the Apple TV.

Snow on 30" ACD when running from MacBook Pro 2.4 with Leopard....HELP

OK I have tried to run a 30" ACD from a high res MacBook Pro and at first everything appears fine. But as time progresses snow effects start to appear on the large monitors screen. I am running the laptop with the monitor window closed so that everything is on the large monitor.
I had previouslt experienced this issue with my G5 tower and I had to resort to SwitchResX and run the monitor at 58Hz. This time however the graphics card in the MacBook Pro does not allow the refresh rate to be changed. Tried doing as a custom refresh rate and even that does not work.
Has anyone experienced such an issue when running a 30" ACD at max resolution?
What can I do to fix this?
Regards

I want to chime in as I'm having the same problem, although my hardware specs are slightly different... I'm running a 2.33Ghz 15" Macbook Pro with the ATI Radeon X1600 video card (256MB ram), running Leopard, with a brand new Dell 30" 3007WFP-HC monitor. (didn't have the LCD before I upgraded to Leopard, so don't know if the OS is a factor)
I see the snow appearing as horizontal one-pixel tall lines which appear alone or in a group of less than 10 appearing near each other on the screen - and it appears to be intermittent and only visible against black or very dark backgrounds. I tried the above suggestion and set the resolution down from the LCD's native, and wasn't seeing the interference, but switched it back and wasn't seeing it at native rez either. I'll have to try this rez switch the next time I see the interference, because it does not appear all the time.

Mirroring from MacBook Pro to ATV, with the use of a VPN: Netflix no longer working

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I cannot mirror Netflix from my MacBook Pro to my ATV. I would use the Netflix on the ATV however I currently live in China and need to use a VPN. Mirroring works for Safari, Itunes and all other programs except for Netflix. The error message is ensure your monitor is HDCP compliant and is not mirrored using Airplay.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

I believe so. I was able to to mirror netflix through the use of VPN prior to the Yosemite upgrade.

Streaming from MacBook Pro to iPhone

Hello,
I am trying to plug my iphone into the dock attached to my stereo and sit at my MacBook Pro and play music to the iPhone remotely. I understand that Home Sharing allows me to access the library on my laptop, but I have to be holding the iPhone, which defeats the purpose.
I know I cold do this via an Apple TV, but I don't have one yet. Does anyone know how I could do this?
Thank you!

Nada, no te marees, yo ya he decidido esperar y llamar de vez cuando para recordarles el problema.
Los operadores nos tratan como si no supiésemos nada, que está bien supongo para quien no tenga ni idea o para gente más mayor, pero tendrían que saber diferenciar a quien llama con un poco mas de conocimiento en el tema.
Créeme he hecho todo lo que me han dicho, aún sabiendo que no funcionaría, solo me ha quedado ponerme el teléfono en la cabeza y saltar a la pata coja, pero nada sirve.
Estoy casi convencido que es un problema de ellos y sus servidores (o lo que sea que controla el flujo de datos de Photostream y las copias de seguridad en iCloud) y está afectando a muchos usuarios Españoles, tengo amigos con el mismo problema y a todos nos une lo mismo iOS 6, Photostream y vivir en España. No he leído en este foro quejas por nuestro problema de gente que no sea de nuestro territorio y si te fijas aquí a la mínima hay un tema abierto.
Atar cabos no es difícil y una de las operadoras ya me dijo que no era la primera llamada con el mismo problema, por lo que me pregunto que si yo he llegado a esa conclusión y no trabajo en Apple ¿porque no llegan ellos? Supongo que tienen un guión delante y tienen que seguirlo. Poner en duda un error en el sistema de su empresa supondría trabajar demasiado.
Espero que lo solucionen pronto, no me va la vida en ello (mientras Apple no me ponga en Streaming el ventolín del Asma), pero la verdad es que fastidia.
Saludos!

Mail from Macbook Pro not syncing with iPhone

I am trying to set up my Mail account (which is set with Gmail) from my computer to sync with my iPhone. Unfortunately the iPhone goes is synced with Gmail and says that I have over 2000 emails. How can I get my iPhone to sync with my Mail app from my computer?
Also, I have deleted the account from my iPhone, but it still shows up on my iTunes. When I sync the iPhone, the mail settings are put back into my iPhone. How can I erase the gmail settings from my iTunes?
Thanks for your help.

You don't sync account mailboxes and messages with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account via the iTunes sync process. You can transfer account setup info only from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
Using the iPhone's mail client to access an email account is no different from using the Mail.app on your Mac for accessing the account. With a POP account, new messages recieved at the incoming mail server are downloaded, and when accessing a POP account with a new email client for the first time, all messages that remain at the incoming mail served for the account will be downloaded as new messages, since the new email client being used has never accessed the account - in this case, with the iPhone's mail client.
With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
You deselect transferring the account settings for this account from your computer to your iPhone at the same place where you selected this - under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

Slow photo streaming from Macbook Pro to new Ipad

How is it that I can stream 1000 photos in minutes with a Mac Book Pro to an Iphone but it's literally taking all day to stream less tha 300 pictures from a mac book to the new Ipad?
Anyone have any comments on this?

I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with the file, just that when you compare performance to other things you stream, you need to remember it probably uses 2 to 3 times the bandwidth on your network.
Have you looked for 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.

Sorry, Sonicray, but that doesn't answer the question.
The answer is, you need Mountain Lion.

Last week, I had no problems streaming my MacBook Pro to my sony Bravia with a logix hdmi cable. I came back from holidays and now it doesn't work anymore. What settings should my computer be on and what settings should my tv be on?

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.
