Stream my TV to my Imac

We need a tv in our kitchen, instead of running my 55" led with PS3 and Bell, I would like to stream that to my 27" imac that is in my kitchen so I don't have to have a small tv AND my Imac.
Is this possible to do and maybe that would be something to get Aplle tv to do, stream from and to the tv.
If this is possible it would be great and get more bang for my buck from my Imac and save the usage of my big screen. Its nice to watch the news while we have supper since we already pay for tv and the free tv isn't the same as the bell.

You may want to visit www.elgato.com, they make many devics for diplaying TV content on your computer.

  • When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    No problem.
    This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
    You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

  • Are photos in photo stream automatically saved to my iMac hard drive?

    are photos in my photo stream automatically saved to my iMac hard drive?

    Photostream is a temporary storage area for photos. There is a maximum number of photos that you can keep in your photo stream and there is a time limit as well. But on your Mac you can normally view your PhotoStream photos in iPhoto and copy them to albums on your Mac. Don't expect photos to remain in your PhotoStream permanently.

  • In activating Photo Stream in iPhoto on my iMac, I followed the instructions up to this point:  Click Turn On Photo Stream (on the right).  There is nothing on the right.  So, how do I now turn on Photo Stream?

  • HT204291 Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.

    You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display.  I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
    Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities.  It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
    Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction.

  • How do i stream Brawo films to my imac

    I have found the following site Brawo.com and it allows me to stream and watch films free of charge on my ipad, this is graet when im out and about but when i tried on my imac at home it doesnt seem to allow me too. I can watch a trailer of some films but thats it...any ideas...

    On the Mac anyway, they seem to use Flash, is that disabled on your Browser?

  • Not clear about My Photo Stream, Camera Roll, transfer into iMac.

    When I transfer into iMac using wi-fi /iCloud, some of the photos are missing in Camera Roll (iPad) and iPhoto (iMac), usually the photos I want to keep, use and post.
    They are there in Photo stream still. To get them I email them on or send to Facebook. Why?

  • Can I stream video from iPad to iMac?

    Hi,
    can i stream video (movies) from iPad to my iMac?
    Thanks

    There are ways to stream media from your Mac to your iPad, but I do not know of a method to go iPad to Mac.
    Boxee is rumored to be preparing an app for iPad that may do that, but I have not heard that it is out.

  • Can XM radio be streamed though Itunes on an Imac?

    Can XM radio be streamed though Itunes on a mac and/ or streamed though my IMAC so I can stream it though Apple TV?

    Greetings,
    I am doing something very similar, I hope it's fine to bump this already existing topic.
    I have an Imac g4, 1.ghz model.  I was thinking about putting all of my media on the imac and then using an apple tv to stream it.  I am not sure if the apple tv is capable of pulling hd quality video from the imac g4 when the imac itself cannot play the hd video.  Does the apple tv just pull data or is the data being transcoded by the host machine?

  • Netflix streaming awful on BRAND NEW iMac 21.5"?!?

    Just got the new iMac 21.5", trying to stream Netflix content for the first time—on both Firefox AND Safari, the streaming is slow/choppy, and the resolution is awful...might as well be watching it on the pre-Intel Mac I just replaced. Internet is via TWCable, with my Brand New Apple time capsule as the wifi intermediary. Talked with Netflix and everything is set to optimum as far as they're concemed.
    What is going on??? I expected so much from finally getting the latest, "state of the art" iMac!?

    I have a 2010 MBP so I'm not well versed in the new iMac hardware, but is there a discrete AND integrated video card?
    I'm trying to hunt down the choppy Netflix problem on my machine as well, and I just noticed something.  If you have Firefox streaming a Netflix show (for the sake of consistency, try House of Cards so it'll stream in HD as well) is it choppy even before going fullscreen?  If so, try clicking on your desktop (just to take focus off of Firefox), does the choppiness continue?
    For me I've found that as long as Firefox is NOT the application in the foreground, the video plays smoothly.  This leads me to think that it's some plug-in/add-on that Firefox is running that's ramping up CPU when it's in focus and expecting user input of some sort.
    Anyway, I know that wasn't an answer, but hopefully it can help narrow down our search for one.  Seems like a lot of people are having these Netflix + Silverlight + OSX issues.

  • Itunes will not stream to airport express from iMac. It will work from and HP laptop any reason why?

    Problem with Itunes on the iMac. I bought airport express to setream music to my stereo. When I set it up  on the iMac (using an ethernet connection) it dropped my internet connection on the router. When I use the Wifi  it just times out. I tried using the airport express from my laptop, it worked just fine. I called apple for support and they  have not beeen able to help, and I am now 79 dollars in the hole because they suggested I call cisco. I have also spent 6 hours on the phone. any Help would be appreciated.

    I got it to work. Turns out there are a few steps that should be taken during the install of ariport express. We have 4 users on our iMac, one being the Administrator, one a guest, and 2 users. After I closed all the applications for each users and logged them off, I was able to connect sucessfully to Airport Express and stream music to my Stereo. Seams simple, but someting we did not look at in my 6 hour marathon yesterday trying to find the reason it did not work.

  • Photo stream not being deleted on iMac

    When I delete a picture on OS devices photostream it is being deleted on all devices EXCEPT on my imac photostream. Photostream is enabled on iMac using Mavericks.  Any ideas???
    thanks

    It is deleted from PhotoStream on you Mac - it is NOT deleted from the event you automatically import it into based on your iPhoto preference settings - once the photo is in an event it is part of iPhoto and independent of the source

    Here is the site

    Anyone have any help to get this to work?

    Looks like the file is being served from someone's home computer (note the router address) in the URL:

    If the machine isn't powered up or the server software not active there is nothing a viewer can do.
