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!

It does indeed. In fact when you use it, you probably wont even notice your computer is streaming content to the Apple TV.

  • I have Windows 7, 64 bit, and I am using iTunes 11.0.1.12. I have been all through the threads and internet..how do I delete songs from my iTunes and hard drive at the same time? I have my music in the correct iTunes folder. Nothing works.

    Windows 7 64 bit
    iTunes 11.0.1.12
    I have my music in the correct iTunes folder
    In iTunes, I select songs, click "delete", then "move to recycle bin", finally, empty my recycle bin that shows the file is there
    File is still on my hard drive.
    I just want to be able to delete files out of my library and off of my hard drive at the same time. I have tried everything I have read, and there really seems to be no real answer. Somebody please help!

    i do, but like i said it fell once and since then it hasn't been able to connect to my laptop. it acts like nothing's connected. i believe if i call the company the HDD is from they'll be able to transfer it to a new one but who knows how much they'd charge. looks like i have no choice now.
    If it were truly a backup, then the media would play on the laptop as it would be on the laptop.
    Sounds like you actually do not have a backup, instead you chose to keep your media on an external drive.
    Regardless of where the media is stored, it's always a good idea to have a backup for instances like this.

  • Acquiring data from daq-pad and saving video at the same time

    I am trying to record data from my daq-pad at 100 samples per second. At the same time I am using a usb interfaced camera to record a video feed. The idea is that when i begin recording data i also begin recording the video feed.
    The way I record the video  feed works fine in its own VI (I need it to record at 30fps and it does this just fine). But when I integrate it with the data record/capture VI the framing rate slows down to only 10 fps. I suspect this is because the VI  gets caught capturing the data from the daq-pad thus slowing down its ability to record the video feed. I was hoping you could give me some help with how to record the data at 100 samples per second and get the VI to capture 30 frames per second. Thanks in advance for anyone who helps out.
    I've attached the VI that has both the data capture and the video capture already integrated.

    Hi,
    I took a look at your code and the problem is that you have both the data acquistion and the image acquistion in the same loop.  Have you tried using parellel loops?  There is more information about this in the labview tutorials that are available online if you are unsure how to do that.  The problem is that you are doing a lot of things in that loop (acquiring data, doing some analysis, and writing to file), so you can't acquire images very fast because it depends on the speed of the loop iteration.  I hope this helps.
    Have a great day,
    GG

  • Process audio and use midi at the same time?

    I would like to use Mainstage to process my vibraphone and acoustic percussion while also using software instruments with a MalletKat and audio playback for backing tracks all at the same time. Is this possible? I have a 17" Mac Book Pro with 4 GB Ram and 2.66 speed.

    Absolutely....
    Create audio channels for the "live stuff", Instrument channels for the MIDI stuff, and use Playback for the backing tracks.

  • My IPod Touch 4th gen won't charge unless its off when it's on it won't even recognize the charger or indicate it's charging please help me figure out so I can charge and use it at the same time

    Help would be appreciated

    The charger yo are using does not supply enough power to both charge the iPod and power a working iPod at the same times.
    Not the wall you plug the wall charger into if you are using a wall charger.
    Have you tried another charging source?
    I would also try another cable.
    Further
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Direct ethernet to NAS and using wireless at the same time

    Hello,
    I just picked up a Synology DS211 NAS and have been using my roommates' wireless router to connect to my 15" MBP unibody (OSX 10.6.5) and it's been working just fine but I need a faster connection to the NAS for the work that I do. I successfully got the NAS to connect directly to the MBP through ethernet but I lost my wireless connection to the router. I can't seem to get both to work at the same time and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
    Cheers,
    Dylan

    Don't mean to nitpick but just for those who may get confused that you do not typically want to change the subnet mask. I think what you are referring to is the IPv4 address, but what you are doing by changing the IP address you are creating a static IP address.
    If you were changing the subnet you would be changing the one that appears as 255.255.252.0, you can change these settings to have certain computers to connect to different groups, a commonly used way to organize computers on larger networks.
    Sorry just wanted to clarify, you want to create a "static IP address."

  • Why do my MacBook Pro and my PC have the same IP address?

    I wanted to use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to my PC, but I can't because they both have the same exact IP address. Everyone keeps saying that this is impossible, but when I go to ipchicken.com from both computers, the same exct ip address is there. How do I change this?

    Sure it can be assigned by DHCP. If trying to access from the internet he would need to forward port 3389 to a specific IP. Most routers today have static assignment by MAC address through the DHCP server. So all devices will get the same private IP on the LAN when turned on but still have DHCP enabled for when they are take away from one LAN and connected to another.
    Setting static IPs on computers is very old school and today isn't really need IF you have a router that can assign IP by MAC address.
    But to the OP original question. It is my opinion he is trying to connect to his Win PC across his LAN and doesn't know that you have to check the IP address on the computers. Not through a web page on the internet. Otherwise he would of realized that the IP he was getting was for the WAN port of his router.

  • How do I stream music to Appletv and airplay speaker at the same time?

    Hello- new here.  I just set up my new airplay speaker.  I currently have appletv connected to my stereo receiver.  How do I stream music to both appletv and the airplay speaker?  I seem to only get the option to choose one or the other?

    That's normal - remember it's a limited portable device.
    You could Airplay from iTunes to both using multiple speaker mode (or download Remote app and control itunes and multiple speakers using that in teh palm of your hand).

  • Any ideas how to play iPad music via tv and use ipad at the same time?

    I am using ArkMC app to play music from my iPad on my sony bravia tv. But when I come out of the app to say use safari, the music stops streaming. I really want to play music and use my iPad together. Any ideas?.

    the app have to support background play or when one move on it will stop playing
    if you use an appletv you can use airplay but it will not just play the music it will play any sound your ipad would otherwise play so if you start the music and expect to be able to play a game on the ipad while the music play you will be disappointed

  • Can't play DVD and use Spotlight at the same time.

    I have been running in to all sorts of problems while playing a DVD. I have TV shows on DVD, so I watch them while I work. Everytime I have one playing and I open Spotlight to search for something my PB begins making this very loud noise. I don't know if it is my DVD player or something else, but as soon as I delete what is was I was searching for in Sportlight, it stops. It really bugs hearing this noise, because it sounds like something is wrong. If anybody can help, that would be great.

    Oh sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear.
    I have noticed that when you ask the optical drive to do one thing, it spins perfectly well and does what it is supposed to.
    If however you ask it do a second thing while it is still doing the first, then the laser skips between the two jobs and sounds strange.
    So... If you had a dvd or cd with 2 large files on it and
    a) Selected BOTH files together and copied them to the desktop, the drive would spin fast and transfer the files.
    b) Selected one file to copy and started the transfer to the desktop, THEN while the first was copying, selected a SECOND file from the DVD and started copying that, you would find the laser skipping between the two jobs.
    I thought that if you do this, and it is the same as what happens when watching a dvd and using spotlight, then it could be that spotlight is indexing the dvd while it is playing and the drive is therefore trying to do two things at once.
    I hope that helps.

  • Can't print to ethernet and use airport at the same time

    I have a Kyocera 6950 printer connected to my Powerbook via ethernet, this works fine (using bonjour). However as soon as I switch airport on and connect to a wireless network, jobs no longer goes to the printer and the Powerbook reports it can't find the printer.
    So far I have tried:
    1. changing the service order in the network control panel
    2. deleting the printer and re-creating it, I can see the printer (via bonjour) and re-create it, but still not print to it.
    This has happened at several different locations, anybody else had this or got any ideas. The problem started with Snow Leopard
    Many thanks
    Regards
    Dave Hage

    Thanks Greg,
    I was wondering if maybe it needed to be on another subnet but there seems little information regarding setting up PostScript printers on ethernet and it was very late so I'd given up messing around with it all last night. I've got most addresses set manually, apart from Airport which is assigned by the router with different addresses permanently allocated to different computers etc. Not to worry! I have a Time Capsule to set up with my new Mac and will try with the printer attached to that. The silly thing is that it works fine with Airport switched on when attached to my older Mac Mini running Leopard, both direct through that computer or accessed from another one.
    Can't have printers attached to my router as there's no room for them in the hallway where the router is connected to the internet. Some experimentation is in order now I think!

  • Cant add files and use itunes at the same time?

    I am totally confused as to why Itunes is Frozen when im adding files. I usually manually add my music to itunes myself. I figured why not take advantage and just have it do it for me. Now i cant play or pause the music as its doing this. The main problem is that the folder of music that i added, has all my itunes files on that drive in that folder. Is it going to add everything i have twice now? its telling me new versions of apps are available. I have 600+ apps. Im starting to realise that there is no work around for this. perhaps this belongs in a suggestion thread. sorry for ranting. delete this post its looking like i have to force itunes closed and ruin everything that i have organised so i dont have to tell itunes 600 times that i dont want to find the new version of an app. I've already been fooled into recrediting all my downloads because Everyone wanted to play stupid on the phone. GOD HELP ME!

    Say i finish clicing x 600 times. Is there a way to stop the music after it resumes searching my 111 gb of music. i dont want to play the same cd the whole time.
