Streaming games from imac osx10.4 to tv

Bought new imac, love it (09/07). Bought my daughter a couple of imac games for Christmas, any way to stream them to a tv, even by cables? (Games were Diner Dash and Guitar Hero III). Hope you all have a great Holiday Season.

no, video data cannot be transmitted to a monitor/tv using ethernet, usb, or firewire. only a vga/dvi cable can be used, and even at that i don't think an imac has an external vga/dvi port anyway.

Thank you for the answer, but airfoil is pay-software. on ipad and iphone there´s airplay for allmost every application - without extra payment.
i wonder, why apple provides airplay only for mobile-devices.

Streaming MOG from iMac to AppleTV

I signed up for MOG audio streaming and currently play it through the iMAC speakers, however, I have a sound system with HDMI connection sitting in the same room. If I purchase AppleTV and connect it to my wired network (gigabit) and HDMI to my sound system, will I be able listen to audio through my audio without sacrificing sound quality due to AppleTV solution regardless what the input source is?
In other words, is AppleTV a suitable solution for music playing from iMAC via external sound system?
Thanks.
-AP_

I checked again and I have activated both the
- AppleTv (Settings > Airtunes: On) and
- iTunes (8.0.2) (Preferences > Devices > Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes: On)
but nothing happened. Still I cannot see that box on the bottom right of the iTunes window. Maybe a restart of both devices would help... No other clue

Airport Express streams Airplay from iMac but not from Windows 7 PC

I have a wireless network set up using a Linksys WRT45G2 v1 router. There is one iMac running Snow Leopard, one laptop running 32 bit Windows 7 Ultimate and one desktop running 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. The router is set to WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES security. The Airport Express is set to WPA2 Personal. Its wireless mode is "join a wireless network." It is running firmware version 6.3. The iMac and the laptop are running iTunes 9 and the desktop is running iTunes 10.
Up until recently I was able to stream music from the iMac and the desktop but not the laptop to remote speakers using airtunes via the airport express. Then the video processor in my desktop PC failed and in the course of diagnostic testing I had to reinstall the OS. After replacing the video card and reinstalling the OS, I tried to reconnect Airport Express to iTunes on the desktop PC but Airport Utility could not find the Airport Express. I returned the Airport Express to factory settings and tried again. The PC still did not recognize the Airport Express. I couldn't use the PC to reconfigure the Airport Express, but the iMac did see it so I reconfigured the Airport Express using the iMac. Now I can stream music using Airport Express from the iMac ONLY.
When I use the Airport Utility to scan on the desktop or the laptop PCs it does not see the Airport Express. I can, however, see the Airport Express and read its configuration using Airport Utility on both PCs by using "configure other..." under the File tab (i.e. by typing in the IP number and password for the Airport Express.) Even though I can read the configuration and save it, iTunes does not recognize any remote speakers and I cannot stream music from either PC.
I have tried turning off ALL wireless security as well as all firewalls. I also tried both iTunes 9 and iTunes 10 on the desktop. Nothing makes any difference.
Before I could at least stream from desktop even though I had never been able to get the laptop to stream.
Can anyone suggest a way to get Airtunes (Airplay) to work from my PCs?

I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
This worked for me.
Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
Then search services from start bar
Open services and filter by manufacturer
Stoop all macafee services
Right click the start bar
Open task manager
Stop all macafee processes
Try your airport utility you should now see your express
If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
Hope this helps

Apple TV disconnects when streaming video from iMac.

I am using my Apple TV to stream video from my iMac to my TV using AirPlay display. Every 5 minutes or so, it disconnects. The video freezes on the TV but will continue playing on the iMac. Then after a few seconds it disconnects completely and the apple TV will return to the menu screen and I then have to reconnect. I also have noticed that it only disconnects when streaming video. I'm able to use the Airplay to display what's on my computer screen and it works fine without disconnecting. I have no issues with the connectivity of my internet, there is always a full signal. I've been searching for answers on this and have found similar issues have happened to other users but none of the suggestions have worked so far.
Very frustrated... please help!

Can ATV2 stream directly from iMac/iPhone/iPad, w/o a wireless nework?

Out of curiosity, if I do not have a wireless network, or my wireless network is down, can I stream my itunes music files directly from an iMac, iPhone, or iPad directly to my ATV2 via Airplay, or must I have a wireless network established?
For example, we have a cabin in the mountains which does not have an internet connection, as none exists (outside of dial-up). As such, we do not have a wireless router because there is no need for one. Can I still stream music from my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or iPad to the ATV2, or must the ATV2 be connected to a wireless network?
If this is possible, how do I set it up?

You do not need an internet connection. I have no ethernet cable, and it is not necessary to have your iPhone tethered to the iMac. In fact, I use my ad-hoc network most of the time to stream only my iMovie projects, and iTunes, from my iMac to the ATV....with no connection to the internet. It's a stand-alone setup.
My ATV (1st generation, though...wonder if there is a difference here?) see's the network I created...with a strong signal. I'm about 30 feet away, and in a different room.
I have my ATV set up in iTunes to stream all movie content from my iMac.....(mainly slide shows created initially in iPhoto). As posted earlier, this has worked with no problem for about 3 years.
If I can provide additional info, please let me know. The only variable I see is ATV2...which may be significant....I'll provide screen shots if you think it's useful....

Easiest (and best) way to stream video from iMac to TV

All,
Trying to look for the highest quality, easiest & least expensive ways to get HD video from my iMac to my TV.
I could run wire - but that's sloppy, and a pain in the butt. Probably least expensive though.
Could get a Mac mini - but that's expensive.
Looking into getting a USB device (they sell them on TigerDirect.com) that beams the signal to a receiver - but they seem to be Windows based.
I do have a PS3 & XBOX360, and I know there are some programs out there to do this, but I've never been satisfied with the quality - major stalling or streaming issues gumming up the entertainment.
Can you folks weigh in with your tips, tricks or suggestions?
Thanks.

how about *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_ ?

how about an TV ? there should even be refurbished units available from your local Apple online store.

ITunes iCloud Match no longer streaming music from iMac?

I use match and icloud and very recently my itunes on my imac showed all the songs grey'd out. I can't play them from the imac, but I can as expected from my ipad and iphones. All of my library has been matched, but anything that points to icloud won't play on my imac any longer. For months this setup, which I followed from posts here worked great. Something recently has changed. Anything I double click on to play just selects it in a manner to allow editing the name. Clicking play does nothing. Other locally stored audio works fine, and streamed radio works fine.

Thanks for the input. Turning off match and back on, didn't help last time. But tonight I turned it off and logged out of iTunes and back into my apple id iTunes account. When i went to turn match back on, it asked me if I wanted to include this computer. Which is odd, but I did it, and now everything plays as expected and as it did before.
Thanks
quitting itunes and restarting didn't help
quitting match and restarting didn't help
quitting match and logging out of itunes and then logging back in and starting match again resolved.
Don Eccles - I double checked and Parental Controls didn't get turned on, but thanks for the idea.

Streaming Audio From iMac to your home stereo?

I've just learned from this forum that it is not possible to use the Motorola DC800 to use iTunes to stream wirelessly to my home stereo. Is there any solution to this, or do I have to drill a whole in my wall to run a cable??!!

if you can't use bluetooth then there are wifi devices such as apple's airport express unit that would allow you to do this...

itunes will stream direct to an airport express, other applications can also do this via a utility such as airfoil...

If my internet connection is 2.35 mbps download why am I getting , error stating not enough bandwidth to play my streaming games from Bigfish?

This happens no matter which of my browsers I am using.

If this is happening on every browser, then you should try to contact bigfish to see what the issue is.

Unable to stream Videos from Mac and IPad 3 to TV

My Apple TV (1.Generation) is starting to work bad after an update.
I am no longer able to stream videos from IMac nor IPad 3 or IPhone 4.
Can anybody give me a help.
Thanks.

Not sure if I'm missing something here. AirPlay is the newer audio video streaming technology Apple implemented into their devices. Airplay video from a computer requires a newer Mac running Mountian Lion and a 2G or higher ATV. Streaming video from iTunes to a 1G ATV still works, it is similar to AirPlay but is technically not the same thing.
Streaming video from an iPad or iPhone to an Apple TV is using AirPlay and also requires using a 2 or 3G ATV. These are hardware limitations no HDMI cable can fix.
If you can not stream video from iTunes by selecting it on your Apple TV you have a problem. If you are trying to send video to the ATV by selecting it on a device you need a new ATV and/or computer.

How do I only have photos from my iPhone stream to my iMac?

How do I only have photos from my iphone stream to my iMac? I just downloaded from my digital camera close to a 1,000 pictures from my vacation on to my iMac and they all streamed to my iPhone! I don't want all those pictures on my phone. Is there a way to only have the photo stream work in one direction?

Photos downloading to your iPhone usually come from Syncing with iTunes. Look in the iTunes sidebar, click on iPhone under devices (must be attached). Click on Photos tab across the top to review which Photos, albums, events etc are synced from iPhoto.
