Streaming media from Apple laptops or desktops to samsung smart TV wirelessly

I have got this samsung smart led 3d TV ue55 model. I am normally able to watch media (pictures & videos ) stored on my current acer laptop computer directly/wirelessly on the TV, via the wifi home network system. I am thinking of getting an apple desktop but tried the mac pro of a friends but could not find the apple product on the network system so as to be able to access media files on it
Any suggestions
Many thanks

Buy an AppleTV.

The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop? I want to be able to stream a video to my tv while browsing the internet or working on writing on my laptop. Thanks

You would have to use airplay within iTunes then, unless you want to use 3rd party software (ie Beamer)

When I stream videos from my laptop onto my Apple TV via my iPad 2 using the Air Video app/server the video plays great however when I pause the video the Apple TV reverts back to the home screen within a few seconds and then when I want to restart watching the video I have to re-buffer the video. Is there any way I can stop the Apple TV from reverting back to the home screen when I pause the video I’m watching?

Just set up an apple TV device to stream music from my laptop to my DAC then into my pre-amp. Set it up on the Tv but then unplugged it and plugged it into the DAC via a toslink cable. No output. The streaming icon is blue on menu bar. That right?

I've just set up an Apple TV device to try and stream audio from my laptop Pro to my DAC, then into my pre-amp. Set it up using the TV screen
but then disconnected it and plugged it into my DAC via a toslink cable. But no output. I don't need it for TV, just sound streaming.
The streaming icon is showing blue on the menu bar - is that correct? Any ideas? Thanks

Streaming media from wireless external hard drive and MBP to TV?

Hi everyone. I have a retina MBP and have recently bought a Sony Bravia smart tv with wireless. I have a time machine (the new one) with an external hard drive connected to it with all my media, photo, movies etc. My tv is connected to my wireless from the time machine and I'm wondering how do I stream media from my external hard drive to my tv? And how do I stream media from my MBP to my tv wirelessly? I can't seem to figure it out. Also mirroring my MBP desktop to my tv wirelessly, can it be done without an apple tv? Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue. It was due to the appalling performance of the USB connection to the disk, not any issue with the wireless connection itself. My iMac was within 7m of the router, on the same floor, with a clear line of sight and good reported connection speed. I have the latest late-2009 version of the AEBS running the 7.5 firmware. This has loads of performance problems (read these forums). I'm hoping that Apple will release the new firmware (7.51) for download soon and then the issue may be resolved.

TS3367 FaceTime not working on my ipad. Also iPlayer on the ipad tells me insufficient bandwidth and so I presume it is the same problem. However, iPlayer is working well on my Apple laptop and desktop. Any suggestions.

From what I read, this issue is affecting mostly users with iOS 6 installed on their devices. If you are able, upgrade to iOS 7. My mom called me yesterday with the same issue, upgraded, then it worked fine for her.
If you are not able to upgrade, you'll probably have to wait for Apple to fix whatever is affecting iOS 6.

How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
Now I've got something to do.

I want to move photos from my laptop to desktop and merge catalogs

I have Photoshop Elements 5 on my desktop with about 15,000 photos. Prior to a big trip I bought a laptop and loaded Elements 9 on it. I took about 5,000 pictures on the trip and organized them. Now I'm back and I want everything from my laptop on my desktop, including my copy of Elements 9.
I can probably figure out how to get Elements 9 from my laptop to desktop, however I searched the forums and it appears you can't merge catalogs.
Can anyone recommend the best way to handle my situation?
What I'm thinking...
Upgrade my desktop from Elements 5 to Elements 9.
Make sure my old Elements 5 catalog on my desktop is converted and functioning in Elements 9.
Copy all my files from the Laptop to the Desktop
Import all my files
Done.
The only problem is I will lose all the organization I did on my laptop! I don't want that.
Thanks!

I think its the best solution to write tags and all in photographs.... and get them back on import...
Here is one article about the simple case of migrating from one machine to other..: http://photoshopelementsbyadobe.blogspot.com/2010/06/how-to-transfer-your.html
There is no easy solution to catalog merging and one needs to look for solutions as suggested in last reply

Streaming media from PC to XBOX 360 via BT Router ...

Hi,
I've just moved house, I used to be with SKY BB and I've never had any issues streaming media from my PC to my XBOX.
I have tried everything I can think of (I have even restored my PC) but then I realised that the only thing that is different is my router?
I'm connected from the PC to the router via WiFi
My XBOX is connected via a cable directly into the router.
But the XBOX can not detect the PC
But my PC can see the XBOX
'My Videos' - 'My Music' - & Media Centre does not work on the XBOX
(Yes, all of my folders are shared, in the past I have done this 100's of times)
am I missing something? Is there a setting on the router that needs changing??
Many Thanks
Ben

The IP subnet for the home hub is different than your Sky router, so you may need to make some changes to your device settings.
If its a home hub 4, then this thread may also help.

Can I stream content from my laptop to Apple TV?

I have the old version of AppleTV, am looking at the new one. I don't think it does this, and I've read through the sales/features page and I'm still not perfectly clear so thought I'd ask here.
Can I use AppleTV to stream video content from my laptop to a TV? for example, let's say I have a webinar that is 90 minutes long and I'd like to watch it on my TV and not sit at my computer staring at a smaller screen for 90 minutes. can AppleTV do this for me?
if the answer is no, can ANYTHING do this for me short of hooking up a physical HDMI cable from my laptop to the tv? Seems like this is something Apple should be leading the way with, but I'm just not seeing how it can be done.

I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
As Keithjammer indicates, the TV2 does not "mirror" your screen as the platform's video interface does. Instead, the TV2 device is a wired/wireless remote multimedia player. As such, it only plays files in a compatible compression format. To do what you want it to do would require your platform to first compress the screen audio/video data to a compatible format and then stream it to the device in real time.
I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
Yes, only files can be streamed. You can, of course, capture your screen audio and video data to a compatible file and then stream the file to the TV2 device.
...except from both London Drugs (where I purchased it) and Best Buy (where I double checked).

Stream media from PC to BB 9360 ?

Hi, simple enough question, rather than having to copy over all my tunes to my curve, I would prefer to just strream them from my pc's wmp dlna server. Anyone familar with htc android phones will know how easy and simple this is to do on these devices. But how can one do it on a blackberry, I see they added a file sharing feature in os7.1 but all it seems to do is share media from my bb to my pc (stupest thing ever, as there is a much greater chance that one's music is on their pc not their phone ) Any ideas ? Thx

If you have a Blackberry Desktop Software, you can look for the Wireless Music Sync, you can also stream music there on DLNA.

I want to stream media from a NAS drive connected to my Time Capsule.

I recently bought the Time Capsule to serve as my backup and my wireless router. Both of my Macs are now using it via Time Machine. I now want to move my large ITunes and IPhoto databases from an external hard drive on one Mac to a network drive where I can stream/view from either Mac. What is the best way to do this?
1. Buy a NAS drive with just ethernet and connect to one of the three port on the Time Capsule? If so, what is the best drive to buy?
2. Use a USB drive and attack to the USP port on the Time Capsule? If so, will any USB drive work?
3. Other?

i recently moved my iTunes library to a NAS. i'm very happy with performance.
have a look at this discussion.
as for iPhoto, all i have is a link to a recent discuss over atthe Apple TV forum but don't know how relevant it is: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15366429#15366429
2. Use a USB drive and attack to the USP port on the Time Capsule? If so, will any USB drive work?
as long as the drive is properly formatted, yes. you may need to use a powered USB hub. the USB connection may or may not be a bottleneck as compared to full gigabit speed of the NAS.

WRT54GS cannot connect to windows media center with xbox360/can stream media from PC to x-box

- running win XP MCE and set up xb 360 on wireless router WRT54GS updated from V1 to V 4.71.4 . PC wired to router and DSL signal goes by wire from wall to modem, router, PC. I can stream media through xbox but not make the WMC connection. I still get the"xbox360 not found on network". I have gone through x-box set up page and installed the setup files. I excluded windows firewall as a problem. I can connect to Xbox live and xbox live/media tests on the xbox run w/o any failures.

Thanks for your reply Yes, I can connect to Xbox live from x box w/o diff. It seems that the xbox can "see" the PC but the PC cannot "see" the xbox. My PC is XP not Vista.
