Trouble connecting Macbook Air and iTunes with Apple TV

When I tried to connect my iTunes to my Apple TV,this message showed 'An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (-15000)'. I just changed my iTunes ID. I am using Macbook Air 13" mid 2011 OS X Lion.
Anyone has the same problem?

goto settings on your appletv and reapply your new Apple ID information to correct the issue. Same on your Air also if you havent already done so

I have a mid 2011 macbook air and a new Apple TV but I can't mirror. What's the problem? I have checked display settings and I don't have the "allow mirroring" option there.

What is the problem?

About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

MacBook Air and iTunes Match

How does one move an album purchased on an iPad set up with iTunes match to an iPod. I have a MacBook Air, but the music does not sit locally on the device. I used to have all my music installed locally on my MacBook Pro, (no problem here. Sync and go ) but now that I've upgraded to the MacBook Air I cant figure out how to get this album on to my iPod unless I use up solid state hard drive space to store music.

Make sure you are signed into the Apple ID you used to purchase iTunes Match in Settings>iTunes & App Stores. If you are, try tapping the ID, signing out, then signing back in. Then try turning on iTunes Match again.

Having trouble pairing my iPhone and iTunes with Remote.

So, I know that these are to the ways to use Remote. When trying to pair with an iTunes library, steps 1 and 2 work but when I open iTunes on my computer, the Remote button does not appear. When trying to pair using Home Sharking, steps 1-4 work but my library does not show up for me to select. I am using an iPhone 5S and MacBook Pro, both with the most current versions of iTunes.

Hey brenyo!
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your Remote pairing:

MacBook Air and problems with Time Capsule in 5GHz Radio Mode

We have our Time Capsule configured to 802.11n only (5 GHz). We've done this to work more efficiently in a particularly noisy wireless area. The problem is that the MacBook Air can't maintain a connection to it and when it loses the connection, the wireless interface seems to disappear from the Mac altogether - the wireless status indicator just shows an empty cone. The only solution is a restart. Sometimes it loses the connection after a couple of hours, sometimes within minutes, though it always goes eventually. All other machines on the network are fine, and switching the Time Capsule to 802.11n only (2.4 GHz) solves the problem, though there's a lot of noise at that frequency and our network performance as a whole suffers.
I know there's similar threads around dealing with the MBA and wireless issues (I've tried all the solutions vaguely related, e.g. deleting and recreating the wireless interface), though none that deal with this specific problem, which I'm convinced is caused by the radio mode of the Time Capsule.
All software / firmware is the latest:
MacBook Air 10.5.2 Wireless Card Firmware Veriosn Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.5)
Time Capsule Version 7.3.1
I was hoping the recent firmware updates would sort this... any one else running a Time Capsule in 5GHz mode with a MacBook Air?

I'm running my TC in 5ghz mode with my MBA. My original problem was the lack of signal strength coming from my AEBS caused the MBA to have a slow connection. There are a number of pipes in the wall that separates the two rooms where my MBA lives and the AEBS is.
So, I hard wired the TC to the AEBS and placed the TC in the room where my MBA lives most of the time. Now that the signal strength is really good I'm not having any issues.

Direct connect macbook air and time machine

Any idea how to direct connect my macbook air with my time machine?
I am wanting to do a large restore from my old mb to my new air. This would take 18+hours over my network.
Few tidbits: my time machine isn't the newest version so it doesn't have a thunderbolt port. One usb and several ethernets.

Complete an Time Machine backup of ypur old machine to an external USB hard disk
If the Air is "brand new", you are in luck. Use Setup Asistant on the very first Boot. Upon that boot, the system will aks if you would like to transfer files, applications and settings from another computer. You would then attach your USB disk, the Time Machine Backup, and direct the sytem to import all the information from the TM backup.
Here is everything you need to know, and more.

Trouble connecting to apps and iTune store.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac...suggestions?

Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac with Apple Remote desktop or a cable. They do share a wifi router.
Thanks much!

not sure if you found an answer to this. I just got a mb pro and want it to connect to my imac (late 2009). I set up sharing on hte imac, file sharing and dvd/cd sharing. from the mbpro i simply went to finder>go>connect to server. I entered the name as on my imac (xxx.local) and immediately connected. This was a massive help to me as I had some software (aperture, office for mac) that were on drive and the new mbpro doesn't have a disk drive. through sharing I could access the disc drive remotely via my mbpro and load the software that way. worked beautifully on my wifi (which is apple airport extreme).
Hope this helps.

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

I have trouble connecting to Apple store and Itunes with my Iphone 4s while my IPad just does it perfectly fine. What can I do?

Hi guys
for two days my beloved Iphone is just giving me headaches. I am trying to connect to AppStore and Itunes using my home wifi connection. It gets the signal, reads my mail, browses on the internet and gets my news but impossible to access Appstore, Itunes and Youtube. My Ipad is connected to the same wifi spot and does the job perfectly. Why is that and how can I get my Iphone back working.
I used at some point a VPN but it is not activated - Is it related ? what can I do? Do I need to reinitialize the device?
Thanks a lot!!!

Have you checked restrictions? Settings>General>Restrictions>YouTube, iTunes, Installing Apps, Deleting Apps>ON

I bought a MacBook Air and wish to communicate with old iMac G5 2003-5 (sorry can't remember the year). The screen on the iMac is blank and will not come on but the hard drive still works. Can anyone tell me the cable I need to with the iMac & how to do it. I have music and photos on the iMac I cannot access.
Also, do I need to special CD/DVD external drive/burner to import music CD's into iTunes? I have tried and it keeps coming up with formatting problems.
Many thanks. Jax

My 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent?

After the latest apple IOS upgrade my 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook, lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent? There are so many people complaining about this issue and expecting Apple to correct this issue that they have created.

Probably because it's not an Apple issue. I have Lacie EHD's connected to my MBAir and iMac, all work perfectly on Mavericks. In addition I don't have any keyboard issues on any of my Apple products. BTW IOS is only for IOS devices such as iPads, iPods and iPhones, Macs use OS X. The two OS's are seperate products designed to run on seperate products.

how can i purchase a macbook air in Nigeria? apple has no shop in the entire country and independent dealers charge ridiculously sometimes more than double the prices of mac products without guarantee of getting it with required specifications. its sad cos Nigeria has a very large apple market plus phones and most recently ipads especially. its been frustrating trying to get a macbook, even have to wait for when someone will travel out of the country, then you send the person(thats if you have the money at that time). Please somebody help inform apple maybe they can do something about this, its really disappointing.
