Upgrade iMac allowing Apple TV. Can it be done?

I have an older 27" iMac. I am tying to upgrade to get int to work with Apple TV. Can it be done?

Upgrade it how? What exactly are you trying to accomplish, or what problem are you running into? If you mean that you wish to mirror your iMac's screen to your Apple TV, that can't be accomplished with the native AirPlay capabilities since that isn't supported on your older model of iMac. Try AirParrot:

Otherwise you'll need to give us more details as to what you wish to do.

Need to upgrade to version 11.1. can this be done remotely or do I have to tac my imac to the apple store?

Need to upgrade my Mac OS 10.5.8 to 11.1 or higher. I cannot access icloud, iphone updates, flashplayer, can't watch movies, or use itunes (I'm sure there are other options I can't access but haven't found them all) unless I upgrade. Can this be done remotely or do I have to take my PC to an apple dealer?

Version 11.1 of what? There is no version of OS X with that number so presumably you are referring to iTunes, which requires an Intel Mac running Snow Leopard or better:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

I want to upgrade iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade iMac from that DVD

I want to upgrade my iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with my purchase of the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade the iMac from that DVD that came with the laptop ? Thanks

No, that 10.6.3 DVD is system specific to the MacBook Pro.
You need a Snow Leopard Upgrade > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
or if a MobileMe users > Apple throws MobileMe users a free version of Snow Leopard

Otherwise, use the facebook mobile site.

How can I set up my Apple TV and iPhoto on my iMac so Apple TV can display pictures from iPhoto as a normal slideshow or as a Screen Saver?

I have an iMac and an Apple TV that is connected to the main iTunes library on the iMac. My Apple TV is able to find all the music, videos and pictures that are on the iMac's internal hard drive - presumably via iTunes (music and videos) and directly accessing the Pictures folder. So far, so good!
Recently, I have had to move a lot of my pictures to an external hard drive - and I had hoped that by 'importing' them into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them on the internal drive), I can still have my Apple TV "find" these pictures via iPhoto - and allow me to browse them as before or use them in my screen-saver.
However, while I can see them in iPhoto, my Apple TV seems to be unable to find them - and I am unable to see them on my TV.
So, is this even supported by Apple TV/ iPhoto? Is there some configuration I am missing? Or do I just need to boot up everything from scratch? Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.
Mahesh

Thanks - I did not realize that Homesharing can be specifically set to a photo destination like that!
So, it would appear that I can either point it to iPhoto (and folders/ events within that) OR the default Pictures folder and subfolders of that OR any other specific folder (and subfolders of that) of my choice. However, I cannot select BOTH the default Pictures folder (and some subfolder of that) AND a folder in iPhoto AND/ OR an event/ folder in iPhoto. Is that a correct assumption?
If so, the only way I see getting homesharing to get both set of pictures is to get all my picture folders (internal and external drive based) into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them) - and then pointing Homesharing to iPhoto, right?
I think you have solved my issue - but I just want to be sure of that.
Thanks a ton!

Upgraded imac to lion now can't keep connection to wireless network, iPhone and iPad are fine?????

Have upgraded my imac to lion and now it can't hold onto my wireless network connection, also having intermittant problems with mail incoming, and not able to send mail out. Wireless network, and mail working fine with my ipad and iphone. Any ideas out there??

I actually had that problem when I was downloading Lion it would connect but then if I tried to go on safari it said no internet connection and an exclamation point would be in the wifi bar. If you click on you wifi bar click on the option that says no error no internet or something like that. I deleted my network and then reestablished it as like it was the first time has been fine since even after the upgrade. I was in panic mode when it happend to because all my other stuff worked and i just got my new imac last week

you have a different issue then, sounds like your appletv cannot get access to the internet.

there's no point emailing apple, as the issue is most likely internal to your network and not a fault with the appletv.
Does upgrading to snow leopard help?
that would have no affect on the appletv being able to access the internet.

Time Capsule, Airtunes, and Apple TV - can it be done?

Hi,
Long-time lurker, second-time poster!
Here's my situation:
I have a huge amount of music (all Apple Lossless, so it takes up loads of space) spread over a MacBook Pro and a Windows laptop.
I'd like to move everything to a Time Capsule acting as a network drive (so it's all in one place and to free up HD space on my laptops), then put the Time Capsule through my AirPort Express into my music system. From what I've read, this seems to be possible, but still means having to have a laptop switched on to navigate my library in iTunes.
Is there some way to use the Time Capsule/Airtunes solution with Apple TV, so I can browse my music collection on the telly and then play it through my stereo, without needing to use a laptop?
I don't use iTunes for video - only music - so hopefully that will make things simpler....
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Imagine the combined unit with synchronised audio/video streaming to an external sound system - even the wireless iPod touch could join the party with Apple TV as the central digital hub. A product like this would be as big a revolution as the iPod itself! Price tag, i'd pay up to £500 for such a device - what do you reckon?
At home I'm using an Epson HD projector instead of a Hi-Def TV. All that's missing is wireless, synchronised audio (to the AEX which connects by optical cable to my Apple Hi-Fi, remember those?). The TV here is my old G4 iMac and EyeTV. Elgato disappoints though, they still haven't enabled MPEG-4 HD as we're using in Europe and elsewhere. I just love the swivel screens of the old iMacs, so convenient. Unfortunately I have way too much digital material to fit on an Apple TV so I'm not buying one until the hard disk space increases, then I'll shift all the content from the G5 onto AppleTV and couple it with a 1TB Time Capsule. That's the plan at least

Dialing from Filemaker via iMac modem socket. Can this be done?

I want to setup my iMac to enable me to call via a headset on a landline.
Has anyone done this?

To the best of my knowledge you can only dial over the iMac's modem, you'd then need to pick up a handset to actually make the calls as the modem is not voice compatible.

Upgraded iMac to ML but not my MacBook Pro and the MBP will not print wirelessly

Upgraded iMac to ML and can print wirelessly to HP5200C, but Mac Book Pro, which is not yet upgraded to ML will not.

Do you have the latest HP drivers, available from Apple here, on your MBP?
I see that the HP Deskjet 5520 series are supported...

Can't open iPhoto "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple." Doesn't work...

I've tried to open my iPhoto and a message box opens up and reads "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple." I update this and this message continues to pop up. I've even tried to rebuild it, but no matter what I do the same message appears and iPhoto still wpn't open. Can somebody please help me?!

i'm having the same problem with my iMac (Mac OS X 10.7.5) . i haven't really made any updates to it and yesterday when i tried to access the iPhoto library of my MBP (from my iMac) is when problems started. The iPhoto on the iMac initially said I need to install the recent version of the iPhoto. Since I can't find a 9.0 download, I went to buy the iPhoto on the App store.
When I tried to install iPhoto (version 9.4.3) to the iMac, I got this message:
The iPhoto Library Upgrader is a tool that prepares libraries from iPhoto 5 or earlier, so you can upgrade them with the current version of iPhoto. You can download the tool here.
Note: If your library is from iPhoto 6 or later, this tool is not required."
I then installed the iPhone Library Upgrader, but I got the same prompt:
'You can't open your current photo library using this version of the iPhoto. You have made changes to your library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
I guess this takes me back to square one? I am inclined to buy the iLife on eBay with the iPhoto 9.0 version, but needed to know if this is the case before I unfortunately bite the bullet.

Here is my problem: "To open "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 RUNTIME" after upgrading iMac to Yosemite, can anybody help?

This answer may be somewhat late, but just in case other have the same issues, I went to site listed below and it solved the problem. No need to reinstall CS5 product. I hope this works for you.

Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.

Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.
I have to restart mail most times before it starts recieving or recognizes the pop server.
As I said a lot of recipients do not recieve my mails when there is an attachment or when I reply to their email.
