Using Apple TV as display for MacBook

Is there any way for me to use my Apple TV to display what I see on my macBook wirelessly to my flat screen TV? I have a 1TB Time Capsule as well if that helps.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
No way as far as I'm aware I'm afraid.

    Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    with a mini display to mini display cable. Attach it to the Thunderbolt port on your MBP and to the mini display port on your iMac.
    How do I enable TDM?
    Make sure both computers are turned on and awake. 
    Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
    Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
    Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.

  • Using iMac as a display for MacBook Pro?

    I understand that the new iMacs can be used as external displays but can not find any information on how this works. Is it just a matter of connecting a MacBook Pro to the iMac and hitting a key? Also, what cables do I need to get this to work?
    Thanks

    Hey, I just got my 27" iMac last week and can verify that this works, as of a few minutes ago. I used the cable that converts from DisplayPort (the end that plugs into the iMac) and the mini DisplayPort (the end that connects to the MacBook Pro.
    Plugged in the cable and the iMac screen flashed gray for a second, indicating, I guess, that the iMac had detected the external device. Then I could toggle it over with the Cmd-F2 keyboard trick. When you toggle it on, the iMac screen looks like a giant second monitor for the MacBook Pro. When you toggle it off, the screen switches back to your regular iMac desktop. When I first connected the cable, the MacBook screen dimmed briefly with an overlayed thermometer bar I hadn't seen before indicated some sort of calibration, perhaps? That took a few seconds, then it worked like a charm.
    HOWEVER, if you are expecting the iMac to function as a second display for another device (like a PC, for example), the same trick DOES NOT work. This isn't clear in the documentation on apple.com and even some of the people in the Apple Store who I spoke to when I was buying it had not much clue about this, other than that it would work with a MacBook Pro. There's another device required (evidently) to make this work. Have had to order it, but have not tried it yet:

  • Using tv as external display for MacBook Air?

    Does anyone know how to use a 21.5" Samsung LED TV with 1920x1080 resolution as the external display for a MacBook Air A1369 running OS X 10.6.8 (broken screen)?

    I guess you have to buy a Belkin HDMI routing cable. From Thunderbolt/Display port to HDMI.
    Then plug it in to your macbook and into your tv. Then press CMD+F1 and voila.
    If you still have any problems, i like to hear from you.

  • Airport Express Problems when using Apple 27 " cinema display with Macbook

    I have recently got an apple cinema 27" display and when I connect it to my macbook and wake the computer up I cannot connect to the airport network. I can connect to wlan-ap, whatever that is, but my wifi barely sees my network. When I re-awaken the computer in normal mode, without he cinema display, the network can be connected to easily. Also, when I run the airport utility while using the cinema screen, you cannot see the airport express, but without the screen, you can.
    This is a weird wifi problem,=.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Using iMac and the display for MacBook Air

    Evening all
    I'm trying to hook my MacBook Air up to my iMac in order to use my iMac as the Macbook's display. 
    I've just been out and bought a thunderbolt cable, plugged one end into my Macbook and the other into my iMac... pressed command +  F2 but nothing happens?
    I've also tried command + ctrl + F2...
    Where am I going wrong??
    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately the instructions do not help me... They suggest that the target display should function provided that a thunderbolt cable is plugged in to each device... however, when I press Command and F2, nothing happens?
    I've tried rebooting both computers, resetting the PRAM and nothing works?

  • 24-inch Mid 2007 as external display for Macbook Pro Retina?

    I'm a video editor looking for a new laptop. Tough decisions, but these facts may help my decision...
    Can I use my 24-inch Mid 2007 as external display for Macbook Pro Retina?
    And if so, would the Macbook be able to access the external hard drives that are connected to the iMac? Or do the external hard drives have to be connected to the Macbook Retina?
    Retina's picture quality is just incredible but compared to Macbook Pro non-retina you sacrifice: disc drive, port options, customization, anti-glare screen. And its more expensive. Arghh

    I would use the retina as the primary screen for the canvas and viewer, while putting the browser and timeline on the iMac.
    Apple won't help here. Unfortunately, they leave they're old products in the dust and wouldn't waste time writing an article about connecting a macbook retina to an '07 iMac.
    Thank you for replying though Ralph. The answer has to be out there somewhere.

  • Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro

    Does the Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro work in cars to in the cigerete lighter and how does it work on a airoplane cause in airoplanes there is only a mike connection thats about it ?

    This is an alternative solution that works great for me. I always carry a small and lightweight DC to AC converter with me in my case when I'm on the road. It's a Wagan Tech Smart AC 100 USB that I picked up at Costco for under 20 bucks. 100 watt capability and allows me to use all my electronics and chargers on the road. I can use it to charge the cellphone, laptop, ipod, etc.
    Even includes a USB port on the side for charging USB based products and also includes the aircraft adaptor (and of course a cigarette lighter adaptor) and everything fits into a small cloth bag (included).
    http://www.wagan.com/htmls/detail-2382.html
    The link is for the newer 120 watt version but it looks identical otherwise. If you don't have access to Costco then check the link provided for either direct purchase or the availability of other resellers. There's a "where to buy" tab at the top of the screen. Cheers!
    P.S. I just noticed that you are from the U.K. I'm sure this will still work as your MacBook charger should autoswitch down to 110v input, you'll just need to make sure you have the North American plug installed. If not, I'm sure there are similiar DC to AC adaptors available in the U.K. Hope that helps!

    No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
    It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

  • Apple's Replacement Program for Macbook Air mid-2012

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to know more about apple's replacement program for Macbook Air mid-2012. I updated the said firmware and then my mac air stops working. However, according to the program, they are replacing it free of charge. I just went to an authorized service provider here in the Philippines and I just want to know if I will be paying any. I can't find good discussions in Google. Thanks.

    You should not, as the replacement program is worldwide. In case the reseller refuses to repair your Mac for free, print this website and take it with you

  • Apple Care+ for iPhone 5S & Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the apple care+ for iPhone and the Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook pro.
    Since I will soon be in Hong Kong, I intend to buy the iPhone 5S due to great savings compared to my come country.
    However, I have a question regarding the warranty which confuses me a bit.
    1) If I buy the iPhone 5S and the Apple care+, does that mean I will be covered world wide?
    I am from Denmark, and the applecare is currently not available from the Danish apple store. but does this imply that I will not be covered when I am in Denmark, in case of an incident?
    If not, what can one do? Should one ship it to an apple repair somewhere in a European country that is covered by the Applecare protection plan for iPhone?
    2) And the same question goes for the AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook - will a MacBook with the protection plan bought from Hong Kong, and imported to Denmark, be covered world wide, or what limitations does it have?
    I was trying to look through the terms and conditions on the Hong Kong website, however, it does seem rather intransparent some times.
    3) Finally, I have a question about purchasing Apple equipment from the physical Apple store in Hong Kong. As I am a student, I would of course like to have the student prices - should there be any problems getting this price from the physical apple store, or can one only get it from online purchases? Is a valid student ID sufficient proof of student status?
    Regards,
    Michael

    Start here:
    Apple - Support - AppleCare+ - iPhone
    Apple - Support - AppleCare
    From each of those sites you should be able to discover what if any differences may prevail depending upon the country of purchase.
    Apple's warranties may not be honored outside of the country where the equipment was purchased. I have no way of knowing whether hardware purchased in Hong Kong will have a warranty honored in Denmark.
    If you have a valid student ID then the academic discount should be honored in the Hong Kong Apple Store.

    Hi Jim on Apple,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you need to put your iMac in what is called Target Display Mode. The attached article has some great information on Target Display Mode including setting up and other common frequently asked questions.
