Using apple tv to connect mac book air to tv

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the apple tv to display something from a macbook air on to my tv?
Or does the apple tv only display objects from itunes? if so, what cords would have to be purchased in order to do this?

    Since the release of Mavericks, syncing contacts with a Mac using iTunes is no longer supported. The currently supported method is to use iCloud.  http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • How do I connect Mac Book Air with HD TV No Apple Tv available

    I am looking for a cable or connection from Mac Book Air to an HD TV. I ant to have the movies on the TV screen. But I don't want to buy an Apple TV.

    Hey vickitaunus,
    Thanks for the question. Your MacBook Air has a Thunderbolt port that can be used to connect Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables. We have a few offerings in our store:
    Cables - Mac Accessories - Apple Store (U.S.)

    You can also use our handy Cable Chooser tool in our Online Store:

  • Getting an error when setting up Apple ID on new Mac book air

    I am setting up new Mac book air and getting an error at the sign up with Apple ID. Says couldn't sign in because of a server error. Try signing in again

    I got this error when setting up a new iMac. I now beleive the reason was that I had already restored accounts and files from a Time Machine backup, and it then connected me to the Apple ID during the login. It is a flaw in the setup process that it didn't check for that and skip the Apple ID step.

    how to use IIFL trade terminal on Mac book air

    If you are referring to downloading and installing https://ttweb.indiainfoline.com/trade/Downloads.aspx it appears that is a Windows program and (only a quick look) I don't see that they offer a Mac version. To install a Windows program on a Mac you would first need to buy and install a copy of Windows (e.g. Windows 8). You would install Windows via Bootcamp Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support or via 3rd party software such as http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/

  • Install Maveric using USB installer on a Mac Book Air 2.1 following a new SSD?

    Hi,
    Mine Mac book Air 2.1 [2GB,128GB SSD, 2.13GHz] seem to suggest a need for a SSD replacement. Mt Mac book Air was shipped with Snow Leopard 2nd Sept 2009.
    My question is is it possible to install Maveric OS X directly on my new SDD if I use a Maveric install USB that is created on another Mac Book Pro? Or Do I have to first install my Snow Leopard Disk that was shipped with my computer and update to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 combo v1.1 on the new SSD prior to migrate to Maveric OS X using my created Maveric USB installer?
    Thanking you for your assistance
    Regards

    I don't quite understand what you have done. But to use the SSD you must first partition it then format it:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Once you complete the above, then quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Complete the installation of Snow Leopard. When you have done that restart the computer from the SSD to see if it's working properly. You can then upgrade to Mavericks by re-downloading Mavericks from the App Store.
    Only OWC can tell you if there is a firmware update for their drives. We have no way of knowing that.

  • How to change the Apple ID on the mac Book Air

    Hi,
    I just changed my apple ID name.
    However, I found some difficulties in applying the new ID in my devices.
    The situation is like this:
    1. I can not find how to change the apple ID on my air. When there are updates available, I was asked to enter my password.
    However, the apple iD was the old one. I do not know how to change it.

    Continued:
    2. After changing the apple ID, I heard that all the softwares need to be re installed because they belong to the old ID.
    Is that true and is there any ways to avoid this.
    Thanks!

  • Synchronisation between Apple TV and Mac book Air

    Dears, I have issue to synchronise everything I buy on the apple TV with my Mac Book Air. My family is using severals IPad, Ipod and so on, and everywhere the movie bought on apple TV are synchronise and became readable on each single devices. But, not on the Mac Book Air. Thanks for your advices as I can't find any solution to fix it.

    If you bought it thru Itunes, you can log into your Itunes account and download the movie from there into your Itunes folder for playback.

  • Slow wifi on mac book air.. is this normal? (airdrop)

    when using airdrop to send from mac book air (11 inch mid 2011) to a mac book pro (13 inch mid 2011) the wifi airdrop transfers seem very slow. a 5 gig file took 30 minutes to airdrop. when i was at my brothers house and i sent 11 gigs to his imac (unsure which model maybe 2009 <- before thunderbolt) it took 3 hours.
    i thought maybe this was airdrops fault, so i connected this mac book air to my mac mini (mid 2010) using airdrop, it also took 30 minutes for 5 gigs.
    so i made a manual WEP adhoc connection on channel 48, it also took 30 minutes for 5 gigs. i then tried copying files from another laptop (a dell)
    and the 5 gig file copied at the full 300 mbps (or abouts) maybe 5 minutes to the macmini
    whats going on here??? is this normal for the mac book air?? do i have a bum wireless card?? i was going to ask a genius to switch out the wifi card or check the antennas but i thought i would post here to see if anyone else has problems
    when copying to the mac book pro or the imac i made sure that both computers were connected at 2.4 to different networks, to make sure that 2.4 was
    tied up, figuring the simulataneous airdrop connection would prefer 5 ghz. ive seen it sometimes airdrop on the same machines on the same network and taking longer because it was a 802.11g network.

    seems like any of the 2 computers on at 2.4 ghz (even on different networks) slows down airdrop. but havingboth computers wifi cards on but not connected to anybody, speeds up airdrop dramatically.
    sending from air to mini (air = 5 ghz wifi) mini (2.4 wifi) airdrop speed 12 gigs in 1 hour
    sending from air to mini (air = 5 ghz wifi) mini (not connected) air drop speed 12 gigs less then 30 minutes
    sending from air to mini (both at 2.4 ghz) 4 hours
    sending from air to imac (both at 2.4 ghz on two different networks ) 4 hours

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.
