Using apple tv with macbook?

Can I use my apple tv to watch things such as you tube videos and view images from iPhoto via my macbook? - (in the same way you can via iPad?)

Yeh I know it can use you tube independently, thank you   ... but i wanted to put the videos on you tube on my macbook, then they come up on the tv screen via apple tv like you can on the iPad??.

  • Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

    Hi ,
    I have a macbook connected to LCD TV with HDMI connection .
    Is there a way to use Apple remote with display closed .
    examples of using apple remote with display closed would be
    (1) waking the macbook with apple remote
    (2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
    (3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote
    (4) accessing front row (using LCD TV as Display )
    while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.
    please point me to any documentation / solutions available .
    I don't have any external keyboard or mouse connected to macbook . I just want to use Apple remote to do the above functions .
    Thanks

    Hi suresh,
    as mentioned here:

    and

    you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
    usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.
    Good Luck

  • Using Apple TV With Macbook Closed

    Hi,
    I have recently bought Apple TV and I know that the device has internal memory that it uses to load its content.
    My question is, once the content has been "loaded" into the Apple TV, can I then close the lid of my Macbook and start to watch or does the macbook need to be running still to access iTunes?
    Many Thanks

    The Gen 2 and 3 ATV's have minimal internal storage.
    There may be a setting in OSX to allow this, a search of the forums would reveal if any such setting exists.

  • Using Apple Remote with MacBook Air

    Does the new MacBook Air support the Apple Remote?

    Alternatively if you have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad you can look at remote apps such as Keymote, Rowmote Pro, etc.  (I'm a big fan of the latter).  These will allow you to do much more than just control Keynote.

    Hello chrispyw,
    If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
    If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • HT2208 Can I use Apple TV with a MacBook Air?

    Can I use Apple TV with my MacBook Air?
    The promotional material online doesn't make this clear but I like the sound of what' said on Apple TV.
    I'll buy one now if it works!

    In what way? You can use home-sharing to stream your iTunes library and Photos. If it's a recent MBA then you will also be able to mirror when Mountain Lion is released.

    can i use apple tv with my dish sat equipment.. how hard will it to connect?? what accesories to I need?? Will it find my wireless or do i need to enter wireless info??

    No, Apple TV connects directly to your TV. It's as simple as connecting via HDMI and then following the on scren instructions. It will find your networks but you will need to enter your password when setting it up.

    I am trying to use apple configurator with ipads. I have been successful with preparing and supervising all ipads but one. When preparing it in configurator, I receive an error that it is refreshed but with an error. Under supervise, I am not able to add apps. I have erased all content to start over but this does not work either

    Are you trying to restore a backup, or just sync some apps? Do you have profiles installed on the device?
    Have you plugged the ipad into iTunes, and did a fresh install? I'm assuming the device went through the prepare setup properly. You many have to unsupervise it first, then plug it into iTunes to wipe it completely.
    I'd then do each step seperately. Prepare it, then install 1 app, if that works, try another app, then maybe a profile.

  • Can I use Apple TV with an SDTV?

    Can I use Apple TV with my Samsung SDTV?

    To add to the above. The device was designed to work with HDMI and there will be no guarantee with any adapter. Even if it were to work, you will have issues with resolution, aspect ratio, and be unable to play protected content (i.e. iTunes, Netflix). You would also need to purchase a DAC in order to have audio. Functionality could also cease at any time.

  • Can I use Apple tv with an Apple id?Thanks

    Can I use Apple tv with an Apple id?Thanks.

    Then you should be fine, mirroring has nothing to do with an Apple ID. As long as the Apple TV and iPad (2nd gen or later) are on the same network you can use the feature
