Using AppleTV to make the TV a second (wireless) monitor

Given ATV's wifi capabilities, it seems to me that it should be possible to use Apple TV to stream my computer screen to the TV set, and thus use ATV as an intermediary so that my TV set acts a second monitor. Is this possible?

I bought a couple of "video sender boxes" that did this - one sat behind my pc and had an adapter hanging out of the VGA port (with a thru option to monitor) - the other box sat under the TV and had a SCART output to TV.
Results were OK, and only OK - I bought ATV to replace the solution for downloaded movie playback, and it's a far better soltion than the sender, and the quality is far far better.
The only thing I miss is streaming, could stream onto my PC screen and "send" to TV in lounge... now if only ATV could do that!!!!

  • How to insert a simple page break in an eBook while using pages to make the ePub?

    Hello,
    I am using pages to make ePubs.
    I have a problem: if I insert a page break in pages, it is deleted when I convert the file to ePub.
    So I do not know how to start on a new page without adding a new chapter....
    Do you have a solution?
    best regards
    MD

    You are taking about Pages '09? because this has been removed from Pages 5.
    Clunky as it may be it does have some very powerful features.
    You can capture as many pages into a Section as you want, which automatically sets up a document in depth. Once you have done the work, it is super fast to compose a new document from all the parts.
    It is a shame that Apple didn't simply fix what needed fixing with this model, instead of ditching it, because I am really stumped how to set up documents in the current version.

    Unfortunately, no mechanism for this exists for Windows. If you had a Mac, you could get AirParrot...

  • Installing itunes on my pc using windows 7 makes the disc drives disappear

    does anyone have a fix for this? I'm using a pc with windows 7, used to be able to uninstall itunes and the drives would reappear, now that doesn't work so I have no disc drives. Have tried everything (my computer friend has, for me) including a new disc drive - same problem. AM ready to buy a new computer, but searches indicate the problem may occur with a new computer as well.

  • Any idea why the sissor cut tool would behave differently than it has. It makes the cut several seconds in advance of my marker-now. Previously it was precise. Thx..

    The sissor tool is making arbitrary cuts, in areas I have not specified. I have  used this tool alot. Has previously worked as desired.
    Any idea what might be controling it to act this way?
    Thank you.

  • Using TWO iTunes at the same time on different monitors on Mac Pro:

    Here is what I want to do:
    I want to use a Mac Pro with two displays to play videos from iTunes in full screen mode on the second display while simultaneously playing music not associated with the videos on the main display.
    Is this possible or do I have to get a completely separte application to play the videos on the second monitor?

    I don't know of any way to get iTunes to play two different things at once, nor to get two instances of iTunes to launch at the same time. So I think you'll have to play either the music or the videos with another app.

  • How to make the strength of my powerbook wireless stronger?

    hi, im using powerbook g4 12inch and my friend is using ibook.
    my problem is she can get stronger signal than mine. for instance, she can get 4 networks and i only have one or none network listed. and another example is that she could get full range 4/4 and mine is only like 2/4?
    i hope you can help me solve this problem because im using alot of wireless for my projects. and this disturbs me because even in my home i have trouble connecting in the kitchen when my router is at my bedroom nearby!
    anyway, i read somewhere that the support people ask a guy to open the network/airport card and do something like pressing it for 10sec?? and his airport card is stronger than before (he claims), but he did not provide enough details, info for the procedure. so i thought i might get more help here?
    so anyone knows a way of how to make the strength of my wireless stronger?
    much thanks!

    Perhaps the advice was to make sure that the cable or card is firmly connected/seated. Here's some documentation on how to do that.
    Historically, iBooks have had better AirPort reception than metallic PowerBooks due to the signal travelling better through plastic than titanium or aluminum. My 12" PowerBook has little plastic edges to allow better reception. I don't recall when these were added.
    Right now, I'm able to connect to my router in my bedroom from the living room. In the past, it was pretty spotty, but I think an update fixed that. I can also see several nearby wireless networks.

  • How can I make the flash of fire that comes out of a gun when it's shot?

    Hello, everyone. I have Motion 2.1.2 and am a MAJOR neophyte at it. One can even say that for all practical purposes, I've never used it. Therefore, keep this in mind when helping me. I know nothing.
    Is there a way to use Motion to make the quick flash of fire that comes out of a gun when it's shot?
    Simple enough question, I guess, and I imagine it's not all too difficult to do . . . but, alas, I know not how to do it. Perhaps some helpful folks on here can let me know how.
    Thank you much in advance.

  • To make the User group Filed mandatory for the Tcode SU01

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to make the 'User Group' Filed mandatory for the Tcode  'SU01'.
    I know we can do it using Transaction variant.
    But i do not want to create a new custom Tcode (e.g ZSU01) for the same.
    I understand we have a User Exit  'SUSR0001' for the Tcode SU01.
    Can we use this to make the User Group field mandatory.
    Or is there is some alternative way to do this ?
    Please advice.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Anubhav Mishra

    You don't need to create a custom Tcode to assign a transaction variant, just declare it as being a "standard variant" (in the SHD0 transaction too), and you'll make it assigned automatically to SU01 when this last is started.

  • How to Make the Default Button Marker Not Show Upon Launching...

    I am trying to only have the markers show up on the menu item when you roll over it.  However, when the menu is first launched, the marker is automatically showing up on the first button.
    I have selected "None" as the default menu button in the menu config.  I am also using Photoshop to make the menu and creating the (+) buttons there.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Dave

    Create an invisible button (turn off the visibility of all layers) and
    set it to use Highlight Group 2 (edit the Menu Color Set).  Set the
    opacity of all the highlight states to 0%.  Make the invisible button
    the default button.

  • I was told of an application that will allow the use of a second screen to view my data and files, but I forgot its name. I'd like to make the connection because my LCD is broken.

    You don't need an application, just plug a compaitble monitor into the display port of your MacBook Pro, set the screen up in System Preferences>Displays

    I am trying to create a simple animated gif in Photoshop. I've set up my frames and want to use the tween to make the transitions less jerky. When I tween between frame 1 and frame 2 the object in frame two goes out of position, appearing in a different place than where it is on frame 2. Confused!

    Hi Melissa - thanks for your interest. Here's the first frame, the second frame and the tween frame. I don't understand why the tween is changing the position of the object in frame 2, was expecting it to just fade from one frame to the next.

    how do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop?  I want to use both displays at the same time.  My iMac is the 24" Late 2006 model.  I recall that there is a cord for plugging in a second monitor, but I want to make sure that i can use both monitors side-by-side at the same time.  thank you.

    If the Display supports DVI, then you will need a > Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter and a DVI cable.
    If the Display only supports VGA, then you wiil need a > Mini DVI to VGA Adapter and a VGA cable.
    Noting that the (digital) DVI is far better than the (analog) VGA connection.
