Watching a movie from MacBook on TV
Is there any way to watch movies downloaded on your MacBook on your TV (without burning them to a DVD) I have seen this done somehow with windows. Any ideas, thanks!!
You will need two different connectors. 1 to connect the video output from your macbook to the video input on your tv and another to connect the audio output from the macbook to the audio input on your TV.
This will connect the video (yellow)

This will connect the audio (red and white)

There are many other brands of connectors so you might make a trip to your local electronics store to see what they have. Additionally, you'll need an RCA cable to connect the video adapter to the tv itself.

how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?
You don't use Airplay. You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

I'm trying to watch a movie from my iPad on my tv with Hdmi cable. Do I need to do anything to the tv to make this work?
Not really. Using the correct Digital Av adapter and connecting the iPad to the Tv through one of its HDMI ports is all it takes. Of course making sure the correct input is selected in the Video source selection on the TV.

I don't have money for new tech or headphones. I want to watch a movie from my laptop via AirPlay (watch a movie straight from Apple TV), but hear the sound on my headphones attached to my MB Air.
Is there any way to do this??
http://superuser.com/questions/853821/watch-a-movie-straight-from-apple-tv-but-h ear-the-sound-on-my-headphones-on-myThanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

How to transfer movie from MacBook Pro to iPad ?
How to transfer movie from MacBook Pro to iPad ?
For transferring videos you could use 'Video Transfer App'. I'm the developer of this universal application (iPhone/iPad) that let's you transfer videos from your iPad or computer directly to another iPhone or iPad.
The app is currently in the Top 25 iPad apps in the photography category.
Here are couple of videos that show how the app works:

Does it worth to move from macbook pro to macbook pro retina?
Hey
I have macbook pro with
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
and its good but many people are saying macbook pro 2013 with retina display is the best laptop and has many features so do you advice me to move from macbook pro to macbook pro 2013 with retina display?
thankaIt's a very sweet machine, of course. Although the upgrade path is a bit dicey. Just my opinion, but unless you have very demanding graphics needs (in which case you probably should have a desktop system with a huge monitor), I don't see the point of spending all the money. Probably you would get more value if you take your current machine and max out the RAM and get an SSD.
It's hard to advise anyone in such matters via the internet.
Here are some good reviews:

HT204291 Showing checked screen when mirroring hd itunes movies from macbook to tv?
Showing checked screen when mirroring hd itunes movies from macbook to tv?
it's dvd's DRM encryption kicking in
it's by design if you use remote desktop from another computer to the computer
the same thing would happen
people say that the free player vlc don't have the issue
if that is the case then vlc are breaking the law as stripping a dvd's movie stream of encryption is not really legal -
We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away. Now it takes hours. Is there a setting to change? They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now. What's up?
Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks. It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively. Tonight has been no exception.
I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause. My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm. I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there. My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
I have both a first and second generation AppleTV. When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame. The issue affects both. I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so... it must be on the delivery end.
Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers. They should. In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
I was an early adopter of AppleTV. It has not been problematic until now. This is trying my patience. My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens. I do.
I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services. If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know. -

I have ATV2 and the correct version of ITunes yet when watching a movie from ITunes, ATV2 will drop it mid way through and then will claim home sharing is not activated in ITunes. Can anyone offer advice please?
yepp, I have done numerous tests today, skipped router and hard wired betwenn PC and appletv3. same problem.
same network, but from my laptop, works like a charm.. so its not reproducable on all machines.
this seems to be a itunes/bonjour problem, not ATV3 problem. -
hello.
I recently purchased a macbook pro, and is, and learn some things. and I have apple tv, and the question is can I send a movie from macbook and surf the Internet simultaneously without interrupting the movie?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can't do that in AirPlay Mirroring. AirPlay Mirroring can only mirror your MacBook's display, so you can't do one thing in your Mac's display and another in the TV.
This is a feature that will arrive in Mavericks. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview -
Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song
it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
Have you tried it without the headphones?
