Watching videos from Safari

I bought an Apple TV today after a great sales pitch from the sales lady. I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. My husband uses the MacBook Pro to watch videos in online programs for work. The lady at Best Buy told me that anything that I can pull up my computer screen, I could also pull up on the Apple TV (so he could watch the videos on a larger than 13 inch screen. I am having a hard time getting videos to pull up that are not in itunes. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Sorry but the sales information was wrong.
AppleTV cannot mirror content from a Mac computer currently and we have no idea of whether or not it will be able to do so in the future.
There's a feature called Airplay for iDevices to play COMPATIBLE video from COMPATIBLE websites on AppleTV or music from itunes.
iPad2 will soon be able to mirror it's display on ATV2 - it would be nice if OS X was allowed to do so too but no guarantee.

  • Watching videos from websites or email

    Is there any way to download and watch videos from websites or email on the iPhone? When I click the link it says Safari cannot download the file. Just wondering if there is an update or application I can download.
    Thanks in advance,
    Keith.

    Not currently, the videos you're trying to watch are most likely flash and the safari browser for the iPhone just doesn't support it.... Its possible that its not flash and the video just happens to be a codec that the phone doesn't recognize. But so far, the only video from websites that ever worked on the iPhone we're quicktime videos. Lol no surprise there.
    Anyways, I hope I've helped.
    Take care!

  • No Wi-Fi after using Apple TV to watch video from iTunes?

    After watching video from iTunes library on ATV2 , when trying to use mac afterwards wi-fi slow or stopped. I Have to unplug router to get it working again. Don't think its always being like this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it

    Hi, I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems for over a year.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it waiting 30secs and then plugging it back in.  I have tried restarting, updating and reseting but nothing is working.  It's quite frustrating!!!! Any suggestions????

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Can only watch videos from YouTube, but not from other websites.

    I can only watch videos from youtube, but certain websites such as dailymotion.com , videos.sapo.pt, etc, the flash video does not load up. I´ve tried updating my video drivers, installing older versions of Adobe flash, but nothing has worked so far. Has anyone has this problem? IShould I be messing with the flash global settings?
    Thanks.

    Hi, You may want to check the system requirements for the other sites. If you can watch videos on Youtube, then you must have Flash Player Installed properly.
    Sometimes certain websites don't support or are late in supporting the latest version of Flash Player (10.1.102.64), so you might want to contact the websites on that.
    You can use this link for setting and see if that makes a difference. Normally you would get a popup from the website to ask for this, but that would depend on how you have the Global Settings Panels set up.

  • HT204382 How do I watch video from USB sticks please Thomas

    Hello World, who knows how to watch video from a USB stick??

    You click on the USB icon in a Finder window, and double-click the video....
    Where the video is (hard drive, DVD drive, USB, network) makes no difference to OS X.
    If you are having trouble making QuickTime play a particular video, it's probably because QuickTime doesn't support a lot of formats. Save yourself a lot of hassle and download the free VLC videoplayer and use that for playing your videos (whatever the format, VLC will probably play it):

  • Watching Video From Handycam Through 2010 MBP?

    Hi guys!
    Just a quick one... Just wondering if I am able to watch video from HD video camera (80GB hard drive) with HDMI port through my Mac. If 'yes' do I need any additional cables, etc?, If 'no', bugger
    Thanks in advance!

    You can connect it to a HDTV using the HDMI port but the mini display port on your MBP is an output only socket so the answer is "bugger" ...
    You could Import the AVCHD file from the HandyCam into iMovie and then watch it however (usually with the USB cable they provide with the cam)
    On the very latest Mac's that mini display port is now a Thunderbolt port and does support data flow in both directions.

  • Why can't I stream video from safari mobile to my apple tv?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't iOS 4.3 supposed to bring the ability to send my video I am watching on Safari Mobile to my Apple TV?  As of right now, and I am running iOS 4.3.3, all I can do is send the audio from Safari to my Apple TV.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    I thought AirPlay was only for iOS5 devices (IP, iPad, iPod).

  • Watching videos through Safari on You Tube etc

    I can't seem to watch any videos through Safari for instance on You Tube. They begin loading but never play. Please help I'm getting desperate!! And please use basic English I'm not at all technically minded, thank you!

    Just to expand on Baby Boomer's good advice:
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
    If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
    Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
    and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • Watching Video with Safari

    Safari seems to stall after I've watched a couple videos from the same site (e.g., www.TED.com).  Reloading Safari works for a few more viewings.  Any suggestions?

    Updating the software may help.
    Click Safari menu in the menubar and from the dropdown select Empty Cache.
    Wait cursor  may or may not appear for for few seconds.
    Best.
