Will I be able to stream my Macbook Air to my TV using Apple TV?

On the Apple TV page, it says that I will be able to stream my iOS devices to my TV using Apple TV and a HDMI cable. It doesn't mention anywhere if I can stream my Macbook Air to the TV, though, and if I can't it would be a deal breaker for me.
If it matters, I bought my Macbook Air in June, so it's pretty new. I'm running OS X 10.7.5, but if I have to upgrade to be able to stream it, I'm willing to do it.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

HT200131 When I connect my MacBook Air to my TV using Apple TV, the audio stays on my MacBook and does not transfer to my TV. Thus the volume is very low when I am watching a Movie on my TV and I have to listen to the volume from my laptop. How can I fix

When I connect my MacBook to my television using Apple TV the audio stays on the MacBook and doesn't transfer to the TV. How can I make it so I can hear the Movie or Video through my TV's speakers and not my MacBook's?

This is called "extended desktop mode". It's an extension of the desktop off to the right (by default) of your MBair screen. Grab an app and drag it off the right side of your MBair screen and it will appear on the TV.
To mirror your MBair screen on the TV you can press Command F1. This will toogle between mirror and extended desktop.
You can find all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

Can I stream my Macbook air to AppleTV?

I know that I can stream from iPhone and iPad, but I like to know if I stream my Macbook Air's screen to the Apple TV. I want to use my HDTV as a monitor for the Macbook Air wirelessly.
Any help is much appreciated.

Approximately 8 weeks ago we were on the telephone with an Apple employee regarding an AppleTV related question and that Apple employee told us Mountain Lion was due out Summer 2012. That was the last and only information I've discovered on this particular topic

No, no MacBook can run AirPlay. You need a Mac that was built after 2011 and the MacBooks were discontinued in Mid 2010.

Streaming issues MacBook Air -- Apple TV ?

Hello everybody.
Does or did anyone of you eperience the same streaming issue with an macbook air mid 12 and an apple tv3?
Only streaming from this device, any other will work proper (such as iPhone4 , iPad 2, etc.).
The issue is:
- streaming aborted
- after 30-45 mins of video streaming - video only
- apple tv not reachable
- apple tv has no internet connection / content, etc
- macbook gets very hot in the top left corner (wifi module?)
- no airplay, mirroring etc. works any more with the mentioned device
- only restar of apple tv helps
Both devices are connected via the same WIFI/router. Network type (5GHz or what ever) is unknown due to the fact that I've forgotten my router password. I thought this is where I am probably able to check some things... (I am soving my password stuff right now with my provider).
so...any ideas?
forum search and google-it did not work (for me). open to any suggestions.
many thanks in advance :-)

Hey mathezmichal,
Congratulations on the purchase of your Apple TV. The resources below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having AirPlay, specifically streaming video from the MacBook Air. Since YouTube is one of the channels on the Apple TV, I would suggest accessing the videos directly for that particular service.

You can't.
The components of MS Office 2004 (which includes Word 2004) are PowerPC apps. In order to run PowerPC apps in Snow Leopard and earlier on an Intel Mac required the assistance of Rosetta software. Lion does not support Rosettta, so such apps can not be used in Lion.
In order to use your documents in Lion, you will need to -
• update the apps to a current version, ones which do work in Lion
• migrate the docs to other compatible apps which do run in Lion, such as Pages.

I'm making a DVD for our class reunion. A fellow classmate has some video on a mini cassette that he said he could put on a dvd. Will I be able to import from that dvd to imovie to use in my dvd?

I'm making a DVD for our class reunion. A fellow classmate has some video on a mini cassette that he said he could put on a dvd. Will I be able to import from that dvd to imovie to use in my dvd? Or does it have to be in another format, maybe flash drive?

Ask your friend to supply you the DVD as a data DVD using either DV or AIC as the video format, burning the DVD as a DVD for a DVD player will degrade the video quality.

I was going to buy some HD movies on iTunes, will they play in HD on my Macbook Air

I was going to buy some HD movies on Itunes, will they play in HD on my MacBook Air?

Depends on your screen resolution. System Preferences/ Display you will see the different screen support resolutions. Does it support 1980x1080? That is what HD resolution is. That being said on a screen as small as a MacBook Air you won't see any difference and if you are connecting to a monitor the display output is:
Pure digital video output
DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)
HDMI output using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (sold separately)
NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory3
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors

How will i be informed if my stolen macbook air is tracked?

I had my macbook air stolen at about 2 weeks ago. I activated the track my mac, but since then it was never turned on as I can see through the net. So, I ask: how will I be informed if my stolen macbook air is tracked?

Thank you very much!!! I just wanted to express my frustration to know how simple it is to get away from this "weak" sense of security that is the "track my apple device". It should be something independently of the OS, but at least linked to its serial number!!!!! Congratulations to the Apple to be so kind to the thieves!!!!!! (I was sarcastic now!).
