Wirelessly stream from macbook to tv with only coaxial input

I was hoping for some help. I travel a lot and end up in hotels with TV's that only have a coaxial cable input. Is there a way and what products do I need to wirelessly stream media mostly video from my macbook to a tv with coaxial input only. I have a RF converter so I can stream from an ipod to TV's like this. But I would like to stream items on my laptop. Since this is typically for travel, I dont need advice about using an apple tv, etc. Was just hoping someone would have been in a similar situation and can offer me some inexpensive and easy to travel with advice. Many thanks in advance.

The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports.
The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio. If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug.
The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. Check your TV manual to see if it has audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

How do you stream from macbook to apple tv?

trying to figure out how to stream from macbook pro to apple tv?

Sorry, Sonicray, but that doesn't answer the question.
The answer is, you need Mountain Lion.

Okay, use AirPlay if the Mac supports it or Home Sharing.

Wanting to connect an older G4 Powerbook running OS 10.4.11 to a Marantz SR4023 receiver amplifier with only RCA inputs to play iTunes through it on stereo speakers. Can anyone advise how to do this?

Wanting to connect an older G4 Powerbook running OS 10.4.11 to a Marantz SR4023 receiver amplifier with only RCA inputs to play iTunes through it on stereo speakers. Can anyone advise how to do this? Not tech savvy at all here, and will be happy with a simple hard wired connection. The Powerbook is old, and I no longer want to use it for anything but connecting iTunes radio, and my iTunes library to my stereo system.

Hi,
There were many PowerBook G4 models (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3065) with different ports (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2369).
If necessary, a manual can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#PowerBook%20G4
Generally speaking, the output of a headphone port can often be used for the connection to an amplifier. You would need an appropriate cable (typically, 3.5 mm stereo plug to two RCA plugs). Choose a suitable amplifier input (high level). Do verify the allowed amplifier input voltage levels and the impedance before you connect.

How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
I have an account on both machines. I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
What can I do to remedy this situation? I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account. I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

Very Slow Streaming from MacBook Pro to Apple TV

I am trying to stream movie from my MacBook to my Apple TV but the movies do not stream. My library shows up on my Apple TV and when I select them they do not load. After a few minutes a message will show up saying, "An error occurred loading this content, Try again later." I have had my Apple TV for about 5 months and have not had any problems streaming content before except when I had to do some port forwarding through my router but about a week ago it started with this issue. I have a PC hooked up to my network and am able to stream from that without any problems. My MacBook is running OSX 10.8.2 with iTunes 11.0.1, my Apple TV is running 5.1.1. Please help with any suggestions you might have.

Printer stopped responding to wireless transmission from MacBook Pro.

Product: HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium
Running MAC OS X 10.7.4
My printer displayed a message that there was a software update for eprint available that I said to go ahead and install by using the touch pad on the control panel..
Since that time my printer will no longer print files I send via my wireless network from my MacBook pro. However, it does print from another computer which is windows based.
Printer test says it is connected to the wireless network with the same IP address as it has always had and the correct SSID fopr the network
If I click on the HP printer icon in the Dock, it says the printer is ready and tells me I am low on one ink cartridge.
When I try to send a file to the printer to print, I get the drop down menu to select the preset formats and manner of printing. Then I get the indication that the job is in process with the number 1 in a red circle on the printer Icon on in the dock, When I click on the icon the Printer Job menu box opens and the following sequence occurs:
1. Menu says "looking for computer"
2. Menu says printing job 1% complete, barber pole scrolls
3. Menu says printer not responding
If I click on the "Open printer Utility" button, almost everything is indicated to be unknown including IP address, model serial number. Two items have info identified. Driver version is shown as Inkjet 3 Driver 3.3.0 and IK number is shown as 371.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Apple TV 2 - Slow wireless streaming from iMac

I recently purchased the Apple TV2 after being very happy with the first Apple TV. The direct wireless streaming form my iMac to my Apple TV2 seems to be extremely slow. Music videos which played fine on my first Apple TV even though the Apple TV Hard Drive was at full capacity take like 2-3min to start and then still freeze up in halfway through. I have not changed anything other that swopping out the old Apple TV for the new one. At this point the Apple TV1 gives me a much better experience than the Apple TV2. My iTunes liabrary is on the external hard drive but this has never been a problem on my iMac or old AppleTV. What could be causing the streaming to be so painfully slow.... surely this could not be the intended Apple experience.

I did have many connection issues when I first got my ATV2- found it was the saturation of wireless networks around my house. I ran iStumbler to check out what channels were available- and found none- all channels had more than 1 network on it. I think the ATV2 can lose a good connection quite easily- causing it to take longer to buffer.
I upgraded to an Airport Extreme and ran the ATV and iMac on the 5Ghz channel- that helped big time (I was the only 5Ghz network broadcasting).
So, check it out with iStumbler for Mac and you may be suprised.

Streaming from MacBook to AirPort Express

Hey, I need your valuable support.
My old B&W Zeppelin does not have the new AirPlay function therefore I bought an AirPortExpress to stream the music from my devices (IP4, IPAD and MBpro) to the Zeppelin. The configuration went well, streaming from IP4 to Zeppelin via AirPortExpress works great. But from Itunes on my MacBook.... it is not working. I can "see" the device in the AirPort configuration tool and I can choose the Zeppelin in Itunes, but then a window opens with an mowing bar saying "Connection to Zeppelin", but nothing happens. I created no password for the speakers......
What can I do to solve the problem, doing a reset does not help........ ****...
Has anybody an idea?
Many thanks from Germany...
Markus

besides changing the radio channel used, also try this:
open system preferences
open network pane
select airport in the left list
click the advanced button
go to the TCP/IP tab
set the configure IPv6 field to OFF.
click OK
click apply
now try again to connect to your remote speakers.

Left and right audio is cancelling out when I stream from macbook to apple TV2

When I stream from iTunes on my Macbook to my Apple TV the left and right audio sounds like it is cancelling each other out, meaning the lead vocal on songs is very low in the mix. Anyone know why this is happening?

Well there is something definitely wrong. If track is panned to left channel and the output virtual LEDs show left channel only then it has to be a problem somewhere else. Are you using a digital interface or the 1/8" audio out to mixer, headphone.

Looking for app to stream from MacBook Pro to iPad

I am hoping soon to get one of the new iPads and would like to play movies stored on my MacBook Pro laptop and watch them on the iPad. What is best one and I dont mind paying for it.

It is a 2 part app-server on Mac, client on ios device.
It streams from any drive, folder on the Mac.
It does live conversion, so you can stream video regardless of format.
I have been using it for a couple years-it is excellent.

Cant access My Photo stream from macbook air.

No direct access to My photo stream.
I can access it fine from a PC.
The "Web" option is not showing.
Recent photos taken on mi iPad do get to the cloud ok.
on latest Mavericks.

On a Mac you access your Photo Stream in either iPhoto or Aperture. Quotes below are from iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
How do I turn on My Photo Stream?
After you update your devices and set up your iCloud account, you can easily turn on My Photo Stream on any of your devices:
iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream in iOS 6), then turn on My Photo Stream.
Mac:
Go to Apple () > System Preferences > iCloud.
Select the checkbox for Photos (or Photo Stream).
Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is selected.
Open the app that you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on in that app. You can also adjust your My Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
How do I view My Photo Stream?
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Your photos will appear in the My Photo Stream album in the Photos app. If you're using iOS, you can find your photos by tapping the Photo Stream tab, then tapping the My Photo Stream album. In iOS 5, your photos are in the Photo Stream album.
Mac: Your photos appear in the Shared albums section under iCloud in iPhoto 9.5 or Aperture 3.5. In earlier versions of iPhoto and Aperture, your photos appear in the Photo Stream section. In iPhoto 9.4 or later or in Aperture 3.4 or later, open the My Photo Stream album.
PC using Windows 8.1: From the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud Photos app.
PC using Windows 8: From the Start screen, select iCloud Photos (or Photo Stream in iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.12).
PC using Windows 7: Click the Windows Start button, then click Pictures. Click iCloud Photos or Photo Stream under the Favorites menu in the panel on the left. Double-click My Photo Stream to view your photos.
Apple TV: After signing in with your iCloud account, you can view your photos by choosing iCloud Photos or Photo Stream from the main menu (or selecting Internet > Photo Stream in Apple TV Software Update 5.0).

Wireless streaming from iOS devices to an older analogue system

I was told that this could be done by connecting my Airport Express (not current update) to the wireless router, then connecting the Airport Express. I was then instructed to connect the Airport Express to my audio unit via a mini jack to the AE and the RCA cables to the back of my amplifier.
The AE remains "yellow" though my devices are connected to it. I add home sharing and voila, my iphone acts like a remote to the Mac and music starts streaming from it rather than the audio system! Not what I was planning.
Can someone tell me how to set this up right?

Please check out the following Apple Support article on details on setting up an Express for iTunes streaming.

Slow photo streaming from Macbook Pro to new Ipad

How is it that I can stream 1000 photos in minutes with a Mac Book Pro to an Iphone but it's literally taking all day to stream less tha 300 pictures from a mac book to the new Ipad?
Anyone have any comments on this?

I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with the file, just that when you compare performance to other things you stream, you need to remember it probably uses 2 to 3 times the bandwidth on your network.
Have you looked for 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 or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
