No. Apple TV is NOT an add-on for your iMac. Apple TV is a set-top box, which is designed to connect to your TV, not your iMac.

If you want to watch TV on your iMac, try finding those "internet-TV" applications for your mac.

You can't watch Amazon Prime movies on your Apple Tv but you can on Roku.

I believe that if you connect the HDMI output cable of the AppleTV to your audio system, which would then also pass its output to your TV, that you could listen to iTunes from your iMac. On the AppleTV side, you need to turn on Computer Sharing, configure it for your iTunes from you iMac, and then contents of your iMac iTunes will be available to AppleTV. The rest depends upon your stereo system receiver/amp - if it supports HDMI inputs and outputs, you should be able to wire things up appropriately

Yes, all you need is an iTunes account and an HDMI port on your t.v.

No, the Apple TV cannot be used as a wireless wouter. You need to have a primary wireless router (Airport Extreme, Time Capsule, Airport Express, Linksys, D-Link, etc.) that the Apple TV can wirelessly connect to for Internet access.

I have a Time Capsule (the primary wireless router) plus two Apple TVs and an Airport Express. To correct the previous commenter, the Airport Express has LIMITED AirPlay functionality. Using iTunes on a Mac, iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, you can redirect the AUDIO stream to an Airport Express. However, to redirect an audio/video stream, you NEED an Apple TV; the Airport Express has no video connectivity (e.g. HDMI) whatsoever.

yes you can.
I have 3 myself, with each appleTV acquiring its own IP address from DHCP using the same WIFI network, same apple account, and same itunes repository (which I have on an iMac)... you will also need to set Home Sharing on all devices.

Not positive, but consider that your phone and the Apple TV need to be connected to the same network. That means you need a Wireless router, which the phone would hook to WiFi, and the ATV could be wired to. Do you normally have a WiFi router camping? Don't see why that wouldn't work, unless there is some setup of the ATV that it needs internet access for. Once on the same network, not reason they shouldn't see each other.

Seems simpler just to get the right cable for an iPhone 4 and your projector.
