Answer
Yes you can. But you always need a apple remote when first setting up an ATV. Wish that would change.

Answer
Yes. Just go to iTunes on PC, click on File, Home Sharing, Sign in, then click on "photos to share with apple TV, then select a folder of photos.
Works from a PC's external hard drive as well, if you are short of space.- Answered by John F

Can I have 2 Apple TVs associated with the same iTunes account?

Best Answer
Yes, it is not a problem at all. Once connected to your wireless network, each Apple TV can be linked to the iTunes account from the Apple TV on-screen interface. We also have iTunes running on separate computers simultaneously (using the same iTunes account) and each Apple TV will recognize and interact with each of the computers (provided of course that file sharing is turned on in iTunes on each of the computers). This way you can access different people's play lists, music libraries, shared photos, and shared movies from any of the Apple TVs.
I hope this is helpful.- Answered by Robert M from Dallas

Answer
Yes. I assume that "projector" means a TV or any other display that has HDMI audio+video input.
Method #1: Buy Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter (apron $50): one end goes into iPAD dock connection. The other end is dual: one connects to HDMI cable that goes into TV "projector" one is to plug into power - you will need it. Other AV connectors for iPAD don't have power input.
This way, your TV "projector" mirrors your iPAD. So you can watch movies or show photos, etc. on the big screen.
Method #2: Apple TV (aprox $100). This is cool because it's small enough to carry anywhere and is designed to connect to any TV HDMI port. You can then play anything on your iPAD or iPhone over local Wi-Fi. Has a remote control. But also gives you the ability to rent and stream/watch a movie, etc through Netflix or iTunes. No iPAD or Mac computer needed.
Method #3: If you want to do something similar but using MacBook or Mini Mac, get adaptor called "Mini Display Port" connector (AKA "thunderbolt" port) at one end to connect to Mac and HDMI connector at other end. Mac OS will detect it and make it an adjunctive display. OS is very smart that way. So you can use your big screen TV as an extra display. You can connect virtually any length HDMI cable (I've used 25 feet) between your Mac and your TV as long as the HDMI cable is up-to-date version.- Answered by Jane C from New York

i've bought the new macbook pro retina and installed the latest mountain lion update which now allows me to mirror everything through apple tv. I can watch movies, view pictures and mirror exactly what I'm doing on my macbook to the television. Apple tv is easy to set up and and a great way of watching tv
