Best AnswerNo. 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.- Answered by Seth C from Bangkok

Best Answer
Do you mean by physical means, like a cable or something? The answer is no. But they do connect virtually through your local area or wireless network. iOS devices can be used to control Apple TV, or even mirror their displays on it through AirPlay.
Being a new Apple TV user, I was pleased to see how this connectivity can be a real boon for those of us who want to make presentations using our iPads. Just hook up Apple TV to a projector or large screen TV, et voila!- Answered by Marc D from Hamilton

Can I output music from an iMac through my surround sound system using AppleTV via my home wireless network?
I have a surround sound system which includes a TV, audio system and apple TV (version 1). My goal is to be able to output music through apple TV via my wireless network. For example, I'd like to create a playlist on my imac and then output it through Apple TV and thus my surround sound system. Hopefully I can use the equipment I already have without spending a fortune to make this happen. Thanks for any assistance.

AnswerI 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

Can you stream movies from your macbook through the apple tv onto your TV? or is there an easier/cheaper way to do this?
- Asked by Justin T from Kingston
- 05 24, 13
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes, you can stream any movie in your iTunes library wirelessly through the Apple TV. The only cheaper way I can think of is to get an appropriate cable and/or adapters to directly connect your MacBook to your TV's video and audio inputs. That's quite a pain, though, and I think the Apple TV is worth the price just for the convenience of not having to fool around in the back of the TV every day.

Can the Apple Tv be used without an Internet connection.
Can i hook up the Apple TV and use my Iphone 4 to watch my Iphone content on the TV. We go camping alot and i would like to take the Apple TV with me and hook up to a projector and watch the pictures and videos we have stored on our Iphone's.
- Asked by Kelly J from Fairhope

AnswerNot 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.- Answered by Sven J from Colorado Springs

Can Apple TV stream local television programs, eliminating the need for antenna or cable?
Does Apple TV. can be used to stream local television programs? I do not have a subscription to cable, fios tv or direct tv., so I use an indoor antenna. Can Apple TV. replace the use of antenna.

Best AnswerYes, kinda. There is a new service called Aereo that is being rolled out which will enable you to skip the antenna alltogether. I wanted to input the link, but that is not allowed. Do a search for Aereo & Apple TV. It is available in NYC now, and will be rolled out to DC later this year. Hope this helps!

Does the apple tv play a full HD picture provided by the device (iPad, iPhone) on the HDTV, or will the picture have the black bars on the side?
- Asked by Grayam D from Liverpool
- 05 21, 13
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerIt mirrors exactly what you see on your device onto the TV screen. If your movie is playing with black bars on either side, it is inherent to the file itself.

Do I need to have wifi if I'm just using ATV to mirror my iPad 4th gen that has its own 4G data plan?
- Asked by Matthew L from Goshen
- 04 19, 13
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerThe Apple TV needs to be connected to the same network (wifi or LAN) that your iPad is connected to in order to stream media from the iPad. The Apple TV doesn't work with cellphone service. Unless you set up your iPad as a hotspot (I think some cellular service companies allow that) so the Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad, the 4G data plan won't help mirror your iPad to the Apple TV.
