How Do I Connect Apple TV on Mac to stream photos onto Sony Smart TV? Years ago I had an Apple TV box and was able to stream home videos, photos, etc onto our TV from the Mac. I've been trying for weeks to do a variety of things to interface but to no avail. And I'm up to my ears in googled Apple Support...none of which seems to apply. I have Apple TV on the Mac as well as on the 2018 Sony Smart TV. But I can't get the Apple TV app on the Sony to display "Library" so I can select something from my computer to watch. It also doesn't help that Sony is an android platform with Chromecast which doesn't interface with iPhone. And I'm pretty sure I don't have AirPlay on this TV. I've signed into both with Apple ID...but I'm about to just buy the Apple Box again and plug it in... as that seems the only way to make this happen. Help!

You will use AirPlay to stream a/v content from your Mac to the AppleTV device which is connected to your television, presumably via the HDMI port.

This is some of Apple's guidance on using and setting up the feature:

Stream video and audio with AirPlay - Apple Support

Use AirPlay to stream audio and video to Apple TV 4K - Apple Support
