Newbie Apple TV user with a few queries?
Finally got decent broadband speed so thought I'd treat myself to Apple TV. My first gripe is that the little remote that comes with it also controls my Macbook, is there anyway to stop this? I need my Macbook on to stream videos and music, but when I'm using the remote for Apple TV it starts messing with the volume on my Macbook, and also will start music playing whenever I press the enter button or play button on the little remote :-/ I know I can use the remote app on my iphone, but it would be nice if I could use the physical remote too.
Secondly, can I stream music across from my Macbook or iphone 5 to play through Apple TV, or is the only way to play my music collection via iCloud using iTunes match?
In order to watch movies from my Macbook on Apple TV do they have to be in iTunes, or can I somehow play any movies stored on my Macbook? Maybe mirroring or something?
Can I view photos through Apple TV from my Macbook, or do I have to use photostream? I don't like photostream as I seem to end up with duplicates across devices, and also I don't have enough storage anyway.
Any help greatly appreciated 😎
