Hey there Megan,
You may be able to use AirPlay to stream your video and music to your new Smart TV. It does require an Apple TV to do this and here is some additional info to see if your computer supports AirPlay:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
Requirements for AirPlay in OS X
An Apple TV
- Apple TV (2nd generation or later) with software update v5.0 or later.
- AirPlay turned on in the Settings menu of the Apple TV.
A supported Mac
AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:
- iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
- Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)
Which Mac do I have?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
