Compatibility Mac with Samsung smart TV

I have a Macbook Air (OS X 10.11.1) computer and a smart Samsung LED TV on the same network home wireless.  I want to be able to reflect the screen of the computer on the TV and use the TV to play video files and display photos stored on the computer.  I contacted Samsung and the representative said that the TV software is not currently compatible with OS X.  Are there any third party software that can solve this problem? (I read something called VUZE but I'm not sure that's the answer.)

Hi fl401,

Looks like the product you're looking for the Apple TV.  This unit uses your wireless internet connection to listen to all that play on your Mac to your TV via a process called AirPlay.  The latest version also has its own dedicated applications.   Here is some information on Apple TV:

  • Cannot connect samsung smart tv to laptop hotspot.

    Separated from this thread.

    I'm having the same problem.  I use Hotspot on the Sprint for Internet network on laptop and TV.  Hotspot and mobile connected properly.  On the first attempt, everything went well past and Samsung Smart Tv connected without any problem.  I could turn on Netflix and watch 2 movies.  The next day, I was unable to connect the TV to the Internet, but he has been connected to the Hotspot signal on phone.  Everything is good with HotSpot connection and worked for hours with Netflix.  I am obviously missing a step that I had done before.  The answer is Yes, Smart TV will connect to the hotspot.  Uncertain of the WIFI.  Hope that helps.  If you find new info, please let us know.

  • IPad to a Samsung Smart TV mirroring?

    I had a fire of Amazon Kindle which was stolen.  I decided to upgrade to an iPad 2 air.  I used to use the screen of mirroring between my Kindle and my Samsung Smart TV and I just assumed that an incredibly more expensive upgrade would also have this simple feature but NOOOOOOooooo, Apple does not support mirroring of the screen!  Really, Apple?  Sometimes I feel that I am in the prison of Apple.

    Kindle and Samsung use the Android OS, then Yes you can be mirrored between the two devices. Apple uses iOS, Android not. They do not support mirroring for devices that are compatible with the iOS. If you want to mirror for your purchase of Samsung Smart TV and Apple TV.

  • XAC1900 and Samsung Smart TV

    I just started to use the XAC1900 and noticed that I can play is no longer the meida on my Samsung Smart TV (series 8) files that are on a PC.

    The TV is connected to the router as the PC hosting media files.

    Interesting, I can see the files when I browse using Samsung browser but when I try to play a file, it is "Please check your network connection.

    It happens with video and photos.

    I am able to read files stored on an external hard drive connected to the USB port on routers.  Although it seems a little hurt.

    Also interesting is that I can not access internet and YouTube works perfectly.

    I don't think it's a problem of format of file at the end of the TV that I could access the same media with the other router.

    Have updated the firmware on the TV and router.

    Any suggestions?

    It's weird! What is the operating system of the PC? Maybe you can try to use another computer to isolate the situation.

    Because you have updated the firmware, it is best to reset the router and do a reboot before reconfiguring.

  • DRM Flash access and Samsung smart tv

    I would like to confirm if we read content DRM with Adobe Access on Samsung Smart TV (2013-SDK 4.5). So far, I played back the DRM content with success on the desktop and Android but I couldn't get it to work on the smart TV Samsung. I lowered my AIR application to the AIR version 2.6 (it worked fine on my desktop) and installed on the TV, but when I tried to play, I got error 3307 (internal error). This error occurred when trying to create DRM metadata by using _drmContentData = new DRMContentData (drmProtectedContent);

    Could someone please tell me if I can play content DRM Adobe Access on the Samsung Smart TV?

    Thank you very much.

    Any help or idea be will greatly appreciate.

    Hi Hiroshi,

    For anyone interested in creating an AIR application to read DRM on the Samsung Smart TV content. Below, was the response of Samsung Dev team:

    "

    Hello

    According to my knowledge, we cannot play DRM content with Adobe Access using AIR, you can only do in RTMP/RTMPe using flash. AIr is supported with the Flash.

  • What is compatibility: Mac 10.8.3 & CS3 & DNG version?

    What is compatibility: Mac 10.8.3 & CS3 & DNG version?

    I don't know anything about the Mac. But you always want to use the latest version of the DNG Converter. Don't forget to set your options for compatibility in the DNG Converter to match your version of Camera Raw. In your case it would choose the option that will ensure that your DNG files will be compatible with Camera Raw 4.6.

  • Unlock Mac with Apple Watch stopped working

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Sierra and my Apple Watch shows OS 3 - for a period of time the new feature release of my Mac with Apple Watch worked very well

    He stopped and the option no longer appears in Settings/Security and confidentiality on the Mac - I suspect its because I had to change the password on my Apple ID - I think that if I could the closing of the session of this identifier on the watch and log back on it would start working again - but I don't see a way to check out of a Apple ID on the watch or the watch app on the iPhone (7plus)

    I guess I have unfair and then re pair the watch with the phone but that seems a little drastic, so do it before, I thought that I would like to ask a question to the community in the case where someone knows a way to check out of your Apple ID on the watch I don't know - I tried searchingGoogle but cannot find anything on this topic

    This seems to be fixed by my achievement and my Apple Watch with my iPhone repair - of course I don't know if it will happen again - I suspect (and its only that) is the problem has been caused by my change the password on my Apple ID - but when I went to watch outstanding I was asked for my password Apple ID and he accepted the new password
