Streaming Video From a MacBook With AirPlay


Connect your Apple TV to a television with an HDMI cable for the highest-quality sound and video. If your TV doesn't have an available HDMI port, use a three-component video cable and two-component audio cable. Connect your Apple TV's left and right audio ports to your TV's corresponding inputs and match your Apple TV's green, blue and red video ports to your TV's Y, Pb and Pr ports, respectively.
Connect your Apple TV to the Internet by turning it on and following the on-screen prompts. Use your Apple TV Remote's Up and Down buttons to select a network from the list and press the middle button to join the network. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter your password if your network is encrypted. After joining your network, your TV displays a five-digit passcode for pairing with iTunes.
Pair your Apple TV with iTunes by entering the passcode in iTunes on your MacBook. Launch iTunes and press “Command-S” to show the sidebar. Select “Apple TV” in the Devices section and enter the passcode when prompted.
Enable AirPlay in iTunes by clicking the “AirPlay” icon in the status bar and selecting “Apple TV” from the drop-down list. On your television, browse your iTunes video collection by selecting “Computer” and choosing a title with the Apple Remote's left or right button. Press the middle button to Play.
Turn on AirPlay Mirroring to display your MacBook's video output on your television. This feature works separately from AirPlay streaming in iTunes, so close iTunes before enabling AirPlay Mirroring. Click the “AirPlay” icon on your Mac's status bar and select “Apple TV” from the drop-down list. In the Match Desktop Size menu, choose “Apple TV” to convert your MacBook's resolution to widescreen dimensions that match your television. After a moment, your Mac desktop appears on your TV screen.
Stream Web video to your television by opening a Web browser on your Mac and visiting a streaming video site, such as Hulu, Dailymotion or Vimeo (see Resources for links). Watch a video on your television by starting playback from your MacBook and clicking “Fullscreen.”

How to Design an iPhone Game (7 Steps)


Go to the Apple Developers website to confirm your computer and operating system are compatible with the development software. Read through the site to familiarize yourself with the Apple Developer Program. While the tools can be downloaded for free, you have to enroll in either the Standard Program or Enterprise Program to distribute your games through Apple's App Store. Both programs require a fee to join, but they provide the necessary development resources for testing and distribution.
Sign up to become a registered iPhone developer to proceed to download the tools.
Download the iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit) with Xcode IDE. The Apple site also has downloads available for the interface builder, compilers and shark analysis, as well as frameworks and samples.
Download the iPhone simulator. Use the iPhone simulator to test the program you are building on a virtual iPhone interface on your computer.
Familiarize yourself with Objective-C programming language. Prepare to do a lot of reading. While doing so, experiment with your development tools to understand the way things work.
Take extra care in debugging and error-proofing your software. Try to break your programs when you test them. Perform unusual game play. Touch screen game play, while principally similar to standard mouse game play, opens up possibilities for innovation as well as for critical errors. Not only is careful programming necessary, but seeking problems and conflicts trains you to think ahead and become a more efficient programmer.
Join forums and learn from your fellow developers. If you are stuck on a problem, seek the help of the iPhone programming community. Stay active in the forums to open possibilities that you have not previously considered. Keep at it and don't give up.
