@rhymon78 Yes it should

Seriously? This is the only way to do this? This is the only reason I bought an apple tv!

@danradl as far as i know this is the only way to fully mirror your mac screen to your tv, apple hasn't add the functionality to do it from the Mac straight to Apple Tv yet but we're hoping they will add it soon, until then this is it

does your mac have to be connected to the tv?

Does the image projection works with only the IPAD 2 and a regular TV?

How come when I do it, it lags a lot. On your video it looks very fast. Also does my iPad have to be on the whole time?

@H2TechVideos The lag makes it practically worthless!
