We've all been there: Game of Thrones season three leads to procrastination, procrastination leads to last-minute late-night cram sessions, which lead to frustration and anger, which leads to hate. But seriously, if you're in emergency finals study mode, we've got a pro tip to maximize your study time.

What you'll need:

An iPad, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro (2011 or later), or iMac
An Apple TV
A big-screen TV
An Internet connection

Use AirPlay Mirroring to display study guides with the group or put research and word documents side by side for a superproductive paper-writing session. Connect to AirPlay by turning on your Apple TV device and heading to System Preferences > Displays > Turn on mirroring. The Apple TV device will appear in the menu bar. Make sure your iOS device is running 4.3 or later and that both the laptop/iOS device and Apple TV are connected to the same WiFi network.

If you're reviewing material, then make sure that the audio is coming out of your HDTV by going to System Preferences > Sound > Output and selecting AirPlay.

Happy finals! Make sure you're eating right, getting plenty of sleep, and staying fit.

iTunes 10.1 Download Brings Airplay Action

If you're one of the many who bought a new Apple TV this year, then the latest iTunes 10.1 download is something you'll want to jump on right away.

by Kristy Korcz

If you're one of the many who bought a new Apple TV this year, then the latest iTunes 10.1 download is something you'll want to jump on right away. The download brings some stability and performance enhancements and syncs with your iOS devices (iOS 4.2 update said to be coming today as well), but most importantly it brings Airplay.

Steve Jobs talked about Airplay during the Apple TV announcement back in September, and it's one of the many reasons I'd recommend the Apple TV to the TV- and movie-watching masses, and now you can stream movies and TV shows right from your iTunes account. You should see the iTunes 10.1 update pop up on your Mac, but you can always head to Apple's iTunes page to download it from there as well.

by POPSUGAR Tech

After last week's Apple event, I've been pretty excited to test out the upcoming AirPlay feature on the iPad and new Apple TV. Now, iHome has me even more pumped with its new line of AirPlay-enabled speakers that are coming this holiday.

The iHome AirPlay speakers will presumably connect to your home's WiFi signal, allowing you to stream your tunes via your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch from anywhere in your house. Details about the systems are scarce now, but I'm sure like all iHome products, they should provide seamless integration with your various Apple iDevices.
