2 Airport Extermes, WDS, Macbook Pro and apple tv.

So i have 1 extreme connected to the cable modem. It is setup as the main, a second is setup as remote and there is also a PS3 plugged into it. I just upgraded my macbook pro to the N wireless card.
The network is 802n (b/g) compatible. There are no other choices with N (even holding down control).
So I go to copy a file wirelessly to my apple tv from the macbook pro and the fastest transfer speeds I am seeing is 150Kb/sec. Why is the transfer speed so slow! This is really frustrating. Copy files over a network is supposed to be fast.

Since you are using WDS the network is using 802.11g. The unfortunate part of WDS is that each WDS link cuts your available bandwidth in half.
So upgrading your MacBook Pro to 802.11n really didn't gain you anything when you use WDS.
If both of your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) are 802.11n capable, you should use 802.11n's "extend network" feature instead of WDS. This doesn't have nearly the bandwidth penalty that WDS does.

    can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • How do I synch my iPhone5, MacBook Pro and Apple TV so that my iTunes downloads appear automatically on all three devices?

    How do I synch my iPhone5, MacBook Pro and Apple TV so that my iTunes downloads appear automatically on all three devices?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • Best stand for MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display

    I am buying a MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display tomorrow. I want to have a two display setup, similar to what I have seen in the Apple Store. I believe they used a Griffin Elevator. I want to make sure of two things: that the stand is sturdy enough so that my laptop won't slide off of it and that I can adjust the stand/monitor so that the tops are level (so that moving my mouse from the laptop to monitor and back is smooth - i.e. the cursor doesn't jump up or down.
    I like the fact that I can use this setup to go mobile very quickly, but what about my direct Ethernet connection. I wish there were a stand/dock such that I could hook everything up to it and then just undock the entire machine.

    How did you solve the problem of closing the Macbook Pro when it was connected to the display and preventing it from going to sleep?
    I am thinking about buying one. When I went to the local Apple Store the tech guys told me that it would be necessary to keep the laptop open slightly when connecting it to the display. They said it was something to do with cooling. It didn't sound right to me. I'm sure that Apple didn't solely intend for the Cinema Displays to be used by Mac Pro and Mac Mini users.
    There must be a simple way to "dock" or connect a Mac laptop (Macbook Pro or Macbook) to an Apple Cinema display or any other display with DVI input while keeping the laptop closed with an external keyboard and mouse connected and still be able to use the SuperDrive.
    I'm very curious about how you handled this.
    All the best for now,
    Ambrose

  • Airplay mirroring between my MacBook Pro and Apple TV (1080p one) has always worked fine until now. I only sometimes get video but usually just audio. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

    When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

    I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
    I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly!

  • Airplay not working on new macbook pro and apple tv2

    i have a new macbook pro and new apple tv device and have used them together easily. However, now I can't find the apple tv icon on the top bar and have searched everywhere for it, turning off and on the home sharing, restarting the apple tv. any other hints, or is it just something basic...I am new to apple products...
    Thanks

    Doing the reset resolved this issue for me as well.  Not sure why it worked over the restart, but I'll take it.
    My issue was that my MBP-R would not connect with AirPlay.  I had the icon in the top bar and everything.  When I would try to connect it, it would hang for about a minute, then just kick back with nothing happening.

  • 13" MacBook Pro and Apple 27" LED Display Not Sleeping Properly

    I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,1) and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. When they are connected the computer occasionally has a problem being put to sleep. When clicking sleep, the monitor will take a little while to shut off, but in about 10 seconds, it will turn back on. Immediately when turning on, the image on the screen is quite scrambled (it does correct itself). Usually, if I attempt to put it to sleep multiple times, it will end up working. When it does go to sleep (correctly), the screen will turn off much faster than the times where it doesn't sleep.
    Anyone else have a similar issue they found a fix to? When speaking to Apple support, they thought it was part of an issue with 10.6.6, however, the update to 10.6.7 did not solve the issue.
    PS - I keep my MacBook Pro lid closed when using the display.

    By the way, please be aware of a scam - iyogi 
    Online Technical Support - Call (AU Toll Free) 1-800-029-076.
      www.iyogi.com/Apple-Support
    I saw Apple support and called the number, it ended when I was asked to pay to fix my problem.
    I'm not aware of the company, but from what you said I don't see how that's a scam. The advert clearly only says the call is free, not the support. Why should they give free technical support?

  • Questions about my MacBook Pro and Apple Support.

    I was an early adopter of the Intel Mac Platform. Got my first Mac (my MacBook Pro) in April 06. It was not part of the battery recall, but I have had numerous problems. I cannot keep the machine running more than 3-5 hours without it shutting down or just locking up. The case has popped slightly (about 1mm) open on the front left. I cannot use the function keys for the heat. And I know that I need to use Apple Support, but let me tell you: I have not been impressed with Apple Support.
    My Mac was sent back for "repair" in October, and returned to me less than 6 days later. When I received it, it had a preloaded user account (complete with password!) for a user (not me) that I didn't recognize. And still had the same heat/random shutdown symptoms. Upon calling Apple Support, I was told that there wasn't anything that could be done. In fact, on one phone call I was just flat-out told that I should "just go buy another one". I could go on at length about my experiences with Apple Support.
    So here is my question:
    Is there a magic phone number, person I can contact to actually get something done about this? I have had less than 3 total months of usable time on my Mac. (I have been dealing with Apple Support since last June.) Please help. I just want my Mac to work. I know that this is just a fluke; and that my woes are the exception, not the rule.
    Thanks

  • HT5167 can`t install it on Apple MacBook Pro and Apple Air, Why

    Update 10.7.4 don`t let install on Mac Book Pro and also on Apple Air

    If installing on 10.7.2, 10.7.1, or 10.7.0, you need to use the Combo update. If installing on 10.7.3, you can use the Delta update form Apple's website or Software Update application on the same Mac.  You can't use the Delta update from Software Update application on another Mac on your Mac unless they are identical model and vintage. If installing on 10.6.8 or earlier, you must pay for 10.7 Mac App Store, or use a 10.7 installer USB stick first before applying it to your machine.  Note: 10.7 does not support Rosetta.  For other 10.7 pitfalls read this tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465
    Make sure all your software and hardware is ready for 10.7.4 before installing, and backup your data at least twice before installing, and disconnect the backup from your machine before installing.

  • MacBook Pro and Apple DVI to Video Adapter

  • Conflict between home sharing from MacBook Pro and airplay from ipad / iPhone?

    Just bought an Apple TV, and set it up yesterday. Everything works fine, with one exception. When I have iTunes open and home sharing turned on the Apple TV, when trying to mirror airplay from my ipad 4th gen or my iPhone 5s, I get nothing on the Apple TV, just black screen. It also makes the device run really sluggish.
    I've definitely narrowed it down to this conflict, quitting iTunes on the MacBook Pro immediately resolves the issue. So no big deal, right? Just turn off itunes. Except the whole point of buying the Apple TV is to have a central point I can stream all my media in the house from, I'd like to have my MacBook Pro, iMac, ipad and iPhone able to take control of the Apple TV without having to run across the house to turn iTunes on or off on the computers.
    This only happens when mirroring, normal airplay audio or video works just fine. MacBook Pro and Apple TV are hard wired Ethernet, ipad on wifi.
    Is this a known conflict? Is there any solution?

    Normally there ought to be an airplay button in the top menu bar (where also the battery, wifi, clock, etc are located). And in display settings at the bottom there ought to be a drop down menu labelled Airplay Display.
    If not, it seems that your Apple TV cannot be found. Are both on the same network? Have you enabled AirPlay in the Apple TV (Settings -> AirPlay set to On)?

  • Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.

    Hi a,
    http://www.mctiviausa.com/
    There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
    It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen.
