Apple TV mirroring only working for iTunes

When I first got my apple TV, my Macbook Pro 17" worked with display mirroring.  After upgrading to OSX 10.8.1, only iTunes will mirror to the TV.  I have tried rebooting all devices ...
What gives/
Why did this break!?    
Thanks!
sean

It is a "last generation" Macbook pro I bought right before the retina displays came out and the 17 inch disappeared from the apple store.  The apple TV was bought 2 months ago.  Its the newest version on the latest software as well...

  • I cannot access icloud using my apple id, although it works for itunes account

    Initial problem was when starting icloud for first time it continued indicating "upgrading" this went on for hours.  I exited and tried to log in icloud again but this time I got the message "unsupported apple id" although this is my id and email adrress. I don't know how to overcome this.

    Greetings gshirref,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are receiving an error that you are using an unsupported Apple ID while trying to sign into iCloud. For information on this alert, please review the attached article. 
    iCloud: Account troubleshooting - Apple Support
    I get an “Unsupported Apple ID” error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works with the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or other Apple services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you can't use your Apple ID with any Apple services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.

  • Bluetooth Headset only works for iTunes not in web browser?

    I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. I've reconnected both of my Plantronics Headsets and have been able to use them with iTunes. Today I wanted to watch some shows on Hulu, and while the bluetooth "appears" to be connected, when I select Use Plantronics for mono audio, I can't hear anything. I've disconnected, re-connected, rebooted, etc., and I can't seem to get it to work in any browser.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    I use the Nokia BH-804with my Pc (win 7) no problems, only thing is i also use this medialink USB adapter as my laptop does not have bluetooth embedded (yea i know im behind the times) While that may not be much help to you it could be because the 505 is stereo?? Meaning your OS/computer does support bluetooth but no the A2DP profile? 

  • Mini-HDMI Port: Video OK, sound only works for iTunes

    Let me start by saying, I'm pretty new to Mac so please be gentle with your answers...
    I just got a new HD Samsung TV and have connected it to my Macbook Pro through the Mini-HDMI port. There are two HDMI inputs on my TV, DVI and ARC. I'm using DVI. The video displays perfectly but I'm having a little trouble with sound.
    Once I went to system preferences and switched the audio output method to "SAMSUNG - HDMI" my iTunes music began playing through the TV speakers. I played a .wmv video from my hard drive; sound and audio all worked well. However, when I attempt to play anything through the Internet, Youtube, Hulu, Pandora, no sound... I still get video, and if I switch the Output source back to "Internal Speakers - Built-In" there's no problem. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm using Google Chrome as my Internet Browser.
    I've double/triple checked the sites to make sure the local audio levels aren't being muted, and that doesn't seem to be the case. Is there a setting somewhere that references only Internet, or more specifically, Google Chrome audio Output levels?
    PLEASE HELP...
    Thanks

    The "Front" channel isn't the same thing as the front panel. From the ALSA wiki:
    "Front, Surround, Center, LFE (subwoofer) and Side (these are the names of the channels with Intel HD Audio, they may vary with different hardware)."
    How many sounds cards do you have?

    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    [dspider@arch ~]$
    What are the other HDMI devices? The video card?
    And have you tried googling the problem?

  • I know I am a luddite but if I am streaming content on my Ipad from a TV station can I get it to appear on Apple TV or does it only work for things in my itunes library?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
    I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please leave details in the comments at the bottom of the User Tip or email me if you don't have commenting privileges.

  • Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

    My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

    one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file.  Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing  even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
    This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer.   Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar.     Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
    Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
    Ideas?

  • I'm using iTunes 9 and I recently just bought AirPort Express. I have used it before in the past put the problem I have now is that I cannot select the Express network for my speakers. Does Airport Express only work with iTunes 10 or 11?

  • I have a Belgian Apple ID, but want to use the UK i-tunes store.  I get a dialogue box saying "The Apple ID is only valid for purchases in The Belgian iTunes store".  Is there any way around this?  Thanks, Jackie

    When you move to Portugal (very nice, I've just come back from visiting Cascais/Sintra/Sines ) I think you'll just get re-directed to Portuguese iTunes. When I moved to France from the UK  I got re-directed to the French store.
    To view UK programmes in France I used to subscribe to a VPN server through https://www.my-private-network.co.uk/ (there are others, but very pleased with their service). The catch-up channels (iPlayer, etc) think you're in the UK so you can watch the programmes online. Wouldn't work with iTunes UK store though .

  • There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

  • I need to change from Japan App Store to Australia App Store. I get this every time I try using My MacID: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." What next TY. JohnCahill

    I moved from Japan to Australia. I need to change from Japan App Store to the Australian App Store. I get the following message every time I try using My MacID which was set up in Japan: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." At one point... by which path I do not remember... I was instructed to created a new ID. I fill out the new ID forms, but the address is rejected each time... quite confusing. Does it want a new name? But it says I cannot use an apple domain (tag?) even though I guess it has to be an apple address... ? So I have iTunes crdit cards purchansed in Australia, can't spend in AUstralian iTunes Store, get directed back to Japan each time, and can't open a new ID... What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.  John. Australia.

    You must have a separate Apple ID registered in the other store along with a valid bank-issued charge card in the other country, and a legal billing address in the other country.
    Sorry... But... You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country..

    If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem.  I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

  • ITUNES ONLY WORKS FOR 5 MINUTES AT A TIME

    iTunes stopped working about a month ago, but then I fixed it using the msconfig solution. It worked for a while now I have the same problem, i can fix it, but then iTunes only works for about five minutes before closing. This is the only way I can fix it; first, by re-installing iTunes, then, doing the msconfig solution and restarting the computer. Then after about 5 minutes it closes. To open it again I have to go through the whole proccess. I cannot figure out how to permanently fix it.

    Sounds like you have some malware that is interfering with iTunes.
    What do you have to turn off in msconfig to get iTunes working?
    It's pretty involved to remove it. If you have purchased security software like Norton or McAfee, I suggest contacting them for help.
    Otherwise try this

  • This apple id is only valid for purchases in the australian itunes store. I'M BRITISH!

    PLEASE READ
    So my mum just bought a phone today, she's not really a techy person so she bought a cheap iPhone 3GS and she asked me to set it up for her.
    I made a new email address for her and made an Apple ID for her. I just verified the email for her with Apple and it opened my iTunes and a message popped up and it said "This apple id is only valid for purchases in the australian itunes store. You will be switched to that store".
    I don't know why this has happened, i've used mine for my iPhone for ages and that's had no problems.
    We live in the UK and we always have, so why's it saying this?
    Any help please?
    Thank you.

    WOW, OK. I just changed my country to UK. And now i'm entering my mums bank stuff, and the address already there is someone in australia. Earlier on it said that my mums email (that i made 10 mins before) already exists. So i reset the password. So how can there be 2 email addresses that are the same? I'm lost!
    I'm just gonna make a whole new email with a whole new apple id! No more hotmail for me.
