Why is Airplay image jerky on my TV?

I am watching a TV show that is running on my computer but projected onto my TV through Apple TV.  The image on my computer is fine but it is jerky on the TV, often freezing and the sound goes in and out.  How do I get a smooth image and sound on my TV?

Hey Ian Chamandy1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing performance issues with AirPlay. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
Try the following suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Why no Airplay for iPhone 3G w iOS 4.2.1?

    I'd like to understand the technical reason that Airplay is not available from an iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1. I understand that the button for Airplay is located in the multitasking tray, and supposedly the iPhone 3G is too slow for multitasking - please don't post a simplistic response like that.
    I want to know (a) why the Airplay button is considered a multitasking feature, (b) whether there was ANY way Apply COULD have allowed the iPhone 3G to use Airplay but decided to blow us 3G users off instead.
    I wish Apple could just be honest about this kind of thing. I had to find this info buried in support. This should have been a prominent part of the iOS 4.2.1 announcement, that the 3G wasn't getting Airplay, and that Apple would just rather stop making new software for the 3G altogether if all us stupid users would just upgrade already.

    I don't know.. but I guess they tried it and found it slowed things down? And that'll be a lesson from a couple of OS updates ago they'll be keen not to repeat!
    While it doesn't feel like multitasking, you're already running whichever App you want to print something, and then calling on AirPrint to do its thing. Given how resource-hungry desktop printer software can be, I can see why it's pushing it on a phone.. however cool

  • Why is the Image in Canvas Square?

    I have about a dozen video clips in my Sequence - they are all DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720x480. The sequence settings are 720x480 NTSC DV (3:2), Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC - CCIR 601 - DV 720/480 and the Compressor DV/DVCPRO - NTSC.
    Question: Why is the image in the Canvas square?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    it looks stretched taller.
    I think you have Anamorphic material.
    Start a new Sequence. Go to Sequence > Settings and click the Anamorphic checkbox.
    Select a clip in the Browser. Press command and 9. Find Anamorphic in the column on the left.
    Click next to it in the Clip column to place a check mark there too.
    Edit into the timeline.
    Does that look better?

    Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

    Check a printable area of your printer.
    Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
    you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
    ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
    the white borders around the printed rectangle.

  • Why do my images look washed out...

    Why do my images look washed out after I have worked in Photoshop CS6 and saved them in Finder? I have been a Photoshop user for a while now and have never experienced this problem. It started 2 months ago and no one can seem to tell me why or how to fix it. I am a professional photographer and I have clients waiting on their images but I can't send them looking as horrible as they do. My workflow is: drag and drop an image from iPhoto or Finder to Photoshop. I change things like levels, contrast, image size and use the healing too. Then I save to Finder so I can upload to dropbox or to website or burn to a DVD. Now when I save the image the thumbnail looks washed out, without color and looks horrible!!! I don't know if my photo files are corrupted or ? If I open the image in Photoshop or Bridge it looks fine. I would be grateful for any suggestions or explanation. Things were working just fine, but not now.

    Examining the image direct from the camera of the child on the beach, using http://regex.info/exif.cgi  there is a small embedded thumbnail (with black bars top-and-bottom to letterbox it to the LCD aspect ratio), and a small preview probably used for zooming in on the camera LCD screen, and the fullsize jpg image all contained in the one JPG file.  All three of these seem to have identical histograms other than the black-bars causing a dark peak on the thumbnail image, but otherwise the shapes of the histograms and the position of the peaks from light to dark are the same. 
    In other words the full-size JPG and the embedded preview and thumbnail all seem the same other than size so the darkened version seen in Finder is not coming from the camera.  The one issue the above website reports is that the camera JPG has a color-profile tag (name of the profile) but does not actually contain the color profile, itself.  All other versions of the image have an actual embedded profile not just the name in a tag.  It is possible that this is confusing Finder into assuming a different profile or gamma curve for the image that sRGB warrants, but most all camera images have this issue so I wouldn't expect a Mac to show images from all cameras as too dark.
    It is a mystery to me why the Finder preview looks darker, but at least in the one side-by-side provided, it does, and is different-looking than all other representations of the image from what I can see.
    At the beginning of this thread you said you were worried the photos coming out of Photoshop were washed out and had bad colors.  From my perspective, what comes out of Photoshop looks the same as what comes out of the camera, so only Finder has it wrong.  Are you seeing the darker image anywhere else besides Finder (and perhaps iPhoto which we don't have a screenshot of)?
    Most importantly does the image you see on screen in Photoshop, while you're making adjustments, look dark like the pre-PS Finder thumbnail or does it look lighter, like the post-PS Finder thumbnail and all the images on DropBox? 
    If more than just the pre-PS Finder thumbnail is darker then you may have a monitor calibration issue that needs to be addressed, otherwise just ignore the pre-PS Finder thumbnail when evaluating if the image needs any adjustments and assume they are all ligher than the Finder image.
    BTW, I tested for a sRGB vs AdobeRGB mismatch, and if an sRGB image is assigned an Adobe profile then the colors become more intense but the whole image does not become darker so that can't explain what is happening. 

  • Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width?

    Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width? I am positive i has all the settings correct, to have an image parallax scroll from the edge of the page into the page and out again. But the images are flying in from the browser width - not the page width. This is not the effect I am after.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? Given the key position is only linked to the height, I can't for the life of me work out how to ensure the images start moving from a certain position onthe left and right of the page.
    Thanks

    I think the effect you are seeing is a result of how the lineHeight is set up. By default, the lineHeight will be calculated as 120% of the size of the largest thing on the line -- in your case, this is the inline graphic. This is designed to leave space between the line before and the line with the graphic. So it is taking the height of the graphic, multiplying by 120%, and making this the distance between the previous line and the line with the graphic. So the bigger the graphic, the bigger the space above the graphic. Normally this works well with text, but in this case you may want to get closer to "set solid". You can do this by setting the lineHeight to 100%. Or you may wish to leave a couple of percent for the descenders of the previous line. Or, another alternative that may work well for you if you really know exactly where you want the line set, you could measure the graphic, add on the number of extra pixels to leave for the descenders, and make the lineHeight a constant. So you could do something like this:
    <img lineHeight="104%" height="411"/>
    or this:
    <img lineHeight="423" height="411"/>
    Obviously you would still need to specify the source and any other parameters you want on the image.
    Note that if you are trying to fit a 200 pixel high graphic into a 200 pixel high container, you will hit the same problem -- in order to fit the graphic, the container will have to be slightly bigger than the graphic in order to fit the descenders on the last line. This is true even if the last line contains only the graphic, and no descenders (or text) at all.
    Hope this helps,

  • Why does my image blink on and off when using selecton tool

    why does my image blink on and off when using selection tool

    This is due to the hardware acclerated drawing not working properly because your graphics hardware doesn't support it right. This is usually resolved by updating the graphics driver to the latest version. If this is not possible, turn off OpenGL in Preferences --> Performance.

  • Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7  240?  When I print it before I drag it into the new file it prints out 6x6.

    Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7  240 image size?  If I print it before I drag it into the 24x7 240 file it prints 6x6.

    What is the number 240 meant to indicate here – the resolution? If so please also give the unit.
    And what are your printer and the print settings you use, could there be any scaling involved in the printing itself?

  • Why does my image 'float around' between keyframes?

    Why does my image 'float around' between keyframes when I'm transforming it? I want it to stay still for a period of time before I make it move again but it kinda floats around even though I didn't ask it to. Help! And thanks!

    You have to set the keyframe interpolation to "linear".
    Control-click on the little icons along the path in the viewer to make that change.
