Air display jittery

I am having trouble with my air display. I use the Ipad as a second monitor with Final Cut, and recently this is becoming such an issue that I have stopped using it. I have a theory that the time machine may be interfering with the software, is there any foundation to this train of thought?

I recently exchanged my MBA to solve a different problem (white screen of death). However, now I'm observing display jitter using an ASUS VW266H display connected via VGA interface. Anybody else having similar problems / solutions?

Air Display for Windows 7 not working

I recently installed Air Display v1.6.1 for my iPad 2 and Air Display for Windows.
Both my laptop and iPad are connected to the same WiFi.
Whenever I click on my iPad's name in Air Display on my laptop, nothing happens. My iPad's screen still stays on the Air Display instruction screen with no flashing of the screen as I see on YouTube videos. Any help would be appreciated .

Hi,
Have a new IMac and am trying to get Isight working in a Parallels Windows 7 VM environment.
Isight works fine in Mac OS (Skye, Oovoo, etc).
Tried to install the drivers from the Mac OS disk (appleisightinstaller.exe) and they appear to be installed okay.
BUT, while the device exists, I cant see any picture or when I click on settings get no settings to change. Additionally, the Isight led on the device never comes on.
Anyone got any ideas as to what I should do.
I have tried:
1. De-installing the driver and reinstalling
2. Have edited the registry in Windows to delete all references
The reason I would like to get this working is I am trying to use Polycom PVX video conferencing software (I need it for work) and so my idea was to run it in a Parallels VM as its only available for Windows.
Hope you can help
Cheers

Welcome to Discussions, Dave (dwinpenny)
I don't use Windows®, but here are a couple things to consider if you have not already done so and do not get better help here.
(1) Does this help you? http://kb.parallels.com/5028
(2) Consider XMeeting as a possible OSX alternative for connecting to your work's Polycom system:

Air Display not working properly after closed and re-opened

I have a late 2013 iMac (21 inch - 8gb of Ram) and am running 10.10.2
After starting the iMac up and choosing Air Display it 'mirrors' webpage videos well through Apple TV.
The problems start when the Air Display 'mirroring' is turned off and then turned on again.
After Air Display 'mirroring' is turned back on the webpage videos stutter and seem to pulse or falter and the only way I can sort the issue out is to re-start the machine and put mirroring on again.
Has anyone encountered this and does anyone have any suggestions about how to sort this problem out ?

I Don't know what type of issue this is.
I Don't use the Airdisplay all that much so singing off the wifi does the trick well enough for me.
MAybe the the latest software update fixed the issue, as I said I don't use this function a lot.

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

New Apple ipad air display not working,please help?

Please can anyone offer help? Week old ipad air display has stopped working after app froze and son double tapped home button to shut app down.Thank you in advance for any offers.

If you are editing/testing in the Flash editor, the html end of things is nothing to be concerned about at this stage, and will likely take care of itself when it comes time.
So you run the file in Flash and do not get any error messages? Then place a trace command inside the button's event handler function to see if the button is communicating with it....
function b_1ClickHandler(e:MouseEvent)
trace("button works");
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.MYURL.com/.html"),"_self");
Also, I'm just noticing you don't have an actual file named in the url, so in case the "not working" is that you can't get the desired page to show, that may be the cause. Normally I would suggest testing url links online rather than in Flash because it's iffy to try to get the web involved with the editor at times.

Air Display and iPad Question

I am thinking about using Air Display on my iPad and on my iMac so my iPad can serve as a second monitor.
From reading as much as I can find about Air Display, I see that the 2 systems communicate via WiFi.
My question - I am assuming both systems communicate from one IP address to the other. If both IP addresses are on the same LAN, does the communications remain within the local network or do they go out on the internet and back in? My internet connection is via satellite and has a finite download limit per month. If the communications goes out on the internet and then back into my LAN, I would have a capacity problem.
At $30 for both software pieces, I would rather have this question answered before I spend the money and do my own testing. Surely someone has made this test before.
Thanks
Adrian

Hi Adrian.
First, for faster responses, please contact our support team at http://avatron.com/support. I just happened onto your message here because it showed up in a Google Alert, but I often ignore those because they're mostly breaking news about Royal Air Force air displays in the UK and whatnot.
Anyway, two things:
First, Air Display won't cost you $30. You only pay for the client (the part that runs on the machine that will be used as a monitor). The host software is absolutely free. So, if you are using an iPad as a monitor for your iMac, you would only pay $9.99 for the iOS client. If you are using a Mac as a monitor for another Mac, you would buy the Mac app for $19.99 in the Mac App Store (or from our web site).
Second, Air Display does not route your data through any device outside your local network. You can even run on an ad hoc network between your iMac and your iPad. No Internet connection is necessary. The only communication to the Internet is for administrative tasks, like when the host software periodically checks our server to see if a software update is available.
Cheers!

Air Display 2 only worked on mirror mode not second monitor

I'm using PC Win 7 enterprise and IPAD Air. IPAD Air installed with Air Display 2.
The Air Display 2 only worked fine when on 'mirror mode', but not working as secondary monitor. IPAD display colour in 'blue' and able to activate the keybaord.
Need tips how to fix the problem to work as extended monitor.

Hi Nagesh,
    Please check the following sample programs. It uses splitter container. I think this suits your requirement.
RSDEMO_EASY_SPLITTER_CONTROL
RSDEMO_SPLITTER_CONTROL
Sample code:
       split_container_left type ref to cl_gui_container,
       split_container_right type ref to cl_gui_container,
       splitter_h type ref to cl_gui_splitter_container,
       splitter_v type ref to cl_gui_splitter_container,
create object splitter_h
          exporting
          parent = cl_gui_container=>screen0
          rows = 5
          columns = 5 .
split_container_left = splitter_h->get_container( row = 1 column = 1 ).
split_container_right = splitter_h->get_container( row = 1 column = 2 ).
        create object splitter_v
           exporting
           parent = split_container_left
           rows = 5
           columns = 5.
Please award points if this is useful.
Thanks,

Air Display can't update

Does anyone know why this is happening? I use an app called Air Display on my iPad to use as an extra monitor for my iMac, and the Host can't update. I've had no problems in the past on Mountain Lion, but since upgrading to Mavericks, I can't update. Whenever it says there is an update available and I try to install it, the below screenshot happens:
Despite it saying "the new version will be available next time you run Air Display Host" it's still the old version. And it keeps asking me to update, which I can't. I've done reboots, full shut downs, etc. and I can't get it to work.

Hi. Sorry about that! We had a bad updater a couple of months ago. You just need to go to our website and download the host software afresh. Just point your browser to avatron.com/d to download.

When will the ability to Air Display my desktop to my Apple TV become available?

I know that I can Air Display to my iPad from my computer and then Air Play to my Apple Tv, but this seems like too much of a hassle and would just slow the connection feed. I would believe it is a simple process to add and would be thrilled to show everyone the new capabilites of my Apple TV.
If you could Apple, please look into this for the thousands of users that would enjoy this feature.

You can already do this.
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). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

Air Display app for Mac Air???

Will Air Display app for Mac enable me to use my Mac Air display on a larger, Windows monitor? Thanks.

Yes, but not the Mac app, the Windows app. Just buy the Windows version of the Air Display app from the Avatron web site: http://getairdisplay.com, and download the free Air Display video drivers for your Mac.
You can try the Windows app for free for up to an hour of connection before deciding whether or not to buy.

Will Air Display work on my Mac 10.5.8?

So i just downloaded Air Display in hopes of making my desktop Mac a second monitor for my Macbook Pro. The desktop is version 10.5.8 and is having troubles downloading the software. I may be doing the installation steps wrong.. I have no idea. Any suggestions?

Air Display Turns Off After 10-15 mins - Why? What's the fix?

I recently upgraded to OSX10.8 on my early 2012 mac mini. I have been using AirDisplay as my screen.
I've run into an problem. The AirDisplay prefpane now turns itself off after 10-15 mins if its not being used. It also doesn`t activate on reboot.
This is obviously a problem as I don‘t have a monitor.
I started to use logmein instead, but its not ideal as its mouse isn’t quite as usable (it works in the current release after many months of bugs and patchy performance).
I've been going back and forth with Avatron for a few weeks (they've been very supportive), and they proposed two solutions:
Uninstall / reinstall using a newly downloaded package
Delete the hidden com.avatron preference files
Neither has worked.
I also made a rather pathetic to write an applescript to select the menu app item "Turn Air Display On" , but I didn't really know what I was doing (here's my poor effort below). As I didn‘t get this working when the menu option was available, I didn’t proceed.
tell application "System Events"
     set UI_Enabled to UI elements enabled
          tell application process "AirDisplayStatusItem"
          entire contents
               tell menu bar 1
                    tell menu bar item 1
                         click menu item "Turn Air Display On"
                    end tell
               end tell
     end tell
end tell
get entire contents of application process "AirDisplayStatusItem" returns
--> {menu bar 1 of application process "AirDisplayStatusItem", menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 of application process "AirDisplayStatusItem"}
Result:
error "System Events got an error: Can’t get menu item \"Turn Air Display On\" of menu bar 1 of application process \"AirDisplayStatusItem\"." number -1728 from menu item "Turn Air Display On" of menu bar 1 of application process "AirDisplayStatusItem
Has anyone any ideas on how to resolve this?

This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver). Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver). BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time. See http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-us/ace4085a-b0ba-4a98-898d-cd92d9e88e13/window... for some detail.

Does photoshop elements work with air display from avatron?

I want to use photoshop elements with air display from avatron. Its necessary use pressure sensitive.

Photoshop Elements only specifically works with touchscreens when it comes to gestures (moving your finger(s) in a specific motion to get a special behavior). Otherwise, the touch screen should act exactly like a mouse. My guess here is that this is simply a question of precision. If you try to "click" and drag a corner of the crop interface, does the crop rectangle move or rotate instead of change size?
