Airplay broken if only connected display is VNC

Hello everyone,
I'd like to use my MACMINI (i5/2012) for Streamining the entire Screen to Apple TV via Airplay. For that reason I've updated the MACMINI to OS X Mountain Lion.
The MACMINI runs headless, what means, that that there is no physical display-device plugged. I am connected to the MACMINI from my MAC-BOOK Air via VNC.
What I get on the TV-Screen looks like that:
I've found another description of the same problem somewhere in the internet and I adopted the photo there.
Here is the link to that other Problem-Description:

Can anyone help me?
Thanks for reply,
Thomas

I can verify this also. It's not super importatn in the scheme of things, but will be nice to have fixed.

HT4437 Can you only connect iPhone 4S to Apple TV via AirPlay

Can you only connect iPhone 4S to Apple TV via AirPlay

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's only the iPhone 4S and 5 that will allow mirroring, earlier models will allow basic AirPlay.

When I launch iTunes on the PC, iTunes will not connect to Airplay speakers. Only after a new start of iTunes a connection is established.

Thank you for the suggestion, but the 'clean' install of iTunes (which I did twice) didn't do the trick.
Anybody else have a clue?
I spoke with Apple Care, who was also stumped. They think it might be a hardware issue (but were probably just giving up on working with me because it was free service/I haven't paid the $50). Still seems awfully coincidental that my Airport (1st Gen - about 4 years old) would stop being able to stream music through iTunes simultaneously with the iTunes update...

How can i fix my iphone 3g if and only it displays the apple logo when it is connected to its charger but it displays nothing when the charger is removed?

Plug it into a wall outlet and leave it plugged in for approximately 20 minutes.
Then try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds.
Does the device power on at this point? If not, the battery or logic board is gone.
Take it to Apple for evaluation.
It may be worth replacing the battery, but I personally wouldn't spend the $149US for an Out of Warranty replacement on a 3+yr old device.

TS5148 When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".

When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported". I have updated my Apple TV, tried restarting it, and have tried using my IPod Touch all without any luck. This display has worked in the past. This just happen a couple days ago.
Any ideas out there?

I have been successfully using my Apple TV with my iPad2 to access Netflix through airplay (mirroring) and suddenly it won't work. It says "the connected display is not supported" What's up?
Also when I try to stream Netflix through my Apple TV menu on my television it says "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later. But trying again later doesn't work any better.
Now the only way I can watch Netflix is using my small iPad screen. It appears the problem is with streaming Netflix through my Apple TV

Why does my iPhone 5 only connect to wifi when it's with in 5 feet of the server

I Up graded to an i phone 5 s. From a 4 and the 5 will only connect to the wifi at home when I am with in a few feet of the server my 4 worked all over the house and even in the back yard. But now I can't even be in the hallway and keep connection. Other. I phone 4s have a good connection throughout the house and other iPhone. 5. Are the same as mine it seems a s though there may be a poor quality antenna on e new iPhone 5 s models and a lesser quality of a product this seems to be a trend with iPhone and it is very disappointing. Is there anything that can be done and also could you start building your newer products with better performance parts. (If it's not broke don't fix it). I want my iPhone 4 back lol. I have done a hard reset to resolve my issue and I have checked my wifI signal side by side with other phones and I pad. Please let me know if anything can be done thanks you

if this is the case with all wifi routers then I would say that the wifi antenna of the iphone5 is broken or not connected

"Cannot play video - The Connected display is not supported" error message using Netflix 5.0.2 on my iPad

I'm running iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen) and have just upgraded to the current version of the Neflix app available in the Canadian App Store (5.0.2).
Although all other apps I've tried (e.g. Podcast, VLC) are able to properly output video & audio directly to my TV using the HDMI adapter (i.e. NOT via an Apple TV), the Netflix app pops up the error message "Cannot play video - The connected display is not supported". If I start a video and then plug the HDMI cable in, it will play for a few seconds and then halt with the same error message.
Netflix & Apple were supposed to have been working together to fix the previous issue with this scenario which was causing audio to be output but no video. The current Netflix app update was released yesterday and seems to have taken a step backward.
When I contacted Netflix support, they indicated that they have done whatever can be done from their side and this is now Apple's issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

Picture files only partially display after being published

Recently .jpg and .png pictures I have created only partially display after being published. I've tested it using Paint, Publisher and Gimp with mixed results. The pictures display correctly when I view them locally on my pc.
Here are the test pictures I made in each program:
http://www.bgchamber.net/images/GimpTest.jpg
http://www.bgchamber.net/images/PublisherTest.jpg
http://www.bgchamber.net/images/PaintTest.jpg
The only pictures that fully display are those that were taken from a camera, but after I resized one in paint, it also didn't display properly. My question really is, is this an issue with Microsoft Expression Web or with the server hosting the files?

Publisher is NOT a photo editing program. Neither is Word. Nor is Paint.
You need a real, and simple, photo editing program. Paint.NET is a good, free one. I find GIMP cumbersome (but it's batch processing is handy). And your graphics aren't being created and saved properly. For example, the events.html page has graphics on it
that total well over 3 MegaBytes! Pity the poor soul with a wireless connection. The graphics on the events.html page are largely illegible, and as such serve no real purpose (and make the site look bad).
Let's take an example...on the home page gallery is a graphic for the 2015 Chamber Scholarship. It's displayed at 525 x 340 pixels, yet the image sitting on the server (and which must be downloaded by the visitor) is 1275 x 825 pixels. So you have an unnecessarily
large graphic taking space on the server, having to download to the visitor's computer at full size, and then be shrunk by the browser to only 17% of the original area. That file should be created and saved in a proper graphics program at the final size you
plan to use (and in this case, use PNG format). The larger file takes at least 5 times the storage space on the server as a properly sized file (and takes 5 times as long to download and upload).
I've superimposed the display size on top of the full size and shrunk them down to display here in the forum. See below.
All the graphics that I have checked on your site have the same problem, and if your site has been up a long time and you haven't cleaned out the old files on the server, you may have run out of server space, which would corrupt the new files.
Smaller files will also upload faster and more reliably. Plus--browsers stink at resizing graphics. Do that in a proper graphics program to get the best quality.
Use JPG for photos, GIF for hard-edge graphics with few colors and no gradations/shading, and PGN for hard-edge graphics with full color and gradations/shading. And make sure you are saving the images in the proper version of the format (RGB for web).

Airport Extreme "Show Time Connected" Display

"SHOW TIME CONNECTED" problem
I have a relatively minor problem with my Airport Extreme. I have elected to have the “Show time connected” displayed in my menubar. For the last few months, and certainly since I upgraded to OS 10.7, the time connected display keeps resetting itself, sometimes actually back into negative time, showing as a negative time connected and gradually working its way up to zero. At other times it will seem to work accurately for a day or 2 and then reset itself back to 0.
This does not seem to affect my Airport Extreme function which does not disconnect or dysfunction. It seems that it is only the timer itself that keeps resetting itself. I know this is a minor issue but would be happy for any advice on how to correct it.
Thanks very much.

I ran OS 10.5 for 3 years with my Time Capsule and never saw a negative time. I recently updated to 10.6, but I don't think that that caused the problem, although I didn't check the apparent connected time on another computer.
"...only seems to affect a few users." is not a defense. Apple's job is to write software that always works, not that works mostly. I'm not sure that there would be a flood of reports. I think that most people don't turn this option on. It's an obscure setting (people ask where it is in other forum posts) and of little apparent value. I use it because it's the only reliable indicator that I am actually connected to the internet. I would not have upgraded the firmware on my TC except that the flashing yellow light (that I can't reset) made detecting other problems with the TC impossible.
I should also point out that on a recent trip I connected to a wi-fi router that does not support displaying the connected time. However, my computer continued to display the time that my TC had been connected when last it spoke to my computer. This does appear to be a 10.6 bug, as 10.5 never did this.

HT204291 I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on

I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on the left. When I watch Cable Television (not using the Apple TV), all 3 channels work fine so I know that the speaker connections are fine.

I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using. The original one conflicted with my neighbor. After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished. Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi). I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another). :-)

Airplay over mac mini connection?

I have an Apple TV, 3rd gen and a mac mini running OS 10.6 and a MBA running OS 10.9 and an iPad Mini running IOS7.1
I have been successfully streaming my MBA and iPad Mini through my Verizon FiOS to Apple TV.
I am headed to a remote RV park and wanted to stream my downloaded (offline) app programming to my Apple TV from my iPad Mini (not in my Macs' iTunes Libraries). I set up a WIFI network on my Mac computers and all the devices can find it except for the Apple TV. It can only connect via the ethernet cable from the MBA and mirror the MBA screen. Even though the iPad can connect to the Mac computer's (shared network, shared, WIFI or shared Bluetooth) it does not give me any option to select the Apple TV screen. The normal icon for the Apple TV display option is not there- only an Air Play option.
I have read articles online until my head spins about using a Mac Mini for a home LAN of sorts to allow streaming to Apple TV. Is there anyway to get the iPad mini to recognize the mac computer's created WIFI network so that it will stream to the Apple TV? Or does it only work with a paid provider type of WIFI?
Thanks.

Thanks Rudegar.
For others looking for an answer to this or a similar question:
To recap the question is: Is there anyway to get the iPad mini to recognize a mac computer's created WIFI network so that it will stream to the Apple TV?
And the simple answer is: No.
1. The support.apple.com link in the above reply goes to a geeky table of endless port numbers and their configs.
2. Creating and sharing your Mac computer's WIFI/Ethernet/Bluetooth connection will not work to stream iPad and iPod devices to Apple TV unless perhaps you have an in depth understanding of port configs (its not something a basic user is likely to readily figure out).
I tested out this alternative for streaming from devices to Apple TV when OFF THE GRID. I used an old router that was capable of generating a Network WIFI signal. It was NOT connected to the Internet- only the power outlet. Here are the steps that worked for me:
1. power up the router
2. connect the devices (Apple TV, iTouch, iPad, etc) to the router's broadcasted signal (SSID)
Using this method, my devices all showed the Air Play icon and allowed me to stream device content to Apple TV.
NOTES:
1. On APPLE TV- The Test Network program will not work (cannot be tested) without a live INTERNET connection
2. Nothing of course can be downloaded- only streamed (whatever is already downloaded on the iPad)
3. If you want to stream from your computer's iTunes Library then you must FIRST USE an Internet connection to set up the Apple TV--->Computer Settings with your computer. You NEED TO BE ONLINE when doing this so the Apple iTunes Store (or whatever it is called) can validate your iTunes User ID with both devices (Apple TV and computer). After this initial validation, I went off grid (no internet) and the Apple TV was still able to recognize and stream media (music, movies, purchased & downloaded content) from my computer/iTunes library and my photos.

Call Connected displays after call termination

Two or three times during the day, after hanging up from a call, the call does not terminate. "call connected" displays, yet no one is there, nor was there an accidental dial. The only way I have found to actually terminate the call is to pull the battery. I have no incoming nor outgoing calling capabilities until the reboot is complete.

Hello megohm64,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
To correct this particular issue i would recommend backing up the BlackBerry Smartphone and then performing a security wipe.
To back up the BlackBerry Smartphone, please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your device. Click on the Backup and Restore options and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry Smartphone.
Once you have backed up your BlackBerry Smartphone please follow the link below to complete a security wipe.
Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14058
Once the device is wiped please test to make sure it is working correctly and then complete a selective restore of your BlackBerry Smartphone. Below is the link on how it is done.

How do I airplay the video only?

This may be either a very inane question, but I will ask it anyways.
How do I airplay the video only from within OS X Mavericks? And when I say Airplay, I am meaning essentially the same functionality my Ipad Air has when I choose Airplay. It sends the video to my Apple TV 3rd Gen, and only displays on the TV, not the Ipad.
I may not be phrasing it right, but I have yet to find the solution. I do not want to mirror my display or use an extended desktop situation. I am just looking to stream the video/audio say from a webpage, but only have it play on the tv, not within the safari browser. The ipad, iphone, touch all seem to have this functionality, yet I cannot seem to find the answer when it comes to my MBP and Mavericks.

Sorry for the slow response, Had a hot potato I had to deal with.
I probably wasn't clear. We have a datefield on the form. We populate it from a database. The field has a format code of MM/DD/YYYY in it, but the time keeps coming up when populated. I don't want to see the time at all.
From the language ref 3.5:
formatString
property
formatString:String
The format of the displayed date in the text field. This property can contain any combination of "MM", "DD", "YY", "YYYY", delimiter, and punctuation characters.
The default value is "MM/DD/YYYY".

Why can I only connect to the internet using my IPhone 5S 4G via a USB and not wirelessly?

Apologies if I'm not using the right jargon ... I have a laptop (Dell Latitude D510 - Windows 7 Ultimate) that can connect to my Mobile Broadband wirelessly no problem but I can't utilise my IPhone's 4G connection (iOS 7.0.5) unless I use the USB cable (my personal hotspot is also on). I can't connect wirelessly to my personal hotspot without the USB cable. It keeps saying Windows is unable to connect to my IPhone. I have tried to troubleshoot this myself but can't find an obvious problem. Interestingly I could only connect via my USB when I downloaded the ITunes program as my computer failed to recognise my IPhone. Furthermore, I have a Dell Alienware laptop which has no problems connecting to my IPhone either way - USB or wirelessly (also has ITunes downloaded). I've searched the Internet forums for an answer on but I can't find one. Can anyone help? Thanks if you can.
