Airplay display keeps breaking up from my new Mac book. Help!
When using the airplay from my iPhone or iPad the picture and audio works well. No breaking of picture or audio.
When I try do the same from my new mac book pro the picture and audio keep breaking up, which is very frustrating considerng the new mac should have a better connection then that of older devices.
I have a Mac book pro with Retina display, 2.6 Ghz, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.9.2.
Have the latest Apple TV.
The issue has nothing to do with the router as the same wireless connection is used for the iPhone and iPad.
Looking for some genuine help..
WiFi connections will always be flaky and re-liable at best. Especially with home grade WiFi hardware. You will save your self a lot of headache if you use Wired connections for the MBP and ATV.
considerng the new mac should have a better connection then that of older devices.
Why would that be? They are all using the same wireless standard, connecting to the same wireless router. The MBP being a year or two newer does not magically make it's network connection faster just because you think it should be.
The issue has nothing to do with the router
That is in fact exactly what it is. Or more specifically using WiFi.
as the same wireless connection is used for the iPhone and iPad.
No they arn't. They may all be connecting to the same device, but they each have a serrate connection, on different frequencies, in different locations, that are getting hit with different random levels of background noise and interference.

I can't print on my HP Photosmart C309a from my new Mac book air
I bought a new mac book air and with the new version system iOS X 10.9.1 I can´t print. I try to add it as a printer and it posts, ¨Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.¨. Is there anything I can do???
Hi gachy1,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to install the printer on Maverick.
I will be happy to help you.
I have provided the URL for setting up the printer with the Apple Software Updates.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Make sure when you add the printer it shows the printer's name and not Airprint.
(you might have to click the dropdown to select the printer's name)
This document shows you 3 different ways you can scan on the Maverick.
How to Scan: OS X v10.9.
Hope this resolves your issue.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a good day!

Syncing New Music from my New Mac Book Pro to my iPhone
I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and have already started getting new music on it. I want to replace the old music on my iPhone with the new music on my Mac Book but everytime I sync it, it doesn't work. How can I replace the old music on my iPhone with the new music on my Mac Book?
What doesn't work, and is any error message provided?
Did you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer? -
Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it? ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -

I urgently need to know how I can connect 8 thunderbolt display, I was thinking with the new mac pro will come out, but I wonder if it is possible to connect an iMac to 4GB of graphics card, but suffers from the imac. thanks
I tightened all HD screws and it didn't help. With the machine running and side of the case off, I physically stopped both the video card fan and the front case fan with my finger for a couple seconds and the noise continued. I also took all hard drives out one by one and rebooted each time. Again, the noise continued until I took out the Mac HD in Bay 1, rebooted, and I had a very quiet, silent machine. The issue is the hard drive in bay 1 that shipped with the computer, it's without a doubt causing the hum/woosh sound. I still need to know if I can safely swap the Mac HD from bay 1 to bay 4 without any issues to the operating system. I would like to try that to see if it dampens the noise but I also want to make sure this swap won't screw up my machine at all.

Because of a lack of enough memory on my old Mac Book, I put all my music on an external hard drive. Now that I have a new Mac Book Pro with lots of memory, I want to move the music onto this new computer but I haven't been able to yet. I tried the migration assistant but that didn't work. Any suggestions?
I may sound like a real rookie here, but on my new MacBook Air there isn't a "Pictures" folder under "Users/kendallwilson" like there used to be on my old MacBook Pro (Early 2011). I'm still working out the new software on my MB Air, so where exactly should I open this new window to start following the steps you just provided me.
Thanks again! -
I can't add printers to my new mac book pro with retina display
I am trying to set up my HP wireless printer to my new mac book pro with retina display. I can't get it to work! I have down loaded the latest driver for my printer, and when I go into the printer area and try and add the printer, nothing shows up and it won't let me even add it. I can't seem to connect my mac directly to my printer either as I must need a different cord as there does not seem to be a port for the "phone like jack" that I could fall back on with my old Mac. My printer prints great so I hate to just buy a new printer, but I can't get this to work. My wireless router is located in the basement, far away from where I keep my printer so it also makes it hard to rest everything. I even bought the blue tooth adaptor for the HP printer thinking that would solve it all, and nope! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have made some progress.... I can print wirelessly from my printer now, but I can't set the printer itself to be wireless. I had to move my printer downstairs to where my router is...which is not that convient. I printed up the page you asked about....and as expected, it says it is off line and there is no IP address. So now I need to figure out how to make my printer itself wireless. I did download the HP driver I needed...but I can't access it to do anything else. It seems l like I am missing a step... or I need to hook up my computer itself to the printer to help get the printer to be wirelss, but I can't hook it up because there is no port for me to do that (no port that looks like a phone jack). I am guessing I would need a different type of cord, but I am not sure what kind of cord that would be! Ugh!

Connecting ipod to new mac book os x from dell windows xp....
Hey, I just bought a new mac book yesterday and finally made the conversion over to apple. I have roughly 6000 songs on my ipod and definetly do not want to lose them. If i plug in my ipod to my new mac book, will I lose all my songs or will they just upload into itunes? If i will lose all my songs, how can I get those 6000 songs onto my new computer without losing them?
1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
YamiPod Mac & Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Floola Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive -
