Airplay display question

I have been looking all over and I'm guessing it's either a silly thing or something that can't be done...
With the iMac and AppleTV I'm trying to get the iMac to mirror through Airplay on my HDTV. To use as a computer, not just to stream.
Of course unless I choose to favor the iMac in the monitor optimization (or unless I go for "extension" instead of mirroring, which is NOT what I wanna do), my screen placement gets all messed up on the iMac.
I may be peculiar, but I don't use full screen for all apps, and some apps I keep on top for a portion of the screen just so, and others 3/4th on that side and so on and so forth.
Whenever I hit "optimize for AppleTV monitor" (which I have to do if I wanna be able to read what's on my HDTV), it all gets messed up and resized on my iMac.
IS THERE a way to lock window positions or resolution?! Or to NOT have the iMac "follow" what is happening on the other monitor (sorry I can't find another way to explain it).
To each monitor is own resolution, I guess is what I would love... Or at least have the iMac remember what window goes where after I bring it back to iMac only.
Thanks!

Mirroring means an exact copy, so the screens have to share a resolution.
If you want to "NOT have the iMac "follow" what is happening on the other monitor" then you do not want mirroring.

Airplay display issues: "extend desktop" not working properly. Secondary display continues to mirror.

Whenever I turn my airplay display on and set it to "extend desktop," my secondary display (TV) continues mirroring my mac book pro (hereinafter MBP). It doesn't fully mirror my MBP, but my secondary display registers every time I switch between my desktop 1 and my full screen apps. Moreover, When I do switch to a fullscreen app on my MBP, I get a blank (blue-ish) screen on my TV.
Any solutions!?!
Additionally, "extended desktop" for my Airplay display worked properly when Mavericks was first released.

Try this:
Click on the Apple TV Icon on the top toolbar
Then, select "Mirror Built in Display" instead of extend desktop
In the same menu under "Match Desktop size to:" select "Apple TV" (or keep it on "built in display if that works"
This solved a similar problem for me.

Mac Mini 2014 Airplay Display Disconnect Bug?

I have a 2014 Mac Mini running OS X 10.10.1 connected via HDMI to a 32" Panasonic TV model TX32LZD80. I can also connect using Airplay Display to a 40" Sony TV Model No. KDL 40V5810 via an Apple TV. The Apple TV and Mac Mini are both connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet.
When I switch on AirPlay Display to mirror the screen on the Sony TV everything works okay.
When I subsequently disconnect the Airplay Display the screen is no longer mirrored on the Sony TV as expected but the drop down menu for Airplay Display on the Mac Mini is as follows:-
Whereas I would have expected it to be as follows:-
Trying to Disconnect Airplay Display has no effect.
If I go into Display Preferences and set AirPlay Display to Off it immediately reverts to Apple TV.
Is this a bug? Should I report it to Apple or am I doing something wrong?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I set up a call with Apple Support and after about 2 hours the problem was tracked down to my Sound Settings in System Preferences. Once I selected Internal Speakers the problem was resolved.
I hope this might help someone else.

Flash media (youtube, video, etc) won't play when using Apple TV Airplay Display

I have a new Apple Tv. I have connected it to my tv and am using the tv as a second display from my iMac. The display works just fine, but if I try and play any flash based media, say a Youtube video, on my iMac while Airplay is on, it won't play.
Mind you, it isn't that I am not getting audio, it just won't play the video at all. I can even see the progress bar load fully, but it doesn't begin playing.
The second I turn Airplay off, the video will play.
This also happens with sites such as Soundcloud, and Tumblr audio posts.
Any ideas?

I connect to Airplay Display, I select apple tv, and either mirror display or extended desktop. Doesn't matter which, both have the problem.
Then, on my imac I try to play a video and it does not work. I can even hit play on a video, let it go, and THEN turn on Airplay and it will stop playing as soon as I do.

Double Quotes Display Question Marks

I have some data in a tabe that is rendered as some read only output in my JHS app. This works fine in JDeveloper on Linux and JDeveloper as well as deployed on Windows. However in the version that is deployed on Red Hat the double quotes are not displaying correctly and instead display question marks in their place. The import of the database schema worked and the data is in fact double quotes. Wondering what setting I can change that makes this server treat the same data as the other environments?

Hi,
This sounds like a JDeveloper/ADF issue that is not related to JHeadstart. Can you please ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at JDeveloper and ADF ? Thanks!

AirPlay Display fails only in one Mavericks account (AirPlay Client Identity cannot be established)

Hi,
I currently running into a strange issue with AirPlay Display and maybe you can help.
I am using OS X Mavericks on a Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina and trying to use Airplay Display with an Apple TV (V3), all running the latest software revisions.
In general AirPlay Display is working flawlessly in my setup for all types of user accounts (admin, standard and guest). However, in one specific standard user account AirPlay Display fails with the following dialog pop up: Could not connect to "Living Room (Apple TV)" --> (The latter being the name of my Apple TV).
The console output indicates its an issue with AirPlayUIAgents which fails to create an AirPlay Client Identity. Here is the complete log:

I switched between admin and standard user rights for the concerned account but this did not help. iOS Display Mirroring is also working without any issue. I am not sure whether the source of the issue is in OS X Mavericks or the Apple TV.
Does anyone have a clue, what the source of the issue might be?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance and happy holidays,
Jens
PS: Restarting the Macbook or AppleTV nor resetting the Apple TV does resolve the issue.

Thanks for the answer. However, this did not fix my issue. In the meantime I found, that Mavericks is actually not restoring any preference settings in the concerned account: e.g. any settings in the dock, which I apply during a session, are lost as soon as I restart (they survive a simple log-out and -in, but are lost after complete restart/shutdown). The same is true for any other settings I apply e.g. in the Finder.
It seems to me the concerned account has issues with entirely mixed up permission settings, even though I cannot imagine where this comes from since I set up the account quite recently and did not do any particularly special things with it since then. This would also explain why this issue is limited to only one account whereas all other accounts are working fine (including AirPlay Display with Firewall activated). Repairing disk permissions in the disk utility does also not help.

Shortcut to connect and disconnect 'Airplay Display' on MacMini?

Is there a shortcut to connect and disconnect 'Airplay Display' on my MacMini so I dont have to use the drop menu?
Running Mavericks 10.9.2

Hi, I have a similar problem and reported it to the Apple hotline. They currently have no solution. The same in several online discussions. Currently you only can disconnect or switch off you modem to cut the connection to the internet. When I do that I must use the AirPort utility to reload the AirPort Extreme base station after the connection has been re-established.
I'm not sure if the people in the States can imagine that there are other regions in the worlds were individuals live which don't have a flatrate ...

Korean Language Display Question

Hi everyone,
Here's a curious question I have for anyone else here that can read/write korean.
I have this one song by the artist Seven (Se7en) with the english title of the song "Holding Flowers." I have the song title input into Korean characters on iTunes, and it comes out fine there. For some reason, the first character ("flower") is missing from the title.
It's a problem I've had, not only on my Nano, but also my 3rd gen iPod. Just wondering, is the OS simply not able to display some characters, or is there a way around it?
Thanks!

I

iTunes, and it comes out fine there. For some reason,
the first character ("flower") is missing from the
title.
In iTunes or only in the iPod? Is that the only character this is happening to? Is it hangul or hanja? If the latter it may well be that not every character is available in the font installed on the iPod.

Probably the mother of all stupid display questions...

I just bought a Gateway 22" widescreen for my PowerMac. Max resolution is 1680 by 1050 which is the default the Mac set it to (DVI connection btw). I was messing around playing UT2004 with this new display. My question is this...would the display or increase in the resolution somehow AFFECT actual gameplay? Specifically I noticed that once in a while, my character will stop moving forward, I have to let off on the key and press it down again to get my character moving again. I only noticed this AFTER upgrading my display, I used to have a Samsung 17" LCD display. BTW, my keyboard is a MIcrosoft Wireless Mac desktop. Like I said, didn't have problems until the display was upgraded. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
Cliff Notes: upgraded display to 22" Widescreen, Graphics cart is a Radeon X800 XT, try to play UT2004, character stops moving forward intermittently. Didn't have problem before...any relation? Thanks.

There should only be issues if you have also increased the resolution in the game itself (because the graphics chip has to work harder). Are you able to check (or lower) the resolution within the game?

Display Questions with Retina and VMware Fusion (Windows 7/8)

Looking to buy my first MacBook Pro and looking to make sure I get the specs I need and have a couple of questions.
I would like to be able to run (simultaenously)
During the day for work:
Windows 7 x64 - 30GB HD - 1 Core - 1GB Ram - Purpose: Has a VPN client that allows me to VPN and RDP only
Windows 8.1 x64 - 60GB HD - 2 Cores - 4GB+ Ram - Purpose: Office 2013 installed on this VM and all my other work applicatons (light weight)
OSX 10.10 - Whatever it can take - Light Web Browsing etc while at work.
After work:
Guess it doesn't matter really - i'd like to play games (bootcamp fine) if possible too. Nothing crazy so barely worth mentioning.
My main questions:
Display: Iris Pro or nVidia - Can the base 15 inch GPU/CPU handle the two VMs at the same time plus the host OS (OSX) without hiccups?
Display: How does VMware Fusion recognize the discrete GPU - will the system be smooth/quiet without activating it?
Battery life: Virtualization is pretty heavy battery wise. Does anyone know what happens to the battery when you're running a couple VMs?
Display: How is running Windows 7/8 on a MacBook with a specifically retina display? Do the Windows PCs look really ugly/blurry due to such a high resolution?
What is the minimum hardware required for these VMs to run fast and responsive? (CPU/GPU/RAM only)
Thanks!!

Sorry - we're users here, just like you, and some questions just get lost sometimes.
The fastest hardware you can buy, the easier you'll be able to run Windows. If you use Boot Camp to run Windows (7, 8 or 8.1) the machine will run at it's best. If you want to run Windows alongside the Mac OS, you'll need to use a VM application (I use Parallels - I've tried VMwareFusion but like Parallels better and it just works best for me).
So, to your questions:
The Retina machine with the NVIDIA GPU will be the fastest - it's a faster processor and has more VRAM.
Any VM is going to use resources - how much RAM, for example, is up to you. I have 16 GB of RAM and 8GB dedicated to Parallels/Windows 7 Pro.
I wouldn't (and you really can't) run a VM for very long on battery. If you're using VM's, that's the time to plug into mains. Running a 'couple' of VM would put further heavy use on your GPU, CPU and shorten your battery life.
I would make sure to get a good, fast quad-core i7 processor, the 2GB of VRAM NVIDIA GPU and the maximum amount of RAM (16GB).
Good luck,
Clinton

Bootcamp Windows 7 Sleep Display question?

Hey guys,
I have a 27" iMac running Boot Camp with both Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Ultimate.
When I'm in Windows, is there a way that I can turn off the display? Currently if I press the power button on the back of the machine it automatically shuts down Windows. Is there a way I can configure it so that it only turns off the display as opposed to the hard drive and everything else? Or is there another/better way of accomplishing this? Or any other way to turn off the display only?
Thanks!

I have same questions, but in Windows 8. And my timer for Dim and Display off are not functioning properly.

Mac Pro 1,1 3 display question

I have a 1,1 Mac Pro with the ATI 5770. I currently am running a 30 inch cinema display on the DVI output and a 19 inch LCD on one of the mini ports using the following adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004071ZXA
I was curious,since these 19 inch monitors are 1280X1024 if I could possibly run 2 using the mini ports with these adapters? I read that dual link DVI adapters are required,but what if the 2 displays are smaller like these?

Mini DisplayPort is not just a different-shaped DVI. It is a completely different protocol. To use all three ports, you will need to take drastic measures and install "active" "powered" converters on BOTH Mini DisplayPorts. The adapter you referenced is NOT such a converter.

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.

24" display questions

Hi, im close to placing an order for a mini (I use a 24" Imac in work) and want a 24" display for my work at home.
I have seen 2 possible displays Dell 2408 (16:10, 1920 x 1200) and the dell 2409 (16:9, 1920 x 1080).
My questions are:
1. can the I mac support these pixel dimensions 'natively'? so that I dont get any distortion/squashing etc?
2. can it support 24" at all, as the spec on the apple store says 22 & 23" monitors are to be used - in which case would I be better off with one that size?
Thanks
Ger

The Intel Mini supports 1920 x 1200 natively. That's what I'm running on my 24" Samsung SyncMaster 245bw.
The actual size in inches doesn't matter: it's the pixel dimensions that count.
