AirPlay Macbook Pro 7,1 with iPhone 5

How can I get my macbook to play a video... and then i watch the video via airplay while I head downstairs to my kitchen?
I have OSX 10.8.2 running on a Macbook Pro 7,1
i cant figure out this mirroring and screen sharing thing.

Ya, that's the biggest crap I've seen from Apple lately.  iTunes 11 used to sync my contacts, I just noticed that 11.0.2 put a stop to that.  I've already filed my complaint with them.  Some of us don't want to use an online source just to sync our info.  I don't need my data on someone else's server, no matter how secure they say it may be.  *** Apple?!?!

  • IMessage order on MacBook Pro and problems with iPhone iMessage

    Hi,
    I use my iMessage on my MacBook Pro and on my iPhone. In iMessages on my Mac I have it set to use two addresses, my phone number and my icloud email. I have the same on my phone.
    When I receive a message it is ordered correctly on my phone with the most recent being shown last and the oldest I need to scroll to the top. But, on my MacBook when I open messages they seem to be ordered all over the place and I need to scroll up sometimes and I find that the most recent is sandwiched between two others in no real time order. Can anyone help me understand and correct this problem.
    Also the other day, my iPhone imessage started playing up and randomly ordered the messages ut it has now reverted to the correct format. Please can someone help?
    Thanks
    Matt

    Based on information in another answer I tried the following ...
    After doing what blueno suggested I did have to reboot.  I then had to provide my password lots of times when I logged in.  That still didn't work so I logged out of my iCloud account in Message and logged back in, repaired, and it worked!
    This is what I did:
    1) Open Key Chain Access ( go to Applications>Utilities)
    2) Select Login at the top left side under Keychains
    3) Select All Items on the lower left side under Category
    4) Search for entries of IDS.
    5) Highlight and delete all entries that has IDS.
    6) Search for entries of FaceTime
    7) Highlight and delete all entries of FaceTime
    8) Search for entries of Messages (I also found entries containing Message (singular, not plural), but didn't delete these.)
    9) Highlight and delete all entries of Messages
    10) Reboot!
    11) Log back in and when requested log back into iCloud account (I got asked for the password multiple times)
    12) Log out of iCloud account in iMessage (Not sure if this is needed)
    13) Log back into iCloud account in iMessage.
    14) On iPhone in Settings/Messages/Text Message Forwarding turn off forwarding to my iMac.
    15) Turn Text Message Forwarding back on for my iMac (re-pairs and I entered the new number)
    16) Could send text messages from my iMac!!!!!
    But it was short lived.  One message was sent using SMS (that should have gone through using iMessage and then back to the same error message.  So I am back to square one.

  • Messages on MacBook Pro not syncing with iPhone

    Hi,
    I'm using an iPhone 5 running IOS 8.3 and a MacBook Pro running 10.10.3. 
    In the past I have been using messages on my MacBook and my iPhone.  If I sent a text via my phone, it showed up in messages on my Mac and vise versa.  Since the iWatch has come out and I upgraded my IOS on my phone, the messages work on both devices but I cannot "see" them on both.  In other words, if I start a conversation using messages on my mac, it works fine, but they don't show up on my phone.  Same holds true in the reverse.
    I have deleted the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist from my User Library and rebooted.  I double checked settings on my phone, and my apple ID and my cell phone number are set up for both sending and receiving. I turned my phone onto Airplane mode and back on, and restarted all devices multiple times.
    While I'm not crippled and can send/receive messages from both devices, I would like to get them so conversations are showing up on both devices.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
    TIA
    Nancy

  • New MacBook Pro not working with iPhone remote

    Hi all,
    I absolutely cannot get the iPhone remote app to work with itunes for whatever reason!
    it's driving me crazy never had any issues on my old macbook, its defo on the same wifi, i can ping it etc, I'm faily handy with OSX and the like as i'm a software developer, so I know it's not a firewall issue and the phone is on wifi.
    it just doesn't pop up to let me enter the code in iTunes under devices when I'm trying to register the Phone with the machine,
    for the record the phone has been synced with the itunes library in question and I have clicked the forget all remotes button in iTunes prefs, and the 'look for iphone remotes' box is checked
    so I've pretty much done everything bar uninstall itunes, is that really necessary? is it worth deleting the itunes prefs file??
    Thanks for any advice,
    Cheers,
    John

    Have you tried wiping the remote app from the iphone and starting over ?

  • Lost Safari Bookmarks on MacBook Pro after Sync with iPhone

    I set up my iPhone to use MobileMe to sync with my two macs and other iphone (wife).
    I lost all the Bookmarks on the computers within Safari.
    1. What do I need to change to avoid this in the future?
    2. Is there a place my Bookmarks have been automatically saved so I can restore? I have 'Time Capsule' and MobileMe.
    If there is a way, can you explain?
    Thank you

    Don't know why that happened, but Safari Bookmarks are stored in ~/Library/Safari/bookmarks.plist (the ~ is shorthand for your home folder). You can use Time Machine to restore them.

  • Mail from Macbook Pro not syncing with iPhone

    I am trying to set up my Mail account (which is set with Gmail) from my computer to sync with my iPhone. Unfortunately the iPhone goes is synced with Gmail and says that I have over 2000 emails. How can I get my iPhone to sync with my Mail app from my computer?
    Also, I have deleted the account from my iPhone, but it still shows up on my iTunes. When I sync the iPhone, the mail settings are put back into my iPhone. How can I erase the gmail settings from my iTunes?
    Thanks for your help.
    Jude

    You don't sync account mailboxes and messages with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account via the iTunes sync process. You can transfer account setup info only from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    Using the iPhone's mail client to access an email account is no different from using the Mail.app on your Mac for accessing the account. With a POP account, new messages recieved at the incoming mail server are downloaded, and when accessing a POP account with a new email client for the first time, all messages that remain at the incoming mail served for the account will be downloaded as new messages, since the new email client being used has never accessed the account - in this case, with the iPhone's mail client.
    With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    You deselect transferring the account settings for this account from your computer to your iPhone at the same place where you selected this - under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • Macbook pro not syncing with iphone/ipad photos

    My iphoto on my Macbook Air has stopped updating photos from my phone. The ipad syncs them but the MBA doesn't. It stopped at the end of March and hasn't added any since then.. any ideas? Everything else syncs, ie contacts, calendar etc.
    I've tried disabling Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane and iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane, rebooting and reenabling both as previously advised. This didn't work.
    Thanks

    Reset iOS devices and your Mac.
    Tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Photos off then back on.
    And one more time on your Mac. System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Photos then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a minute or two to re sync the data.

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • HT4245 i use a macbook pro which came with facetime i have an iphone 4S as well. whenever i use the wireless on my iphone i can facetime with ease however when i use the same wireless for my mac to facetime the call always gets disconnected.

    To use factime on your Mac, I believe you will need to use your email address to do so instead of your wireless number.  Since you can't make calls on the Mac.

  • Using Internet Sharing on Macbook Pro 17" (intel) with the iPhone

    Hi,
    i like to use Internet Sharing on my Macbook Pro 17" (intel) with OS X Leopard.
    Enabling Internet Sharing on Leopard works just fine. I share my Ethernet Connection with the Airport.
    I can connect to the Airport sharing the connection with multiple devices.
    It does however not work with the iPhone.
    The phone can see the network. It even connects and gets its lease (IP Adress / etc)...
    I did open a terminal and did ping the iphone. Doing that i disconnected the iphone from the wifi network and connected again. I found out that immediately after connecting the connection is working (ping reply) for about 2 or 3 seconds and then there is no reply... Sometimes it is working... but 99% of the connections dont work... (working for 2 seconds and then no reply)
    This is only with the Internet Sharing on the Macbook Pro (intel) in combination with the iPhone. I did not have any other wifi problems with the iPhone or with Internet Sharing on my Macbook Pro.

    Hi,
    thank you for your posts!
    Nathan C: Did you notice this issue occurring when you were using Mac OS X 10.4?
    Yes! I did not get it to work with Tiger also.
    mucmac: just solved the issue by setting the channel for airport under Airport Options in sys prefs>sharing>internet sharing from Automatic to a specific channel
    lazarus: Doesn't work for me.
    and not for me
    Richard Cartledge: Maybe it is a Leopard issue?
    I think its a Macbook Pro / iPhone issue. Because other clients work well also the iPhone works on a Powerbook using Internet-Sharing.
    Aaron@SODE: No luck for me! Tried every Channel and every MacBook Pro and MacBook in the company. The only Internet Sharing working is a PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.1. iPhone works with the Powerbook without any problem.
    The same applies to me! I really think it is a problem with the iPhone / Macbook Pro.
    mucmac: what model of macbook Pro do you use? I cant get it to work on a Macbook Pro 17"

  • My Macbook pro is rejecting my Iphone 5 charger. When ever I plug it in it says that the usb is taking to much power, yet when i plug in a different Iphone 5 charger it works fine. I'm just wondering why this is happening and how to fix it?

    My Macbook pro is rejecting my Iphone 5 charger
    Do you actually mean the white cable with a lightning plug on one end and a USB on other
    If so that is not the charger ,that is the cable
    The charger is the device that plugs into the mains socket
    If so
    cable may be faulty if less than 12 months old take it to Apple Store genius bar for checking

  • How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?

    How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
    Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

    Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

  • Why does my google calendar sync perfectly to iCal on my Macbook Pro but not my iPhone 4?

    The question as title is basically my problem.  Before I got my MacBook Pro I used my iPhone 4 (with iOS 5) to use the iCal app to edit my google calendar.  Events synced perfectly.  After getting my MacBook Pro things still seemed fine as well.  I was editing my calendar on iCal on my MacBook Pro, on Google's on-line Calendar App from other computers, and also on my iPhone 4 through the iCal App.  Suddently events were not syncing any longer.  I don't know what is the problem.  Things changed on iCal on the MacBook Pro still syncs to Google's online Calendar App and vise versa, but I can't do a thing with my iPhone 4 iCal. 
    Any suggestions?  I've tried deleting and resyncing my google account to my iPhone without any success.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Matt,
    I found my own solution to this problem and I think you can get it to work as well.  The thing is that you'll need to make your Google calendar your only calendar.  This means that you'll not want to have a Home or Work iCal because that stuff may not sync well with your Google calendar, but the Google Calendar data will appear within iCal on your iOS and Mac computer without any problems. 
    Before you do any thing I suggest, you must make sure that everything that you want on your calendar is on your on-line Google calendar.  If something is not there and you want it there, the thing you'll need to do is manually add it.  There is no work around that I have found for this.
    Next, on your computer:
    1. Go to System Preferences > iCloud
    2. Make sure that Calendars is not selected.  You don't want your computer or iOS devices to be confused with the iCal Home / Work, etc. calendars.  So let's not sync them.
    3.  Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    4.  Delete Your Google account there
    5.  Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    6.  Re-add your Google account
    Now you should be able to go into iCal on your computer and find that your Google calendar is there. 
    You will need to do a similar thing with your iOS device.
    1.  Settings > iCloud > Turn off 'Calendars'
    2.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Delete Gmail Account
    3.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Re-add Gmail Account
    This should make it so that you can use your Google calendar and it will be synced to your Mac computer, iOS device, and the Internet (Google's Calendar Website).
    You can see that this is in a sense a workaround in that you can't sync your iCal Home/Work calendars (or other calendars) created with iCloud to Google.  I'm thinking that's the problem I ran into before.  Anyway it works for me because I only need the one calendar and others are using Google that I need easy access to. 
    Let me know if you run into problems and remember you need to confirm that all your data is saved on the google calendar on-line (you can check through Google's website) before doing any of the steps above. 

  • I plug my iphone 5s into my macbook pro, itunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723).

    Every time I plug my iPhone 5s (32 GB) into my macbook pro, iTunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723). And none of my recently bought songs or my ringtones will transfer to my iPhone. I have iOS 8.1.2. I have only had this iPhone for about a month and a half. A week ago when I plugged it in it would say something along the lines of " This iPhone cannot be synced because the Photo library is not set up. Please try again later." What does that even mean? And now it is saying that it can't sync because of an unknown error. Well, how do I fix this? I have not yet downloaded the Yosemite update because it got horrible reviews and everyone I've talked to said their computer has gotten extra slow because of it so I was wondering if I need to download Yosemite so my iPhone will sync. I have tried turning my computer on and off, quitting and reopening iTunes, restarting my iPhone, and nothing has worked. I would really like to be able to transfer my music and ringtones etc. onto my phone.
    Thanks you!

    You have told us you have iOS 8.1.2, and a non-current version of OS X   Do you also have an old iTunes?  Current is 12.0.1.  I'm quite certain iTunes 12 is required to sync with iOS 8.
    The current iPhoto version is 9.6.  You are probably behind there as well, and that likely caused the first "photo ..." error.  As you may know, iOS is changing its approach to managing photos in iOS 8, so I would imagine it would be important to be current with this application.

    Found your answer:

    Note: AirDrop for iOS supports only iOS 7 devices. You cannot use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
    Yes, I was surprised too!
