Airplay not working on new macbook pro and apple tv2

i have a new macbook pro and new apple tv device and have used them together easily. However, now I can't find the apple tv icon on the top bar and have searched everywhere for it, turning off and on the home sharing, restarting the apple tv. any other hints, or is it just something basic...I am new to apple products...
Thanks

Doing the reset resolved this issue for me as well.  Not sure why it worked over the restart, but I'll take it.
My issue was that my MBP-R would not connect with AirPlay.  I had the icon in the top bar and everything.  When I would try to connect it, it would hang for about a minute, then just kick back with nothing happening.

  • Airplay not working on new MacBook

    I just bought a new macbook pro and apple TV. Airplay works with my iphone 5 and my iPad 4. I can also access my iTunes on the ATV, but the airplay icon doesn't show up in my menu bar on the MacBook Pro. All of my software is up-to-date. Airplay is turned on in both devices. I've tried rebooting both. MacBook system preferences show mirroring options checked on, but it says no devices detected. I'm on the only wifi network in the house.
    Interestingly, the macbook conntected fine at my boyfriends house on his ATV.
    Any ideas???

  • LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.

    LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.  Have tried 2 CC downloads, 5.6 licensed download and 5.5 licensed download, all result in the same thing.  It comes up with basic screen but no panels and gives an error occurred when changing modules.  Nothing I've tried seems to help.  It also has says "get started with lightroom mobile at top left although it says it is Lr 5.6.  Anybody else having problems?  Calls to adobe result in no help and have to wait till Monday for some technical support.  Surely this should run on a NEW laptop with no other software installed!!!

    Install logs were fine.  Application installed but wouldn't run properly.  Finally got Adobe support and it turns out to be a file permissions error.  Had to add both applications and myself as accessors of Lightroom folder under path ~/Library/Adobe/  and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything but system) and apply to all enclosed folders.   Runs fine now.  Including this here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

  • YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO

    YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
    Every time I want to see videos from youtube the video player just says "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available".
    Please help I have everything possible up to date.
    Thanks!

    It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
    So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
    Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash.

  • IMessage not working on new Macbook Pro.

    iMessage not working on new Macbook Pro. Issue began after I downloaded latest version of Mountain Lion.  After every message it says delivered then immediately a red circle with exclamation point says message not delivered.  Any ideas?

    I can also no longer text on my computer or iPad.  Fine on iPhone.  Same as you - I can see everything up until a specific day.  But I didn't do any kind of update where it should have stopped.  And it stopped working on my computer and iPad at the same time.

  • WD External Hard drive not working with new Macbook Pro

    I have recently upgraded to a new Macbook Pro and when connecting a WD 1 TB Passport external hard drive, it doesn't appear on the MBP, but when I connect it to my old Macbook running 10.5.8, it appears normally. Is this a problem with formatting or an issue because it is USB 2.0...
    Any help appreciated as I have a lot of data on the hard drive and would like to be able to use it with my new MBP.

    I'm on Lion, with similar issues with two WD external HD. But what I found fixed the problem was to:
    1. go to the manufacturer's website (in this case Western Digital),
    2. locate my external HD, download the download.
    For instance, I downloaded the WD Drive Utilities for Mac (for My Passport for Mac USB 3.0):
    http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=219&sid=157&lang=en
    Install the downloaded app.
    3. Plug in external (this part, I think is important) directly into your tower or laptop (as opposed to through a USB multi-plug extender). Possibly this is because you access more power?
    [I'm trying to remember in which order everything happened. But I think at this point the external hard drive mounted]
    4. Install the software that is found on the external HD (in my case, it was a brand new device, so that had never been installed).
    5. Run "WD Drive Utilities" and run diagnostics.
    6. Test to see if it holds. Unmount the External HD. Unplug. Replug in and see if it mounts.
    Note: I have not yet tested to see if plugging in the external somewhere other than directly into the tower also works. But I think the main problem is getting it to mount the first time and installing the software. That's what I think.

  • Front Row not working on new MacBook Pro

    Hello all,
    I cannot get Front Row to work on my new MacBook Pro. I've confirmed that my Apple Remote works using iChat's video preview to see the flashing IR transmitter. I've pressed Cmnd+esc also. I've even tried to double-click on the System >> Library >> CoreServices >> Front Row app to no avail. If someone could help me, I would appreciate it. Many thanks in advance.
    2.2 GHz Core2 Duo MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   4 GB RAM

    Front Row doesn't usually open if you double-click the application in the CoreServices folder, so that's not unusual. The one troubleshooting step I might try, before calling AppleCare Support since your computer is new, would be to use the Accounts System Preferences to create a new user. Log out and log in as the new user. Can the new user open Front Row with command-esc or the remote? If so, then your original user has a preference file problem. If not, then you may need to re-install Front Row and/or Mac OS X. If your Mac is less than 90 days old, I'd call AppleCare Support and get some help from them to do that (also so they're made aware that a new computer required that in case there's an issue at the factory).

  • BURN - Sourceforge - Not Working on New Macbook Pro

    Does anyone have any suggestions for me on getting this to work?
    I just purchased a new Macbook Pro 2012, and using TDK Double Layer 8.5 gb disks DVDs.
    I took an mp4 and used their s-ware.  It converted it to mpg after I selected VIDEO and NTSC, DVD-Video in drop down box. 
    When I hit burn, I get box that selects SUPERDRIVE AND MAX SPEED 4x.  I hit burn.
    1) Get message that says authoring DVD - runs it's course
    2) Then I get a message that says "Not enough space" Try anyway.  The movie is only 40 minutes long and low quality.  8 gig's is more than enough space. (Blank DVD).
    3) I click BURN anyways.
    4) Disk sounds as if something is happening
    5) Message "Burning "Untitled" - Writing Track (with countdown)
    6) Then I get a pop up window that says 'YOU INSERTED A BLANK DVD.  Choose an action from the pop up menu or click ignore.  I click ignore.
    That's it.  I eject the DVD and try to play, but it is still blank.
    Advice? Suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Internet not Working on New Macbook Pro

    I just got a new macbook pro. Whenever I open safari the page wont load and the beach ball of terror comes up and I have to force quit. I have ethernet access and it says it's connected but none of the internet features are working. I tried to connect through wifi and that isn't working either. Help?

    You don't have a virus.  That isn't an issue for Macs.
    There are a whole bunch of reasons why you're not connected to the internet through your router.  We'll need more info about your router and MacBook Pro.  It's impossible to guess as to your issue without more info.

  • Toneport UX2 not working with new MacBook Pro 10.6.2 Snow Leopard

    I do some casual recording using a Line 6 Toneport UX2. Previously i was recording on an older Mac Mini. Recently i upgraded to a new Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)
    The new Macbook is not responding at all when i plug in my toneport, all the software for the toneport is installed.
    I think the problem is that my toneport is not compatible with an intel Mac. Is this right?
    And if it is can i fix this problem with some kind of upgrade for my toneport software(gearbox)?
    And if there is no solution can someone recomend a new audio interface for me to get? Under $200.

    I use a Toneport UX2 with my intel iMac. I never had the problem you are describing while using Gearbox with GB. However your problem sounds very similar to one I have experienced when I loaded up Line 6 Pod Farm. I discovered that when I start Pod Farm and get the message you mentioned, if I quit Pod Farm then immediately start it again, everything communicates just fine and I'm back in business. I would like to see a fix for this glitch, but for now I just start twice and then get to work.
    Give it a try! I am curious to know if you are in the same boat as me.
    As a side note, Recently Line 6 offered Pod Farm for no charge to registered owners of a Line 6 interface such as ours. You may want to check it out. It gives you some more options to play with.

  • Headphones volume controller not working on new macbook pro

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new macbook pro (15" late 2013) and just noticed that when plugging my headphones (beats solo HD), the volume controller in the headphones doesn't change the volume of the laptop. The headphone controller works fine on my iphone, and on my older macbook pro (2010, running on mavericks too). I checked the Sound settings under System Preferences, and under the Input tab, the new macbook doesn't recognize the headphone microphone either, which my old macbook pro still does. In terms of sound, the headphones work well, and under the Output tab, the Headphones appear, as normal. The sound can also be adjusted using the keyboard keys and the volume adjust on screen, but not with the headphones volume controller, which seems odd to me.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks for your time!
    Melissa

    Hi,
    I also noticed this... when I use my old earphones (the white Apple ones that come with the iphone) on my new laptop, everything works fine, including the microphone, volume control, skipping songs... etc. But my other headphones are not recognised at all, just as audio output and nothing else.
    My old macbook, however, still fully recognizes both my old earphones and my "troublesome" Beats headphones, even after the latest system update, as does my iphone
    So I still don't know what is happening.
    Just telling you this so that you make 100% sure your earphones are faulty before discarding them!

  • Motion not working with new MacBook Pro

    I've installed the Production Bundle on a new MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Everything works fine, FCP, DVDSP, Compressor but Motion crashes every time with an error message:
    "The problem may have been caused by the Ozone plug-in"
    Reinstalled software and still have same error msg.
    Any one have similar issue with Motion? Any ideas on how to fix?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Isync for RAZR worked on powerbook, but not working on new MacBook Pro

    Hello --
    I've been syncing my RAZR for the past year using my G4 Powerbook - no problems. I've just bought a MacBook Pro, and am trying to get the RAZR to sync to it. I was able to set up the bluetooth connection no problem, but iSync doesn't seem to see the phone - it doesn't find it when I scan to add a device. Thoughts/advice?
    Thanks!

    I have a similar situation. My RAZR pairs and works with my G4 Dual, but when I pair it with my 15" Powerbook, there are no isync services ....
    I haven't found a solution yet.
