Airplay video signal drops

We have 7 Apple TV's throughout our company and all of them exhibit the same behaviour, on many different laptops.
All laptops are running minimum of OS 10.9.2.
We have a Cisco Clean Air WiFi network with excellent signal coverage in all areas surrounding each of the AirPlay devices.
Here's exactly what happens:
User will enter conference room with Apple TV connected to an LED Flat Panel TV. Power it up, then select the appropriate Airplay device from their Airplay menu and begin streaming mirroring their desktop to the television set. Within 2 minutes, the signal drops, forcing the user to re-select the airplay device once again. Usually it will drop again within 2 minutes.
If the user reboots the Apple TV, the issue will go away for the rest of the session. Perhaps something about the Apple TV's keeping a sustained connection to our WiFi network.
We've been working with Cisco to pour over our WiFi network but they cannot find anything from the WiFi gear that is contributing to the signal loss.
Anyone have any ideas here? I'd like to try an Apple TV alternative to see if a different device would have the same issue but the options seem extremely limited.
Thank you.

I have two laptops each with their video out adapter connected and then cabled to a switch box where the big monitors project the signal of the laptop that the swtich box is set to. Like channel selection. Previous versions of Keynote were never a problem and I mean never. The signal came right through but now with Keynote 4 the signal drops out even tho the laptop is still active and apparently sending a signal through its video out connection. I have to hit escape and get out of keynote and then go back to PLAY for keynote to once again send that signal.

Keynote video signal drops out

Keynote 4 video signal drops out during presentations where we are switching between two different Apple Computers (one G4 and one Intel). Both machines had previous versions of Keynote on them and over a period of time never had a signal drop out condition. Sounds like new version problem.
Any input appreciated.

Video Signal Dropped when running slideshow screensaver

When I run the screensaver slideshow, the pictures display fine, but I loose the video signal from the mac mini after about 10 minutes. When this happens, I simply move the mouse and the signal comes back and I'm at the desktop.
The mac mini is connected to my Sharp Aquious LCD TV via the DVI port. The resolution is set to 1024 x 768 @ 60Hz.
Any ideas about what might be causing this or how to fix it?

Not sure what your application is, but if you are planning on running the screen saver 24/7, that would be a really bad idea. An LCD TV like the Sharp Aquos is backlit with flourescent bulbs that have limited life and running the TV around the clock will consume precious lamp life.

Late 2012 mac mini display signal drops while booting and monitor goes to sleep

I have a new Late 2012 Mac Mini. I have had it for a week, what just started happening is that during restart, the video signal drops and my monitor goes to sleep. I then have to toggle through the input options on the monitor and the video signal is detected again and the monitor wakes up.
Here is what I see - If i shut down and then power back up, I get the grey screen, then the apple logo, then the little status circle spins for a few cycles then stops and then the screen goes black and the monitor says signal lost and then 5 seconds later goes to sleep.
It is possible it is my monitor but, I haven't had any issues with it and i only drops the signal like that during a reboot.

Welcome to the family. Search this forum for the main thread for this problem titled: "mac mini 2012 video blinking out".

AP Extreme airplay video unusable

Inexplicaby and suddenly, Airplay video is stuttering so badly as to be unusable on ALL my devices.
Running AP Extreme latest firmware (downgrading did not help)
iPhone 5 6.1.2
iPad HD 6.1.1
MBPr 10.8.2
Trying to stream videos from computer to any of these other devices fails with LONG black screens with just a few seconds of video every 2 or 3 min.
I would guess the APE is failing except there's no other indication of that and internet seems ok (possibly a little slow) and Hulu / Netfilx play video on iTV perfectly.
I've downgraded APE firmware and same result.
Where to begin?

"Slow" wireless network streaming performance is almost always due to limited or poor signal quality. As you can imagine the better the signal quality, the higher the available bandwidth.
Without knowing your exact network configuration, I would first try to eliminate any potential Wi-Fi interference candidates. I would also use a utility, like iStumbler, inSSIDer, or WiFi Explorer to determine if you have any competing Wi-Fis in the area. You can use these utilities to find out which have the strongest signal and what channel(s) they are operating on. Then change the operating channel of your wireless network to a channel at least 3-5 channels away.
To get a more accurate measure of the speed of your wireless connection, you need to use a method that actually measures the speed that your connection is delivering. These include:
Timing a drag-and-drop filecopy and calculating speed (file size / transfer time). For example: Create a 1 GB Disk Image file using the Disk Utility. Copy this file from your Mac to an AirPort Disk attached to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). Measure the time it takes for the copy to complete.
Start a file copy, and then, use OS X's Activity Monitor to note the data rates on the Disk Activity tab.
Using AJA's System Test utility to measure transfer times for various video files.
Running iPerf or jPerf.

HT4108 How can I set my i phone to send a video signal to my television?

How can I set my I phone to send a video signal to my television?

iphone's earlier then iphone4s don't support mirror so only apps which support the old tv out works like photo app and youtube and video app
composite being the worst resolution tv output out there does not support airplay mirror even with iphone4s
test with the supported apps

Linksys WRT330N with Intel Wifi 5100 AGN causing signal drops.

I have been using my Linksys WRT330N for quite a while, and it has been wonderful. I have 3 pcs, 2 wired and 1 wireless. The wireless laptop died and was replaced. The replacement is causing problems and I need assistance finding a solution. The new laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1545 and it has an Intel Wifi Wireless AGN internal wireless adapter. My two wired pc's can surf the net without the slightest hicup until the wireless laptop with its wireless N card gets into the action. Once the laptop gets on, the hicups are frequent.

As you can see the signal drops show as the router resetting. It was not me unplugging it. The router as the only firmware which is available, v1.00.4 and the network drivers for the laptop's wireless wifi 5100 card are up to date. A Dell technitian controlled my laptop and did it himself.
Any suggestions?

Laptop will boot... backlight turns on... but no video signal

Hello!
(I searched but couldn't find a situation quite like mine, so sorry if this is a repost.)
After dropping my iBook, I busted the bezel/clutch. The unit powered up, including a fully functional display, but the lid just opened a little screwy.
So, I had the bezel/clutch replaced by an IT buddy, and when everything was reassembled, the unit would still boot up, the backlight would turn on, but there was no video signal! We thought maybe the VGA cable got messed up in the process, so we had it swapped out. Same problem.
Any ideas? Any thoughts if this problem is related to: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=877652&tstart=60 ?
I got a heck of a deal on this thing, so I'm thinking about just connecting to an ext. display, backing up everything, and parting it out on eBay. But this was my first Mac, and I only had it for a week, so if there's an easy/economical fix, I definitely want to give it a go!
Thanks folks!
Lance

Lactoes,
This is from Apple:
"Display

1. Remove any connected peripherals.
2. Try known-good power outlet, power adapter and power cord.
3. Press F2 (with the fn key pressed and not pressed) to increase the screen brightness
setting.
4. Reboot the computer—hold down the Control and Command keys and press the
Power button, or press and hold the Power button for 5 to 10 seconds to shut down the
computer, then press the Power button to restart.
5. Reset the power manager by pressing the key combination Control-Option-Shiftpower.
Warning: Make sure you do not hold down the "fn" key when resetting the

8. Replace display.
9. Verify cable connections and check cables around the hinges for damage.
10. Replace logic board."
The LVDS cable:
922-6368
922-6432 (SS)
Check this out:

K9N Platinum, 7600GTOC, SLI, No Video Signal

Just built up my new system, specs as follows
MSI K9N Platinum
AMD 5200X2 AM2 CPU
2 Gigs Corsair XMS2 DDR800
2 BFG Tech 7600GT OC's in SLI
Thermaltake TR2-500 Watt PSU +12V(1) 14A +12V(2)15A
1 Maxtor 120 GB SATA 150
1 Maxtor 160 GB SATA 160
When i turned the computer on for the first time, the system boots up and there is one small beep, sounds like it is posting, but I get no video signal from my monitor, which I checked on my other computer and is working fine, I tried both video cards in the 1st slot, in non-sli mode and I get the same result each time, so I get no video signal with all ways tried? Do I not have enough power in this PSU to run what I have? The video manufacturer suggests a 450W PSU, which I meet, but do I not have enough juice the 12V rails? And would this cause the no signal? Any help would be much appreciated.

have you tried with one of them only into 1st PCI-E? use 1st DVI output, when using SLI, ensure SLI bridge is configured property, connect monitor to VGA onto 1st PCI-E slot. also check monitor output is configured property(etc: Input 1, Input 2).
power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU and Clear CMOS Guide
re-test.
ensure all power cables are connected property. try to boot with one memory stick only into slot close to CPU socket.
what D-bracket shows?
"Do I not have enough power in this PSU to run what I have? The video manufacturer suggests a 450W PSU, which I meet, but do I not have enough juice the 12V rails? And would this cause the no signal?"
yes, think is too weak for your system
its recommended to get single rail with high amperes on +12V (over 30A)
read here:
PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth
Is your problem caused by your PSU?

Signals drop on iPhone 5s iOS 8.1 both wifi and network

I am having the following problems since i updated to iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5s 16GB model A1533 :
1- My network signals drop to 3 dots and sometimes to 2 and stay there.
2- Sometimes my wifi disconnects itself on my iphone for almost 4 or 5 seconds
3- My battery is draining faster that ever. I turned off the use of fingerprint and found it useful but still my iphone consumes a lot of battery. I get my battery percentage dropped to 80% from 100% in just 20minutes of whatsapp usage. My fone's vibration is never on. Location services all off except find my iphone. Background app refresh also off. I tried everything. Erase all settings, hard reset etc. NO USE
4- Playing games is really difficult. Battery drains very fast.
I did not have these problems on 7.1.2. Need help
Regards,
Ahmad

I understand that but I hope that people from Apple will be referring to the support groups and may actually think about that last paragraph.

Solutions for displaying s-video signal on Macbook Pro? (2006 model)

I looking around for ways to display an s-video signal on my Macbook Pro, but i've no idea the best way to this.
I'm not really after capturing or recording the signal, but I just need a means that I can view the signal, and to be able to switch to another program running on the Macbook. (switch back and forth from Mac app to viewing s-video signal)
Ive seen a few products but they look overblown for what I really need to do like the Elgato video capture, and the xlr8 provideo usb devices.
Is there a way that I could use the DVI socket on the Macbook? I have seem its possible to display the Macbook signal on an external display using this socket, but can it be used to take an input signal?
Message was edited by: jauqq
Technical note of what I exactly need this for: I have an old Roland sampler which can be used with an external monitor to aid in its editing. The outputs on the sampler are s-video and digital RGB. So that I dont have to buy an old bulky monitor I want to use my Macbook display for this while I also am running Logic Pro 8 at the same time. And to switch from Logic, to the displayed signal from the sampler.

The DVI out on your MacBookPro cannot be used for input. In order to see the s-video signal on your MBP display you will need an analog-digital converter like the Canopus ADVC-55, plus you will need to run software. You may be able to use iChat A/V, although I haven't tried it for this purpose. It will cost you more than the Elgato eyeTV device, however.
You will find it much easier & cheaper if you just get an inexpensive LCD display to use with your Roland sampler.

No video signal on projector (Lion, MacBook Pro)

Hi guys
since I've update to Lion (10.7.2), I have problems getting a video signal via mini-DVI / VGA to certain projectors. I'm using a Mac Book Pro (end of 2008). I have never encountered similar problem with previous versions of Mac OS X. Restarting the MacBook or the projector doesn't help. Does anybody have an idea what to do?
Thanx
fweth

I also update to Lion from 10.6.8.. My Dell 3300MP projector worked fine with Snow Leopard. Then with Lion, there is occassionally scrambled signal, but most of the time no signal.. Tried restarting projector, restarting computer, turning mirroring off and then on, but no help. I am running an early 2011 13" MBP.. Really frustrating for someone who does lots of presentations and teaching.

Why does my signal drop every time I try to use an application.

I've got a UFO style 802.11g, which I unfortunately kept up to date with the updates.
For well over a year now I've had my gear set up like this, airport in the den, my wife's older Imac in the den with it, the printer in the den as well and my Imac across the house. Now, everything in the den connects like cake. Always up, always a great signal.
My Imac across the house has always had it's ups and downs, we've got a stone fireplace and out kitchen in between. Basically, it's 3 rooms away. A whole bunch of walls and corners for the signal to bounce off of. So, I know, not an ideal set up. But it's worked ok for a good long time.
So, a few months ago I performed the recommended update. It said that it would increase connection quality. So I thought, hey, this might help me out! At first glance my connection seemed great! I never lost a bar, not while I was looking anyway. Then I started noticing that occasionally I switch a webpage or some such and it would tell me that I wasn't connected to the internet. What? I look up and I've got all the bars, so I try again and get through... then I notice the bars just flat out go dead. Now I can't connect again. Odd.
Ok, so I start paying attention and it just drops out at random... now, the signal used to fluctuate up and down fairly regularly before the update. I'd researched the problem and found out all the things that can interrupt my signal, and basically I've got em all in between my Airport and my Imac. I could live with that, because it would slow down, but it stayed connected for the most part. This was something new.
Ok, back to the problem at hand. Now I see the signal is either all bars or none. No 2 bars, no 3 bars. Here or gone. And while I'm paying attention, I notice that practically every time I click on something, from my mail app to a preview image the signal drops to nothing. Seemed a coincidence at first, but know I'm certain that it isn't.
So, random complete signal loss and complete signal loss when I use and app. Really not pleased.
Ok, so I figured maybe there's a fix on the way, but I've heard nothing of it. I installed the most recent update, absolutely no effect. Oh, and this one too was supposed to provide better connectivity. Where? I'm not seeing it! Everything in the den works just as well as it ever has. That's one of the things I've loved about Mac for more than 10 years. Easy to use and reliable. But this, this is just a big old pain.
I've tried to extend the network unsuccessfully with the Express. I've got another option to try with that, so my fingers are crossed. But I just don't get why my network is now worse than when I set it up when the only change that's been made have been the updates that I installed at Apple's insistence that my signal would actually be better.
Sorry for being so long winded, and for anyone who made it this far... is there anything that I can do? I really do prefer to have my office in the room that it's in, but it doesn't help me at all when I have to move my Imac to use it online.

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

How can I get my 2010 mac book pro to send signal out through the mini display port? end signal out through the end video signal out through the

How can I get my 2010 macbook pro to send signal out through the mini display port?

First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

How do I get a video signal to an external monitor via the mini-display port on my Mac Book Air?

I can't get a video signal out through my mini-display port on my Mac Book Air (version 1). Thus I can't feed BBC iPlayer to an external monitor. There is some connectivity - the MAC wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible and sound is transferred. Is it likely to be a cable connection problem (though the cable works with a Windows operating laptop)?
