Apple tv 2 streams very slowly from my macbook when on BT home hub router...

I have had the ATV2 for about a year and a half. On the previous Virgin internet and going via a Linksys business router we had no problems. Since we moved to BT, and were given Infinity with the latest modem/router, the streaming of films from the macbook pro to the ATV2 is too slow to watch the film in real time. It stops to buffer every 10 minutes or so, but each time for at least 2-3 minutes.
The internet itself works very quickly, so it's just the streaming through the router that's a problem. Are there any router setting I can change to help it?

Keith and John, thanks for quick response.
I never opted in to BT FON or BTOpenzone, and don't recall them ever appearing when I occasionally searched wireless networks. BT WiFi popped up spontaneously just recently. I think opting out may fix the problem, but I would prefer to have the choice rather than being effectively forced into this. I have been using encrypted connection for several years at the full 54Mbps before this happened. I have tried to change the channel too, but no difference. I accept that the wireless speeds are file transfer rates and are not actually broadband speed - the broadband speed has not been affected, it's just the wireless speed that decreased. It's very annoying when I've been using the same BT Home Hub and laptop for around four years and now this has happened. It seems ironic that I have to connect via the public connection to my own Home Hub in order to get proper wireless speed.
I assume that no-one has reported different wireless speeds between their "direct" wireless connection and BT WiFi (or its predecessors)?
Is there any way to access the BT WiFi configuration in the hub? (The traditional software doesn't seem to.)
Are the later generation hubs likely to avoid this problem?
Thanks

Streaming youtube video from my macbook to Apple TV?

Hello ...
Can I stream youtube video from my macbook pro (OS X 10.9.2) to Apple TV? with same HD quality, similar to iPad and iPhone.
The built-in AirPlay feature is not satisfactory and gives poor video quality.
There might be some kind of plugins for Safari or Firefox than allow to switch to Apple TV, but I couldn't find any.
Please help.
Thanks.

Thanks Rudegar ...
Yes! my hardware support AirPlay Mirroring but it doiesn't stream HD quality with no lagging
I just want something exactly similar to what happens in an ipad/iphone, just one click and the stream would be diverted from my macbook to the apple TV directly from the my internet modem
Is there such way !!??

Can I stream a movie from my Macbook to my Apple TV on one display, and still use my Macbook for other things?

I have a Macbook Pro and an Apple TV. What I'd like to do is stream a movie from my CinemaNow Account to my television by using my Apple TV and my Macbook. I know that I can do this my using the mirroring feature, however then I can no longer use my Macbook for anything else because my TV will only display what is on the screen of my Macbook. Now with this is mind, what then is the point of having multiple displays through the use of my Apple TV, if only one display can be used at a time unless they both show the same image? Or is there a way for me to be able to stream the movie to my TV and still use my Macbook for other purposes (multi-tasking)?

To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen.

Yosemite running very slowly on new MacBook Pro

I just bought a new 13" MacBook Pro (not Retina) last month. When I set it up I copied the data and apps from my 2006 MacBook running Snow Leopard. When I try to open apps such as Safari or jEdit or Adobe Reader or NeoOffice it seems to wait forever (or at least 30 seconds) to open them. I thought this would be faster than Snow Leopard, but it's not!
Should I just back this all up with my SuperDuper and start over?
Here are my Etrecheck data:

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
One of the myths that circulate on this site is the myth that the current version of OS X always needs to more than 4 GB of memory to run well. The myth is based on nothing except the fact that some people keep repeating it. Apple is today selling new Macs with 4 GB of memory that can never be upgraded after they leave the factory. Those Macs come with Yosemite preinstalled, and it can never be downgraded to an older version. So if you were to believe the myth, you would also believe that Apple knows that it's selling products that are permanently crippled right out of the box, no matter how they're used. Read this discussion before you spend money on memory that you may not need.
Some users do need more than 4 GB of memory for full performance. They are running memory-intensive applications, such as photo or video editors, or they're running many programs concurrently, or they have more than one account logged in at the same time. Whether you're one of those users can be determined, in part, by observing the level of memory pressure in the Memory tab of the Activity Monitor window. If the memory pressure graph always stays in the green zone, then a shortage of memory is not causing the problem.
Even if memory pressure is high, that doesn't necessarily mean that adding more memory will help. If one or more processes has a memory leak—a kind of bug—then adding memory, no matter how much, won't help. It will merely delay the onset of the problem, perhaps only by a few minutes or less. That is very likely the case if you already have more than 4 GB.

Safari is running very slowly on my MacBook Pro.

Safari is running extremely slowly on my MacBook Pro. It often pinwheels t often pinwheels and then gets stuck so that I have to force quit or reload the pages. I went to the genius bar and they found nothing but reloaded the entire operating system. It still isn't working. Any suggestions?

Thanks. That helped a lot. Defeats the purpose of the update though.

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium suddenly printed very slowly from PC

Hi, and thanks for any insights.
I have a client with an Officejet Pro 8600 Premium, and printing to this printer over USB has suddenly become very slow. The dedicated PC is XP with 2 GB of ram and only using 40 GB on a 200 GB drive. The printer has two trays, with tray1 dedicated to checks, and tray 2 for anything directed to plain paper. The printer is not connected to a network, but dedicatd to this PC. The PC is current with updates.
Checks print at the normal speed, and copying prints at reasonable speed, but whejn printed from the PC anything directed to tray 2 prints at a snail's pace . This is new behavior.
I have printed status pages and performed print head and allignment processes. Still, this behavior persists.
I looked i the event log and saw nothing that suggested an evident system issue. Windows update only shows Security Essentials updates for the duration during which the slowness started.
The PC is not acting strangly in any other way.
Any suggestion would be helpful.

Hi,
The information is very general, this applies for many HP printers:
Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
Solution: Check the print quality setting. Best and Maximum dpi provide the best quality but are slower than Normal or Draft. Draft provides the fastest print speed.
Cause: The print quality was set to a high setting. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges. NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low on ink message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
CAUTION: Wait until you have a new ink cartridge available before removing the old ink cartridge. Do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the printer for an extended period of time. This can result in damage to both the printer and the ink cartridge.
For more information, see: Check the estimated ink levels
Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink. Printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Contact HP support
Solution: Contact HP support for service. Go to: www.hp.com/go/customercare. This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems.
If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.
Cause: There was a problem with the printer.
Regards.

Can I use apple tv to stream flash content from my PC?

Hello.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

Apple TV 2 - streaming videos slowly on HD TV

Hi Guys,
I have been steaming a lot of videos from my iTunes library to my Apple TV 2 without any problems, everything worked just fine untill a week ago. I've noticed it takes 2 or 3 minutes to load before the movie even starts and sometimes it just doesnt work, also some scenes shock as like its too heavy. However I always use AirVideo to convert my files to M4V and always worked fine.
Does anybody else knows this problem? and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks!

This is not possible.

Iphoto is streaming very slowly with my new ATV 2? why?

I have about 100+ Events. Some Events have 20 pictures, some have 100 pictures; I have two issues
1) Trying to load an Event and the pictures in the Event I feel takes around 1min+ most of the times (feels like forever) - I dislike the experience
2) the Events are arranged OLDEST to NEWEST. The Newest is in the bottom, it takes forever to get to the Newest Event - is there anyway I can rearrange NEWEST to OLDEST - I played around a bit but did not succeed.
Thanks for the support in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your slideshows are slow, it's likely to be your network that is slow, check for interference and change wifi channel if necessary.
I use albums for my photos on the Apple TV rather than events, you can arrange albums into any order you wish in iphoto and that order is retained on the Apple TV.

HT201343 Why does apple not allow me to stream DVD's from my macbook pro to my apple TV?

Why does apple allow me to mirror everything but DVD's to my apple tv? I get the checkerboard of death on both screens when i try to mirror a DVD!?!?!?!

Probably digital rights protection?

Stream audio & video from my MacBook Pro to my HDTV

What components do I need to stream video from my Mac Book Pro to HD TV. I have wireless access throughout my home.

One common way is to use a DNLA server and client. Some TVs are internet-capable and have the ability to receive media streamed on a local network. If not, you will need a device attached to your TV which acts as the DNLA client - such as a PlayStation 3 or Boxee.
You still need server software running on your Mac, though - look into Twonkyserver and TVMobili. Some network drives will also act as a DNLA server, so you can store your media there and not have to keep your Mac open and running.
