Apple TV Mirror display issue

I am currently using a 3rd Gen Apple TV with a late 2013 iMac. I can connect to AirPlay display and it automatically connects to "extended display" and the TV screen goes black however I get no options to use as a secondary display. When I click "Mirror display" nothing happens. I have tested on a later Macbook Pro, iPad Mini and iPhone 5 and everything works fine. Both computers are up to date and using OS X Yosemite.

  • Apple 27'' Cinema display issue with nvidia quadro 1800 - Win 7 64bit

    Hello,
    I'm trying to help out a buddy of mine with his cinema monitor.
    He has a Windows 7 x64 machine, with a Nvidia Quadro 1800 - monitor hooked in via DVI port.
    Basically when you boot the PC up with the Apple monitor, the monitor turns on and backlit but no display, no options for BIOS or anything like that, just lit up and black screen.
    I can boot up the PC with a Dell monitor and it boots up fine - and if I take the DVI out of the Dell monitor and plug it in to the Apple monitor while the machine is up and running, the Apple monitor comes on and works without issue - however, if you were to reboot it, or if it goes to sleep - I lose the Apple monitor, and have to start the process over.
    The Windows machine recognizes the Apple monitor, it displays as Cinema monitor - all the video card drivers are up to date - also had the same issue with a previous video card (I swapped the video cards out thinking initally it was a bad video card)
    What am I missing? 
    Thanks!

  • IPad 2 Lack of Apple support for Display Issue

    Recently I puchased two Ipad2's and one has a distinct yellowish tinge to all display white areas compared to the othe ipad2.  I realise there is some variability in the displays but this is quite a noticable difference leaving the entire display generally darker at various brightness levels compared with other ipad 2's I have compared it with.  For example, entering the  setup menu the greys are much darker and this does not appear to be an intensity issue.  Increasing the brightness does not solve the colouration issue.
    I contacted Apple express support today and as the iPad2 is still within the 14 days I asked for it to be replaced.  The Apple support representative refused stating I had to submit the item for service instead at my nearest apple service agent to have the issue assessed and corrected.  I have apple care on the ipad2 and was under the impression Apple normally honor the 14 day refund / exchange policy.  I spent considerable time on the phone with Apple Australia today and tried a hardware reset and answered several questions etc I am not using a screen protector either as the item is literally just out of the box.  Given the holidays I will not be able to get the unit into Apple servcie until after the 14 days expires.
    Has anyone in the forum experienced a similar issue with the display and had issues with Apple debating if there is a hardware problem with the display?  Or is there any way to fix the issue I have not already tried?  This is really annoying.  Normaly I would not worry about minor display differences but the issue seems to make the images darker on comparative measurements against other ipad2 units including the one I bought for my wife.  The only difference in the latter case is my ipad2 with problem display is a black model 32GB versus the 16GB white model ipad2 my wife has.

    Thanks for the advice, but there is no Apple store within the city I live.  The nearest is 300 km away.

  • PowerMac G5 - ATI Radeon Mac Edition + Apple 30" Cinema Display Issues

    Hi everybody,
    I just bought a 30" Apple Cinema Display for my (old but good) PowerMac G5 (2x2GHz).
    I'm using Leopard 10.5.6. When hooked up to the running system everything ist fine. But i recently had to reinstall Leopard and then I noticed, that after I boot from the DVD the whole screen went black/grey - so no colors at a very low resolution. So I had to do a "blind" install. Does anybody know why this happens? And is a fix availbable? Same thing happens when I boot into a NetInstall oder Netboot Image - the whole screen becomes black/grey as if the OS couldn't find a Color Profile and/or Driver.
    As said before - once Leopard is installed everything works fine.
    Thank you for your help.
    Best regards,
    Georg Lechner

    Ok, I think I kind of "solved" the problem. The issue has nothing to do with the Apple Cinema Display. I got the chance to hook up another display to that specific PM G5. Happens also with an BenQ TFT.
    I think the problem is the installed Radeon 9600 Pro. Gives only black/grey during installation. (even with the 10.5.6 Install Disc)
    No big deal so far. Problem solved for me, cause i switched from radeon to a geforce 6800 Ultra DLL.

  • Apple 15" Cinema Display Issues

    The left button on my apple 15" lcd monitor keeps flashing and opens the system preference menu. It opens the system menu everytime the button flashes. There is a long pause between every flash. I don't know what is causing this. I couldn't find any info relating to this problem. This a used monitor that I purchased this past weekend. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Apple TV mirroring sound issues

    Sound?  No rhyme or reason, but sometimes when I mirror my macbook pro (BRAND NEW as is the Apple TV) sometimes the sound comes through, and sometimes it doesn't.  It also won't let me manually change the output from internal to apple tv.

    I found a fix for this problem thanks to a friend of mine who I can only assume did a little research online!!
    The problem I had was having AirParrot once installed, and after the recent 10.9.2 update, the third party app messed up the way Mirroring was working..
    Here is the fix:
    1. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities.
    2. Run these commands respectively:
    sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
    sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
    sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
    sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
    This will uninstall kernel extensions related to AirParrot. Other solutions around the web being posted are missing the extensions within /Library/Extensions.
    3. Enter your administrative password when prompted.
    4. Restart your computer.
    I tried it once again and it worked like a dream!!!
    Here is the article for reference:

    Many Thanks for all who tried to help, and especially Wasim!!
    Hope this helps anyone with the same problem in the future!!

  • Hello Apple Fix the display issue.  MAcbooks suddenly stop detecting external display!!!

  • My apple tv mirroring is slow.  So slow it shuts off.  Any thoughts on cause?  I use this device in my office for presentations without a problem.  In my home with a stronger wifi router, I'm having issues.

    My apple tv mirroring is slow.  So slow it shuts off.  Any thoughts on cause?  I use this device in my office for presentations without a problem.  In my home with a stronger wifi router, I'm having issues.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
    Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
    and plays properly.
    Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
    Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
    I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
    Thanks again.

  • Just got iMac 21.5 can't get image on Apple Cinema HD display - is it thunderbolt issue?

    I just got my new iMac 21.5" desktop and tried to connect my 21" Apple cinema HD display. I have power to the external display but no image - screen blank. I'm wondering if it is a cable issue even though the adapter I used to connect this monitor to my MacBook Pro fit the thunderbolt port - is this a port or adapter issue?

    In continuing my research on this topic, I found this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5198
    Short version, the 23" Cinema HD is among one of several older "vintage" Apple displays that are no longer supported under Mavericks. No brightness control, and it's likely to not work reliably at all. I can't say why I was able to use it for as long as I did with no problems. I take all this to mean that the display itself works fine, but not with my new MBP Retina.
    Though a tempting excuse to spend another grand on a 27" Apple Thunderbolt display, I opted for a $250 HDMI monitor from Fry's instead.

  • G4 Mirror, no power at all even for the Apple 15" LCD display

    I bought an used G4 Mirror along with the matching Apple 15 LCD display.
    The problem is that it won't power up at all. Not even a hint of fan noise or a light indication.
    Funny thing was that it was working fine when it was at the seller's home.
    I did everything from replugging every connections possible such as the internal power cables, data cables, resitting the CPU, hard drive, graphic card, etc. I even pressed the power botton hard for longer time but it didn't work.
    One thing I've noticed is that the touch sensitive lighted switch located on the Apple LCD monitor isn't lighting up when connected to the G4 via ADC connection. Also, the touch switch is not responsive to the touch at all.
    The G4 won't power up without the monitor as well.
    Does it mean that I have a dead power supply?
    Thanks.

    Thank you all.
    I forgot to mention that I did place a brand new PRAM battery as well.
    I also checked the RAM and just about everything else I could imagine.
    I'm not completely clueless with the PC troubleshooting as I do build PC time to time. But this Mac is dead as a log when the power switch is pressed on.
    I have another beige Mac that has no trouble booting up without the PRAM battery. I have a PC that will boot even without the battery, RAM, graphic card, CPU, fans, etc.
    I haven't had a chance to buy the multimeter yet. But I too am suspicious about the PSU. I even opened up the PSU but I saw no blown capacitors, burnt transistors or anything that looks abnormal. Is there a website where they can DIY fix Mac Mirror PSU?

  • 23" Apple Cinema HD Display & Mac Pro (Power Button Issue)

    I have a 23" Apple Cinema HD Display (pre-aluminum model) hooked up to a Mac Pro (early 2008 model) via the Apple ADC-DVI converter. This display has two buttons (brightness and power control) which I can enable/disable in the display preferences. They do not react at all when disabled (surprise, surprise) and they do, when enabled (they flash when being pressed). The brightness button brings up the display preferences panel (brightness settings) and makes it disappear, when being pressed again. Up to this point it's all the way I would expect it. But: the power butten flashes too when pressed, but nothing else happens. With my previous Power Mac G5 (Tiger) it used to start/wake the machine or - when awake - put it back to sleep respectively and that is what I basically want it to do with my Mac Pro. Are there any ideas on what I might be missing here? As the brightness button still works as expected, this looks like a software (Leopard) issue to me.
    Oliver

    I think we may have traded posts in another thread about this, but just confirming: you still have the kernel-panic-on-wake issue even after upgrading to 10.5.2? That cleared it up for me.
    If you do ... do you by chance have anything plugged into the MacBook Pro's left USB port when it crashes? You might want to try leaving that port free when the machine is sleeping. A colleague swears that the left port is slightly underpowered, leading to all kinds of USB oddities when used, including kernel panics.

  • External Apple 17" Display issues

    I have an Apple 17" Display connected to my Powerbook 1.5Ghz but I no brightness slider shows up in the displays preferences with OsX 10.4.11. Therefore I can't adjust the brightness via software, or the button on the 17".
    Also the Powerbook 'appears' to have a slightly magenta tinge to the whites, which I am now used to, but the Apple 17" Display has a slightly yellow tinge to it. I have tried many many 'by eye' calibrations with the Apple's software display calibrator but I cannot get the two to have a similar colour white point.
    I'm not going for pro-level calibration, I just want the displays to have a similar color white point.

    Good info.
    That model monitor has only ADC connectivity. You must be using some form of adaptor? If so, can you provide its details? Does it use the DVI or the s-video ports?
    I'm not an expert on ADC but I know it carried video, power, and USB lines concurrently. If your adaptor is not fully emulating the ADC connector functions on an Apple desktop machine with ADC, it could prevent the computer from properly identifying the monitor and offering you the proper options.
    Apple recommends this adaptor:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8661LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg4NA
    Note it has an extra line and brings its own power supply to the party.
    I hope someone with more ADC experience that I can suggest what adaptors work best in your situation, Lacking that, you may have to look for another monitor that does not rely on ADC.
