AppleTV loses streaming connection from laptop - screen-saver/sleep?

Hi,
I am trying to watching movies saved to my laptop by streaming them directly via AppleTV (initiating through Apple TV interface).
At first, it seems to work fine - the streaming works - but after 15 or 20 minutes, the connection drops and the AppleTV appears to have lost the link to my iTunes account (it asks for me to set up the iTunes account details new). When I reawake my laptop from sleep and reaccess the AppleTV interface, it 'finds' the link again.
I have experimented by disabling the screen-saver by placing the cursor in the bottom-right of the screen, and the problem does not occur. Nevertheless this is not a proper fix for the problem.
Can anyone help me find an automated way to stop the laptop from going to sleep or activating the screen-saver when streaming movies from AppleTV, but not when the laptop is not being used?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have the same issue with my Mac Mini.. Ive gone into the energy saver settings and changed computer sleep to never as well as the display sleep to never but can not get it from disconnecting.,

7510e printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep

I own a 7510e all in one printer, I connected it wireless again after having it connected with a USB
cable, I had to do this because my printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep or if I get a power outage, this has been going on since I purchased it last year. I got a new wireless router/modem combo from my ISP server and hoped that would solve the problem but it has not.
I cannot get any apps except for those that are on the front of my printer which are just for small kids. I am now told that this printer has been discontinued and 7520 has replaced it, I do not wish to spend another $200.00 in less than a year for a printer. It is registered with HP connected and I have a Efax # and HP connected address, I did everything correctly but it seems that each time I set it up wireless it messes up my desktop windows 7 home premium 64 bit, cloud services told me not to use IE 10 but we are ready to download IE11 so I am using IE 10, this time HP support assistant quit working and I could not even uninstall it until I downloaded microsoft fix it and then redownloaded it from HP web site.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, I am not on a home group yet it always tells me I do not have administrators permission to do a lot of things, I am the only user.

Hi emma22
Here is a document for Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.

I checked and there is no way to turn off the sleep mode on this model.
I included a document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection and to try Solution three: Assign a static IP address to the printer. You will need to get your It department most likely to set this up for you if you don't have full admin rights.

My imac loses wifi connection when it goes to sleep, how to correct?

My iMac loses wif connection when it goes to sleep. How do I correct?

Are you running OS X Lion? If so there are unfortunately numerous threads on here discussing exactly the same problem. So far there doesn't seem to be a definitive solution, with everyone hoping that Apple will come up with a permanent fix.
Here's a quick search of these forums alone - depressing reading:

Stream media from Laptop to TV...HELP!!

I am cutting my cable and want to watch shows/movies online by connecting my laptop to my HDTV. Laptop only has VGA (TV does also). I want to maintain quality picture and sound but not sure how to go about this. Can it be done wirelessly? If so, what products do you recommend. I'm completely new to this!
I just bought a Roku but I'm already missing some of my shows that are only available online (not available through Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc). Maybe the Roku was not the best option...
Thanks!

Analog Quality "VGA" is not half bad at all at the highest resolution. Find yourself a good cable that shields from interference etc. You will also need a Line In, cable to go from the headphone jack on your laptop to the audio in , input usually located next to the VGA port on the television. It should be color coded.
In answer to your question... I wonder if this product would work

Portege R500 - Switch view from laptop screen to LCD projector

Hello - new here, urgent request. We are having a meeting and I am using the Portege R500 for the first time with LCD Projector which is also a Toshiba.
How do I switch the view from the laptop screen to the projector screen? I thought it was Function F5 (Fn F5) but it isn't working.
Can anyone help?

Hi
Yes, you have to use the FN+F5 to switch to the external monitor or to external projector, etc
Firstly you have to connect the notebook with projector while the both devices are off.
After you have connected the projector you could power up the notebook.
Then try to switch to external projector using the FN+F5 key combination

How do i remove the airplay option from the screen saver on my apple tv. Its blocking all my pictures

The Airplay Screen saver option telling me to choose a wi fi and choose this apple tv keeps poping up on my apple tv when it goes on screen saver mode. It blocks all of my photos showing on my screen saver. Can anyone help me to remove this

Welcome to the Apple community.
Assuming that both devices are connected to the same network and that airplay is not turned off in your Apple TV settings, then you should be able to see the airplay icon when playing content on your iPad, by tapping the screen to reveal the playback control bar.
If you do not see the airplay icon when you do this, you might try restarting the iPad, the Apple TV and your router.

Cant connect from laptop to tv

hi all!
my mom wants her s10-3t to be connected to our tv which has a vga pc input..
i suppose vga out from laptop to vga in on the tv?
i tried detecting the tv on the laptop but it wont detect. i also tried to check the phrase "connect to 2nd vga anyway?" or something that said like that. pressed fn+f3 or win key + P and tried all options but still no signal flowing to the tv.
i have reformatted her laptop a few months ago (for some reason) and installed all drivers that i have downloaded here in lenovo site.
before i formatted her laptop we didnt had a chance to connect it to the tv.
any help? or i must have missed some driver or something to install to the laptop from its installers? what driver is needed to help it run via vga out to tv?
i repeatedly tried installing the chipset, bios, tv tuner, vga and nothing works.

hi bklixuz,
Welcome to Lenovo Forums!
There may be few things that you might want to check.
-Most TVs has an input/source option. Make sure your TV is set on VGA source mode.
-Pressing Fn+F3 should give you an interface for display selection. if that did not appear Try pressing:
Fn + F5: Open the interface for integrated wireless devices settings (on/off).
Fn + F6: Enable/Disable the touchpad.
to test the function option if it is working fine If those did not work either then Try reinstalling Lenovo Energy management and try the Fn+F3 again.
Download it here:
Lenovo Energy Management (Win7)
IN1EGC25WW5.exe
7.19 MB
Lenovo Energy Management (WinXP)
IN1EGC25WW1.exe
4.18MB
- Try using other display VGA Cable.
Hope This helps,

When I return from a screen saver or a program that uses the whole screen, firefox 4b7 returns a black screen.

Any time the computer is left for a long duration of time (powers off monitors or goes into screen saver) firefox returns black and must be closed.
The same problem occurs when using a program that goes into full screen (game, etc.)

You can try to disable hardware acceleration.<br />

Printer loses wireless connection when it goes to sleep?

My printer loses wireless connection to my router when it goes to sleep and I have to input the WEP key again. As long as the printer is awake it works fine. The wireless light remains on.
Printer is HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and the router is a Verizon 7500.

If you mean WPA, that is good.
Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

I lose internet connection every time my computer sleeps

HI, I lose internet connectivity everytime my laptop sleeps or shuts down. why? and how do I maintain connectivity with wireless router?

If you had mountain lion, you could've used a feature called power nap. It keeps networking on even when the mac is asleep.
On other OS, I guess its bound to disconnect all networks when it goes to sleep You can try an app called Caffeine that doesn't let it go to sleep.

How to stream content from laptop to apple tv?

Hello everyone,
I want to purchase a Apple TV but have want to know a little more before purchasing. If I am watching something on my laptop from a website or whatever it is, am I able to stream this content from my laptop to Apple TV?
I am not sure how this works and need some help.
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can mirror your desktop, if your computer meets the specifications.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

Limited connection from laptop

The printer was succesfully set up on the home PC using our wireless network however when the printer is connected to my laptop the connection is 'limited'. How can I get a regular connection with my laptop? Thanks.

Make sure you enter your correct Network Key, limited connectivity error normally occurs when you enter a wrong/invalid network key...
If you are not sure about the wireless settings on your network follow the link here

Humming from Laptop Screen

Hi guys,
I have had a L300D 21Z for about 5 months now and just recently noticed it has developed a kind of humming/Buzzing for the LCD screen.
When the laptop display shuts down the sound goes away so I know the screen is the culprit..
Anyone experienced anything similar? Any way to remedy this?
Thanks in Advance!
Martin

Depends on whether you can do it yourself or not. An inverter is not very expensive.
See http://www.irisvista.com/tech/ for dissaembly instructions and check some of the repair guides at the bottom of the page.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
