Can't mirror my macbook pro desktop

hi there
Trying to mirror my desktop from the Macbook Pro on to the TV. All is setup fine, and can mirror my itunes library but can't mirror the desktop in general. I thought the idea was you could see anything on the screen
Appreciate any help
Regards
Chris

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.

    Only Apple knows that, but you can use a third-party app to mirror your computer display onto your Apple TV, like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com

  • Can I mirror my macbook pro screen to an Apple TV?

    Hello, I am using a 2010 macbook pro running OS X 10.8 and want to mirror the screen to my apple tv 720p running Apple TV Software version 5.0.2 (4250). Is it possible? How?
    I know it is airplay, but how exactly does it works? I want to mirror youtube videos, safari pages, etc.
    Thanks!

    Only recent Macs support Airplay Mirroring and I don't think yours will do it.  Go to this page:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/whats-new/features.html#airplay
    and read note 1 at the bottom of the page.

    It depends on which model MBP you have and what generation Apple TV you have.

    Are you using mirroring or using airplay within iTunes? If you are truly mirroring then you can view anything that is displayed on your computer through Apple Tv
    Or provide more info on your issue

  • Can´t connect my macbook pro to apple tv

    I can´t get my MacBook pro to connect apple tv.How to do?

    Hey Jonas!
    Depending on how you want to connect your computer to your Apple TV, I have a couple of articles for you that can help answer your question. First, if you have OS X Mountain Lion on your MacBook Pro, this article about AirPlay Mirroring will help you understand some of the options available to you with that feature, and at the bottom of the page is a link to instructions for setting up AirPlay Mirroring:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
    You can also have your iTunes Library connect to your Apple TV through a feature called Home Sharing, more information on which can be found here:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
    Hope that helps you understand some of the options available to you for connecting your MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Please help: I want to mirror my MacBook pro with my HDTV.  I realize I need to switch on my Mirroring Icon BUT I cannot find the icon on my menu bar or in the Display section of my System preferences.  Is it possible to get the Icon on my screen somehow?

    I want to mirror my MacBook Pro's screen to my HDTV.  I had it at one time by clicking the Mirror Icon on my upper menu bar but I do not have it any more?
    What am I missing?  In the System Perferences the display menu seems incomplete.  There is no where in there to set my MacBook Pro to mirroring.
    Can someone please help me?
    I would apprecate any help I get.
    Thanks

    The mirroring selection is in the "Arrangement" tab and only shows up on the MacBook Pro LCD, not the external display.

  • My Macbook pro desktop screen is white.

    My Macbook pro desktop screen is white. I had it hooked up to my TV and it went white. Everything works except the desktop is white. The launch pad works and the top menu.

    Hi Maclover222,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you only see a white screen on your MacBook Pro, the steps in this article can help:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    I'd recommend starting with these steps:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Best Regards,

  • I can't open iTunes, MacBook Pro 10.10.3

    I can't open iTunes, MacBook Pro 10.10.3

    Did you try this section of the support document?
    Opening iTunes
    It's possible that clicking the iTunes icon in your Dock or double-clicking an iTunes icon on your desktop could open (or be trying to open) an older version of iTunes. Open iTunes from the Applications folder to be sure you are opening the right version:
    Double-click your hard disk.
    Double-click the Applications folder.
    Double-click the iTunes icon.
    If you notice another copy of iTunes in the Dock after following these steps, here's a way to take care of that:
    Quit iTunes.
    Drag the iTunes icon out of the Dock.
    Drag the iTunes icon from the Applications folder to the Dock.

  • "Find iPhone" icon on Macbook Pro desktop?

    How do I put a shortcut "Find iPhone" icon on Macbook Pro desktop?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Apple hasn't released a “Find my iPhone” app for OS X. However, you can access to Find my iPhone on the Mac in http://www.icloud.com, logging in with your Apple ID and choosing Fund my iPhone.
    After doing this on your Internet browser, look at the URL bar. At the left of the URL bar, you will see the website icon, so drag it to your desktop to create a shortcut to access to Find my iPhone

  • Mirroring on macbook pro mid 2009

    I ma trying to mirror my macbook pro 2009 as described below to apple TV 3, no luck. Pls help.

    No, AirPlay Mirroring will not work out of the box. The requirements state that AirPlay mirroring works with MacBook Pro (early 2011 or Newer). Your MBP was manufactured before that.
    I would suggest checking out a third party program called AirParrot which can provide this functionality.

  • How can i reset my macbook pro without not deleting ilife pack?

    Your issue may not have anything to do with your files, it could be a corrupted cache file, reinstalling your OS and files from backup could be overkill and too much work.
    Run ALL of the free OnyX's checks, cleaning and maintainence aspects (not the log files) and reboot at the end.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Your machine will act a bit slow until the caches and spotlight are rebuilt, but it should act faster
    Your next step is to use OnyX Verify Preferences and "show only corrupt plist" files
    If you find some, make a note of their location and remove then to your desktop and reboot and start the programs responsible, reset your preferences.
