Delay in signal between iMac / Macbook iTune to Apple TV

Hello, I am having a problem getting my iMac (Mid 2011, OS X 10.8.2) to Airplay/Mirror with the Apple TV to include getting the iTunes to play audio or movies without the audio sounding choppy and the mirroring having this huge delay in movement.
I also updated my MacBook (Late 2009) with Mountain Lion and I tried Home Sharing iTunes using the Apple TV and I get the same choppy sound out put.
I updated the software of the Apple TV to 5.1 and my iPhone, iPad (Airplaying and Mirroring) works great with it, but as stated above the iMac and MacBook not cutting it. I would really appreciate it if someone can share some feedback with me on this issue.
Thanx

Purchase a router.
Connect it to the Internet modem.
Connect all devices to the router either via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

  • Loosing signal between my macbook pro and Neatgear 1000

    I am loosing connection between my macbook pro and my netgear 1000 on a daily basis. It seems to work fine with other wifi devices such as the printer. Howevere, I do have the same problems with my iphone that also looses wifi contact on a daily basis. I have to restart the router to get it to work. What is wrong?

  • Airplay mirroring between my MacBook Pro and Apple TV (1080p one) has always worked fine until now. I only sometimes get video but usually just audio. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

    When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

    I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
    I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly!

  • Mail malfunctioning in different ways between iMac, MacBook pro and iPhone

    I yesterday purchased an iMac from a friend and under her recommendation installed OS ML on both it and my MacBook Pro.
    Now mail and the syncing between the three is being completely whacky; it works fine on my MacBook pro, on my iPhone i have emails from the last two days then it skips to emails from 2010, on my iMac on the other hand, all the emails appear to be fine in the subjects, but then the contents of the email are completely screwed up, for instance in the body of an Email from the iTunes store with the title 'Your Receipt ####' will actually have the contents of an email a friend sent me in 2007 ?!
    What is going on? Also I am really unsavvy so I have no idea if this is something I did??
    HELP!!

    Too much going on here to understand. You should break this down into the mail issues for each device and then separately for sycing. Are you using POP email, Exchange, other? How are you syncing? - iCloud, Exchange?
    If I had to guess and you are using POP, seems like the iMac had corruption in the mail database either before or during the ML update. I believe ML Mail makes changes to the database the first time it runs. Do you have a backup? You may be able to try again or restore from there.
    To understand the sync issue you need to provide more information.

  • Battery & Leads between iMac/Macbook

    Love my new MacBook, good spec and delivered in 24 hours, great display.
    Three questions...
    1) With regard the battery. The manual and promo's tell me the battery will last 5 hours, depending on 'usage'. I've charged it for the second time this morning and it was telling me it was charged for 5 hours or more. Switched it on to use on the train into work with Vodafone dongle attached. Used the internet for 25 minutes, no big downloads or anything, and the battery is already down to 2 hours and 50 minutes left. What are others finding with the new MacBook battery or does it need a few charges to reach its full capacity?
    2) With regard connecting with my iMac. My iMac has various ports including USB2 and Firewire and connects to various back up devices. Obviously I'm aware my iMac can 'talk' to my MacBook via Bluetooth. However, to move large files between the two computers, such as video files which are at least 5gigabytes in size, what leads do other MacUsers recommend, bearing in mind as we know, that the MacBook only has USB2 ports.
    3) It is disappointing not to have the Firewire port on the new MacBook as that's how I download from my video camera onto my iMac. However, I've ordered a new lead which is USB2 to mini-DV which will suffice. Have others found this adequate?

    From a Google search:
    "Compatibility with Current FireWire Products
    FireWire 800 provides two modes of transmission:
    1. The pure beta mode (a FireWire 800 device connected to a FireWire 800 port with a FireWire 800 beta cable)
    2. The backward-compatible legacy mode (a FireWire 400 device connected to a FireWire 800 port or vice versa with a FireWire 800/FireWire 400 bilingual cable)
    FireWire 400 devices use a 6-pin or 4-pin connector while FireWire 800 devices use a 9-pin
    connector. Existing FireWire 400 devices can be plugged into either type of port with the appropriate cable. FireWire 800 devices can achieve FireWire 800 speeds only when connected to a FireWire 800 port."
    Site is: http://www.firewire-1394.com/what-is-firewire-800.htm
    There has been lots of discussion of the new MacBook not having firewire. I speculate that it was Apple's approach to keep a gap between the MB and the MBP now that the MB has other MPB features (improved video, backlit keys, etc.).
    MB meets my needs (never used FW in two plus years of owning an original MB) but I don't use firewire devices. If I ever need to my desktop will accommodate them.

  • Transfer Hard Drives Between iMac & MacBook

    Hello! I have an iMac that I was using for personal and a MacBook that I was using for business... I now need to switch my uses and need to transfer all applications, files, documents, photos, etc (basically just switch entire hard drives) between the two computers... I don't even know where to begin?!? There's not a whole lot on either computer... but the files are very important...
    Does anybody know of the easiest and quickest way to go about this?!? Please let me know!
    Also, does anybody know if it's possible to set up an ipod nano on 2 computers? My desktop and laptop??
    Thanks a Bunch!!!

    I'll try the first questions. In some situations you could hook up your MacBook with a firewire cable in Target Disk mode to the iMac and clone or migrate your system directly from one computer to the other. However in your situation you don't want to erase the files from either machine. It's also not a good idea to clone one system directly to the other because they are totally different machines that may have different drivers included in the initial OS install. So this is what I suggest.
    1) Use an external drive to back up one or both of your systems. If the drive is large enough to partition it into 2 partitions then clone the iMac to one partition and clone the MacBook to the other partition. Otherwise you could still do it by just cloning one system. Use Carbon copy cloner or SuperDuper to make the clone.
    2) If you have both imaged cloned to the external connect it to one of the machines and run the Migration assistant to migrate the User files and Applications from the external system that you want. For example, connect the external to the iMac, run migration assistant, and choose to migrate the user files from the MacBook image.
    3) If you are only able to make one backup, lets say you cloned the iMac to the external. Keep the external on standby. Power down your MacBook and connect it to your iMac with a FireWire cable. Hit the power button and hold down the "T" key to boot it into target disk mode. The MacBook's internal drive should now show up on the desktop of your iMac. Run the Migration Assistant from your iMac and choose the MacBook drive to Migrate from.
    4) If the previous step was successful(I would test everything thoroughly) then connect the external drive to your MacBook and run the Migration Assistant to migrate the User files from the external to your MacBook.

  • Help syncing Mail folders between iMac & Macbook Air

    My laptop and iMac sync properly in Mail except for the Sent folder.  I send from two accounts other than my iCloud accounts.  When I delete or move a message from my Sent folder, it does not delete or move on the other device.  Anyone have a solution?

  • Streaming iMac (via iTunes) to Apple TV 3 verry slow

    Since about a month i have an apple tv 3 generation. I prepare movies in iMovie and publish them in iTunes. Via iTunes I stream these movies to the Apple TV. In the beginning I had no problems, but since about a week streaming is become verry verry slowly. Please, could you advice how to solve this problem.
    I use a iMac 21,5" / 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / Memory: 4GB 1067 MHz RAM / OSX version 10.8.1. Both the Apple TV 3 and the iMac are up-to-date.
    Thanks in advance for your help!!!
    Best regards,
    Jeroen

    Hi Jeroen,
    Is your wifi router fairly modern? I assume so since you say streaming once worked well.
    Is there an old computer somewhere in your house (or your neighbors' if you don't have a password on your wifi <grin>)?  An old device that can only do the original wifi standard (802.11b) can cause the whole wifi to run at slow speed.
    Good luck,
    John

  • I have imac, macbook, ipad2, 2 iphone 4s and I want to share music, iphoto and apps between all the devices but keep e-mail and contacts separate and use icloud. How can I do that?

    i have imac, macbook, ipad2, 2 iphone 4s and I want to share music, iphoto and apps between all the devices but keep e-mail and contacts separate and use icloud. How can I do that?

    The ID for iTunes must be the same on both devices for it to automatically download purchases made on the other phone.
    For example, if you have been using [email protected] for iTunes, continue to do so. One of you could also use [email protected] for their iCloud account and the other one use [email protected] for theirs, alternatively you could use [email protected] and [email protected] for the two separate iCloud accounts.

  • How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook?  I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.

    How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook?  I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.  The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account.  how do I fix this?

    I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account.  It says that i have to authorize my macbook and sign into iTunes, but then says its already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    Hi stuartbonk,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Here are some steps you can try if you keep getting asked to authorize your MacBook for iTunes:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203160
    If you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize, try these suggestions.
    Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
    To authorize your purchases from an administrator account, follow these steps:
    Log in to the administrator account.
    Note: If you don't have access to an administrator password, you'll need to contact the administrator of this computer. If this is a work computer, this may be your IT department.
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download the latest version free.
    Choose Store > Authorize Computer.
    Enter your iTunes account name and password.
    Note: If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to log in to the iTunes Store and authorize each account separately.
    Quit iTunes.
    After you've authorized your computer on your administrator account, you'll need to log out and log back in to the user account you'd like to play your purchases from. Once you're logged back in, simply open iTunes, select an iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. The item should begin to play.Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.Remove the SC Info folderIf you're still unable to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:
    OS X
    Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
    Choose Go > Go to Folder.
    Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
    If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
    Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
    Restart the computer and open iTunes.
    Authorize your computer to play your purchases. Note: If you have multiple accounts you'll need to authorize your computer for each account. For more information on how to authorize your computer, see this article.

    I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad.  I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there.  How do I go about doing the sync?

    The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.

    Hi vichochile,
    If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -
