Display Mirroring on TV

I am trying to remote control an iPod and be able to see the display on my TV. I know I can get a docking station to connect to a stereo unit, but I have to go over to the iPod to change playlists, change songs, etc. I know I can remote control the iPod, but is there a way to see the display of the iPod on a TV? I am not stuck on any particular model of iPod, I will buy any unit that can do this.
Thank you in advance for any help

this is not possible on any model iPod. YOu can only show either videos or photos on a tv screen

Mac OS X 10.7.4 ARD Issues When Observing/Controlling Computers with Display Mirroring/Different Resolutions

As if Macs in an enterprise environment could be more difficult to manage, now since our upgrade to OS X 10.7.(4) I have lost the ability to remotely control numerous Macs in our organization. The issue occurs when attempting to control a Mac running OS X 10.7.(4) that has their Display mirrored and the resolution does not match on both displays. What happens is that I can see the remote screen however it does not fill the entire Observe/Control window. Instead, the remote screen takes up about 50% of the window, the rest is black but sometimes will display a mirror image of the remote screen in the black area. What?! Yeah, I've attached a screenshot because this is ridiculous. The real problem is that I cannot control the computer when it has reached this state, the mouse no longer functions properly, it is not clicking where I place the mouse, etc. I have made sure that I have all updates including ARD Client/Server updates. I even tried VNC but as I have come to find out that is a whole other issue (doesn't work, sends me to the login screen, etc).
So here's what I need:
- A patch that is going to fix this issue
- A script to run that is going to change the remote screen resolution (I still have the ability to run remote scripts, etc. simply not Observe/Control)
Ideas?
<Image Edited by Host>

I found a way to work around this issue. Not a fix but a work around.
This is little application some one wrote to toggle mirroring on and off.
Mirror Displays
If you put this application in the client computer's /Aplications folder
you can use ARD or SSH to run the app and switch modes.
The problem only occurs for me when a client is set to mirror dissimilar displays with different aspect ratios.
I am only seeing this in Lion 10.7.4 and 10.7.5
Hope it helps someone....

IMac won't offer display mirroring option when connecting to HDTV with Thunderbolt to HDMI cable

I have an iMac, and am trying to connect to my HDTV to use as a second display (mirror). I am using a cable with a Thunderbolt connector at one end, and an HDMI on the other. I know the cable works because I have used it with my MacBook on other TVs. When I use this on my MacBook, I simply open displays, and between the tabs marked "Display" and "Color" there is always an "Arrangement" tab to select. When I try this same setup on my iMac, the only two tabs I can see are "Display" and "Color" - the option to mirror disdplay (or recognize the HDTV in any way) simply doesn't exist.
I would welcome any help. Thanks much, Doug.

OK, yes your Mid 2011 has a Thunderbolt port.
Reset > the System Management Controller
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
and the > NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
Then try connecting the TV to the iMac.

Will the first gen ipad support display mirroring via airplay when IOS5 is released?

From what I have read, IOS5 will support display mirroring on the ipad 2.. Is this likely to be added to the first gen ipad ? If so then great, but if not, why not? Im sure if you can wirelessly stream music and movies to an Apple TV device (connected via wifi) from the ipad one, then surely you must be able to use display mirroring ?

In case you didn't click on the link above that is on the Apple site:
AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2
Wow your audience in the board room, classroom, or living room. AirPlay now supports video mirroring. Which means you can wirelessly — and securely — stream whatever’s on your iPad 2 to your HDTV via Apple TV. Everyone in the room sees exactly what’s on your iPad display up there on the big screen — even when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out on photos.2
So unless you were told be Steve Jobs that the iPad 1 will also do AirPlay Mirroring it really doesn't matter what you have been told, you are posting at best speculation but more likely misinformation.
And no, don't have anything better to do.

Toggle Display Mirroring On/Off - alternate methods?

Does anyone know if there is a standalone application or script that will simply toggle Display Mirroring on or off?
Due to a custom setup I'm using, I can't access the menubar or System Preferences to do this.
I found a terminal utility that sort of does this but it leaves Terminal open after completing the task. I don't know how to tell it to close Terminal when done. Anyone know how to do this or how to integrate in to an Applescript that will do this?
Here is the link to the software I'm using: http://eruvia.org/software/osxmirroring/
Thank you!

Let me restate what I think you are saying and asking, just so I am sure I understand; you are using a projector along with the MBP's built-in display so that both are running at the same time, correct? Is this part important to you, meaning do you care that both displays are running or would you be happy to have just the projector running and the MBP's lid closed and screen not running? If that would be OK with you, e.g. just the projector running, then that may be the easiest thing to do to get content displayed on the projector at 1080p full screen.
If you do care that both screens are running, does it matter to you which is the primary screen, e.g. the screen with the menu bar along the top? Because you could set the projector to be the primary screen by moving the menu bar (under the Displays preferences Arrangement tab) and I believe that would also work to have your content show on the projector at 1080p in most cases.
Let me know if any of that makes sense because maybe I am completely misunderstanding the issue.

VIXIA/LEGRIA HF G30 true display mirror?

I know that the HF G30 has a mirror option that, when enabled, mirrors the video image horizontally. Unfortunately, for me as a diver this is only half way useful. I'm using an ikelite dive housing that has a mirror on the left side of the housing so I can see the display from behind while the display is in hinged position, folded to the cam body. For framing my shoots the mirroring works fine.
But whenever I need to change settings and the onscreen display comes up, then the G30 switches to unmirrored display. For ordinary use this is the right thing. But for underwater usage this isn't really helpful as this forces me to use the view finder ... which isn't exactly convenient with a half or full face mask, sadly.
Is there any display mirror option (maybe hidden) that allows me to constantly mirror the display even with all cam information in the screen also getting mirrored horizontally? While divers are probably not so much of interest to Canon I would be more than happy to hear that Canon actually want to help and offer a function that makes using the G30 under water more convient.

You were, just not directly. If you go to apple's mountain lion webpage, you'll see this note at the bottom:
1. AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, 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).

Lion login always goes back with display mirroring on

Display Mirroring Broken

I am running two displays, both Samsung, one is 27" one is 24". Prior to Mavricks OS, there was no problem with display mirroring. With Mavricks frequently, many times a day, when opening a document, displays are mirrored, no content shows on either monitor. Shutting off mirroring brings the requested file up on the main monitor.
The 27" is using HDMI via the integrated Display Port and the 24" is using the Dual-link DVI port.
A discussion on Other World Computing (i.e. macsales.com) the day after release of Mavricks validated this problem. Apple says they haven't heard about it, go figure.

This is the glossy marketing description of the new Multiple Displays features in Mavericks:
Multiple Displays
Desktop with menu bar and Dock
Each display connected to your Mac has a desktop with its own menu bar, so there’s nothing to configure. The Dock is available when you move your cursor to the bottom of the screen, letting you easily access menus and apps from anywhere.
Full-screen apps on each display
You can use full-screen apps on each display connected to your Mac. Swipe on the trackpad or mouse to switch between full-screen apps.
Multidisplay Mission Control
OS X Mavericks makes it easy to manage the apps running on each display. Mission Control shows you everything that’s on each display, including windows on the desktop and full-screen apps. If you want to move an app from one display to another, simply drag its thumbnail to the desired display.

Display Mirroring shortcut??

I have my Mac connected to my 55" Samsung via HDMI and use it as my primary monitor, not an extended view. However when i turn the TV off it reverts back to the laptop as being the primary monitor. I then have to get up and open the laptop and reselecct the Display Mirroring. Anyone know how I can change that or a keyboard shortcut???

Yes, I answered my own question in the post above yours.
I connected my MB to my external display as usual, restarted in SL install, clamshelled my MB by closing it, then plugging a USB device into it with the monitor still on, kicking the MB back into action via the external display as screen 1, you can now open the laptop and use the keyboard and mouse; i chose to use usb mouse/keyboard though and just followed the install instructions as per usual.
Easy really

Turn off display mirroring once and for all ?

Hi there,
I have a 13'' macbook pro, recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now every time I connect my external screen (a DELL E198WFP connected with the DVI output) the display starts in "mirroring" mode. I have to manually turn mirroring off every time. According to the documentation, MacOS is supposed to "remember" my settings the next time I connect the screen but it doesn't work. Previously I had a Macbook Air with Leopard and I had not this issue (the screen would start with mirroring turned off when I connect it). Is there any possibility to disable mirroring once and for all, as I never use this feature ? Thanks

Ok since you upgraded your system you might have a issue with your preference files for the displays. you need to Delete these two files reboot and Zap your PRAM. (Print this out)
#1. Delete these files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver"
#2. Turn off Computer
#3. Reset your PRAM by:
(From Apples instruction page)
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

External display mirrors but will not work side-by-side. What is wrong?

I am using a VIZIO HD TV as a second display . Setting the TV to 1920 x 1080 (it's max) and the iMac to 1920 x 1200, the two displays work correctly in the "Mirror" mode. When I set the "Arrangement" to side by side to create another display space, the TV displays the Invalid Mode error. The behavior does not improved when the two displays are set to lower resolution levels. This same TV works fine in all modes when connected as a second display to my Mac Book Pro.
Any ideas?

I apologize to everyone who is following this but I have a dilemma which I think Mr. Brody may be able to solve and I know of no way to contact him other than the forum.
Mr. Brody, you may be the "Geek" (compliment) I am desperately looking for, No one in our area .. and AppleCare (on all three of my units) has no answer.
I added an ASUS VH198T 19" monitor for viewing tutorials while working in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. DVI to mini for iMac. The ASUS runs at 60Khz and 1440x900 where the iMac is, of course 1680x1050. Each time the ASUS goes to sleep is closed, when it restarts, the iMac apparently sets it to one of it's standard resolutions 1600x900, unfortunately that's a little higher so I get flashing of the ASUS and ... WEIRD > Magic Mouse goes nuts with pointer jumping all over. Apple had a tech come by for the Mouse, wouldn't even consider the monitor, not an Apple product. Tech found nothing. I have talked with ASUS several times, they say it is the Mac and I now think they are right, especially after they sent me a replacement under terms of their warranty, very generous. It does the same! Both monitors work on our Xp Laptop, it lets me set the resolution to whatever I want.
When 'mirrored' the resolution IS set to 1440x900, works fine when return to individual UNTIL the next time it sleeps or turned off. Any suggestion???
Can Terminal allow a change from 1600 to 1440?? If so, how?? I'm not Linux or Unix literate, among other things.
Will most gratefully appreciate,
Ed in Pensacola

Mavericks Display Mirroring not working

When using an external display (either through a physical HDMI or through Airplay to my Apple TV), I'm unable to Mirror the displays. I'm able to select the option and I see the displays flicker and mirror for a brief moment and then they reset back to their previous cofniguration.
This had been working fine previously, the last thing I had done was use my Macbook pro retina to Airplay onto an Apple TV as an extended display.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Display Mirroring Problem

I am running OSX 10.6.8 on a 27" iMac. I have my HDTV connected via the Mini DisplayPort. The only way I have been able to use my TV as a monitor (e.g., to play a movie on the iMac and watch it on the TV) is to mirror the displays.
The problem with this is that I can't use my iMac whenever I am doing this.
Is there a way to play a movie on the mac and output it to the TV while I am using the computer for something else?
Thanks,
M.

Strange indeed.
Do you have to use an adaptor on the PowerBook's video-out port to connect the TV? Sometimes an adaptor by itself left on the computer can affect internal settings.
It was an old trick with the venerable PowerMac Beige G3 series to force certain monitors to work from a PCI video card. We'd attach a Mac-to-VGA adaptor to the logic board video-out port, but connect nothing to it, to trick the computer to "think" there was a real monitor attached there.
So...if you have been leaving a video adaptor connected to the computer, see if things change when you remove it.
Guessing here: Are you hot-connecting the TV? I don't know if that's good or bad on the newer Macs but, in the "dino-days" we were taught to attach extra monitors only when the computer was off.

Mac display mirroring...

My emac monitor has been dodgey for a couple of years, with sporadic raster shift problems -lasting for a couple of weeks at a time, and starting if its shut down for any ammount of time, or in hot weather.
This time is more serious though as I keep losing the screen completely - just a black screen. So I've got the cable for mirroring the monitor.
But... I can get it to work.
I have 2 other monotors..
an old apple multiple scan 15 display, which just sits there and does nothing (power is on and as I turn on te emac its power light flickers, but no display appears..
and a 17 inch CRT 'borrowed' off my wifes PC. when I turn on the emac its display shows the message "out of range" and sais it only goes up to 70mhz, and the emac display is 72mhz... So does this mean I cant use it as I cant seem to adjust the mhz on the emac?
Any help or advise appreciated, or I'll have to use the wifes PC, and I really sont want to do that (it takes at least 5 tries to get it to boot up properly....)
thanks
Andrew

Okay, so I've got a 17" tft display and hooked it up with the apple mini vga lead. And it works. but the new screen is 1280 x 1024 and the emac monitor is 1280 x 960... so the new monitor is stretching the screen display out by 64 pixels to fill the screen, resulting in everything being oblong when it should be square, and all the text being a bit blurry..
Is there any way of adjusting the output from the emac so that its 1280 x 1024, or making the new monitor leave a gap at the top and bottom and only displaying the 1280 x 960?
cheers.
