Dissapointed with Airplay performance...

Last than a year since becoming a MAC guy and I guess this will be the first time I'm dissapointed with an Apple product… MBA mid 2011, Mountain Lion OS and Apple TV 3, the mirroring function sounded so great since I had to hook a long HDMI cable across the room to watch movies on my computer. Everything went well considering I payed US$180 for it down here in Brazil (that's the price you pay for living in this third world country!) Anyway, installation went smooth, to get the best of it I used a LAN cabe to connect the Apple TV to the G network router… Now the fall offs:
- Image quality much worst than the HDMI cable, I can live with that and that's the price you pay for been wireless.
- The remote control is useless on mirror mode, can not pause or control anything, I expected to be able to at least pause what I'm watching and not having to do it on my MBA.
- An annoying bug, after Apple TV goes to sleep… I can either wake it up via remote control or the mirror icon o MBA, but the thing is it will not stream audio, video only and sound keeps coming out of the MBA speaker, so I have to manually restart the Apple TV, after that audio and video stream works normally. Very annoying to have to do it every use! No matter how many times I enable or disable the Airplay only after the Apple TV reset it I can get audio to work….

i was watching my processors (all 4 of them), and notice the same thing. i'm using FCP 5 on a quad g5 and x-raid.
only 1 processor is at 100%, and the others 20%, while rendering in FCP.
i'm really really disappointed to learn that FCP doesn't even come close to using all available power, especially when i bought this computer to use FCP. And even worse that its apple software running on all apple hardware, so it should use all the power it can.
i hope apple does something about this, soon.

  • Apple TV having problems with Airplay

    Hi
    I'm having problems with Airplay on my Apple TV. It will play A video once then errors out. Wifi has full strength and software is up to date. i have tried forgetting the wifi and reconnecting. This will fix the problem for a moment and then it errors out again. Netflix and everything else seems to be working fine just airplay keeps kicking me out. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi mrshoughton,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your Apple TV. If you continue to have issues with Airplay performance from your device/computer to your Apple TV, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful. In particular, if you are using Airplay from iTunes on a computer, you may want to rule out any WiFi issues by temporarily connecting your computer and your Apple TV directly to your router via Ethernet, as noted in the second article below:

  • Problem with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac (purchased April 2013) running OS X Mountain Lion and am having issue with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes via Apple TV 3 running the latest update.
    I have no problem streaming ITunes music (audio) to my Apple TV 3 via AirPlay.
    However, when I enable Airplay Mirroring to ATV3 (either via System Prefs or via the Airplay Mirroring menulet icon at upper right of the screen), 2 things happen:
    1. My iMac screen gets mirrored to my HDTV via ATV3 as expected (good)
    2. Music (audio) stops playing via ATV3 (bad) - this is the key issue I am trying to resolve
    When i disable Airplay Mirroring, I am able to again play music via ATV3.
    Am I missing a setting somewhere to enable BOTH video and audio Airplay mirroring from my iMac via ATV3?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I think I have found the reason for my problem...

  • Ios 7.0.6 Problems with Bose SoundLink Air with Airplay

    Hello,
    We recently updated all of our ios devices to ios 7.0.6. We have found that when using our Airplay Bose speaker, eveything will work great for a minute or so just to suddenly drop. However, it works just find with my Macbook Pro. I have slowed wireless signal (2.4 GHz N wireless) and still have the same problem. Has anyone else had this problem and did you solve it?

  • Trouble with AirPlay and streaming from iTunes when on same wireless band

    I was having this problem with AirPlay before, but after the last update now I'm having the same problem with iTunes streaming. (Apple TV 2nd gen)
    The problem is this: if I try to stream something via AirPlay or my iTunes library and both devices are on the same wireless band (I have a dual-band cisco E2500 router), for example, the 5ghz band, then streaming will be extremely slow and choppy to the point of losing connection. If however, one of the devices is on a different band (my MacBook on the 2.4ghz and the AppleTV on the 5ghz, for example), then everything works fine.
    I've already upgraded my router's firmware, so that didn't help.
    Has anyone else run into this and been able to resolve the issue?

    Hi jack4120,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has a list of things to check for issues using AirPlay:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5209
    Troubleshooting performance issues
    Wi-Fi Connection
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
    Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.

    Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

    This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
    My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

  • Anybody else having problems with airplay with ios 5.1 on iphone 4s

    So i bought an iphone 4s a few months back and it came with ios 5, i then tryed it with my airplay speakers and they kept cutting out so i googles about it and found there was a known problem with iphone 4s and airplay speakers.
    ios 5.0.1 then came out a few weeks later and the problem seemed to be fixed and i was happy as they worked fine after that
    ios 5.1 then came out so i updated my 4s to this and started playing music through airplay and they started to cut out again, i turned them off and on and it happened again, then i reset them to my wifi router and the problem still occured
    Is anybody else having this problem with airplay on there iphone 4s running ios 5.1?
    If so, apple really need to sort this out! I bought my iphone with high expectations and to pay all that money for it not to work is not good

    Try resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider.

    Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple?  I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

    Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
    BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

  • After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

    After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

    Amazon Prime reply app does not allow video airplay - nor do several other content providers.
    It must have something to do with digital rights/copyright.

  • Potential Problems with Airplay and Mountain Lion

    Hey Everyone,
    I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I tried to use Airplay with our Macbook Pros. Airplay would work with all of the iOS Devices, but when it came to using with the MBP, it would either show a black screen, or a frozen image of my screen. I called AppleCare, and the rep told me it was a problem with the AppleTV, so I returned it and bought a new one, and it did the same thing. I found out that the problem was occuring because of the type of router I was using. I have a dualband router, and I set everything on one band of the router. I decided to try to place the laptops on a different band, and that's all it took. My airplay now works flawlessly.
    So, if you're having a problem with airplay, and you have a dualband router, try placing your computer & iOS devices on the opposite band, and it should work perfectly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need advise on large file processing with good performance

    Hi All,
    I am working on a program in which I have to read millions of records from application server file.For this, I am reading 1 million records each time and uploading into the DB-table.
    what is the best approach to process the millions of records.what I am currently doing is, I read 1 million records one by one , modify each and every record based on some conditions and store them in one internal table and update the DB table.
    I am also thinking alternate approach is,read 1 million into one internal table and after that within the loop, modify each and every records for given condition and update the DB table.
    which approach is the best one?
    you can advise me any other alternate approches with good performance.
    Regards,
    Nivas
    Edited by: Nivas4081 on Jul 24, 2008 2:55 PM

    Hi Joshi,
    Thanks for your reply reply. I have tested both ways as I mentioned in my query but reading record by reocrd and update data packets takes less time than reading into iternal table,then modify and update the DB table.
    Hi ralph,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The modifications are similar in all the lines.I get related data from other class/method,do some calculation and modify each each record.
    Are there any performnace tricks to be followed when processing large amount of data.by the way I am reading certail amount of records say 400K and updating DB table using parallel processing.
    Apart from this, any suggestions on this?
