Games from Mac to ATV via Airplay

Hello. Why is it not possible to play games from my Macbook pro (Mountain Lion) with ATV (3rd generation) via Airplay mirroring? I can mirror my desk top and watch movies and online video streams with no problem but games lag terribly. On the Macbook screen they run flawlessly but freeze and stutter on the ATV. I have tried this connected via ethernet as well as wirelessly and the result is the same. If ATV is just mirroring the screen of my Mac then surely it shouldn't matter what the source of the signal is?

playing a game have a hard demand on the cpu, and video card
mirroring have a hard demand on the cpu and video card
playing a movie don't have that hard demand on the cpu and the video card
just showing the desktop don't have that hard demand on the cpu and the video card
you're doing 2 things at once which put preasure on your computer hardware this cause lag
if you want to play games on the tv screen using a cable is the best path

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 2
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.

Airport Express seems to prevent iPads from connected to AppleTV via AirPlay

I posted this in the AppleTV forum before narrowing the problem down to my Airport Expresses. (iPad won't connect to AppleTV)
Here are highlights:
Airport Extreme extended by two Airport Expresses both connected via Ethernet
Two ATV3, one wireless, the other Ethernet. AirServer running on 2008 Mac Pro
iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S can easily stream video via Airplay to any ATV
iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina don't see ATVs in AirPlay menu but do see AXP.
If AXPs are unplugged from power, AXP still shows up in AirPlay menu until iPad is either restarted or the wi-fi turned off then on.
Once the AXP "disconnects" from AirPlay menu (when AXP is powered down) all ATVs in the house show up in AirPlay menu.
Any ideas?
Took the iPad to Genius bar and it worked fine. When at office, I see all ATVs. At home, no ATVs when AXP are live. Been dealing with this for two months!
Thanks.

... It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has been introduced recently in the immediate area that is preventing your AX from getting a good clean signal from the AEBS.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like MacStumbler, iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

Is transfer from Mac to Windows via external HD possible?

I have been using my mums macbook pro and now I'm moving to town for school and only have a HP laptop can I transfer my music over to an external HD from mac to windows and authorise as well? I will visit often and want to have my purchased itunes music on both. If I buy a song on my HP will it update the mac one automatically or do I need to use my external HD every time? And lastly if it does update automatically, what about music not purchased on itunes, will it transfer those as well? I am a mac noob so please keep your answers easy
Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Yes it is possible.
Connect the external drive to the MacBook Pro
Copy the entire iTunes folder from the MacBook Pro to the external drive.
Open the iTunes folder on the external drive
Rename the file iTunes Library as iTunes Library.itl
Delete the files iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library Genius.itdb
Connect the external drive to the HP laptop
Install iTunes if you haven't already, close it if running
Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library
Click Choose, navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and select the file iTunes Library.itl
Authorise the laptop to your iTunes account
If you are based in the US then music purchases made on one machine can be set to automatically download to your other libraries and any iOS devices. The rest of the world, at present, is limited to downloading apps and iBooks purchased from the store. Coming soon is iCloud which will, for a fee, also allow non-store-purchased music to be backed up and synced to your computers or iOS devices via the cloud.

I used to play music from my iphone 4s via airplay but this is not applicable anymore.

I can't play my podcasts via airplay either. Any idea how this will work again?

Why not?
What happens when trying to AirPlay content to the ATV?
AirPlay in iOS7 has moved to Control Center where in iOS6 it was in the multi-tasking bar and also available in the Music/Video/Podcast apps.

My apple tv was previously and now all of the sudden stopped playing sound from my macbook air via airplay

I was using airplay to stream from my macbook air on my tv via apple tv and when i paused the sound stopped and now will not resume. I have reset both and both are fully updated. Please help

Dowload the program BEAMER, its far superior to AIRPLAY, theres a free 30 day trial. See if it works on that. Beamer is the best app for wifi of VIDS to your AppleTV
http://beamer-app.com/
also, try a diff VID format, AIRPLAY doesn’t support all VID formats (beamer does however).
I cant live without beamer, you can multitask on your Mac WHILE beaming high-def to your Apple TV, ….Airplay wont do that reliably.
Process of elimination diagnosis!

Streaming rentals from mac to ATV - possible?

Hi,
I've recently purchased the new 2nd gen Apple TV. I have to say it's great for streaming content from out three macs to watch/listen on the TV. However, last night we tried to rent out "How to Train Your Dragon", and have been met with the "it will take X hours and XX minutes" before it is ready to play. We're on a 6Mbps connection, with average download speeds of c. 4Mbps (tested on several sites).
We let the movie download overnight, which it did, and I hit play to see if it would start, which it did. I then paused it, as my fiance was in the shower, and when she joined me, the **** thing has started to download all over again. So we're in for another 4-8 hour wait (depending on what ATV is telling us). And our 48 hour watch period has now been activated! I'll definitely be asking for a refund on this rental.
Now, what I wanted to ask is, would it be possible to rent a movie on one of our macs and then stream the rental to the Apple TV? Has anybody tested this to see if it would work?
The only other option I see, other than renting things hours in advance and praying that they will actually have finished in time (and actually play), is to download the SD versions instead. Does anyone know if there is very diminished quality when watching the SD versions on a 32" LCD TV?
Thanks for your help!

On my 32" I can't tell the difference between SD and HD. On my 42" I can't tell a little bit of a difference. If I had a larger TV the difference would be more appairent.
Rule of thumb:
The larger the TV the more you need HD.
it also depends if you are sitting too close, too far away or the correct distance from the TV.
many either sit far too close or too far away.
on my 32" (before i upgraded it), it was very apparent the difference between SD and HD (on both appletv and broadcast TV). On my new 40" it is much the same (although the panel on this new TV is far superior than then 32").

Syncing purchased tv shows from mac to atv

My husband purchased several tv programs, which were immediately loaded onto the mac.
How do I get them off the mac and back onto the
ATV and into the shared file?

Firstly it's crucial you do not delete them from iTunes unless you have a backup of the files on DVD or hard rive as there's no way to manually pull shows/music off AppleTV - this is a one-off reverse sync to the synced computer - it allows you to backup and keeps AppleTV and computer in 'sync'.
NOTE - DELETE THEM FROM iTunes and they may well be deleted for good from AppleTV too.
Chances are if they're not on appleTV that you have the device sync settings in iTunes set to only sync unwatched episodes or so many unwatched episodes - check the iTunes device sync preferences.

Error connecting from Mac to Linux via SSH (Permission denied (publickey...

Hello together,
I have a perfectly working setup with my XP machine, Putty and my Suse Linux server that allow for remote login via SSH. I use Public Key authentication.
However, when I try to login from my Mac, all I get from the Mac side is a
"Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive)."
And I can't establish the connection. On the server in 'messages' I get:
"sshd{6046}: Accepted publickey for {userName} from {myHomeIP} port 38335 ssh2"
What could be wrong here?
I would like to use the same keys on my PC and my Mac so I just copied the key files into the .ssh directory on the Mac, did a chmod 600 on them and then tried to remote log-on with the follwoing from the terminal:
"ssh -l {userName} {host} -i {keyFile}"
My questions are:
1) How am I sure that the Mac uses the right key files? (or uses them at all)
2) How come my server says "accept publickey" and no connection is established?
3) Do you have any other idea on how I might get this to work? What I need is a method to copy files (not via FTP) to my server and let the process run without supervision / user interaction.
Thanks a lot for all your help!
Cheers

If you copied your files from Windows, I would check to make sure your lines are <LF> terminated. I have not played with Putty so I do not know the way it line terminates its ssh key files, but Windows has a long tradition of using <CR><LF> to terminate its lines.
cat -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa # or whatever your file names are
If there are <CR> characters in the file, they will show up as ^M
Next get more diagnostic information from ssh using an *ssh -v -v -v*
If you know how to tell Putty to do the same thing, do it from Putty as well.
Now compare the debug output from the working vs the non-working ssh commands. The differences will tell you a lot.
If you look at *man ssh* and search for permissions it will tell you what files need restrictive permissions. You can get a permissions denied error if your home directory allows Group or Other write access. The $HOME/.ssh directory needs to be set so ONLY the Owner is allowed to access it. And some of the files in $HOME/.ssh require specific permissions. The ssh man page details this.

How to get purchased games from Mac iTunes to Windows iTunes?

Sharing Mobile Internet from Mac to iPhone via WiFi

I am using a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.9.3.
I am using the internet via a mobile USB stick that I bought today. The set-up worked perfect and I have no problem accessing the internet on my mac! Earlier today I chose to share the connection so I could use my iPhone & iPad. I then went away for 20 min, and when I came back I couldn't share my internet connection anymore.
I've tried closing and opening the internet, choosing to share my connection via bluetooth, but nothing helps. I've set it to share the connection via HUAWEI Mobile (which is the name of the USB) and to computers using WiFi. The exact same settings I used before, when it worked. And now it doesn't
I've tried using the "create network option", but when I choose to join the network on my iPhone it says that "the computer isn't connected to the internet" -even though I am!
What happens when I try to share my connection: The "shared connection symbol" (arrow in the wifi symbol) shortly flashes up, but then it seems to be searching for another wifi connection, doesn't find it (the reason I bought mobile internet: There is no wifi here) and then the symbol is just light grey (= no wifi).

No.

Streaming / Moving Rental movie from Mac to ATV

Is this possible? if so, how?
I have rented a movie using itunes on my mac but want to watch it on my ATV. Is this possible? It does not appear as available on my ATV

Ah ... don't worry about answering I found the feature. For those with the same question click on Apple TV in device list - select movies tab - big box with your movie and a button labelled "move". Even for me it was obvious what to do next

GarageBand won't Airplay from Mac to Apple TV (Airplay selected as output device in GB)

Hi there,
I'm trying to Airplay a file from GarageBand (10.0.3) on my MacBook (Yosemite 10.10.2) to my Apple TV (3rd Gen). I do have 'AirPlay' selected as the OUTPUT in my GarageBand preferences, but can't get anything. I am able to AirPlay itunes with no problem. I'm wondering if there is anything I need to select on my Apple TV menu??? Or am I still missing something in GB? I can play the file on my Macbook with no issues. I've seen a few similar questions, but most of them didn't yet have the output properly selected, and apparently that solved their issues... any help would be greatly appreciated. All devices have the most recent software updates. Thanks!

I had this same problem and I think I just found a solution. Turn on your Apple TV. BEFORE turning on the mirroring, change the output audio on your computer to Apple TV in System Preferences. After that, turn on the mirroring and the sound should be coming out of your tv.
Again, if you don't change the output before mirroring it will not work.
Hope this helps.
