How do i mirror displays on a regular tv?

I upgraded to OS X Mavericks and I can't mirror my computer with my tv anymore.

Hi abcatie,
It sounds like you’ve run into an issue mirroring your Mac’s display onto your TV since upgrading to OS X Mavericks. There are several options available for mirroring your display onto a TV, the first article below will walk you through wirelessly mirroring your Mac’s display with an Apple TV and the second will walk you though configuring a directly connected external TV.
OS X Mavericks: Wirelessly mirror your Mac screen to your HDTV
OS X Mavericks: Connect multiple displays to your Mac
If you run into any issues after following along with one of the articles above, just replay with details about the way your devices are configured and what you’re seeing.

  • How to check Mirror Displays checkbox

    I have the following:
    tell application "System Preferences"
    activate
    set current pane to pane "Displays"
    tell application "System Events"
    try
    tell application process "System Preferences"
    click radio button "Arrangement" of tab group 1 of window "Cinema HD"
    tell window "Cinema HD"
    click checkbox "Mirror Displays" of tab group 1 of window "Cinema HD"
    end tell
    end tell
    end try
    end tell
    end tell
    The only thing that doesn't work is the checkbox line. I've also tried it as checkbox 1, BTW.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi, Pierre--
    No, I used UI Browser.
    However, I think I may have found the issue, although not the solution. Remember that mirroring is available only when you have 2 monitors, which I do. But that means the Displays open 2 windows, in my case, one named "Cinema HD", the other "Samsung". They both have the "Mirror Displays" checkbox.
    I tried doing:
    click radio button "Arrangement" of tab group 1 of window "Cinema HD"
    tell window "Samsung"
    click checkbox "Mirror Displays" of tab group 1
    end tell
    tell window "Cinema HD"
    click checkbox "Mirror Displays" of tab group 1
    end tell
    end tell
    But that again, doesn't work.

  • I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

    I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.  This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade.  Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV?  There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

  • Mirrored Display. How to sleep MBP display without closing LID to keep the machine vented?

    I just got my hands on a 15" MBP and I currently have a third party Display that I have connected to my Display output port. Mirrored display, and tried the clamshell mode but machine got quite hot by running in it that way. I was wondering if there is any way to keep the lid open while the mirrored mode on the external Display still runs?
    Also, if there are any third party software that does give me flexibility as to which display to sleep and such, and at least have control over the display output options, that would be a gem. Appreciate it if anyone has that info?
    Thanks a lot for taking time to help! Happy holiday and a great year to come for all!
    Miles of smiles,

    Captfred,
    I've tried what the article suggests but it only seems to work if you want to wake the computer when it is sleeping or the screen saver is on.
    What I am trying to find out is how to start the computer when it is turned off without having to open it. I would imagine that there would be some key combination on the keyboard or perhaps a way to program the on/off button on the side of the Apple external display to do that.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do I set the default external monitor setting to NOT mirror displays?

    Greetings folks. I take my Lion macbook all over the place, and frequently plug into projectors to present. I NEVER mirror my display, and always use the projector and on-screen displays as separate displays, yet when you plug in a new projector to the MacBook Air (or MBP) it always defaults to "Mirror Displays" in the arrangement tab. Is there a way to change that to NEVER default to mirror displays?

    I've tried that, and then created my installer, but it defaults back to having auto update checked, or in the ON position. I want it to default to being OFF so any new installs or upgrades that I send out do not turn it back on.
    We manage all computers here, and do not want users doing any updates.

  • How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

    I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
    This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the  3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
    The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
    The workarounds I've used so far are:
    - Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
    - borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
    I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
    Thanks.
