Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better 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). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

MacBook Pro Retina (15") intermittant freeze connecting firewire drive to Thunderbolt adapter

Since having my MacBook Pro Retina (15") I have been having intermittant (often only have 5 days or so) hard freeze on connecting firewire 800 drives to it via the thunderbolt adapter. This occurs with both powered (LaCie 2gb) and unpowered (Iomega GO 1gb) drives. After the last few times I tried connecting the thunderbolt adapter and then plugging in the drive (rather than having the firewire cable already plugged into the adapter and then plugging the adapter in). I was able to reproduce a hard freeze after nothing happened when the adapter alone was plugged in, plugging in the powered drive caused an immediate freeze.
By a hard freeze I mean that when the system reboots it doesn't even recognise a crash occured. There was no kernel panic screen.
I plug into these drives at least once a day but it usually takes up to a week before the freeze occurs. I have had no trouble with leaving the unpowered drive cnnected during sleep it appears to be when I change drives. I always unplug the adapter and make sure the computer is still running before putting to sleep and make sure it is functioning properly after wake before connecting the drive.
Using USB 2.0 there have been no problems with the same drives.
Any ideas?

I believe this issue is caused by bad ground coupling between the two devices, some of the induced charge can spark between connectors in the thunderbolt port causing computer to basicly freeze.
To solve this issue try touching the connectors outside metal part to your macbooks body first to discharge it, then while plugging int the connector do it at slight angle so the metal of the connector touches Mac's body.
This method has been working for me.

How to secure firewire drive data for multi user mac ?

I have a couple of external firewire hard drives attached to my mac which contain all my work files.
My 6 yr son has started using my mac so I have set him up his own account and set up the parental controls etc.
BUT - is there any way I can set things up so the firewire drives dont appear to him or so he cant delete anything ?
It seems fairly straightforward to protect files files on the main hard drive but these firewire drives mount every time a user logs on and he seems to have full access to them.
Thanks in advance if you can help.

Log in under your account, and highlight the drive on the Desktop. Click cmd-i to Get Info. Make sure that, under Ownership and Permissions, you do not have "Ignore Ownership on this Drive" ticked. Now, again using Get Info, make sure that all top-level folders are owned by you, and that other users do not have access. (You might want to reduce the number of top-level folders to make this easier.)
Now log in as your son and make sure you don't have access to those folders.

How many external Firewire drives can I share at once?

I have several external hard drives connected to my server. I appears that I can only share 4 of them at a time. I work in a high volume photography environment and store about 2TB every three months. I need to be able to share multiple external hard drives all at the same time. Is there a limit on how many drives or share points I can share at one time?

As long as the drives have their own power supply (powered USB or Firewire 800 Hubs will do) they will run to their theoretical max which is more than several hundred. I think the Thunderbolt can be daisy chained out to a pretty large number too.

Getting started: how to connect to "tutorial-chat" via AIR app

Hi, I've gone through the blaze ds "getting started" article and successfully got the chat application working. I now am trying to connect a test AIR app to that same tutorial-chat destination, but am having issues. How do i properly specify the "desination" via a fully qualified url? <mx:Producer id="producer" destination="http://myurl.com:8400/messagebroker/tutorial-chat"/> <mx:Consumer id="consumer" destination="http://myurl.com:8400/messagebroker/tutorial-chat" message="messageHandler(event)"/>

You don't specify urls in destination attributes. You specify destination ids which are defined in messaging-config.xml on the server. Destinations on the server (whose id you use in your Consumer) specify a channel id and channels are also defined on the server in services-config.xml. Channel definition is the one that has the URL in it.
All you have to do is to make sure you compile your AIR app pointing to the services-config.xml. If you can't do that, then you can create yoru own ChannelSet and assign to your Consumer, something like this:
var cs:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
var c:Channel = new AMFChannel(null, [URL_OF_YOUR_ENDPOINT]);
cs.addChannel(cs);
myConsumer.channelSet = cs;
If you're running this locally on your machine, URL_OF_YOUR_ENDPOINT is something like http://localhost:8400/messagerbroker/amf but it all depends on how you defined your channel/endpoint in services-config.xml on the server.

How to connect garmin 500 to ipad air. poinrless for me to buy the ipad without that option.

How do I connect a Garmin 500 to ipad air?

I'm not sure what you mean by "use the gps app". There is no gps app as such on any iOS device.
Location services, a component of iOS, can use GPS on those device with it (iPhone and cellular iPads), but as a user, you use apps to access that location data and display it or whatever.
There are geotracking, biking and hiking apps in the App store that might do just what you want. Have a look through the app store for some of the navigation apps that might be suitable replacements to the Garmin device.
Just search for cycling apps in iTunes or the App store and you should get several hits (there is one called Cycle Tracker Pro I've heard of, by a company that makes a whole host of geotracking and exercise related apps - BlueFin software).

How to Connect to TCP Server in AIR?

        public function TCP()
            try
                // Create the server socket
                serverSocket = new ServerSocket();
                // Add the event listener
                serverSocket.addEventListener( Event.CONNECT, connectHandler );

But how do I connect to it? I'm trying to make a multiplayer game, and I want variables and strings to be communicated to each client, but what code do I have to put in to get one of the clients to connect to the other? Again, it successfully LISTENS for a connection, but I don't know how to get anything to connect to it. Another thing is that I get an error thrown at me when I try to test the standalone SWF file, it only listens for connections when I hit "test movie" in the FLA... Thanks in advance...

How to format hard drive with mac air for use on mac and pc

I'm new to MAC and can't make much sence of what has been said to do in other questions. All I want to be able to do is use my 500gb My Passport hard drive on my MAC and other PC's. I have saved all the data that I want to keep on another hard drive so can re-format the hard drive if needed. I want to do all the set up on my MAC AIR.
Please help,

New Hard drive installed, how to connect old drive to transfer data.

Hi,
I recently had my 13" White Macbook repaired and they upgraded my 120 Gb hard drive to a newer 160 gb version. They told me I would be able to transfer the data across to my new hard drive relatively easily and cheaply, since the hard drive itself wasn't damaged.
I spoke to apples recommended data recovery company kroll on track, and they informed me I would only need to get hold of the right connection for my hard drive to be able to connect it to my laptop and transfer it over.
Can anyone enlighten me to what connection I might need to get and where I might be able to get it from please?
If you need any more details please ask
Cheers

The best way would be to get a USB 2.0 2.5" SATA Hard Drive External Enclosure Case. You can get them on Ebay UK cheaply http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-2-0-2-5-SATA-HDD-Hard-Drive-External-Case-Enclosure-/2 80553195616?pt=UKCollectables_HardDriveEnclosuresRL&hash=item4152460860 for £4.50 from a London seller.
You can then use Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/index.html a free cloning program to transfer everything over to the new drive.

How to connect to pioneer vsx42 through air play

Has anyone here used airplay through a pioneer receiver? I just purchased vsx42 Elite and I can't figure out how to get it working. I have both the iPad and the pioneer on the same network. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

you can only connect your iPhone 4S and iPad2 for the purpose of tethering your iPhone's internet connection to the iPad. Any other connection is not supported.

Trouble using firewire drives via thunderbolt adapter on bootcamped Mac Pro 2013 towers

Here at the university, we've just installed a new classroom of Mac Pro towers (late 2013). We like to use Bootcamp in said classroom, and so I (painstakingly) installed Windows 8.1 on a test machine. I've found that the brand new firewire-to-thunderbolt adapters we bought don't seem to work when booted into Windows. I have few LaCie firewire drives I use to install software packages, and the occasional WD My Book, and our students are encourage to purchase G-Drives to back up their film projects.
I have a couple of LaCie drives that I've partitioned as part Mac OS Extended and part ExFat (or even MS-DOS just in case). The Windows-friendly partitions don't mount or even get detected, so I think it's the adapter(s) not being recognized by Windoes, especially since the firewire to thunderbolt adapters work on the Mac side.
Could this be a driver problem like what's mentioned here?

Well, no one answered at all, but somehow the problem solved itself. I'm not sure if one of the automatic Windows updates cleared things up or what, but now I can connect Firewire drives with no problems. Also, as some kind of bonus, Windows 8 is able to read Mac partitioned firewire drives, which I don't think was possible in Windows 7.
The problem may also have been that I hadn't entered the Windows activation key in yet? I'm not sure that makes sense in terms of Thunderbolt adapters...
10+ years ago, I read a Microsoft tip of the day that said "Problems that go away by themselves can come back by themselves." It's haunted me ever since.

MacBook won't boot off Firewire drives

i just got a MacBook and couldn't be more pleased but i just tried to use the Firewire drive to boot from but it doesn't show up as option for restart. the drives( i tried two) are loaded with 10.4.10 and show up on the desktop and work fine but it's odd the Mac won't boot from them. had no issue connecting to my Pismo. both show up as start up discs. i looked in the forums but didn't see this issue brought up. a little help please.

Yup. Alternatively, you can 'clone' the MB's internal hd to the external firewire hd. Two of the most widely used methods of achieving this are:
