How to Optimize 3D from Mac to 3D HDTV with Apple TV

I have been trying to stream a 3D movie from my Macbook Pro to my 42" LG 3D 1080 HDTV via Apple TV, and it works, but not perfectly.
The details: I have an MP4 formatted 3D movie, which plays with horizontal side-by-side frames. Running the movie in Quicktime at full screen, I mirrored my Macbook to my TV via Apple TV and then turned on the 3D feature on my TV. The TV converted the side-by-side frames to 3D and it appears in 3D when I wear the 3D glasses (they are passive glasses), but the image I see is not quite perfectly in focus, it seems off in regards to clarity, and there is a distracting vertical bar appearing on the right side of the screen (some sort of remnant cut off from the main picture, which looks like a reflection or something from the video).
What to do? I tried to adjust the very limited 3D settings the TV offers, but it had no effect. I know the 3D feature on the TV works correctly because I've tested it with ESPN 3D content streamed from my cable box and it looks really good.
Any suggestions? Are there any other video playing apps that could optimize this process?
I was thinking of copying the MP4 file to a memory stick and just plugging that into the TV, but I really wanted to see if I could get this to work from my computer so I could have access to a library of movies with more ease. I like the concept of High Definition 3D but I do not have the desire to invest in a Blu-ray 3D player right now, so I just want to make this work with my existing hardware.
Thanks for any suggestions and help.

A quick update on the situation, I solved a bit of my problem, but not exactly as I had hoped; by removing my Macbook and Apple TV from the equation I successfully played the 3D movie on my TV.
The solution to get the movie to play correctly was to load the MP4 onto a USB thumb drive and plug it directly into the TV. Movie played, 3D worked (better, without artifacts and imbalances) and I was even able to turn off the subtitles through the TV's settings, however, my attempt to wirelessly mirror the movie from Macbook to TV via Apple TV was a fail.
2 more things: Although the 3D "worked" it still didn't feel as robust or have the depth I experienced when viewing ESPN 3D, and after 10 minutes of watching the film in 3D my eyes started to feel funny (first time this ever happened with passive glasses), so I switched to 2D mode.

    How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)

  • How do I downgrade from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 for my wife , me and my office

    how do I downgrade from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 for my wife , me and my office

    You cannot downgrade a machine that shipped with 10.7 installed. Such a machine can only run 10.7 or later. As for the older machines, you would need to use the old Mac OS X install disks to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system.
    I don't really understand the issue regarding minimizing windows. If the difficulty is that you want to use the green "+" button in the iTunes window's title bar to resize the window rather than toggling between the full window and the simplified window with only play controls, that is not unique to Lion. That has behaved the same way for some time. Try option-clicking on the "+" button.

  • How do I upgrade from Mac OS X version 10.6.8 to version 10.7.4?

    How do I upgrade from Mac OS X version 10.6.8 to version 10.7.4?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion:
    iMac7,1
    MacBook5,1
    MacBookPro3,1
    MacBookAir2,1
    Macmini3,1
    MacPro3,1
    Xserve3,1
    If your system's compatible, buy it from the Mac App Store. A computer incapable of running Mountain Lion which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by phoning the online Apple Store and ordering a download code for it.
