HT201343 airplay mirror only 1 desktop and work on the other

I want to only mirror one desktop to watch a show and switch back to my other desktop to do work. Is this possible with airplay? If not, is there another option/software that does this (like airparrot or another tool)?
Thanks!

What program are you using to watch a show? If it's iTunes, can't you use normal AirPlay (not mirroring)?

HT201343 Airplay mirroring switched off, and still connecting. (OSX MLion, MB-Air 13")

I tested the mirroring, it was very glitchy, but thats not my concern. My problem was switching mirroring OFF, and it reconnecting on its own while roomates watched TV. They watched me write emails, open iTunes, and then sent me images of me writing the email. Funny, but not.

Thank you so much wchp, this is brilliant. I have had this annoying problem for a long time. I eventually rang Mac support, they did not know how to fix the problem as you have suggested so they instigated many hardware replacements which eventually left my iMac severely crippled. They eventually replaced it with the latest model. But I spent two months working with a disabled computer which really interfere with my work.
Your solution appears to have solved my problem, at least so far, but I am hopeful that it is a permanent fix. I hope that your suggestions are taken up by Apple support. This may solve many users problems and avoid Apple making expensive fixes that don't actually work.
I thought that the new iMac would not have the 'Wake up from sleep by painting in the login window' problem but it did, this really annoyed me. Anyway now the problem appears to be solved, it's not I will repost and keep working on it. Thanks again.

Why does Vine Server not start with this script and work with the other?

I have the preferences of Vine Server set to start/run automatically when opening the programme.
If I double click the icon it works. Opens and starts.
If I use
activate application "Vine Server"
it opens but does not start.
If I use:
tell application "Finder"
activate
open application file "Vine Server.app" of folder "Vine Server 3" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
end tell
it opens and starts.
Anybody any idea as to why?
This seems to happen since I upgraded form 10.4 to 10.5.

Hello
Do you have multiple versions of Vine Server application, perhaps?
If so, that might cause the described behaviour.
You may try using full path to the current Vine Server application such as -
activate application "/Applications/Vine Server 3/Vine Server.app"
or -
tell application "/Applications/Vine Server 3/Vine Server.app" to activate

Does airplay mirror only work with the ipad2 and not ipad1

does airplay mirror only work with the ipad2 and not ipad1

But can it still stream video wirelessly?
For example, with the Digital AV Adapter I can watch video on my TV, but obviously it's wired.
I'd like a wireless option.

HT201343 Airplay mirroring whilst using minidisplay port

Hi,
I was hoping someone could offer advice as I'm struggling to find the answer.
If I use airplay mirroring on a 2012 macbook air whilst a second external display is also connected through a minidisplay port adapter would the airplay mirroring of the macbook air display and extended desktop though minidisplay port still function correctly?
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Tim

for performance issues airplay mirror only works with video cards which support hardware realtime encoding of the display image stream to a H.264 stream
if the video card does not support this feature in realtime the cpu will have to decode it all the time and that take a toll on performance and make it airplay mirror (with possible delay)
the program called airparrot handle it that way and allow you to mirro to the appletv also from older computer even windows computers I think
if you wish to advice apple about such matters you should use the feedback channel

AirPlay Mirroring Target has stopped working

I'm attempting to record a demo from my iPhone 5 using the Reflector app (AirPlay Mirroring Target). When I attempt to save the recorded video (MP4 is the only option available), I get this message:
AirPlay Mirroring Target has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I recorded and saved the recording back on April 15 without this error, but now it just shuts down the Reflector app completely.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

HT201343 Airplay Mirroring in Mac OS

Hi All,
Am wondering why am not able to do a Airplay using My Macbook Pro 2010. Support team says its a hardware compatibility issue, however am able to use Google Chromecast from chrome browser for mirroring. Whats Apple Is doing ?

Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
Thanks,
John

Hi!
I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring Secondary Display Content

Can airplay mirror the contents of a secondary display on your mac or will it always be the primary display's content?

AirPlay Mirroring only streams your principal display

Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows. The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto. Any idea of what to do about this problem?

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.

I am in a group chat with like 7 other people who all have smartphones. 6 of the people have iPhones, but the other person has android. I'm wondering if the iMessage works for the other 6, and my text count is only being accounted for by the android.

I have a monthly limit of 1000 text so I dont want to go over my plan by being in this group if the iMessage doesnt work because of that one android user.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external H

When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external HD into LR5 on my PC desktop. But if I use the import button in LR I only get the original photo, not the developed copies. What am I doing wrong?

Since your current editing workflow is based around Virtual Copies there are no actual files containing the edit data. Therefore, you'll need to use the 'Import from another catalog' option ( see File menu).

Firefox frequently freezes. I can't click on anything (tabs, menu buttons, bookmarks, etc.) The only button that works is the upper right close button which when clicked will ask me if I want to "save & quit." Then I have to restart. Help fixing this?

Frequently when I use Firefox it will all of a sudden freeze. It no longer will accept any user input from the keyboard or mouse. I cannot click on any of the open tabbed pages I have or on my bookmarks or any of the menu buttons. Nothing works. When it happens if it is loading a page it will just freeze in the middle of loading it. I've tried to see if the freezes are caused when it loads certain types of content (java, flash, etc...) but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when it happens or with what types of pages. I cannot find a pattern. The ONLY button that works is the close button in the upper right hand corner (X). I can click on that and then Firefox will prompt me with it's regular message asking me if I want to save and quit, quit, or cancel. I'll hit save and quit and then reopen Firefox. It opens my tabs and if I was in the middle of a post it generally will still remember the text I've typed (except Facebook!).
It's beginning to drive me nuts and I'm really hoping to find a fix to this.

You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

Creating Planned orders and Requisitions for a particular MRP controller and for all the others only Requisition is to be created.

Hi Experts,
Currently we run Program 'RMMRP000' as a batch job to create Planned orders and requisitions.
The client wants that Planned orders and Requisitions should be created for a particular MRP controller and for all the others only Requisition is to be created.
I implemented Exit 'EXIT_SAPMM61X_001' in the following manner by passing MRP controller to user_key.
IF mt61d-dispo <> user_key.
no_planning = 'X'.
ENDIF.
But as you can see that this will not meet my client requirement.
If any of you has worked on similar requirement / if any one knows that this is achievable or not,
please share your inputs.
