HT201343 Airplay not working for MacBook 2010

How is it that a relatively new MacBook 2010 wouldn't be able to use airplay mirroring, and why is there no information about that up front? I purchased mountain lion expressly for this function and only now discover my MacBook is too old?
Or am I missing something...(i hope so)

Lots of people are disappointed. Including me.
I have a mid 2010 iMac.
Most of us did our research and knew that our machines were "Not Airplay Mirroring" capable so we don't feel cheated or robbed.
Lot's of other nice features for some people, other people don't like or want the new features.
They have a choice of upgrading to Mountain Lion or not.
It wasn't like they made you purchase Moutain Lion, nor did they tell you your machine could use Airplay Mirroring.
It was your decision to buy Mountain Lion.
Myself, I am waiting for the new iMacs to come out sometime later this year.
I will then decide whether I want to upgrade to a new iMac or not depending on what new hardward the machines come out with.
Good Luck

Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week.
Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
Fix:
With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

Camera not working for macbook air

It's a macbook air A1370, iOS 10.8.3. The build-in camera is not working. Both Facetime and photobooth show that the camera is not connected. I checked the system info, under the usb session, the build-in camera is there. I followed some posts and reset the SMC, not helping.
What should I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes. Follow the instructions for reinstalling your Mac OS X. All necessary drivers are automatically installed by the OS X installer.
tdingsh wrote:... Apparently ... computer is not detecting the in-built camera ...
By using your Mac''s (option) > System Information... menu command, you can be certain whether your Mac detects its camera.
When the System Information window opens, click on "USB" under "Hardware" in the sidebar. Then look in the USB Device Tree window pane that opens when you select "USB". Click ALL right-facing triangles ( ▶) so they point down (▼) and reveal all individual items.
If your camera is nowhere in the USB Device Tree window pane, your Mac does NOT recognize the cam.
Resetting the SMC using the instructions for your specific Mac model may restore camera function.

Does Itunes home sharing trhough Apple TV work for Macbook 2010?

Dear all,
I have been going through this forum and I saw that Screen Mirroring is not possible for 2011 previous Macbooks, but I haven't been able to find any evidence that streaming audio from my Macbook to the TV through Apple TV is possible.
This will definetively make a point for my decission on buying Apple TV.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Winston,
So, the functionality exists independently of the macbook pro version?
Yes, I think you may be getting mixed up with AirPlay mirroring.
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). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

Airport Express not working for MacBook Air, ok for iMac

I connect to the internet via wireless broadband; the ethernet cable from the broadband antenna plugs into my Airport Express router. I run both my 27" iMac desktop and my 13" Mac Book Air off the Airport Express router. To the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed with my internet provider's settings.
Since Friday, the MacBook Air internet connection barely works; if a page loads, it takes forever (and I have a very fast broadband connection.) Checking the same connection on the iMac has no delay and loads instantly. On the laptop, if the page does load, and I click a link on that page, the link takes me to a new page requesting me to log in to my internet provider, or just fails to load. I get lots of "page failed to load; interneet connection was reset....".
I have checked network settings on both machines and they appear to be just fine. I have run diagnostics and it shows everything working fine.
I ran Disk Utility (permissions repair and verify disk) and have no problems.
I have tried restarting the laptop several times.
Software is up to date.
I don't think it's the internet server or the connection since it's working on the desktop Mac.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or things to try; I read about doing soft and hard resets but am reluctant to try that since Airport is working for the desktop computer just fine.

RAM Slot Not Working for Macbook 2009 - Looking for Alternatives

Tested RAM slots and found that the second slot (slot closest to interior of computer) is not working properly. Switched both 4gb cards in back slot and the computer would not start up, only would beep....definitely not faulty RAM cards because they both work in the first slot.
I've researched this on forums briefly, the consensus seems to be logic board replacement.
I really don't want to invest more money into this older computer - Macbook Pro mid-2009.
Are there any other troubleshooting options here? I don't think it's the OS and do not have any Time Machine data set up before Mac X nor do I have an partitions set up on an external.
The computer is not terribly slow but when using Final Cut Pro X it tends to lag. All of the specs for my computer fall in the recommendations for using with FC10
Could I get an 8gb RAM card for slot 1?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Does not look like it supports 16 GBs of RAM meaning only 4 GBs/slot.

Is airplay mirroring not working for macbook air?

Bought my macbook in March of this year and Apple TV last month. Upgrated to mountain lion and airplay mirroring is producing a black screen. Anyone know how to get this working

I had same problem: Mid 2011 MBA, AppleTV2 all updated. Both were on 5GHz network, with failure to connect or lag (delays of up to 20secs in video updating). I changed the AppleTV to 2.4GHz, and the MBA to 2.4GHz, it worked more consitently. I tried audio only and it worked perfectly with both using 2.4GHz, then reactivated video, which then worked better but not perfectly. Have now changed MBA to 5GHz network and it's working perfectly.
I believe this is because I'm streaming in HD to the MBA from webtv (on 5GHz), which is then streaming out the MBA (on 5Ghz) to the router and then from the router on 2.4GHz to the AppleTV. This helps to divide up the (radio) bandwidth.

Airplay not working for audio but works for video and win7?

Right now I can't seem to get airplay to function correctly on my new macbook air (os x 10.7.1).
My current hardware:
Intel Core i5 Macbook Air 1.7Ghz 13"
Airport Extreme (current generation - 5th)
Apple TV 2
Airport Express
All updated to latest version (OS X 10.7.1, iTunes 10.5, updated airport express & extreme and apple tv 2 - don't remember version #s - sorry)
Symptoms:
In iTunes, I can select either the Apple TV 2 or Airport Express.
When I do, a window pops up with a loading bar, "Connecting to Apple TV" (or Airport Express). This never goes away/connects.
If instead of audio, I try and stream a video to the ATV2, it connects and works instantly.
I can switch quickly from video to audio and it will transmit fine for the duration of that song.
The ATV2 can see and connect to my itunes library and stream music through homesharing (i.e. selecting the music through the ATV2 as opposed to sending it through airplay from itunes)
Itunes running on my fiance's laptop (HP Win7, itunes 10.5) can airplay to each of these devices flawlessly.
Any ideas? I've confirmed that home sharing is turned on. Airplay is turned on. (this is true for the macbook air, apple tv, and airport express). Firewall on or off on the macbook air doesn't have an effect on this issue. I've also reset and reconfigured the Airport Extreme, Apple TV 2, and Airport express. I don't want to yet on the macbook - this problem existed from day 1 and I'd rather not do a full reset/restore on the laptop if I don't need to.
Thanks for your help.

Well if it works from one browser it would seem likely that the code you are using to create the file is OK. So I would concentrate on what is different between the browsers, so that will be Mime type management and security.
Your mime type def seems to be OK but it may be the mapping that IE is using that is broken
IE will take the mime type mapping from the registry so it may be worth trying IE from another machine just in case there is something screwy there. Also if you're on Windows 7 make sure that the Zip has not been "blocked" - save it to disk on the client, select the file and choose properties from the context menu - see if it says blocked in the Attributes section.

Mini DVI to DVI adapter not working for MacBook BlackRAM upgrade for MacBook black (Early / Mid 2008 model - MB404LL/A)

Hello.
I have recently purchased an external display monitor (LG D2342P LED) and I am trying to connect my MacBook black - MB404LL/A (Mac OS X 10.6.8, Core2Duo 2.4 GHz) to the LG LED monitor using mini DVI to DVI adapter. The dispay is getting detected by the macbook in the display preferences but the screen shows "No video input" ( as a blank-black that bahaves as no input coming to the Monitor).
Please help, what should I do to connect to the monitor ? Is there any setting that I am missing that needs to be preconfigured or is this an issue with software update of 10.6.8 ?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply, shldr2thewheel. I ll go ahead with the RAM specification you have mentioned.
Can you please suggest about the Hard Drive, what should be the specification I should be looking for compatibility of my MacBook black ?

Outlook: "Send Immediately when connected" not working for Word 2010

When i disable the option in Outlook "Send Immediately when connected" the messages are placed in the Outbox until i send them manually.
But when i want to send a Word 2010 document from within Word 2010 by E-Mail the message is send immediately.
Is it possible to place the message/document in the Outbox just like with Outlook?
Thnx in advance.

Hi,
I cannot reproduce this problem in my environment. When I send a Word document by clicking File > Save & Send > Send as Attachment, it just go to the Outbox like the common message.
Does this issue happen to all Word documents at any time?
What's the send/receive interval you set in your Outlook? It could still occur that your message will be sent near instantly when you send a message right before the automatic send/receive interval takes place.

PowerPoint 2010 game with animations not working on Macbook.

I am a tech intern at a middle school in Mississippi. I have created an interactive Jeopardy game in PowerPoint 2010 for the teachers to use when reviewing the kids for tests. However, some of my teachers have Macbooks and it's not working for them. They do have keynote and they've been able to use other PowerPoints that I created for them, however those did not contain animations. I have a pc, as do over half of the teachers, so I have to create on pc. Is there a specific way to save the PowerPoints that have animations so that the teachers with macs can use them? Or is there some other fix I'm overlooking?
Thanks for helping out guys!

Talus,
I was making sure that everything was setup and detecting correctly and it appears so. It could be that the actual midi port could be bad or not connected correctly. Check the connection and if that yields no results you may consider replacing the midi port expansion connector.

You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

Audio is not working for airplay.

Audio is not working for airplay. I tried changing the audio output in system preferences to Apple TV both before and after turning on Air Play as suggested in earlier discussion threads. That did not work.

OOF not working for mailboxes homed on Exchange 2010 server during migration

Hi There
I'm troubleshooting an issue during a exchange 2010 to exchange 2013 migration where the OOF is not working for users homed on the exchange 2010 mailbox servers. This applies to users using outlook 2010 and outlook 2013 .OWA works perfectly and you can also
enable OOF via exchange powershell.
Users homed on the exchange 2013 servers does not have any issues.
The exchange 2010 servers is on SP3 rollup 4 and the 2013 servers on SP1 only without any rollups installed.
So my question will be - have anyone experienced this issue during migration and will patching the exchange 2010 servers to rollup 5 or 6 and the exchange 2013 to sp1 rollup 5 fix the OOF issue then? If requested the client to patch to these levels, but
in the meantime I'm checking if anyone else had similar issues.
Any pointers will be welcome.

Hi ,
1.Please check the problematic exchange 2010 user account can able to access the ews virtual directory internal url and you can check that via browser's.It will prompt for the user name and password , please provide that .
EWS url wopuld be like - https://mail.youdomain.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
2.Then the second step would be autodiscover check for the problematic user account.you can find that via test email configuration .There you came to know whether outlook is fetching up the proper url for ews and autodiscover.
3.Then please un check the proxy settings in browsers and check the same.
4.please use the command to check the auto discover
