HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

Airplay mirroring.
Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
Any help appreciated.

Hi!
I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

  • (AIRDROP) Macbook Pro Retina Display Can't see Macbook Pro mid 2012

    Hello,
    I was trying to send and receive files from my macbook pro 13' mid 2012 (MBP) to and from macbook pro retina display 13' (MBPR) using airdrop.
    both on Yosemite.
    The problem is, I can't see my MBP from MBPR in airdrop. But the other way around works fine, I can see and send files from MBP to MBPR.
    I've changed the 'allow me to be discovered by : Everyone' on both mac. Bluetooth and wifi are on. I even tried to search onlder mac from MBPR but no result.
    Does anyone have the same problem? Is there any solution for this?

    I am aware there are symbols. My technical issue is the MagSafe2 adapter. What people typically do is connect their laptops to the wall when they're battery dies off. No biggie. I can attach it to the outlet. Well, when I connect the adapter to the outlet, nothing happens. Nothing happens at home, at Starbucks, at McDonalds, at other people's home.
    When I brought this up with technical support in August when I bought it, technical support person said I might have issues with my electrical wiring at home. I've never had issues with electrical wiring at home because my other Apple products work fine when connected to the outlet. My July 2011 MacBook Pro charged without a hitch.
    And I was able to charge my Retina MBP only at night or very early in the morning.
    But this weekend, I couldn't charge it at all. I'm starting to think it might be the MagSafe2 adapter problem.
    I feel rather ridiculous buying the highest-end of the 15 inch Retina MBP. It cost me over $3000. Right now I'm working with my 5 year old Hewlett Packard laptop. At least my HP works, which can't be said about this top-of-the line Apple product.
    Probably explains why Apple stocks are falling. At $3000 I shouldn't be having these type of problems.
    Sheeeesh!!!

  • Macbook Pro Retina display laptop to Dell 1409X projector doesn't work

    Macbook Pro Retina display laptop to Dell 1409X projector – I use OSX 10.9 & I've cabled from my thunder port (mini display port) via apple's adapter to a vga cable to a Dell 1409X projector.  But the projected display is different from the computer display. The cursor is controlled from my trackpad, but is only seen in the projection display. Also the dock items are only seen in the projection display. But when I select any application (ex, Word file or a jpeg image) it is only seen on the laptop. Meanwhile the projected display shows items from my screensaver, always different from what is shown on the laptop.
    Thanks for any help.

  • What hbmi cord do I need to connect my Macbook Pro retina display to a Windows desktop?

    I'm trying to connect my Windows desktop to my Macbook Pro retina dispay so i can transfer CD's. ALthough I dont know what cord to get.

    Your post is a little confusing. HDMI is for connecting video, like hooking your Mac to a TV. It sounds like you want to transfer files. If you have a wireless network, just share the folder with the music on your Windows machine and you should be able to copy it to your Mac.

  • I have a macbook with retina display and when i use it, it gets hot on the bottom is this normal?

    When i use my macbook it gets hot on the bottom is this normal?

    If you're talking about the "new" MacBook with retina display, it's normal (Especially when you're playing games or watching a movie) and like Stark_Hu said, it will start displaying the temperature warnings, slow the processor, and try to regain normal temperatures. I actually had that happen to me while I was playing the Sims 4 while having 3 Pages documents and 5 or so Safari pages open.
    Now if you're talking about the Retina MacBook Pro, I would clean out the fan ports and everything because that doesn't seem too normal!

  • I have a student Visa. I wanted to purchase the new macbook with retina display. Can i clam a VAT refund?

    I have a student Visa. I wanted to purchase the new macbook with retina display. Can i clam a VAT refund?

    When I go to europe and head back to the states I can go to customs at their airport i.e france, italy or germany and get VAT refund for all the purchases I made. It does not work the other way around. purchase in the US heading back to europe as far as I know but you can ask US customs at the airport if they do such thing, just make sure you have copies of your receipts.

  • I just purchased my Macbook Pro retina display OS X 10.7.4 in June 2012. Shortly after I began using it, it began randomly restarting itself while in use. Why and how do I fix this?

    So as I said in the title, I purchased my new Macbook Pro retina display OS X 10.7.4 in June 2012 and recieved in early July. Shortly after I started using the laptop, it began randomly restarting itself. It does this about once a week while I am just using the laptop for normal internet browsing. I haven't downloaded any outside software that the system could be rejecting and it is fully charged. Any ideas on why this is happening or how to fix it?
    Also this is a total random question, but there is a residue on my laptop that is faint but randomly shows up. I'm almost positive that it is nothing on my hands or where I place the laptop. I wasn't sure if it was something possibly coming from the side vents. Thanks for the help!

    Exactly what Shootist007 states - take it in for service or replacement - could be a simple software issue or it could be a hardware issue...
    Don't even bother messing with it.....Might screw up even more.....
    Make sure your files are backed up in case they give you a replacement....
    Good luck - hope you get it sorted out...

  • 2012 macbook pro retina display artifacts on screen when using onboard video

    2012 Macbook Pro Retina Display artifacts on screen when using onboard video.
    About a month ago I've noticed these strange artifacts (blocky pixelated looking) running vertically down the screen. It first started when using Safari. Then it started to happen all the time. I turned off the auto switch video in preferences, which I'm assuming forces the computer to use the separate video card and the artifacts go away.
    On top of that issue I also have had the ghosting issue.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    artifacts onscreen could mean a faulty gpu. You said by forcing it on inbuilt gpu you do not find this issue highlights that. Do take it in to apple for service and also tell them of your ghosting issue.
    There are a few retina owners who have faulty gpus.

  • Upgrade graphics card macbook pro retina display mid 2012

    Can I upgrade the graphics card on my macbook pro retina display mid 2012 ?
    If I can where can I get the parts from ?
    Thank you

    The only way to do that upgrade is to convert your MacBook Pro to CASH (by selling it) and use the cash to buy a Mac more to your liking.

    I already own a Macbook Pro 2010. 6.2. Use it for Photoshop and FCP. Is the new 2012 Retina display Macbook woth investing in a new one?

    it's not worth it until the mac you currently have no longer suits your needs.  Keep saving until that point.

  • 2012 macbook pro retina display

    i am looking to buy a 2012 macbook pro retina display 13.3" core i5, 8gb ram and 126gb ssd however,  have heard that the 2012 macbook retina display models have problems with them, like screen issues, over heating issues, wifi connection issues etc. can anybody cnonfirm these problems are quite common? and if so are there any solutions ot them

    Hi alex,
    Mostly what we see here are posts from people with problem MBPs, so it seems like a lot, when in reality, it's usually only a small percentage of all those units sold. That said, it does seem like the r models have more than their share of issues, but if it was a majority of them, it would be the first time.
    If you get it new, there's a 14 day return policy, 90 days of phone support, and a one year warranty.
    EDITED
