HT204291 Cannot connect my MacBook Pro to Airplay.

Trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Airplay.  I get the icon and menu for selecting Airplay but it is grayed out and cannot be selected.  I have IOS 10.8.2. Anyone experience this?

Remove the security and see if you can connect. It may be the type of security (WPA, WEP, etc.) that your Mac isn't liking.

  • IPad cannot connect to MacBook Pro

    I have recently updated to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro and my iPad is running iOS 8.1.
    If I plug the iPad into the MacBook (usb) then the charge symbol on the iPad flashes rapidly and repeatedly between charging and not charging. When I open Itunes I get an error message saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." which I then can't get out of - i.e. I click OK on the error message and it returns straight away.
    Anyone got any ideas as I now cannot sync or backup my iPad?
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
    2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    iPad Model MC705B/A
    16GB

    Sorted - kind of - not my cable but it is the socket on the iPad itself. OK if just plugged into a charger, but when connecting to a Mac, it's obviously doggy as it works if I apply pressure to one side of the plug. As soon as I release the pressure it starts flickering on the power indicator again and the error pops back up.
    So physical problem, not Yosemite or iOS8

  • HT1349 Why bluetooth cannot connect between MacBook Pro and iPhone 3? If I need how?

    I'm trying to connect ipnone 3 and MACBook Pro through bluetooth for photo transfer...but unable to recongnise, please advise?

    "I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs."
    This is not a feature of iphone.  Never has been.
    Other than tethering for internet, where provided by the carrier, you cannot connect to a computer/device/phone and do anything.
    Bluetooth is for handsfree telephone devices/headsets, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer to peer apps from the app store and tethering where provided by the carrier.

  • HT3669 Where did you get the driver information for the HP 4MV.  I cannot connect to MacBook Pro on 10.6.8 and believe you have information that might help.  Please advise ASAP.

    Apple published a report - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669#HP - that states system 10.6.8 supports the HP LaserJet 4MV.  If this is accurate information, I would like to know where the drivers are located.  I have spent more than three hours with your technical support and no one has a clue how to make this combination work.  Please help ASAP.  Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    We are all users here. There is no one from Apple responding on these user forums.
    You did not mention which interface you are trying to use, or what steps Apple support had you try already, so I'll start with basics.
    Your mid-2009 MacBook Pro would have shipped with OS X 10.5 'Leopard', and OS X 10.5 and prior versions supported the AppleTalk network connection and protocols, as well as others.
    OS X 10.6, 'Snow Leopard' dropped support for AppleTalk.
    So, Snow Leopard 10.6.8 likely does contain the correct DRIVER for your printer, BUT if your printer was originally connected via AppleTalk, AppleTalk will not work with Snow Leopard. Period.
    There is at least one recently-published workaround to connect your printer via Ethernet, provided that you have the OPTIONAL HP Ethernet MIO interface card installed in your HP LaserJet 4MV printer.
    If your printer DOES have the optional Ethernet interface, you can reconfigure your printer to use Ethernet instead of Appletalk. No, it's not 'plug and play' like AppleTalk was, but patiently following detailed step-by-step instructions it can be made to work.
    The HP forums contains brief instructions on how to configure MIO Ethernet, and once configured, how to select the 4MV driver within this thread:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/Laserjet-4mv/td-p/1176843
    This Macrumors forum thread contains a post by TrumpSAJ with more detailed configuration instructions:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=8748935#post8748935
    Other World Computing has an older guide linked here:
    http://blog.macsales.com/1897-appletalk-not-available-in-snow-leopard
    And a thread on Gigaom discussing some other alternatives to Ethernet (for a variety of printers):
    http://gigaom.com/apple/how-to-resurrect-your-appletalk-printer-in-snow-leopard/
    In my opinion, if you don't already have an HP Ethernet MIO card installed in your circa 1995 printer, then it's time to buy a new printer. Spending more money to 'upgrade' something that old doesn't seem like a good investment.

  • Imac cannot connect with macbook pro

    I'm using an Airport express as my router and I cannot get access to files on the other computer. When the Apple Extreme worked, this was not a problem. I have files sharing checked in the Sharing Preferences and Wireless is the number 1 in the networking screen. I can print wirelessly. Please help.

    We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

    I connect my macbook pro to an Epson wireless projector. The macbook can see the projector wirelessly and the image on the macbook is displayed on the projector. However on system ref., the arrangement tab does not show and thus cannot have multiple view.
    I am trying to project Pro Presenter on the Epson projector such that I have the detail screen on the macbook and only the screen I want people to see on the projector display. This has not been possible because the arrangement tab on the Display section of the System Preference is not showing. If i tried to search for the arangement, it comes back with the message that there is not other source detected, hence the arrangement tab is not showing.
    I have also tried to connect the Epson directly to the Macbook but it still the same result, so its not because it is a wireless connection. Can someone advise me jhow to go around this problem. I have used windows before and it is very easy to extend ptojection on windows, but this system seems to be frustrating to me.

  • I cannot get my Macbook Pro retina to connect to my BT Home hub.

    Hi,
    I cannot get my Macbook Pro Retina to connect to my BT homehub either wirelessly or through ethernet using the thunderbolt adaptor.  I know that this is a problem with my IP address as in Network Settings it tells me that
    'Thunderbolt Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet.'
    I know that my internet connection is fine as I can plug the ethernet cable back into my PC and it works fine.  Also, my phone and ipad connect wirelessly just fine.
    Bt have told me to contact Apple, but I can't get hold of Apple till tomorrow.
    Amyone know how to overcome this?
    I did also find my IP address and enter it manually, at which point netwrok settings showed my ethernet connection as green and connected, but it still wasn't working.
    Thanks

    Same for wifi.  I have put in my IP address manually for the wifi network and it has gone green and connects to the hub, but gives me an exclamation mark on the wifi bar and still doesnt connect to the internet.
    I am writing this whilst connected to the internet on the same laptop but connected to BTFON which is a really slow public network I have access to as a BT customer.

  • Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

    Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
    Thanks in advance
    Jeff

    It is 'just not working' again.
    To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
    I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
    I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
    It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
    I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
    The passwords are 100% correct.
    The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
    Thanks

  • Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

    Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
    It needs to be wireless.
    I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
    Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

    My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
    Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
    PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
    Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can´t connect my macbook pro to apple tv

    I can´t get my MacBook pro to connect apple tv.How to do?

    Hey Jonas!
    Depending on how you want to connect your computer to your Apple TV, I have a couple of articles for you that can help answer your question. First, if you have OS X Mountain Lion on your MacBook Pro, this article about AirPlay Mirroring will help you understand some of the options available to you with that feature, and at the bottom of the page is a link to instructions for setting up AirPlay Mirroring:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
    You can also have your iTunes Library connect to your Apple TV through a feature called Home Sharing, more information on which can be found here:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
    Hope that helps you understand some of the options available to you for connecting your MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
