HT204291 Making AirPlay mirroring fit the dimensions of your television.

Using AirPlay mirroring, how do you make the window full screen / or to fit the dimensions of your tv?

>I read that it was supposed to show up when you turned on your apple tv.
That is not even remotely true.  First off the Mac has to be new enough to even support AirPlay.  Second is AirPlay enabled on the Mac?  Turning it on on ATV does nothing to to the Mac you are trying to use.   If it is supported on the Mac, and AirPlay is enable on the Mac did you add the AirPlay user Id/password to the Mac to enable the AirPlay connection?

  • Airplay Mirroring and the Mac DVD player not working

    Has anyone else experienced issues trying to airplay mirror the mac dvd player?  When I attempt to play a dvd while airplay mirroring is turned on the dvd player window just shows the checkerboard pattern and no video (this is on both the laptop screen and the tv screen).  If I take airplay mirroring off the dvd displays properly.

    I had this same problem, and i read that it has to do with DRM. Even DVDs you make your self wont work because the DRM is set on the DVD player it self. You can use VLC and it should work, it worked with me. Anyways good luck.

  • HT204291 Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and AppleTV while using Airplay Mirroring for the TV?

    Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and Apple TV while simultaneously using Airplay Mirroring to view the computer screen on the TV? Whenever I try, by clicking on 'computer' radial button for volume in iTunes Airplay, the TV automatically reverts to the Apple TV screen. I usually end up using preferences to 'bring back' the audio to the computert while leaving the picture on the tv, but this means i have to suffer from the inferior sound quality of my Macbook internal speakers.

  • HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring. The ATV3 screen goes black.

    When my mid MBP 2011 connects via AirPlay Mirroring. Mountain Lion.  The screen goes black. It has worked before. Now it doesn't.  I checked firewall, graphics switching and rebooting all devices.
    Streaming via iTunes works fine. ATV3 can access my MBP's library.
    thanks!

    Problem solved... sorta!
    It appears that Parallels 7 is not compatible with Airplay Desktop Mirroring in ML
    If you remove this file com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist
    inside
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    then reboot.
    ATV3 now works again with Airplay Mirroring.
    However, it breaks Parallels.  And you simply cannot put the com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist file back inside /Library/Daemons.  You need to re-install Parrallels. Could be a permissions thing, but I tried to repaire and follow Parallels instructions on how to start and stop the service.
    I Hope this helps save someone some time...

  • HT204291 Using AirPlay Mirroring by my iPhon, iPad or Mac I am dissconnected every 5-10 min! Why?

    Using AirPlay Mirroring by my iPhon, iPad or Mac I am dissconnected every 5-10 min! Why?

    The iPad 1 does not support mirroring at all. Nor does your Mac Pro when running 10.7.5; Mirroring via AirPlay came only with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

  • HT204291 My AirPlay mirroring is grainy.

    My AirPlay mirroring was working perfectly and now any movement pixelates and looks very grainy. I can't use it to watch video anymore. I have a 30+Mbps DSL and a new MacBook Pro with plenty of power. Any reason this suddenly doesn't flow well? It even gets ****** while I type this out.

    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.

  • Why isn't my iMac compatible with airplay mirroring with the new Mountain Lion upgrade?

    Yesterday, I upgraded to the newly released Max OS X Mountain Lion, mainly because I was very interested in the airplay mirroring function that Mountain Lion brings to the table. To my dismay, however, I found that AirPlay is not available on my device due to the fact that my iMac is from mid/late 2010 and that function only works on mid-2011 and newer.
    Why is it that my 21.5" iMac running a core i3 processor is not deemed worthy enough to have this function. I honestly feel a bit robbed that it is not included in my $19.99.  Why am I paying the same price as someone else who is getting that key feature.
    I love Apple to death. I've had many of their products, but I really feel as though this is unfair, and that I have been mislead.

    I don't know why it does not work - assuming it has something to do with firmware, EFI, or similar; however, if you want Apple to hear you, consider filing feedback here since these are strictly user to user forums:

  • Best practice for making a mirror of the system disk

    I've got an HP ML115 machine that I'm installing Solaris 10 on. It has four disks: a 160GB (boot drive), a 300GB spare, and two 1.5TB drives. I've made a mirrored pool of the two 1.5TB drives. I'd like to create a mirror of the 160GB boot drive (I realise I'll lose some space). However, I'm unsure of how to do this. Attempting to create a mirror (zpool create -f bootmirror c0t0d0 c0t1d0) tells me that the partitions are mounted.
    Any ideas on what the best way to achieve this is, please?

    What filesystem type is root currently UFS or ZFS.
    If its currently UFS, you will have to use SVM for mirroring. A UFS root can't be converted to a ZFS root.
    If its already a ZFS root just not mirrored, it should be simple. Just add the disk to the pool to "promote" it to mirrored.
    You do that with a zpool attach command.

  • Is anyone having trouble with airplay mirroring after the 5.2 update?

    I just updated my apple tv to 5.2 and now I experience freezing of the video after awhile. I can watch streaming content and then the video will stop but audio continues. I'm using an imac with mountain lion and i use a dual band n router.

    Hello there, T'Quananmy
    The following Knowledge Base article, although written for iPhone is applicable for troubleshooting issues with the speaker on your iPad as well:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please  contact Apple Support.

  • HT204291 Get AirPlay mirroring (or similar functionality) with a cable (not wireless)?

    Is there a way to mirror my ipad screen to my macbook pro with just an old fashioned cable?
    This may sound crazy, but I need to project ipad applications for demonstrations, and I need to be able to do this on corporate networks that don't support multicast DNS. Is this possible?

    Not that I know of, 3rd party programs that do this facilitate wireless mirroring.

  • What is the shorthand on illustrator for it telling you the dimensions of your shape?

    I've accidentally turned off the setting where when and as your are drawing a shape on illustrator it tells you the width and height of your selected object and it is driving me crazy trying to work out what I pressed to do it. I remember I did it before and it was some shorthand thing that I found online but now I can't find what it is anywhere, anyone know??
    Thanks!!

  • HT201335 The airplay mirroring is not working on Mountain Loin.

    The airplay mirroring is not working. The AirPlay mirroring box states "No devices Detected" and will not let you select anything else. The Apple tv is updated and I have a MacBook Pro (Oct 2011)

    I don't disagree with much of what you are thinking/feeling, and many others too I dare say.
    I do mention Airparrot but usually (not above) with some reservation saying some users report good things some others don't.  There is after all a demo and people should try that.
    There is a big technical difference between Airplay from iTunes and Airplay mirroring.  The former simply has to send a preformatted h264 video stream (i.e. a file in the iTunes media library) to AppleTV across the LAN - there is no processing of this stream required, and AppleTV does the decoding.  The latter involves generating that stream live from individual video frames and also then streaming to AppleTV.
    Apple seem to have gone for a hardware encoding solution for the stream using post 2011 Intel chip features detailed here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video
    They also seem to have decided not to offer a software solution for older processors - this is what grates - Airparrot clearly shows that many people can get acceptable performance on many earlier machines.
    There are many many examples of instances where Apple has abandoned support for or left out features on older hardware - either playing safe avoiding underperformance or maybe something else.....
    When there are genuine reasons not to support things that's fine.  When it's ambiguous customers get upset and might take their money elsewhere for future purchases.  Apple need to be careful as in the current climate things are pretty tight financially for most people, and they are not in the habit of replacing computers as often as mobile phones - I think the phone business model is clearly partly at fault.

  • Ok....I have a 2012 MBP that has Yosemiti installed.  The airplay works from iTunes, but when I try to mirror from the desktop I get the "no device detected" message.  Airplay on all of my other devices work fine.  Has anyone else had this issue?
