I cannot get AirPlay to work on the latest MacBook Air?

I have the latest Apple TV and the latest MacBook Air yet I cannot get the Airplay icon to appear on my MacBook Air.

can the atv see the computers sharedlib?
can the atv access youtube and the likes?
if non of those things then likely the problem is that the atv don't have a network connection

  • Cannot get migration assistant working from PowerBook to MacBook Air - what am I doing wrong?

    Hello out there,
    I am proud possessor of a new MacBook Air with Mac OS X 10.7. Up to now, I used a PowerBook with Mac OX X 10.4.11. Although the two macs - old and new one - are connected via the same WLAN network, I cannot get the migration assistant going. The two cannot find each other, although they are only 5 centimetres apart....what am I doing wrong? Do I need an update for the PowerBook? And if yes, which one? Or should I give up?
    Thank you so much for your help, greetings from sunny Munich, Evelyn

    Have a read here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4818.
    Maybe you need this update for 10.4.11 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3174
    You should also read this Basic Guide https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295 from one of local Gurus.

  • I cannot get Airdrop to work on an older MacBook.

    I cannot get Airplay to work on an older MacBook, ca. 2007, even though I recently had Apple install a new hard drive, 4 Gigs of RAM, and Lion OS X 10.7.4.  Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, it is not supported on 2007 machines:

  • How can I switch on my Apple TV speakers when it asks "multiple speakers" I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work?

    How can I get my Apple TV airplay to work from my PC.  On the airplay symbol it says Multiple Peakers please choose but I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work from my PC.  Everything is OK when using my Ipod touch.

    Don't use Multiple Speakers option and just choose the AppleTV
    What are you trying to Airplay? If it's iTunes content it's simpler to 'pull' the stream from the Computers icson on AppleTV by selecting the libarry and media.
    If you are attempting to Airplay the desktop you can't.

  • It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    it used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
    Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

  • Will the Creative Suite CS6 run well on the latest MacBook Air?

    I am in the market for a mac and I would like to know how much performance would I be sacrificing for portability in choosing an Air. I currently run a Dell Studio 15 with a 1st-gen Quad-core i7 1.6gHz with 8GB of RAM. Obviously I cannot compare the two for various reasons, so that is just a gauge for what I am accostomed to. I have been told that an Air can run Photoshop, but not everyone pushes the program to the same degree or in the same way. Is there a quantifiable threshold for what the MacBook Air can handle in Photoshop, such as performance editing RAW files vs performance doing 3D work or Animation work? How does it perform running Photoshop and say, Illustrator, at the same time?
    I understand it may be too soon to tell...
    Signed,
    High Expectations...

    Since you're asking about Photoshop performance on the latest MacBook Air, you'll get more responses if you post in the Photoshop forum.

  • Cannot get PhotoStream to work on the Mac

    Any ideas on this?
    I'm running Lion latest build, latest iphoto but PhotoStream will not enable. Its on in the iCloud preferences, but for the life of me i cannot get it to work.

    Came across the same odity.
    Remdey for me was:
    1. quit iPhoto
    2. open System Preferences and go into the iCloud prefs
    3. enable Photo Stream
    4. open iPhoto
    It didn't seem to work instantly with these steps, I have switched it off once and back on again, but I think iPhoto was open somewhere in the procedure.
    No restart was required.

  • Will Boot Camp work with the new Macbook Airs?

    I want an 11.6" MBA now, but I want to be sure I can put Windows 7 on it if I need to. Will this just work like the other MacBooks? Does the new MBA software USB key come with the Boot Camp setup files? Thanks!

    I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 on my MBA 11" using a USB flash drive and a program called rEFIt, http://refit.sourceforge.net. it's a free program that also lets you install Linux too. you can even triple boot.
    i have had no problems with my MBA and i've had it for a few weeks now. it's awesome.
    for those curious how i managed to install Win 7 via USB flash drive, i used a free program from MS that you can find here. http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool?err=t2#at2
    i hope that helps.
    now i must go post a new thread with my problem of enabling AHCI on the MBA!

  • WPS54GU2 printing to parallel printer with Windows 7 64-bit-cannot get it to work for the life of me

    Hello,
    I am having the worst difficulties getting the WPS54GU2 to print to a HP Laserjet 4L printer. I know that the general communication is working as I am able to print a test page from the 
    I have the IP address correct for the print server (in my case it is 192.168.1.103) and is set statically in the print server setup.
    I have it working fine on an XP box The port name configured on the XP machine is LK89A0B5_P1.
    The software that comes with the WPS print server will not install on Windows 7 so the address/port/queue must
    be set up manually.
    I have tried the link from Cisco's KB that shows how to configure the print sever:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=69efd80e2ea44d948fea2365d3e0c9eb_Configuring_TCP_I...
    however this does not work and the print job either gets stuck in the print queue, or it shows busy/error in the print queue.
    I have also tried suggestions on this forum that say not to create a TCP/IP port but instead use LPR port.
    Can someone please give me the solution that will work. I have heard people say to use L1 for the queue name, or P1, or LP1
    or lp1. I cannot spend much more time on this before I give up and look for a different print server that will work with both parallel and USB printers.
    Thanks for help/suggestions on this.
    Mike

    sometimes it needs the device- specific drivers to get it to work; especially that you have a 64- bit OS.
    the print server is already connected to the network, right? what is its IP address? check if the computer can ping that IP by going to start> search> cmd> ping 192.168.1.78 (change this to the correct IP address). if your computer can ping the print server then you can setup LPR printing to get your printing jobs done. click on the link below for more info.

  • TS4268 I have two IPad registered in my name. I would like to leave one at home with my husband and call him on FaceTime while I travel. I cannot get this to work between the two iPads. What am I doing wrong?

    I have an old IPad 2 and a new IPad. They are both registered to my name . I would like to leave the old one at home with my husband and call him on FaceTime when I travel. I have tried this at home with the two iPads and cannot seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

    Hey Lft1033,
    You'll want to have your husband sign up on the older iPad with his own Apple ID. First, on the old iPad, sign out of your Apple ID:
    To sign out of your Apple ID
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Then, sign in with the other Apple ID, and that should work. If it doesn't work after having separate Apple IDs on each iPad, check out the following document where, towards the bottom, there is a "Troubleshooting FaceTime calls" section:

    Have a good one,

  • Cannot get camera to work for the first time.

    I cannot get the camera to work . I have the IPad2 and just tried to use it this week.   Have tried turning on &off and nothing is working. The video will not come on either. Any ideas.

    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset (if that wasn't what you meant by turning the iPad off and on) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How can I get Recipefox to work with the latest version (16) of Firefox?

    Recipefox worked on previous versions of Firefox. I could use the Grab It feature on many sites & easily retrieve recipes. Now, with the latest version of Firefox, it does not work on any of the recipe websites. Is there a more recent version of Recipefox that works with Firefox version 16, I am using 0.68. Does Recipefox get updated with newer versions of Firefox.

    Hi,
    You can try to right-click and '''Find Updates''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''. You can also '''Remove''' it, and search and install via the Search box on the top right or from [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/ AMO].
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Using%20extensions%20with%20Firefox Using Extensions]
    If problems persist you can reset Firefox and start afresh with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/recipefox/?src=search recipefox].
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
