Mirroring issue with retina 5k

i have bought Imac retina 5k and i've got latest apple tv. The problem is when i connect my mac to apple tv, its just showing black screen but when i airplay from itunes it plays ok. I tried disconnecting the bluetooth and i also updated apple tv and my mac, but still not working. Any other suggestions?

I just bought the Retina iMac, and Airplay mirroring just showing black screen, but from within iTunes worked ok, Just like original question. I searched around and found the answer for my problem. I had previously installed AirParrot on my old iMac Snow Leopard to provide same functionality. When I upgraded to new computer through migration assistant, it installed AirParrot on new machine. Turns out AirParrot was causing the problem. I googled "Uninstall Airparrot" and got a series of 6-8 sudo terminal commands from the Air Parrot support website in order to completely remove Air Parrot, and after I did that, and rebooted, I tried the Retina iMac Airplay, and voila, works just like it should. PERFECT. If you didn't have AirParrot installed, maybe you have some other program installed that installs its own video driver too. I saw mention on the discussion board of other programs with similar functionality that some people have installed that was causing same issue. Anyway... that's what fixed it for me, and I wanted to pass along that info. It was VERY frustrating, brand new machine less than a week old, already not working, but got it fixed now. Hope this helps SOMEONE out there!

IOS 7.0.3 did not fix the mirroring issue with ATVs and AirServer. Anyone have an idea what needs to be done?

iOS 7.0.3 did not fix the mirroring issue with ATVs and AirServer. Anyone have an idea what needs to be done? The only solution we have found is to reboot the iPad. We don't have the option of restarting the wireless as so many people are on and it would further disrupt classes.

IMovie transitions issue with retina mac?

Does anyone have an issue with adding transitions in a video in iMovie on the 13" RETINA macbook pro? I have imported a .mov file and I can't put transitions between the video. iMovie starts to do this weird thing where it shortens the video and displaces the video on the timeline. Has anyone else encounter that?

Website Issues with Retina Displays

An apple rep stated, that “Yes, some websites are not very clear when viewed with a retina display.” He wouldn’t elaborate further. So, is this a problem? If it is, how major of one is it?
Also, is there a real difference between the retina display and a high-res non-glare display? I really like non-glare displays. This apple rep also admitted that although there is less glare in the new retina displays than the previous high-res screens, they are still not as ‘non-glare’ as the older MBP ‘non-glare’ screens. What’s your opinion about this? No one really likes any glare if they can get away with it. But is the retina display really a big deal?

I have not had any issues with web sites. Be aware that if a web site is coded to be 1024 pixels wide and you have your screen resolution set at 2880 wide then the page will be very small and the text unreadable. So you will have to decide what is the best resolution for you. I have mine set at 1920x1200 pixels and all web sites seem to work well.
There is a noticeable difference between the retina and the glossy screens. About 70% less glare according to Apple. Seems right from my experience.
You should go to an Apple store and check out the display for yourself.

Ventilation issue with Retina 15"

Hi,
I bought my Macbook pro Retina 15" on September.. It's my principal work tool, so i'm worried about a problem i have for 3 weeks now (approximately since the last Moutain Lion update, but I'm not sure).
My Macbook was perfectly quiet (as every macbooks), but now, the two fans are ... noisy, they start with the OS and stopped only when I power off the Mac. The noise is equivalent to the one made when I power on 2 virtual machines at the same time before this issue (not a big noise, but quite annoying).
I don't know if the Moutain Lion update is responsible, but i want to know if I'd rather go to an Apple Store now (2500euros, I would ben a little disappointed if my mac was broken, but i prefer controling it), or if anybody had a similar problem, or if it's just the update ... The noise don't seems to be something broken, just fans hight speed.
Thank's for your answers,
Lucas

Please download, install and run iStat Pro to determine fan speeds and temperatures. Post back with a screen shot of the results.

Very real heat issue with Retina Mac

I'm running Temperature Gauge by Tunabelly Software, a trusted app. It has shown me several times in the last two days that two or 3 of the CPU cores report back as 90 C. Average fan speed coming in at 5065.
Am being cautious in how I use it - not on soft surface - all vents unobstructed - space between bottom of laptop and hard surface.
The app has actually suggested several times that I shut the machine down or close apps. I'm not running it that hard - actually ordered it with maxed out options so I could use it for much more than this.

Mirroring Issues with Apple TV...help

I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro and have recently bought a Apple TV but am unable to get mirroring working apart from in itunes. The icon does not appear anywhere on the menu bar. All the software is up to date. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums
everytime i delete the albums from my itunes library and try to sync it, it always starts adding my TV shows of which i have hundreds and would fill my memory on my computer.
Unfortunately for you this is exactly what is supposed to happen. You need to sync those shows to something as the copies on the Apple tv are vulnerable.
As a workaround you might let your shows sync then delete the files from your mac/pc. That's the actual files, not the listing in itunes, which you would need to keep in place.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
******A true apple fan********

Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

Configure New TM on a New Macbook pro with retina display Issue

I have bought a new New Macbook pro with retina display laptop (Lion moutain OS)and a new TM (2TB).
I have an internet router with wireless connect.
I plugged TM to the router with an ethernet cable.
Connect my TM to my macbook with an ethernet cable.(at this point I still cannot see TM on my Mac)
then I choose Time capsule from WiFi as shown below:
Then the airport utility (version 6.1) opened and start configuring TM but it gives an expected error when it is starting to join the TM!!!!
I have reset the TM several time but with no hope.
PS: I can configure the same TM on a normal laptop with windows 7 installed and Airport utility 5.6
I am struggling on this issue for weeks and I cannot yous TM on my macbook pro.
Help please.

Time Capsule .. TC is the hardware box you bought.. Time Machine is the software you use in the Mac computer.. so what you generally refer to as TM is really TC.. !!
I can configure the same TM on a normal laptop with windows 7 installed and Airport utility 5.6
That is great.. you do not need to setup the Time Capsule at all then. It is already setup.. forget using 6.1 utility.. it is useless toy version.
Just use it.. open Time Machine and see if you can connect to the TC drive to do backup.. and to the wireless.
From your statements..
Connect my TM to my macbook with an ethernet cable.(at this point I still cannot see TM on my Mac)
You are trying to connect with both wireless and ethernet at once.. This can mess things up. choose wireless or ethernet.. not both.
If you keep running into issues.. reset the TC.. I know yet again.
Set it up using SMB names.. for both the TC itself and wireless.
Then lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz.. use channel 1, 6, or 11 (13 in europe) and see how it goes.

Issues with restoring a Time Machine backup onto new Macbook Pro Retina

I recently got a new Macbook Pro Retina and I've been trying to restore a Time Machine backup made today from my old Macbook Pro laptop. I didn't restore from the first start up (foolishly, seemingly) simply because of the trivial reason of wanting to see the system all clean and new.
I've tried the Migration Assistant but it gets stuck on "looking for source..", despite having the ex.HD plugged in and double checking the existance of the backup itself on the ex.HD.
I've also tried booting the laptop up in the 'restore' mode (cmd R) and restoring from there but it sends me in a constant loop of 'this backup was from a previous model of laptop' or something to that affect. It also doesn't display the recent backups at all, only displaying those from the beginning of this year for some reason. All backups are in the same place on the ex.HD so its not an issue with locating the backups.
Really stuck on this one! Would really appreciate some help!
Thanks a lot, and merry Christmas

Yes, you can restore to another machine if needs be.

TS1398 I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about that on about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!

I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........

Flash SDK and MacBook Pro with Retina display major issues

Hello,
Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:

(Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
Please fix this issue.
Andrey

Sure. LR 4.3 even specifically adds Retina support...

Graphics issues with MacBook Pro Retina

I bought my 15" MBPr in July and have been living with these issues since the beginning. Generally the issue happens when scrolling or writing in forms on web pages in Safari. Often times pieces of the web page will stick or ghost. This also sometimes happens when viewing photos on FaceBook. Anyone else having similar issues?

A number of folks have had graphics issues with the Retina display model... since you're still under warranty, take your unit to your local Apple Store or an AASP and reproduce the problem for them. They should have a 'fix' - even if it means replacing the logic board - that will be of no cost to you.
I couldn't have put up with that as long as you have...

New iPad with retina display with 30 pin connector mirroring to TV with dvi adapter problems after software update

Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
and plays properly.
Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
Thanks again.
