We cant connect to apple tv

That's not how you work with an Apple TV. If you want to mirror your screen to an Apple TV, you'll need to be running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and then will need to make sure your iMac supports AirPlay Mirroring. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT540
If your iMac does not support AirPlay Mirroring or cannot run OS X 10.8, look into AirParrot:

After updating to iOS 8.1.3 the AirPlay mirroring problem seems to be an result of this. Audio comes out but there's a black screen.

Mirroring my iPhone 6 Plus worked fine before the the iOS 8.1.3 update, but now only audio plays with a black screen, occasionally saying "an error has occurred, please try again later". I have tried many ways to fix this problem, but has been unsuccessful. This happened multiple times in the past too. I'm so mad they never improve and fix this problem. >:( Grrr...

If you are just getting audio then that is not mirroring. Are you going to control centre, tapping airplay and toggling ON mirroring?

Apple TV 3 has mirroring problem with Yosemite

Just updated to Yosemite yesterday for my macbook pro retina 2013. At the same time, I bought an apple TV 3 for which I want to use my TV as an external monitor. Strangely, all iTunes movies streamed from my macbook work fine for the apple TV -- very smooth video. But when I switched on "mirror screen", the video has huge lag! That's very strange. Why apple TV handles well with iTunes movies but not the mirrored screen? Any solutions?

exact same problems here. Macbook Pro 2012 upgraded Yosemite and down goes support for Apple TV 3, " no user connected" .
worse: streaming SACD music from AUDIRVANA PLUS to Airport Express, optically connected to my HIFI, gone as well.
Is this an Itunes 12.01 issue? anyway the APP Audio Switcher brought back the music to my living room.
And i have a separate AUDIO AIRPLAY button now, which is a lot easier than the standard Apple setup.

Airplay mirroring problems from MacBook Pro only

I have the second newest MacBook Pro (the one that came out before the retina display) and an apple tv (Generation 3) that i just purchased last week. When i go to do airplay mirroring to put youtube or movies on the sound is perfect but the video is only a blurry picture of my screen and it updates the picture about once every minute and gets stuck on another blurred picture. but i also have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 2 and airplay mirroring work just fine on that. Any answers to this would be awesome!!!
P.S. i bought the Apple TV to stream the BCS Bowl from my MacBook to my tv and that day we used it the airplay mirroring worked Flawless, but since that day it has been acting screwy.

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.

when i use i pad with apple tv for see my photo,youtube and movies all ok.

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Two monitors, one iMac, mirroring problem

Here is the background: I want to stay healthy. All this sitting is killing me (and us).
So I attached a 23 inch Apple Cinema HD Display to my 16 GB memory (max) 27 inch iMac Intel Core i5 using a little adaptor. I have one screen up on a tall desk (so I can stand) and one on a lower desk (so I can sit) - this makes no difference to the problem here but, I want to give you a reason why I am asking a question. I use a wired Apple keyboard with the iMac and wireless with the Cinema HD. It all works great. Except for one problem.
I need to mirror the two (not mirroring would not make sense or work as it is essentially just two monitors in different user spots plus 2-3 feet apart on different levels + the menus and windows only stay on one screen for non mirroring - a pain). I only need one screen at a time.
When I mirror, the Cinema HD looks fine but the iMac shrinks down in size. When I choose the 2560 x 1440 iMac size, the iMac just goes back to the smaller 1920 x 1200 and says “Usable resolution 1920 x 1200”.
What is going on and, is there a fix I can employ to regain the lost screen real estate on the iMac screen? The 1920 x 1200 does not look as good on the iMac and the dock icons shrink to be unusable too.

You have a few options which are detailed here:

Display Mirroring Problem

I am running OSX 10.6.8 on a 27" iMac. I have my HDTV connected via the Mini DisplayPort. The only way I have been able to use my TV as a monitor (e.g., to play a movie on the iMac and watch it on the TV) is to mirror the displays.
The problem with this is that I can't use my iMac whenever I am doing this.
Is there a way to play a movie on the mac and output it to the TV while I am using the computer for something else?
Thanks,
M.

Strange indeed.
Do you have to use an adaptor on the PowerBook's video-out port to connect the TV? Sometimes an adaptor by itself left on the computer can affect internal settings.
It was an old trick with the venerable PowerMac Beige G3 series to force certain monitors to work from a PCI video card. We'd attach a Mac-to-VGA adaptor to the logic board video-out port, but connect nothing to it, to trick the computer to "think" there was a real monitor attached there.
So...if you have been leaving a video adaptor connected to the computer, see if things change when you remove it.
Guessing here: Are you hot-connecting the TV? I don't know if that's good or bad on the newer Macs but, in the "dino-days" we were taught to attach extra monitors only when the computer was off.

IMac HDMI 'Mirroring' problems with LG 'Full HD' TV

I have my 20” aluminium iMac connected via a mini-DVI/HDMI adapter to my LG 32LF7700 full HD LCD TV. In mirroring mode it’s pretty good, but I have two problems.
1. Even when I turn ‘Mirroring’ off from my Mac’s displays ‘Menu’ options I still have the ‘Snow Leopard’ desktop background on my TV, and my iMac’s mouse will not stay within the iMac screen area. The mouse can still move off the iMac screen into the TV area. Is there any way, apart from unplugging the TV HDMI cable, to revert fully to the iMac screen when I turn ‘Mirroring’ off?
2. When playing movies in 16x9 ‘full screen’ on the iMac the image is not quite full screen on my TV. I had a ‘HD ready’ TV before the LG one and it was possible to fill the screen. Am I missing something in the settings that would make 16’x9 full screen’ on the iMac give me ‘full screen’ on my TV. My TV is PAL, 1080p (or 1080i), and is properly detected by the iMac.
Thanks.

Perhaps you misunderstand the two display process with a Mac. There are only two modes;
Mirroring is when both screens display the same thing, so your HDTV is just perhaps providing a larger version of the iMac display for using from across the room. The other is Extended Desktop mode, which creates a wide Mac Desktop that extends from one display to the other, based on which order that you have arranged the two display icons in Sys Prefs/Displays. This is why your mouse will travel from one display to the other as it travels across this wide Desktop.
In addition to the order that you have arranged these Desktops, you can choose which one is primary by dragging the Menubar from one icon to the other in Sys Prefs/Displays.
As far as watching videos, I d not have two monitors upon which to test this, but I believe that you can adjust the two displays screen resolutions separately in Sys Prefs/Displays.
If you go to the Help menu in the Finder choose Mac Help. After it opens click the index in the upper right and go to D/Displays. You will find some explanations about using multiple displays with your iMac, including Extended and Mirrored modes.

[SOLVED] Fluxbox won't work and mirror problem

Hello all, I recently tried to make the switch to Arch again from Ubuntu. Ran into some trouble though. Obviously I was using the 64 bit version. It installed just fine, but once I booted into it I couldn't use pacman to install anything or even refresh. After a bit of playing I found the file where the mirrors hide. The one I set in installation was uncommented as it should be but not working so up above I uncommented the same one (ibilio) and that fixed that. Is that a normal problem? Anyhow no biggie so I moved on. I go for straight Fluxbox. So I installed xorg and fluxbox. But for the life of me I can not get it to boot to fluxbox. Keeps going to twm. I tried everything in the fluxbox guide from the Arch wiki to get it going with no luck. Finally gave up and went back to Ubuntu. Now I used the 32 bit a time or two on an old computer and fluxbox worked fine. Here like I say startx would bring up twm. And startfluxbox (think thats the right command) would get a cannot connect to xserver error. Any ideas? I sure would love to use Arch. Sorry I can't be more precise on how it went but I no longer have it installed. If someone thinks they can help me with this though I would love to try again. Thanks.

Ah, sorry, I should have specified that you add it to your ~/.xinitrc file, and you will most likely have to make then edit that file (as I did) yourself.
touch ~/.xinitrc
and then, with your text editor of choice add this line to that file
exec startfluxbox
and save. If that still doesn't work let me know
You will always get kicked back to the command line, as X cannot find any login manager, and you had no user-specified fallback file that it would look for instead, so it fell back finally on the system-wide fallback, which is TWM.
So you have to rely on writing your own way to start x, which is the ~/.xinitrc file. Otherwise it will always find twm.
If you really don't want twm, you can easily remove it (I don't have it installed at all) with a simple 'pacman -R xorg-twm'.

[SOLVED] pacman mirror problems

It seems that my preferred mirror (mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca) is down, so I commented it out of /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. However, pacman still insists on trying to download from this mirror EVERY TIME it tries to install or update a package
So each package takes about 15 seconds to say:
error: failed retrieving file 'gcc-4.5.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca: Connection timed out
before trying another mirror.
Is there an option to make sure pacman is using the mirrors specified in the mirrorlist, or to not use a certain mirror? I can't find anything in the man page or wiki.
thanks.

I know this thread is marked solved but I've just run into the same problem and was wondering how you fixed this issue?
When I run pacman -Syu I get:
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca : Connection timed out
So I guess this is the same problem. It's weird though because I'm still able to search for packages without the connection timing out. I did check the mirrors status and it still seems to be up so I don't think that's an issue.
Any help would be appreciated, sorry in advance if I've done something wrong by posting in a thread marked solved.
Shot in the dark but I had a similar problem. The way I fixed it (and I'm still not sure why it worked) but I manually entered my DNS servers into my network manager applet. I don't know if you use Gnome, KDE, or whatever (I use KDE), but that worked for some reason. Maybe you could try it.
Thanks for the response, yes I'm using Gnome and networkmanager applet 0.8. I'm not too sure what you mean by entering the DNS server in the network manager applet. Are you suggesting that I enter my ip address (the one assigned to me by my ISP) into the BSSID or MAC address field? Those are the only two fields that I see when I select my connection and click edit in the network manager applet, unless I go to the security settings or one of the IPv tabs.
I was able to update my system after uncommenting the kernel.org mirror, so maybe it is the mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca. Too bad mirrors don't have a blog or something to post news/status updates on it could prove helpful when problems like this occur. Then again that would mean more maintenance for them and I can understand why it might be considered too much work. I guess https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus works good enough.

HDMI mirroring problems since IOS7 update

Hello
I use I pad 2 with an HDMI cable and adapter to connect to my Panasonic TV for the larger screen.
Since the update, Facetime has no sound to the TV and then the picture cuts out after a few minutes.
BT Sport has sound and vision to the TV but both cut out after a few minutes.
The I pad continues as normal.
I have not tried streaming a movie but I assume it will be the same.
Has any one else had or solved this problem?
The latest bug fix did nothing to resolve this problem.
Thanks

Can't install cups, mirror problems?

Hi, I am trying to install cups to be able to use my printer, but it seems there's some problem. I don't know if its because upgrades(Read on frontpage cups is upgraded to 1.2.10-1) or just a glitch. This happens both on swedish(ftp.gigabit.nu) mirror and on the main site(ftp.archlinux.org).
Should I just wait or download packages manually
[root@apc ~]# pacman -S cups
Targets: openslp-1.2.1-1 cups-1.2.9-1
Total Package Size: 2.9 MB
Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] y

i'm having upgrade problems, too. i tried every server in the pacman files and it only gets a few Kb at a time before stalling out. the mirrors must be syncing, would be my guess. i think it might be related to what one of the devs (i think it was) mentioned a few days ago about people setting up mirrors for local networks who don't really need to and hogging all the resources.
>> just tried some of the european mirrors, they seem to be working a little better. it must be some greedy "me me me" americans taking up all the server bandwidth for their 2 PC networks.

HT204291 Mirroring problems

I can mirror video and sound on my tv from my IPad when I use the air play button embedded on the You Tube screen. It will then play the you tube content well. However, when not in You Tube, when I press the standard air play mirror button on the pull-up bar I can only obtain sound. Any ideas as to why?

Problem resolved by resetting after chatting to Apple help who were very helpful!
