Photos with airplay is slow and unreliable

Using airplay to display photos on my ATV2, I find that switching from photo to photo can sometimes be slow, or it could just freeze and not respond. Any suggestions? I've tried it with airport express network, would extreme work better?

Hi,
Tap Settings in your Home screen then tap General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Restart your iPad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Try ATV2 again.
If that didn't help, try the Extreme.

  • Firefox problems with slow and unreliable dialup internet connection

    I have a slow an unreliable dialup internet connection. This is all that is available in my area -- no form of 'broadband' internet is available, not even satelight (I have too many trees in the way).
    What happens is that due to the poor quality of the analog telephone system (very old and poorly maintained copper cables), my modem drops the internet connection from time to time -- it *usually* dials back, but sometimes I have to manually restart the connection. Because the the connection is so slow, it takes a long time to completely load pages and if the connection is lost in the middle of loading a page, Firefox seems to become 'confused' and even if I stop loading the page and then try to reload it, it does not do so. I have an external modem, so I can watch the blinking lights, so I know when data is being transfered (I also have a connection monitor feature as part of my dialup connection software which shows a bar chart of data transfers over the dialip connection).
    I *seems* like what is happening is that Firefox has open network connections that become 'void' when the connection is lost and then reconnected and Firefox attempts to re-cycle these connections. Or else it has 'worker threads' that have become confused or wedged.
    Are there settings that I can set (eg with 'about:config') to deal with these issues?

    Maybe it helps if you toggle the File > Work Offline setting on/off.
    You can also try to reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • Firefox 29 Sucks: Slow and Unreliable

    I am totally annoyed with the new FF version. FF 29 is way too slow and it is unreliable. I don't have a powerplant, but until the last update everything was ok, yet now it massively sucks.
    The most important error is that the browser becomes unresponsible for a couple of seconds. After clicking (or CTRL+clicking) a link, for 2-3 sec, the browser does nothing, no clicks, no shortkeys (CTRL+L, CTRL+W), no paging (Page Down), no tab switching have effect. For a couple of seconds, FF looses all input. It is especially annoying during a page load when I start typing a text: half of the typed characters are forgotten. I can be tolerant for a slow application, but this unreliable behaviour is unacceptable.
    Do you have any idea how to solve this?
    I'd rather use IE than this FF.

    You can make your Firefox fast again. Try out these steps

  • Ken Burns photos ~ pan photos with interest at top and bottom?

    Hello ~ anyone know how to manage a "long skinny" photo without showing it in "fit" ~ with the black around the edges? I want to Ken Burns them because they are important - but stuck with the pan from the shoes to the head, or the reverse. Love the Ken Burns but it is really limited with that type of Photo. Thanks!

    You can add black around the edges of vertically oriented photos with an Automator action called "Pad Images". This has the advantage of letting you batch a lot of photos at a time. You could also add the black space in an application like PhotoShop.
    If you need help with Automator, [see this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10702816&#10702816]

  • Camera to capture ID Photos with Live View tethering and Inexpensive.

    Need suggestions for a relatively cheap webcam or point and shoot camera I can hook to the MBP and control it with live view functionality. Needs to be able to take a stills suitable for ID Photos for a printed conference ID. It would be nice to be able to crop the image before saving it. This image file will be dragged into a FMP image box and the ID printer vis FMP. iSight is too low rez and can't be flipped over to capture away from the keyboard.

    some in http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com should be able to meet your needs for cropping (zoom.)
    A Mac compatible tape based, Firewire connected, miniDV or HiDef camcorder would be ideal and would not require any software beyond what comes with your OS X Mavericks (10.9.)

  • App made with Director runs slower and slower

    Testing our nearly completed game, we are finding that on
    systems with 1GB memory, the game will run smoothly at first but
    after playing the game 4-5 times, it really slows down frame rate
    wise. Systems with 2GB seem to be fine.
    So. it seems it is running out of memory.
    Basically, the player can choose a song they want to sing and
    a 3D venue they want to perform at. They can also record their
    performance so there is a lot going on. Playing mp3, recording
    audio, running 3d window, managing 2d sprites, real-time pitch
    analysis, etc... Even if the player chooses to "try again" which
    allows them to keep singing same song, same venue, etc... the game
    slows down.
    I did a bit of research and it appears Director does memory
    management itself and frees up cast members automatically when
    running low on memory.
    If the system has enough memory to play the game smoothly at
    first, and Director frees up members when low on memory, what else
    can I do to help resolve this problem?
    Thank you!

    You might look for strategic locations to place the "unload"
    function.
    Such as not while its playing music or video.

  • IPad mini with retina very slow and battery drains fast

    my ipad mini 2 is only ten months old. After getting the iOS 8 currently on ios8.0.2, wifi internet speed is only 25% of the normal speed (compared to what my imac tested), battery drains 1% every 3 minutes or so. All of these after I restored it to factory setting per Apple support suggestion. is there any fix for this soon? why is the issue only affecting some but not all users? Is there anything I can do for my ipad? I have only been using it lighty (have installed like less than ten app's) but this is still very frustrating.

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Connection to file server slow and unreliable after upgrading to Leopard

    I have a client with a G5 PowerMac (3 GB memory) who has been connecting reliably to a network file server (Windows based) at her company for years. Upon upgrading to Leopard the connections is slower. Or, rather, opening the root level directory is fast. The second level folder is fast. The third level is fast. Beyond that she gets the spinning cursor and it can take a long time to open, even if there are only a couple files inside. Also, navigating back to the first level I see a spinning cursor and "Connecting..." as though the Mac had lost connection with the file server simply by opening the volume. Sometimes she has to Force Quit the Finder (which reports "not responding". Weird. Any ideas out there?

    Hi Greg,
    It was my second visit to this company, and it was for something else that I was focussed on. I don't know what kind of server they are running. It's a PC house running Exchange servers so it's probably some kind of Microsoft system. If the problem persists I'l get more info next week when they reopen after the holiday.

  • Infinity slow and unreliable

    I've had Infinity 2 a few weeks now. Sadly it's not the 'wonder' product BT would have you believe.
    Today I couldn't connect and then when connection was restored it was really slow. I'm paying for BT top product and it's a bit of a let down. Why was I getting a 'BT Wholesale' error page ? My wife has just texted me at work so say the internet has 'ground to a halt'.
    Not happy.

  • Issue with Airplay from iPad and iPhone

    Hi,
    I have installed YUPPTV app into my iPad and connected Apple TV to my HDTV and trying to play my TV channels from YuppTV via AirPlay but after watching them for about 20 minutes it is disconnecting automatically and AirPlay icon is disappearing from my iPad. I really dont know why this is happening.
    Please help me on this

  • MacBook Wireless slow and unreliable

    I got a MacBook on Monday to evaluate for my employer. The unit I received does not connect to our wireless network when waking from sleep, repeatedly forgets the wep key, and will say it i connected when it hasn't used the wep key, so it doesn't get a valid IP address.
    When I do get it to connect briefly, the reception is all over the map and it drops occasionally. I know it is not our wireless router(s) as we have hundreds if not thousands of other machines (Winows, Mac, and even a Linux machine or two) connecting to our network daily. I have seen this kind of problem numerous times on Windows laptops, but I've never seen a hiccup from my 12 inch PowerBook unless there was something wrong with hardware. (the PowerBook is working just fine now)
    I have tried setting the MacBook to only connect to preferred networks, creating a new location, adding the key to Keychain Access, enabling interference robustness, Reordering network ports in network configurations, (bluetooth and firewire are now at the bottom, but I don't want to put AirPort at the top because I want it to use the cable connection if one is present. Any ideas? The MacBook has been fully updated with the latest software updates, but other than that it's stock.
    I'm also getting many console messages like this: (network names and computer names removed for security reasons)
    Resources/airport: Error: WirelessAssociate2() = 88001006 for network *****
    May 24 09:00:26 ****-computer /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: (had password)

    May 24 09:00:42 ****-computer mDNSResponder: Repeated transitions for interface en1 (169.254.129.186); delaying packets by 5 seconds
    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    The settings on our routers are
    A: Not under my control, and even if they were, we're not going to flash settings on hundreds of access points to allow MacBooks to connect. We have no problems with any of our PowerPC macs, although we have seem some weirdness with MacBook pros, which have been fixed by creating a location (which I have done several time)
    B: Not causing persistent problems with ANY other machines. (including our intel iMac which has been connecting to the wireless network solidly since we got it) The Windows machines that exhibit this problem are generally fixed after re-adding our wep key to the preferred networks list. (which I have done on the MacBook, repeatedly) I have not installed boot camp on this machine to see if it exhibits the same behavior under Windows.
    C: I can connect the MacBook to an unsecured wireless network that we run for guests which does not permit access to any of our network resources. I had it connecting to our secured network briefly yesterday afternoon, by selecting "other..." from the wireless menu in Internet Connect, entering the password and saving it in the keychain. I then put the machine to sleep. When I came in this morning and woke it up it said "None of your trusted networks can be found would you like to join network "network that I joined yesterday afternoon" I said no, because it was already in the trusted networks list, put it to sleep, woke it up again, same thing. If I connect to the network when it shows up in the list, it does not ask me for a password, says it has connected, and gets a 169.x.x.x address. Refreshing DHCP lease does nothing, and I suspect that it is not really connected at all.
    D: I am suspecting this is a software/driver issue with the network card in the MacBook, or I got a bad unit. If it is software, I really hope it is fixed soon, as I simply cannot recommend this machine to students if it cannot connect to our secured wireless network. I would like to offer them something that is less than 2000 bucks right off the bat. It does not seem to correctly recognize that the network has a password, as such does not prompt for one. It gives feedback that it is connected, but it does not get an IP address. This has happened in other areas of campus, so it is not the wireless access point around my office. I'll probably call Apple Support this afternoon and see if they can give us any suggestions.
    Thanks.

  • I have an issue with network getting slow and does'nt download when i m connecting the iMac

    hi,
        last week i did buyed a new iMac the ME089B/A model and from day one i have an issue on the internet ..
    *when i m connecting trough wifi or either ethernet cable on automatic connection it is found but the dawnload is nearly strength comes to nothing even on the other devises that are connectied to the same modem..
    *as browsing can be worked by all devices but weak too
    its a strange thing too that i noticed that i still not sure if its normaly or not if i have the ethernet pugged and its on i can turn on even the wifi option and they displayed both connected
    what i v done is to update the system but still same problem and even tryed to contact the local internet supplyer to check the connection and its seems fine from there side ..as well the modem workes perfect with all the other devices when my wife or ethernet is not connected..

  • Photos with scale fx too blurry

    I 'm still having the same problem with my photos, I've tried many ways, from changing the settings of my sequence, to reinstaling FCP....
    I'm trying to show 8 seconds photos with a very slow and sutile zoom in. and it just plays back blurry and flickered.
    If the photo stands still looks fine, but as soon as I apply the scale fx, disaster happens.

    ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
    1. Disable overlays on the canvas

    DV footage requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

  • Problem syncing photos with Apple TV and iPod

    Ever since I connected my Apple TV I have had problems syncing photos with both my iPod and my Apple TV.
    The Apple TV gives me an error (no desciption) when I try to sync photos. The iPod gives me an error 39.
    iPhotos is working fine. I rebuilt the library using the rebuild library feature and this has not fixed the problem.
    I also rebuilt my iTunes library without success in fixing the problem.
    How does it sync? Is there some kind of syncing file I need to delete that may be corrupt?
    Does anyone have any ideas about what I could try?

    Just a suggestion,
    for a speedier and better informed reply, post your question in the AppleTV forums.

  • Shadows in photos with Rebel T2i

    Most of my indoor photos taken with my Rebel T2i have a shadow to the left of the subjects.   I took the same photo with my Powershot s120 and did not get a shadow and am so very frustrated.  I have tried with and without the hood and have ensured that the subject was not close to a wall.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  I have samples but I do not see a way to upload them to this site.

    Assuming you are using the flash, the lens, lens hood, a camera strap, your hand or fingers, etc. can all cause these sorts of things.
    Make sure the camera strap is out of the way.  While your right hand is unlikely to block the flash (because it's on the grip and pressing the shutter button) the left hand should be supporting the camera from below (hold the left hand with palm facing up, then "rest" the camera in your hand so that your fingers can control the zoom ring from below (an "under-hand" grip -- not an "over-hand" grip).  That'll keep that left hand away from the flash (it's also a steadier way to hold the camera and allows you to shoot at lower shutter speeds.)
    If you've got a lens-hood on your lens but are shooting with flash, you might want to remove that hood.  Long lenses can also be a problem with just the built-in pop-up flash (an external flash puts the light source higher and farther away from the lens so that shadows are less likely to be a problem.  
    Remember that a point & shot like your Powershot has a fairly tiny lens and it's physically short.  Your T2i's lens is comparitively much larger and depending on which lens you are using, does have the potential to create a shadow if the lens is large enough.
    One last thing... if you are using the camera in one of the automatic modes, then the camera will control the shutter speed when using flash.  If you are using a manual shooting mode, make sure you are selecting a shutter speed which is no faster than the camera's maximum "flash sync" speed.  For your camera, that is 1/200th of a second (so anything 1/200th sec... or slower will be ok.)  If you set a faster shutter speed then the shadow can be created by the internal camera shutter (at very high speeds the shutter only exposes a "slit" which sweeps across the imaging sensor to capture the shot... the "whole" sensor is never actually exposed at the same time.  This means only the part of the sensor exposed when the flash fired will get the benefit of the flash.  When you use 1/200th or slower, the camera is able to have the entire sensor exposed when the flash fires.
