Poor resolution in AirPlay with ATV2?

When using AirPlay to view my MacBook Air (purchased earlier this year), I notice that the screen resolution isn't very good.
Probably a dumb question but because the ATV2 is 720p and the MBAir can output 1080p, is that why I'm seeing the grainy, less smooth computer desktop on my TV?
Mirroring video/audio seems to work fine but when I mirror my desktop is when I notice the poorer quality resolution.

Thanks. I did that already and that's my default setting. It's not fixing the problem. My laptop has direct line of sight to AppleTV and the wifi, too.

I have a desktop iMac,within a yr old, I had iPhoto 9,downloaded to iPhoto 11, now lost my export to Shutterfly link, & looks like all my photos went to thumbnails, with poor resolution...help!!

I have a desktop iMac OSX 10.6.8, had iPhoto 9 & downloading software update to iPhoto 11, (9.1.5??) I can't find the way to reset up the "Export to Shutterfly mode" and it looks like all my previous photos went to a thumbnail size...with now poor resolution. If I would have know my pictures were going to turn into poor quality pictures, I never would have done the software update. Need a real person to talk to. This complicated method is not user friendly.

Screen turns black and returns with an orange tinted window with poor resolution

Im running on a Presario S6700NX. Windows-xp It has been running proper until about two weeks ago. Nothing has been added or taken from the system. However, lately I've been getting a black screen that last several seconds and when my window reappears however, It's with an orange tint and with very poor resolution. Several seconds later my window reappears with the proper resolution. This happens whether I'm running an application or not and it's continuous. I've searched microsoft knowledge base and I've gotten no response it's as if it's never happened to anyone else. So now I'm trying HP Forum in the hopes that someone out there may have encountered a similar problem or has heard of a simular situation. This is a cry for HELP. Please if anyone out there can help me it would be deeply appreciated. I want to give my thank you beforehand and hope for a response.

@jck & @awaller well not literally every other time, it occurs randomly. sometimes I can work for like an hour or as long as I want and nothing happens, sometimes after 5 minutes *boom* the screen goes black, except of one column with random pixels, i tried to switch to a different console with ctrl+alt+(F1-F6) but it did not work...
do you know where I have to look for errors? I also tried to reinstall the drivers, but it did not help..
I see something like this on my T420 Thinkpad sometimes. It turns out the backlight is just going out. I'm reluctant to say it's a kernel issue and not hardware - I have vague memories of it happening on Windows 7 as well, but that was years ago ...
It happens on Arch and Debian definitely, and the following fix works on both for me:
Opening a terminal (which I have bound to a key) and running "xset dpms force off", then moving the mouse or something to wake the display again brings it back to light.
Try that the next time it happens and see if it helps. Will at least confirm whether it's the same issue as me or not.

Poor resolution connecting my MBP to TV via HDMI. visable vertical lines.

hey!
so I've been googeling around for awhile and it seems A LOT of people have this issue. but I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Story goes... connecting the MBP to the TV via DVI to HDMI gives poor resolution. the weird thing is this only happens every other time. I've tried it on my macbook pro (2007) and another macbook (2010) and it has the same issue with both (but only sometimes). any thoughts?
thanks!
Grant

To Csound's good advice, let me just add that there may be a specific HDMI port on the TV that you must use if you're going to send audio to the TV separately. This should also be explained in the TV's manual.

Poor resolution after importing to iMovie 10

I've just upgraded to iMovie 10 and Mavericks from 9 and my old clips are now displaying with what appears to be a poor resolution. When I watch them in 9 they look much richer.....thoughts?

i am having the same issue. tried "adjust colors" in the video FX and the preview looked great, but application of the effect left the clip unchanged.
did you get any help from another source (since this seems to be without responses)?

Poor resolution on iPhoto book

I just ordered the large softbound iPhoto Book from Apple and am very disappointed with the poor resolution of the photos. My original files were 1280x960. Is there any way to find out if my photos are being uploaded at the highest possible res? I've read other posts about changing preferences, but haven't been able to figure out how to do that at my end.
Thanks!

Emily:
The easiest way I've found to modify preference files is with Pref Setter. Once you've located and opened the iPhoto preference file do a search for "dpi". Then change the values for the Keys BookTargetImageDIP, BookTargetSmallImageDIP and BookTargetMediumImageDIP to 300. Save and close Pref Setter. That's it.
It's interesting that you found the large book images to be poor. There was another user that received large books from both the east and west coasts. He found the east coast book to be of lower image resolution (greater halftone pattern) than that from the west coast. All of my large size books have come from the west coast and have been very good, with or without the resolution change in the preference file. Not so with the medium size books. There were patterned no matter what resolution was set in the preferences.
Good luck.

E4200 Not Working with ATV2 when wired

I have an E4200 router & am trying to get it to work with ATV2 through HomeSharing & iTunes. It works fine when my PC is wireless & the ATV2 is wireless. BUT, when the ATV2 is wired via ethernet & the PC is wireless -- nothing!
PC is Win 7 64 - SP1
ATV2 is 4.4.3 (3323) and the router is:
E4200 is 1.0.03 build 14
Help!!!!!

Check the settings on the APTV2 for Airplay . The airplay symbol appears at the bottom right in iTunes and turn the APTV2 on...
You can try the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Poor resolution of dektop after nvidia driver update

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion Media center 8020n PC connected to HP w1907 monitor with optimum resolution of 1440X900 at 60 hz.
The display adapter is Nvidia GE force 7350 LE. It has Windows vista home premium with Intel Core 2 processor.
I recently updated the video driver from nvidia website version 266.58. Right after the download at the first bootup there was a big difference in the screen resolution. The picture is not crisp and sharp like it was before the update.
I have tried to uninstall the new driver, unnstall the old driver and restart in safe mode with the antivirus off but it still gives the same poor resolution with streched out picture.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Look here for a monitor driver update. Install the driver and reboot. Then check the monitor type in the Device Manager. Now does it indicate the HP 1907 monitor?

PBS viewing poor resolution!

PBS viewing is very poor resolution. AppleTV connected via ethernet. Tested Internet speed while viewing AppleTV 18.16 MB/sec. which tells me it is PBS service. I have also noticed more and more of this with NetFlix

Power cycle the router and ATV.
If the issue persists, and it appears to be PBS, contact PBS.

How do i know if my macbook can use airplay with apple tv?

how do i know if my macbook can use airplay with apple tv?

AirPlay Mirroring needs an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your computer supports AirPlay Mirroring. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion

Can I use airplay with lion

Is it possible to use airplay with lion? I would like to display the content of my Macbook on my HDTV via Apple TV. Thank you!

Sadly, only music and videos saved in itunes can be streamed to the appletv. Hopefully this will change soon!

No AirPlay on Apple TV 2G with iPad 1G & iPhone 3G | AirPlay with iTunes 10.3.1 works

Hey there, I have an Apple TV 2G and I wanted to start using AirPlay with my iPad 1G iOS 4.2.1 and iPhone 3G iOS 4.2.1 but I don't see the button for connecting with my Apple TV as shown in the manuals.
I am using a Router (A) to connect to the internet and have a WiFi Router TP-Link TL-WR841ND (B) that is linked to the Router (A) by LAN. I am using a DHCP Server on both Routers, SSID is not broadcasting (B) and MAC Filter is off (B).
iPhone and iPad are connected to (B) by using a static IP and have an static DNS and Gateway using the IP from (A). So all devices are connected in the same network by using (B).
iTunes connect probably with Apple TV 2.
OK, I hope to get some advices now that will help.
Cheers, PaTim

You'll need a minimum of an iPhone 3GS for Airplay on a phone, the iPad will need iOS 4.3 at least for 3rd party apps and websites to work.
I'd update all your software and try again.

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7. From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful. According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it). Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen. This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D.
As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well. I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine. Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen. It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen... If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

I have an Iphone 4S on ios7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver from Pioneer (VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router. I no longer get the airplay icon on my iphone? Any suggestions?

I have an iphone 4S on ios 7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver (Pioneer VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router and the roouter is working fine with the five elements on the network. Prior to the upgrade to 7.0.3 and the router upgrade the airplay feature working fine and i was able to consistently use airplay to stream music th the AV receiver. After the upgrades the airplay icon no longer appears on my iphone or on my macbook running itunes. Any suggestion on how to trouble shoot the missing airplay icon is much appreciated.

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

Can AirPort express be used for AirPlay with my home stereo, and to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via ethernet, simultaneously?

I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to. I need it for two things. The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo. The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port. I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
Thanks!

The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.
