Problem with Airplay Mirroring: Image Cut Off
I have a mid 2011 Macbook Pro. I have installed Mountain Lion. I am able to activate Airplay Mirroring, however, part of the image is cut off. In other words, what is shown on my TV is only about 2/3 of the image that is shown on my macbook. It is not showing a black bar, or anything like that. It is more like the image is enlarged and doesn't fit on the TV screen.
I have searched the internet trying to find a solution. I haven't found anyone with this problem. So, my question is, do I have some settings wrong? Or is it a problem with the settings on my TV? If anyone has suggestions for troubleshooting this problem I would be grateful! I really want to use airplay!
Thanks!
OK, I am replying to my own question! My husband just found a thread solving this problem.

We changed the video settings on the Apple TV to 'auto', and restarted. It works great now!

Problem with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes
Hi,
I have a new iMac (purchased April 2013) running OS X Mountain Lion and am having issue with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes via Apple TV 3 running the latest update.
I have no problem streaming ITunes music (audio) to my Apple TV 3 via AirPlay.
However, when I enable Airplay Mirroring to ATV3 (either via System Prefs or via the Airplay Mirroring menulet icon at upper right of the screen), 2 things happen:
1. My iMac screen gets mirrored to my HDTV via ATV3 as expected (good)
2. Music (audio) stops playing via ATV3 (bad) - this is the key issue I am trying to resolve
When i disable Airplay Mirroring, I am able to again play music via ATV3.
Am I missing a setting somewhere to enable BOTH video and audio Airplay mirroring from my iMac via ATV3?
Thanks,
KevinI think I have found the reason for my problem...

Supported Macs
AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
My device is an older Model -
Problem with Airplay mirroring
Hi, i just downloaded and installed Mountain Lion on my mid-2011 Mac Mini. The airplay mirroring fonction work perfectly to my Apple Tv until i turn off the TV that is connected to the Mac Mini.. Then the screen on the apple tv become all distorted. Is this normal? How can i turn off or just change source on the TV that is connected to the Mac Mini and still be able to enjoy the airplay mirroring in an other room with my Apple Tv?

Problem with Airplay Mirroring - freezes screen on ATV whilst playing movies
Airplay Mirroring disfunctions when playing movies in Vuze, freezing screen on ATV, leaving sound only. I am using a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion. Has anybody experienced the same please?

Reason I ask is that I work from home and I've copied all of my DVD's into iTunes.
What I was hoping to achieve would be able to work on the laptop whilst the movies stream (not on the laptop panel) but directly to the ATV?
If you are saying that you have converted video to AppleTV compatible h264 (discussing converting commercial DVDs is prohibited by Apple's rules) and added it to iTunes, you can do what you want without using Airplay at all.
With both AppleTV and Mac on the same network, and Home Sharing enabled on both (for AppleTV 2/3) you can simply stream from the computer to AppleTV under AppleTV's computers icon. If you have a silver AppleTV1 you need to pair it to your iTunes library to achieve the same.
While your Mac does not support Airplay mirroring, iTunes has supported video Airplay to AppleTV 2/3 for a long time - it is different to mirroring and just pushes the stream rather than AppleTV pulling it.
Apple have blocked Airplay of DVD Player output via Airplay mirroring which is pretty poor.
For general desktop mirroring you might want to look at Airparrot:

Sky block Airplay from iOS, not sure if Apple allow blcoking of Airplay of certain things from the Mac in the same way as DVD player.

Problem with Android 4 StageWebView cutting off/covering up buttons on same View
So I'm trying to pull off something similar to the example here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Create_a_basic_web_browser_with_StageWebView-18850.html. Basically, a native browser view with a few Flex controls over top. Problem is, I've been running into a lot of display problems on Android 4 devices specifically. As far as I can tell, the StageWebView seems to be preventing the button overhead from being rendered in part or *at all* - as in, the button doesn't show up at all. It's just black.
See for yourselves. Here's a screenshot (the test page has a yellow background):
If I touch the screen or the web view, the button will (usually) abruptly show up above the page, where it's supposed to be:
Anyone else seen anything like this before? Any ideas what it could be?
Additional information for those who might want it:
- Project is being developed in Flash Builder 4.6 with the 4.6 SDK. Screenshots are from a Google Nexus 7 tablet (Android version 4.1.2, Adobe AIR version 3.4.0.254).
- the view in this case is an ActionScript class extending View with a skin. Here's the relevant code:
[SkinState("ready")]
[SkinState("loading")]
public class LogInWebView extends View
[SkinPart(required="false")]
public var previousButton:Button;
private var browser:StageWebView;
private var url:String;
private var isFirstPageLoaded:Boolean;
public function LogInWebView()
super();
isFirstPageLoaded = false;
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
url = value.url;
invalidateProperties();
// protected functions
override protected function createChildren():void {
super.createChildren();
if (url) {
browser = new StageWebView();
browser.viewPort = new Rectangle(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
browser.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFirstPageLoaded, false, 0, true);
browser.loadURL(url);
override protected function partAdded(partName:String, instance:Object):void {
super.partAdded(partName, instance);
if (instance === previousButton) {
previousButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPreviousButtonClick, false, 0, true);
if (browser) {
browser.viewPort = new Rectangle(0, previousButton.height, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight-previousButton.height);
override protected function commitProperties():void {
if (isFirstPageLoaded && currentState != "ready" && browser) {
// display StageWebView now that it's loaded
skin.currentState = "ready";
browser.stage = this.stage;
} else if (currentState != "loading") {
skin.currentState = "loading";
super.commitProperties();
// event listeners
private function onFirstPageLoaded(event:Event):void
browser.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFirstPageLoaded);
isFirstPageLoaded = true;
invalidateProperties();
- note: the button ONLY appears in state "ready" - it's not in state "loading."
Your thoughts?Hi,
Not sure what your specific problem is, but I have encountered no problems at all by going a stage further with my implementation - it is based on http://soenkerohde.com/?s=stagewebview but I extended it to update on dimension changes of the container.
EG:
[code]
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
updateBrowser();
protected function updateBrowser(event:ResizeEvent=null):void {
if(myStage && stageWebView) {
var offsets:Point = new Point();
offsets = this.localToGlobal(offsets);
stageWebView.viewPort = new Rectangle(offsets.x, offsets.y, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
[/code]
Seems to work for me, anyway. Hope it does for you too.

Was watching a movie with AirPlay mirroring on atv from iMac. Got a Skype call. Could not hear caller until I unplugged atv. Turned off AirPlay on both atv and iMac. Could not hear Skype caller until I turned off atv. What else could I have done?
I checked and found that the router did not have the latest firmware. It does now. The issue is still there. I did a little research and found that the model number of my Apple TV (MC572LL/A) shows that it is a 2G version which uses the A4 chip. The latest version uses the A5 chip and is 1080 capable. Both are supposed to be capable of using type "N" routers. I don't think that should be an issue but I wonder if later updates may have introduced some issues in the 2G version.
I am going to try changing the "N" channel also- just to see if that makes any difference. The istumbler app does not show any "N" networks in my area so it is defaulting to 149. I will note that even 1 foot away from the router I only get 75-85% for signal. I would expect it to be 100% since it is so close. I am also seeing noise go up from typically 13% to 21% when it is on channel 3 and that close. I will play change locations and channels and see if there is any improvement. -
Anybody else having problems with airplay with ios 5.1 on iphone 4s
So i bought an iphone 4s a few months back and it came with ios 5, i then tryed it with my airplay speakers and they kept cutting out so i googles about it and found there was a known problem with iphone 4s and airplay speakers.
ios 5.0.1 then came out a few weeks later and the problem seemed to be fixed and i was happy as they worked fine after that
ios 5.1 then came out so i updated my 4s to this and started playing music through airplay and they started to cut out again, i turned them off and on and it happened again, then i reset them to my wifi router and the problem still occured
Is anybody else having this problem with airplay on there iphone 4s running ios 5.1?
If so, apple really need to sort this out! I bought my iphone with high expectations and to pay all that money for it not to work is not goodTry resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider.

Airplay mirroring keeps cutting out when watching apple tv from a macbook pro
Recently I have had difficulties watching any itunes movies or downloaded shows on my tv using apple tv. While watching the movie or show on my tv, airplay mirroring will shut off without warning and the movie continues playing on my macbook but in order to start watching on my tv again, I have to reconnect to airplay mirroring (which sometimes works only to shut off again several minutes later, or I get an error for airplay). I have an OS X version 10.8.5. and my apple tv devise is less than a year old. I never had this problem before with my apple tv. Any ideas about what might be wrong, or what I can do to fix this?
Try changing your energy saver settings. Make sure the macbook is plugged in and change both display and computer sleep to never. When your display goes to sleep airplay will shut off. I don't watch a lot of tv on airplay from my mac, but this works for when I'm streaming radio or music. I suggest getting a cheap iPod touch (with airplay) on craigslist if you don't have an iPhone. I've seen them as low as $30. Then get the Air Video app ($3) and the Remote app (free). These two apps take care of all of my tv/movie watching needs.
If your appleTV is too far from your wireless router then you will have trouble using any of these features. Try purchasing an extra long (100') cat5 cable from monoprice.com and moving your router to a more central area of your house. You can even put a second router in your home using this cat5 and get great internet connection everywhere! -
I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6
Hello,
I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6 of 1920x1080 60p footage.
I transcoded MTS files shot on a Sony NEX FS100 into Apple Pro Res mov files but the
playback stutters in Final Cut and QTime making it impossible to edit. Is this because the files
are just so big the computer is having a problem processing them? If so what should I edit in to preserve the
best quality?
I am Running Mac OSX 10.6.8
2x2.4 Ghz Quad Core Intel
32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
Admittedly my FCUT is out of date, I intend to up to X when I finish off an ongoing project.
Thanks LuciYou might consider running diskwarrior on your drive (alsoft.com). And run diskutility, repair disk. A corruption of the drive could cause problems. Also, drive speed starts to fall sharply as the drive gets full. Make sure you have a minimum of 10% free space on the drive. You might also get a utility to check the speed of the drive. I think Aja has one.
Also, do you have anything else connected to the firewire bus? If so, try disconnecting it. You might also try disconnecting ethernet and turning off your airport. Resetting your fcp preferences couldn't hurt.

Potential Problems with Airplay and Mountain Lion
Hey Everyone,
I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I tried to use Airplay with our Macbook Pros. Airplay would work with all of the iOS Devices, but when it came to using with the MBP, it would either show a black screen, or a frozen image of my screen. I called AppleCare, and the rep told me it was a problem with the AppleTV, so I returned it and bought a new one, and it did the same thing. I found out that the problem was occuring because of the type of router I was using. I have a dualband router, and I set everything on one band of the router. I decided to try to place the laptops on a different band, and that's all it took. My airplay now works flawlessly.
So, if you're having a problem with airplay, and you have a dualband router, try placing your computer & iOS devices on the opposite band, and it should work perfectly.
Hope this helps.

Apple TV having problems with Airplay
Hi
I'm having problems with Airplay on my Apple TV. It will play A video once then errors out. Wifi has full strength and software is up to date. i have tried forgetting the wifi and reconnecting. This will fix the problem for a moment and then it errors out again. Netflix and everything else seems to be working fine just airplay keeps kicking me out. Does anyone have any suggestions?
ThanksHi mrshoughton,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your Apple TV. If you continue to have issues with Airplay performance from your device/computer to your Apple TV, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful. In particular, if you are using Airplay from iTunes on a computer, you may want to rule out any WiFi issues by temporarily connecting your computer and your Apple TV directly to your router via Ethernet, as noted in the second article below:

Problem with displaying BLOB images on JSP page using a servlet
hi. I have a big problem with displaying BLOB images using JSP. I have a servlet that connects to the oracle database, gets a BLOB image , reads it, and then displays it using a BinaryStream. The problem is , this works only when i directly call that servlet, that is http://localhost:8080/ImageServlet. It doesn't work when i try to use that servlet to display my image on my JSP page (my JSP page displays only a broken-image icon ) I tried several coding approaches with my servlet (used both Blob and BLOB objects), and they work just fine as long as i display images explicitly using only the servlet.
Here's what i use : ORACLE 10g XE , Eclipse 3.1.2, Tomcat 5.5.16 , JDK 1.5
here is one of my image servlet's working versions (the essential part of it) :
BLOB blob=null;
rset=st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM IMAGES WHERE ID=1");
while (rset.next())
blob=((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB(2);
response.reset();
response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=42.jpeg");
ServletOutputStream ostr=response.getOutputStream();
InputStream istr=blob.getBinaryStream(1L);
int size=blob.getBufferSize();
int len=-1;
byte[] buff = new byte[size];
while ((len=istr.read( buff ))!=-1 ) {
ostr.write(buff,0,len);
response.flushBuffer();
ostr.close(); and my JSP page code :
<img src="/ImageServlet" border="0" > If you could just tell me what i'm doing wrong here , or if you could show me your own solutions to that problem , i would be very greatful ,cos i'm realy stuck here , and i'm rather pressed for time too. Hope someone can help.I turns out that it wasn't that big of a problem after all. All i had to do was to take the above code and place it into another JSP page instead of into a servlet like i did before. Then i just used that page as a source for my IMG tag in my first JSP. It works perfectly well. Why this doesn't work for servlets i still don't know, but it's not a problem form me anymore . Ofcourse if someone knows the answer , go ahead and write. I would still appriceatte it.
here's the magic tag : <img src="ImageJSP.jsp" border="0" > enjoy : ) -
DW CS3 problem with PNG-8 images in Design View?
DW CS3 (build 3481) on XP seems to have problems with PNG-8 images, specifically trying to display them in design view.
I had a very simple image that was able to be exported by Fireworks CS4 as PNG-8 using 4 colors (no transparency) for a tiny file size under 250 bytes.
DW could not display it at all, or even recognize it, reporting it was 0 x 0 in size. I published the page anyway, and it looked fine in the browser.
I upped the number of colors to 32, and DW could then display it in design view in the page I was working on.
I'm still having problems with other PNG-8 images. The attached file "temp.jpg" is a screenshot showing part of the design view in DW.
The smaller image on the left of the banner is "58_certificate_of_discharge.png" (attached), and the larger image below is used as the background of the DIV containing the form,"compassbk.png" (also attached).
These images all look fine in the browser, but terrible in DW.
I'm stumped as to why.
Thanks in advance.According to a different discussion, the images that are stuck as "Queued" are showing a bug in the virus scanning on the forums.
Now trying the recommended 'camera icon' method...
Looks like it worked.
Now compare what it looks like in DW CS3 in the design view:
It's a 16 color PNG-8 made in Fireworks CS4 with no transparency, size is 113 x 58, ending up at 1.71K.
If this is a repeatable problem in CS3, is there any hope of it being resolved, or am I stuck with upgrading to CS4 as my only option (assuming it's fixed in CS4)?

Apple TV causing problems with Airplay from Airport Express?
I am having a problem with Airplay on my home network. I have two Airplay devices - Apple TV and an Airprot Express. I soon as both of these devices are on my wireless network Airplay starts to create all kinds of errors, delays, inability to connect and ultimately both AP devices crash.
The AE is connected to the existing network and is only being used as an airplay device to send music to a set of speakers.
I have looked at the knowledge base & I tried all of the following (plus every conceivable combination):
Restored both the Apple TV & AE to factory settings.
Checked both are on independent IPs.
Checked all the settings on my router.
Restarted my router.
Changed the channel on my router (it's worth mentioning here that both devices are on a 5GHz connection).
It's also worth noting that when I did a factory reset of everything and set the ATV up on an ethernet connection everything worked swimmingly until I unplugged the ethernet cable and connected the device to the wireless network.
Both work independently (i.e. when the other is not connected to the wireless network), but need restarting if the two have been run at the same time.
So - in a nut shell - it appears to me that the two devices are interfering with each other - but how?!
Are any geniuses out there able to help?
Thanks in advance.Thanks Winston. I put the APE onto the 2.4 connection. This didnt solve this issue, but then with the two devices on the different connections I changed the channels a few times and eventually I found a coblination that works! I now have a problem where the ATV doesn't wake up to AirPlay, but I feel this is most likely a separate issue.
