Problems with mirror play to Apple TV from macbook air

Hi,
I'm having difficulty's streaming from my macbook air to the tv screen via the apple tv.
The Apple TV is conected to the Internet via wifi and it plays rented movies or streaming youtube fine but if i try to watch a movie from my laptop (stream of the net ) and watch it on the tv then it wont work properly , it has excessive lag and cuts out or wont connect to my laptop at all . it wont show the desk top intermittent either and massive delays when it does.
i think it may have something to do with an update or something ? I have mavericks on the air and everything is updated , i have 2 apple tvs and 1 is connected through Ethernet and it seems ok I've also tried to do the same through my imac with parrot but its the same problems even tho its connected directly to the router.
Thanks in advance
stu

The Imac has the same problem with playing to the lounge room atv but no where near as bad, ( can actually watch a movie) it just cuts in and out a little but when you watch it on the imac screen its playing fine.
my modem is a netgear dual band and i have tryed both bands and still has the problem i also have a range extender and its bad through that but when I originally purchased the atv it worked fine with it.
I don't watch a lot of movies mainly stream music through the iphone on it and this is why im thinking that an update may have affected it cause it used to work fine but i also did purchase the netgear router and im thinking it may also could be a problem but what i cant understand is the problem is only with airplay or parrot depending on laptop or desk top and no real problems with the iphone streaming movies or the stream ok through itunes apart from some movies don't have sound in itunes .
When you say I can adjust the router could you tell me what to adjust or how ?
Thanks for your help

  • VGA beamer problems with Windows 7 64-bit enterprise on MacBook Air 2012

    For us the following problem is solved now! It might help other people with the same problems.
    At our institute we have two new MacBook Airs 5.2 (2012) running Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise under Boot Camp.
    They both cannot used for Windows-presentations with VGA beamers by using the mini-DP-to-VGA adapter (with Mac OS X 10.7 it just works fine).  First of all, the suggestions from Apple phone support were not of any help at all (try PRAM reset, try SMC reset, ...). We tried an external USB-3.0-graphics adapter made by SUNIX (it failed, probably since Apple blocks other graphic cards in the EFI).
    Then we saw the following article, which describes the same problems with a Dell XPS, but also using the Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter:
    http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=reviews/dell-xp-mini-displayport-projector-fi x
    We finally bought a "Mini-DisplayPort to VGA Active Video Adapter" from StarTech.com (product ID: MDP2VGAW) ...
    AND IT WORKS!
    Quintessence: Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter is too crappy for the (probably always behind) Windows.

    Hello again,
    After speaking to an Apple Genius, it seems the solution was to update the firmware for the Cinema Display. Since I have done this, the monitor appears to behave better.

  • Problems with OS X 10.8.5 on MacBook Air

    I've seen many people having problems when updating to Mountain Lion 10.8.5, including using FaceTime camera in applications as Skype. I saw that Apple is aware of this problem, but when are they going to fix it?
    I've also had some problems with Facebook in Safari. Before updating, I could just click on Safari/Facebook and it would log in automatically. Now, I have to log in every five minutes, even if I'm using it... anyone else had this problem?

    Does this occur with the power adapter connected, disconnected, or both?
    If you can't correlate it with the power adapter have your MacBook Pro evaluated by Apple or an authorized Apple Service Provider. Failing batteries have been known to swell and create pressure underneath the trackpad, causing erratic mouse behavior.
    The symptoms you describe have not been described as resulting from any particular software update. If a swollen battery is the reason for the problem it is likely to have been coincidental.

  • Problem with Adobe Reader vs Acrobat on my Macbook Air

    A question that is addressed in the forum but the answers (so far) have not worked for me: I just switched to a Macbook Air (from a standard Macbook Pro) and suddenly cannot open PDF files from the internet in Adobe Reader. Instead, I am instructed to sign the user agreement for Adobe Acrobat, which I have never actually purchased and do not have installed on my computer. Per suggestions from earlier threads and from the Adobe help site, I have attempted these steps:
    In the Finder, select a PDF, and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the arrow next to Open With to expose the product menu.
    Choose either Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader from the application menu.
    It seems simple enough, but when I open a PDF and click on File, there is no "Get info" option. Nor when I double click on the document itself, is there a "get info" option. The closest thing I see is "properties" which does not take me to the desired dialogue box. So my question is, how to I find "get info," which will presumably take me to the solution?

    Hello,
    Please try to download the new installer from this location and see if that works -Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

  • I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S.

    I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.  

    Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller?  Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones.  The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
    Try these steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
    4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
    5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

  • Problem with shares on Windows 2003R2 server from a Windows 8.1 PC

    I'm having problem with shares on Windows 2003R2 server from a Windows 8.1 PC.  It times out when I try to copy a file from my PC to the server and I get an error message saying "There is a problem accessing network drive W:\. Make sure you are
    connected to the network and try again."
    I have no problem copying files from the server to the PC.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    How about your problem now? Have you test other machine also installed Windows 8.1? Did they have this problem?
    To diagnose this problem, firstly, please check Windows 2003R2 firewall settings, also can disable firewall temporarilly for test.
    Secondly, try to use Network Monitor to capture network communication package for test.

  • Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....

    Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...

    I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only.  I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive. 
    The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful.  I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard.  I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick. 
    I do not have another installation, so that is not an option.  I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way.  It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort.  Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson

  • My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

    My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

    I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
    The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.
