Video lags like crazy when mirroring Macbook Pro to Apple TV
So, the Apple TV is wireless, and youtube works fine, as long as i use it within the Apple Tv. However, when I mirror my Macbook Pro to the Apple TV, and play a youtube video or any other video on my computer, it lags; it lags a LOT!!!
How do I fix this?
I've heard about configuring the internet speeds from 5ghz to 2.4ghz. Will this work? and if so, HOW to I configure these settings on my Macbook or Apple TV?
Please help! I got the Apple TV because we got rid of Foxtel, and I've got some movies on my hard drive, and TV shows, and I'd like to watch them, but the lag makes the movies and tv shows unwatchable!!
Please help!
Thanks in advance
Switching between 2.4 & 5 GHz may bring mixed blessings. 5 GHz will likely avoid most interference but being a higher frequency is more easily blocked by walls and other objects 2.4 GHz is able to pass straight through. It therefore depends on your location which frequency would be best for you.
Switching would be carried out in your router settings (assuming it supports both frequencies).
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.

Okay, use AirPlay if the Mac supports it or Home Sharing.

Apple Wireless Keyboard is lagging and disconnecting when using Macbook Pro via Bootcamp
Hey guys,
I am using my Macbook Pro (I think from 2009) with an external monitor and the apple wireless keyboard (connection via Bluetooth).
First when I set up Bootcamp everything worked fine. But now suddenly the keyboard is lagging (letters sometimes appear after a few seconds or get stuck and typed 20 times or something) and randomly completely disconnecting.
I already downloaded the newest drivers for Boot Camp 64bit from the apple website, but this didnt solve my problem.
I tried disconnecting the keyboard on mac and then reconnecting on the Windows 7 partition again. Also didn't work.
Of course I had to reconnect the keyboard when on the mac.
But it's not that it's not working. I'm using the keyboard via Bootcamp right now. It's just that it's randomly doing this...
Now I don't know what to do. Do some of you have the same issues or have any ideas that might help?Hey guys,

Leopard video lagging like crazy
So after installing Leopard on my upgraded G4 Cube (1.5GHz, 1.5GB RAM), I'm noticing insane video lag. Nothing moves smoothly; Dock icons jump around. I suspect that I need a newer video card that the factory-installed one. I'm mainly just posting to make sure that's the culprit; I want to make sure before dropping 50 dollars on one. So, is it the most likely culprit?
Yes, the OEM Rage 128 Pro is a mangy, lazy dog, totally incapable of dealing with Leopards graphics requirements.
You need a graphics card that supports OpenGL 2.0 (2.0 is best, OpenGL 1.5 at a minimum) and also supports Core Image.
http://www.cubeowner.com/forums/index.php?s=daedcc2fe8d71e9ad698af434292705f&sho wforum=44
The easiest to get into the Cube is a flashed Geforce 6200.
More of a challenge, but the fastest card a 2x AGP machine can use, is a Radeon 9800 Pro.

HT201343 Cannot Mirror MacBook Pro to Apple TV
I own a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 and a 3rd Generation Apple TV and both have the latest software updates. I can no longer see the AirPlay icon on my computer and I can no longer select that in the display options of settings. Any help on this one??
Hello there, tpeeler88.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some basic steps for troubleshooting your issue:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
Particularly of note:
Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears
Your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra will appear.
Make sure your Apple TV has the current software update installed.
Make sure you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" checked.
There are also Additional Information links with additional troubleshooting recommendations.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Can i mirror macbook pro to Apple TV with lid shut?
I've just bought apple tv and would like to use on an external tv which has apple tv running, however it seems i can only show the display on both machines, i would like to just use the tv and close the lid on the macbook, without it sleeping!
Is this possible?
ThanksHello 1moresolo,
One suggestion I would give you is to try pressing the key combination Control-Shift-Eject. This should turn off your MacBook Pro's display. Otherwise, try using the screen brightness keys to bring it all the way down.
On my MacBook Air, turning the brightness all the way down turns off the display.
Best of luck! -
When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?
I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly! -
I have a Canon Vixia HV30 and would like to know if I can transfer video from it to a new MacBook Pro? The camcorder has a HDV/DV output. Is that compatible with firewire?

Hello, I would like to use my Macbook pro computer to be able to use windows 7. There are references to using a backup disc that has an apple logo on it. I did not receive one when I bought this computer. Does anyone know where to purchase or get one of these discs? Thx
You need to have a backup disk drive before you ever make changes to your system; to the partitions and hard drives. Most users at a minimum use TimeMachine to backup their system to an external disk drive, which a WD MyBook Mac 2TB are about $99.

So firstly my older version of Skype just refused to connect. I tried everything and one of these was to upgrade to the lastest one which shows Skype 6.22 in my remove programs list.
Now it connects, but it takes up about 33% of my CPU and just locks up and lags and goes into not responding. It does run okay for a while and then just all of a sudden increases CPU usage something crazy. Restarting it makes it okay for a few minutes again and then same cycle.
How do I fix this?
Even when I try to downgrade to a later version it doesn't allow me into group chats even though single chats work. I can't leave the group or remove it to be added again. The other people say I am still showing as in there.
Is there anything that can fix this? In general Skype lags at times and is slow and seeming as if every now release is making it worse.
I am using Windows 8.1 latest update with the lastest update Skype.
Any suggestions here?This is on my work laptop. So I am kind of stuck with this piece of blergh they gave me...
The weird thing is the pc performs fine and everything else runs fine.
It is JUST Skype Desktop version that lags.
I have now been forced to use this Windows 8 Skype abomination.
I even tried 4 different versions and did all the temp file removal and Skype setup _old thing.
When I use old versions I just can't be added to group chats at all and when I use the latest deskptop one it lags like crazy. Sigh... How is a popular program like Skype THIS buggy? -

When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?
I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" , I thought is the same position like MBP15"
I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!
P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it -
