Why doesn't my MacBook Air play videos smoothly even through Apple TV 3rd gen and 8MBPS connection?

Mine is a new MacBook Air and new Apple TV 3rd Gen, however whenever I try to play videos from my Mac Air, the videos are choppy. My internet connection is 8MBPS and both my devices connect on the Ethernet, not cabled. Please help as the Apple TV doesnt play Youtube videos either.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • Why doesn't my MacBook air (bought in Sweden) keyboard look like the ones in USA?

    Hello!
    I'm really curious about this. Why does my new MacBook Air bought 2013 in Sweden have different keyboard from the MacBook air keyboard in USA?

    The American version
    and this is how my keyboard looks
    Thank.

  • Why doesn't my macbook air recognise .3gp files?

    A friend gave me a burned disk with iphone video files in .3gp format that the external disk drive for my Macbook Air doesn't seem to recognise - it simply spits the disk out. I put the disk into my PC and it reads it - shows the icons for the files (but can't open them because it doesn't have the right software.). What software do I need to read these files on the MAcbook Air?

    I found a list but have not used them nor do I know anything bout them: http://en.softonic.com/s/3gp-player:mac.  Use common sense when deciding which one to download, and if you chose to download one, do so at your own risk.

  • Why doesn't my Macbook Air print with my HP desk jet 1000 J110 series printer?

    I have tried to print pictures and documents on Pages from my MacBook Air with my HP deskjet 1000 J110 series printer but it doesn't happen. The printer connects all right and doesn't show a problem whilst I am choosing the format I want my document/picture to be printed but after I click Print, a little icon representing the printer pops up in the bottom but after a second or two, it disapppears leaving me with no printouts. Why is it happening and what are the solutions?

  • Why doesn't my macbook air connect with Hitachi projector

    Hello redffox,
    Congratulations on your new MacBook Air!  I found an article with steps you can take to troubleshoot issues with external displays like your projector.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display.  I recommend reviewing the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the following article:

  • When I read my roadrunner mail on my iMac, why doesn't my Macbook Air know I read it?

    I recently purchased a Macbook Air and I have an iMac desktop, both running Mavericks.  How can I get my Macbook Air to realize that I've already read my e-mails on the desktop?

    Is Roadrunner a POP email server? You require an iMap server for this function to work, a mail server such as iCloud and Gmail among others.
    Check with Roadrunner if iMap is available.

  • Why doesn't my MacBook Air see a connected printer on the wireless network?

    For some reason my MacBook has come up with a case of the stupids.  I have been able to print out to my Canon printer before, but now it doesn't see it.  The printer is on our wireless network and can be seen by our iPad, and iMacs but doesn't appear on the MBAir.  I have reinstalled the drivers, rebooted the system and when I go to the Preferences to look at the Printers/Scanners there is nothing there.  Pressing the + button comes up with a screen with nothing in the default area.  The Air is connected to the wireless network and operates fine with the internet and other operations.
    What can I do to fix this?

    Hello gregfrommi,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with printing in Yosemite. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
    Check the network
    Open Network Diagnostics, then follow the instructions to make sure you’re connected to the network.
    If you’re using a Wi-Fi network and there are multiple Wi-Fi networks available, your Mac and the printer might be on different networks. Open the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar, then try choosing a different network. 
    To see if the printer you want to use is on the same network as your Mac, open Printers & Scanners preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners), then click Add . If the printer doesn’t appear in the list of available printers, your Mac might be on a different network. 
    If you know the printer’s IP address (for example, 192.168.1.100), you can try adding it as an IP printer. For more information, see Add or remove a printer. 
    If your printer is connected to a Time Capsule or AirPort base station, disconnect your printer from the Time Capsule or base station, then reconnect it. 
    Make sure you have the latest software
    Make sure you have the correct version of your printer’s software (also called its printer driver).
    If you’re using a printer that another user is sharing, make sure you’re both using the same version of the printer software. To find out which version you’re using, open Printers & Scanners preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners). Select the printer in Printers & Scanners preferences, click Options & Supplies, then click General. Note the driver version. 
    If you’re using a network printer or a printer attached to your Mac, make sure you have the latest version of the software for the printer. If you still have problems, try different printer software for your printer. 
    If you’re using an AirPrint-enabled printer, you can check with the manufacturer to see if there’s a firmware update for your printer model. 
    Replace a corrupted printer queue window
    If none of the previous solutions work, the printer’s queue may be corrupted. Open Printers & Scanners preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Printer & Scanner preferences), then delete and set up your printer again. 
    If you still can’t print, reset the printing system. 
    Print documents
    Reset the printing system
    Add or remove a printer

  • Why doesn't my Macbook Air have all the 64Gb available ?

    I have nothing downloaded directly to my laptop and there is only 45Gb available on my 64Gb Macbook. What are they being used on and how do i get them back ?

    To find out, where you storage capacity is being used, you can use the following free applications:
    DiskInventory X
    OmniDiskSweeper
    JDisk Report
    GrandPerspective
    I would not call that unusual.  You have a recovery, partition, a main partition with all of OS X, all of iLife, sleep file space, swap file space etc...

  • Why doesn't my MacBook Air read a 64GB Thumbdrive?

    I have the 1.4 GHz processor with 2GB of memory. Athough my Air shows the structure of the large drive, it will not execute a document or open a file.

    Hi Bob,
    Sounds like the drive's hardware isn't functioning correctly with Apple. You can try to copy all files to a Windows desktop and reformat the drive in OS X and see if that helps...
    Good luck!
