Sierra + apple tv

Hi all

I've just updated to Sierra, and I can't use the airplay feature. Icon is still in place, I tried to mirror the screen and the Office expanded. iMac connects to Apple Tv, the icon turns blue, but nothing appears on television. It works perfectly with my iPhone. So, my guess is that Sierra is at fault.

Already rebooted device and everything is up-to-date.

iMac 27 "5 k

Apple TV 3rd generation

Can anyone help?

Thank you

Hello there JFsimard!

Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you experience problems connecting to your iMac to your Apple TV for Airplay. I know how important it is Airplay works correctly. Reboot and ensuring that the operating system is up to date are a huge step to start. Read this article on how use airplay to display video from your Mac to a TV high definition. More precisely:

If you do not see the AirPlay icon , make sure that your Apple TV is awake and that it meets the system requirements.

If you do not see your Apple TV in the AirPlay menu, make sure that your Mac and Apple TV comply with the system requirementsand your software from the Apple TV is updated. Also check your firewall settings:

  1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click the Firewall tab.
  2. Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
  3. Click Firewall Options.
  4. Deselect the option "block all incoming connections".
  5. Select the option "automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections.

If your office does not look great on your HDTV, high-definition TV could apply image quality improvements that are not the best for the computer images. Check the manual of your HDTV for more information on how to adjust your HDTV settings for use with a computer. Your HD TV could offer a more appropriate display mode, such as the computer or game mode mode. Also try adjusting the HDTV settings like sharpness, retail building and noise reduction.

If you mirror your screen and the image correspond to your HDTV screen, you can adjust the size of the Office for the best image. Click the AirPlay icon, and then select an option under "game size desk to." If you fit to desktop size to your Apple TV, the image fills the screen HDTV but will not look as good on your Mac screen. Learn more about overscan and underscan and what you can do about it.

If AirPlay disconnects itself, your wireless network can be too busy or have too many wireless interference to maintain the connection of the antenna. Learn how to solve the problems of Wi-Fi connectivity. The manual of your router network may have additional suggestions for maintaining a strong and fast connection with your devices.

Although these steps do not speak there is not a picture, here are some measures that could help to connect.

Have a great day!

  • Unlock Mac Pro with Apple Watch

    I just downloaded the new OS of Sierra and have the newest OS on my iPhone and watch.  I tried to set up to where I can unlock my Mac with my watch, but can't seem to understand. Everything I read said I should check the box that says allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac. in respect of the security and confidentiality under general. Only problem is that I can't find such a thing anywhere... Any suggestion would be great.

    You're supposed to open preferences system (on your MacBook), go to Security & Privacy and then check the box that says "allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac". And it has not worked for you?

    Is your Apple Watch under the same Apple ID as your MacBook? If not, this is why it does not work. Otherwise... I don't really know.

    Under El Capitan, I recently spent some time to reorganize manually about 260 faces in a seemingly random way in order of last name. Now under the Sierra Apple has decided to display them in the order first name without the possibility of manual reorganization which is useless and irritating. Any suggestions on how can I change the order?

    I have been using openVPN on the iPhone for a long time with 8 and 9 of iOS iOS. There is no problem. Today I updated the phone to iOS 10. After that the openVPN app no longer works.

  • PPTP VPN does not work on Iphone Personal Hotspot

    Hello

I was aware of the PPTP client are disabled in the iOS, but has actually blocked PPTP are not used by devices that connect to the Personal Hotspot?

  • Not ios10 blocking VPN PPTP connections through personal hotspot?

    I use an iPhone 6 + and was upgraded to ios10, two days ago.

    While I don't have a configuration of the VPN connection on the phone, I connect my computer laptop personal hotspot of the iPhone to use internet and sometimes connect to a VPN.

    Before my upgrade to ios10, my laptop could still connect to the VPN while connected to the hotspot from my iPhone.

    After that I updated to ios10, my laptop does not connect to the VPN I connect to.

    I see reports that Apple has abandoned the use of the connection for PPTP VPN connections on ios10.

    But most of the people having problems seem to be people who connect to their phones directly to the VPN in the iPhone settings.

    In my case, my phone is just acting under the guidance of the internet on my laptop but it seems that it does not obstruct my laptop to connect to a pptp even connection if that should have no impact on the phone itself.

    I went down to ios9 and my laptop can connect again to the VPN.

    But now my Apple Watch does not work with my phone because I improved the watch to os3.

    Any ideas if there is a work around for the connection for pptp connections using the hotspon on ios10?

    Hey there Scotchman2926,

    I understand that you are experiencing some problems with Apple music on Sierra. I have a few suggestions to help you solve this problem. First of all, if you are unable to access the iTunes Store as well as music from Apple, use the information in this article to help resolve this problem:

    If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support

    If this does not resolve the problem, you might try signing out of your Apple ID in iTunes and then connect again.

    Thanks to be come to the communities of Apple Support and let us know how it goes.

  • Fixing of Apple Mail problem - Sierra

    Since the update for Sierra, some attachments are not crossing in my emails. I get the icon trombone of attachment in the list for e-mail & in the header of the document, but I can't open, save or view the quicktime or mp3 files (even though when I open the same email in Outlook, I can access the spare).

    This is happening only since I've updated for Sierra.

    Sierra sometimes omits the last accessory and where there is a single attachment is it still missing.

    It seems to fail if the account is configured for IMAP access. POP access is not the problem. Better send Apple. Go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and em let know.

  • Flashing message in Apple Mail after upgrade of Sierra

    I upgraded my Macbook Air recently to macOS Sierra and since then my archived messages in the preview pane of Mail from Apple will begin to Flash when you view them. After 15 years, or so they stop flashing. I need to wait until the flashing stops before I can reply to or forward the message. Or I need to first open the message itself.

    Anyone aware of this problem? What can I do about it? I must say that I have about 4 500 messages stored in the archives. But before the upgrade, I had much more messages stored in the archives and not had this problem.

  • Apple dropped support of Windows 8 in macOS Sierra?

    So I upgraded my MacBook to macOS Sierra and I noticed something different in the BootCamp Assistant.

    As the official macOS page Sierra said, the new BootCamp installations require Windows 8 and 10.

    But when I opened the BootCamp Assistant, he made only 10 Windows or USB later.
