I can't watch the airplay for HDTV icon mirrored on MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid 2010)
I can view the icon airplay on MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid 2010) for HDTV (trying to film on TV laptop project).
Need help please, I checked my network on Apple TV, updated and verified system preferences and downloaded the demo of AirParrot2.app (this project DID on tv via AirParrot but the movie was uneven and deferred on the tv then sound was not lined up).
Hi csaszardesign,
Please visit Apple support communities.
It seems that you are not able to use AirPlay Mirroring of your MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid 2010) to your Apple TV. Some use AirPlay to display video from your Mac to a TV high definition, looks like AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or later MacBook Pro:
Required to use AirPlay
If you go to the Apple menu > System Preferences, click on monitors and do not see the option to "See the mirroring of the options in the menu bar when it is available," your Mac does not meet these requirements.
Minimum requirements if your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network:
- Apple TV (2nd generation or later) with the latest version of the Apple TV software
- For mirroring of your screen to display your desktop, one of the following computers Mac with OS X Lion mountains v10.8 or later version:
Minimum requirements for peer-to-peer AirPlay, which allows visitors to quickly and easily connect their Mac or an iOS device to your Apple TV without getting the passwords and connection to the network Wi - Fi:
- Apple TV (3rd generation Rev A, model A1469 or later version) with the latest version of the Apple TV software
- Mac with OS X Yosemite v10.10 or later version (2012 or later)
For help AirPlay of Quicktime or Safari for your Apple TV, see the instructions and the "Get help" section in use AirPlay to display video from your Mac to a TV high definition.
For the reflection of your Mac on your HD TV, I suggest you to use the TV as an external display by using the Mini DisplayPort connection. The information on these links can help with getting started:

What is the best OS for Macbook pro 13.3 mid-2010
What is the best OS for Macbook pro 13.3 mid-2010.
I am currently using OS X El captian and it's extremelly slow. Please tell us which is the best OS for her to be able to function properly.
Thank you very much
specifications:
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
The Snow Leopard is one of the more stable OS Ive ever used, but you won't have a lot of features. Mavericks is in the Middle, has more features and is always quite stable. I would, however, try to reinstall El Capitan, or deleting some files to free up space.
See you soon,.

MacBook pro 13 inch mid-2012 with the help of el capitan
is there anyone with a macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012 that the use of el capitan?
I want to improve my macbook to mavericks in el capitan, but my friend told me not to do. Because she just update its macbook (same model with mine) and it becomes slower than before (yosemite).
Is there anyone with the same problem? Or maybe another problem after upgrade to el capitan?
It works perfectly with EC is that you have enough memory. I say that at least 8 GB is necessary. 4 GB is very marginal.

Have you tried booting in Safe Mode? If you can start check safe mode to see if the problems you described have stopped. If they are stopped, and then restart the computer normally. What happens then?

Update of the Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2012
Hello...
I im experiencing some major performance issues on my Mac Book Pro 13 mid 2012 thumb and would really like to move to 16 GB of memory Ram and an SSD.
That someone has or has had experience with the mise a niveau of this model... or the upgrade in general and running on some issues.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Best
Assuming that it is a model identifier 9.2, it will accept the 16 GB of RAM and an SSD will improve its overall performance. The best sources for RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial. Based on reputation and personal experience, OWC and Crucial get my nod for SSDS as well.
You will need to decide if the higher cost for one SSD worth it. compared to a classic HARD disk if the bank account is fat, do. I have.
Ciao.

Update of the Macbook Pro 13 inch i7 (mid-2012) worm.
Dear Apple community
Greetings,
I would like to know your opinion about the upgrade to the Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid-2012) i7 2.9 worm. by the following:
1. replace the stock HARD 750 GB to a Samsung EVO 850 SSD 1 TB drive in the link below
2. replace the stock RAM memory which is 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) in the link below
I know that apple says that 8GB is the maximum RAM.
is it OK to do? ? (System and stability not wise not hardware wise)
will I have problems with the system after the upgrade? ?
I had done a lot of research about this, but am not sure yet.
your help is highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Best regards
I would avoid the Samsung SSD. If you analyze these forums, many users have experienced difficulties with the Samsung SSD. (Some are not) Note that Samsung is unable to talk about Mac compatibility on their web site. I think what to say.
I can recommend Crucial SSD based on my experience in the installation of three of them in my Mbps. OWC SSDS have an excellent reputation.
I support the Crucial RAM. I have 16 GB of Crucial RAM installed in two of my Mbps. 16 GB of RAM should present no problems for your MBP. OWC is also a great salesman of RAM Mac compatible.
Ciao.

What is the best way to buy an iPhone Unlocked 7?
Hi all
I am currently using T-Mobile and want to get the new iPhone 7. Since there is no option for a sim-free iPhone, what is the best way to buy the new iPhone? Should I get the T-Mobile one full fare? I know that he will be released version but it will come with a T-Mobile sim so what will do with the sim card? Put it away or give it to T-Mobile? Or should I wait for the version without card sim to appear, which I don't think that will come out until November, and I don't want to wait that long.
Thank you in advance.
If you do not want to wait to pay full price for the model from T-Mobile. You can do whatever you want with the SIM card.

What is the best OS for a late 2008?
What is the best OS for a late 2008?
El Capitan. He will run the latest apps and have the latest safety features.
Do not install the maximum RAM that your model will accept (best sources RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial). If the bank account is fat, install an SSD (Crucial and OWC SSD are recommended).
Ciao.

What is the best terminal codes to rebuild spotlight in the Sierra of MacOS?
The recommended method for re-index/reconstruction is to open Spotlight preferences panel in system preferences, click on privacy. Now add the drive that you want to re - index to privacy window. Now delete this same player of the Privacy window, and it will now be indexed/rebuilt. No necessary terminal command.
