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 am using a 2012 mac book pro 2.6ghz core i7 with 8gb memory, and even when playing full 1080p video activity monitor shows that my laptop is hardly stretched.Ĭan anyone help and advice why I'm having problems airplaying from my laptop and not on my iphone as this is infuriating! i don't understand why this is and want advice on how to get a smooth airplay experience from my mac book.i have followed all the advice I can find online without success:ġ) i have checked my internet connections and ensured i it is fast and stable (15 mb/s down, 1mb/s up).(obviously the same as on my iphone anyway)Ģ) i have toggled on/off bluetooth and it make no differenceģ) i have ensured all other programs are turned off and i am not downloading anythingĤ)i have tried changing the display options to optimise the display for airplayĥ) i have ensured my apple tv and mac have the latest software (including the last maverick update)Ħ) i have tried connecting my laptop and apple tv to my router via Ethernet This is the case whether i am watching youtube, sky go, and also videos in QuickTime or vlc player. The air play feature works seamlessly with my iphone 5 and i get good hd quality and no lag, however when i use my mac book i am experiencing some audio lag and what looks like a low frame rate as the picture is jittery and rarely smooth.

I have recently bought a new apple tv (november 2013) partly for using net flix, listening to music and using youtube on my big screen, but the main reason was for me to watch movies i have on my mac book pro without having to manually plug it in.
