Online or on cd isn't as good. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Taylor Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2014 12:03 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] OT: Sony Sucks, big time Have been following this discussion and can answer this question. I have a Sony Bravia and Apple TV. My MacBook Air is running Mavericks. I selected the Apple TV input on my Bravia, then clicked on the AirDrop logo in the toolbar on my laptop. It turned blue. Then I clicked on the now blue AirDrop logo again and selected Mirror Built in Display and, voila, instant mirroring on the Bravia. I think the absence of printed manuals for computers explains a lot of this difficulty. There?s often much trial and error involved in getting things to work and, often, also requires consultation with someone who?s all ready figured it out. There?s lots of other stuff I don?t like about Mavericks and I think Apple is getting way too high handed, but at least this one is simple.
