There’s an Apple software glitch creeping around, and it’s affecting new MacBook Pros, and some 2011 MacBook Pros. The problem is in the connection between an iOS device and the Macbook Pro. Read on for more info.
The problem has come to light through Apple discussion forums, where there’s over 210 posts in one thread on the issue, where the problem is centred around Home Sharing. One users says:
“Just wanted to pass along my experience with a new 17 inch MacBook Pro quad-core. They don’t seem to play very well with Home Sharing. Picked mine up at the Apple store on Friday. Set up Saturday, and at first all seemed well. Was able to stream to my Apple TV 2nd gen just fine.
“Then, later in the day, although the Apple TV could see the name of my iTunes library, it wouldn’t connect to it, or sometimes, would report that “There are no movies in this library”. I tried every solution I could think of, but no dice. Apple phone support were great, but couldn’t diagnose the problem.The problem is reportedly going to be fixed in a 10.6.7 software update that’s on its way.”
Speculation says that the problem is rooted in something to do with the adjustments made for new Sandy Bridge processors and the Thunderbolt connection.
