When I was in college, I took a class that met Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  The professor named the days of the week as follows: Monday Mirth (he would bring funny things to read), Wednesday Work Day, and Friday Food Day (one person would volunteer to bring food).  It was a fun way to break out of the monotony of going to school.

I would like to start a tradition on my blog.  Every day of the week I will post something that follows the theme of that day.  For example: Monday's musings, Tuesday's tip of the week, Wednesday work day (review/tutorial that has to do with an app or device made for business, Thursday (maybe throwback thursday?), and Friday fun day (review a gaming app, etc.).

Let me know in the comments what you think?

Apple TVs are awesome, but they don't always work the way we want them to.  I have found that Airplay works best when you are not mirroring, but air playing the video or music by itself.  However, Mirroring your display is a great thing to do, and it works well most of the time.  But what do you do if it doesn't work?

It is really simple to reboot your Apple TV with your remote.  Simply hold the down button and menu button for 6 seconds (or until the light starts blinking rapidly) and release. The Apple TV will reboot

There are a couple of steps you can take to reset your connection with the Apple TV.  First, try turning off your wifi and turning it back on.  If that doesn't work, open Terminal and type in sudo killall coreaudiod and press enter.  It will ask for your account password.  Type in your password and press enter.  This will reset Airplay on your computer.

The above steps will work 90% of the time.  This is also assuming that you have checked cables, and that your network is working. It's helpful to ensure that your Apple TV is connected to the same network your Mac is connected to.  And finally, on occasion, it is necessary to reboot your computer.
