Posted in Hardware, Mac OS X, Scripting, Uncategorized, Unix | If you think Apple should address the issue, please let them know. And the only way to avoid the trigger is to run system profiler with each data type excluding SPDisplaysDataType. There is currently no workaround for getting display information such as Display serial number. These and other tools routinely inventory the Mac using system_profiler. Many tools that rely on system_profiler trigger the issue including JAMF Casper Suite, Puppet, and Apple Remote Desktop.
To reproduce the problem at its worst, run the following in Terminal on a Thunderbolt Mac attached to a display and attempt to use the tracking device: while do system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType doneĪpple is aware of the issue, but has stated that this is expected behavior. Running system_profiler without flags or with the SPDisplaysDataType data type triggers the problem. Specifically, when system_profiler queries the display for information. We tracked down the problem to background runs of system_profiler. In the middle of moving the cursor with mouse or trackpad, the cursor jumps or skips making it difficult to control. We’ve noticed problems with mouse cursor tracking, on Thunderbolt Macs attached to displays.

To clean up the original files after you are happy with the converted files: IFS=$'\n' for orig in $(find. Of course if you only want to handle certain file types you can change or add to the options to the find command (-name “*.avi” for example). It will output them in the same directory as the original with the suffix “-AppleTV.mp4”. That command will find all files and attempt to convert them using the ‘AppleTV’ preset.
Here is the command I am using for the conversion*: find. (It is okay if there are subdirectories you also want to process.) cd /Volumes/Data/Movies It turns out there is a HandBrake CLI tool you can download for doing batch conversions.Ĭhange into the directory of files you want to convert. But conversion of more than a few is tedious using the app. Handbrake is a free tool that can convert avi and other video type to mp4 movies that will play on the AppleTV. Once you’ve setup Home Sharing so you can play movies from iTunes on the AppleTV, you’ll notice that some movie types won’t play.
