    Hello malinlinda,

     

     

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

     

     

    I understand that the image on your TV, while using AirPlay to mirror your desktop, seems to be slow and shutting down. You do not experience this behavior while using your iPhone, only your Mac.

     

     

     

    We know that situations like this can be frustrating, but we do have some troubleshooting steps available for situations like these available in the following article. This kind of issue may be due to wireless connectivity issues between your Mac and Apple TV. Please work through the suggested troubleshooting in the following article and let us know if the issue continues.

     

     

     

    If AirPlay disconnects by itself, your wireless network might be too busy or have too much wireless interference to maintain the AirPlay connection. Learn how to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity issues. The manual of your network router might have additional suggestions for maintaining a strong and fast connection with your devices.
