For example, prior to the Mountain Lion update, I had my Mac Mini connected to my television. With the update to Mountain Lion, Apple seems to have enabled a feature that causes the grey and white checkerboard to appear in any of Apple’s video playing software if there is any type of streaming or other connection active to the subject computer. A user named toastador on Apple Discussions explained it well:Īfter sitting on the line with Apple support and doing some troubleshooting, I finally figured out some additional things that might help out. What the hell?Īfter poking around on Google, I found the answer, & it’s craptastic. Immediately, the window showing the DVD turned into a gray & white checkerboard pattern. Last night I put in a DVD, which automatically opened DVD Player, & then connected to the mini via Screen Sharing. I finally upgraded the mini from Lion to Mountain Lion, & everything went swimmingly. When I want to control the mini, I use Screen Sharing to connect from my MacBook Pro. I use it to listen to music & watch TV shows & movies stored on my Synology NAS. I use a Mac mini as a media computer plugged in to my TV. Trying to use Screen Sharing & getting a gray & white checkerboard instead of videos? Here’s why.
