Magic mouse and AppleTV

I bought a new17 inch MBP and am displaying it on my LG 43 using AppleTV.
Running latest version of Lion
I looks great but I am having problems with the mouse.
I have a Bluetooth Apple MagicMouse and keyboard.
The mouse is jerky and sometimes freezes for a few seconds.
This is so bad it is practically unuseable.
I have tried increasing and decreasing the tracking speed but it does not help.

Any help appreciated.

Well, let's start with basic troubleshooting. I'm not familiar with the current Apple TV, but I did not know that you could mirror your Mac through it -- I thought that was coming with the next version of the OS (Mountain Lion). How exactly is this working?

What happens if you turn off the Magic Mouse and use a wired mouse instead? Same problem? No problem?

What about if you sign into a different account (you can just use the "Guest" account for this)?

OK, I will give this a try. I will need to go and borrow a wired mouse, so I will let you know
I should also of mentioned, I am using AirParrot to display on ATV

Tried a wired USB mouse but it is just the same
as for the Guest account, it only allowed me to use safari
therefore I was unable to setup the mirroring

what about your mouse pad on the keyboard ?

Have you changed/charged the mouse batteries?

Batteries are 100%

Just the same
Sluggish on the TV but OK on the Mac

I should also point out that my iPad and iPhone work perfectly through AppleTV and AirPlay.
No delay or sluggishnes.

I am thinking that this may be an AirParrot problem.

At least I can look forward to Mountain Lion allowing AirPlay

When you say 'increasing and decreasing the tracking speed' do you mean in your Mac's System Prefs ?

I say this because there are some optimising sliders in Airparrot for adjusting Underscan, Video Quality, Max Frame Rate etc which may have a bearing on your problem.

I was referring to Mac's System Prefs but late last night I increased the frame rate to 60 in AirParrot and am seeing an improvement. Still not right though.

I have had contact from AirParrrot and they are suggesting I change channels on my Router.
I was going to try that this morning and I will post the result later.

Ok hope that you get it sorted. What resolution is your TV outputting as a matter of interest?

You could also try altering the native resolution on you MBP for example to 1152 by 720.

1920 1080
Its an LG 42 3D set
Although I am not using the 3d in this matter.

As I said earlier the new iPad displays brilliantly and the newest iPhone

Double tapping and swiping mirrors instantly with no sluggishness

Changing channels on the router did nothing at all

I think it is the source rather than anything else.

Can you elaborate
By source do you mean the MBP ?

Yes (Apologies for the brevity...Sunday is a busy day).

I suggested earlier that you may wish to alter the resolution on your MBP. I would try that and also follow this guidance from AirParrot's troubleshooting advice as an alternative.

"I expected higher quality from AirParrot.

If you need the best quality and performance, you need to set your screen to the native resolution of the AppleTV 2 (1280x720) or AppleTV 3 (1920x1080). This will eliminate scaling and other artifacts. The preferences for AirParrot will allow you to find the best trade off between speed and quality of video. The closer your AppleTV and Mac are to your Wi-Fi access point, the lower the latency and the better the quality of video you'll see! "

The TV , ATV , Router and the MBP are practically touching each other and I followed all the advice from AirParrot but only the frame rate made any difference, however slight.

Ok. Can you alter the frame rate on the TV ? For example my Samsung Series 6 has multiple fine tuning options for 100Hz Motion Plus? (I don't use it because my ATV2 passes through my AV amp which is set to Auto)

Also can you check what version HDMI cable it is that you are using and swap it out at all ?
