How to use airplay

I don't know if its just me being majorly dense but I am unable to get airplay to work. I have an iPad mini which I want to mirror on my mac mini which I have Airserver installed on. I have the mac mini hardwired but also I have it connected to the same Wi-Fi network as my iPad. When I slide up to access the control centre to connect to my mac via airplay it doesn't show me the option for airplay! Is there anything I need to enable on the iPad to get the option for airplay?

    Hi ChrisBell,
    my Pixi shows me the missed calls in a list of its own? I don't have many, so maybe I'm missing something. But I agree with your half-ranting to some degree. As a long-time Palm-user (my last phone was a Treo 680, terrible form factor, good UI), I am really disappointed with the standard software on this phone. Memos and Tasks, which AFAIK were there and useful even on the first Newton's, have regressed beyond the point of usefulness now (solution: Toodledo and Done!, at least for now).
    But ChrisBell: if you feel up for it, you could start tinkering. Many people love these phones so much they have started developing patches to solve the obvious problems skimmed over by developers. Try looking up "webosquickinstall" and "preware", and you will find over 300 patches and a lot of free software to help you out. I am not a computer wizard myself, but I am not scared of them either, and I have been able to make good use of all these extras made available by the community.
    just a thought, might help you out on a few of your half-rants

  • How to use Airplay with AE and ATV with no internet connection?

    I am currently at a resort that only has the AT&T Wi-fi.  Unelss someone knows how to hook an AppleTV into an AT&T network and get past their acceptance of terms screen I need to figure out how to get this to to work.
    I have an airport Express set up as it's own network.  I had the Apple TV join that netowork as well as my iPad.  When I start to play a movie the Airplay icon comes up and I tell it to use the AppleTV.  On the TV a notification comes up in the corner that has the movie name but then that's it.  It never plays. The AE was unhappy about not having an internet connection but I told it to ignore not having one and it turned green.
    As far as I can tell I should in theory be able to have the AE be it's own network without internet and use Airplay between my iPad and the ATV.  It's just a no go and I can't tell why.
    Thoughts?  Settings I may not be aware of? I can't figure it out.

    AirPlay is only compatible with AirPort base stations.
    The dongle is not compatible with AirPlay.

  • How to use airplay do I need additional hardware

    Cant see the airplay icon how do I use this I am trying to conect with Logitech UE Air Speaker and iphone 5 ? ipad air sorry if this is silly question but I've never used airplay before so not sure if I need any this else.

    GIves us more info
    The speakers work over WiFi?
    What model Logitech speaker is this? I am not finding this on their website?
    What are you trying to use these with? Your Mac or iOS devices or a TV?
    Airplay is only for video mirroring and you need a 2011 iMac or better to use Airplay on Mavericks.
    Logitech wireless speakers should work without needing an AppleTV.
    Contact Logitech to find out what you are doing wrong.

  • How to use airplay with wifi dongle?

    My mac's wifi adapter was broken, so I bought a wifi dongle - ASUS USB-N10.
    It wasn't work until I installed the driver: http://www.wireless-driver.com/realtek-rtl8192su-adapter-macos-drivers-ver1082/
    And however it seems to be a wifi assistant to help me using my wifi dongle more than a simple driver, and my mac recognize the wifi dongle as a lan connection, so I just cannot use airplay anymore!
    The question is: how can I make my mac recognize the wifi dongle correctly (as a wifi)?

    AirPlay is only compatible with AirPort base stations.
    The dongle is not compatible with AirPlay.

  • HT4437 how to use airplay mirroring between ipad3 and apple tv without any internet or wifi

    I do presentation and a lot of the time, there is no wifi or internet connection available in the room (school, church, community center).
    Is there a way to use airplay mirroring so I can use my powerpoint or my keynotes from my ipad to the apple tv?
    I also have a macbookpro, I know there is a way to create your own network with the macbookpro, how don't remember how, but would prefer not to have to carry my macbookpro.
    thanks
    Christian

    You can stream the content with a local connection. You dont need "internet", but need to connect the apple tv to a wireless router(plugged in with no internet) or hardline. Then connect the ipad wirelessly to the same router. Its a basic internet setup without the "internet ethernet cord" plugged in.

  • How to use AirPlay on a 802.1x network

    I'm trying to connect an AppleTV 3 to an 802.1x network, but I failed to use Airplay: no Airplay buttons appear on proper apps on my iPad 2. Only if I join a commercial ADSL network, anything works well, but this solution is not applicable to my aims (using Keynote from iPads to our interactive whiteboards).
    May I install a profile configuration (link) to my AppleTV? This would solve all my problems... I tried, unsuccesully .
    You can find a description of the network I tried to join here (in Italian).
    I don't need to play any movie downloaded from iTunes, so I shouldn't need any Internet connection, should I? The captive portal described in the link above in necessary only for Internet, not to join the internal network.
    I'm available for any further explanation and I hope to have been clear...

    Thanks Daniel,
    I'll try the suggestion asap!

  • How to use airplay to display ipad slideshow on macmini screen

    iPad 3
    Mac Mini, Mountain Lion
    Airplay
    I do not have AppleTV.
    I can play iPad's music through the Macmini, using Airplay.
    I seem to be able to play a slideshow - the iPad shows it is playing to the macmini, but no picture appears on the screen.
    Earlier, with an original iPad, and the same Macmini with O/S Lion, I was able to do slideshows on the TV via the macmini.
    Can anyone explain what's gone wrong?

    Thanks Daniel,

  • How to use airplay speakers in multi-output device without crackling audio?

    Hi,
    I would like to mirror the audio output from my mac mini to the built-in output and an airplay speaker.
    Therefore I added a Multi-Output Device containing  the Built-in- and Airplay output, as soon as I activate the airplay speaker the sound is mirrored but unfortunately always with a crackling sound coming of the speakers set as "slave Device"... only the Device set as "Master Device" has clear sound, doesn't matter if it's the airplay speaker or the speaker (or headphone) directly connected to the built-in output.
    I've tested this with a mac mini and an mac book air as audio source, same problem. Both were running Mac OS V. 10.9.2.
    Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm using a 2011 Macbook Pro running Mavericks and current Apple TV (MD199HK/A 3rd generation) when trying to output audio to both Apple TV and built-in output simultaneously I suffer crackling and popping. I have this issue once I use Audio MIDI Setup (under utilities) to create a Multi-Output Devise. Once I use this multi-output devise made up of Apple TV and Built-In Output to get my music to both output devises at once BUT I get crackling sound on either Spotify or iTunes.
    I've worked around this issue by using AirParrot. I select Apple TV in AirParrot with Audio enabled. The Apple TV then takes all audio output, then I select the 'Multi-Output Devise created in 'Audio MIDI Setup' and I have playback through Apple TV and Built-In Output without any crackling or popping.
    Only minor outstanding issue is that whatever scenario I then run Audio Midi Setup in terms of setting various devises as Master Clock and resampling of sub devise I can't perfect the sync between Apple TV audio output and my local Macbook Pro, but close enough with the slightest hint of echo. Plenty of forums discussing Word Clock sync which is out of my league. Un-ticking drift correction on the 'AirParrot' audio output has them close enough, depends on how easily you can hear your apple TV output from the room where your Macbook Pro is and vice versa.

  • How to use Airplay in Keynote with iPad 1

    The new update for Keynote for iOS (1.5) says that they now added AirPlay support. They didn't say this will only be for iPad2 or iPhone 4S where you could mirror anyway.
    So:
    How can I enable Airplay on my iPad1 in Keynote, so that the presentation will show up on my AppleTV, and I can view the presenter notes on my iPad (exactly the way my VGA-cable works, I just want to work without that cord.)
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.
    As I said I do NOT want to use an iPad2. I know that I can enable AirPlayMirroring in the Taskbar, and then start a keynote presenation afterwards.
    My question was how to do this on the iPad1. It doesn't support AirPlay-Mirroring, so it doesn't show me the Airplay button at all at any time, although Keynote is started and running. Since Apple did't say, it this feature will only be for those with AirPlayMirroring capabilties (iPad2 or iPhone4s and above), there needs to be a way how to start an AirPlayKeynotePresentation without the Airplaybutton in the Multitaskingbar.

  • How to use airplay for Apple TV from a MacBook Pro?

    Help!

    Try changing your energy saver settings.   Make sure the macbook is plugged in and change both display and computer sleep to never.  When your display goes to sleep airplay will shut off.  I don't watch a lot of tv on airplay from my mac, but this works for when I'm streaming radio or music.  I suggest getting a cheap iPod touch (with airplay) on craigslist if you don't have an iPhone.  I've seen them as low as $30.  Then get the Air Video app ($3) and the Remote app (free).  These two apps take care of all of my tv/movie watching needs. 
    If your appleTV is too far from your wireless router then you will have trouble using any of these features.  Try purchasing an extra long (100') cat5 cable from monoprice.com and moving your router to a more central area of your house.  You can even put a second router in your home using this cat5 and get great internet connection everywhere! 

  • How to use AirPlay mirroring with Cox TV Connect app for iPad?

    I just bought an Apple TV 3 yesterday because I have been using the Cox TV Connect app for iPad a lot lately because I lost a lot of my favorite channels when I got rid of the higher teir of Cox Cable due of the price, and I can veiw these channels on my iPad now with the Cox TV Connect app. I thought if I bought an Apple TV I could use the AirPlay feature to stream the live TV shows from the iPad app to the TV through Apple TV and unfortuneately the option wasnt there, so I tried to mirror the iPad screen to the Apple TV but I dont have the option in the multitasking bar, anyone know why this is? I have updated the iPad and Apple TV to the software update that was just recently released. Even when im not using the Cox TV app on the iPad I still cant mirror my screen to the Apple TV, but I can do so with the iPhone 4S.

    That document is describing what you say you are already seeing.  It is talking about enabling the air play button in "apps like Videos, Music etc" as you described.  So if you have the AirPlay button showing up in the iOS music and video players is it working as it is supposed to.  So what is it you are not seeing?
