No video mirroring iPad2 - AppleTV

Help.
I've checked my Apple TV (Menu > General > Update software) which says 'Your Apple TV is up to date'.
I've checked in 'About' and it says it's running 4.3 (2257)
I've checked my iPad 2 which says it is running the latest version of iOS - 5.0
I double tap the home button on iPad2, scroll to iPod music control, hit the Airplay button which shows:
- iPad
- Apple TV
I do NOT get an option to mirror. It's just those two devices on the list and nothing else. No sliding blue 'Mirror' switch.
I select AppleTV. Now all apps on the iPad (games etc.) play the audio through the AppleTV but I get no video. It just stays on the AppleTV menu screen.
What am I missing? Anyone know why I don't get the sliding blue 'Mirror' switch. I want to play Real Racing HD on my massive TV :-(
Thanks

You need to upgrade your apple tv software to 4.4. But many people are having trouble doing this at the moment. See the other threads in this forum section.

Video mirroring of Ipad2 using component cable only displays videos but not home screen

I watched videos online that show that I should be able to view my ipad2 home screen and apps while I'm video mirroring on my television but I can't see anything (only hear the audio) except when I play videos or watch youtube and use apps that have the TV Out function...Is there anyway to fix it?

I mean I can only view videos that I play on my TV from my Ipad2 but other than that I can't see my Ipad home screen on TV or any other apps that I open, though I can hear the audio. I'm using a component cable. I thought that I should be able to view my home screen etc with the cable?

IPad2 and VGA/Video Mirroring...

I'm a teacher with a VGA projector in my classroom. I really want to get an iPad2, but I've been holding out until I could justify the purchase by using it in class (Maps, Safari, Keynote, Pages, using the cameras to record video of the kid's projects, etc).
I've been reading a lot of vague information about video mirroring, I realize that the HDMI adaptor will mirror my brand spanking new iPad to an HDTV, but that's worthless to me in the classroom. I've read a lot of people who think that video mirroring will work with the VGA adaptor and an iPad2. Can anyone definitively tell me that iPad2 and iOS4.3 will support video mirroring with the VGA adaptor so that I can use it with my classroom's projector?
Please let the answer be yes, that would be awesome. If not... Can anyone think of a workable solution? HDMI adaptor --> HDMI Cable --> HDMI to VGA adaptor --> VGA cable?
Thanks.

Scroll down the page to Apple VGA Adapter. http://www.apple.com/ipad/accessories/
It says, "Share what’s on your iPad screen with an even larger audience by connecting your iPad to a TV, monitor, projector, or LCD display that uses a VGA connector." That's full mirroring.
This is a new description for the VGA Adapter, the old description is available if you click through to "buy now". The adapter appears to be the same, I think the difference will be iOS4 software that allows full mirroring.

Do you have the correct input set on the TV, like HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc?

Video mirroring in Mavericks not working

Hi folks,
I have an Apple TV and I just downloaded Mavericks; I'd like to video mirror onto my AppleTV.
When I open up my system preferences , I can click on my displays icon. When I click on the checkbox for the video mirroring to show up in the menu bar, I can check the box, but nothing happens in the menu bar. Needless to say, I cannot video mirror on my AppleTV.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello DaDrainer,
Thank you for the details about the issue you are experiencing when trying to use AirPlay Mirroring on your Apple TV.
I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear" in the following article (you can skip the steps that refer to an iOS device since you are only experiencing the issue on your Mac):

27 Inch iMac doesn't mirror to AppleTV - but iTunes does using Airplay

I was having a heck of a time trying to get mirroring to work from my 27 inch iMac OS10.9.x to AppleTV. iTunes would send video to AppleTV using Airplay but selecting mirroring did not work even though AppleTV was selectable from the iMac display preferences. .
Solved:
After spending hours and several days on the phone with Apple Support who were very persistent in getting to the bottom of this, and having the Apple Engineering staff involved it was determined that I had some 3rd party drivers installed. My system setup was done through Migration Assistant to get this new iMac setup using stuff from my old iMac.
Uninstalling AirParrott didn't help. It turns out SplashTop desktop drivers were the problem. I had did an uninstall of SplashTop but that did not delete the drivers, probably because of the Migrated system? Running some tests Apple advisor was able to determine com.splashtop.driver.SRXDisplayCard and com.splashtop.driver.SRXFrameBufferConnector drivers were still loading at startup. An initial search of the /System/Library/Extensions directory did not show these files because they are named " SRXDisplayCard " and " SRXFrameBufferConnector " . Moving these files to the Trash Can and Restarting my iMac and voila I now have mirroring to my AppleTV. Note that there is another place to look for SRFrameBufferConnection.framework which is a file used in my installation of Splash Desktop. You can find it at and move /System//Library/Frameworks to the trash.
So if you had SplashTop (mine was a 2012 version) on your iMac and can't display using mirroring to AppleTV try the above.

Does the scanner show up in the System Profiler under USB? (If this is a FW/1394 device, this won't apply...)
If not you could try an alternate port and see if that helps. I have had situations where specific devices could not be on the same USB Bus as another device... moving them between open USB ports helped as the Buses are not obviously defined.

I have an iPad 2 that I want to use with video mirroring to give lectures with. I bought a VGA Adapter for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod as I want to be able to connect with any TV, monitor or projector for lectures, not just an HD device.. After plugging in my iPad to the VGA adapter and then to the video device, it appears that there is no connection with the iPad. Anybody have any thoughts?

Is there any way to turn on Video Mirroring if my iMac display is FUBARed?

Okay, my iMac display is permanently frakked.
Nothing else is wrong with the system (the tech assured me, anyways). Haven't yet used Firewire Target Mode to check yet.
Regardless, I have all the proper cables and adapters--and external VGA monitor--but no way (that I know of) to turn video mirroring on.
If I can't get an external display working, I'll be out either $900 to repair the display or $3000 for a completely new system.
Ideas?

Tried it and no go.
Not sure what's wrong.
Connect the VGA cord to the Mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter
Connect to external monitor.
Boot up iMac with adapter attached. Cmd-F1. Nothing.
Boot up iMac with adapter unattached, attach after boot is finished, Cmd-F1. Nothing.
Repeat, using a different USB port for my keyboard. Nothing (x2).
Repeat again, using a third USB port for my keyboard. Nothing (x2).
If I'm not doing anything wrong**, I can only conclude the techie was incorrect and there is something else besides "just the display" that is wrong with the iMac.
**Is the monitor even connected correctly if I continuously get a "no signal" message? Or is that only because the mirroring isn't enabled?

Video Mirroring

I'm looking for a way to toggle video mirroring on & off on an intel imac. My MacBook Pro has a dedicated key, but the Apple Wireless Keyboard does not. Does anyone know of a key command or an applescript that can do this?

I too would like to know an applescript way to toggle mirroring that does not involve system preferences launching.

Video mirroring iPad 2 + Component AV Cable

Can I use a Component Av Cable to video mirroring my iPad 2?
I have the VGA adapter an it works great for that purpose but I'd like better quality output than just VGA.
Have you tested this combination?
Thanks

Confirmed, the component cable does not support mirroring.
Also I don't know where consumers get it in their heads that VGA is worse then component.
They're both analog connections.
They can both do 1080p (1920x1080 or 1920x1200 (16:10 aspect)), VGA can actually go higher then that.
Some devices will look washed out with VGA, this is NOT the VGA standards fault, but rather that devices implementation. The Xbox 360 for example had this issue originally but it was fixed via a software update.
VGA and Component are definitely on their way out in the consumer space, but they're still widely used in the business world with older data projectors (VGA being most prominent).
As for mirroring, the HDMI and VGA adapters are your best friends with the iPad 2.
I believe the component cable could handle the mirroring, its just something on Apple's end that's preventing it. Perhaps because if you use component on an older non-HDTV it can only do 480i and perhaps that causes issues with the iPad trying to output to that resolution. Just a thought.

How to Video Mirror to my Iphone Projector

Hello
I have bought the new iPad recently.
I have a projector for my Iphone 4s which i recieved as a gift
http://www.brookstone.com/pocket-projector-for-iphone-4
I also recieved a dokc extender wire that I used to connect my iPad to my Iphone projector. It is 30 pin on both ends and supports video out.
So far I can't do true video mirroring. I can use video-out functions (videos, photos, youtube, select Video/out apps), but I am looking to reproduce the entire screen via my projector.
Do i need to turn something on true video monitoring or is there a very specfic cable i am missing? I was kind of hoping this would work. Its nice to have some limited video out functionality but the mirroring function was one of my selling points.
I hope someone can help.
Also I am relatively new to the apple world...so don't be afraid to elaborate.
Thank you.

I'm going to be honest, after I read your reply my first thought was to do the following
Buy the HDMI adapter, connect it to the ipad, then connect the hdmi wire, then find another adapter to go from the HDMI out back to a 30 pin to connect the phone (while creating a mesh of wires)
Silly? Absolutely
Infinitely cheaprer than the portable projectors out there? Absolutely
