Air play mirroring issue

Hello, so i resently upgraded to mountain lion and wanted to try out airplay mirroring on my apple tv (mid 2012 macbook pro, same with the apple tv) but when i click the airplay button my apple tv screen just goes black. at first i thought it might be a sizing issue but that wasn't it. now airplay works on itunes so i know it is some faulty think with either device. anyone else having this problem? or anyone have any advice?

alright i am hoping i just worded everything wrong and some one knows how to fix this, so here it goes.
my macbook pro and apple TV were both bought early July and both are running the most resent OS. they are also connected to the same wi-fi. but when i try to enable airplay mirroring on the menu bar my TV (which had the apple TV menu on it) goes black so i know they are connecting on some level, even my computers audio is being played through the TV's speakers but no picture just a black screen. i have also tried seeing if it my tv just couldn't handle airplay mirroring or something but i can airplay movies from itunes onto my apple TV just fine and everything works also my iphone can airplay to my TV if that is any useful info. IDK everything on both computers seems to be working just fine in every other way but this one (sadly this feature was the main reason i upgraded OS on my macbook)
so if anyone know of something i should try please help me out!!

  • Air play mirroring mac with mountain lion, sound is working but video is extremely slow to update

    I am trying to get air play mirroring working on my  mid 2011 Mac book pro and Apple TV 3 (latest one) with mountain lion. I have the icon, it seems to connect to each other, and the screen shows up on my apple TV, yet it doesnt update, takes a long time to show up at all, just keeps showing the same screen. However, the audio works fine, I tried to play a Xfinity stream through safari, the video didnt show up on apple TV but the sound came through with no delay. Any ideas?

    thanks for the help.... even thought it didn't work...
    basically I think i either have some virus or this is the result of that stupid update I did... I know i did that keyboard one an itunes one a quicktime one and there might've been another.

  • I turned on Air Play mirroring tonight while streaming a video.  The video came through fine but no audio.  Any ideas on a fix?

    I was watching a video full screen on my macbook but when I turned on air play mirroring to my Apple TV, the audio went dead on the mac and there was no audio on the tv.  Any ideas why?  Turn off mirroring and the audio was fine on the Mac.

    Well an alternative to using the AirPlay feature in the Youtube app, is to use the Youtube app in the Apple TV. Thats all I have to say! All built-in apps on the Apple TV have amazing playback!
    Hope this helped!

  • Air Play Mirror for iPad

    Hi,
    I have a new Apple TV with up to date software.
    Two iPhone 5's up to date and and iPad 4th Gen and 2 iPad Air2's also up to date, all on the same network.
    The iPhones will screen mirror but the iPads won't, they will air play photos and videos but no mirroring (no option available to turn it on when selecting air play to the apple tv).
    Am I missing something ?
    Any help appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.
