AirPlay audio stutters - only works when mirroring

I have a 3G Apple TV, which I use to stream audio content from my iPhone 5 and 3rd generation iPad. When I try to stream audio from those devices via AirPlay, it stutters horribly. If I enable mirroring, it works fine. If I enable mirroring for a second and then disable it, it also works fine. So, everytime I need to stream audio, I have to turn on mirroring and then turn it back off again - quite a pain. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to fix it? I have read numerous articles on optimizing my WiFi network and router/AppleTV placement, and have optimized all aspects of the network as best I can. AppleTV shows a strong signal and has no problems streaming content using the AppleTV menu itself (Netflix, iTunes, iTunes Match, etc).

I also am having trouble with AirPlay on Apple TV 2 (iMac on 10.7, iPhone/iPad on iOS 5). I found a workaround using the Apple TV: turn AirPlay off/on, then go into the password screen and immediately exit (i.e., don't set a password). After exiting the password screen AirPlay begins playing.
I hope Apple recognizes this as a bug and fixes it soon.

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

    Time Capsule Airport
    Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
    Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

    This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
    In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
    Simply post the screenshots here.
    So here is mine.
    Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
    eg.
    Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
    This is wifi in your computer.
    The following are important..
    DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
    Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TC name. TCgen5
    Wireless name TCwifi
    Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
    read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
    OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    Mount the TC manually in finder.
    AFP://TCgen5.local
    When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
    Reset Time Machine

  • My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio.  When I take it out, it goes blank.  Why can I do?

    My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio.  When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank.  The battery shows fully charged.  It appears that the battery is no longer charging.  What should I do?

    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

    Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
    Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

    Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

  • My CD/DVD Drive Only Works When I Jam the CD/DVD in hard..?

    My CD/DVD drive only works when I stuff the CD/DVD in the drive EXTRA hard. If I just try to put in with normal force (that at one time worked) it spins the disc around, makes a spinning noise, and then ejects it. I'm taking it to the Apple Store soon. What should I expect to be wrong and is it fixable? Please share details. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like the spring that loads the drive has gotten jammed by something. This can often happen if you use CDs with sticky labels, or do anything to label the discs directly. As a result of issues like these, I've not labeled any discs directly, and instead store the in jewelcases, and purchase them prepackaged in jewelcases to avoid such issues.

  • Upgrading to Mavericks wrecked my MacBook Pro & now it only works when external hard drive is plugged in

    So I tried to upgrade to Mavericks today and it failed (same error as in this post which seemed to be a common problem). It wouldn't let me repair the disk, and after trying all sorts I rebooted my computer in recovery mode - it wouldn't let me reinstall Lion because the hard drive was apparently locked and I could see no way around this. So I decided to restore from a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive and that worked okay, except my MacBook now only works when the external hard drive is connected. If I remove the external hard drive, I'm back to square one as it still won't let me reinstall Lion as the HD is locked!
    I have no idea what's going on. HELP!

    The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    Marina -
    What Kappy said, or maybe your Battery charging cable is faulty, or something's happened to the input slot.
    I'd take it to Apple and have them troubleshoot it for you.

    You are referring to a feature called Clamshell Mode, please read Clamshell Mode setup for instructions.
    BTW when posting when you use generalities such as "have tried everything" this tells us nothing. When posting please be specific and try to paint a complete picture. It just makes things easier for those trying to help you.

  • ISight only works when it's the ONLY firewire device?

    I have connected the iSight to both the firewire 400 and firewire 800 ports. It only works when it is the only device connected to the port.
    If I connect it to a hard drive, it works if and only if the hard drive is off. When I turn the drive on, the iSight ceases functioning. When I connect it to a hub, it works if and only if there are no other devices connected to the hub that are on.
    Is there a trick to getting the iSight working with other devices?

     Some devices are tricky for me, too. Possible hardware or software conflicts

  • Does Siri only work when connected to WiFi

    Does Siri only work when you are connected to a Wifi?  Mine does not seem to work through the 4G cell network.

    It works over WiFi or cellular.
    If you are using 4G cell network, are you using something like a Verizon MiFi 4510L to create a hotspot that your iPhone 4S is using?
    There are other issues with Siri that are going on - perhaps that is what you are seeing?
