Airplay doesn't show up on any Apple Devices!!!

Hi,
I'm pretty desespered.
I have an Apple TV 3, 5.2.1; and it doesn't work the airplay on any of my Apple devices.
In my home we have iPhone's, iPad's and Macbooks; and since I got the 5.2.1 release, the airplay icon doesn`t appear on any of them.
I tried everything (restarting the apple tv, and even restoring it... and nothing!)
Please help me guys =)
Thanks a lot

Problem solved!!!!
My wifi network was working on an specific channell. I changed to "multi-channel" and Airplay is working again!
Thanks vazandrew!

  • I recently purchased Apple TV and it worked right away with my three ipd minis my iPhone 5 and ipad . The next day I cannot get the airplay icon to show up on any thing? Any ideas

    I recently purchased Apple TV and the first day it worked great. The second day I can no longer get the airplay symbol on any of my devices?

    Airplay doesn't show up in control center on any of your devices?
    Have you tried restarting the devices by holding down the home and power button for about ten seconds. I would also try restarting your router/modem.

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in my iTunes devices list

    Hey, I tried to post this question an hour ago but apparently my crappy 2.16 GHz intel 2 core duo iMac with 3 GB, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM can't handle anything else while it is pointing out in iMovie '09 that none of my HD video is stable enough to take advantage of the stabilization feature.
    Anyway, here's my second attempt at seeking assistance for the most pressing of the many complications I am faced with as a Mac user.
    I can no longer see my Apple TV in the list of devices in iTunes on my iMac. This happened after I downloaded the most recent software update for my Apple TV, and after my step-father-in-law hooked me up with a home entertainment system. I have noted below with "CHECK!" the tasks I have performed in my attempts to maintain a love affair with Apple:
    Verify that you have the latest version of iTunes installed. CHECK!
    Verify that you have the latest version of Apple TV software installed. CHECK!
    Verify Apple TV is powered and properly connected to your television and you can navigate the Apple TV interface. CHECK!
    Verify Apple TV is properly connected to your network and the network is properly configured. When configuring Apple TV, if you do not see your wireless network, exit the selection screen by pressing the Menu button then go back in and the software will rescan. DUMB THIS ONE DOWN, APPLE. HOW DO I VERIFY APPLE TV IS PROPERLY CONNECTED TO MY NETWORK? WHY NOT SAY, "CHECK THAT APPLE TV SHOWS UP IN THE iTUNES DEVICES LIST" AS A TROUBLESHOOTING OPTION WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THAT THEIR PROBLEM IS THAT THEIR APPLE TV DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THEIR iTUNES DEVICES LIST". THAT'D BE HELPFUL.
    Verify network connectivity on Apple TV by playing a movie trailer in Movies > Trailers. CHECK (BUT *** IS THAT "BIG MAN JAPAN" MOVIE TRAILER ABOUT?)
    Verify that the computer you are using can access the iTunes Store. CHECK!
    If you're using Apple TV in a school or office environment, make sure Apple TV is on the same network segment as your computer (check with your network administrator) or else iTunes won't see Apple TV. NOT APPLICABLE
    For more information on how to properly set up your Apple TV, see the Apple TV Users Guide. UH, I BOUGHT THIS THING 1.5 YEARS AGO. DO I NEED TO REALLY GO BACK TO THAT?
    Restart iTunes (Quit or Exit and then reopen iTunes). CHECK!
    Reconnect Apple TV to iTunes OH THANKS. THIS IS GOOD ADVICE. *** DO YOU MEAN BY RECONNECT APPLE TV TO iTunes?
    If that doesn't address the issue, then:
    Reset HOW?
    Restart your computer. CHECK!
    Rejoin network (wireless) and/or Restart your network router ***? HOW? WHERE TO I CLICK?
    Reinstall iTunes OH SNAP! I'LL DO THAT IF NOBODY HAS ANY BETTER ADVICE.
    If you have Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), click here for information on configuring Firewall. SHOOTSKIE, I WILL NEED TO GO BACK TO THE WEBSITE TO CLICK THAT LINK.
    For Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier, make sure UDP port 5353 (Bonjour) is open on your firewall. If you use Windows Firewall, follow the steps here. SHOOTSKIE, AGAIN, NEED TO GO TO WEBSITE TO CLICK LINK, BUT I AM HOOKED UP THROUGH A WIRED CONNECTION DO I STILL NEED THIS STUPID PORT STUFF?
    Otherwise, if you use other firewall software or hardware, check the software documentation on how to open UDP port 5353. IT IS SO COMPLETELY, RIDICULOUSLY LAME THAT "OPEN UP UDP PORT 5353" EVEN NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR GETTING MUSIC FROM YOUR COMPUTER ONTO YOUR TV."
    If you use Windows, try disabling services and startup items that may be conflicting. UHH, WHY WOULD I EVER HAVE WINDOWS? I SPEND 10-12 HOURS A DAY ON WINDOWS AT WORK, CRASHING MAYBE ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. I SPEND 30-60 MINS A DAY ON MY iMAC, CRASHING 1-2 TIMES A DAY. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, WINDOWS ***** TOO. TECHNOLOGY *****. PERIOD.

    Hi everyone. I am typing here on my brand new 24-inch iMac. So far it's great! However, the issue I had with the Apple TV is unrelated to the iMac itself, and I wanted to let everyone know what the solution was to my Apple TV issue.
    Until early this Sunday morning when I discovered this solution, my iMac would not sync with the Apple TV. This problem began after the most recent Apple TV software update. I neglected to mention in my previous posts that my Apple TV was connected to the Internet via an Ethernet connection.
    Prior to the most recent software update, I believe that my Apple TV communicated wirelessly with my iMac and via an Ethernet connection to the iTunes store. With the latest Apple TV update, the sync between the iMac and the Apple TV does not work if the Apple TV is connected to the Ethernet. My solution was as follows:
    1. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Apple TV. Do not reconnect.
    2. Restore Apple TV to the factory settings. I'm not in front of my Apple TV at the moment but navigating through the Apple TV menu to reset the settings was fairly straightforward for me.
    3. After resetting the factory settings and following the instructions, I was able to see the Apple TV in my computer's iTunes, but I was stuck with the super old software version from summer '07 when I bought this thing (i.e. before you could rent movies or watch anything in HD on the Apple TV).
    4. Look for the software update on the Apple TV (again, fairly intuitive by navigating the menu on your TV) and download/install the latest update.
    5. If your problem was due to having your Apple TV connected to the Ethernet, I think this should do the trick! It should now show up on your computer's iMac and it should automatically start syncing your iTunes content although I did have to direct it to sync my photos.
    p.s. Does anyone know how I can let Apple know that this issue exists with the latest Apple TV update? The guys at the Genius Bar at the mall I went to in Pleasanton, CA couldn't find any notes in their knowledge database about issues with the latest Apple TV software update and I think it's important that Apple knows about this.
    p.s.s. I think Apple should make all of us, their consumers, more aware of how to let Apple know about these issues because this issue was so frustrating and throughout the whole troubleshooting process I felt very helpless and would have felt so much more positive about Apple if I just had a forum in which I could let Apple know I was having this issue (above and beyond this user forum through which I ended up losing much of my iTunes album artwork after following one person’s advice).
    So if that forum exists, please let me know and let's brainstorm as to how to get more people like me to be aware of that forum so other people don't experience the same frustrations I have experienced.
    p.s.s.s. I haven't tried reconnecting my Apple TV to the Ethernet in my home. While it will probably be slower to rent and download movies wirelessly, I don't care that much as I'm thinking I will start renting movies through Netflix instead and just use the Apple TV to watch my homemade videos on my TV.
    But I am curious, why does Apple charge so frickin' much to rent a movie on the Apple TV? $4.99 for an HD movie? Everyone who has NetFlix tells me it is sooooo much cheaper and very easy to use. And to be honest, this makes me mad. Not that there is a cheaper option for renting movies/TV shows. That makes me happy. What makes me mad is that Apple charges so much to rent a movie when it doesn’t benefit them and it doesn’t benefit me. I think Apple does a lot of good things, but I think being able to rent (or even better, to subscribe to) media that you can watch (almost) instantaneously in your home is the wave of the future and still relatively new. If Apple wants to make money off of this service in the long term, they need to start by offering movies for super cheap, even taking a loss off the price they pay the production companies if they have to, because right now it's still all about adoption (i.e. getting as many people as Apple possibly can to think about renting a movie or *please please* a TV show through Apple ).
    So I guess I feel like it's a lose-lose for Apple and me. Through Apple, to rent a movie (or *please please* a TV show) I will pay much more than I would with Netflix. But if Apple can walk away with an untarnished reputation after creating a special headphone input into their original iPhone device to make extra money out of nothing, then maybe they can do no wrong and we just need to keep blindly giving them our moolah? Can somebody please let me know how I could get a better job or at least a raise so that I can give Apple all of the money they are trying to squeeze out of me?
    p.s.s.s.s. I am soooo sorry Apple, but the other day when I was at your store looking for the Firewire adaptor I needed to transfer files from my Firewire 400 on my old iMac to my new iMac via the Firewire 800 adaptor, I just couldn’t stomach the huge markup. I imagine you guys make a ton of money by ridiculously marking up your accessories over what one could pay elsewhere.
    I know the rest of your consumers are happy to pay $50 for buying the cable in your store and I would like to apologize right now for using your in-store computers to search for the alternative pricing which I found for $19.99. I don’t believe any of your other customers saw me doing this, but if they did, please accept my sincere apologies. In the current economic environment, reputation is everything and it would be unfortunate for all of us if the Apple masses felt they were being taken advantage of.
    Wow, I think I’ve got some issues with Apple that I need to work out. Anyone know a good therapist?

  • I have connected a new (set up for mac) seagate external HD and although file sharing is turned on the HD doesn't show up on any of the other computers on our network??????  Please help!!!!!

    I have connected a new (set up for mac) seagate external HD and although file sharing is turned on the HD doesn't show up on any of the other computers on our network??????  Please help!!!!!

    If the HD is setup for Mac and plugged into the AE.. with file sharing on, it should work.
    Try manually mounting the disk.
    In finder use go, connect to server, and type in AFP://AEName or AFP://AEIPaddress.. where you replace what I wrote with the actual name or actual IP.
    Later versions of Mac OS.. like ML for some strange reason have their preferences set by default to not show network drives.. change finder preference to see everything.

  • Transition doesn't show up. Any ideas?

    I put a transition in between two non video clips but the transition doesn't show up. Any ideas? I've adjusted the time every which way for both clips and the transition itself as well as tried other transitions. Thanks!

    Locate the downloaded file:
    1. try to launch the file and see if you get prompts.
    2. drag the downloaded file to applications folder

  • I don't own any Apple devices. I used to though. How do I access my music in the cloud?

    The dilema is in the title. I don't own any Apple devices. I used to though. I owned a nano I bought music for through iTunes. But now I own an Android, and a PC. But I'd still like to access and listen to my previously purchased music that I bought through iTunes. However, I can't access the iCloud. I downloaded the iCloud Control Panel for PC. It asks me to sign in with my Apple ID. But when I try to sign in, it says I'm not signed up for the iCloud. But there isn't anywhere to sign up online! Unless I just haven't found it yet. I can't find anywhere to sign up online or in iTunes. The lack of tech support and the difficulty of use is precisely why I switched to Android and PC. I just want the music I PURCHASED.

    Hi there Ginger,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that should help you resolve the iTunes Match issue that you're running into, where most of your music isn’t appearing in iCloud.
    How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
    Songs appear to be missing
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
    Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • Will my Apple ID work for any apple device

    does my Apple ID work for any apple device can i sign in on any apple device

    Absolutely. Assuming that you are talking about your own devices. You can sign in on another person's devices, but it's not advisable to do so.

  • Can I log in to iCloud without having any Apple devices?

    I don't own any Apple devices. I am using Windows 8.1. I have iTunes 11.1.3.8 on my Windows HP laptop. I've subscribed to iMatch to store my iTunes songs on iCloud. When iTunes was automatically updated, iCloud 3.0 Control Panel was also installed on my Windows 8.1 computer. When I tried to sign in to iCloud I received this message:
    "Cannot Sign Up. This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud Account."
    I'm confused. I thought that I had an iCloud account throught my iMatch subscription.
    Do I have to own an Apple device in order to log in to iCloud? How do I log in to iCloud? How do I set up an iCloud Account?
    I tried to call Apple Support about this issue, but they asked for my Apple Serial Number, and I don't have one because I don't own an Apple device.
    I hope someone can help me with this issue. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

    You have to have an Apple device to create an iCloud account (not just subscribe to a service like iTiunes Match).  You have to create your iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

  • HT2693 How come my apple map doesn't show the map on apple standard map.. However, it does work on google map. I was trying to close the apple maps, restart, and many other ways but still didn't work. Please help me.

    A standard map on my iPhone 4s is suddenly not working. It shows the blue dot but it doesn't show the actual Map where I can see the streets.
    I don't know how to fix this problem. I did try so many ways even restarted iPhone but still not working... Please help me out.

    Hi JinHDK,
    Yes I worked previously but it's now not working. I did double click home botton and terminate the maps many time but still not working.
    The standard maps just not show any route only the blue dot (my location.)  I really don't know what to do. Btw, I used to live in SF but now I'm traveling to Thailand. One of my friend is using iPhone 4S as well but his maps is working. So I guess it is about its application on my phone...
    Thank you.

  • DVDStudioPro doesn't show graphic subtitles any more

    My DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2 has shown graphic subtitles (tifs) until kind of recently.
    Even earlier created projects doesn't show them any more.
    What happend. Has anybody else noticed this thing?
    How can I make them visible again?
    I'm on OSX 10.6.8

    There shouldn't be a need to mouse over the tab to see what the title is. The space is wasted otherwise, so why not display the title there whether or not the menu bar is also displayed?
    I attached a picture showing exactly what I'm talking about, excuse the quick ms paint job.
