Airplay from iMac to AppleTV will only share video, no audio.

I am on Mountain Lion on my iMac, with a new AppleTV. Sometimes screenshare will work, sometimes it will only share video. I can't figure out why it happens, going into Sys Prefs won't let me select audio for AppleTV.

Can you select Apple TV as audio BEFORE you start the mirroring, this is often the problem.
Regards

Trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV

I'm running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I'm having trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV (2nd Gen). It used to work fine, but for some reason it just stopped responding. I can see my media on my iMac from AppleTV and I can see AppleTV from my iMac when attempting to use AirPlay. However, when I try to pull or push media from my iMac to AppleTV it just stalls and never loads. AirPlay works fine from my iPhone and iPad with AppleTV - it's limited to my iMac only.
I'm using a Netgear R7000 wireless router and a Netgear AC120 WiFi Extender and as such, I have 4 available wireless networks (2 from the router and 2 from the extender / 2 - 2.4 GHz and 2 - 5 GHz). My internet access is great and my network performance is good across the board. All of my software/firmware is up to date (iMac, AppleTV and router/extenders). I've tried all combinations (mixing/matching) all of my wireless networks between devices (iMac/AppleTV) - nothing makes a difference (again, AirPlay works fine between my mobile devises/AppleTV). Netgear Genie has been making changes to my network settings as new firmware has been installed in both the router and extender. I'm guessing there is something screwy going on with the network settings on the iMac, but I can't figure it out.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm glad you got it all working. Out of interest, how do you (or your son) connect to the internet now? Is it just a dial-up connection? If it is, I am sure you know that, even if you get the Apple TV to share the connection, the speed will seriously limit the use of many of the Apple TV's features.
The Airport Extreme is a great router but you will need a DSL or cable modem as well as it won't connect to the internet without one. There are many great (and cheaper!) combined modem/routers available if your son wants to get a high-speed network up and running at lower cost. Any other computers, phones, games consoles etc that you may have in the house can then all connect easily.
I hope that I have helped a little and I will look out for future posts in case I can help again.

AppleTV will only play audio, not video

My AppleTV will only play audio, not video via Airplay. I've verified correct settings, reset iPad, AppleTV and router with no success. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What is it that you were playing, some providers block their content from AirPlay.

I downloaded the Final Cut Pro X trial but my movie is 17 minutes long but it will only Share to Quick time 6:55 minutes. How do I fix this and export the full 17 minutes?

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates?
If not, please do so.
You have not given us enough information with which to help you.
What are the properties of your source file that is presenting in the project with audio but no video?
Quickest way to gain that information is from brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
I am looking for
video compression
audio compression
frame size
frame rate
interlaced or progressive
file extension
pixel aspect ratio
What does the file's thumbnail look like in Project Assets after it is imported....thumbnail with no image (gray), thumbnail with only an audio icon
within it, or other? On the Timeline, what do you see represented in Video 1....nothing as opposed to Audio 1 where you see the audio portion of
the file?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1? Are you running the programs as
administrator?
Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Let us start here. Based on your reply details, we will customize troubleshooting strategy for you.
Thanks.

Music videos won't airplay from imac to apple tv all other content including movies will???

title say it all, cheers

I think it's something to do with playing to multiple sources from imac (imac + apple tv) songs work fine but when a music video comes on it switches to imac only and cant then be sent to apple tv without first disabling multiple sources.

Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring (iMac to AppleTV) Not Working

Mountain Lion successfully installed on my iMac.
AppleTV sucessfully networked with my iMac (at least where iTunes and iPhoto are concerned.)
But AirPlay icon is NOT appearing in my menu bar. Any clues as to why this is?
In System Preferences, I've checked "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" but still nothing.
Below is a screenshot of my menu bar. Thanks in advance!

I agree, what is the point of making an operating system compatible with a particular computer and then arbitrarily disabling the most meaningful features. It seems like Apple is once again forcing us to wastefully update equipment through less than honest means. Any update they have should have a clear list of what will not be relevant to you with te equipment you are using. I would not have purchased Mountail Lion if I had been aware that AirPlay would not work. And before someone tells me that I just needed to check to look and it was clear. I went so far as to make sure my graphics card was compatible. Which is really the only thing I can see being a reasonable excuse for disabling a feature such as this.

Streaming MOG from iMac to AppleTV

I signed up for MOG audio streaming and currently play it through the iMAC speakers, however, I have a sound system with HDMI connection sitting in the same room. If I purchase AppleTV and connect it to my wired network (gigabit) and HDMI to my sound system, will I be able listen to audio through my audio without sacrificing sound quality due to AppleTV solution regardless what the input source is?
In other words, is AppleTV a suitable solution for music playing from iMAC via external sound system?
Thanks.
-AP_

I checked again and I have activated both the
- AppleTv (Settings > Airtunes: On) and
- iTunes (8.0.2) (Preferences > Devices > Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes: On)
but nothing happened. Still I cannot see that box on the bottom right of the iTunes window. Maybe a restart of both devices would help... No other clue

Airplay from iMac dropping....

My 2011 iMac drops the airplay signal every 10-20 seconds. Airplay from my iphone & ipad work fine with no dropping so the problem is definitley related to the imac and not my wirless connection. I reset the pram & smc, this made no difference. I deleted the airport file in library-prefences-system configuraion, and this solves the problem for a while but then it returns within 24 hours. I can see by looking at the wireless status that it drops the signal everytime the imac searches for new netorks which is every few seconds. This is driving me mad, please someone help?!!!

Have you tried to change the channel on your WiFi router/access point?

No, I am not wrong but thanks for playing.
You need to install airframe
Perhaps you could have mentioned this in your first post because it is not a standard part of AirPlay.
Please don't answer questions, when you don't know the answer.
I do know the answer which is why I responded (though now I wonder why I did).
You should contact the author of Airframe instead of being rude.
and it does not seem to be in the (US) App store anymore.

Burned DVD on iMac, but it will only playback on Microsoft, not on iMac

I have burned a Philips DVD+RW on iMac and it will not play back on DVD Player, which says "Supported disc not available". However, the DVD plays back without any difficulty on Microsoft LapTop. Any ideas what the problem may be?

Can you start the Editor or Organizer from Launch Pad?
Can you see the application correctly installed from Finder:
Applications >> Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 >> Support Files >> Photoshop Elements 12 Editor

I used to be able to airplay from Ipad1 to AppleTV, but now it doesnt support it. Why not?

When I first got Apple TV about 2 years ago, I was able to airplay from my Ipad 1. It wasnt called mirroring back then, but it worked the same. Now it doesnt support that. Whats up with that? Is there a way to work around that?

Verizon is not doing that it is the mail that is doing that.
Check your device settings for email and read the owners manual as to how to set up mail to download. How you want it, leave on server, etc.
Good Luck

IMac disk drive will run DVD but not audio cd

My IMac disk drive will not recognize a cd, it will,however, run a DVD just fine. Help!

Most any external reader/writer will do - I've used one for years. And they are generally less expensive than the Superdrives + labor.

HT1539 Copied Skyfall from the digital copy - plays but no video, no audio

I'm running W7 and iTunes 11.0.1.12. iTunes says it downloaded the file at 2.3GB and it plays but I get a blank screen and no audio. All other movie files play just fine.

Hi Shippster,
Ok. in stages so that we can see where they might be adrift.
They should Add Buddies by using the + sign at the bottom of the Buddy List.
The choose Add Person
In the pop out Choose New Person
AND Then they need to choose the Account type first.
(It is possible to Add AIM name as @mac ones and vice versa. AIM servers where the Buddy list is held can not tell if it is a valid name or not. It will presume the Buddy is Off line if type and spelling are wrong)
Also in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
In here they should select their screen name on the left (Click once)
On the right they should select the Security tab.
This should be set to Allow All whilst testing (later when names are spelt right or the right type they can Allow Buddies only)
Some more info with pics http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page6.html
So, so far we have the fact they should check the View Menu to Show Video and Audio Status items to see other peoples camera a Audio icons.
They need to change their camera if they are the end with the Canon.
They need to check their Buddy list to make sure they added their Buddies as the right account type and spelt those Buddies Screen Names correctly.
