Airplay from Iphone 3GS stops as soon as screen turns off!

When I play fe. a Youtube film from my Iphone 3GS via Airplay to my Apple TV, it stops as soon as the screen of the iphone turns off, or when I switch to a different program.
This is very annoying as this means that I have to touch the screen every 30 seconds to prevent it of going to standby.
Is there a solution? This can't be normal!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes and no.
It's normal that it should stop sending AirPlay when you switch to another App, only limited apps can truly multitask such as phone, music, etc, the rest are simply paused (and pausing when AirPlay is in progress disconnects AirPlay)
It isn't normal that AirPlay is disconnected when the screen sleeps, it doesn't do it on any of my devices, although I have seen it mentioned before but don't recall a solution being mentioned.
Any suggestions I could make would merely be fishing, such as whether your passcode lock is on/off, mine id off......

    Hi,
    Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
    If so start here
    Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
    Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.

  • HT4859 If I backup to iCloud from iPhone 3GS, can I delete all my photos off my iPhone and be able to view them from the computer?

    My memory is full, if I back up to iCloud using my iPhone 3GS can I delete the photos off my device and be able to restore my phone and get my contacts back and save photos onto a computer?

    Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
    Empty Camera Roll.
    Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
    This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
    The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.

  • My iphone 3gs stopped appearing in the sidebar

    A week or so ago my iphone 3gs stopped appearing in the itunes (10.7) sidebar when plugged in to my computer.  It shows in the itunes fuile menu and when I right click the itunes icon in my task bar.  It would still sync from the file menu.  Now, itunes has stopped syncing voice memos and because I cannot select sync options without iphone in the sidebar I cannot fix this.
    Any help is appreciated.

    You could try restoring and staying away from that backup.  I've had that happen to me before on my iPhone 4 from a corrupt backup.  You could be coincidently mixing the two issues, sounds to me like you got lucky and your phone is A-OK but you may be using a corrupt backup.

  • I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers.  Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

    I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine.  Yesterday I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion.  Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?  

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • HT201269 Transferred from iPhone 3GS to 4. Backed up and restored, perfect. New phone is connected to our wireless but is still giving me the "no service" in the upper left corner. Help????

    Transferred from iPhone 3GS to 4. Backed up and restored smoothly. Still getting a "no service" message in the upper left corner of new phone. Help?.....

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
    Where did you get the iPhone?

  • Upgrating from iPhone 3gs to  ios4

    Hey I am upgrating from iPhone 3gs to ios4 but I have noticed that the sim card are not the same . I am living in Lebanon middle east theirs isn t any micro sim card by the company but some friends told me that you can cut the old one to fit the ios4 is this true or theirs is another thing I have to do ?
    Rami Saba

    iOS4 is firmware update 4.0, which will be pre-installed on the iPhone 4 and will be available as a firmware update for the iPhone 3G and 3GS on 6/21.
    The iPhone 4 uses a micro-SIM card. I've seen some discussion about cutting a standard size SIM card down to the size of a micro-SIM card to be used with an iPad. If your carrier does not provide a micro-SIM card, they must not be an official carrier for the iPhone and if not, you have no other choice but to cut down a standard size SIM card to the size of a micro-SIM card.

  • MMS video from Iphone 3GS to Iphone 3G

    I know we can send pictures from Iphone 3GS to Iphone 3G, but can we send videos from 3GS to 3G. I wonder because the 3G doesn't have the video feature and therefore, I suspect it won't be able to play the video. Someone knows anything about this?
    Thanks in advance

    the 3G doesn't have a video RECORDING feature..... why would that prevent the 3G from being able to play videos? playing videos and capturing/recording videos are two completely different things.
    you suspect wrong.

  • Syncing Apps from iPhone 3GS to 4S

    Hey folks,
    I recently upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4S. I synced up my 3GS to iTunes and then connected my new phone. When I synced them I chose the restore from existing option. This worked great and I have all of my messages, email account settings, Photos etc etc. However, None of my Apps have been transferred to the new device. How do I get all of my Apps from the 3GS to the 4S??
    Any help would be great!

    Go to the App Store and reinstall them...

  • Transfer apps from iphone 3GS to iphone 4

    I am upgrading from iphone 3GS to iphone 4. I have several applications and music which I have bought from apple store with my appleID. Can these apps be moved to iphone 4 if I use the same appleID... or do I need to repeat these purchases again?

    You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups. When you get your new phone, you can either restore it from the backup of your 3GS or set it up as new, the choice is yours. Afterwards, just plug it in an sync.
