Airplay instructions on AppleTV Screensaver

I have turned Airplay off in Settings. When my screensaver for Apple TV activates, A black square keeps appearing with instructions how to access Airplay and I can't get rid of it. Any ideas?

Settings > AirPlay > Conference Room Display > Off.

How do I stream photos from my iPhone onto my AppleTV screensaver?

I have AirPlay and an AppleTV connected to my home network. Thanks!

If you want the photos from your phone to act as the screensaver, you'll need to download them to your mac/PC and select them in the iTunes advanced menu to share to the Apple TV. After they are shared via iTunes you can select the photos you want to use for the screensaver from the Screensaver menu options.

AppleTV Screensaver not working

I recently set up a completely new wireless home network. Finally, after updating router firmware, all of my devices seem to be connecting to the router and communicating with one another except for the Homesharing between my AppleTV (2nd gen) and my computer (MacBook Pro, 2009). I have done everything Apple says to do about a dozen times - I've turned on homesharing on my MacBook and enabled it on AppleTV. I've selected which photo albums I want to appear in the AppleTV screensaver. I've turned all of these functions off, reset AppleTV, rebooted my computer and iTunes, and reset the router. STILL - i seems AppleTV is not recognizing my computer on the network. Can anyone help? I'm ready to tear my hair out here!

Hey irenefromroseville,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are not able to update the Apple TV with a new update. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

How to shut off airplay floating dialogue on screensaver

Apple TV offers many fine screensavers, but all of them are partially obscured by a floating black Airplay instruction dialogue. How can I cancel or shut off this intrusive item so I can enjoy the pictures? I tried turning Airplay off, but this did not help.

Settings > AirPlay > Conference Room Display > Off.

Unable to relay audio to AirPlay speakers VIA AppleTV.

Hi,
So I just bought a Pioneer SMA4 Airplay speaker, which in itself is working perfectly (amazing sound BTW);
- iPhone > Spotify/AirPlay audio/video to > Pioneer: Check
- Mac > iTunes audio to > Pioneer: Check
- AppleTV2 > AirPlay audio/video to > Pioneer: Check
However, when I send audio/video from either iPhone/Mac to AppleTV2, it does not relay the audio to the (default selected) AirPlay speaker. The AppleTV then just sends the audio to my TV speakers (over HDMI).
(All software/firmware on all devices is up to date.)
Background;
Two reasons for doing this:
- I want to be able to watch movies on my Mac and stream the audio/video over AppleTV the AirPlay speaker.
- I would like to set this up as a multi (two) room solution; one speaker on optical audio + one speaker via AirPlay.
Hoping for a solution, or I'll return the AirPlay speaker...
Cheers, Joost

Ok thanks! I would say it is a design flaw, but that’s my 2 cents.

Photo that show up on default AppleTV screensaver

I have had my Apple TV since they first came out when you synced the music, movies and photos. At some point the AppleTV software changed that process to full streaming not syncing. I am now stuck with the photos that were on the AppleTV for it's default screensaver (which I love and keep running with just music playing). I want to change the pictures. Does anyone know how I can do this?

How can I sync them again. The only options I have are to stream under shared photos. Is there a setting I am missing?
sounds like at some point you broke the link to itunes and re-linked it as a shared library which only allows streaming.
remove any itunes link and re-add it, but this time as a full syncing link.

Question on AppleTV Screensaver and Mac Mini

I saw a Apple TV in action and liked it. Decided to buy a mini instead so I could have more use out of it. The mini is my HTPC.
Does anyone know what the screensaver is on the Apple TV and where to download it?
I searched through the screensaver downloads, but since I don't know the name, I can't find it.
The screensaver floats your pictures 15-20 of them up the screen, then it does a 3d rotation of them all and then different pictures come down the screen. I do not know how else to describe it. I basically just want the screensaver from a appletv

Well, I haven't actually seen the Apple TV screen saver, but Leopard has a screen saver that sounds the same. Go under "Pictures" to choose some pictures to use - I use the last twelve months smart folder from my iPhoto library - and then, under the preview of the screen saver, to the bottom left there are three icons. Select the middle one (called "collage" when you hover your mouse pointer over it) to get that screen saver effect.

AppleTV screensaver in Leopard?

The AppleTV has a great (Core Animation) screensaver which has photos floating in a layered, 3D way, spinning and moving vertically.
Is this available under Leopard or anyone know where I can get it for my macbook? Thanks!

I have the same problem with two new Macs (iMac 24 Alum and MacMini Core2). Interestingly, it works if the ScreenSaver is in "Test" mode. But once the Screen Saver is activiated "for real" the Apple Remote gives me the same problem you have. I predict/hope that this will be resolved in an update soon.

AirPlay to multiple AppleTVs - will sound be in sync?

I am currently researching options on how to get music to multiple rooms synchronously. I don't need any fancy multiroom "play different music in every room" options, I just want the same music to play in every room, and I don't want to lay cables.
The new AppleTV with AirPlay from an old MacBook running iTunes seems like a cheap-ish solution, but I haven't found the answer to a very important question:
If I stream music from iTunes to multiple (up to five) AppleTVs, will they be absolutely in sync? I don't want to walk from one room into another only to have the rhythm disrupted.

As has been said, yes, it just works.
What happens is that, when multiple speakers (this is the term used in iTunes for multiple outputs) are selected, the music is delayed for a second or two, after selecting play, before it starts playing. This is so that all the speakers can respond to iTunes saying they are ready for the request to play.
It can be a little disconcerting at first when manually controlling the playback to have no sound for a second while waiting for the system to catch up with what you have requested.

Why can't I airplay to multiple appletv

I run a church and want to be able to send my ipad keynote presentation to multiple appletvs in different parts of the building. There does not appear to be any way to send the signal to more than one appletv at a time. Is this correct, and if so will the new appletv add this feature so that it becomes a more usable experience, I love the fact that I can transmit my itunes around the building to multiple airport express and play them through different audio units, but the video thing is frustrating!

That is correct, AirPlay is a one-to-one device pairing. You cannot send it to multiple AppleTVs. There has been no announcement of a new AppleTV model at this time.

Airplay slow between AppleTV and late 2013 MacBook Pro w/Mavericks

I recently bought a nice new (expensive) MacBook Pro (late 2013). Also bought an AppleTV and was looking forward to using AirPlay so I could use my TV as a screen for my new MacBook. The setup of the MacBook and the AppleTV was uneventful, but when I went to connect to AirPlay I had very poor performance. Many times I could not get AirPlay to even show up on the AppleTV. Very frustrating...
I checked Google and Apple Forums for this issue but couldn't really find anything helpful.
I checked for updates on both the Mac and the AppleTV and both were up-to-date so I tried restoring the AppleTV. The restore process downloaded and reinstalled the latest AppleTV updates but still no love.
Keep in mind this is all over WiFi. I checked the status of the wireless network on the AppleTV and it had 5 bars (good signal strength). Then I thought about checking the configuration of the WiFi. I have a Cisco/LinkSys EA2700 Router/WiFi Access Point. I logged in and check out the configuration of the WiFi. Under the Wireless->Wireless Settings page I found that the 5 MHz WiFi had an option for 'Channel Width' this has three settings, Auto (the default) 20MHz only and 40Mhz only. I am assuming that the AppleTV and the MacBook prefer the 5MHz network if available.
My thought at this point was that streaming HDMI over WiFi is probably going to need a lot of bandwidth, I changed the option from Auto to 40MHz Only to force the WiFi to use as much radio frequency carrier bandwith as possible (hope that's not too technical). I set this option, restarted the router and BAM everything started working. The connection was almost immediate and the streaming was fantastic. I tested it by starting NetFlix in a browser and put it on the TV (yes I know Netflix has an app on AppleTV. This was just a simple performance test to see if there was in latency or frame loss. None, it worked flawlessly.
I wanted to post this because as I said I really couldn't find anything that helped get this problem resolved. I hope that this helps others.

He meant, this forum does not have anything to do with notebooks like MacBook Pro (though they keep coming here!) the Pro is in Workstation Professional models and 65 lbs which are not portable or laptops.
