Airplay Lag on iPhone 4

Updated to iOS 4.3 on all my apply gizmos.. ATV, iPad, iPhone4 iPods etc... Streaming to and from my iPhone 4 is Laggy... Takes a very long time to load and once loaded plays 1 second and has to rebuffer... plays another second... rebuffers (again for a very long time)... Simply doesn't work...
To and from the iPad (first one) works well and with fast loading time... Also just tried on my wife's iphone4... same thing...
Honestly streaming to the iPhone for me isn't much of an issue as I would be using the iPad for that, however streaming FROM the phone to the ATV was a feature I was really hoping for, as it stands now, useless...

Does your router support 5GHz? If so, your Apple TV 2 and iPad support it, while the iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4 do not.

AirPlay YouTube from iPhone to AppleTV over LTE w/ No Hotspot

The goal:
My goal is to AirPlay Youtube videos from the iPhone 6+ on iOS8.1 to the AppleTV v3 on 7.0.1 over LTE without using the iPhone as a Hotspot.
The problem:
The problem is that streaming video from internet sources does not function. However, I can do AirPlay mirroring of browsing websites over LTE. I suspect that I am making a mistake in my network configuration OR that what I am attempting to do is not possible.
The hardware:
To achieve my goal, I am using three hardware components: (1.) the iPhone 6+, (2.) the AppleTV v3, and (3.) a TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N150 Travel Router.

What I am able to do:
Use the AppleTV remote APP on my iPhone to control the AppleTV.
Use AirPlay to stream music on my iPhone to the AppleTV.
Use AirPlay to stream video on my iPhone to the AppleTV.
Use AirPlay to do iPhone mirroring.
Browse the internet over LTE and mirror various webpages to the AppleTV.
Load the YouTube APP on the iPhone and mirror YouTube video search results to the AppleTV.
What I am NOT able to do:
Load video from YouTube and have it play over AirPlay.
The "loading spinner" is displayed on the television AppleTV and on the iPhone.
After a time, the video fails to load and this error message appears in the YouTube video placeholder on the iPhone "Playback error / Tap to retry." At the same time, this error message appear on the television: "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later."
If, while the video is loading, I switch AirPlay FROM the AppleTV TO the iPhone, the video loads fine and I can watch it on my iPhone.
Any suggestions or insights would be appreciated!

Hey,
I'm using the exact same setup for my car, and am facing the exact issue.
I suspect the problem is from how YouTube app works. All the "What I am able to do" and "What I am NOT able to do" make me believe that when Airplay-ing a video with YouTube app on iPhone, it sends the url to Apple TV, asking Apple TV to download the video directly over its own network. With our network setup, the router is not connected to any internet source, resulting in endless spinner on screen.
I'm not sure if there's any workaround solution without turning on Hot Spot... please let me know if you found any.

Hi jaredfox06,
If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
Try these steps first
Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
If you don't, try these steps:
Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

Airplay on iOS8 (iPhone and iPads) not showing any of my Apple TVs or base stations on network!

I recently upgraded to iOS8 on my iphone5 and 2 iPad Airs (most recent iPad).
When I have a video to watch and want to stream it to any of my apple tv's, the icons for these do not show up on the airplay button. The only option is "airplay" which doesn't connect with anything. Any sometime when I open the video, there is no airplay button!
I've restarted my Apple time capsule and upgraded the firmware and I've upgraded the firmware in all of my apple TVs as well.
When I try to connect with an iPad that had iOS7, everything works fine and the airplay button is available and shows all of my apple TVs and Base Stations that are networked.
Anyone else having this problem?

IPhone 5 wont setup airplay via Bluetooth. iPhone 5s will successfully setup airplay via Bluetooth.

iPhone 5 wont setup airplay via Bluetooth. iPhone 5s will successfully setup airplay via Bluetooth.
Both iPhones are 7.1.

Is the Apple TV up to date?
Note: airplay still requires both to be on the same wifi network. The bluetooth feature is only for discovery, in place of using bonjour, and most useful for business/school networks.

Why cant you do airplay mirroring on iphone 3gs

why cant you do airplay mirroring on iphone 3gs?????

Rudegar wrote:

kinda like the Siri thing
I don't think its the CPU. That's what apple would like us all to believe.
Seeing as Siri can be run on an iPhone 4, it proves that is incorrect.
Anyway to answer your question the reason we can't do airplay mirroring on the iphone 3gs/4 is because apple wont let us have it. Because it was used as a new feature in the 4s. So it wouldn't look good for them to release it for older phones aswell.
I love Apple but hate them at the same time.
They should change their name to Marmite.

How can I activate airplay icon in iPhone 4S? I don't have it

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    5.    Restart your router.
    6.    Restart your mobile device.
