AirPlay Mirroring from ML to Apple TV has 3 minute lag

I have an iMac (Late 2011) running 10.8.2 and an Apple TV (3rd gen) running 5.1. When I turn on AirPlay Mirroring, it eventually starts, and when it does it has a tremendous lag that refreshes every 3 minutes or so. I have the settings optimized for the TV. Apple TV works fine when mirroring iPad (3rd gen) and iPhone 4S. I would love to sit on my couch and use my computer, but this is making it impossible.

Welcome to the Apple Community Philip.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

AirPlay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV intermittent sound drop-off

I can't stream iTunes or Spotify to my Apple TV without getting intermittent sound drop-out (say every 30 seconds) when I use AirPlay mirroring through my Mac. This odd thing is streaming through my iPad or IPhone to Apple TV is perfectly fine; so is using my Mac to stream to my Sonos speakers. I can even stream iTunes pefectly fine through only the Apple TV alone - so it's nothing to do with my broadband connection
I have today performed upgrades to the Apple TV and my Airport Express firmware but the problem persists. Anyone else experiencing this or found a solution?

Hi, same here for me. Using AirPlay for streaming music from my Mac Mini (iTunes latest version) to my ATV2 (software latest version) has intermittent drop-outs (about every 10 to 15 sec for 5 to 10 sec). At the same time streaming to my Airport Express station in the kitchen works fine. Using the VOX player streaming from the Mac to the ATV works fine, only that I can only stream to one destination. Tried streaming from iTunes to ATV only, the problem remains. Streaming video - even HD - works fine. Using the ATV to select music from my Mac's iTunes library works fine, too. Still I want to stream from my iTunes on the Mac to several destiations including the ATV. Seems to me to be a problem of iTunes. I think the effect appeared after an update of iTunes or OSX, because it had worked fine before, already.

HT201335 Can you Airplay Mirror from iMac to Apple TV?

I want to play a DVD on my iMac and airplay mirror to my Apple TV. Is this possible?

If you have a newer Mac yes, I don't remember the cutoff date but I think it's mid 2011.
If yours is older than that there's a program called Airparrot you can download that will let older Macs do Airplay. For me it worked great and it's only $10. It has a 20 minute trial so you can make sure it works before you buy it.

No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV

Hi Community,
it happens that after disconnecting the aiplay mirroring the next streaming into the apple tv doesn't play the audio. it stays instead in the speakers of the Mac.
i tried to change the output on audio preferences but i can't click on it! the selection just bounce back to internal speakers.
the only way to fix this is to restart.

This works: clicking "Restart". Thx! Please note, Apple bug fixers....

No Audio in AirPlay mirroring from my mac (OS-ML) to Apple TV

I get a picture but no audio.
I saw this discussion:
No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV
BUT in my case I can't change the sound settings to AirPlay.
When I click it with the cursor, it tosses me back to Internal Speakers, and won't let me select AirPlay.
Any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat.
Found an instruction elsewhere to flip audio to AppleTV BEFORE switching to Airplay Mirroring. Should not be necessary (several extra clicks where one should suffice), but if that's what I have to do, OK...
But as these users are reporting... it doesn't work. I click on the AppleTV option and it keeps reverting to Internal Speakers. I'm not able to actuall select the AppleTV for audio output.
So, ***?

No Airplay Mirroring from Ipad

As many other posters in the community, I have trouble with mirroring and connecting to AppleTV, (no mirroring option appears....)
Even though my Ipad 2 (128Gb....) says I'm on the same network as the AppleTV, i can only send (or stream...) photos or movies from Netflix to AppleTV ..... no problem...(I know you can do that from within AppleTv... just trying out this option...)
I can't get to mirror images I need, from Dropbox or Numbers or Keynote or Pages, when I need to do presentations in the office....??????
Using IOs 8.0.2, on it and the latest AppleTV software, I can only do this from My IPhone 5..... which has no problem synching with it..... but the reduced screen doesn't help, since it becomes akward and cumbersome to handle .... not to mention it seems rather desperate.... (not good clientwise...)
This is obviously a glitch in IOs software....or am I missing something? I've used previous IOs software for this purpose before, with no problem...
Can anyone give me a hint to the solution..... Or am I just another Apple Sucker, who misses Steve Jobs's management and his high standards of quality?
Regards Apple...ites!!!

HT4437 how to use airplay mirroring between ipad3 and apple tv without any internet or wifi

I do presentation and a lot of the time, there is no wifi or internet connection available in the room (school, church, community center).
Is there a way to use airplay mirroring so I can use my powerpoint or my keynotes from my ipad to the apple tv?
I also have a macbookpro, I know there is a way to create your own network with the macbookpro, how don't remember how, but would prefer not to have to carry my macbookpro.
thanks
Christian

You can stream the content with a local connection. You dont need "internet", but need to connect the apple tv to a wireless router(plugged in with no internet) or hardline. Then connect the ipad wirelessly to the same router. Its a basic internet setup without the "internet ethernet cord" plugged in.

(audio) Mirroring from Mini to Apple TV

Why am I losing audio when mirroring to my apple TV from my computer?
I can get a great image on both, but drop sound on my desktop as soon as I connect and can't even pull up audio on the TV. Then when I switch to multiple in iTunes, I drop mirroring.
I would prfer to keep audio at the desktop.
Thanks!

Apple TV only supports Airplay Mirroring with 2 iOS devices: iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
Unfortunately the iMac is not supported

AirPlay Mirroring from 10.8 Won't Start Sending Video (or Audio)

This question may have been answered, but searches for me keep coming up with people who don't have the AirPlay Mirroring icon showing up in the menu bar, which isn't the problem I'm having.
In my case, the Mac is compatible (latest-gen Air, 10.8.5), and the Apple TV (3rd gen, latest software) shows up in the list in the menu bar and Displays pref pane (as well as the Sound Output pref pane).
However, if I select the ATV, the Mac's screen resolution will change to what looks like 1080p with no corresponding response on the ATV (I have it set to conference room mode), and the right side of the menu bar and Displays pref pane both hang on a beachball for a consistent period of about 15 seconds. After a fixed timeout, the AirPlay Mirroring request is cancelled and the Mac goes back to the default resolution and no mirroring setup.
A smiliar thing happens if I select the ATV in the Sound Output pref pane--no sound from the ATV, and the pref pane hangs on a beachball for a while before eventually switching back to the internal speakers.
The devices are both on the same WiFi network, which shouldn't be overloaded or have any interference, but it is a corporate network, so I'm assuming that there is some port or protocol being blocked that is interfering with the actual mirroring connection even though the discovery is working okay.
My question, then, is:
1) Is there anything I'm overlooking that would cause this to work?
2) Assuming no, does anybody know what port might be blocked that would cause this behavior? I want to know what, specifically, I'm complaining about when I go to the higher-ups in the IT department to try and get it bypassed.

Hi felix69,
Welcome to the Apple
Discussions
iChat uses ports above port 1024 and consequently
like an On-line game needs these ports enabled in the
modem and any router you have..
iChat also uses the Quicktime Streaming speed and
this needs to be set to 1.5Mbps/T1/LAN in System
Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab
Can you tell us what you have done so far ?

Does Airplay mirroring only work with Apple TV, or can I use it with my mac mini?

I already have a Mac Mini (2011 model) hooked up to my TV via HDMI, an AppleTV 2 seem redundant except for the fact it support Airplay Mirroring....is there anyway to use the Mac Mini to mirror my iPad 2?

Hey There
This would be a great enhancement. I also have a mac Mini hooked up , as i guess do many people, seems wrong to have to spend another £100 to achieve a WiFi solution.
This functionalty really would make the Mac Mini with iPad a perfect media center solution.
Ane we could control watching BBC iPlayer from the sofa.

Problems with Airplay audio from Ipad to Apple Tv 2

Hi
I recently bought an apple tv 2 mainly to use it to airplay content from my ipad. Video streams perfectly the problem is with audio, every single time I play any song it stops playing for a second or 10 quite often. I cant play a single song without getting this annoying silents. I thought it might be a problem with my Wifi although the router is pretty close to the ipad so I changed routers but still the same problem also Video streams great, Ive seen complete 2 hour movies with no problems at all. I got an update to the apple tv 2 today and thought that might solve the problem but it didnt.
¿Does anyone else have this problem?
¿Does anyone know what it might be?
Thanks for your help.

Fixed this.
I started fooling around with the Wifi and noticed that as soon as the signal was down to one or two bars the video also had problems when streaming and also had problems streaming from my Macbook. Thats when I realized the problem was not iOS dependant. So I went to a shop bought two nice and shiny N-Wireless routers connected one upstairs where my internet connection is and setup the second one as a repeater bridge downstairs 5mts away from the apple TV so that it gets full signal. Dont have any problems with Audio nor Video since.
Cheers
