AirPlay Mirroring Issue

Hi,
Can anyone assist in advising how I can get my airplay mirroring icon to appear again in the top menu bar of the macbook pro? 
I've updated software on both apple tv and macbook pro.
Both devices are connected to the same network.
I know it works on this device as it has worked before.
I've taken it back to the store and they fixed it but never showed me what to do.
Any suggestions & ideas welcome. 
Thanks.

When you first go to System preferences/Displays you should see this: (with no TV connected,click box with arrow.
Then connect TV and you should see this. Click box with arrow
Then next box should come up click arrow
You may have to click detect, gather, whenever a mirrioing appears click that.
This should appear on the menu bar

  • Airplay Mirroring issues on Macbook Pro

    I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro and I am trying to connect Airplay mirroring. However, the option is not showing up in my system preferences. What is wrong?

  • AirPlay mirroring issue "No Device Detected" with MBP2011 and ATV2

    I upgraded my MBP (early 2011) to Mountain Lion.  I have an ATV2 (v4.2.1 software).  I am trying to AirPlay mirror from the MBP to the ATV but am getting a greyed out "No Device Detected" drop down.  Both MBP and ATV2 are on the same network. 

    The issue is the "Projectors" as well (VGA projectors even DVI), Now Apple is asking all Universities, Colleges and High Schools to spend millions of Dollars to replace all their Projectors so students and professors they can install Mountain lion in order to run their presentations...Apple Mail still with BBC Bug, and many other bugs are not fixed yet because their nightmare Steve Jobs who was push on them to fix these bugs is not alive, and yes they can do anything bad to destroy Apple.
    Mountain Lion is CRAP same thing as LION, Apple is doing worse and worse until Samsung will create a good machines for Microsoft, then Steve Jobs will wake up from his grave asking the bad administration of Apple why they are destroying it with such CRAP!!

  • HT204291 Airplay mirroring issue

    I connect my Ipad 2 to apple tv. Every thing works with my television until I press play. I get this error message “Watching videos with airplay or through HDMI isn’t currently available with this app” When I press stop, my Ipad sync to my tv

    Airplay on iPad 1 is only available for some Apps like YouTube.
    Mirroring is only available for iPad 2 and 3.

  • AirPlay mirroring issue after iOS 8.1 upgrade on iPhone 6

    I just purchased an Apple TV. When trying to mirror my iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1 to the tv, I get a black screen. If I reboot the iPhone I can use mirroring but it stops working if I disconnect from the Apple TV. My partners iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1 connects fine as does my iPad air.

    Yup. Same problem here. Had NO Problems with any of my TV hardware with my old iPhone 5 running iOS 8. But now, with my iPhone 6 - It just will not connect?!  The device will try but then the entire list of options in Airplay resets and it defaults back to my iPhone option. Sometimes it asks for the code and then just blinks resets again and does not connect. Oddly, every single other apple device I own (2012 Mac mini, 2013 MBP, iPad 3) ALL connect with NO problems! Could there be  something faulty within my iPhone 6 (i.e.: hardware)? I'm beginning to rule out software now... Since iOS 8.1.1 AND Yosemite work fine unilaterally across the rest of the Apple Products.
    Odd.  >>> Fix this Apple<<<< —  There's something up.
    So, like the rest of us now here - Any suggestions welcome. And as a point of reference —  I've been using Apple products since the Apple IIe and am a Certified Mac Tech (all be it a frustrated one) so, please don't request me to some standard list of simply resetting, restarting my device type suggestions... I've sincerely exhausted my options in that regard. Next step is to return the iPhone I guess.
    Many Thanks

  • HT204291 Issue with losing AirPlay Mirroring connectivity

    I have a brand new Mac running IOS6 with a 2nd generation Apple TV.
    My AirPlay Mirroring connects fine everytime I start it up.   The issue is that it drops its connection after 20 minutes every single time.
    When I go back to my computer the AirPlay Mirroring Icon is no longer there.
    I have to reboot the computer and start again.
    Is there some sort of auto timer function that I need to adjust?
    Has anyone else had this issue?

  • Airplay mirroring between my MacBook Pro and Apple TV (1080p one) has always worked fine until now. I only sometimes get video but usually just audio. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

    When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

    I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
    I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly!

  • Audio output issue using Airplay Mirroring over Apple TV

    I'm using the newest version of Apple TV to mirror my display from my MAC using the newest macbook pro with mountain lion 10.8.
    The problem i'm having is whenever i try to change audio output in airplay mirroring mode the mirroring shuts off. I can't change outputs!! It's like it's forcing the macbook to use the apple tv hdmi port for audio. I NEED to use my USB DAC which i have connected to my MPB.
    Grateful for any ideas, i did not expect the software to act as crappy as this. Using different audio sources successfully is something i took for granted.     

    Well, since I can't imagine this being a feature of Airplay I assume we're either hitting the limitations of the technology, or it's a bug. Knowing Apple I suspect it's a limitation of Airplay, perhaps because audio and video are sent out as an integrated stream?
    I agree, this does suck, since all I have to use as audio is the tiny 1 watt speaker on my Epson projector! I can't even use audio out from the Apple TV, since all it has is that useless optical port. Very frustrating indeed.

    Airplay mirroring.
    Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
    Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
    When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi!
    I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
    I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
    So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
    I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

    My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi.  The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
    My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1.  The TV displays the Apple Menu.  The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:

    Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
    It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video.  I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2.  Can you help please?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • MacBook Pro Early 2011 - Airplay Mirroring only sends audio to Apple TV 2nd Gen

    Ok, I'm stumped by this one. I have a 15" MBP Early 2011 edition and an Apple TV 2nd Gen. Airplay Mirroring from my MBP to Apple TV only transmits the audio -- the MBP will resize the screen like it's connected to a 16:9 device, and Apple TV will show a black screen like it's about to pick up the video signal, but no video transmits. A couple of times, video started transmitting, but it was about 30 seconds delayed (?!) and extremely choppy. Both devices are connected wirelessly to a Linksys router with 5 GHz (wireless N) capabilities. The router has been configured to Apple's recommendations for Airplay Mirroring.
    A little more about my MacBook Pro:
    Early 2011 Model ID: MacBookPro8,2
    OS: 10.8.2 Mountain Lion
    CPU: Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          4
      L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          6 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6490M, VRAM 256 MB Total
    This problem is driving me crazy! Airplay works flawlessly between my iPhone 5 and Apple TV, but not with a much more powerful laptop. Also, I tried Mirroring from a friend's 13" MacBook Pro, and it did the same thing.
    Any suggestions, tips, ideas, etc. to get this working is appreciated!

    He has an Early-2011 MacBook Pro, which does meet the requirements. The issue is that it is running OS X 10.7.5 and needs to be upgraded to Mountain Lion to use mirroring.

  • Airplay mirror imaging icon will not show up on my macbook pro even though i downloaded mountain lion. How do i get airplay icon to appear on my macbook pro?

    i have a macbook pro (almost positive that its a 2010 version) and i got mountain lion. The BIGGEST AND MAIN REASON i bought mountain lion was so that i can do airplay, allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my Apple TV. my whole computer is updated as far as the displays and newer features but the small airplay icon will not show up on the top of my screen. therefore, not allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my tv... it is connected to the same wifi as my apple tv. idk what to do. could it be because my macbook pro is a 2010? desprately looking for help...please help me with this issue
    thank you

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your MacBook Pro isn't supported.

  • Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work on newest MBP

    Hello,
    I have a 15" MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with OS X Mountain Lion installed. When Apple TV is available, there is an AirPlay icon in the menu bar. When I enable AirPlay Mirroring, my Apple TV turns into black but sound is streaming. No image at all. I tried different screen resolutions but none of them works, my TV supports 1080p and my Apple TV is 3rd generation with newest software (5.0.2). When the AirPlay Mirroring is enabled, there is a high upload speed so I believe the image is actually streaming. And there is no update for my Mac system. When I use iTunes to play a video, then that video can show up on the Apple TV, but besides that, mirroring doesn't work. My Apple TV has no issue when working with iPhone and iPad AirPlay. Do you have any ideas about this? Thank you so much!

    Hey,
    I have the exact same problem. Read at least a dozen forums, and wasted 3 hours solving it.
    Finally, a simple 'restart' solved my problem....
    Hope it will for you.

  • How can I get AirPlay mirroring to fill widescreen? It works automatically for apps built for apple tv, but not Hulu Plus, for example, which letterboxes.

    Airplay mirroring works great for apps (mostly video-related ones) with native Apple TV support, but for other apps - most notably Hulu Plus, it will only show letterbox on my 16:9 plasma TV. Again, my movies, tv shows and in-app videos like in CNN where there's a built-in AirPlay support will fill my widescreen, but apps that don't (Hulu Plus, games, photos) will not. Do I have to change the aspect ratio on the tv to 4:3? Will changing the resolution help.
    How can I get mirroring to fill the entire tv screen, regardless of the app? Thanks.

    Guys. Let's not get confused here.
    -AirPlay mirroring feature 'mirrors' what's on your iPad 2 or above or your iPhone 4s on to your big TV via the Apple TV black box.
    -Video apps that stream video (like native YouTube app) uses AirPlay which is different to mirroring.
    -When you use the 'mirror' feature you get black bars all around (left/right &amp; top/bottom)
    -There are Games that use the full screen via the AirPlay mirroring feature and there are games that don't. It depends on the Game. For example download Asphalt 7:Heat and you'll notice you get widescreen display on the big TV but if you play Batman or Max Payne or others that don't support AirPlay mirroring then it you get black bars left and right.
    -What's neat about the AirPlay mirror feature is that when you play Asphalt 7 with 'mirroring' set to on, the race is shown on the TV while your iPad shows something completely different (the route in real time with your rear view mirror)
    -The Apple iPhoto app on your iPhone 4s or iPad 2/3 with AirPlay mirroring feature on you get a different experience. All of a sudden it goes full screen, and you are presented with their iPhoto logo.
    -Those who have the first generation iPad don't have mirroring capabilities so the Asphalt 7:Heat games feature aren't available or the iPhoto app features. With iPad 1 you can only stream video or music or image slideshow (which all stream full screen). iPad 2 and iPad 3 can also do this but with the added benefit of 'mirorring' what is displayed on the iPad screen. Some apps take advantage of this, some don't.
    There are no special setting on Apple TV to get rid of the black bars. You may be able to change the zoom settings on your actual big TV.
    Hopefully this will clear this all up. I have the iPad 1 and recently upgraded to the new iPad 3. I also have an iPhone 4s. Same issues.
    I don't think the AirPlay 'mirror' feature has developed fully yet. It has it's limitations but also has its advantages.
