Airplay mirroring not working on iPad 2

I have an ipad 2, updated to ios5. Apple TV, updated. Wi-fi working fine.
Already went through the troubleshooting list. No problem there.
But my ipad DOES NOT SHOW THE AIRPLAY ICON anywhere.
I slide the multitasking bar to the right and it only shows the itunes icon with controls to play music, that's all.
I stand in front of my appleTV, nothing.
Turn bluetooth off, nothing.
What else can I do?

I have read through this and many other posts with similar issues.
ipad 2 at 5.1.1 and ATV2 with latest firmware
Airplay mirroring works between ATV2 & iphone 4S and airplay works between ATV2 & iphone 3GS/iTouch.
On ipad2, I can enable airplay & airplay mirroring and it works for several seconds. Then the AppleTV option disappears mementarily from the Airplay list and then reappears with AppleTV deselected.
I have done a hard reset of ipad2 and power cycled the ATV2 & router.   I have a strong wifi signal from the router at the point of test so I don't suspect that is the issue.
When I bought the ATV2 around May, Air Play worked with the iPad2.   After reading other posts, I am starting to suspect that the update of the ipad2 to 5.1.1 may have been around the time Airplay stopped working. Other posts seem to point to problems when this was loaded too.
Any ideas on other things to try are welcome.   Otherwise hope this helps contribute to knowledge base for others having similar issues. With many similar issues reported with iPad2 and 5.1.1 with Airplay, I am hoping this gets resolved with next update.

AirPlay mirroring not working but AirPlay is?

AirPlay mirroring not working but AirPlay is?

I'm in the same boat. Apple TV & iPad absolutely, positively up to date. Airplay working. When you swipe left to right, airplay icon is in fact present. However, the only options are:
I've root boot iPad, Apple TV, Airport extreme, computer same network (should have no bearing but why not) with no results. Only options for Airplay are iPad & Apple TV. HELP.

HT201335 AirPlay Mirroring is working from iPad and iPhone, but not from Macbook Pro. How to fix?

I can see and activate AirPlay Mirroring from Macbook but nothing displays on the TV when mirroring is activated (screen changes from Apple TV menu to blank screen only). I have 3rd generation Apple TV and a brand new Macbook Pro, so AirPlay Mirroring is supported by both devices. I can display video content on the TV from my MacBook from iTunes by selecting to display on Apple TV instead of my computer, but it does not work for mirroring.
For reference, when I activate AirPlay Mirroring from iPad or iPhone, it works perfectly and content is displayed on my TV.
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

Airplay mirroring not working as expected

Hi,
Both the Audio and Mirroring function with airplay isn't working for me. I just can't select my Apple TV as an audio source and the Mirroring function just sends a screenshot before turning itself off.
Anyone with similar experiences?
EDIT: AirParrot is working just great so there's no problem with my network.

Is airplay mirroring not working for macbook air?

Bought my macbook in March of this year and Apple TV last month. Upgrated to mountain lion and airplay mirroring is producing a black screen. Anyone know how to get this working

I had same problem: Mid 2011 MBA, AppleTV2 all updated. Both were on 5GHz network, with failure to connect or lag (delays of up to 20secs in video updating). I changed the AppleTV to 2.4GHz, and the MBA to 2.4GHz, it worked more consitently. I tried audio only and it worked perfectly with both using 2.4GHz, then reactivated video, which then worked better but not perfectly. Have now changed MBA to 5GHz network and it's working perfectly.
I believe this is because I'm streaming in HD to the MBA from webtv (on 5GHz), which is then streaming out the MBA (on 5Ghz) to the router and then from the router on 2.4GHz to the AppleTV. This helps to divide up the (radio) bandwidth.

Why is AirPlay mirroring not working with MacbookAir

Hi,
I bought Apple tv yesterday but the airplay mirroring is not working with my macbook air (Mid 2011).
Would you tell me Why? and How can I resolve this?
Regards

Supported Macs
AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
are you sure its mid 2011 Air?
If so--
Turn on HOME SHARING to mirror / airplay to your Apple TV

AirPlay mirroring not working with Mac mini mid 2011

I recently upgraded my Mac mini to mountain Lion Osx for being able to use AirPlay Mirroring Feature with my Apple Tv3 5.0.
Normal l'y i should qualify for being able to use this Feature but the only thing i CAN get is a green screen... When activating thé mirroring on the upper right corner Of my desktop screen...???
If somebody CAN help trouble shooting this problem
Thanks

the next thing i would confirm is that there is no network issue. is your mini connected to your home network via wifi, or wired? if it's wifi, then i would try to connect it with an ethernet cable, just for testing purposes. if it's connected via wired connection and that's how you're getting your green screen, then it warrants a trip to visit the "geniuses" (please Apple, don't censor me for putting geniuses in quotes). because you would've effectively isolated the problem to your mini. good luck.

AirPlay Mirroring not working on MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, OS X 10.7.4)

I am trying to mirror the display of my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2012, OS X 10.7.4) to my TV using the latest AppleTV. AirPlay works from iTunes to the AppleTV, but I don't have an AirPlay icon in my Display Preferences to project whatever's on the screen to the AppleTV. What could be wrong..? Thanks in advance.

You need to update to Mountain Lion. Purchase it in the Mac App Store.

Apple TV and Airplay mirroring not working

I've been trying to get Apple TV 2 working in my college for the last couple of weeks. Our wireless uses 802.1x but after a lot of fail trying to configure the Apple TV using a number of different profiles via Apple Configurator I've convinced an infrastructure engineer to create a new SSID using WPA2 and creating a rule through our firewall to allow clients connected on that SSID out.
I could finally get out to the internet for about 10 minutes before it lost connection again. During the 10 minutes I was still unable to use AirPlay via the iPad although they were both on the same subnet!
Can someone please help if they've had any success with this.
Regards,
Evan

Also. I noticed that when I joined the school's network, it didn't ask for my student ID and password like it normally does when I connect to it through my laptop or phone. There is a password I have to put in in order to connect, but I didn't ask me.

Airplay Mirror not working after upgrade to Yosemite

I just upgraded my home Macbook Air to Yosemite (10.10.1) and I can't mirror my display to my Apple TV. I can stream music to iTunes no problem. And my work MacBook Air (running Mavericks v10.9.5) will mirror to my Apple TV. I think it is safe to say there is something wrong with Yosemite and mirroring.
I am open to any ideas, suggestions. Thanks!

80" LCD connected to a 2013 MBP Retina via Ethernet and Airplay. Does this EVERY TIME until a restart.

Airplay mirroring not working on mountain lion

Hi,
I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro and one of the main reasons for purchasing Mountain Lion was the ability to use mirroring. Sadly this feature does not seem to be working a part from in itunes. I have now studied the Tech Specs and now see my model is not supported. This should have been made much clearer when purchasing the upgrade. Very very disappointing Apple. Just starting to lose patience and up until now have been an advocate of Apple. I will think twice before recommending again.
Of course if there is a solution my faith would be fully restored.

The only reason i bought mountain lion was for the mirroring too. I have the same issue. Honestly I am so disapointed with Apple. If we were simply informed more clearly that this won't work I may still have purchased the product and at least wouldnt have been so disapointed. Coupled with the wait for Facebook integration this has been real shame.
My advice to anyone thinking of updating or even purchasing an apple product. Don't expect Apple to consider you unless you have a new product.
Apple really are becoming a bunch of money grabbers.

HT204291 Airplay and mirroring not appearing on iPad Air, all devices up to date. Connected to same wifi network.

Airplay and. Mirroring not working, all devices have airplay turned on and same network.
Tried hard reboot of device as well.

The reply you received did not work for me.
If you don't mind having to re-enter your WiFi password(s) there is a much simpler single step solution that will probably work more often and more reliably than all the steps listed in your other solution.
Simply go into your iOS device settings -> reset -> reset network settings
the device will reboot, and you will have to manually reconnect to your WiFi network - and any other WiFi networks that you had previously stored for automatic connection.

Does airplay mirror only work with the ipad2 and not ipad1

does airplay mirror only work with the ipad2 and not ipad1

But can it still stream video wirelessly?
For example, with the Digital AV Adapter I can watch video on my TV, but obviously it's wired.
I'd like a wireless option.

I do not have the option to turn on airplay mirroring on my new ipad 2 and the software is up to date

how can i update my apple tv with the USB cable so that my airplay mirroring will work!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well

AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well.
WLAN is working, I can use Youtube on my AppleTV, but I can´t connect to my computer or use airplay on my iPhone or iPad.

Something is not configured correctly that is creating issues with your AppleTV. You can disconnect it from the TV and power, and then plug it into your computer with a micro-USB cable. After launching iTunes on your computer, you will be able to restore it to default settings and upgrade the software.
