Airplay & Mirroring Question

I just set up my Apple TV. Home Sharing is working fine (from my base PC where iTunes is located). How do I do 'airplay' and 'mirroring' from my iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone 4S? And - can I use Airplay and Mirroring on a 1st generation iPad (running ios 5.1.1?
Thanks!

.....How do I do 'airplay' and 'mirroring' from my iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone 4S?.....
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPhone 4s, double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
.......can I use Airplay and Mirroring on a 1st generation iPad (running ios 5.1.1?
Basic AirPlay yes, Mirroring No.

Why is it not possible to use airplay mirroring on earlier macbook pro models with Mountain Lion?

I know there are questions alike mine, but if anybody knows some new information on this, please let us know.
I've been looking forward to this release of the OSX, especially the built in AirPlay mirroring function for the Mac Pro, which I've been missing ever since I bought the Apple TV.
Now finally when I went to download Mountain Lion, I accidentally search google, and find out that AirPlay mirroring is only supported on early 2011 Mac Pro and later?
What are the earlier users going to do? I have an early 2009 model of the Mac Pro, and I just wan't to know if I'll be able to utilize the new AirPlay mirroring function or not, which determines whether or not I'm going to upgrade my OSX version
Hope someone's got news on this one.
Best regards, Thomas

Airplay Mirroring between MacMini (without Monitor) and ATV

Hello,
i´m using the Mac Mini only as a Server in the storeroom. I did´t connect a Monitor to the Mini. If i want to change something on the Mini
i´m using VNC (iPad) or Screen-Sharing (iMac)!
Now i want to use the Airplay Mirroring function to stream video/audio to my Apple TV in the living room or Bedroom. I want to use some
streamingservices like HBO (in Germany it´s called RTL-Now.de a flashed based TV-Channel) or sometimes i want to use Safari on the big screen.
I only get the audio by Airplay Mirroring. The video signal ist bad. There are crazy colors on the TV (look the picture).
I try to solve the problem my changing the Airplay Setting (Resolution, optimize for ATV...). I changed the video settingt in ATV to auto but no success.
Do you have a idea?
Bastian

It only works when there is a Monitor connected to the mini! If not you see the result in my picture.
The question to Apple: Why?

Problem with Airplay mirroring

Hi, i just downloaded and installed Mountain Lion on my mid-2011 Mac Mini. The airplay mirroring fonction work perfectly to my Apple Tv until i turn off the TV that is connected to the Mac Mini.. Then the screen on the apple tv become all distorted. Is this normal? How can i turn off or just change source on the TV that is connected to the Mac Mini and still be able to enjoy the airplay mirroring in an other room with my Apple Tv?

OK, I am replying to my own question! My husband just found a thread solving this problem.

We changed the video settings on the Apple TV to 'auto', and restarted. It works great now!

Problem with Airplay Mirroring: Image Cut Off

I have a mid 2011 Macbook Pro.   I have installed Mountain Lion.   I am able to activate Airplay Mirroring, however, part of the image is cut off.   In other words, what is shown on my TV is only about 2/3 of the image that is shown on my macbook.    It is not showing a black bar, or anything like that.   It is more like the image is enlarged and doesn't fit on the TV screen.
I have searched the internet trying to find a solution.   I haven't found anyone with this problem.   So, my question is, do I have some settings wrong?   Or is it a problem with the settings on my TV?   If anyone has suggestions for troubleshooting this problem I would be grateful!   I really want to use airplay!
Thanks!

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 ?

Thanks for reply - my user name now was felix69 but I am now helenowen (sorry)! I hadn't replied because I managed to ichat my sister with no problems!! But alas trying to connect with my Dad's ibook I am having no luck in successfully communicating via ichat. I am oerating on the 1.5Mbps/T1/LAN. How do I check that i am running on ports 1024 or above??
Cheers
Would aprecite prompt reply as trying to ichat today!!!

AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work even with the specified hardware/software

Hello,
I have a late 2011 (OS X 10.7.5) MBP and a Sep 2012 Apple TV (MD199LL/A) with the updated software 5.1.
AirPlay Mirror icon doesn't appear in the menu bar.
No options/icons or texts related to AirPlay mirroring in System Preferences > Displays either. Checked detect displays, still no.
Updated all the software in both the MBP and the Apple TV on Oct 6th 2012 late evening/night and restarted both a couple of times, still no signs of AirPlay Mirror icon or option.
BTW, AirPlay works with iTunes, so I can hear music from MBP on my TV.
AirPlay Mirroring works with the latest iPad (as of Sep 2012) as well.
I think one or two people have reported this issue on the forum in response to some question/discussion. Thought it deserved starting a new topic in case some Apple folks are listening.
Perhaps their adverstising or guidelines need an update to remove references of AirPlay mirroring working with 2011 or newer MBPs. Perhaps they meant 2012 or newer?

To be honest I use mine mainly near power and juice up when I can so I don't test the battery too heavily, so I haven't noticed but would probably not.
If mirror is the only thing you want to do but don't want ML look at third party apps such as airparrot or reflectorapp (I hvae used airparrot and found it OK).

Right side of menu bar freezes after using AirPlay Mirroring

When I use Airplay Mirroring with my MacBook Pro to stream "web only" videos on Hulu (or to stream Amazon Prime videos) onto my Apple TV, afterwards the right side of my menu bar gets the rainbow spinny thing (the "spinning beach ball of death," as my sister calls it)
I can't click on anything, the time and battery status won't move, the only thing I can click on on the right side is the Notifications tab thing and also DropBox. The left side is working fine, I can click on everything and it responds.
My dad fixed it last time it did this, I think he repaired the permissions or something (not sure though, I wasn't there when he did it.) So I know I can fix it, but I was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem/if it's an issue with the software or just my computer. If it's just my computer, I'll tell Apple and ask them to fix it.
Thanks

Create a new user and see if it happens within that user. If it does, reinstall the operating system. This is also known as an Archive and Install. Be sure to back up your data first. If it doesn't, drag the com.apple.finder.plist file to the desktop from the folder [home folder]/Library/Preferences and restart and see if the problem persists. If it goes away, the issue was a corruption in that file. Let me know if you have any questions.

Why cant you do airplay mirroring on iphone 3gs

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.

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:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
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.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:
