Airplay mirroring with multiple screens

Can I set up a different desktop for the AppleTV airplay than what's on my MacBook Pro? Like I'd like to put a movie on my tv while being able to still surf the net on my pro, is that possible?

AppleTV can stream your MBP content as long as its content is in your iTunes library and that you got your iTunes application open.  You can have iTunes running in the backup and do other task like using Safari or any other application.
Now enabling mirroring instead of streaming your iTunes content, then the answer is no.  Mirroring mimic the display as it is.

  • HT4428 My 128 Gb iPad cannot do airplay mirroring with Apple TV 3.  It only airplays with screen off (like iPad 1), and it can only do airplay with apps which have the airplay button.  No airplay button when sliding the bottom opened apps to the right.

    I restarted the iPad, it is okay now!  I think it is because I have been using the smart cover for too long, without shutting down the iPad completely!  It just works fine with the airplay signal appearing again after restarting the iPad.

  • Problem with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac (purchased April 2013) running OS X Mountain Lion and am having issue with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes via Apple TV 3 running the latest update.
    I have no problem streaming ITunes music (audio) to my Apple TV 3 via AirPlay.
    However, when I enable Airplay Mirroring to ATV3 (either via System Prefs or via the Airplay Mirroring menulet icon at upper right of the screen), 2 things happen:
    1. My iMac screen gets mirrored to my HDTV via ATV3 as expected (good)
    2. Music (audio) stops playing via ATV3 (bad) - this is the key issue I am trying to resolve
    When i disable Airplay Mirroring, I am able to again play music via ATV3.
    Am I missing a setting somewhere to enable BOTH video and audio Airplay mirroring from my iMac via ATV3?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I think I have found the reason for my problem...

  • We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Thank you!

    We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned.  Thank you!

    Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
    Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
    When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
    When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
    I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
    I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

  • HT204291 AirPlay mirroring with iPad 2

    Since updating my Apple TV software, I can't use airplay mirroring with my iPad 2. I need it for a presentation in a couple of hours. Why doesn't this work anymore?!

    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.

  • How to use AirPlay mirroring with Cox TV Connect app for iPad?

    I just bought an Apple TV 3 yesterday because I have been using the Cox TV Connect app for iPad a lot lately because I lost a lot of my favorite channels when I got rid of the higher teir of Cox Cable due of the price, and I can veiw these channels on my iPad now with the Cox TV Connect app. I thought if I bought an Apple TV I could use the AirPlay feature to stream the live TV shows from the iPad app to the TV through Apple TV and unfortuneately the option wasnt there, so I tried to mirror the iPad screen to the Apple TV but I dont have the option in the multitasking bar, anyone know why this is? I have updated the iPad and Apple TV to the software update that was just recently released. Even when im not using the Cox TV app on the iPad I still cant mirror my screen to the Apple TV, but I can do so with the iPhone 4S.

    That document is describing what you say you are already seeing.  It is talking about enabling the air play button in "apps like Videos, Music etc" as you described.  So if you have the AirPlay button showing up in the iOS music and video players is it working as it is supposed to.  So what is it you are not seeing?

  • Can you block the onscreen keyboard of iphone while using airplay mirroring with apple tv?

    i would like to use airplay mirroring for presentations but when logining into say youtube or email i do not want my keyboard being replicated on the big screen. Is there an option just to mirror everything except the keyboard?

    mirroring size if perfect, i want to block out the on screen keyboard when loggin into something or any typing what so ever. This would be more for privacy when doing extended presentations where i would not like to go in, shut the mirroring off type my password into xxxx and then reapply mirroring to continue on with my display.

  • AirPlay mirroring with my MacBook Pro

    Can someone kindly advise on how I can use my Apple TV so I can use my TV as the main screen instead of my MacBook Pro.  And the same with IMac? Having a hard time whereas the iPhone 5 is straightforward . Suggested would b very much appreciated.

    There might be preference options for Airplay in the settings. Also go into Apple TV settings and make sure Airplay is enabled in the options. Then all you have to do is make sure that the Apple TV is on and click the Airplay icon on the top bar on your Macbook. The icon is that rectangle with a solid triangle infront of it. Once you click on that click Apple TV and it will mirror it. Once you've finished it click Airplay Mirroring : On and set it to off.
    I find airplay a really useful feature as i used to do similar things with old PCs and DVI cables. Hope this helps.

  • Airplay mirroring with iPod Touch

  • HT201335 how to fit airplay mirroring to tv screen

    I have set up Airplay mirroring from my ipad to TV but it does not fit the TV screen, there are black spaces on both sides of the TV. How can i fit it to fill in the whole screen?

    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone and aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.

  • Lion - Can it cope with multiple screens yet?

    I have two screens attached to my iMac.  It's terrific how MacOS Expose deals with them up 10.6.8 as compared with my PC at work.  At home, amongst other things, iMovie immediately knows whether or not my second monitor is attached and plays footage back on my second display leaving my main monitor for iMovie editing.  It does this of it own accord with no intervention from me. 
    At work on the PC I can't even pursuade the machine to keep its windows displayed together on the correct screen without having to constantly mouse them around.
    I have head that 10.7 (Lion) can't cope with multiple displays any more so for this reason, and one or two others that I won't go into here, I have resisted the urge to upgrade.
    Can anyone confirm that this is true and, now that some time has passed,whether or not Lion has now been updated to recover this functionality?
    Much obliged.

    Seems I was incorrect.  One can use a second monitor as an extended desktop on an iMac with Lion installed.
    Watch this video and see the guy do it.
