AirPlay mirroring won't work on 4S

I can't get AirPlay to work with my 4S and Apple TV (Gen 2). Both devices are updated with the latest software. The airplay controls are supposed to be with the music controls but they're just not there. If you can offer any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

I'm getting an email notification on a message I can't find in this thread. Something weird going on with the forum software, I guess.
Anyway, I have not seen you comment about these things:
1) You said the Apple TV is updated. Is your phone using iOS 5?
2) Do you have the 4S?
Sorry if I missed it and you did answer those questions. Just making sure. Are you swiping to the right in the multitasking bar (arrived at by pressing the home button twice) until you can't swipe anymore?

Mirroring is done over the local network so internet speed isn't relevant.
I would check istumbler.net to see if there is any interference

HT201335 The airplay mirroring is not working on Mountain Loin.

The airplay mirroring is not working. The AirPlay mirroring box states "No devices Detected" and will not let you select anything else. The Apple tv is updated and I have a MacBook Pro (Oct 2011)

I don't disagree with much of what you are thinking/feeling, and many others too I dare say.
I do mention Airparrot but usually (not above) with some reservation saying some users report good things some others don't. There is after all a demo and people should try that.
There is a big technical difference between Airplay from iTunes and Airplay mirroring. The former simply has to send a preformatted h264 video stream (i.e. a file in the iTunes media library) to AppleTV across the LAN - there is no processing of this stream required, and AppleTV does the decoding. The latter involves generating that stream live from individual video frames and also then streaming to AppleTV.
Apple seem to have gone for a hardware encoding solution for the stream using post 2011 Intel chip features detailed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video
They also seem to have decided not to offer a software solution for older processors - this is what grates - Airparrot clearly shows that many people can get acceptable performance on many earlier machines.
There are many many examples of instances where Apple has abandoned support for or left out features on older hardware - either playing safe avoiding underperformance or maybe something else.....
When there are genuine reasons not to support things that's fine. When it's ambiguous customers get upset and might take their money elsewhere for future purchases. Apple need to be careful as in the current climate things are pretty tight financially for most people, and they are not in the habit of replacing computers as often as mobile phones - I think the phone business model is clearly partly at fault.

I have recently updated my Apple TV (gen 2) and now Airplay video won't work. I can hear the audio, but no video. I have unplugged, replugged, restarted. Help! This problem is all post-upgrade.

First time using this site; not sure if I'm doing it right.
My apple tv which has always worked beautifully is not picking up airplay from my ipad. It is picking up the audio, and it will certainly do that "mirroring" thing where you watch a grainy computer screen on your tv, but it won't work the way it used to. Any help? I have plugged and unplugged, reset and restarted everthing to no avail. Icons are available, I see the apple tv option on all devices but it just won't do it's thing. Help!
Thanks, everyone, in advance.

Hi, sitzmark128.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of your your wireless network can resolve some AirPlay issues. I would also recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.
If the issue persists after processing these steps, see the article below.

Airplay mirroring no longer working for videos played in iTunes

After the latest software update for iTunes on my Macbook Pro, Airplay mirroring stopped working with my Apple TV from iTunes. I can still mirror anything on my Macbook display, except it won't mirror any video that I play with iTunes. All of my software is up to date. I've followed all the guidelines of ensuring that everything is connected to the same network, rebooting, etc. Is there a glitch in the latest iTunes software update?

Here is the compatibility table
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
You may want to also try converting using the Apple TV preset in Handbrake to see if that helps

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.

HT201335 Airplay mirroring does not work

I am having trouble getting the Airplay mirroring to work between my iMac (10.7.5) and my brnad new Apple TV (latest version). I can play music and video from iTunes to it but cannot get the icon to change in the top bar on the iMac. All devices are on the same network, and I am able to send videos from my iPhone to the Apple TV as well. The iMac is connected to a CenturyLink Router vis a wired Ethernet connection and the Apple TV device is connected via wireless. I even turned on the wireless connection on the iMac so they were both on the wireless connection. I have tried pretty much eveything I can see listed here in the help sites to have the deive show up and I cannot find what I am missing
Your help would be appreciate!.

Sorry. I should have included this in my original message. The iMac was purchased in 2011 and is a MC813LL which according to the website should work. Thanks for the quick response though.

HT204291 Airplay button won't work

I have a Macbook Pro Retina 2013 and an Apple TV 3. Airplay button is showing but won't work. The only way to make it work is by going to Display Preferences an turn on Apple TV. What can I do to solve it?

Ok, the whole scene has a simple loop to keep it running..
The first button has:
on (release)
loadMovie("game.swf",1);
The button on the external swf has:
on (release)]
stopAllSounds();
loadMovie("project_games.swf",1); //I have a swf for the original scene to connect the external swf directly with it, rather the whole project swf
The other button in my original scene (the one that doesn't work after the use of the above two):
on (release)
gotoAndPlay("begin",1); //begin is the name of a scene in the project
That's it.
THanks for your reply my friend.
Any ideas?

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?

pthompson63
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).

Mirroring won't work

I have a BRAND NEW MacBook with Retina display and an Apple TV2. The audio for AirPlay works but the new feature in Mountain Lion where I should be able to mirror my screen does not.
Both devices are on the same network. When I click the AirPlay icon on the top of my screen I get an option to "Open Display Preferences" When selected, "No Devices Detected" appears next to the AirPlay Mirrioring Option.
I can't figure it out.
Thanks
