Airplay option doesn't appear on iPhone; speakers not available from iMac

I have an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2, an iPhone running 8.1.3, the Bang & Olufsen A8 speakers & iPad dock and Telstra's Netgear Cable Home Network gateway CG3100D–2BPAUS.
When I remove the iPhone from the dock it used to bring the AirPlay icon into view on the screen, but it suddenly stopped appearing.
I would also like to be able to stream directly from online radio via the iMac to the A8, leaving the iPhone free for telephone calls! But it seems that when AirPlay doesn't appear on the iPhone, the A8 also doesn't appear as a speaker output option on the iMac.
I have had a lot of problems with this A8 and find online many users also dissatisfied: seems unpredictable and intermittent. Have had network dropouts also but that is okay since restarting modem, A8, iMac and iPhone all together. Have searched endlessly but can't find instructions on how to enable or troubleshoot AirPlay.

Thanks, degree, I should have mentioned I've checked that page. The only bit I'm not sure of is that the page on recommended settings for routers wants the 2.4GHz channel width set to 20MHz and the 5GHz channel set to both 20 and 40MHz, but my router seems to have only one option: "Bandwidth: 20Mhz" or Bandwidth: 40Mhz". Everything else seems to be compliant.
I moved the speakers/dock into the same room as the router and iMac, in the adjacent corner so shouldn't interfere.

    Are you looking at the tabs on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've connected and selected your device on the left-hand side of iTunes ? i.e. it should be one of the tabs that you use to chose what content to sync to the device : syncing photos

  • If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then cancelled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do i go back and do that since now when i plug in my HD, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help?

    If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then canceled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do I go back and do that since now when I plug in my external hard drive, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help? I bought a MacBook Air, but decided to return it for the newest model, and I wanted to back it up so that I can then back it up on my new MacBook Air. I didn't understand the option to Inherit or start a new back up, and therefore selected the option to create a new backup. I believe I should have selected to Inherit backup history so that when i back it up on the new MackBook Air, it appears the same as the one I'm returning.... Is there anyway that i can re-select the option to Inherit backup history for time machine?

    Sounds like your iPhone is locked to your home carrier.
    See if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Otherwise,
    there is nothing you can do besides rent/but a cheap

    What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
    But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

  • HT201335 Airplay speakers not available , The speak Apple TV is currently used by someone else

    Hi, i bought apple TV and we are getting error message Airplay speakers not available , The speak Apple TV is currently used by someone else so can you lot tell me that how stop this

    Classroom scenario:  We have Apple TVs in classrooms.  If a teacher is using the Apple TV to display their device & forgets to disconnect, leaves the room . . . next teacher comes in . . . if they still see the other device being mirrored they can kick them off by pressing the menu button on the remote.  However, when they then try to connect, they get the "In use by someone else" message.  Only solution we've found then is to restart the Apple TV.  So, is this truly the only solution?

  • IPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????

    iPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????
    How can this function not be available on iPhone - What an embarrassing disgrace Apple!!
    I refuse to conform to iTunes - NO!
    Am so over your lack of basic user services Apple - sort your **** out!!!

    The simplest answer is that the existing Bluetooth is not suitable for this purpose. With a max speed of 2.1 Mbps (0.5% that of USB), it would be pretty painful to use for this purpose - a backup of a 16GB iPhone would take a whole day. Transfer a movie? It would take an hour.
    On top of that, Bluetooth doesn't provide a standard mechanism for the type of data transfer and synching that iPhone needs -- they'd have to write their own propriety one and you'd still have to use proprietary software to do the data transfer / synching.
    A better mechanism would be standard Wi-Fi, which would be MUCH faster than Bluetooth and for which the protocols necessary are already in place. It's still comparatively slow to USB (about 10% that of USB), but much faster than Bluetooth. However, it appears that Apple's research has led them to believe that waiting an hour or two for the phone to backup over Wi-Fi using the existing mechanism is still undesirable.
    From what they've indicated about iOS5, however, it seems that they will be supporting more over-the-air updating and synching mechanisms, meaning that, for the first time, you can do most everything but backup the phone without iTunes (though document exchange for certain apps is much faster and easier with iTunes, it won't be necessary).

  • Photos over IMG_9999 appear to no longer be available from PC?

    iPhone 6 running iOS8.1
    Photos over IMG_9999 appear to no longer be available from a PC in "Internal Storage\DCIM"?  I leave all photos on my phone (why not it's 128GB right?) and on my PC too (it's part of my backup strategy).  I'm up to around 12500 photos.  Prior to upgrading to iOS8 / iPhone 6 there used to be lots of seemingly randomly named folders such as "872BKMTH" and "892ZLWLR" under "Computer\My iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM" but now there are only two folders.  One folder has images IMG_0001 to IMG_9999 in and the other just has two app created movies in... so there question is.. where are the rest of my photos and how can I now get them onto my PC?
    I've tried looking for them through iFunBox but I still can't see the photos i get folders Camera, Camera 2 to Camera 8 but looking at all these I still can't find the latest photos and movies?
    Bit stumped :-(  Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Incidentally the single folder with 9999 images in takes far too long to load..  what was wrong with the dozen or so folders from before?
    Thanks

    There's no problem with my ADSL.  I can watch all IPTV channels (Amazon, iPlayer etc) with excellent results.
    MY problem, along, I should think, with many others is a consequence of being forced to use Chromecast. 
    One of the many limitations of this device is that it only works properly with Android or iOS devices.   Under Android, the Tablet or 'phone runs an App and is simply a controller: the content is then streamed DIRECTLY to the TV via Chromecast.  
    With Windows there is no App.   You have to "cast" a browser tab, which means that the content (Football match etc) goes to the TV FROM the Tablet or PC.   Even on pages where it works, this causes serious deterioration of the picture quality. 
    It doesn't work at all with BT Sport.
    Unfortunately BT Sport's TV player on Windows uses Silverlight.   Chromecast doesn't support casting content which uses Silverlight.  This wouldn't be a problem if there was a Chromecast App for Windows, but Google has refused to develop one, and prevents anyone else from doing so.  
    The consequence of all this is that anybody in my position who is not prepared to buy either an iPhone\iPad or some Android Tablet or 'phone will not be able to use BT Sport when it is no-longer broadcast.  
    The substance of my question boils down to this:
    Why can't BT provide either a "player" on BT Vision or their YouView box which would allow me to continue watch BT Sport live, OR use a non-proprietary technology that allows Windows users to watch on their TV.

  • I bought a hd movie on my iPad , however when I try to play on Apple TV 1st generation. It does not appear or says content not available. My TV is hd compatible

    I bought a hd movie on my iPad , however when I try to play on Apple TV 1st generation. It does not appear or says content not available. My TV is hd compatible

    AppleTV1 only supports HD upto 720p - chances are the iPad HD vserion is 1080p and beyond ATV1 capability.
    Also do not expect recent iTunes purchases to appear on AppleTV 1 store menus as purchased - ATV1 does not know about 'cloud access'.
    Best option is to download the 720p version (set in iTunes Preferences on computer iTunes) and sync/stream to AppleTV 1 from iTunes.
