Airplay stopped working on MacBook Air wirelessly

I have a MacBook Air, iPad2, iPhone 5, and two apple TVs. Up to two months ago I was able to stream from my MacBook Air to my Apple TV wirelessly. Suddenly in midst of a film the connection was lost and I have not been able to get it back. The Airplay icon went missing from my title ribbon and Display Preferences can not detect either of my Apple TVs.
Trouble shooting steps:
1. The issue is limited to my MacBook Air. I have no difficulty streaming through AirPlay from either my iPad or iPhone.
2. I have made sure that I am on the same wireless network on all my devices. Still my MacBook Air is unable to detect my Apple TVs.
3. I have re-set my Apple TVs to their factory settings several times and am still unable to establish a connection between them and my MacBook Air.
4. When my MacBook Air is connected to my network through Ethernet and my Apple TVs are still connected wirelessly to my network, the Airplay icon reappears on my title ribbon and I am able to find and recognize the Apple TVs either through the icon.
5. Even when my MacBook Air is plugged into my network, the streaming is very slow with a patchy picture and intermittent loss of sound. My network is running at 50 Mega and I have no problem with the quality of sound and picture when streaming wirelessly from my iPad or iPhone.
6. When both the MacBook Air and Apple TV are Ethernet wired to the network, streaming between the two is fast and clear. The problems with patchy picture and sound is resolved.
Tentative conclusions:
The wireless ability of my MacBook Air works fine and I tend to use this option most of the time with this device. However, there appears to be an incompatibility between the Airplay and wireless capabilities of my MacBook Air.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this incompatibility?

sounds like the router have begun blocking some of the required ports for some reason or another

I just received some horrifying news from Adobe about my production suite. I just FINALLY learned today that what I've been trying to do for over a week now - CAN'T be done because of compatability issues involving updates of both Adobe & Microsucks Winders!!! I sincerely hope this is not your problem. Mine is ALMOST HOPELESS!! Being in this HOPELESS Obamma economy,,,, leaves NO STIMULUS in which to currently upgrade everything that needs upgraded for me to fully use my INVESTMENT in Adobe Suite - sad, horrible and SICKENING!!!
I just wanted to post this. And again, I truly hope you find a solution. Good Luck!

I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air. How do I do that?

I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air. Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too). I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me. If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:

Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week.
Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)

With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.

Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.
I know it works fine on my Macbook Pro, but considering getting an Air for travelling, and like to import and do some basic editing while away.
Used to have a Macbook, and FCP wouldn't load on that.
Understand the Air's limitations on disk size, but only wanting it as a travelling editor.
Thanks

"Traveling editor" could imply dedicated offlining. Shane, do you think that could work with a low rez ProRes codec?
I don't think anyone has tried to use an AirBook for FCP. Anyone bother to search?

Why arent my number keys working on macbook air

my number keys not working on macbook air
same with keys q-o hlp pls

Still pictures or video?
I think there are challenges when still cameras produce movie files, compared with camcorders.
I have a Kodak PlaySport and the only way I can get my iMac to recognise and read the QuickTime HD movie files is to plug the SD card into the computer, and then Import directly from iMovie.
It works fine but is different from the way I import any other movie files - for example, from my Canon S90, where the system reads the files into iPhoto, from where iMovie picks them up.

HP Laserjet Pro 1102w Wireless (Not working on MacBook Air 10.10)

HP Laserjet Pro 1102w Wireless is not working on my MacBook Air Yosemite (v10.10).
I tried setting it up via this link: (v10.10 Yosemite, Method 3: Wireless Setup Using a USB Connection)
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02847467#N2251
All I get under printers is the USB kind and NOT the Wireless/Bonjour kind.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

Hi @Random_Pelican ,
I see that you are having issues setting up the printer on 10.10. I would like to help you out today.
If the printer has a valid IPv4 address and you still can't add the printer as a Bonjour printer, most likely Multicasting is turned off on the router, since your not able to add the printer as a bonjour device and the other devices won't recognize the printer. Just call the router company and have them turn it on.
If the printer doesn't have a valid IPv4 address please try these steps:
Reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometime the Embedded Web Server won't open if it isn't.
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
I will provide the steps for 10.9, which should work the same for 10.10.
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation on Maverick.
Laserjet P1102w.
You may follow the steps instead of watching the video.
You have to connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer to install the printer as a USB device first and then configure the wireless network.
Turn the printer on, connect the USB cable and install the Apple Update that should automatically load.
Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
Fill out this information for your network. Status make sure you select Enabled.
Apply the settings.
Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer. (might take a couple of minutes to appear) Make sure the printer listed beside use: shows the proper printer name and not the default driver, then click on the add button.
Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Test the printer.
Let me know how you make out.
Have a great day!
Thank You.
