Airplay with Apple TV

Why can't I view shows using Airplay between my ipad and Apple TV? Commercials will show on the TV but not the show itself, although audio comes through the sound bar for both commercials and the show.

Well I think you could be on the right track as it appears to be the way the Bt app works!
When I open the app and launch a video it presents very similar to a YouTube window and has the airplay simbol in the corner however when this is selected I don't get the video played on the pad and as there is no activity on the pad the power save kicks in after the set time!
If however I mirror the pad and play bt sport this way, it works fine but with a picture frame around the mirrored image on my tv!

    AirPlay Mirroring needs an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your computer supports AirPlay Mirroring. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion

    My Mac PRO (serial number    <edited by host>) has installed OS X Lion 10.7.5. Can I update it to OS Mountain Lion to work Airplay with apple TV?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The serial number doesn't tell us anything. Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and tell us the first two lines of the window, where you should see MacBook Pro and a line below, which indicates the model you have:
    That's what I see on my Mac. AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so if you see Early 2011 MacBook Pro or newer in that line, you can use AirPlay Mirroring. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    If you want to upgrade, make a backup of your files and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Then, open the Mac App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar.
    If you don't want to upgrade, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot

  • Use airplay with Apple TV without wifi connection

    Is it possible to use the AirPlay feature on an iPad with Apple TV without being connected to the internet via wifi? 
    I'm thinking about getting my mom an iPad for X-mas later this year so that she can help some of her visually impared students.  She has always wanted a good visual aid for all of her students and I figure that this would be the best solution.  The only problem is that I'm not sure if she would have access to the school's wifi connection. 
    I would normally suggest that she use the HDMI adapter but the projector in her classroom is mounted on the ceiling and it would be a bit of a hassle to have to disconnect the cable every time so that the kids wouldnt play with it.  So I figure if she can stream her content on her future iPad to the Apple TV wirelessly, she would be able to achieve what she has always wanted to do.  I dont think she will be streaming anything to the Apple TV like youtube or anything like that but it would be a nice tool to have in the event that she wants to present something to her kids wirelessly from her iPad.

    Unfortunately you can't send audio from the Apple TV to an airport express, but you can send audio from your mac/pc to the airport express via iTunes/Airplay, you could also send audio from an iPod/iPhone to the express. The express supports both optical and 3.5 mm in a unified port.

  • How can i use airplay with apple tv on a set of audio speakers?

    hello there,
    i've got a problem with my stereo apple tv combination.
    my TV does support HDMI so i can use my apple tv on my HDTV. only my audio is being played on my internal speakers of my HDTV. I do have a set of speakers. but it doesn't support optical audio out. so i was wondering if its possible to use an Airport Express en plug my speakers in there. then wirelessly send the audio from my apple tv to my Airport/speakers. do any of you think that thats possible?? cause i really can't find another way to transfer my audio to my speakers...
    Thanks alot!!

  • Forced to use Airplay with Apple tv

    I just bought a new Retina MBP 15 inch, and since I got it with the educational discount promotion, I also got an Apple Store gift card. And with which I redeemed an Apple tv. At first having an Apple tv is an invaluable addition to making my whole house much more connected. But now it's simply more and more frustrating.
    Basically I was trying to watch a video on YouTube last night on my Retina MBP using a pair of headphone, and for some reason no audio came through and the sound controls became incredibly unresponsive. I later figured it out that it's because my computer had selected Airplay as the audio output device. However for some reason, I can't seem to change that. I've just been trying to use the built in speakers on the Retina MBP to try to play some music from iTunes, however, when ever the system tries to play any sort of music, or any sound in that matter, the output device will just get switched to Airplay, which is the Apple tv, and I can't get my computer to play any sound through the built in speaker.
    This is solved only when either I turned off wifi on my Retina MBP, which cuts off the connection to the Apple tv, or I unplug the power cable on the Apple tv all together to prevent it from waking up and connecting with my MPB.
    This is extremely frustration if anyone has a viable solution to this problem it would be a LIFE SAVER. So THANK YOU in advance! (you can see the level of frustration here with the capital letter)

    You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.
    Sorry.
    For older Mac, look at an app called AirParrot

  • Question for audiophiles using Airplay with Apple TV 2nd Gen

    I'm using AirPlay on my iphone to play music to the Apple TV 2nd gen. (running optical out of AppleTV into high quality Rotel receiver)  I'm hearing what I believe is best called "pumping" in the audio: the volume is modulating in waves, and the music sounds distant.  I can't figure out what would cause this.  I've got excellent signal strength so I don't think it's a bandwidth problem where the devices might be over-compressing and thus introducing artifacts.
    I've done A/B comparisons with the same song, hardwired to my receiver, and I've heard it on all the tracks I'm streaming, so I know it's not in the recording.
    Has anyone experienced this phenomenon?  Thanks.

    Sorry, I can only offer sympathies and the fact that I also had this issue with wired connections, using XBMC on my Mac Mini to play out to an Audiolab M-DAC. Unfortunately I made lots of changes trying to set up my Media Center, so I don't know what made it go away!
    Just saying that it's not neccessarily an Airplay issue.

  • IPhone can AirPlay with Apple TV. MacBook Pro streaming is terribly laggy.

    I just purchased an Apple TV tonight. I'm having serious issues streaming anything (such as music from iTunes) from my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.3) to the Apple TV. The device shows up just as it should and can be selected. On the computer everything seems to be connected to the Apple TV properly. On the TV, however, the audio only plays in very short bursts with long pauses inbetween. Unusable. I assume it's not my network at home since my iPhone 4S streams pictures, videos, and songs to the TV perfectly smooth. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? The only thing AirPlay related is that I have used Reflection and AirParrot at some point. I have since uninstalled both of those using AppCleaner and rebooted.

    +1 here. It my gen-3 ATV works perfect with my iPad2 and iPhone4 though. I think it is a matter of processor speed and my late-2011 MBPro is not good at it despite the 8GB-ram and SSD upgrade.

  • Airplay with Apple TV not what it used to be

    Before iOS 8 I was able to stream from the iphone to Apple TV without using the mirroring toggle. The icon used to show up in the video screen down on the bottom right corner. Ever since the update, its gone and I have to mirror the phone which doesnt allow me to do anything but stream the movie. I cant check any messages that go off or exit the screen because it will exit the movie. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to get the Airplay icon back on the bottom or send it to the TV without using mirroring?

    You and I have the same iOS version on our phones but your ATV is one generation newer which I don't think should make any difference. On my phone I swipe up and choose AirPlay > Apple TV. I then choose a video and the greyed video control screen says 'The Video is Playing on Apple TV'. As the video continues to play on the TV I can click the phone's home button and choose any app and use all the while the video keeps playing on TV. My guess is maybe you have a software glitch on the phone. Have you done any troubleshooting like resetting your phone or restoring it?

  • 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.

    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:

  • I am using an iPad with Apple TV and airplay with a projector in my classroom.  The mirroring cuts out and back on several times during use. Any suggestions on what's causing it and how to fix it?

    I am using My iPad with Apple TV, Airplay and projector in my classroom.  The projector screens blanks out and back on several times during a presentation. It seems like a problem with connection but I'm not sure as it comes back on after a few seconds. Any idea of what is causing this and how it can fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • No AirPlay on Apple TV 2G with iPad 1G & iPhone 3G | AirPlay with iTunes 10.3.1 works

    Hey there, I have an Apple TV 2G and I wanted to start using AirPlay with my iPad 1G iOS 4.2.1 and iPhone 3G iOS 4.2.1 but I don't see the button for connecting with my Apple TV as shown in the manuals.
    I am using a Router (A) to connect to the internet and have a WiFi Router TP-Link TL-WR841ND (B) that is linked to the Router (A) by LAN. I am using a DHCP Server on both Routers, SSID is not broadcasting (B) and MAC Filter is off (B).
    iPhone and iPad are connected to (B) by using  a static IP and have an static DNS and Gateway using the IP from (A). So all devices are connected in the same network by using (B).
    iTunes connect probably with Apple TV 2.
    OK, I hope to get some advices now that will help.
    Cheers, PaTim

    You'll need a minimum of an iPhone 3GS for Airplay on a phone, the iPad will need iOS 4.3 at least for 3rd party apps and websites to work.
    I'd update all your software and try again.
