Airplay

Airplay does not work on my mid-2010 macbook pro. I certainly hope that they choose to include those of us who had spent $2K+ on a laptop two years ago into this "elite" club...then again, their justification will be "buy the newest mac."
I was actually excited up until this point when I found out that this "Most Advanced" OS is nothing more than a few new useless features. I have not been disappointed by Apple up until this point and I certainly hope that they are able to find a way to rectify this issue and provide the one useful feature to be accessible by all (2008 and over, that is).

See http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and look underneath the comments portion it asks about your computer and OS.

How to use Airplay to sync iPad with Apple TV

I have a new imac which is linked to my Apple TV, but I want to sync my iPad to the Apple TV so I can view apps. Do I need to download Airplay on the iPad. Couldn't find a download link. Help please!

You cannot sync with the Apple TV. You can use AirPlay to stream iPad content to your TV.

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!!

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 get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay, how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay

how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

You don't use Airplay. You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

How do I get multiple Apple Tv's to show up in Airplay?

I have two apple TV's hooked to my network. iTunes is running on an iMac. When I click the AirPlay icon, only one of my ATV's show up.
How do I get both to show?
thanks
David

Hey David,
If you are having an issue with being unable to get multiple AirPlay devices such as your Apple TVs to show up in iTunes I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

Is it possible to airplay more than one device at a time, for example splitting the screen into quad-view?

I was told by someone that it is possible to connect up to 4 devices at a time through airplay, but I can't work it out.
Is this information incorrect? I'd like to have 4 devices displayed at a time; or at least 2.
Thanks

No you can't.
Audio can be sent to multiple speakers in some cases (eg from iTunes), but not video.

Cant see my airplay icon, cant use my remote app on either of my devices

Hi
I have the gen 3 apple TV and somehow i can no longer airplay, from my mac book pro, ipad, ipad mini or iphone. It used to work on all of my devices and now I cant see the icon.
When I open my remote app it tells me that I have to turn on Home sharing on my itunes or apple tv. It is turned on, on all of my devices.
I have been trying to trouble shoot this issue (all of my devices have the latest updates) and I still cant use my remote or air play
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I was able to fix the issue by unpluging the apple tv, router, and modem all for about 2-3 minutes and then replugging them in

AirPlay no longer recognized by iOS devices. Is recognized by OSX devices.

I've trolled the discussion forums but to no avail. Airplay was working last night on my iPhone and iPad, but it no longer is recognized: I don't have the AirPlay icon in the doc or in the volume controls within the apps that it used to appear in. It is recognized by my MacMini and MacBook Pro within iTunes.
I haven't changed any settings. I reset all my devices, including my AirPort Express. Also, all software and firmware are up to date.
Thanks

I finally got the iOS devices to work. I had to power them down and restart them several times, but it worked. This seems to be an issue that will hopefully be resolved with an iOS update in the near future.

Itunes 10 and Airplay no longer works with my Airport Express

As soon as I installed the update, my Airport Express (802.11g I think) has stopped working. You can JUST hear a faint audio signal if you turn the amp up full. Any ideas gratefully received.

I noticed this too and think it's by design. The new master volume slider in the AirPlay window is set at the highest volume in your list of speakers. Drag either the master volume or your external speaker slider to max, and you should get normal volumes out of your Airport Express speakers.
Unfortunately, the volume slider on the iTunes window seems to be the master volume now, rather than just the volume for the computer. So if you mute the computer using that slider, you mute all speakers. To mute just the computer, you have to do it though the AirPlay speaker list now. Unless I'm missing a preference setting somewhere... thought there used to be something in iTunes or Airport Utility that let you toggle this behavior, but I don't see anything now...

Airplay with Sony RDp-AX900 no longer working

Running off a Standard MAc 21".. 2011 model ... just upgraded the box to Mavericks
Trying to use spotify or Itunes and just want output to go the the external Sony airplay speaker..
Works fine to Apple TV sitting next to it - it sees the Sony but when you select it it just pops back to the Internal Speaker Option ... Thoughts? All working before the Upgrade...
Ended up connecting via BT to the Sony but thats just a fudge really...

Yes I did all the easy stuff first. I even re-installed Mavericks incase a special file was missing. I've totally reset my AirPort Express several times. It's what's transmitting my WiFi and it's super close to my iMac.
It's deffinitely a problem with my iMac seeing as it's not working with both my AirPort Express and Apple TV, also can't access Shared movies on my iPad via Home Sharing so yeah... definitely my iMac. All those other things communicate to eachother just fine.

Airplay no longer working with 3rd party after upgrading to Maverick.

I updated my MacBook Pro this week and I have noticed that the airplay icon is no longer showing up in iTunes to connect to my Denon Amplifier. The interesting thing is that my old iPad 1 that I have that is still running 5.1.1 can connect and play to the receiver just fine.
Was there an update to the airplay software that would affect 3rd party devices? I was not able to find any new updates for my receiver.

I woke up this morning with the same problem (all was fine last night). Only way to get all my mailbox folders back was to use Time Machine while in Mail, choosing the backup file from previous night and selecting EACH MAILBOX to restore (23 for me). All appears okay so far today (except some of my accessories in the menu bar are gone).
I sure hope an update comes SOON. In anticipation of Mavericks and the new MAIL I switched from Outlook 2011 3 weeks ago transfering 17,000+ files and would hate to back

IOS7 no longer working with airplay

I'm not sure if this question should be posted here or in the airport section.....but I am going to give it a try here first. I have speakers in various rooms of my home and they are all connected to individual airport expresses. I have upgraded my iPhone and iPad to ios7 and I am no longer able to connect to the airport expresses via airplay. The units will show up as options under airplay on my phone, but when I try and select one, it will high-lite for a second and then de-selct itself. iTunes running on my iMac is able to play via airplay without any issues as are any devices not running iOS7.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a known issue with iOS7 and Airplay? I am using an Airport Express 802.11n (1st gen) using firmware 7.6.4. I am also using an Airport Express 802.11g running firmware 6.3. According to my Airport Utility I am running the most recent firmware for both.
Thanks

Which docking station - make and model?

Airplay to Pioneer receiver no longer works after 10.4 update

I have a VSX-1021K receiver unit which until yesterday, I used quite frequently with iTunes' airplay function. Then, I installed iTunes 10.4 on my Windows 7 computer (32 bit) and suddenly, airplay does not work.
iTunes can still see the VSX-1021 unit and it shows up, but then when I try to play music to it, it fails with the following error:
"An error occurred while connecting to the airplay device "VSX-1021" An unknown error occurred (-15000)."
Meanwhile, the screen on the A/V unit shows "No Title" while it's in Airplay mode. Normally it would display the track information.
I've already emailed this exact question to Pioneer support, and will follow up here with anything I hear back from them. It's possible they might need to update the firmware of the receiver to support protocol changes created in 10.4
Note: I love that iTunes has finally added Aero effects support for Windows 7 (and Vista, I can only assume), only 1.5 years late to the party. But at least it's there. Sweet GUI effects.

Note: issue can be worked around by disabling the Windows Firewall. Interestingly enough, reenabling the Firewall after Airplay is already playing also does not cause problems; the music keeps playing without issue with iTunes 10.4 - but if I revert playback to 'internal speakers' and then back again to the receiver, the errors begin again.
So, that leads me to believe that the Windows Firewall (and OSX firewall, since I've seen similar threads on the mac side of things) is blocking the network protocol/port that allows authentication with the Airplay device, but once connection occurs, that protocol is not used again.
I've spoken with Apple phone support (thank goodness my work gave me a Mac laptop with a warrantied serial number I could use on them) about this, and have been told it's been forwarded to the iTunes programmers. Hopefully we'll see a patch soon, so I don't need to keep my firewall disabled!

Airplay is not working after the last updates

Hello,
I've updated iphone, ipad air and ipad 4 to ios 8 and apple tv 3 (1469) to newest version (7?).
After that it's absolutely a disaster.
Mostly I using the apple tv for music streaming, sometimes for mirroring...
But it can not be found, I can not select the apple tv on ios devices because it is not there!
The airplay symbol comes after swiping the menu up after approx. 1 sec and theres only the Denon Cocoon to selcet but not the apple tv.
The same on the iMac I can not choose the apple tv directly from the top bar for mirroring and not in itunes for music streaming (but the Cocoon is there), and this altough the imac is also via ethernet on the same router, no wlan connection is required for streaming in this case.
The apple tv is connected by ethernet to the router and I see in the router menu that the apple tv is connected to the internet.
I did a hard-reset but this did not help.
I've tried also with blutooth on or off and rebootet the ios devices.
From time to time one of the different devices shows the apple tv...this morning for example after I turn blutooth on at the iphone and waited 30 seconds, it was there and it worked - sometimes on device shows the apple tv without blutooth and if I connect, nothing happen and the music starts on the device itself.
If I start the apple tv via remote, everything is fine, I find it at all devices including the imac!
If I managed it to start the music streaming with an device (as written, from time to time it works) the apple tv is avaible on all other devices.
For me theres no question that theres a bug in the new apple-tv software (because I can not find it on the imac as well, otherwise I would think the bug is in ios 8).
It is not possible to wake up the apple tv via airplay from sleep mode, I think that is the problem - if I turn off the sleep mode everything is fine.

There appear to be many others with the same issue on here.
Nothing unusual in that after an update.
Generally speaking it's fairly obvious from the volume of such posts if there's a problem with an update or not. On this occasion I'm not seeing the sort of numbers that indicate a widespread issue.

I just updated iTunes so I can use airplay and now it won't open

I am trying to use airplay with my apple tv. I updated both this morning and now itunes crashes as soon as it opens. Is anyone else experiencing this?

You could unplug your router than plug it back in. You could turn the iPhone completely off and then back on.
