Apple tv airplay and sound

Is it possible to use airplay on TV and have the sound on our device ?

Hi
This is not possible. When you activate Airplay, that ports the sounds to Apple TV, when you activate Mirroring, that then sends over Video.
You could do this with a Mac, and change the preferences in Sound Preferences

Apple TV2, Airplay, and Hulu Plus

My life won't change if this doesn't work, but I would at least like to know "why not" if it won't. I have updated my iPad and my Apple TV2 to the latest operating system and software. Airplay is turned on for my Apple TV.
I started a television show on Hulu Plus, double clicked the interface button on my iPad and chose Apple TV. Nothing happened. The show continued to appear only on my iPad. What have I missed?

Thanks, Chenks! I have learned after 30 years of going back and forth from newbie to oldbie again and again that it is always profitable to ask questions and not make assumptions. There have been many struggles with new Apple TV and I didn't want to just assume I couldn't do it. Have a great holiday season!

Apple TV, Airplay and caching

Hi Everyone
I was just wondering whether our Apple TV (3rd gen) is actually caching the content we view via Airplay from our devices/computers?
In other words, does Apple TV store the content locally in the same way it does iTunes movies, YouTube videos, etc until it runs out of space and overwrites it with new content? And, if so, is there any way to access that content directly from the Apple TV without the device/computer still being connected via Airplay?
So, for want of a "real life" example, I view a home video on the Apple TV via an iPhone connected with Airplay. Five minutes later we view it again, but is it now streaming the same video again from the iPhone or is the Apple TV just playing it from its local cached storage? And if it is using local storage, would there be a way of "accessing" that content without the iPhone still being connected via Airplay?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks!
Joe.

As I understand it, the ATV just buffers (in its RAM) a small amount of the compressed content stream to smooth out any hiccups that might otherwise happen because of brief network problems, maybe up to a few seconds worth.
There is no way of accessing this I am aware of.

Apple TV, Airplay, and Pandora

I have and Apple TV and an iPad. I receive Pandora radio on an iPad app. In the settings on the Apple TV I have turned Airplay on and I have created a password for Airplay. What do I do to stream the Pandora from the iPad to the Apple TV? Where do I enter the password? There is no place for the password on the iPad Pandora app.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The password applies to all apps, once turned on you will have to enter a password after you select the Airplay icon for the iPad on any AirPlay streaming.
The purpose of the password is to stop others with iOS devices interrupting your viewing on the Apple TV, ideal if you have small children with iPods/iPhones.

Apple TV Airplay and Mirroring

I am unable to get any of my devices to work with my second or third generation Apple TV with airplay or mirroring. I have an IPAD 1 and 4, and also a laptop with ITunes that won't connect anymore since I moved.
I have done the following:
I wasn't sure if my apple tv was broke, so I took it to the Apple retail store. He was able to mirror his IPAD and IPhone on my Apple TV, it turned out to be my remote, which now works with it.
All four devices have updated software.
All are on the same network.
All 4 devices are on the same Apple account, I only have one.
I've gotten pictures from the icloud to show up on screen.
On the IPad 4, I double clicked home and slid it to the right twice, no icon.
With my IPAD 1, I used to just play video and the airplay icon would come up, now nothing.
I've tried one suggestion, to change the language setting, nothing changed.
I have checked home sharing, everything is on.
I know I read about taking off the firewalls, but is that something that needs to be done with an IPad? I can see my lap top not working because of this, but IPads that have worked in the past.
I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated.

You mentioned the issue started once you moved, it has something to do with how the network has been setup. Yes, things like firewall need to be looked at because something is blocking the connection.

HT4437 Apple TV - AirPlay and Ipod Touch

I cant find the airplay icon on Ipod touch...where do I find it if trying to connect to Apple tv?

You can double tap the home button, swipe (left to right) twice to bring up the volume slider and airplay icon. You will also see it within apps that are compatible. Make sure airplay is turned on in ATV settings and that both are on the same network. Ensure the iPod and ATV are is up to date.
Note: audio is on by default but not all will be enabled for video, which is up to the developer to do.

Mac Mini used as Apple TV (airplay and apple remote on iphone/ipod)

Yesterday Apple announced the new Apple TV as an iOS device. It can be controlled using the apple remote app on an iphone or ipod touch. I am using a Mac Mini using Air Mouse to control the Mini which is hooked up to my TV. Would it be possible to use the Apple Remote app for this?

Hi Bart,
you could use the itunes remote app to control your itunes music / videos from an iphone/ipod touch/ipad.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote/
Keep in mind the itunes currently uses the remote app in a different manor to the apple tv. I don't think you could use the itunes remote app to for instance rent movies. But ones you had the movie rented you could use the remote app to trigger playing /pausing the movie. But there are some advantages, like you can get a list of videos on the computer on the iOS device.

Sound but no picture on Apple TV airplay from macbook

Hi,
To give a little more depth to this. I was working on a presentation on my Samsung TV on airplay connected through Apple TV, I left the room and then the external display had gone blank.
I am able to connect with airplay and sounds can be played through the TV but the screen is blank. I can my Ipad and Iphone to the tv and everything works fine therefore I'm assuming I have somehow managed to sit on my laptop and done something. All software is up to date, running the latest version of Yosemite and as my other devices work I can only assume I have somehow turned off the display on my computer.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).

Hi jaredfox06,
If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
Try these steps first
Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
If you don't, try these steps:
Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

Hello can some please help I am trying to watch my HBO go on my apple tv I have sound not picture. I can watch my iTunes videos and youtube so I know it works. it is working

Hello can some please help I am trying to watch my HBO go on my apple tv I have sound no picture. I can watch my iTunes videos and youtube on my airplay with my ipad and everything is updated so I know it works. But not on HBO go, Max go, showtime go.

What you want to do does not work with an iPd running iOS 5. See the screenshot.
The latest update for HBO GO does allow for AirPlay on Apple TV - sound and video - but only on devices running iOS 6 and Apple TV running 5.1.1 or later - according to the app description.

Apple tv 3 and the New iPad - I WANT to stream only the sound

Hey guys!
I've got the new iPad and apple tv 3 which is great together!
I have a receiver (which is located in the living room) with Zone2 option and also have outdoor speakers which are connected to that Zone2.
When I sit outside i want to use my great speaker system and use the outdoor speakers using AirPlay and ATV and stream the content to my ATV but the thing is that when i do that I lose my video on the device and the tv (which is in the living room) shows my video feed.
That of course is a problem coz I enjoy my great speakers but can't watch the video (like YouTube video or something else)...
Is there a way to stream the sound only to the ATV?
I found discussions of people who don't manage to stream their video to the ATV and only managed to stream their sound but that was an error and things like firmware update solved their problem...
Found no discussions of people who TRY to stream only the sound, like I want to...
Does anyone have an idea that can solve my problem?
Thanks a lot in advance!!!
Golan

It's actually very easy and doesn't even require splitting the video stream and extracting the audio track from it (which is pretty easy if you have a desktop computer).
If you don't want to play back protected content (non-music videos purchased from iTunes Store), all you need to do is getting GoodPlayer, letting it play audio in background (Settings > Background Audio) and connect to your ATV in non-AirPlay mirroring mode. It'll happily play back the audio track of the video while you can do anything in the foreground. (Note that, in addition to GoodPlayer, other background audio-playback players may also work - it's just that I've tested GoodPlayer in this regard between my ATV3 and iPad 3. Let me know if you need more - for example, a list - info on them.)

ITunes music to Apple TV via Airplay no sound

Please help.
If I am playing music from iTunes 11.0.5 on my MacBook Pro and I use Airplay to sent the sound to my Apple TV it starts playing with sounds as expected.
But 75% of the time when it continues to the next track or song there is NO sound! I can see it plays because the play counter is running on iTunes and my Apple Tv aswell, and it Scrobbles to Last.fm.
I then have to pause and press play, or skip back to beginning of the track to get the sound back. Otherwise it can continue to play the rest of the album, just without sound.
I've tired updating all software and firmware. OS X, iTunes, Apple TV and my Time Capsule.
I've tired disabling the Equalizer. I've tried restarting iTunes, Apple TV and my laptop.
I've run out of ideas to try.
What can cause this issue? Does anyone experience anything similar?
Sidenote:
I first thought it would be the fact that my iTunes media files are stored on my TC and the .itdb and .itl are still on my local HD in Music iTunes folder. But there is no problem when playing music on my iOS devies using shared library (home sharing) with the Music app. Only when Airplaying to my Apple TV.
Apple TV2 5.3(6105)
Time Capsule 4 gen. 7.6.4
iTunes 11.0.5
Any help or ideas is really appreciated, i'm going crazy here

My network and TIme Capsule seems be setup correctly and follow the guidelines of "Recommended Wi-Fi settings" as far as I can tell. But i connected my AppleTV with Ethernet cable, since they basically next to each other. It seemed to help i managed to play 6 tracks in a row . But the problem still persists.
It is strange, i've had this exact settings for years now. And i've never had a problem before iTunes 11 came along. And it is only Airplay to AppleTV that fails, not playing or accessing through Home Sharing.
But perhaps i should start thinking of other ways to store my iTunes media files. The Time Capsule HD is sooo slow reading time. But music, movies, tv shows and apps take up so much space that my laptops 125GB SSD is a no go.
But thanks for help and suggestions anyways.

Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011") and which version of OS X are you running?
