Apple tv3 airplay problem

I have an iphone 4, macbook air, time capsule 500gb apple tv 3. When I try to play a video airplay with iphone, video is loaded very slowly, and goes excerpts. When I try to play the video on Apple TV 3 with my homework COLLECTIONS which is located on MacBook AIR, the same situation as with the iPhone. From the Apple Store video is loaded fine. What's the problem?

I finally found the like-symptom causing the issue of missing airplay services on ATV box.
Well, I have one airport express installed in my study room, which connects to the same LAN as ATV3 in living room. Today, I reset airport express to factory setting and reconfigured everything on AirportExpress, including its SSiD, wifi network key and device password. All of a sudden, my iPad, iPhone, iMac lost their airplay connection to ATV3. Port scanning found no airplay services on ATV3 box. It needed box restart to bring up airplay as my earlier walk around solution. I still performed reset -> restore for a "permanent fix".
That said we might have airplay icon disappeared again if there were more than one airplay device on the same LAN that would interfere to each other. Working on one airplay device from ground start would cause airplay service of another box malfunction.
My experience showed this twice. The first was happened when I put an airport express on the same LAN and I posted a thread here for help. The second was in this morning when i reset airport express to factory setting

Apple tv - airplay problems

Hi, I have a Mac from mid 2011 and have now bought Apple TV. I have it all connected but cannot play on my tv the same screen as my Mac. The photos and music files are shared but not the screen. I read that you need to have airplay but I can' t find that. Some say that is because you need a recent system but I have read that mid 2011 macs are capable.
Can someone guide me to either where I can find the switch so that I can watch the same screen on my tv as my computer or tell me how I can download the required feature? Many Thanks for any help

Your iMac should be ok.
From the article linked to above:
The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
Your issue is that you have OS X Lion not Mountain Lion (10.8). 10.8+ is needed for Airplay mirroring.
You can upgrade via the Mac AppStore for a reasonable fee - however the latest version of OS X called Mavericks is not that far away so you might want to hang on for that:

Alternatively look at something like Airparrot though the OS upgrade shouldn;t be much more and mirroring performance shoudl be better from OS X than Airparrot which does not use the hardware features 10.8 and 10.9 do.

HT4437 Apple TV AirPlay Problems

HI All,
I've recently bought an Apple TV, however I'm unable to get AirPlay to work, I checked that both my AppleTV and Ipad are on the same network - they are.
I've upgraded my IPAD ios to 6.1.3, and I stilll don't get the Airplay Icon on any application, and when I double press the front button and scroll across,
again there no AirPlay Icon.
I've looked on forums and found nothing useful so far.
Thanks
Little_Griz

After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.1.3 my dedicated AirPlay button is no longer there (two swipes to the left in the multitask dock). Meaning, I can still AirPlay videos when they're playing, but am not able use AirPlay Mirroring.
I can confirm a close friend of mine just bought a brand new Apple TV, has an iPhone 5 and his dedicated AirPlay button is also missing. He said he has also just updated to iOS 6.1.3, which I have a feeling is the culprit.

Apple TV Airplay Just Stopped Working

Apple TV Airplay Just Stopped Working. I have a second Apple TV that still works with the same connecting devices and no problems. Running 10.8 on my macbook Retina, iphone 5 is up to date and ipad has latest. One day I went to connect and it wouldn't show on my macbook as an available airplay.
So frustrating, I have reset, re-connected via wifi, turned airplay on and off, checked setting on my machine, made sure I am on the same wifi network... still nothing.

BTW, I should clarify, I am specifically having a problem mirroring. Home sharing is on and all my library is there, just no mirroring.

Airplay problems, found something

Hi all,
I don't know if this was already mentioned, due to to large amounts of threads on the airplay problem.
This is what i experienced today.
Whilst sitting on the couch I tried airplay from iPad to atv2, and guess what. I worked! Tried everything, even used the iphone but airplay just kept on working.
The only thing different from yesterday when it didn't work was that the iMac wasn's switched on. And guess what, after switching on the mac, airplay stopped working on atv. Switching off the mac and waiting for a few minutes gave back airplay......
So the mac slash itunes is messing up airplay.
Cheers
Emiel

I'm having a similar problem. WatchESPN app no longer airplays. I wish they would tell you what their update will disable so that we can decide whether or not to update to the new version. This is definitely the last time i update any software without looking at the list of possible problems that we will get. There is no point to me having done this since that is the only thing i used my apple tv for in the first place.

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig? IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all. Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

How to create a 'parallel' extended display through Apple TV Airplay

Dear all,
I'm a relatively new Mac user and have not been able to find an answer to my question by looking up key words in Google or here, so apologies if this has been answered before.
Basically, I would like to know how I can project a video file or a film/TV series I am watching (for example, a video playing in VLC or a film streaming from my subscription to Amazon Prime Instant Video website, open in a browser) onto my Toshiba TV, via Apple TV airplay - whilst still being able to work on a separate window/desktop on my MacBook Air.
As a PC user slowly converting to Mac, I know how to do this on a PC by using the Windows logo key +P shortcut, choosing 'Extend' instead of 'Duplicate' and then dragging whatever video source I want to watch into the extended desktop screen being projected on my TV. I've tried doing this on the Mac by
using the multiple desktops in Mission Control (with no success, as Airplay obviously just mirrors what I'm doing on my screen onto the TV, i.e. switching from desktop to desktop as I do on the computer), or
by clicking 'Extend Desktop' instead of the automatic 'Mirror Built-in Display' on the Airplay icon on the menu bar and then dragging the browser into the extended display on the TV and hitting the 'Full screen' button of the video itself. However, as soon as I do this and click or type anything on my computer desktop, the video automatically minimizes and all I'm left with on the TV display is the browser with the initial smaller version of the film playing within it. In the 'View' tab, I've tried switching Firefox/Safari to 'Full screen' before making the video 'Full screen' too, but again, as soon as I touch anything back on my Mac desktop it minimizes. I've noticed Chrome has an 'Enter Presentation Mode' option available in the 'View' tab, which leaves the video playing full screen, but with a grey bar at the top (which is visually annoying, but still closer to what I'm looking for). Similarly, if I try to drag a video file playing in VLC, as soon as I hit the full screen button, the desktop I'm using on the Mac goes black even though I can still move the cursor on it.
I'm clearly missing a step somewhere, so any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a prolific multitasker!

Hi _MicMacs_,
It sounds like you've been on the right track in trying to sort out this issue. I'm a bit unclear on what you are describing when you say it works initially, but then immediately reverts when you click back on something in your primary display. You may want to try sizing the window to the display instead of using the full screen option (two opposing diagonal arrows), though this will leave the window border around the screen. For a bit more background on working with multiple displays in Mavericks, you may find the following article helpful:

Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas. Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G. Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection. Purchased on with the AT &T cellular. Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all. Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all. Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service. Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's. Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon. So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem. Hence my question.
Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.

Apple has a problem and the cant solve it. I had some very important call but this new iphone just shut down on me and wont turn on i tried everything u can find in apple support nothing works for me. Anyone know what i can do?

I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised. IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement. Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

Apple TV Airplay is Not Discoverable

My Apple TV Airplay is not discoverable by my iPhone 5 or MacAir 2013. I have a brand new Apple TV and Apple Airport Express (weeks old). All software is up-to-date on all my devices. The Apple TV is ethernet hardwired to the Airport Express. My macair and iphone are connected to the same network wirelessly. I have reset and rebooted the AAE and ATV, and restarted my iPhone and MacAir. The ATV at work works fine on both my iPhone and my MacAir, so it is something with my Apple TV at home.
Thanks for any tips. I am pretty technical and I have tried everything I can think of and tried tips from this forum.
