Apple TV gen 3 - AirPlay not visible on wireless network
Hi,
I've just bought a new Apple TV gen 3 however I could not get the airplay to work properly (both on my iPad 2 & iPhone 4s).
A little background info regarding my current network setup, due to the location of my room from my living area I could not get strong signal from my wireless network. To solve the problem I've installed an additional access point in my room with different SSID but utilizing the existing internet access via a powerline network adapter. This has solved my wireless coverage issue within my home.
As my Apple TV is installed in my room, I connected it to the wireless network in my room. Everything is working well (i.e. access to internet, connecting to my iTune account etc and YouTube are no problem) except AirPlay. I can't see the AirPlay icon on both my other apple devices. However, I can use the Remote app on my iPad to control my Apple TV but just cannot use AirPlay to stream anything from my other devices to Apple TV.
I tried everything such as reset the Apple Tv & reinstalling its software, soft resetting my other devices and forgetting the network etc but to no avail. I suspect that the problem may be related to my wireless network so I tried connecting the Apple Tv to my original wireless network, it can connect but the signal is rather weak. I then connect my iPad to the same network. This time I did get the AirPlay to work but due to the weak signal on the iPad using the original wireless network AirPlay keeps dropping off nd when it works it is very slow.
Is there any ways of getting AirPlay to work properly over the new network in my room which has much stronger signal if I connect both my oPad nd Apple TV to it? Pls help....
Hi jcool17,
Thanks for replying. Yes I do have 2 SSID broadcasting and all my devices are apple devices are connected to the same SSID which is in my room but AirPlay won't work.
No, my current wireless devices in my room is not Apple. Used to have an Apple Airport Express but it died on me after 3 years. Got a good deal on a Dlink which I bought to replace the The AE.
And yes, AirPlay is turned 'on' on my Apple TV.

I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"
Welcome to the Apple Community Willy.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device. -
Error: "can not scan for wireless networks" 1st gen iphone running 3.1.2
My iphone will no longer scan for wireless networks. I am running an airport network via my imac and the rest of the computers, as well as two iphone 3GS phones can see it, but my 1st Gen iphone now gives me the error "can not scan for wireless networks". I have done the Home + Power button thing, reset the network settings and no help yet.
Any suggestions?OK. There are reports of bad wifi chips, but lets try some more things first.
I assume your router is set to b/g compatible & not "n" only, correct? The iphone only works on g. Next, try this: Shut down the WiFi, and turn off "Ask to Join Networks". Then turn the iPhone completely off, by holding the top button down until the red slider came up, slid it off, and wait a few moments.
Turn the phone back on, then turn on the WiFi, and then "Ask to Join Networks".
See if that helps. -
Hello, I installed my new Apple TV and successfully completed the configuration (Wireless network, Apple ID, and others) yet I am always in the Computers and Setting page… can’t move to the main page – any idea on what and how, please?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore. -
IPad could not scan for wireless networks
My iPad 2 was bought in April 2011. And just a few hours ago it suddenly disconnected from my home WIFI.
I tried to reconnect it, but it either kept scanning the network or kept prompting the warning message "iPad could not scan for wireless networks".
My Macbook Pro, iPhone and another iPad 3 were all working fine with my two different WIFI points at home yet only my iPad 2 couldn't scan both WIFI at all.
I have tried to:
1. Reboot IOS (turn it off and on)
2. Take out sim card
3. Reset Network Settings
4 Reset All Settings
5. Restore iPad from iTune
I've called Apple, obviously they had no clues about this problem and they just adviced me to send in my iPad 2 for 1-to-1 change.
This seems to be a common unsolved issue for apple users. Has anyone solved this before?
Now I'm worrying will my iPad 3 get the same issue in future. it makes me quite frustratedLook at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

"could not scan for wireless networks" iphone6 or iOS 8?
new iPhone 6 with iOS 8. Wifi works fine for a few hours and then drops. The wifi connect screen sits there spinning and if I attempt a manual connecation I get the message:
"could not scan for wireless networks"
Only solution so far has been rebooting.
No issues with older devices and iOS 8. Just the iPhone 6.
As this issue seems to come out every time Apple release new hardware I am hoping it's just a bug that will be squashed and as such wanted to bring it up on the forums. Will also report to support.Hi Uncle Ook,
From what I've read, other iPhone 6 users have experience this issue too. I've read that by doing these steps it may help resolve your issue:
Open Settings
General
Reset
Reset Network Settings
Enter your Passcode if prompted
Tap Reset Network Settings
What this will do is reset your network settings. By doing this we'll reset any issues to default settings that'll help fix your issue by setting the network settings to default settings.
You'll see a series of different screens. This is normal. Just wait until it's completely done. You'll know when it's done when it takes you to the lock screen. You'll need to unlock your iPhone after that and try reconnecting to your wireless network that you were attempting to join. I'm not sure however that these steps will help permanently or temporarily, but I'm sure Apple will fix this issue within the next update that comes out. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask. -

Can not connect to wireless networks with ipad 2
My ipad used to connect to the wireless net at home and in public areas.
Now all by the sudden it can't "see" the network.
Message: " could not connect to wireless network"
I have tried "everything" also on different networks,
except resetting the modem.
My iPhone works, as do all my other computers.

HELP!
i cannot get wi-fi on my iphone - says no wi-fi and is not highlighted despite wireless networks being availableHi, my iPhone 4S had a similar problem in February 2011, after several attempts to revive it, and nothing has worked, as I was traveling to the U.S. in May, and was still under warranty at no cost to me changed.
But now a year later the new phone looks similar to make a software upgrade problem. The WiFi only works to no more than 2 meters from the antenna WiFi, then away more disconnects, not a router problem as all other wireless devices will work fine as ever. What happened? my phone will have lost its antenna gain?. I live in Argentina there is no Apple Store here, I do not travel to the U.S., from what I saw on the website of apple change the phone for an equal (which will surely have the same problem) miss u $ s 200. I am really disillusioned with Iphone. I think it must have been damaged wifi antenna that receives wifi signal but low sensitivity or a lot, will this model of Iphone has a general problem with any batch of antennas?, because I happened on 2 different phones -
I have a Netgear wndr3400 and I can "join a wireless network" but can not "extend a wireless network" on my Airport express. Does anyone know why?
Sorry, but "Extend a wireless network" is a proprietary Apple setting that will only work if you have another Apple router.
It is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers. -
Operating System: os x 10.9.1
Airport Utility 6.3.2
Airport Express 802.11n (1st generation)
Linkus router: Model WRT310Nv2, Firmware Version 2.0.01
Motorola Cable Modem: Model 2210-02, Firmware 7.7.3r5
The Airport Express (AE) is setup to join my wireless network using Airport Utility. A printer is connected to the AE with a USB cable. After the setup the AE light is green and the printer can be accessed over the wireless network.
The problem starts if the router is cycled off/on. Now the AE will not rejoin the wireless network and there is a non-flashing amber light. If the power to the AE is cycled off/on the AE reconnects to the wireless network.
This is about as handy as a screen door on a submarine.
Is it possible to see the setting of the AE the same way the modem and router settings can be accessed? Can this issue be fixed?If they send you a replacement printer it will have ink tanks with it. You can store the ink tanks from your current printer and use them later on you "new" printer if you wish. Store them nozzle-up so they do not leak.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

TS1559 could not scan for wireless networks.
Wifi not working on my Iphone. All I get is "Could not scan for wireless networks." Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
If no change after powering the iPhone off and on and/or after a reset which is similar to a computer restart, try resetting network settings on the iPhone at Settings > General > Reset.
If no change after that, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup but update the iPhone's backup immediately before doing so for later use.
If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
