Apple TV shows up duplicated when attempting to airplay form iOS device

I have a 2nd Generation Apple TV and recently updated it to iOS 8 along with all my other devices.   Recently however a problem has occurred when I go to airplay from my iPhone or iPad to the Apple TV.  Two Apple TVs show up, when there is only one, and one of them requires a passcode, which I do not have set up on the Apple TV.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  How do I fix?

It can't be neighbors.  My computer is not picking up this 'other ghost' apple TV, and I have the Apple TV plugged to ethernet and my phones bluetooth is off so there is not other way to connect to my apple TV but through my network and there is no way I am connecting to anyone leases.  I changed the name of mine so it shows as 'Living Room' and right above it shows another apple TV just called 'Apple TV'.

    How do I work through "Your Apple ID has been disabled" on an Ipod Touch?
    My child's Ipod touch displays "Your Apple ID has been disabled" when attempting to update game Apps.  I have reset the password, and reset the Ipod to factory settings; did not resolve.  This began by entering wrong Apple ID password multiple times.  Thank you.

  • Media out or not loaded correctly when attempting to print since iOS 7 upgrade?

    Since ios7 upgrade my mini gives me "media out or not loaded correctly" when attempting tp print to Epson r2400. Apple support directed me through a new setup. It worked for a few days and on it's own reverted back to the original problem.

  • When is gaikai coming to iOS devices cause I'm getting kind of ticked with the same fake lie, gaikai is soon coming to iOS devices crap. What kind of service is this if you can't get what you want when you apparently want it? Apple, do something!

    Apple devices always says for gaikai, "gaikai coming soon to iOS devices" but I have had this iPad for 2generations (updates) iOS 6 and 5 yet there is no change to the same excuse. I smell something fishy and I am getting irritated with the same excuse. Just give people the gaikai folks!
    It's easy as abc and 123. I do not want to erase my contents and sell this device for this cause. Please give the gaikai for the sake of sim lovers out there!

    Contact the Gaikai developers. It isn't apple your mad at

  • Air Play from my Apple TV can't been seen on any of my iOS devices?

    I've tried everything... Rebooting my router, rebooting my modem, restarting my Apple TV, changing the language on my iPad and nothing seems to work. Even though my Apple TV shows that it has a strong connection to my network and all of the other iOS devices are working properly, I can't get my Apple TV to been seen by my iPad2, iPad mini, or either one of our two Mac Book Pros.  I know Air Play works on my MacBook because I use it at work all the time for displaying on conference room displays, but our Apple TV remains invisible to all of the other iOS devices in our house. 

    make sure the required ports are not blocked in your router
    Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products
    and test by connecting the Apple TV by ethernet and the computer by ethernet
    and some routers keep ethernet, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz as separate networks and one needs to bridge them in other for devices to talk
    and finally if you own the old aluminium Apple TV then it does not support airplay at all

  • My contacts do not show up on iMac but do show up on iCloud web page and my iOS devices.  Any suggestions?

    As stated, my contacts are present and correct on all my iOS devices and on iCloud.com but they do not show up in contacts on my new iMac.
    The accounts details are the same and the password has been accepted so I assume it is correct (I have re-entered it numerous times on the iMac) yet still the contacts won't appear.  This also affects Messages whereby the sender appears as a number and not as a contact.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I was sure I'd tried this already but gave it one more go to no avail.
    Any other suggestions?

    After connecting AppleTV 3 with USB and starting iTunes you need to connect the power - the steps are different to AppleTv2 which does not need power after connection.
    IS your itunes up to date? It may not know about AppleTV 3 if it's more than a few months old.

  • Charging Icon doesn't show up (completely) when attempting any kind of charge (computer, plug, car)

    When plugged in my charing icon doesn't show the lighting bolt to verify charging. The battery itself just stays at the very low red icon. Any help out there?

    Hiya!
    Failing that, you can try plugging the phone into the charger, with it ON and still plugged in... remove the battery. leave it out for a minute and then reinsert it.

  • Press Quality PDFs created in CS4 show as "damaged" when attempting to open in Acrobat 5

    I've been having problems creating PDFs that can be opened in Acrobat 5. While using InDesign CS4, I'm trying to print to the Adobe PDF driver using the Press Quality setting, which as it states "can be opened with Acrobat and Adobe Reader 5.0 and later." However, when someone tries to open the resulting PDFs in Acrobat 5, they get a message saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." They open just fine in Acrobat 9.
    I have been able to export to a PDF and get it to open successfully in Acrobat 5, but unfortunately this is not an option with one file I'm working on (I need to print color separations as a PDF and then pull it into PitStop Pro to make adjustments). Does anybody have any ideas as to why Acrobat 5 isn't able to read these PDFs?
    Running Windows Vista Business with SP1 on a Lenovo with an Intel Core2 Duo processor and 3GB of RAM.
    Thanks.

    If you print to the Adobe PDF printer you are creating a PS file that is then automatically loaded into Distiller for conversion to PDF. Printing to a different PS file should not make a difference, unless the PS driver is substantially different. You can also print to file with the Aodbe PDF printer and then convert with Distiller (eliminating the automatic Distiller step). If you are printing to a network location, that may be the issue. Acrobat has long had problems with some network connections. To check this out, you might print locally and then move the file to the network drive.
    In terms of posting a file, you have to put it on a separate server and then post the link.

  • Apple Mail Rules dont apply when mail is READ on other devices!

    Hi,
    I use IMAP settings on Apple Mail (v4.5) and also check my emails on the iPhone (iPhone also set up with IMAP). However if i have read an email on the iPhone then when i switch my computer on the incoming Apple Mail Rule that applies to that sender does not seem to work. It keeps the mail within my Inbox and does not transfer the mail/message to the desired folder.
    However, if the same sender sends me an email which i do not read on the iPhone and then switch my Apple Mail ON, then the mail is automatically transferred to the desired folder.
    It looks like the problem is only with READ mail and not UNREAD mail. 
    Is there a fix for this? There seems to be a lot of people having the same issue and was wondering if there is any work around on this?
    Would really appreciate any help from anyone on this.
    Regards,
    Jay
    PS: I recently moved from Outlook 2011 on MAC to Apple Mail as i heard is a far superior mail application and works smoothly. So far everything about Apple Mail has been correct, it is a fantastic app, however this Rule problem is pretty basic and surprised that Apple still has not fixed this.

    Hi Glenn,
    Many thanks for this. Unfortunately i dont have this facility on the server as we are using a simple opensource mail delivery and storage service, so the rules would have to be set up on the computer.
    I was using Outlook 2011 and prior that was using Entourage 2008 and both worked well with the IMAP rules. Nothing was ommitted and everything READ or UNREAD was imported and the rules applied. It's only in Apple Mail that these rules dont seem to work.
    Is there no other work around? No Apple Mail Add-Ins? I see quite a number of people complaining about the same problem and i'm surprise that Apple has not found a solution for this.
    Anyway, thank you soo much for your reply. Much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jay

  • Downloaded Itunes 11.  Get error message :  An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to Airplay device "Apple TV".  Same message when connecting to my Airport express device connected to stereo.

    I have third party Airfoil.  All devices and connections are working when I choose Itunes as the source in this program- but not in Itunes itself.  I have tried basics - resetting everything - but this was not successful

    As an update, tried to connect from a Macbook Pro with an older ITunes and all devices show up, connect and work fine.

  • HT1414 Connection timeout when attempting to restore Ipod IOS

    Hi. I am attempting to restore mi Ipod touch, as there is a problem syncing it with ITunes at the moment, the software works fine until the Ipod it connected, and then it just hangs on the computer, it will not sync.
    I am attempting to restore the Ipod, but when I try to do that my connection with Apples always times out, so the iOS does not update.
    Anyone had this issue before, and if so, how did you get around it?

  • IE crashes to desktop when attempting to display forms on OAS

    This is on a server running Windows 2003 server SP2:
    - Install OAS 10g R2 (Infrastructure + Forms/Reports)
    - From the OAS server, start IE and enter the URL to call the formservlet to display the test.fmx form
    - IE crashes to desktop
    - Attempting to access the Jinitiator console via Control panel --> Jinitiator does not work
    - Attempting to uninstall Jinitiator via Control panel --> Add/Remove programs does not work
    - Only affects IE on the OAS server. From other machines, using IE to access the formservlet to display the test.fmx form works perfectly
    We have come across this problem once before on another server, which we solved by adding the Jinitator x.x.x\bin folder to the PATH environment variable. However, this time, this solution does not work.
    Any clues?
    Thanks
    Edited by: user577087 on Nov 4, 2008 2:02 AM

    Thanks for the advice BGrant, we appreciate the replies.
    We managed to get Jinitiator working thanks to an email from Rolf Weilenmann and thought we would share it.
    Apparently Windows 2003 server SP2 Data Execution Prevention (DEP) thinks java is a dangerous piece of code and blocks execution which is why:
    - IE closes immediately upon trying to run the Jinitiator plug in (with no error message and nothing in the server logs either)
    - Jinitiator console cannot be started
    - Jinitiator cannot be uninstalled using Add/Remove programs
    The solution sent by Rolf which we used and found working was to exclude java.exe from the Data Execution Prevention:
    1. Go into Control Panel --> System --> Advanced --> Performance --> Settings --> Data Execution Prevention.
    2. Select "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select".
    3. Browse to \program files\oracle\jinitiator 1.3.1.28\bin (or whichever version of Jinitiator is installed) and add java.exe to the list.
    If more than 1 version of Jinitiator is installed, pick the one that is used by the Forms server (Check <oraclehome>forms\server\formsweb.cfg for parameters prefixed by jinit*)
