Apple TV2 streaming via Airplay. No picture, but sound

Internet ok, Youtube ok, but streaming from iPad 2 via Airplay to TV 2 is only sound, no picture

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What are you trying to stream via AirPlay, websites and apps need enabling by the developer, not all are. Some simply haven't got around to it and others don't want to (often for licensing reasons I assume)

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • Problem connecting Apple TV2 to projector when passing through Sony Sound Bar

    I'm having problems getting my Apple TV2 to work now that I'm passing it through my new Sony HT-CT150 Sound Bar to my Epson Megaplex Projector MG-850 (720p) Projector. I keep getting a "Not Supported" error on my projector - as opposed to a "No Signal" error which is what happens if I was to unplug the Apple TV.
    My HDMI cables are all new and latest specs. I can connect the Apple TV directly to projector with either cable and it works fine. I have a 6 ft HDMI connecting the Apple TV to one of the Sony Sound Bar's 3 HDMI inputs and then a 40 ft. HDMI running from the sound bar's HDMI out to the projector's single HDMI input. Oddly, if I reverse the cables, it seems to work. Same two cables - just switching which one is connected to the Apple TV and which is connected to the projector. (I need the length to get to where my projector is positioned. Though I might be able to get by with a 30 ft. cable if length might be the issue.)
    Anyway I think it must have something to do with the HDMI handshake or the lenth of the cables but don't know enough about it and have no idea why switching which cable comes first would fix the problem.

    Ok,  I will ask the question in another way... My apple tv has one hdmi, and it goes to my hd projecter.. But projecter has no speakers, and as a result I've no sound at the moment. I am looking for a clear direction to go in, to solve lack the of any sound.. My only option seems to be, using the optical out from the apple tv.. I don't have  any equipment with this conecter. And I've never used optical before..   If i buy an, optical to twin phono converter and then I can plug into a large powered speaker I've got in my living room. And I will have big sound easily..?? Do I have any other reasonable options for optical enabled speakers, or AirPlay speakers or something simple I'm not aware of that will give me sound easily.. I don't want a messy 5:1 system, my house is very tidy, and I want to keep it that way. .  Only having this optical out is frustrating, and I need to get my head round the options I have.   Anyone understand from experience how to use the optical apple tv out.  Also, not  using anything but apple tv, no dvds, or tv , just apple tv and my ipad.. Is very quiet in my home right now though.  Ric

  • Apple TV2 unit makes an ultra-high pitch sound every 40 seconds

    This just started happening about two hours ago: every 40 seconds our Apple TV2 makes this dog whistle-like sound that pierces through the whole house. Has this happened to anyone else? I have tried recording the sound but the mic on my iPhone can't pick up the sound. (btw, my wife hears it too, in case you thought I was just being crazy haha)

    Looks like it was the iPad Mini that was next to my Apple TV2

  • Streaming iCloud movie from iPad to Apple TV via AirPlay resulted no picture but sound.

    I notice that movie (iTunes purchased) that store in my iPad 2 when AirPlay to Apple TV 3 everything fine but for iCloud movie streaming (iTunes purchased that store in iCloud), I only manage to get sound from Apple TV 3, no picture. Apple TV only displayed running time. This happen after Apple TV new updates few days ago. Before update, everything is fine.
    I used iPad 2 to stream iCloud movies to Apple TV because the streaming is much faster than using Apple TV 3 own streaming which some times the buffer took quite some times to load.
    And why on my iPad 2 which still running iOS 5.1.1 the AirPlay icon missing the Mirroring on/off icon. In AirPlay I can only choose iPad or Apple TV but without the Mirroring on/off icon.
    If I AirPlay iTunes purchases movies (iCloud Streaming) to Apple TV, my Pioneer AV amp decode Dolby Digital 5.1 but if I connect using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI into Pioneer AV amp, I only manage to get PCM Stereo track.
    If the iTunes purchases movies have been downloaded and store on my iPad 2, then either AirPlay or using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI, my Pioneer AV decode Dolby Digital 5.1
    I planning to purchase Mac Mini for storage iTunes purchases movies and listening music plus some PC users. Should I ditch Apple TV or should I use both ?

    That app has not been enabled for airplay, it is up to the developer to do so

  • Apple TV stops streaming via AirPlay when iPhone 6 Display goes black

    Hi,
    when my iPhone gets locked and the Display goes black (standby) after 2 Minutes, my AirPlay stream to my Apple TV 3. Gen stops playing. Only when i set the standby/lock time time to never instead of 2 Minutes (and the screen is on all the time) the Stream wont stop.
    Sometimes the stream does not stop, wenn my iPhone Screen goes black.
    This also happens with an iPad Mini or using an Lightning to HDMI Adapter instead the Apple TV.
    I have no idea why.
    Please help.
    Best regards
    Sebastian

    On a sidenote, I also have an ipad and normally homesharing with the ipad works fine, but after having an apple tv incident, I have to restart the mac for homesharing to work with the ipad

  • Apple TV streaming and airplay trouble?

    Hi all
    Ok so I've read numerous threads and troubleshooting  on this subject and it seems to be a running theme.
    So I'll start with my issues
    My Apple TV has a hard time consistently streaming netflix or connecting with airPlay (unless I am playing something off of YouTube or showing pictures)
    The audio is patchy
    TV and movies won't load
    No error sign shows up the wheel keeps spinning
    My tv and phone have both been updated
    I've tried restarting numerous times
    My Apple TV is literally right on top of the wireless modem
    The signal strength is strong on all devices
    I've tried unplugging my modem
    I've tried air playing itunes, soundcloud, 8tracks and grooveshark but only YouTube works consistently without fail
    My netflix is not logged in to any other devices
    However When I do log on with other ones (my computer or ipad) it works fine
    Even when nothing else is on the wifi network I still have trouble
    -Sometimes- it works fine but I don't know why as I haven't done anything different
    And it's not just this appleTV, I have a second one that responds in the same fashion
    Any ideas short of physically connecting the appleTV directly into the modem?

    That would indicate a network issue, typically interference. You should not have the ATV sitting on top of any device. Signal test on the device won't give an accurate indication, you need to go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report.

  • Still stream via AirPlay/iTunes if wired via ethernet?

    I want to wire my AppleTV (third gen) to my Airport Extreme via Ethernet so that streaming from my MacBook Pro (which acts as media server) will stream faster. (The MacBook Pro is also wired to Airport Extreme via Ethernet.) Will I still be able to stream to my AppleTV via other MacBooks and/or iOS devices on my network that aren't hardwired to the Airport Extreme but access the same wifi network from my Airport Extreme?

    Actually the title says AirPlay and wired, not Wifi, but that's ok.
    I understand completely the four different connections you mention, believe me. I'm just trying to understand if I can still stream to my AppleTV if I connect to the Ethernet port. Other posts have suggested that the wifi on AppleTV is turned off if Ethernet is connected. And I'm not clear if streaming thru iTunes/Airplay only happens through a wifi connection. Or if it really just works through your local network regardless of how the devices connect to it (Wifi, Ethernet, Airplay, etc.)
    Apple doesn't explain this clearly -- rightfully so, since they want it to just work and not focus on the backend of HOW it works. But I'm unclear in this particular situation.

  • Apple TV streams with my iPhone fine but with my iPad I get sound only..any tips ?

    When I stream iplayer with Apple TV using my iPhone it works fine but when I try the same thing with my iPad I can only get sound and a box on the tv that says ' internet radio'. Any tips please?

    Safari on Macbook or other PCs does not support Airplay to AppleTV. Some people have added this support using Safari extension called ClickToPlugin but it only works for appleTV Ver 4.3 or older.
    It would be a very useful addition to Safari. Granted that YouTube and other video sites are supported directly on the appleTV but searching is so much easier on the PC.
    I wish appleTV or Safari product manager or a developer sees this and can add support for this to Safari natively. It will surely help for better adoption of both Safari and appleTV !

  • Apple TV (atv) no sound via optical or analog BUT sound through HDMI

    Hi all,
    This is my first post into the forums. I spent some time searching for problems with Apple TV audio and as a result I think I already know the answer to my question, but would appreciate a second opinion.
    My Apple TV is about 1.5 years old (no AppleCare) and has been working fine up until last week. I am using two audio connections:
    1) HDMI to the TV (with tiny speakers)
    2) digital optical out to the receiver (with bigger speakers... receiver has no HDMI input)
    We've been watching videos (youtube, etc) through the TV speakers (over HDMI) for a while, because we we had to keep things very quiet in our apartment. Then one day we wanted to watch a movie, so we turned on the receiver... to the overwhelming sound of silence.
    Rebooted repeatedly times, pulled the power cord out, let it cool off, etc etc. Tried a restart via the diagnostic menu... still no output over optical. I tried analog... no sound there, either. I swapped out RCA cables for the analog connections, tested it with a CD player so I know that the cables are good, and the ports on the receiver are good.
    So after all that troubleshooting, audio works over HDMI, but not optical or analog.
    Then I pulled out the digital optical cord and looked into the port. Sounds silly, but usually there's a red light on when the ATV is on, right? (or for any device with digital optical connections, for that matter). There was no light. I looked at the end of the optical cable, which was still hooked up to my receiver. The tip of the cable was definitely lit up.
    So... my guess is that somewhere within the logic board, there's some sort of component failure on the optical/analog outputs. Has anyone had this happen to them?
    Now, regarding options:
    I read one post in the forum that says the repair cost is approx 2/3 the cost of a new unit... ATV retails on the Apple web site for $229, which pegs the repair price at approx $151. Does that sound right to others? Having taken a look at the teardown guides, I'm sure this will be a "replace the logic board" repair, which will probably be one of the most expensive options.
    Thanks very much!

    I have the same exact setup as you. Fortunately for me, mine works well. I can't speak to the ATV replacement option, but I do have a suggestion. On my Denon receiver, I have to assign the optical input from the ATV to the receiver (it does not happen automatically).
    Good advice...but I'd assumed they'd had it working successfully before.
    This may sound simplistic, but just checking to see if you ever went through that process. Also, just curious to see if this setup ever worked for you. In reading your post, it sounds like this is the first time you had ever used your receiver with the ATV.

  • Apple TV2 streaming problem

    Error Message when I try to stream iTunes from my MacBook Pro to AppleTV:
    "The AirPlay device “Apple TV” is currently being used by someone else. Please select another device from the menu at the bottom of the iTunes window."
    No other device is playing to the AppleTV.  How do I fix this so I can listen to

    Yep, that fixed it.  I had been watching a YouTube video on the AppleTV yesterday and paused it.
    Thanks!

  • Apple Photo Stream is not pushing pictures from my iPod to my computer?

    I have an iPod Touch 4g with iOS 5.0.1.
    iCloud is set up on my iPod and computer.
    When I take a picture on my iPod, it does go into the Photo Stream in the Albums, but when I go to check my Photo Stream Folder on my computer the picture is not there....how do I fix this?
    I have restarted my iPod and computer.
    In Settings>iCloud the Photo Stream is on.
    In Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars the Fetch New Data is set to Push, it is ON, the fetch is for every 15 minutes, and under advanced the i Cloud is set to Push.
    Why is it not automatically pushing my photos to my computer?
    (I know it's set to 15 mins, but even after 30 minutes still nothing.)

    Unless you chose to copy full-sized images to the iPod when you synced then all that’s there are tiny thumbnails and they are useless to you, even if you could recover them. They would print about the size of a postage stamp.
    the pictures are still playing on my screen saver but I cannot find them anywhere on my hard drive.
    These are simply cache files, and not recoverable.
    Your best bet is to use a file recovery software on your Mac, such as File Salvage

  • Impossible? Stream (via Airplay) audio of film from iTunes on iMac over to airplay speaker?!

    On the iPad i can happily stream the audio over to my B&W Zeppelin Air, when watching a video. But this appears impossible on a Mac! eh?!
    It works fine for audio. You can even have multiple speakers. but not for audio when there's video?! Is this something to be added in Lion or iTunes 10?! I hope so! Seems ridiculous i can do it on an iPad but not an iMac. I just assumed it would. Bizaar.

    you should be able to do what you want using Airfoil.

  • Can I charge my iphone5 while streaming via Airplay?

    I have an iPhone5. I am thinking of buyring an airplay enabled speaker for use on the deck I would like to have my iphone plugged in to charge (and perhaps to simaltaneously output to the connected indoor stereo. Is this posssible to do, or does plugging the phone into a dock shut off airplay streaming?

    It works while plugged in
