Audio only with Airplay on iPhone

Why can't I airplay videos directly from my iPhone 4S (on iOS 6) to my Apple TV. I only get audio and need to enable mirroring to see it, but the quality is poor this way.
I can airplay videos from my iPad 3 directly.
Help please...

Thanks for your comment ... So, as I understand it, the site has to activate this option in it's code. If this is the same for audio and video, why would the audio work and not the video ?

It needs to be in iTunes, with home sharing enabled on computer and Apple TV. When computer is on and running iTunes you will be able to access via the Computers icon on Apple TV
File also needs to be in the correct format

Annoying audio delay with AirPlay

I'm very displeased to report that there's a tiny (and yet extremely annoying) delay in the audio played from a Sony Home Theather HT-CT150 connected via HDMI to an Apple TV with AirPlay compared to the sound from my iMac. I've tried changing all the settings possible on the HT-CT150 to no avail and so, ridiculously, I had to connect the HT-CT150 to my AirPort Express from which standard RCA cables come out for a perfectly in-sync sound experience. Conclusion, it is the HT-CT150 processing time that creates the delay and there isn't anything I can do about it and so my only option is to find a way to make my iMac to delay its sound somehow so I can adjust it to what I need.
Obviously I don't want to have both the Apple TV and the AirPort Express connected to the HT-CT150 when one device should be able to handle the task. Is there any app (in our outside the Mac App store) that can help me accomplish that?
Thanks in advance for all the help you can provide!

I have the same problem. The first second or so is missing. It happens because my receiver has to "tune" in to the PCM signal. In the mean while my ATV is allready transmitting/playing the song and my receiver is still triyng to figure out what kind off signal is coming in, causing it to skip the first second of each song. Possible solutions are to let ATV wait with playing the song, wich involves some sort off handshaking between my receiver, my ATV end itunes. An other solution could be to put one second of "silence" in front of every song, so my receiver has time to sync to the PCM signal. Both of wich i don't know how to implement. I find it strange that my receiver has to sync to the PCM signal at the start of every song. Why does ATV not keep the PCM signal intact instead of dropping it between songs? My receiver is a Philips model. The problem does not occer when playing music via the iPad. Very annoing problem.

Troubles with AirPlay from iPhones to AppleTV

It feels like our AppleTV works worse and worse with every software update. It worked flawlessly when we first bought it: our iPhones would easily connect to the AppleTV and stream music.
Now, many software updates later, it takes numerous attempts just to wake up the AppleTV and start streaming music from an iPhone. I typically have to start playing music on my iPhone first, then select AppleTV, then wait a few minutes and repeat the process several times until it works.
Things have become even worse after one of the last updates: AppleTV still appears as an available device from an iPhone, but selecting it and starting playing music does not wake the AppleTV up. I either have to wake it up manually using the remote or keep it always on.
Also, after one of the latest updates, AppleTV stopped supporting gapless playback when music is steamed from an iPhone. It happens only if I steam from an iPhone to the AppleTV: If I used headphones, bluetooth devices, or stream from a Macbook Pro, then it's normal gapless playback.
I tried resetting the AppleTV numerous times with no improvements.
I'm quite sure that the problem is not with my iPhone: the same thing happens with all our iPhones (we have several in the house). Also, I have recently upgraded from an iPhone 5 to iPhone 6, and it's the same story with the new device.
I'm believe that there are no problems with our wi-fi network: AirPlay works absolutely fine from the Macbook Pro every time.
Can anything be done?

Just a quick update: I went to the Apple store today and my AppleTV was quickly replaced with a new one, even though my unit was over 2 years old. I checked the new unit at home an everything works flawlessly so far.
If you are experiencing wi-fi issues with your AppleTV similar to mine, check if your unit falls under the 2013 replacement program, before any troubleshooting. I've seen quite a few posts on different forums from people describing similar issues who are unaware of the replacement program. Somehow it went under the radar.
I came across the replacement program only after searching the web for AppleTV's randomly turning off (another issue that became very common in the last few weeks before the replacement).

Audio problems with earpods using iPhone 5

I've noticed that when I use Apple's earpods on the iPhone 5 the audio goes in and out. It's hard to describe. It sounds like the audio of the words drop off at the end like the volume dramatically reduced. It happens for every word or every other word. It makes it hard to understand what people are saying on the phone. It doesn't seem the people I'm calling are having any problems understanding me so I think the problem is only on my side.
This problem never happen on the iPhone 4 so I think it's a unique problem only found on the iPhone 5. My theory is that it has something to do with the iPhone 5's noise cancelling feature since the audio seems to go up and down in volume. I've noticed the problem doesn't happen when I make calls on the iPhone without the earpods.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Is there any way to turn off the noise cancellation?

Encode to audio only with a purchased iTunes movie?

I'm trying to encode to audio only using finder, with a purchased movie from iTunes. When I do this it says complete with an error, and nothing is exported or encoded or anything???

I can't imagine this would work. Movies purchased via iTunes are protected via DRM and thus would resist attempts to decode and save off content.
You could resort to analog methods.

Audio only with default Quicktime for Windows from FCP7

This has happened before and I know one solution is to Export>Quicktime Conversion
However I'm curious to know what is going on when I Export>Quicktime Movie and then give this file to someone to open on a Windows PC they only get sound and no visuals. They have Quicktime Player.
Wondered if this is a bug on my system or if others have experienced this, The movie file plays fine on my iMac.

What codec are you working in (Sequence Settings) ? The export method you described will produce a master file with the same codec. That codec must also be present on the Windows machine to play it back. In this case it would appear that they do not have it.

Movies play audio-only with no picture

I've been having a weird bug with iTunes lately (I'm using iTunes 10.7 in Lion). Sometimes when I play a movie, I hear the audio but there is no picture, not even a black box. It's as if the movie is completey invisible. If I use the drop-down menu to try and watch in "full screen mode" the screen fills up with that gray fabric background that Apple has but still no picture on top of it. If I quit iTunes and then re-open it, then the movie suddenly plays fine. So it's not a serious problem but is very annoying.
I have two monitors on my computer - maybe that is somehow messing things up? Also, it doesn't happen all the time but it happens frequently. I can't seem to figure out any pattern or "trigger" that could be causing it to do this. All my iTunes content is stored on an external USB drive that is getting prettty full but I doubt that's the problem - although you never know so I thought I'd mention it.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?

No "Audio only" with AV cable

Bought Apple AV cable today, videos and slideshows are working fine. Audio on video and slideshows works too.
However, I can not get my music library to play music only through the Apple AV cable.
I have a 5G ipod video.
Any ideas?

We've got an just a plain audio cable plugged into ours. I'm sure you can find them anywhere that would sell tv/home theater eqip.

Power down everything in the network.. start up in the correct order..
Modem.
TC
Any other network devices.
Computers and clients.
Everything needs a couple of minutes to get running before you start up the next part.
If it doesn't fix it.. we need a whole lot more info.
What Modem? Is it a router?
How is the TC setup? How is it connected to the modem?
What are you using for airplay?
We need full details on every part of the network.. otherwise we have no way to help.

No Audio ONLY with FF. Downloaded Media Player for FF...same

Background audio only with headphones.

I have an HP 200 Notebook PC and all the speakers are fine, but when I plug in a headphone on the side audio jack, I can hear the sounds/instruments fine, as well as the default testing sounds, but when it comes to voices, I am unable to hear them. I was hoping someone can help me out.

have you tried a different set of headphones this could be the case. if not there may be custom settings for headphones on you computer

Lost Ipad (Wi-fi only) with Find My Iphone enabled.

I've set the Ipad to "lost mode" including a passcode and a "call me" message on the homescreen. It is currently listed as "offline." Assuming whoever found it tries to get online (and thus allow me to track it) won't the passcode prevent them from doing so? In other words, how can I track it if they are never able to unlock it and sign into a wi-fi network. Also, will my effort to remotely install a passcode even work if they never attempt to get online? How will my remote efforts even work since it's not 4G?
In the interest of clarity (and at the risk of over-explaining): should I remove the attempt at a remote passcode in hopes that whoever has it will attempt to get online and thus allow me to track it? (Stupidly, I did not have a passcode set to unlock the Ipad before I lost it).
Thanks.

IOS 7 Only Allows Find My iPhone with Primary iCloud Account

While iOS7 may be a big leap forwards in most respects, the "Find my iPhone" feature has taken a big step in reverse. This useful feature is NO LONGER AVAILABLE for use with secondary iCloud accounts, ONLY your PRIMARY account.
This may not be a huge concern for most users, because many (including most first-tier tech reps at Apple I've spoken to) seem to believe that you can only have one iCloud account on a device. NOT TRUE. While you can only have one PRIMARY account, you can add multiple additional iCloud EMAIL accounts (go to Settings/Mail, Contacts & Calendars/Add Account/iCloud). In the last iOS, once you created a new, secondary iCloud email address, you could activate many iCloud features for use with the new account, including Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, Safari Data (which never actually worked), and Find My iPhone. Under iOS7, however, Find My iPhone is no longer available. Instead, a small paragraph below the new iCloud email account setup screen says "Only your main account can use Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data, Backup, and Find My iPhone."
Consider two cases where this is a huge problem.
1) We have a large number of company iOS devices that we need to keep track of.
2) Personally, I have an iPhone and iPad, and so does my wife. So do our kids!
In both the above cases, we created a secondary iCloud account, we'll call it "[email protected]", and added it as a secondary iCloud email address on ALL our iOS devices. In the setup screen we disabled everything EXCEPT "Find My iPhone". This account has a unique password, making it possible to see the location of ANY OR ALL the devices using the Find My iPhone App, WITHOUT having to share email, contacts, calendars, etc. among all these devices.
In our company, I can tract the location of any iOS device I gave to an employee, but his personal PRIMARY iCloud account is used to keep his mail, contacts, calendars, etc. secure. He shares this data between his iPhone and iPad, but NOT with everyone else. In my family, we all have our own primary iCloud accounts. I share mine between my iPhone and iPad; my wife and kids do the same. This allows us to keep our calendars, contacts, emails, etc. separated. But we all used the secondary iCloud email account ONLY with Find My iPhone. This allowed everyone in the family to see the location of everyone else, very nice in an emergency. Unlike the Find My Friends app, the device being located doesn't have to respond to a request to be found (very important when finding a lost or stolen device).
In both the above cases, we just log into the Find My iPhone APP on ANY iOS device, using the secondary iCloud account's email address and password (the email address is actually saved in the app, so you really only need to enter the password after the initial login). Viola! You can now see the location of any device that has that secondary iCloud account installed. And a person can still be untrackable if they wish, simply by turning off the Find My iPhone feature under the shared account's iCloud account settings on their device.
Alas, with iOS7 this is no longer possible. With the Find My iPhone feature only available for use with the device's PRIMARY iCloud account, there are only two ways to track another device:
1) Use the same primary iCloud account (which forces you to share other data and features you may not want to);
2) Log into the Find My iPhone APP with the PRIMARY iCloud email address and password of the person you want to track.
Either way, the person doing the tracking MUST have access to the PRIMARY iCloud credentials of the device they are tracking. This is a large security hole! Ask yourself: if you are a parent, do you really want your kids to have access to your primary iCloud account, including your mail, contacts, calendars, etc? Some people may not want their spouse to access that. In a company setting, do you want all your employees to be FORCED to share Documents & Data, Backup and Bookmarks, just to use the Find My iPhone feature? If they want to keep their mail, contacts, calendars, etc. separated from other employees, they will be forced to move these to a secondary iCloud account, which will no longer allow them to share Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data or Backup. Why this ridiculous limitation?
The bottom line:Find My iPhone is now only useful for the primary iCloud account holder, and can no longer be used effectively between larger numbers of iOS devices, such as families or corporate institutions. This should be addressed in the next update to the iOS.

Brad, and everyone else, just to clarify my original post that started this thread, and offer a workaround or two: you CAN still locate, erase etc. any iOS device using Find My iPhone in iOS7, but the device you want to track or erase must EITHER use the same PRIMARY iCloud account as you do, OR you must log into the Find My iPhone app on your phone using THEIR primary iCloud account's username and password.
For parents, that's not a big deal, maybe just an annoyance: give your kids their own individual primary iCloud accounts, but you jot down their username and password in their contact info on your phone. Log Into FMI with that and track them.
The real pain is if you as an adult want others to be able to see where you are, WITHOUT also giving them access to your other iCloud info. For then to see you, THEY must either use the same PRIMARY iCloud account as you do, or they must have your username and password to log into the FMI app...which means they cal also see all your other stuff, even if you turn off the FMI feature on your phone. Anything you share with iCloud will be visible to anyone with access to your iCloud account.
For corporate users who want to track and manage company-owned iOS devices without having all of them use the same primary iCould account, this is a big pain. For families, imagine being on a vacation, or experiencing a disaster, accident, etc, where you'd really want everyone to be able to locate each other, even if they are unable to answer their phone or otherwise respond...a very real possibility in today's world. Now not so easy without compromising privacy and security.
I have three workarounds. The first two use Find My iPhone and so require everyone to use the same PRIMARY iCloud account.
1) the simplest thing is to go to your device under Settings/iCloud and toggle off anything you don't want others to see...but if you have multiple devices of your own (say an iphone and an iPad), this prevents you from sharing with yourself. Bummer.
2) It occurred to me today that with iOS6 there was a way to lock out changes to features in Settings. Sure enough, it still works with iOS7. Enabling this feature allow everyone to share the same PRIMARY iCloud account WITHOUT sharing other things you'd like to keep private. Enabling this feature will prevent the person with the device from making any changes to the Accounts on their device (Mail, Contacts, Calendars), so you'll need to think about what features of these accounts you WANT to allow before following the steps below. ALL THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE PERFORMED ON THE OTHER DEVICES IN YOUR FAMILY/COMPANY, not your own.
A) I suggest entering airplane mode in Settings to prevent the device you are working on from downloading any of your iCloud info during this process.
B) Next, be sure YOUR PRIMARY iCloud account is listed on the person's device that you wish to track (kid's employee, etc). Go to Settings/iCloud to check this, and if necessary sign out of their iCloud account here and sign in with your primary iCloud account.
C) Add a second iCloud account using their personal iCloud email address (the one you just deleted as the primary). Set this one to share whatever they need to (their own Mail, contacts, calendars, etc). If they weren't previously using iCloud for anything but tracking and already had their own email account set up, you can omit this step.
D) Now, decide what features of your Primary iCloud account you do NOT want this person to be able to see or use (mail, contacts, calendars, etc). On THEIR DEVICE go to Settings/iCloud, and toggle OFF any of these things, but be sure to leave anything they need to share. A common issue here will be Photos. Since Photo sharing is now ONLY supported with the primary account, I suggest leaving this on, but you can still prevent them from seeing your new photos if needed. Tap the arrow to the right of Photos, and on the next screen toggle off "My Photo Stream", but leave on "Photo Sharing" which allows them to see, create and subscribe to other shared steams, just not your primary photostream. You can instead make this same Photo setting on your device, which has the same result. Or just disable Photos altogether. Whatever setting suits you the best.
Once you have decided which features of your primary iCloud account you'll allow this person to see, BE SURE YOU HAVE ALSO TURNED ON "Find My iPhone" here.
E) Lastly, go to Settings/General/Restrictions. Tap "Enable Restrictions". Enter a new password (twice- this is NOT the same password for the device, but only for locking and unlocking restrictions, so use a new one only you will know). Scroll down to the "Allow Changes" section and tap "Accounts." Tap to place a check next to "Don't Allow Changes". Exit from Settings.
You're done! Repeat the above steps on every device in your family or company you want to track. You will now be able to track all of them at one time using Find My iPhone on your device, from your primary iCloud account, and they will also be able to see your device location, but they will not be able to see any of your information as long as you toggled it off and then locked out account changes under restrictions. Be aware that they will not be able to add, delete or change any Mail accounts unless you unlock the restrictions. But you will likely have their own separate email account on this device (step C above).
3) if this is too much for you to handle, and tracking is your primary concern, in the App Store there is a free app called "Find my Kids - Footprints" . They just released a new iOS7 version which is unrated, but the previous version was reasonable well rated. After a trial it requires an annual subscription (which removes the ads, and it is VERY cheap), but it irks me to pay for a service that I used to get for free. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to do a bit more that the Find my iPhone app as far as tracking...but it can't lock or erase your device. You'd still need to use their primary iCloud account for that. I'm sure we'll be seeing more apps like this in the near future.
Hope this helps.

Audio Only Experience with CiscoJabberVideo

Anyone else just getting audio only? Was working up to 3 weeks ago and started this behavior. No changes on this side.

Hi,
What device are you calling? Is this happening to all devices?
Have you tried to use JabberFree ([email protected]) from a real public IP (without any firewalls between JabberFree and internet)?
E.g.
Should work: JabberFree > Internet > FW > MCU
In most cases, doesn’t work (depends on the firewall!): JabberFree > FW (on Corp network etc.) > Internet > FW > MCU. This is the normal cause of no media (or Audio only) with Jabber.
So try without any firewalls between, or provide me more information, and I'll look into it.
Hope this helps,
Arne
