Can't AirPlay to Apple TVs

Been having this problem often more and more recently: my apple devices will airplay to Apple TVs, but my apple TVs won't home share with my iTunes on my PC. All devices are on network, reset all, reinstalled iTunes, even changed IPv6 to "linked-local" which worked for a bit. Now I can't get anything. All TVs say must turn on home sharing when try connecting to "computer."
Any help is appreciated, as I'm ready to trash all apple products.

I have tried everything! I have a MBP that works just fine. It sees the apple tv and vice versa. My windows 8 machine does not. I have disabled the firewall and everything else. The fact that my MBP sees the apple tv means my network configuration is correct. Both machines on itunes 11.1.1. Someone help me please!!!!!

How do i know if my macbook can use airplay with apple tv?

AirPlay Mirroring needs an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your computer supports AirPlay Mirroring. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion

Can you have two apple tvs on one wireless network?

Can two or more Apple TVs exist on one wireless newtork?

No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

Can I use two apple TVs in different locations in the same house?

Can I use two apple TVs in different locations in the same house?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can use 2 or more Apple Tv's in different locations in the same house. You can even use them at the same time and watch the same content on each or choose different content.

Can you use 2 apple tvs on the same network with different apple ids and how would your devices know which apple tv to stream to?

Hi,
I was looking into purchasing 2 apple tvs and was wondering if they can be setup with different apple ids. I need to have mine setup with my id and be able to hook my devices to it , but have the one in a bedroom hooked to a different apple id and have my friend's devices stream to that one and not mine. Is this possible?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order that your Apple TV only streamed from your iTunes Library and your friends to your friends, you would both have to have different homesharing ID's.
So far as devices go, any device on a network can stream over AirPlay to an Apple TV, to ensure each of you couldn't stream to the others device you can enable a password via the Apple TV which would then need entering when you used a device for AirPlay.
Shouldn't be a problem to do what you want to do.

Can you use multiple Apple TVs in a single location?

I have a client who wishes to put 4 monitors in a meeting room environment. They would like the ability to play the same image on all four monitors, as well as the option to play different things on separate monitors at the same time. Will Apple TV work for this application?
My thinking is that the Apple TVs could be tied to separate networks for individual devices showing different images and linked to the same network if they wanted all four screens to show the same thing. Am I way off base????

Success, Winston!
It took a few extra steps because of airplay passwords and then it dropped one one the rooms i was trying to add. So fingers crossed that nothing else happens, but its working fine this morning!
One other question.....often when I turn on iTunes on apple TV, it doesnt have my playlists.Says they are not available. Then later I can try it and ther they are. What causes that? Is there a way to prevent that for happening?

Can't Airplay to Apple TV 2 after updating to iOS 7.1

I have updated my iPhone 5 and my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1, and AirPlay no longer works to my Apple TV 2. I can't mirror, I can't AirPlay from YouTube, and I can't display photos from my phone or iPad to my Apple TV 2. On both devices, the AirPlay icon shows up, and they both 'see' the Apple TV, but when I click 'Apple TV' under the AirPlay menu, it gets immediately deselected and reverts to the device I'm using. A few things: my router and network are fine; everything worked perfectly before updating (and the iOS 7.1 update is the only change since the problem cropped up); all my network / router settings are exactly as outlined on the Apple help page; I have restarted all the network components and all the devices; and I even tried the 'change language' and 'Turn off home sharing' tricks to no avail. This is driving me nuts! Does anyone have any other ideas? Does anyone else have this problem too? Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?? My wife's going to kill me if I don't fix this soon as everything worked fine before and my kids AirPlay kid videos every day... thanks in advance!

I just tested it from my wife's phone that's still running iOS 6. I can AirPlay videos just fine. This makes me positive it's not the network and that it's an iOS 7.1 issue. We had 3 devices on iOS 6 for over a year, and AirPlay worked. Then I updated my phone to iOS 7 and everything was still fine. Then I updated my phone to iOS 7.1 and I could no longer AirPlay, but the iPad and my wife's phone still worked. I updated the iPad a couple days ago to 7.1 and it stopped working, but my wife's phone still works. It's a perfect correlation between iOS 7.1 and AirPlay breaking on three devices... I'll try ethernet anyway. Thanks!

Can you have 2 apple tvs working with one computer - both active at the same time?

Can 2 Apple TVs - Generation 3 - work off the same computer?
I can't seem to get the 2nd Apple TV to find the network yet I have full signal and the Network name is correct.
Can they work at the same time using different content?

Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

Can I sync 2 apple tvs on different networks with same itunes account?

I read that you can sync up to 5 tv's with the same itunes library, but do all tv's need to be on the same network?
I've been able to successfully sync both apple tvs from my itunes account that's on my laptop. The first one works fine but the 2nd one keeps restarting itself while playing.
I'm not sure if it's me or the apple tv.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Think I have it now. 2 tv's in different locations and on different networks, laptop connected to tv 1 over network 1 works fine, no go with tv 2 with laptop connected over network 2.
Yes this could be an tv fault, you do however have the opportunity to check this. Swap over the 2 tv's if the problem moves with the tv it could be the tv, if it stays with the same network it could be the network.
I'm not so sure it makes any difference but I assume you have named the two tv's differently in itunes.

Can I setup two Apple TVs on two separate tvs in the same house?

I have one Apple TV set up and received a second for Christmas. Can I use the second on another tv without any issues?

Welcome to the Apple Community Just Nerdy Enough.
Yes (we have 5).

Is there any way that I can use airplay and Apple TV non mirroring, similar to what you can do with a projector and use it as a second monitor/screen?

I am trying airplay one thing from my computer to my apple tv, but at the same time work on something else on my actual computer screen.
Such as airplay a movie to the apple tv but use my computer to work on something else.
Is this possible/will this in future updates.

That was a new feature added with Mavericks (OS X 10.9).

Bought movie on iTunes can't AirPlay to Apple tv Sound but no picture

Hi
I have bought an apple tv today for the main use of buying movies. I have it all connected and soon find out I can only rent not buy from the tv. So I decided to buy from iTunes on my new iPad - the HD movie, with the intention of air playing it to my tv. This works with utube so shouldn't be an issue.
Unfortunately I only get the sound no pictures come up at all. How do I fix this?

This seemed odd, since I rented the movie from the itunes store. And, in fact, once the downloading finished (it takes a long time on this old ipad( I tried again and the movie -audio and video - both appeared on my tv.

Can i airplay to apple tv from a usb hard drive attached to the router using the Home sharing feature

I want to get a Router with a USB port for Home Sharing my library of Music and Movies off a 3TB external HD to my iMac, Apple TV, and iPad so that I don't have to leave my iMac on all the time, but more importantly, I have almost filled the 1TB of memory on the iMac so I need more space. I like my setup using the iPad as a remote to stream movies from the iMac to my AppleTV but I need more space. Thanks.

The iPod and/or MacBook communicate with the Apple TV via WiFi, so there has to be a WiFi network of some sort, even if just an "ad hoc" one set up using a laptop or desktop computer as an access point. If you don't think there will be a WiFi network available, I'd suggest leaving out the Apple TV and just connecting the MacBook or iPod directly to the TV to do your presentation. A MacBook can connect to just about any video input with the appropriate adapter, and the iPod touch can connect via composite or component inputs, or HDMI if it's a fourth-generation iPod touch.
Regards.
