Can't connect. No airplay connection

I have 2 iphones 4 and 2 ipads. Sometimes I'm able to connect one of them to my apple tv. Got to say i'm disappointed by the products conectivity

I think when these mobile devices go out of home wi-fi range they lose the Airplay connection and tend not to look for it again when they reconnect - I've found restarting the phone/ipad or enabling/disabling wi-fi can help get the destination back, but it's not as simple as it should be.

I can't get the AirPlay alert to stay off my Apple TV. I'm using AirPlay so it's not trying to connect. It's an alert that tells me what AirPlay is. Anyone know how to get rid of this?

You need OS X 10.8 mountain lion, mirror is a feature of that OS and you need to buy it from the app store, OS X 10.7.5 does not do it.
If you don't want to change visit www.airparrot.com a third party app that can do it.

Can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes

I suddenly can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes on my new Macbook Pro - they are visible but cannot be selected. I can connect to them from other Macs and iPads. Can anyone help, pls? I have set the whole network up several times, rebooted system ie.

I had this happen to me on the odd occasion but now have it sorted. If I'm going to use my Airport Epress(s) I first make sure that my PC is connecting to the AE before I even turn on iTunes.
A problem I was having was that my PC was connecting to my wireless router by default (specifically when my laptop was turned off) and not to the AE. As a consequence when iTunes started it greyed out the remote speakers and sometimes the button was not even showing up.
Now that I ensure my PC is talking to the AE everytime I do not have a problem.
I do have one annoying thing with the AE setup though, if I'm playing music over the AE and I unplug any USB device (printer, USB Key, External drive etc) the wireless connection is broken and I have to start iTunes. I suspect it is a hardware issue relating to my particular HP PC as I have just reformatted and reinstalled Windows XP and it still happens. I can live with it.

Airplay connects and I can't turn it of

f I try to play anything from my iPhone like podcasts or music after the new update airplay connects and I can't hear anything or control the volume buttons... It 's the same problem whether I'm using the speakers or headphones. Anyone know what I can do? I have tried to reset the phone, but that did not help...I

Hi Jody,
It sounds like there may have been an issue during your software update and that your iPad is now in Recovery Mode. You may find the following article useful:

How can I resolve the issues connecting to my wireless connection with my Apple tv?

Ive had my Apple tv for about a month now & I still have not even used it for what I actually got it for. It allows me to use the airplay feature with my ipad2. But when I try to use the home sharing feature it never connects with my apple ID. At first I thought that maybe I'm just typing it the wrong way, but then I used the same ID and password to purchase an app on my iphone & it works. It's not my wireless connection because multiple devices connect to it just fine, without any issues. I tried reseting it, that obviously didnt work. I really just dont know what else to do.

you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

Exactly what problems are you having, have you tried restarting all your equipment including the Apple TV, router and iOS device.

Airplay only works whenever Apple TV is connected through wired connection

Hello,
I got a Apple TV for christmas, however i can't seem to get it working properly with airplay with my ipad mini or iphone.
If i use a wired connection the airplay icon shows up on my ipad and iphone just fine, but if i use the wireless connection
the airplay icon just won't show up, but Apple TV got internet and full signal.
I've use this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215 troubleshoot and tried to find others with the same problem with no luck.
It's the same network they are connected to, they both have internet, but no airplay.
I hope anyone can help me fix this, since i only got 1 internet connection in each room, which in this room is used by a computer.
Thank you in advance.

Have been on Apple products since Apple 2 euro plus in 1982. Apple TV is strictly a wired product if you want a consistent and reliable product. Safe to treat it as a Beta product.

Macbook Pro/iTunes won't connect to Airplay ATV

Hey guys,
I have a bit of a weird problem here and can't figure out what the issue can be. I have an Apple TV (2nd Generation) and a Macbook Pro (Early 2008) that won't connect through Airplay. I can see the ATV in my Airplay/speakers options but when I select it it just gives a prompt that says "Connecting to Apple TV" for about 2 minutes. After that the message disappears and I find my iTunes is still not connected to ATV.
Now here's the odd part... ATV can play my library through Home Sharing just fine. My iPhone 4, as well as my wife's Macbook (white 2008) both connect fine through Airplay too.
The only thing that has recently changed in my setup is a new router (Sitecom WLR-4000). I've tried rebooting that, also tried turning off IPv6 on my MBP but both didn't change a thing.
Anybody have a possible solution??

It seems like I have located the issue. I went on the Macbook and checked the IPv6 settings (in Lion) and for some reason these said 'off', an option that Lion typically doesn't give. After turning IPv6 on, the Airplay didn't connect on this computer either. Upon trying to turn it off, the 'off' option had disappeared.
Then I found a discussion elsewhere on this forum detailing how to manually turn off IPv6 completely within Lion and it did the trick. Both for the Macbook Pro and Macbook.
Hopefully that was it. It's still odd as I'm still wondering what exactly in the router is blocking it from working, so if someone on here has an idea that's more than welcome.
Here's the explanation to turning off IPv6 for whoever needs it:

2012 macbook pro bluetooth/airplay connecter

i broke the bluetooth/airplay connecter on my main logic board, just wondering if anyone knows where i can get a new connecter or what the name of the connecter i broke is and its its a hard fix?

Change the audio source to Apple TV before launching airplay, sometimes this solves this problem.

Airplay-connected Macbook Pro Will Not Play Audio On Apple TV

After upgrading to a Retina Macbook Pro running Mavericks (10.9.3), I can no longer play audio using AirPlay through my AppleTV 2. The video connection is flawless, yet when going into Sound > Output through System Preferences, I can not select AppleTV | AirPlay as an output device. Is this a hardware issue? Is there another fix available?

That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.
Many thanks.

HT204291 Airplay connected briefly for first time and then icon vanished from ipad

I have been trying to locate Airplay on my new ipad3 This morning for the first time it appeared beside the volume control and I had brief success before the message appeared on the TV that Appletv was not connected. Both the ipad and and appletv are connected to the net and I have run photos and music through itunes happily. Now I can't find the Airplay icon and I have never been able to find it in Settings>General. Help

I too have just had a similar problem once I upgraded to IOS6. I removed and then reconnected the wi-Fi to the Apple TV which reconnected the computer to Apple TV. Still no airplay icon on IPad though. So I reset the internet router which reconfigured all the wi-Fi connections and all appears to be working now. Hope this helps.

Bose SoundLink Air and Airplay - Connectivity!

Hi all,
I'm having a long-running battle with Airplay that I really hope someone can offer some help with.
I've had a Bose SoundLink Air speaker for a couple of years now which has always worked fine, except for the last maybe 3 or 4 months.
When trying to play music through the speaker using either my iPhone 5s or iPad (3rd generation), playback will last maybe a minute or two maximum before the connection with Airplay is lost and therefore playback stops. The Airplay symbol will disappear from my phone/iPad for only a second or two and then reappear, at which point I can reconnect and start playing the music again; but the cycle repeats...
Both the iPhone and iPad are using the most recent versions of iOS and, as mentioned above, have worked fine with the Bose speaker in the past. Ironically, I have a PC and laptop, both running Windows 7, that stream music to the speaker flawlessly via iTunes; no drop-outs whatsoever - it only seems to be the Apple products that are struggling! The fact that the PC and laptop play with no issues satisfies me that there are no issues with WiFi connectivity (also, I don't experience any other issues with the network).
If anyone has come across this issue before and is aware of a fix, I'd be really grateful for some advice as I'm now at a loss. For reference, I've made no changes to my network/set up etc. recently.
Thanks!

I moved to a pc and setup and have been streaming - I havent lost connecting, but it is HARD WIRED. It seems to be a problem with every device that is connected to my network thru wireles, and then wirelessly streaming. When I stream to the BOSE from a PC or LAPTOP that is hardwired into the net, we're fine. So far!

Can't connect. No airplay connection
