Can't connect to Apple TV via airplay

Hello I have a 2011 Macbook pro and a iphone 5 and for some reason they won"t connect to my apple tv via airplay.  They see it and I can access my itunes library through apple tv but airplay simple times out.  Any thoughts?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

  • Can iPad3 connect to Apple TV via Airplay, and Bluetooth speaker at the same time?

    I'm making a best man speech using Keynote at a wedding tomorrow, for which I need audio as well as video. The Apple TV is connected via HDMi to the projector, and I can control the presentation wirelessly from my iPad. So far so good. There is a Bluetooth-enabled speaker which my iPad can connect to via Bluetooth, but then it loses the Airplay connnection to the Apple TV. Is there a work around? I guess if I had an Airplay-enabled speaker and not a Bluetooth enabled one, I'd be OK, but I don't have time to go buy one now.
    It appears my only option if I want to use the speaker (which I do), is to use my MacbookPro instead and connect via HDMI straight into the projector and bypass the Apple TV altogether. Which means I'm stuck standing by the macbook pressing SPACE BAR every time I want to change slides, as opposed to using the iPad wirelessly which lets face it would look far cooler!

    Pretty sure you can't route the audio via bluetooth and the headphone jack.

  • Can people connect to my computer via airplay if I use their wifi?

    I've always wondered this about the airplay function, and I'm not sure if that's possible because on the top right hand corner there is an airplay icon and when I look through it I can find some AppleTV's that do not belong to me and are from the place in which I use my wifi. What I mean by the question is can they connect without my permission and view my screen without me knowing?
    I currently use Yosemite 10.10.1

    AirPlay is a protocol, as you know, that is used to stream a multimedia source from an AirPlay-ready source to an AirPlay-ready "receiver." That source can be a computer running iTunes or an iOS device. The receiver can be an Apple TV, an AirPort Express, or an AirPlay-ready third party speaker/receiver.
    As such another computer on the same Wi-Fi network could not use AirPlay to access your Mac's screen or files. That would be a totally different set of protocols. In addition, you would need to enable your Mac to accept these types of requests.

  • Not able to connect to Apple TV via Airplay

    Without changing any settings, I have suddenly begun receiving an error message (-15006) when attempting to enable Apple TV for Airplay of music from iTunes.  Any suggestions on what this might be?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Peer-to-peer AirPlay
    With peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device and Apple TV don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have one of these products, you can use peer-to-peer AirPlay:
    * iPhone 5 or later, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 8 or later.
    * Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later. Find out which Apple TV model you have.
    To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device needs to have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

  • How can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay, how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

  • I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

    I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.  The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay.  The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive.  I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

    If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
    VLC Player may work.

    How big do you believe an ATV is?  They are tiny compared to most devices.
    The ATV is the only AirPlay receiver, short of an actual AV receiver with AirPlay support, but those are MUCH larger.

    i have att u verse modem and it wi fi was not working. So i got net gear wi fi  and connected to att modem .  i connected my apple TV via Ethernet cable to att uverse modem . i did not want slow down my wi fi speed.  My Apple phone is on Netgear wifi .Now airplay is not working .

    Make sure that the Att Modem goes to the netgear router via ethernet cable. Then connect your Apple Tv with a ethernet cable to the back of the net gear router. Airplay wants it to both be connected to the same device, usually.

  • ITunes can't connect to Apple TV sometimes after sleep and wake up

    Hi!
    There are any issues to find in the discussions depending on problems between the ATV and iTunes but no solution helps me to solve the following problem till now.
    I am using a Mac mini (middle 2011) as a central storage for multimedia data. The exact description of the network can you find further down.
    The problem is that iTunes sometimes can't connect to the Apple Tv via Airplay. There is a window open what tells me that iTunes try to connect to ATV. But it doesn't work.
    After determine iTunes completely (normal closing doesn't work because of that open window) and restart it, it will work probably.
    Itunes is connecting to ATV via Airplay immediately.
    Sometimes it works for any days with a view sleep and wake up procedures. Sometimes the problem appears while I'm listen to music after any minutes of starting.
    I send the mini and the ATV to sleep with the remote of the ATV or let it go to sleep alone. To wake up ATV and mini I push a button on the remote.
    Following components are working in my network:
    - router FritzBox 7390 from AVM (2,4 and 5 GhZ at the same time)
    - Mac mini (middle 2011) connected via Wlan
    - two Airport Express with connected loudspeakers in various rooms (Wlan)
    - Apple TV (third generation) connected with home cinema via HDMI and with the network via Wlan
    - Telekom entertain setbox for TV connected via LAN over Wlan bridge
    I have tried to use the whole system with an Airport Extrem as router for wlan but the problem was the same.
    I suppose it could be a problem with DHCP Lease or the Bonjour? What can I do?
    Last but not least...the devices have installed the newest firmware or software versions.
    Thanks a lot for support!
    Norman

    i bit the bullet and re-associated library on ATV. On atv, setting/computers; current library was grayed out, clicking creates a warning that all media on ATV will be lost, it takes its time to earase the disk, then an option to connect to itunes becomes available just like fresh setup. ATV produced a code to enter into itunes. itunes complained that it cannot communicate on port 3689; googleupdate.exe was using this port; disabled googleupdate; rebooted everything for good measure. so now i'm waiting for 100GB of home movies and music to sync to ATV (thanks apple!). one thing that got me stumbled - when ATV showed up, there were not tabs for music, movies, podcast, etc, only settings and photos; solution: deselect 'automatic sync' by selecting 'custom sync' in the settings tab.

    You can send video and audio to an Apple TV via Airplay if that is what you mean, your question isn't very clear.

  • Mirror zoomed-in movie playing on iPod Touch 5g to Apple TV via Airplay?

    Is it possible to mirror a zoomed-in movie (1080p) playing on my iPod Touch 5g to the 3rd gen Apple TV via Airplay? 
    My Soniq TV doesn't have a zoom feature and I know that Apple TV can't zoom.
    I want the movie to fill the entire screen of my TV (I don't mind cropping some of the edges off).  I can zoom in on the movie playing on my iPod Touch 5g but when I enable airplay mirroring to the Apple TV, it reverts to the 1080p format with black bands along the top and bottom.  I know it is using airplay and not mirroring to play the video on the Apple TV but I want to display exactly what's showing on my iPod Touch 5g on the Apple TV.  Is there a work-around or an app in the App Store that enables this?
