Can't use airplay and multi task anymore.

First of all, I would like to say I love my Apple TV. The one thing I didn't love when I first got it was when I watched a video or YouTube video on my iPad 4 and used the airplay it would show up on the TV but I had to leave that screen open on the iPad and couldn't do anything else while it was on the tv. The same thing happened with my iPhone 5. Then one day it started working. I don't know if it was an update or what but I was then able to use airplay on either device to watch something on the TV from my iPad but able to multi task and get on Facebook or Safari or whatever. Then one sad day came along and it stopped working and worked like how when I first got it, which was a disappointment, especially after it working for so long. Is there anyone out there that knows how to fix this issue? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Ps - my Apple TV is up to date and I have already tried restarting it. 

It is possible that Google broke background playback in the latest update. Unfortunately I cannot check this myself because my iPad is only running iOS 5, whereas the latest version of the YouTube app needed iOS 6.
Still, it could also just be a glitch. In which case restarting your device might resolve the issue.  (eg. press and hold power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears).

  • Can I present a keynote presentation using airplay and Apple TV? How do I set up airplay ?

    Can I present a keynote presentation using airplay and Apple TV? How do I set up airplay ?

    Hi Andy,
    You can do this reasonably easily.
    First up you need to think about how you are going to drive the TV- Your iMac could do it, but a laptop would be easier if you can access one.
    Second you need to look at the screen inputs. If it is a flat screen TV it is likely to have at least a VGA connection which you should have a connector to 'out of the box' and it will work much like connecting your mac to a projector would.
    If not you'll probably need a connector for your mac that outputs composite (a single RCA connector) or S-Video to connect. You'll need to do this connection and find out the resolution the display supports before the big day (I live in a country with PAL which typically is 720x576). Make the Keynote presso the same resolution and you should be all good. A test drive is essential!
    Here's a typical adapter from the Apple Store

    Just as a thought- you could just burn a DVD with the images- it's pretty simple to set up (with transitions) a photo library in iDVD, though a little more tricky if you need the images to appear at certain times.

    Can I use AirPlay on my MacBook Air?  I have an iMac, and it works great with Apple TV.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 If it's compatible, you have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Then, you will be able to turn on AirPlay on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep with OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly

    You don't say which OS version you are running (it's not iOS 8.1). Without necessary information, here are the requirements for Airplay:

  • Can't use Airplay after 7.0.2 ATV 3 update!!

    I can't use Airplay at all on my upgraded 7.0.2 ATV3. No audio and no video. I can have the picture up and running on the iPad Air 2 or iPhone 6 and try to send it to the ATV 3. I get an "unable to send video" warning on the unit sending the airplay but absolutely nothing on the ATV 3 screen. Then Airplay unchecks the ATV 3 and defaults back to the iPad or iPhone.
    Using the same iPad and iPhone, I just tried to use the other non-updated ATV 3 in my den and there was absolutely no problem. I just tried to send something from my Mac Mini to the updated ATV 3 and it wasn't even showing as an airplay option although it was there Friday night! The non-updated ATV is still shown as an option. I've checked the ATV3 settings and nothing has changed. I've forgotten and renewed the network on the ATV 3 and it's testing fine.
    Anybody have any clues? I've checked everything I know how to check!  The only conclusion I can come to is that the update bricked my Apple TV when it comes to Airplay!.

    After many starts and restarts, I've finally got it working again. Don't know what caused it to start working again.
    Tried to delete/change the original post, but it wouldn't let me edit it!

  • Streaming music, movies using airplay and ipod touch on Macbook

    I am not sure if this is possible but let me explain what I have with me.
    I own an ipod touch 2nd gen, MacBook and airport express base station. Now ipod touch has iOS 4.2.1.
    As title says, is it possible to stream music/movies from my ipod touch to macbook(instead of Apple tv). is it possible to use my macbook as an airplay device ? I know macbook doesn't comes with iOS, but I assume it is a superset of iOS.

    No....
    You can only use AirPlay at this time to stream to:
    1. Apple TV
    2. Airport Express
    3. Other compatible powered speakers

  • HT4437 Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Yes, you can use a network storage device for the storage of your content and use it on the Apple TV, but only as part of your iTunes library. So if your question is whether or not you can do this without using your computer or iTunes the answer is no.

  • Can i use airplay if my apple tv is connected to the network by ethernet cable?

    Can I use Airplay  if my Apple tv is connected to the network using an Ethernet cable as apposed to a WiFi connection.

    Thanks. I therefore have a problem as I cannot connect my ipad to the Apple TV. When trying to connect via Airplay my other apple tv appears (that is connected only via WiFi and that connects OK) but the Apple tv connected via the Ethernet does not show. I have looked at all the settings on both apple TV's and the only difference I can see is one is connected via WiFi and the other through Ethernet cable. Any ideas on what I need to check out?

  • What is the calender "default list"? Can i use it to add tasks to my Google calender?

    I am aiming to use some Google calenders in Thunderbird. I have installed the add-on's "lightening" and "provider for Google calender" and added my calenders. This later claims to enable adding tasks to the calenders. I have not succeed, i can only add events. Also, in the calender list, there is an item called "default list" at the end. What is this, and how do i use it. Can i use it to add tasks to my Google calender?
    I will be happy for suggestions on how to add tasks to google calenders in thunderbird.
    Is there a up to date documantation on how to best use calenders and google calenders?
    Thanks in advance
    Ayse

    Never mind.
    It appears that the "default list" is actually the list for tasks in Google Calender, I just couldn't see them at first.
    Now all my google calenders and tasks are in full synchronization. Only thing is that, since google calenders does not provide for options such as reminders and % completed for tasks (which can be set in the home calender), I cant use this information.
