Cannot get airplay icon on mac mini 2012 (newer version-mountain lion) or on ipad2 (ios6.1) any ideas? Apple tv says to turn on home sharing, but mac mini says home sharing is on

Does anyone know if this is router issue that does not allow the conection between devices??
The ipad, mac mini and apple tv can access by themselfs the internet wirelessly!,

Start by rebooting everything, including router.  Take all cables out ATV for 30 seconds to.
Just a first look.

    Cannot get AirPlay icon

    I found it by accident too on ipad 3 after a software update, before the update I only had to double click the home button to bring up the control menu.
    In landscape mode, use any finger and starting from the outside margin/border of your ipad, anywhere along its length, just roll your finger in upwards direction to reveal the control menu - the icon for airplay will obviously only show once you have other devices to connect to , ie ATV etc
    Sorry if above seems to be spelt out for a child but some of us, including me who is new to
    Apple products, need instructions to follow easily !

  • Cannot get airplay icon on iPhone 4S, Cannot get airplay icon on iPhone 4S

    I am trying to airplay off of my iPhone 4S. Airplay worked twice about a month ago but now it doesn't work at all and on my iPhone I don't have the icon. I'm connected to the same internet network as the Apple TV and when I let it go idle , the screen suggests that I do airplay and connect to my internet(which I am) and choose "Apple TV"(which is the name of my Apple TV) and no airplay icons show on my iPhone or my iPad or any other apple device in the house.

    Hi, Simoneyponey. 
    I see that you are having issues with AirPlay.  Try closing multitasking by following the steps in the first article below.  I have also included an article that covers AirPlay troubleshooting.

  • Ok so I got my mac mini today and I am trying to set it up but my wireless keyboard does not sync up. I have tried entering the code that the mini displays but still cannot get past the sync keyboard screen. Since I dont have a wired keyboard ...any ideas

    Happy Thanksgiving. Any ideas on how to sync up a brand new man mini with a wireless keyboard. My attempts at following the directions have been frustated so far. Entering the numerical code has not yet led to a successful sync up.

    Alright, very good.

  • HT204291 I can connect to the apple TV but I am not getting display only sound with my IMAC mid 2011 and MAC Air 2012 both with Mountain Lion OS

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion after purchasing Apple TV yesterday from Best Buy.
    I have signed in on the same wi-fi network (comcast 30mbps)
    I was able to see photos from my wifes Iphone but not my IMac or Mac Air
    Both computers connect but I am only getting audio.
    I updated software on Apple TV
    I shut everything down and reset my router. My Mac Air 13" 2012 was able to see the desk top but not anything that I was doing and then it disconnected.
    I also tested the internet speed on the Apple TV but it just told me it was finished. (no results)

    WEP as a security measure is laughable nowadays. Even a kindergarten kid with a netbook can crack the password in a few minutes. Try using WPA2 if available on the device. And the Macs will be quite happy connecting with that protocol.

  • Cannot get progress to show in app store download of Mountain Lion

    Having to re-download Mountain Lion on my mid 2009 MBP from overseas. The ML app shows "downloading" in dock with progress bar under it (and just a hint of blue for hours now), but in the App Store on the Purchases tab it just shows the Mountain Lion app with a gray "Download" button. I want to see the progress of the download since I'm overseas and it could take a couple days. If I click on the "Download" button it goes clear for a minute but goes back to the gray "Download". I've tried closing and re-opening App Store, restarting the computer and I've also tried doing it all in Safe Mode. No difference. I can't be sure something is actually happening without a progress meter. Any ideas out there?

    There may be no apparent "progress bar" in the App Store. It may be a bug associated with this particular download. Unfortunately I am not in a position to determine if this is related to you being overseas or not.
    To determine if it is actually downloading use Launchpad. You should see a fairly obvious new icon with an associated progress bar. Make sure you check every Launchpad page by swiping left / right.
    The downloaded file will also be in your Applications folder. When it finishes, it looks like this (Mavericks icons are shown; Mountain Lion is similar):
    Check your Downloads folder. Before it finishes downloading, it will have a "progress bar" at the bottom. While it is downloading it looks like this:
    If it's paused, click the icon to restart it.
    Once it completes the icon will appear in Applications and Launchpad, it's just easier to find in Launchpad.
    Launchpad equivalents:
    When it's finished it looks like this:
    If it really is not downloading read Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
    Open the Mac App Store.
    From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases to get to your Purchases Page.
    Click the Resume button next to the app name.
    If that doesn't work, "sign out" of the App Store, and sign back in again.
    If that doesn't work, try restarting your Mac.
    If that doesn't work, write back.

  • When I tap safari, I get a completely white page.  Pages take forever to load, even with strong wifi.  Any ideas?

    When I tap safari, I get a completely white page.  Pages take forever to load, even with strong wifi.  Any ideas?

    you may have a strong wifi signal but what kind of speed are you getting,
    are you able to connect to wifi and see if it goes any faster then?
    it might just be that the cellular data connection is slow

  • How can I switch on my Apple TV speakers when it asks "multiple speakers" I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work?

    How can I get my Apple TV airplay to work from my PC.  On the airplay symbol it says Multiple Peakers please choose but I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work from my PC.  Everything is OK when using my Ipod touch.

    Don't use Multiple Speakers option and just choose the AppleTV
    What are you trying to Airplay? If it's iTunes content it's simpler to 'pull' the stream from the Computers icson on AppleTV by selecting the libarry and media.
    If you are attempting to Airplay the desktop you can't.

  • HT201335 I cannot get airplay on either my iPhone 5 or my iPad

    I cannot get airplay on either my iPhone 5 or my iPad. I have changed the language to French and back to English but it hasn't worked. It doesn't work on my partners phone or iPad either. All have updates completed!!
    Can someone suggest something else?

    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.
