Cannot play iPhone 4s created videos via Airplay on Apple Tv

I have had this issue ever since upgrading to the 4s. I cannot play the videos created on my 4S on Apple TV via Airplay. The same error occurs whether I try to pull the video from the Apple TV itself, the iPhone 4S, or the iMac. Very frustrating. The phone takes beautiful video but I shouldnt have to move the video to my PC and hook it up to the TV via HDMI to watch it. Thanks for any help.

Hi RTen1,
What do you see when you double tap the home button on the iPhone 4s?
When I double tap to get the Multitasking Bar, then swipe all the way to the left, I do see the volume control and the Airplay icon. Clicking the Airplay icon lets me choose the Apple TV and set Mirroring on. Then when I play my presentation, I see it on the TV.
I don't see it if WiFi is off. Also make sure the Apple TV is on the same network.

I cannot send video (via airplay) to apple tv. sound (audio music) only does works.

I have had my whole system working perfectly before, so this is a puzzle to me, unless it was some update?
When I 'send' audio music only to apple tv from PC it plays perfectly. But when I attempt to send video from itunes on pc, I get error message on apple tv. When I 'send' video OR music from iphone nothing works. When I 'send' video from ipad nothing works (did not test music on ipad) Also, my "remote" software not connecting either anymore to apple tv. From apple tv side, everything works, connected to itunes and my library and everything works fine.
I have a single home (local) network with Apple TV connected via ethernet cable. not sure if RIP was helping or hindering but it is off. My iTunes is on PC (ver 11.02.26). On my Apple TV, airplay is ON. Homesharing is on. all devices on same homesharing. I have done updates on everything, reset everything, rebooted everything, kicked everything, unplugged and plugged everything back together again.
but still no joy...

No, do not have micro usb cable. if it is a big deal, I can get, although have restored back to factory settings which 'appeared' to be successful. Although did not solve issue

HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

IPad says it's sending video via AirPlay, Apple TV won't play it.

When I send video to Apple TV, iPad says the video is playing on AirPlay but the Apple TV refuses to play the video. No audio, no video, nothing. Just a second of the spinning gear like it's trying to play it, then back to whatever it was previously doing. Both devices are at their newest software levels, and resetting the iPad doesn't work.
The only thing that has worked is unplugging the Apple TV, but that only resolves the issue for about a day, and sometimes not at all. HELP?

What kind of content are you trying to play, and from what app?
Is this all music/video/photos or just certain video (which might be incompatible if you've made it yourself)?
Some kind of wireless network issue is most likely, either slow or dropped connections, but if unplugging AppleTV helps it may be worth hooking up to a computer via a microUSB cable and running iTunes to factory restore it.
What kind of network setup do you have?
Can you stream anything via Airplay from iTunes?

Apple TV won't send sound from video (via AirPlay) to Sabrent WiFi Audio Adapter

Hello All.
First, my basic setup is:
Apple TV, connected to projector via HDMI, also connected to 2.4gHz wifi network
Sabrent WiFi audio receiver (model WF-RADU), connected to 2.4gHz wifi network
MacBook Air (2013), connected to 5.0gHz wifi network (specifying the wifi spectrum as having the macbook and Apple TV on same spectrum had previously led to significant lag)
In the Apple TV settings, I've selected the Sabrent device as the AirPlay speaker. This will work for streaming audio if I play music directly from the Apple TV (such as streaming an iTunes album I'd purchased). However, when I connect the MacBook to the Apple TV (via AirPlay), the audio comes out the projector speaker, NOT the Sabrent device. My goal of course is for the video from the Apple TV to be sent to the projector, and the audio to be sent to the Sabrent device (plugged into a standard speaker).
Seriously flummoxed here, as I expected this to work seamlessly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Some videos are not showing in Apple TV playlist after upgrade to 6.0. Can play on Macbook itunes and using airplay to Apple TV. Anybody else have this issue?

Some videos are not showing in my Apple TV playlists after upgrade to 6.0. They were there prior to upgrade and I can play on Macbook itunes and also using using airplay to Apple TV. Anybody else have this issue?

Ok, so I'll try again. Thank you for the idea of looking in Home Videos, which is where all my "lost" videos are listed.
Is there a way to get them to display under their appropriate genre in the Movie section, which is where they all were listed prior to the os6 update? It does me no good to have hundreds of movies categorized in iTunes via a genre only to have them appear in Home Videos on ATV. These are not "home movies." They are legit mp4 movies that worked great under v5.

AppleTV tries to connect to internet radio while playing music from my Ipad via AirPlay

As the title says..
When I play music from my Ipad mini via AirPlay, the sound drops every ten to fifteen seconds.
On the TV-screen it shows the info about the band, song etc, but when it drops I get a box with "internet radio" written inside, before the sound comes back, and everything is normal again. Very annoying to have the sound cutting like that multiple times during a song..
AppleTV (gen 3) is wireless connected to a Airport Extreme, and with HDMI-cable to a surround reciever.
The Ipad and AppleTV have the lates updates (IOS 8.0).
Tries with a 4S with the IOS 7.1.2 version, but it's the same story with that..

Cannot play any of the video in youtube?

i want to play video in youtube but cannot play HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

IPhone and iPad cannot play back some shared videos.

I have a 3rd gen. iPad, an iPhone 4S, and a 17 inch MacBook Pro, all with the latest OS and software. I have library sharing turned on on the MacBook, and an extensive video library of TV shows purchased on iTunes. Some of the episodes, usually from the same season, will not play back on the iPad, and cannot be listed on the iPhone. All of the files are located in sub folders under the same "iTunes Library" folder. They all have the same .m4v file extension. I cannot see a pattern that might help me figure this out, so I am asking for help.

IPhone no longer connects via Airplay to Airport Extreme

Any device that was connected to my wifi was able to play music and video audio straight to my Airport Extreme. And then one day, it stopped. My iTunes on my computer connects to the Airport no problem, it's just the other devices. Yesterday, my friend connected with her iPhone but still not mine. She doesn't update any of her apps, ever. Is my iPhone simply to update to work with an older Express?? it's about four years old. Can someone help?

A simple first step is to reset your iPhone's network settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. It will prompt for your passcode, and ask for confirmation. After that, you will need to connect to your wireless network again. No other settings will be altered.
If you still don't see an AirPlay icon, the gold standard for troubleshooting an Express is a "hard reset" (read below) after which you will need to reconfigure it. If you reset it, you might as well reset your iPhone's network settings again. Other devices may need to re-connect to your wireless network also.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then gently press and hold its tiny reset button. Don't apply any more force than required to feel a tactile click. Keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

Play iPhone thru my PC (via Universal Dock)

- I purchased an Apple universal Dock and connected my iPhone 3G with OS 4.2.1 to my PC. I've seen an occasional "this device is not supported" warning when I placed the iPhone in the dock, but this alert does not always appear.
- I am trying to play songs from my iPhone through my PC. I haven't done this before, but used iTunes on my PC, but wanted to try the phone since the dock comes with a nifty remote.
- The remote works fine, but the music is played through the iPhone speaker. Not the best fidelity.
- Please tell me if there is some way to configure my iPhone or PC so that, when the iPhone is connected to the PC via the universal dock, songs played using iTunes ON THE PHONE are played through my PC.
Thanks.

There is no way, the iPhone does not use disk mode so iTunes on your PC cannot access the library on the phone.

Playing iphone 4 HD video on PS3?

the only way i could play 720p video captured on my iPhone 4 on a big HD screen is via my PS3.
the iPhone 4 saves the video files in .mov format, although this format is not compatible with the PS3, even with the latest 3.40 firmware.
i know i'm gonna have to convert my HD .mov files into a format readable by a PS3, but what type of format and without the loss of quality.
any help on this is mucho appreciated

Can we all agree that the iphon 4 is a piece of ****, and that we should have all bought the EVO. **** apple and **** jobs. Thanks for selling me an outdated piece of **** for around $850 after you tack on mobile me. Apple = ****.

ATV 3 doesn't play non iTunes 1080p video via Airport Router

Please advise what could be the problem. I was using a Zyxel nbg460 router and it was paying nice probably converted from MKV movies in 1080p, loading hem almost instantly and playing without a problem. But when I hooked up Airport Extreme 5-th gen, it stoped playing them. It buffers and buffers and nothing happens. Altough It plays 720p really nice. Help me please, because I bought 2 more Airport Express for extending wifi over my house, but it doesn't work.... Plugged back old router and it is all playing nice. The cause of change is that Zyxel restarts very often by itself...

Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?
I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's iPod. However it will play about 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next song.
If there is anyone out there that can help please do!

HT1551 Can apple please answer the persistent question on why Hulu services, personal video via airplay, Netflix, suddenly stops working, and yet all along it has been working well on Apple TV? This is in contrast to YouTube, which is working without a fl

Hulu, Netflix and my personal videos have been working fairly well on appletv. Suddenly, without warning, they have all failed. My subscription via my apple ID is on automatic renewal, so the issue of non-paid services does not arise. On the other hand, YouTube is working perfectly well on appleTV.
Several solutions offered in the discussion group such as setting the appletv on sleep mode are not technical solutions. Rather, these solutions offered remind me of analogue age, when one had to hit the side of a TV set when reception failed.
In my case, I am using the same HD TV set that has been working all along. A new cable has failed, but if I am told to pay for an advice related to a fault that is not mine, I would rather buy a set box that is void of appletv or apple.
Apple please give a clear, well defined technical solution on the problem with your device, and to be specific on the following error:
"This content requires HDCP for playback"
I know what HDCP is, and one cannot say that this is related to a dynamic code that evolves with time, failing at a time of its convinience.

It is considered rude to double post on a fourm.
