Disconnect air play?
I've got a macbook pro 2012. Just got a new Sony receiver with air play. My son tried connecting my macbook to air play. He says blue tooth was not showing the receiver. He tried turning the receiver on/off, pairing, but said it didn't seem to work, never entered a code at all, says he just gave up. However, later on my other kid was watching Youtube on tv and my son was going to watch Youtube on the macbook. It automatically connected the mac to the receiver via air play and started playing. Since then, my problem is that air play keeps automatically connecting and at near full volume. Anything with audio on the mac will automatically BLAST through the home stereo if the receiver is on. We have gone into sound settings and checked "Mute" for air play, but somehow, it keeps ending up back at full volume which is really getting annoying. Also, in order to do much of anything lately on the mac, we have to turn the receiver off. If we forget, we get a loud blasting reminder! We haven't been able to watch something on tv and the mac simultaneously. I'd really appreciate any help with how to disconnect air play or how to have it work better! Thanks in advance!
On your iPad if you swipe up from the bottom to reveal the Control Centre there should be an icon here which represents AirPlay, but if you do not have an Airplay device this icon will not be visible.
Regards,
Steve

Air Play in my Apple TV disconnects from iPhone or Mac book after some time of playing. I need to restart the router in order to connect again. Apple tv is connected to wifi succesfully? Any suggestion?
I tried something new yesterday after reading all these messages. My ATV3 was situated on top of my satellite box and I noticed that it was quite warm. The instruction manual suggests that the box not go over a certain temperature, so I moved the box to a location without the heat under it. It now works without any problem at all...at least, so far.

How do I keep my air play from disconnecting when I send a text?
Hey everyone,
I'm just wondering if I can keep using my iphone when i'm streaming from the phone to my Apple Tv 3. Is it possible to send texts and not have Air Play drop out?Yes, it's possible to do anything on the iPhone that doesn't involve audio or video while using AirPlay.

Windows 7 - iTunes 12
iTunes has no issues and plays all content well
I am trying to stream content to an Apple TV (latest generation I think, I just got it from Staples)
I've removed iTunes, including all libraries, registry entries, and all related folders or programs. I've disabled iPV6 on my PC, I've configured the router to work with iPV6, rebooted EVERYTHING, and even hard rest my router. I've created a new user and installed iTunes. Home Sharing is active on EVERY device I have using the EXACT SAME Apple ID. I've even tested iTunes on my network on multiple machines, all to no avail. The TV has the latest software. I've restarted it, I've reset it. I can stream and mirror using Air Play to my HD TV using my iPhone or iPad Air. iTunes Air Play seems to be the one thing I can't do.. I'm at a loss and now I'm ready to throw this thing against the wall.
After I activated my TV I noticed what I now know to be the Air Play icon in iTunes, but I'm a little afraid I may have clicked something which now makes it stay hidden, but after the removal of iTunes and re-installing it, I doubt it. Please tell me what I need to do to make it work.I unplugged the ATV2 and disconnected it from the HDMI. I once again turned the homesharing off and on in my iutnes ( but see no icon on the side bar) Then I reconnected and the menu of ATV it showed my library on the TV screen. I clicked on it. It said is was loading for a while then it said "Could not connect to Sharon's library". My itunes is open and it said make sure you are on the same network. Frustrated and lost. Ideas?

How do I use my iPod Touch 4th Generation with air play with my Apple TV?
Can someone please help me. I need to find out if my iPod Touch 4th Generation can be used for Air Play with my Apple TV. When I go to photos I can use Air Play to display them. But I cannot use airplay for my apps like Facebook, and My games like The Sims. I am using iOS 6.0.1. Is that the issue if so, When you be updating the 4th Gen. Touch to be able to use it with the 6.0.2 version. I beleive Apple can do better with this. I just purchased my Apple TV yesterday, and I don't want to have to take it back already, because it doesn't work with my iPod 4th Gen.
Do the games and apps show the AIrPlay option? No all do.
The second article in my previous reply included:
From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality -

What causes TV screen to freeze but sound continue on TV when using Air Play from I Phone 4?
First try rebooting ATV and router. Beyond that, it's probably something within the network, typically interference.
To get a report of the network go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC). Look for signal strength and noise.
If on wifi try ethernet. -
My Imac should be able to get the recopie video via Air play because it is from Mid 2011.
Nothing work except the audio : Why?No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.
•Drivers and Downloads for Printers, Scanners, & More - HP Support:

A link to Mac OS X Support's List Printer & Scanner software (HP+ Other)
•OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
{According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
•HP Support Forum - Home:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/?lang=en&cc=us
You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

Can I use air play to mirror anything that's on the screen of my iPad
I have the nfl gamerewind app on my iPad. I'd like to use air play to mirror the games from my iPad to my TV screen. Is this possible?
Or, is it possible to mirror the screen of my Windows 7 laptop to my TV using Apple TV?
Thanks for any help, I am very new to this, have never used Apple TV before.There are 2 kinds of Airplay - one which 'mirrors the display' on AppleTV (in iPAd 4:3 aspect ratio). Mirroring is only available on iPhone4S and later and iPad 2 and later and certain newer Macs. Mirroring is processor intensive as it compresses each display frame and sends the video to AppleTV as well as having to do what an app is doing.
The other kind of Airplay available on some older devices essentially sends a pre-rendered compatible file to AppleTV to play rather than a mirror of the screen.
Note - content providers can and do block certain things from working with Airpolay so check if it's a particular app, game or website you want to airplay.
You might want to check out Airparrot which might be able to mirror your Windows laptop to AppleTV. -
How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv
How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv? It does work with some programs like itunes but I can't get it to work with safari.
apple tv does not work in safari. there is no web browsing capabilities on the apple tv..
however what you are probably referring to is mirroring? iPad 2 and iPhone 4s have mirroring capabilities, so what you have on the screen is exactly what would appear in the apple tv..
on ipad for example...ignore the settings page. Instead, go to the iPod controls. Double-press your home button to see the multitasking bar, showing all your recent apps. Swipe your finger from right to left for the mirroring icon; you'll see the AirPlay icon. Tap on that, select your Apple TV and toggle the mirror button to 'on'. -

What is difference between air play and home sharing when wanting to show photos on HD tv through apple tv? Just bought Mac book air and apple tv.
You would have to use home-sharing if streaming from a computer. Computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

I am having trouble staying connected to air play with Apple TV even though my device is still connected to the internet and playing.
Troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.
Power cycling the ATV and router is generally a good place to start. -
