GarageBand won't Airplay from Mac to Apple TV (Airplay selected as output device in GB)

Hi there,
I'm trying to Airplay a file from GarageBand (10.0.3) on my MacBook (Yosemite 10.10.2) to my Apple TV (3rd Gen). I do have 'AirPlay' selected as the OUTPUT in my GarageBand preferences, but can't get anything. I am able to AirPlay itunes with no problem. I'm wondering if there is anything I need to select on my Apple TV menu??? Or am I still missing something in GB? I can play the file on my Macbook with no issues. I've seen a few similar questions, but most of them didn't yet have the output properly selected, and apparently that solved their issues... any help would be greatly appreciated. All devices have the most recent software updates. Thanks!

I had this same problem and I think I just found a solution. Turn on your Apple TV. BEFORE turning on the mirroring, change the output audio on your computer to Apple TV in System Preferences. After that, turn on the mirroring and the sound should be coming out of your tv.
Again, if you don't change the output before mirroring it will not work.
Hope this helps.

How to play youtube from MAC to apple tv

How do I play youtube from MAC to apple tv?

In short, you cant. Older macs dont support airplay to apple tv's due to hardware restrictions. To do so you need a mac thats around mid 2011 or newer.
However goolge Airparrot as there is a $10 app that you can purchase that enables compatabilty with older macs. I have never used it, and there are some performance issues on older machines. It will eat your processor performance and some macs may have choppy video results.
As a note the reason only newer macs are airplay compatible is because their GPU's have onboard H.264 encoding capabilties that airplay uses, whereas older macs dont so using airparrot relies on the processor to do the encoding.

I had to change my Apple ID. However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID.

However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID. For instance, I had to change my apple ID from (for instance, "[email protected]") to something else ("[email protected]"). I changed it in settings to the new one, but when I go to update apps, my phone is still connected to "[email protected]"
What should I do?

In the Finder do a Get Info on one of those files & the folder it's in, report what it says for privileges.
Oh, did you maybe change your short username/Home Folder's name?

Migration won't work from mac os x 10.6 to mac os x 10.10

I'm trying to migrate all my information, data etc. from my mac os x 10.6.8 to a mac os x 10.10 and I get a error message on the migration assistant on the mac os x 10.10 saying I need to upgrade the mac os x 10.6.8 to continue the migration. But on apple's support website of migrating from mac os x 10.6.8 and later, it states that migration assistant in mavericks and yosemite can transfer information from other computers that have os x snow leopard 10.6.8 or later installed. It states that I can transfer from a mac os x 10.6.8 but gives me a error message saying I need to upgrade the software on the mac os x 10.6.8 when using migration assistant. So why can't I use migration assistant without updating the 10.6.8 mac?

Streaming video from mac to mac and from mac to Apple tv

I just purchased a iMac i7 with Snow Leaopard. Until now I were able to stream video from my MAC to Apple TV and to my other MAC wirelessly.
From my new iMac I cannot stream. Not to Apple TV (via iTunes) or from MAC to MAC.
A bit annoying when it worked fine before I got new hardware and soft ware.
Network is through a Timecapsule. I can still stream video (720p) from my Powerbook to my Macbook Pro (Leopard).
This be a iTunes 9.1 issue also.
Anyone else had this kind of problems.

Some people forget that AppleTVs do not appear automatically in new iTunes libraries, especially if they originally configured it once a long time ago for another library.

Streaming from Mac to Apple TV outside of iTunes

Has anyone tried to stream DVDs playing on their MAC to Apple TV? Or safari content? or anything else? Is Airplay locked into the iTunes infrastructure, i.e. not in iTunes then not allowed to stream?

I've been having many problems with Home Sharing on my ATV3 for the past few months, ever since the Yosemite Beta up 'til now, but today is the first time I'm having this same issue - where I only get a "Could not connect to [My] Library" message. I've turned Home Sharing off and on several times, reset routers (ATC and AE), restarted iTunes, reset my ATV... pretty much every web remedy out there. It was working decently just yesterday, and now I can't stream anything via Home Sharing. Airplay mirroring works, but I don't want to do that. I shouldn't have to.

ICal won't sync from Mac to iPhone

iCal wont sync from Mac to iPhone

I have the same issue. Recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and now have the problem.

The device is in use by another process - error - cannot select Multi Output Device - Mac OSX 10.8.2

Dear Adobe Users!
Please help!
I'm using Adobe Audition CS5.5 on a Mac - OSX 10.8.2 (latest version of Mountain Lion) and I'm trying to select a Multi-Output device.
This was working FINE last few days - today, I get an error. I've tried to re-install Adobe Audition and that hasn't fixed the problem. When it first started up it said it couldn't find any audio devices at all.
Please can you help? I'm getting a message saying the device is being used by another process - but it's not being used by anything else at all!
Hope you are able to help! I use the multi output device option so I can record what I can hear. I spent two days trying to sort that out after it all-of-a-sudden didn't work last Thursday.
Now just spent last two hours trying to get Adobe to recognise the Multi Output device - it's been working fine last few days!
Many thanks if you're able to help!
- Rory

Durin,
May have sussed it! It seems that Built-in output was the way to have it for Audition CS5.5 to record what I'm hearing! Yes, the multi-device needs to be used - but in another settings.
Here's how I have each section configured and it now works!
First of all, in Audition > Preferences > Audio Hardware:-
Then, on the Mac's OS - System Preferences > Sounds (input settings)
Then Output settings :-
Then Midi Settings found in Finder > Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI set up
All now seems to be working! I'll let you know if anything further happens!
I was certain I had the output device as Multi Device Output on Adobe before, perhaps it should've been set to Built-in Audio all along. Anyway, I re-installed my Mac from Time Machine, logged in as another user and it worked under that profile, then logged back in as me - and am using the settings in the pics above and all seems to be working!
It's been a long week, perhaps I was just going around in circles and didn't actually test these particular settings yesterday in this order after all.
Thanks again for your help! Sorry if I've caused any confusion!

AirPlay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV intermittent sound drop-off

I can't stream iTunes or Spotify to my Apple TV without getting intermittent sound drop-out (say every 30 seconds) when I use AirPlay mirroring through my Mac. This odd thing is streaming through my iPad or IPhone to Apple TV is perfectly fine; so is using my Mac to stream to my Sonos speakers. I can even stream iTunes pefectly fine through only the Apple TV alone - so it's nothing to do with my broadband connection
I have today performed upgrades to the Apple TV and my Airport Express firmware but the problem persists. Anyone else experiencing this or found a solution?

Hi, same here for me. Using AirPlay for streaming music from my Mac Mini (iTunes latest version) to my ATV2 (software latest version) has intermittent drop-outs (about every 10 to 15 sec for 5 to 10 sec). At the same time streaming to my Airport Express station in the kitchen works fine. Using the VOX player streaming from the Mac to the ATV works fine, only that I can only stream to one destination. Tried streaming from iTunes to ATV only, the problem remains. Streaming video - even HD - works fine. Using the ATV to select music from my Mac's iTunes library works fine, too. Still I want to stream from my iTunes on the Mac to several destiations including the ATV. Seems to me to be a problem of iTunes. I think the effect appeared after an update of iTunes or OSX, because it had worked fine before, already.

Airplay from mac to apple TV with DVDplayer

When I am playing a DVD on my Macbook Pro and Mirroring via Airplay to my Apple TV I get a Checkerboard on my mac and TV.
Does anyone else have this?

Probable cause is Digital Rights Management (DRM) restrictions dictated by the DVD publisher or studio.

No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV

Hi Community,
it happens that after disconnecting the aiplay mirroring the next streaming into the apple tv doesn't play the audio. it stays instead in the speakers of the Mac.
i tried to change the output on audio preferences but i can't click on it! the selection just bounce back to internal speakers.
the only way to fix this is to restart.

This works: clicking "Restart". Thx! Please note, Apple bug fixers....
