Having lots of freezing using airplay from a vista pc to AppleTV3,

PC and modem/router is upstairs not directly above appletv. any quick fix? would it help if I brought the PC downstairs or is this a router issue?
should I just copy movies from itunes to an iPad and stream from the iPad in the same room?

Try rebooting the device involved, starting with the router. Sometimes that is all that is needed to clear up streaming issues.
If the ATV is not getting sufficient wireless signal from the router, that will also cause streaming issues. Of course, this would not be limited to streaming from iTunes.

HI, I seem to be having issues using AirPlay From multiple iOS devices.
I have the following devices, iphone 6 plus, iPad air (both Gen 1 and 2) an iPad 2 and a MacBook Pro running Yosemit. I also have 2 Apple TVs (both gen 1 and 2).
Recently I have found that I am unable to use AirPlay on any of the iOS devices to either Apple TVs, the MacBook Pro will Airplay mirror ok, I am however able to use iTunes shairing from a Windows 8PC. I have restarted and also reset both Apple TVs and my router, I have also reset the connection settings on all the iOS devices but still can't resolve the issue.
The Apple TVs have Internet connection so I can't see any issues network connections.
ANyone else got got any Ideas?
Thanks

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.

I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared?

I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared. It works perfectly well from my iPhone and iPad and tt did work for a while from the iMac allowing me to select multiple speakers including Apple TV and my two panasonic stereo systems which are airplay compatible, but now only works from iPhone/iPad. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I as having a similar problem with the iOS remote application. I was trying to stream my iMac's media to my Apple TV, but the iMac would not show up as a choice. This was particularly frustrating because I have updated in the last to weeks to 1.) The Yosemite Beta on my iMac, 2.) New sotware on my ATV, and 3.) iOS8 on my phone. It was impossible to ascertain which of those three updates was the culprit. So after much troubleshooting (and much swearing), the following seemed to work:
One-by-one, disengage home sharing on all three devices and then re-engage. Pretty simple. Let us know if it works for you!

Use airplay from my screen to apple TV?

My computer is Macbook pro mid 2010, i can use the airplay only from iTunes, is there any chance i can use airplay from my screen to apple TV by adding parts or driver?
Thanks

I believe you have to have the 2012 model or newer.

Can I use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when connected to an AirPort via LAN cable?

Well as stated above I'm wondering if I can use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when my PC is connected via LAN cable to an AirPort.
I'm asking because usually your PC has to be on the same Wifi as your other Apple device, so AirPlay can function, and id love the ability to Stream via AirPlay but still be connected to the internet via LAN cable.
Thanks in advance for any help!

AirPlay is not restricted to wireless only. It can also work over Ethernet. Basically as long as there is a connection (on the same subnet) between the iTunes host and the AirPlay "speaker" streaming should take place without any issues.
FWIW, My Win8 PC is connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet. In turn my Apple TV is connected to the TC's wireless network. I have no trouble streaming from the PC to the Apple TV in this configuration.

Apple TV loses wireless network connection when using AirPlay from iPad or iPhone 5

Our Apple TV loses connectivity to our wireless network while using Airplay from our iPad or iPhone 5. This started occurring after the latest iOS update. We are able to wirelessly stream movies from iTunes without any problem. This issue occurs only when using AirPlay. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a:
new MBPr 15" late 2013 with dedicated graphics card
new airport extreme base station
3rd generation apple tv
iPhone 5s
200mb download speed (not important, as streaming video on your local network has nothing todo with outside bandwidth)
All equipment is up to date software wise. Airplay mirroring from my laptop to my apple tv is ok. I get frequent lag, pixelation, audio skip (every 10 mins or so).
I'm using the 5ghz specturm to connect to the airport express so shouldn't have any inteference from my neibours (accordiing to iStumbler i'm the only person with a 5ghz setup using channel 30). I've tried connecting apple tv wirelessly and wired. No issues streaming from my iPhone or an iPad!
Surprisingly, using apps such as Beemer or Air Video Server on my MBP work better than native mirroring when it comes to video play back.
Strange when you think how Air Video works:
Video file lives on MBP
iPhone connects to laptop
Video plays on iPhone and is sent to Apple TV via Air Mirroring
Rather than:
Video played on laptop
Video sent to Apple TV
Seems bizzare that my iPhone can handle better streaming than my pro laptop.

When I use airplay from Ipad foxtel appication video doesnt come on tv

when I use airplay from Ipad foxtel appication video doesnt come on tv, audio comes. It works ok with other applications

Some apps/providers disable video over Airplay for commercial reasons - check teh foxtel site to see if video airplay is allowed.
Can you use Airplay mirroring instead of airplay?

How can I use AirPlay from a wireless device while in 'Join a network' mode with an Ethernet client?

I just got the brand new Airport Express (simultaneous dual-band 802.11n) and I'm trying to set it up to join an existing working wireless network that I have in my house, and to drive my home stereo amplifier and have my desktop hooked up via the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express. Here's how I set it up:
-Wireless mode is 'Join a wireless network'
-Wireless Network Name: <my home network>
--Allow Ethernet clients is checked
-Internet is configured via DHCP (it gets a valid DHCP lease and IP address on my subnet)
-AirPlay is enabled
-The audio out from the Airport Express is connected to my amplifier via an optical digital cable.
If I leave it set up just as described above, I can select the Airport device from iTunes on my MacBook Pro and play music directly to the speakers. Perfect.
The problem comes when I go to plug in my desktop to the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express. As soon as I plug in the Ethernet, AirPlay stops working on the laptop. Even if iTunes is in the middle of playing a track, the track will stop when the Ethernet cable is plugged in (with a device on the other end). Doesn't matter which of the two Ethernet ports I use. My desktop is able to use the internet while plugged in to the Airport Express, but iTunes on the laptop is no longer able to connect to the Airport Express to use AirPlay.
I've found that if instead of plugging my desktop into the Airport Express's wired ethernet, I plug in the laptop, then iTunes on the laptop is able to use AirPlay -- but then no other devices on the network are able to use AirPlay.
It appears that as soon as I plug in a wired Ethernet device to the Airport Express it only "listens" to AirPlay connections from devices connected to that wired interface. But this is the opposite of what I want. I want it to listen to AirPlay connections from wireless devices connected to the same network as the Airport Express. Is this possible? Is there some hidden setting I have to enable?
Thanks!

Hi Hreb,
I can find nothing wrong with your configuration, but I was curious if there were something illegal about having an Express "join" a wireless network, and still have AirPlay enabled for wireless clients while simultaneously serving as a bridge to a wired one.
To address that uncertainty I implemented your proposed application with the preceding model AirPort Express, and determined it works as you would expect it to: I connected a wired-only PC to the Express, verified that it can connect to the Internet, and streamed Airtunes from a Mac to speakers connected to the Express. I think this is what you want, and it works with no surprises. I was also able to stream Airtunes from the PC connected to the Express as you did, but as you know only one device can stream to the Express at any one time.
I do not have a new simultaneous dual band Express to test though, so all I can conclude is that there may be a bug with the new one that is preventing you from accomplishing this.
Since it is new, I recommend you call Applecare on Monday and explain what you are trying to do. Explain it works with the older Express and you think this ability should remain unchanged with the new dual band model. It is likely they won't be able to help, and at best will offer to exchange it for another one, but if it is a bug as I suspect any replacement dual-band Express will behave the same way.
The important thing is to inform Apple and obtain a case number so that this problem will eventually get the attention of Engineering who might be able to address this with a future update.
Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

No Video using Airplay from iPad 2 to Apple TV 2 using authorized App.

I have an iPad 2 and Apple TV 2.   I use Slingbox.
Today, I started watching a show using my iPad as a Slingbox Player.   The source TV was in another state.   The video and audio was good, and the network speed using Speakeasy was above 3MBPS download.   I clicked on the Airplay button at the top, and the video and audio started playing on my HD TV in full HD. Audio and Video were correct and great.
Then I tried to change channels and evenutally I disconnected the Slingbox.   I reconnected the Slingbox and after pushing the Airplay button again, I only got audio (with a little musical note symbol on the tv at the lower lest corner).   I then proceeded to reboot the iPad 2 and i reset the Apple TV to factory settings.   No luck. Reconnecting via Airplay to the TV only will stream Audio.   The network speed stayed above 3MBPS.
I also was unable to connect video using my iPhone, but I was able with my MacBook Air.
Note: I AM able to force mirroring by turning Mirroring "on" (double click on button, swipe app bar to the right, hit Airplay button, and turn on Mirroring).   But although the video is fine, I lose HD and the picture qualtiy is degraded.   Not a good solution.
I now KNOW that I can send a Slingbox signal to my HDTV from my iPad as a Slingplayer and using Airplay. It worked! But only for about 20 minutes, and I am not able to get it back.
This is a real poser.   I hope someone knows how to fix this (but judging from the other questions on this question over the years - I doubt it...:-(

I FOUND THE ANSWER TO MY OWN QUESTION: The Slingplayer will tend to default to SQ (Standard Quality) playback.   Under "Quality" on the Slingplayer screen, there are choices of SQ, HD (High Def) and AUTO.   I selected "Auto" and it went to HD quality. Then, when I enabled AirPlay, a full HD picture appeared on my TV WITHOUT having to select "Mirroring".
I get 10 points...

Cannot use Airplay from iPhone 6 / iOS 8.0.2 to AppleTV

I have an ATV3, which I have updated today to the latest OS version. I also have an iPhone 6 on iOS 8.0.2, an iPad 3 on iOS 7.1.2 and an iMac still on Mountain Lion
Today I tried for the first time to use Airplay to connect the iPhone to the ATV, but it just simply won't connect. When I select it in the Airplay menu and then press "Done", after a few seconds pause the list of Airplay devices refreshes, and the connection to the iPhone isn't made. I've tried both with and without Airplay Mirroring from the phone but it makes no difference.
I can stream quite happily from both the iPad and iMac. I've also reset the ATV to factory settings and started again, and it's made no difference. So is this an iOS 8.0.2 bug? Anyone else having issues with Airplay on this OS version?

I am having this problem too on my iPhone 6 and iPad air both on 8.0.2. No app will link with my Airplay devices, but my computer sees them just fine.
I have found a way to enable it though. Reset your ATV or Airport, wait 4-5 minute until it fully loads and pings it's services, then bring up Airport Utility on your iOS device. Once it finds it use the pull-up tray.
Not the most elegant solution, but it worked for me just now. Not sure how long it will last though...

Help please? I would not like the audio to mirror to my TV when using airplay from my MacBook.

I have a small music studio setup. I have an audio interface for the output of my macbook's audio. I like to use airplay with my macbook and apple TV. But when I use air play, my audio stop outputting from my macbooks audio output interface and mirrors through my TV speakers.
I'd like the audio to remain playing from my setup output but the screen I'd like mirrored through my apple TV and moutain lion.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Nicky

There is no "corruption" involved - iTunes typically revises the format of its database with new versions, so these are not backward-compatible with prior releases. iTunes does, however, preserve the library file from the previous release when you upgrade. If you've already uninstalled iTunes 12 and installed an outdated version, you can skip steps 1 and 5 below.
Unistall iTunes 12
Delete or rename the iTunes Library.itl file (by default in C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes)
Locate the date-time stamped copy of the iTunes Library.itl file in the Previous iTunes Library folder (this should be the one created when you updated from 11 to 12)
Copy this file to the location identified in step 2, and rename it iTunes Library.itl
Install iTunes 11
Hold down Shift as you start iTunes, when you get this prompt:
click Choose Library..., navigate to and select the iTunes Library.itl file from step 4, and click OK.
"Opening past libraries" doesn't work if you're simply double-clicking on the old library database files in the Previous iTunes Library folder - this will just launch iTunes and load the current database file.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Problems using airplay from my RMBP getting the music from a network drive.

Hello, I really need some help here. First I'll tell you how everything is set up: At home I have my RMBP, my Apple TV, and a network hard drive connected to a wireless network (provided by an Airport Express). As I have a lot of songs and my RMBP is only 256GB, I keep my iTunes library in the network drive. The Apple TV is connected directly to a Receiver using an optical cable.
the problem: when I play music from the drive and I activate airplay on iTunes, it works fine until it stops streaming to the apple TV. On iTunes everything seems to be okay but it doesn't sound. Although there is no music coming out of any speaker, itunes is playing. I haven't been able to find a solution to this situation because I don't have this problem when I stream music from another library I created in my RMBP's hard drive. this happens even when I'm using the computer, so it does not have to do with the computer not being active...
any ideas?
thanks!
Frank

There could be other reasons but I'd look at your network first. Having content on a network drive will cause more traffic on your network than if itwere on an internal or external drive. This shouldn't normally be a problem but can be on boderline networks.
