HT1551 apple tv airplay disconnects

Apple tv 3g plays video from the itouch to the tv then disconnects after atleast 1 minute. What seems to be the problem. i tried via wireless and wired but same thing happens. it disconnects after 1 minute or atleast 2 minutes.

It looks like network problem.
Can you try to connect Apple TV via cable to the router so only iPad is wireless?
This should improve the streaming quality. Also make sure you have a good WiFi signal which is not interrupted in a busy presentation room.

Apple TV Keeps Disconnecting When I Mirror

My 3rd generation apple TV keeps disconnecting like 2 minutes into a movie I'm mirroring. It's so annoying! I have restarted our wifi and it still is the same. What could be the issue here?

check my questions. I fixed the same problem.

TS5209 Airplay disconnects

Airplay disconnects works sometimes for hours then the next time it won't stay connected for 2 minutes

Apple fixed it! Update your firmwares everyone.
I have three AirPort express units broadcasting the same wireless SSID. I can walk all over my house with AirPlay music streaming and it plays rock solid! (even when you see the iPhone WiFi bars go from low to high as it jumps to the next access point!)

Mac Airplay disconnects when computer falls asleep

Recently (and this is quite a new issue for me, probably after last Apple TV update), AirPlay disconnects right when the Mac goes to sleep. Apple TV stays on, just the AirPlay connection drops. I have to manually connect the computer again (with the AirPlay icon).
It didn't happen with previous versions of Apple TV and I set the sleep time to never.
What could be the issue?

Same here on my iMac 2013 running Mavericks. As soon as display goes asleep, Airplay disconnects. Caffeine does not help.
Unchecking mirroring does not work either, leaving me with a screen resolution that's maybe fit for TV but unsuitable to work with when you want to carry on using your computer while music is playing on the Apple TV.
I start wondering if Apple is actually doing sufficient testing of their software. These are rather basic errors.

How to create a 'parallel' extended display through Apple TV Airplay

Dear all,
I'm a relatively new Mac user and have not been able to find an answer to my question by looking up key words in Google or here, so apologies if this has been answered before.
Basically, I would like to know how I can project a video file or a film/TV series I am watching (for example, a video playing in VLC or a film streaming from my subscription to Amazon Prime Instant Video website, open in a browser) onto my Toshiba TV, via Apple TV airplay - whilst still being able to work on a separate window/desktop on my MacBook Air.
As a PC user slowly converting to Mac, I know how to do this on a PC by using the Windows logo key +P shortcut, choosing 'Extend' instead of 'Duplicate' and then dragging whatever video source I want to watch into the extended desktop screen being projected on my TV. I've tried doing this on the Mac by
using the multiple desktops in Mission Control (with no success, as Airplay obviously just mirrors what I'm doing on my screen onto the TV, i.e. switching from desktop to desktop as I do on the computer), or
by clicking 'Extend Desktop' instead of the automatic 'Mirror Built-in Display' on the Airplay icon on the menu bar and then dragging the browser into the extended display on the TV and hitting the 'Full screen' button of the video itself. However, as soon as I do this and click or type anything on my computer desktop, the video automatically minimizes and all I'm left with on the TV display is the browser with the initial smaller version of the film playing within it. In the 'View' tab, I've tried switching Firefox/Safari to 'Full screen' before making the video 'Full screen' too, but again, as soon as I touch anything back on my Mac desktop it minimizes. I've noticed Chrome has an 'Enter Presentation Mode' option available in the 'View' tab, which leaves the video playing full screen, but with a grey bar at the top (which is visually annoying, but still closer to what I'm looking for). Similarly, if I try to drag a video file playing in VLC, as soon as I hit the full screen button, the desktop I'm using on the Mac goes black even though I can still move the cursor on it.
I'm clearly missing a step somewhere, so any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a prolific multitasker!

Hi _MicMacs_,
It sounds like you've been on the right track in trying to sort out this issue. I'm a bit unclear on what you are describing when you say it works initially, but then immediately reverts when you click back on something in your primary display. You may want to try sizing the window to the display instead of using the full screen option (two opposing diagonal arrows), though this will leave the window border around the screen. For a bit more background on working with multiple displays in Mavericks, you may find the following article helpful:

my apple tv is disconnected from the wifi intermittently, the problem is not the wifi as it only happens to the apple tv. that I can do to fix this problem.-

That doesn't rule out a network issue, as it can impact devices differently. Intermittent issues are most often related to wifi issues. Try connecting via ethernet. Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

Apple TV Airplay is Not Discoverable

My Apple TV Airplay is not discoverable by my iPhone 5 or MacAir 2013. I have a brand new Apple TV and Apple Airport Express (weeks old). All software is up-to-date on all my devices. The Apple TV is ethernet hardwired to the Airport Express. My macair and iphone are connected to the same network wirelessly. I have reset and rebooted the AAE and ATV, and restarted my iPhone and MacAir. The ATV at work works fine on both my iPhone and my MacAir, so it is something with my Apple TV at home.
Thanks for any tips. I am pretty technical and I have tried everything I can think of and tried tips from this forum.

Hi there,
While it sounds like you have already tried a majority of these steps, I would recommend take a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Apple TV Airplay Just Stopped Working

Apple TV Airplay Just Stopped Working. I have a second Apple TV that still works with the same connecting devices and no problems. Running 10.8 on my macbook Retina, iphone 5 is up to date and ipad has latest. One day I went to connect and it wouldn't show on my macbook as an available airplay.
So frustrating, I have reset, re-connected via wifi, turned airplay on and off, checked setting on my machine, made sure I am on the same wifi network... still nothing.

BTW, I should clarify, I am specifically having a problem mirroring. Home sharing is on and all my library is there, just no mirroring.

HT4061 hey Sorry, my i phone with my updates, which I can't update, says my apple id is disconnected. even tho i reset my password, I can not get my apple id to not say its not disconnected, I need help please? messing up all

MY I phone will not work....correctly...I can not update any of my old apps. it says my apple ID is disconnected, I have reset my password but it wont effect the whole phone or fix the problem...please help.

I have something similar going on, but not exact. I basically have a useless phone here because I restored the phone but supposedly when my son's father redid the phone years ago for our son he added the phone to HIS apple id (on find my phoen supposedly) which he no longer has nor uses. I need said apple id and pass to finish restoring the phone. Maybe we should all get together and pile all our bricks in front of apple headquarters so no one can get out of the building and they have to stay there until they fix this. :-P

Apple TV Randomly Disconnects From iTunes While Streaming Videos

Hey All,
Anyone having an issue where your Apple TV randomly disconnects from your iTunes on another computer while streaming videos from it? Randomly, on different shows and movies, I have had it do it quite a few times.
In the beginning, after it would disconnect, within a few seconds, it would reconnect to iTunes and then I would have to navigate back to what I was watching and and resume it. Now, it will disconnect, and then I will have to quit iTunes on my iMac and then start it up again.
I am curious if it is an issue with the wireless adapter on the ATV because when it happens, it looks like it losses complete connection with the iTunes and then reconnects to the net only after. Then I would need to restart iTunes on my iMac to continue watching my show.
This was happening before the recent update and continues after the update as well.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

You're talking about those WIFI bridges they make for xbox 360s that connect the 360 ethernet to a wifi adapter, bridging it?
That is a possible solution, but I will definitely check with Apple first, hoping it will be a no money solution (I am a grad student, every dollar helps).
My apartment is two rooms, my iMac being in another room, so that wouldn't work. The Wifi extender will probably be my only hope if Apple is not cool with the helping a brother out.
