  • Can I use Airplay from my Mac to AppleTV

    i'm interesting in streaming some TV shows to my apple tv from a browser.  i can do it from my iphone with no probelm, but can't seem to figure out how to do it from my Mac.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT201335 Can i use airplay with the apple tv and airport express without an internet connection? Basically Set it up as a closed network?

    I was told I could set a local network with the airport express, apple Tv, and my iPad to stream videos or pictures to a TV for a presentation.
    No internet connection is available at the location.
    Is that possible? Or do I need to access itunes homeshare with an internet connection to make this work?
    I've set it up at home where I have an internet connection and it works fine but I want to move the setup to my church for a class. The data I'm using is stored on my ipad.
    I know I can do this wired with the HDMI adapter but would like to do it wireless.
    Thanks for any help!

    Ok so we now have a solution to the problem.   A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped.  Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable  (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express.  In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned.  We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name.  We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router.  I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name.  I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
    No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare. 
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't use airplay from iphone/ipad when I update the system

    It has been showed that "an error occurred loading this content, try again later".
    how can i fix that?
    and why apple TV can't output the sound to the AirPort Express on wifi? only airpay？？？？
    so stupid...

    Actually, there is a solution, and it sounds to go against what you want until you realize how well it works.
    Seperate Apple IDs is the solution, but you can granularly sign into different things with different IDs.  Now, I'm in the exact same situation as you and saw the exact same problem.  Here was our solution:
    1) Create new Apple IDs for everyone that didn't already have one.  This meant my wife and daughter needed new IDs.
    2) Go into Settings -> Message and select "Receive At..."
    3) Change the Apple ID in iMessage on a per-device basis to the new ID for who ever owns that device.  For example, the new ID for my wife went on her phone, same with my daughter.
    Apple IDs are free, and you don't have to change the ID on every part of your phone.  For example, we still have the generic family ID on iCloud and the store, but we have our own unique ones signed in on iMessage and Game Center.  From what I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.

  • HT4437 Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Yes, you can use a network storage device for the storage of your content and use it on the Apple TV, but only as part of your iTunes library. So if your question is whether or not you can do this without using your computer or iTunes the answer is no.

  • HT4437 Can I use AirPlay to stream from a 1st generation iPad?

    Can I use AirPlay to stream from a 1st generation iPad?  Thanks

  • Can't use Airplay after 7.0.2 ATV 3 update!!

    I can't use Airplay at all on my upgraded 7.0.2 ATV3. No audio and no video. I can have the picture up and running on the iPad Air 2 or iPhone 6 and try to send it to the ATV 3. I get an "unable to send video" warning on the unit sending the airplay but absolutely nothing on the ATV 3 screen. Then Airplay unchecks the ATV 3 and defaults back to the iPad or iPhone.
    Using the same iPad and iPhone, I just tried to use the other non-updated ATV 3 in my den and there was absolutely no problem. I just tried to send something from my Mac Mini to the updated ATV 3 and it wasn't even showing as an airplay option although it was there Friday night! The non-updated ATV is still shown as an option. I've checked the ATV3 settings and nothing has changed. I've forgotten and renewed the network on the ATV 3 and it's testing fine.
    Anybody have any clues? I've checked everything I know how to check!  The only conclusion I can come to is that the update bricked my Apple TV when it comes to Airplay!.

    After many starts and restarts, I've finally got it working again. Don't know what caused it to start working again.
    Tried to delete/change the original post, but it wouldn't let me edit it!
