Forgot the link that explains!

After updating to iOS 8.1.3 the AirPlay mirroring problem seems to be an result of this. Audio comes out but there's a black screen.

Mirroring my iPhone 6 Plus worked fine before the the iOS 8.1.3 update, but now only audio plays with a black screen, occasionally saying "an error has occurred, please try again later". I have tried many ways to fix this problem, but has been unsuccessful. This happened multiple times in the past too. I'm so mad they never improve and fix this problem. >:( Grrr...

If you are just getting audio then that is not mirroring. Are you going to control centre, tapping airplay and toggling ON mirroring?

Airplay mirroring problems from MacBook Pro only

I have the second newest MacBook Pro (the one that came out before the retina display) and an apple tv (Generation 3) that i just purchased last week. When i go to do airplay mirroring to put youtube or movies on the sound is perfect but the video is only a blurry picture of my screen and it updates the picture about once every minute and gets stuck on another blurred picture. but i also have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 2 and airplay mirroring work just fine on that. Any answers to this would be awesome!!!
P.S. i bought the Apple TV to stream the BCS Bowl from my MacBook to my tv and that day we used it the airplay mirroring worked Flawless, but since that day it has been acting screwy.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring. The ATV3 screen goes black.

When my mid MBP 2011 connects via AirPlay Mirroring. Mountain Lion. The screen goes black. It has worked before. Now it doesn't. I checked firewall, graphics switching and rebooting all devices.
Streaming via iTunes works fine. ATV3 can access my MBP's library.
thanks!

Problem solved... sorta!
It appears that Parallels 7 is not compatible with Airplay Desktop Mirroring in ML
If you remove this file com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist
inside
/Library/LaunchDaemons
then reboot.
ATV3 now works again with Airplay Mirroring.
However, it breaks Parallels. And you simply cannot put the com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist file back inside /Library/Daemons. You need to re-install Parrallels. Could be a permissions thing, but I tried to repaire and follow Parallels instructions on how to start and stop the service.
I Hope this helps save someone some time...

HT201335 Anyone have an iPhone AirPlay mirror problem?

My Apple TV is working with ipad and MacBook but not my iPhone. The Airplay logo is working on it but there is no option for AirPlay mirror so the picture is not transferring to TV. Does anyone else have this problem?

I had the same problem when it turned out AirPlay was turned off from the Apple TV. I was surprised because we had used AirPlay before and no one said they turned it off. Here is what you do:
1. Select the Settings icon from the Apple TV main menu
2. Select the AirPlay section in Settings
3. Turn on AirPlay at the top of the menu
As soon as I turned it on, mirroring with my iPod touch 5th generation was working completely fine! I'm sure it will work with your iPhone.

HT201343 Airplay Mirroring in Mac OS

Hi All,
Am wondering why am not able to do a Airplay using My Macbook Pro 2010. Support team says its a hardware compatibility issue, however am able to use Google Chromecast from chrome browser for mirroring. Whats Apple Is doing ?

for performance issues airplay mirror only works with video cards which support hardware realtime encoding of the display image stream to a H.264 stream
if the video card does not support this feature in realtime the cpu will have to decode it all the time and that take a toll on performance and make it airplay mirror (with possible delay)
the program called airparrot handle it that way and allow you to mirro to the appletv also from older computer even windows computers I think
if you wish to advice apple about such matters you should use the feedback channel

HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring Secondary Display Content

Can airplay mirror the contents of a secondary display on your mac or will it always be the primary display's content?

AirPlay Mirroring only streams your principal display

Thanks

when i use i pad with apple tv for see my photo,youtube and movies all ok.

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Airplay mirroring problem

Guys! Guys!
I'm fen up with it!
Can not take it anymore!
New airmirror future is perfect! The whole idea is correct and great!
BUT there is always big BUT.
I have airport extream, atv 2012, MBA i7 late 2011 with mountain lion 10.8.2.
Atv plugged to airport extream via broadband. Local network runs on 5GHZ. MBA uses 5MHZ network also.
Problem:
7 times of 10 airmirroring can't stream audio to tv.
I turn it on, then my desktop apears on my tv.
But sound still comes from my macbook air tiny speakers!
There is only one way to cure it for one time - reset atv then turn on airplay again. It gets me 2-3 minutes to restart.
I think it's not the way apple desinged it.
Updated it - no result either.
What else can I do?
It's not a big problem but it's start to getting on my nerves.
UPD:
I have manually set ip and dns in my office where I take my mba, can it affect atv in anyway?

4.1? Or 4.4.1? I just restored and got 'updated' to a 4.3 (####) - Basically a later release of 4.3. I am still not seeing 4.4 or 4.4.1.
Any idea how to update short of connecting it physically to my computer?
Please?

HT201343 Airplay mirroring switched off, and still connecting. (OSX MLion, MB-Air 13")

I tested the mirroring, it was very glitchy, but thats not my concern. My problem was switching mirroring OFF, and it reconnecting on its own while roomates watched TV. They watched me write emails, open iTunes, and then sent me images of me writing the email. Funny, but not.

Thank you so much wchp, this is brilliant. I have had this annoying problem for a long time. I eventually rang Mac support, they did not know how to fix the problem as you have suggested so they instigated many hardware replacements which eventually left my iMac severely crippled. They eventually replaced it with the latest model. But I spent two months working with a disabled computer which really interfere with my work.
Your solution appears to have solved my problem, at least so far, but I am hopeful that it is a permanent fix. I hope that your suggestions are taken up by Apple support. This may solve many users problems and avoid Apple making expensive fixes that don't actually work.
I thought that the new iMac would not have the 'Wake up from sleep by painting in the login window' problem but it did, this really annoyed me. Anyway now the problem appears to be solved, it's not I will repost and keep working on it. Thanks again.

HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring Not supported - After downloading OS X Mountain Lion I found out that AirPlay is only Supported for Mid 2011 or newer iMacs - Is there a workaround

I got a new Apple TV for Christmas, I read tha the OS X Mountain Lion supported AirPlay with the Apple TV, so I paid for the OS upgrade. After the upgrade I found out that AirPlay is not supported on iMac's older than mid 2011. This ***** because this was the only reasion I needed the upgrade, It should have been more clearly posted that the features of the new OS were only supported on specific machines!
Short of buying a new iMac is there a way to use Airport Mirroring from my iMac to the TV ?
What other Mountain Lion features don't work on a late 2009 iMac ?

First, if you would have visted http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ you would have seen there is a VERY LARGE and IN BOLD section that covers what functions of 10.8 are limited to what macs. Second "needed the upgrade"... spare me.
To your, "work around" question a lot of people report a third party app named "air parrot" as pretty reliable. You're welcome to try your luck with that.

HT201343 airplay mirror only 1 desktop and work on the other

I want to only mirror one desktop to watch a show and switch back to my other desktop to do work. Is this possible with airplay? If not, is there another option/software that does this (like airparrot or another tool)?
Thanks!
-jp

What program are you using to watch a show? If it's iTunes, can't you use normal AirPlay (not mirroring)?
