HT201343 Apple TV mirroring

I have just bought Apple TV and a MacBook Air which I have successfully set up to mirror. I also have a MacBook Pro which I bought late 2011 and has latest Mountain Lion software. Although I can see my iTunes account on my TV from my Pro, it won't mirror. Any ideas?

  • HT201343 Apple Tv mirror + Airport Express audio output = How to?

    I want to mirror my MacBook to the Apple Tv but I want to send the audio to the Airport Express.
    If I ask my Apple Tv to send the output to the Airport, it works just fine.
    If, after that, I use the iPhone to mirror the screen and watch some video on youtube or Twitch, it works fine either.
    But if I use my MacBook Pro to mirror the screen, the audio output is sent to my TV through the HDMI cord.
    Is that any way that I can solve this?
    What I want to do is just mirror my MacBook screen with the audio coming out through the Airport Speaker.
    Thanks for any help, folks!

    Hi wennberginho!
    I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you with this issue. If you have a 1st generation Apple TV, you will want to reference this article:
    Apple TV: Using AirTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3291
    However, if you are using a 2nd or 3rd generation Apple TV, you will want to reference this article:

    Hope this helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • My apple tv mirroring is slow.  So slow it shuts off.  Any thoughts on cause?  I use this device in my office for presentations without a problem.  In my home with a stronger wifi router, I'm having issues.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • No Mirroring in Ipad 2? I have IPAD2 and Apple Tv 4.3. I can airplay videos/music from Ipad2 to my HDTV via ATV, but I cant mirror it. When I select airplay to switch from Ipad2 to Apple TV, Mirroring does not show as an option. What am I missing?

    That feature is not yet available, it is coming with IOS 5

  • Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2

    Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2 and last update achieved

    you have to be sure that you have iOS 4.4 on your Apple TV. Apple pulled 4.4 due to problems and hasen't re-released it yet. the only way now is to hook it up to your computer with a micro USB cable and then in iTunes you should see your Apple TV and do a restore and it will then put 4.4 on the Apple TV but it will wipe out all your settings and you will have to do all that over again but mirroring will then work.

  • HT201343 can you mirror say desktop 2 and still use your mac on desktop 1 with the movie playing on the tv?

    I'm interested in Apple TV for the mirroring feature through AirPlay, but will only purchase if I can still use my mac as normal whilst i'm watching what is being mirrored on the tv. Is this possible in any way? like possibly having the movie playing on desktop 2 and mirroring that and still use the mac with the other desktops to browse the internet etc?

    No, AirParrot isn't a solution for dexta,
    AirParrot gives mirroring function to older computer that are unsupported by the Apple's mirrorring function.  Dexta is looking to extend is display which isn't a feature of AirParrot.
    AppleTV will only gives you direct access to some web content using the builtin features like YouTube, Netflix, etc.  If you are looking for unsupported access to other website without using mirroring, then the AppleTV isn't the best hardware to answer your need.

  • Apple Promotes Mirroring to Apple TV from iPod. Why?

    I've seen plenty of answers to questions about how to mirror iPod content to Apple TV; the answers are it is not possible.  Apparently this is true (I have both devices and cannot mirror my iPod to my Apple TV either).
    Here's the rub:  Apple promotes mirroring of iPod content to Apple TV on their Apple TV page:  http://www.apple.com/appletv/airplay/
    Perhaps some Apple Corporation Guru would like to tell me how else to interpret the content of this linked page?

    I read over that web page you linked us to and I don't see any reference that would lead me to believe that iPods support AirPlay Mirroring to the Apple TV. Here's the fine print of that article.
    1. AirPlay is available on all devices running iOS 4.3 or later. Some features require the latest software. Second-generation Apple TV or later required.
    2.AirPlay Mirroring is available with iPad 2 or later; iPhone 4S; iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer) with Mountain Lion.
    3. Dual screen is available with iPad 2 or later and iPhone 4S.
    After reading that lets break it down. Number 1 is about devices that support AirPlay, it's close but not the same as AirPlay Mirroring. Number 2 outlines what devices support AirPlay Mirroring to the Apple TV and unfortunately the iPod is not on the list. Number 3 doesn't matter to the original post so we'll skip it.
    Sorry friend, I hope that helps solve the riddle.

  • Having multiple user accounts and using apple tv mirroring breaks and also compromises privacy?

    I've got a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac from Feb 2012 and the newest Apple TV 2 that I bough t a few months ago (June 2012 I think). 
    On my iMac I set up a second user account besides my primary account to allow my ladyfriend to use Apple TV mirroring to watch movies from my user account's Public folder.  It worked for a short time and then (now I wonder if this was when 10.8.1 was released) it ceased to work. 
    Here's what happens now:
    1. I log in as the TVwatching account (leaving my primary account logged in)
    2. In the TVwatching account I switch on Apple TV mirroring and the result is (on the mirrored screen, not the iMac) an alternating glitchy green screen with bits of the TVwatching account's desktop and then bits of my primary account's desktop flashing in the background
    3. I turn off mirroring
    4. I log back in as my primary account (leaving TVwatching user logged in) and turn on mirroring and the mirrored display looks just fine
    5. I turn off mirroring
    6. Log back into the TVwatching account (leaving the primary user logged in) and this time, when I turn on mirroring, it's clearly viewing my primary user's account --- HELLO PRIVACY BREACH!!! Also, no green screen and no flip-flop flashing of the two user's desktops.
    When I log out my primary user and just log into TVwatching account it works as expected but I would think I should be able to have multiple user account support since I leave my computer (and my primary account) on all the time.
    One thing I will try is the newly released 10.8.2 update (installing as I write this) and I'll see if I can still reproduce.

    I should add that I did a system restore of the Apple TV this evening too and was still able to reproduce, as well as the firmware update that was available.  As far as I can tell, the Apple TV is up to date on the latest everything.

  • Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
    Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
    and plays properly.
    Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
    Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
    I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
    Thanks again.

  • Apple tv mirroring stops working

    I just installed my new Bell modem SageMCom 2684 and my Apple TV mirroring stopped working properly--it freezes in less than a minute when I mirror a MacBook Pro.  My TV, Apple TV, & Bell modem are relatively close. I disabled  WMM, but no luck. I connected my old router to the modem & connected the Mac & aTV to the same wireless network, but the performace remained bad.  I updated aTV's software, but no luck.  Is this really a a Wi-Fi network problem, or an issue with Apple devices???  Thanks.

  • TS2090 Apple TV mirroring - sound problem. Tried everything. It's ****.

    I'm feeling totally exasperated. I've tried every 'solution' to the inherent Apple TV mirroring sound problem. Why don't Apple just fix it?? All I want to do is be able to view my computer video with sound when i want to. I don't feel that I should have to spend up to and over an hour trying repeated combinations of turning things on and off, entering code into Terminal, etc. EVERY TIME THAT I TRY TO MIRROR THROUGH APPLE TV. It's ridiculous, aside from the cost of buying the unit, I had to upload Mountain Lion despite the fact that my new (Early 2012) imac should have been on spec. That took hours and it still doesn't work. Very dissappointed, Apple have lost my brand loyalty for such an obviously fixable thing. ( I don't think that they read these comments). hope this makes you think twice before buying.  Yours, m

    I found a fix for this problem thanks to a friend of mine who I can only assume did a little research online!!
    The problem I had was having AirParrot once installed, and after the recent 10.9.2 update, the third party app messed up the way Mirroring was working..
    Here is the fix:
    1. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities.
    2. Run these commands respectively:
    sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
    sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
    sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
    sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
    This will uninstall kernel extensions related to AirParrot. Other solutions around the web being posted are missing the extensions within /Library/Extensions.
    3. Enter your administrative password when prompted.
    4. Restart your computer.
    I tried it once again and it worked like a dream!!!
    Here is the article for reference:

    Many Thanks for all who tried to help, and especially Wasim!!

  • Can apple tv mirror dvds from a iMac?

    Can Apple Tv mirror a dvd from a Imac?

    Not rea.
    As far as I can tell the OS prevents mirroring of DVD player output and you get a grey checkerboard pattern.  Same via Airparrot.
    Is this what you see via mirroring?
    I suggested to somone to try playing a DVD via VLC (or other player) and that supposedly worked over mirroring.

  • Apple TV mirror reverts back to iPad

    Apple TV mirror reverts back to iPad every few minutes. Is there a fix?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.
    If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.
