HT201343 I can't get my airplay to work.

I have a 2012 macbook pro with retina display and an apple tv3. I can get airplay with my iphone and ipad but I don't get the icon to show up on my menubar or in my system preferences
My apple tv is update, they're on the same network. Any help? I'm getting frustrated because this was half of the reason I bought apple tv in the first place.

Wow... Never mind.. I restarted my computer and it magically came up in my menu bar. I'm hoping that's all I needed to do. I hope this helps someone instead of almost driving people crazy like it did to me.

  • How can I get Apple Airplay to work on a Yamaha Reciever from a 2010 21.5 iMac

    I have a brand new Yamaha Reciever.
    Apple airplay is an option with
    this newer stereo reciever.
    From what I know my 2010 iMac
    is outdated for this purpose. I don't
    have the cash for Apple Tv. I'd like
    to be able to stream my iTunes
    into my Reciever without connecting
    my iPhone to the device. One
    of the key selling points was
    Apple airplay. Yet, my computer/
    reciever looks like it's
    unable to detect each other. I could
    use some expert advice at the
    moment?

    Sorry, but the Yamaha Receiver is not conpatible with AirPlay.

  • Don't have router. I use iphone wifi to give wifi to ipad. Can I get printer airplay to work without router?

    Dont have router ( as broadband in area is less than 1 MB) my iphone provides wifi to iPad Air.
    WIll airprint printer work for me

    It will depend on what printer you choose.
    You need an Airprinter that supports ad hock printering.  This means the printer contains a wifi router ( it limited to only printing. )
    List of supported AirPrinters.
        http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    From this list you need to find the ones that support ad hock printer.  I'd look at hp.
    Disclaimer, I have not tried this out.  All is based on what I have read online.
    For example HP D110.
    HP D110 Info Page
    Here is how to set up an ad hoc network form their instruction manual.

    2. In the Network and Sharing Center (under Tasks on the left), select Set up a connection or network.
    3. Choose the connection option Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network, then click Next. Read the description and warnings about ad hoc networks, then click Next>.
    4. Enter details, including Network name (the SSID for your ad hoc connection), Security type, and SecurityPassphrase. If you are going to save this network connection, check Save this network. Make a note of the SSID and the Security key/ Passphrase for future reference. Click Next

    Well, the CS2 was my 1st full program that now my son is using in his new Laptop...
    The CS4 Master Collection is my full program that I bought when I was in College course and now I use for my own works...
    Both came in their own serial numbers and discs ... I install both completely to each computer but at the end on the registration asked for this "Validation code" and the message says that I can't do it on-line nor by mail; so to call to this phone 1-800-833-6687 and in there have the message to come to the "support " Adobe website and do all this going around.
    Now I saw previously that page you send me... I really don't understand it ... I got CS2 installed but I just need the validation code to get rid of that 30 days message...
    Why I have to uninstall it??? Could you explain me please..

  • Can't get my TC to work in Bridge mode...

    I installed Time Capsule TC to my exsisting network, that has a Linksys router.  Can't get my TC to work in Bridge mode.  Suggestions?
    I have the TC directly connected to the router and want to use the TC for wireless Time Machine back ups and to share other hardrives via
    the network.  I also have an old airport express for airplay speakers in one room.  And an airport extreme that I thought I had set up to extend
    the network wirelessly.  I have yet to find a concise and clear list of steps to make this happen. 
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Holly

    The problem is the steps changed with the new airport utility..
    I can tell you the steps on a 5.x utility. If you run Lion then download the real tool.

    Go to manual setup.. internet tab.. connection sharing.. select off, bridge mode.. update the TC..
    Wasn't too hard was it.

    Cannot get my AirPlay to work.

    I have checked my Macbook pro ip 192.168.7.3 address as well as Apple TV ip address 192.168.7.2, using both with same apple Itunes username and password, the icon appears on the top of screen and disaapears. I have gone to icon of computers where on click it says enable sharing, which I have done but in no way it can play on my screen which is connected with apple tv through HDMI. I have checked HDMI as it shows all the information of Apple TV. Some how can not figure out what could be the problem. I am on the same network of my wifi and all the devices are also connected to the same network with ip address as stated above. Can receive internet through same router on TV monitor through Apple TV as well as my computer
    I have reset my apple tv and have configured again and agin with apple id as well as cloud with apple id. If some one could suggest where I am missing, it will be great help

    Hi Sister Kate,
    If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.
