HT204291 AirPlay mirroring of my ipad only fills part of my flat screen tv

Hi just trying to get my airplay mirroring to fill my whole flat screen tv....

Welcome to the Apple community.
Airplay mirroring cannot fill your entire screen. The aspect ratio of the iPad is 4:3 whereas the aspect ratio of your TV is 16:9, it just isn't possible for one to fit into the other perfectly.

  • HT204291 AirPlay mirroring with iPad 2

    Since updating my Apple TV software, I can't use airplay mirroring with my iPad 2. I need it for a presentation in a couple of hours. Why doesn't this work anymore?!

    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.

  • Can Airplay mirroring work on TV only while iMac's Monitor is off?

    Hi there
    Can anyone please tell me if airplay mirroring can work on an iMac the same way it works on iPhones? i.e. can it transfer the picture to TV only while iMac's screen goes off, instead of using both displays (iMac's screen and TV)?
    It would be nice if it gives you the option to decide whether you would like to use both TV and iMac Screen -or- use TV only while the iMac display is off.
    Surely someone have tried this by now but I can't find any posts out there mentioning this exact issue yet so...

    I haven't tried this yet with mavericks but I can confirm that you are able to use the ATV as a second screen.  I am able to view a full screen mirror (as an extended desktop) on the ATV fo some streaming content while using the computers main display to work on something else on the computer.  It works well enough to allow someone to use the computer and another person to watch something on the TV at the same time.  So you may be able to watch the ATV mirror while having the main screen go dark (or vice versa I suppose).

  • HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

    Airplay mirroring.
    Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
    Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
    When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi!
    I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
    I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
    So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
    I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

  • No AirPlay mirroring button on iPad 2, iOS 5 - One solution found!

    SOLUTION: REBOOT BOTH YOUR MODEM AND WIRELESS ROUTER
    I spent hours trying to get this feature to work. I had completed the following and still had no airplay button:
    1. Downloaded the latest operating system (10.7.2) for my 27" iMac
    2. Upgraded iTunes to 10.5
    3. Upgraded iPad 2 to iOS 5
    4. Upgraded Apple TV (Black) to the latest software
    The wireless worked with Netflix, but I had no AirPlay button until I decided to reboot the modem and router. I hope that this works for you.
    NOTE:
    1. If by chance you have your computer connected to your router via Ethernet and your iPad connected to your router via Wi-Fi, turn your Wi-Fi off on your computer.
    2. If, after you manage to activate AirPlay AND you lose connection between your iPad and your TV, simply reboot your iPad.

    SOLUTION number 2:
    I have had problems with missing AirPlay icon on both iPad and iPhone. I have had loooong conversations with the People at Apple - Nice people but no solution. If you have upgraded to newest software on iPad, Apple tv and iPhone, and have connected to the same router, and still have problems, the problem is 100 % the router. I have tried with 3 different routers. All working perfectly except AirPlay. It was a Zyxel, d-link and Sagem. The Zyxel router I could'nt get to work. Both d-link and Sagem worked without any problems. Today I use the Sagem. So if your AirPlay icon is instable or do not appear, and all is upgraded to latest level, then try with another router.

  • Have just downloaded and installed IO5.....lost all my apps!! and now the ipad only works with a badly lit screen....anyune else come across this one??

    Have just downloaded IO5......lost all my apps in the process and now only get a very poorly lit screen. Any ideas out there??

    The brightness issue is not something that I've heard of in connection to the update, it may just be a coincidence. Has the brightness level in Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper been turned for some reason ? If not then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear (it won't remove any content that you've got on the iPad, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot). But it could be a hardware issue so you may need to contact Apple.
    In terms of your apps, were they on your computer's iTunes when you did the update ? The iPad backup only contains the content and settings from you apps and not the actual apps, so for the restore to work fully you need your apps on your computer's iTunes. As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free - if you re-download them to your computer you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores then and their content.

  • HT204291 No mirroring button on iPad mini

    I can see the airplay icon but cannot see the mirroring button on my iPad mini retina v8.1.2

    Try scrolling AirPlay bubble up or down.

  • HT204291 AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work after last update

    I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro (running mountain lion), an iPhone 4s, and an Apple TV (3d gen). My iPhone and Apple TV work fine together. I can stream video and music without difficulty. My Macbook can stream audio, but since the last update to 5.1.1 I can't mirror my desktop or run video from my Macbook to the Apple TV. The option is there, but the TV screen only changes colors and garbles some text. It mostly looks like a pink and green abstract painting.
    Short of restoring the Apple TV, is there anything else I can do?

    Thanks Brian. I tried using the ethernet cord and it still only works for one account on my macbook - the account that's not signed into the Apple TV.
    Wifi versus ethernet doesn't explain why it worked well before the update, but not afterward. Or why it works when I turn off photostream.

  • HT204291 Airplay mirroring

    when i try to mirror my ipad 2 on my apple TV, the error message 'HDMI out is not supported on this application' comes up. Does anyone know what I should do to rectify this?

    If this doesn't happen with specific applications, try the following...
    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.

  • HT204291 Airplay mirroring on my iPhone 4s has disappeared since updating to iOS6.1. Has anyone else seen this same problem?

    The mirror option seems to be missing since updating to iOS6.1
    I can still use airplay from applications that allow it, however I can not find the option to mirror my whole iPhone as I could with iOS 6.0.
    Anyone know a workaround?
    EDIT>>> FEATURE IS NOT MISSING
    It took me several restarts of my iphone, but the feature has reappeared.

    I have the same issue. Any other app works with airplay. Music app, videos received in iMessages, YouTube and so on. The videos in the camera roll don't want to airplay. Either I get a black screen or a spinning wheel on TV. Any ideas?

  • HT204291 AirPlay mirroring shows small picture on the TV

    My HD TV shows a picture not much bigger than the one on my iPad.

    Is it on specific content? Have you tried rebooting all devices and making sure they are up to date?

  • When i use pogo, on the risk game for instance, when i click on a game room, a window pops up and immdediately reduces in size, this size only shows part of the battle screen; i have tried resetting the zoom feature, no luck.

    i have seen this before on my home PC (on a lap top now) it is impossible for me to correct so i have to use IE to play pogo (i dont like IE it is slower) i click on a game, i go to a game room, and a window normally pops up showing the tables. normally i click on a seat and it takes me to a new window and the game board. NOW, when this first window pops up, it is aboout 1/4 size of my screen, but immediately reduces in size to about 1/6 of my screen. wnen the game loads, i cannot view the whole screen only part of the screen, as if it is zoomed in. I tried your suggestion and reset the zoom, no help.... i changed the zoom level manally.... no help.
    this also happens in scrabble and most other games. it is related to the java i am sure, but it only happens on firefox. How do i correct this. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled firefox. i have had this happen on the older version of firefox. it happens on multiple computers so it isnt just one computer.
    HELP!!!!!
    please

    I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.
