HT204291 airplay problems

i got a code on my computer saying that i can not connect to airplay code =
An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (-15000).

I think everyone is having these problems.
I get about 30mins out mine before the icon vanishes and I need to settings-general-restart on my ATV.
I've tried everything from opening ports to changing the uPnP timeouts on my router. Nothing works.
It's something apple need to fix I'm afraid

HT204291 Airplay problem

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not really sure what you are asking. AirPlay doesn't work between two phones.

Airplay problems, found something

Hi all,
I don't know if this was already mentioned, due to to large amounts of threads on the airplay problem.
This is what i experienced today.
Whilst sitting on the couch I tried airplay from iPad to atv2, and guess what. I worked! Tried everything, even used the iphone but airplay just kept on working.
The only thing different from yesterday when it didn't work was that the iMac wasn's switched on. And guess what, after switching on the mac, airplay stopped working on atv. Switching off the mac and waiting for a few minutes gave back airplay......
So the mac slash itunes is messing up airplay.
Cheers
Emiel

I'm having a similar problem. WatchESPN app no longer airplays. I wish they would tell you what their update will disable so that we can decide whether or not to update to the new version. This is definitely the last time i update any software without looking at the list of possible problems that we will get. There is no point to me having done this since that is the only thing i used my apple tv for in the first place.

Trying to view streamed content from the ipad to the Apple TV? Nah forget about it. Sooo dissapointing.

Restart your wifi router

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
AirPlay Mirroring is only available in OS X Mountain Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404. First, open  > About this Mac and check Version.
If it's 10.7, you have two possibilities:
1. Open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. After upgrading, you will be able to use AirPlay Mirroring on System Preferences > Displays, or on the menu bar. Note that, if you bought your Mac after July 26th, 2012, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion for free > http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/
2. Use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
If it's 10.8, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV in "AirPlay Mirroring"

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. 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.

HT204291 Airplay icon does not show up in itunes after upgrade to 11.1.3.8

I upgraded my itunes to 11.1.3.8 and my airplay icon no longer shows up in itunes on my windows PC. it works from all of my other airplay devices ipad, iphone, and ipod. I can't output to my apple tv from my PC. I have restarted my apple TV, my PC and itunes several times.

I'd try updating to version 11.1.5.5:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you're already at version 11.1.5.5 (or the update didn't help with the recognition trouble), try the procedure in Cerbu's post:
Re: sync problem
... or try section 5 from the following document:
TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.

ITunes 11.1 Airplay Problem: Icon goes orange

I'm using iTunes 11.1 with three Airport Express base stations for Airplay. Every hour or so the blue airplay icon in iTunes goes orange and the music stops streaming to the Airport Express. Reselecting it doesn't work, but if I power down the Express and then power it up again everything seems to work ok. An hour or so later the problem will reoccur.
This is very irritating. Any ideas?

I have this problem too, did you manage to sort it out?

A Suggestion for the solution of AirPlay problem in old Mac's

Hi,
Today I bought an Apple TV 3 from Geneva Apple Store. Eventhough I told the responsible sellsman that I have a late 2010 iMac 27' with i7 Quad Core, he told me that I can use AirPlay. After coming home I realized that wasn't the reality. Fine, I am not going to complain... After some hours of search in google, finding out the reason of the problem and reading the reviews of AirParrot (which is bad for high quality video streaming), I didn't find any discussion about my idea:
Why isn't Apple or any third party developer coming up with a software solution to connect an iOS device containing H.264 chipset to the Mac with the USB cable and use the connected devices chipset to encode the video/audio and steam it wirelessly. Is there a thecnical barrier for this?
Well there may be a delay in the stream (because the processing chip will be not on the main board of the computer but on a USB connected device), but who cares if the movie is coming to the TV screen a few seconds later than the computer screen?
Could somebody please reply to this? I want to know why even it is impossible.
PS: Sorry for my english. I am not a native speaker.
Best,
Olgun Elicin

it's possible to make itunes enhancement requests directly to the Apple folks nowadays. here's a link through to the relevant itunes feedback form:

Airplay problem with 2012 MacbookPro w/ Mountain Lion

I have a 2012 MacbookPro that I recently purchased. I also just bought the AppleTV 3. I upgraded to the Mountain Lion last week and initially the airplay icon showed up in the menu bar, as well as the display in system preferences and I was able to mirror my MacbookPro perfectly. Now, my MacbookPro is not recognizing the AppleTV. The Airplay option in the menu bar and the display is gone. My MacbookPro and AppleTV are connected to the same Wifi and they have both been restarted and updated to the newest software! Why is my MacbookPro not giving me the Airplay option?! Please help!

Same problem when reseted the PRAM.
I read some Chinese Web , Many people got the same problem after upgrade to mountain lion
