IPad (3rd Gen) AirPlay Problem

I have an AppleTV and iPad (3rd Gen), but I cannot seem to get the AirPlay to work. They are both on the same network. Should I be looking at anything in particular to match up for them to connect to eachother (like the ip address being next to eachother)? Please help. I had no trouble when I had it at home and when I moved back to school I cannot get them to work together.
Thanks,
Austin

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Synching iPad With iTunes Apparent Problem

Lately every time I use iTunes on my laptop to synch my apps with my iPad iTunes says that there is less apps on my iPad than there really is. Also it shows that my iPad has more space available than it says I have in settings under "usage" on the iPad. If I choose to remove the apps on the iPad through iTunes instead of manually doing so on the iPad iTunes shows less apps on the iPad through the bar that shows the total amount of space on the iPad and space that is used and by what.
I have noticed this going on for months so I am always removing the apps I want to remove from the iPad manually instead of through iTunes. This way I am not losing any apps that I do want on my iPad and my iPad is remaining the way I want it too. Through this method, I am not noticing any changes through iTunes with the bar that depicts the amount of used and unused space on the iPad, even the correct number of apps on the iPad is correct.
(A) Important Information Regarding the iPad, iPod Touch 4th Generation & iTunes:
1. My iPad is an iPad 4th Generation (or iPad with Retina Display)
2. It is running Software Version: iOS 6.1.3
3. I will not update to iOS 7 (iOS 7.0.4) because I totally hate and dislike iOS 7 and everything about it, I prefer iOS 6.1.3 and iOS 6.1.5 that is on my iPod Touch 4th Generation that is also not able to be upgraded to iOS 7 anyways because iOS 7 isn't supported on it so my intentions are to keep my iPod and my iPad running the iOS 6 operating system. (Because of this, it would be wonderful to get rid of the annoying 1 on the "Settings" app icon notifying about the iOS 7 Update that I have already said I don't want.)
4. Regarding updating apps, not wanting iOS 7 and Apple Devices that can't support iOS 7 (such as the iPod Touch 4th Generations) because many of the app updates that were supported on these earlier devices are saying: "Download the last compatible version? The newer version requires iOS 7 or later." This is truly unacceptable behavior for apps because everyone deserves the right to have the current versions of the apps, especially since some of them had to be paid for with valuable hard earned money. Thus all apps should automatically be compatible with all versions of the software the earlier devices are compatible with (meaning that they can't support iOS 7).
I am suggesting this because this could be the possible reason why the apps through iTunes and the iPad are saying there are less than there really is on my iPad.
(B) Regarding iTunes & Synching With The iPad:
1. My iTunes Software Version is the latest, iTunes Version 11.1.3
2. iTunes with the apps I want to remove still on the iPad (6 total to remove) says that I have 94 apps installed with 8.82GB of free space available. The total amount of GB of space used by the installed apps is: 11.03GB.
3. Removing the 6 apps I want to remove on the iPad through iTunes says that I now only have 80 apps on my iPad after removing them through iTunes and now have a total of 16.01GB of free space available. The total amount of GB of space used by the installed apps is: 3.84GB all of a sudden when only 6 apps were removed supposedly.
4. Of course I decided not to allow these changes to take affect on the iPad and intend to remove a total of 6 apps manually, so instead of clicking "Apply" in iTunes I've clicked "Done" and then when asked: "Would you like to apply these changes?" I clicked "Don't Apply" and manually removed the 6 apps after disconnecting the iPad from my laptop.
(C) After Removing The Apps Manually From The iPad & Re-Synching With iTunes:
1. With the 6 apps manually removed, iTunes now says that I have 88 apps installed on my iPad. (94-6=88)
2. The total amount of free space on my iPad according to iTunes is 8.91GB of free space available. This matches what my iPad says under "Usage" in the General Tab under "Settings".
3. The total amount of GB space being used by all the apps now currently on my iPad are: 10.91GB.
Now as I was saying earlier about iTunes and synching apps with my iPad saying I have more space and less apps installed than it really does has officially been proven with the three sections (A-C) of information above. Now I like to know why this is accruing and how can it be corrected so both iTunes and the iPad are showing the correct information when synced?
ALSO NOTE: If anyone tries to tell me or suggest I should install iOS 7, don't bother saying it because I will not upgrade to iOS 7 ever because as I've said I don't like it and in my opinion it looks un-appealing and uninteresting and at the same time I want both my iPod Touch 4th Generation and my iPad 4th Generation (iPad with Retina Display) using the same iOS operating system, as in iOS 6.

HT204291 iPad 3rd Gen & AirPlay to AppleTV

Anybody having trouble with iPad 3rd Gen and AirPlay? I can connect, mirror, and then it freezes. They are on the same wifi network.

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.

Can FaceTime be used with AppleTV AirPlay

Is there a way to send the FaceTime image to my AppleTV so I can use the bigscreen TV instead of the iPad screen?

Yes you can. The other response are absolutely wrong about facetime not being able to mirror to Apple TV. I just tried it and it worked perferctly, both from my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. I was thinking that it wouldn't since video cannot be mirrored to Apple TV, but all my other Apps works great with mirroring, so I was hoping facetime would work as well. I tried it several times and it worked like a charm. I now have three ways to use my large flat screen HDTV to do video chat. One is to use facetime on iPad 2 or iPhone 4S along with Apple TV. Second is to use Skype on iPad 2 or iPhone 4S with Apple TV. And lastly, which has best video but audio is not as good because location of Logitech webcam is so far away. This third way of video calling through a big flat screen tv is to use a Mac mini or any other apple computer that can be connected to your tv along with Logitech HD webcam to make video calls. The first two ways have the best audio for the other party to hear you, since the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S is right in your hands, therefore the mic is only a foot or two away, but video from both devices is not as good as the Logitech C910 HD webcam. As for audio from the person you are chating with, it sounds awesome for all three ways if you have your tv connected to a home theater system. Hope this help answer your question.

IPad with VGA Adapter Problems

Does any one have any clue how to get the ipad to transmit video when hooked up to VGA (via its adapter). Yes all connections were fine, in keynote and presentation in play mode. Help urgently needed! THanks!!

Hi Guys,
I don't know if someone mentioned this before but if you watch the iPad launch video of Steve Jobs' presentation it sure looked like he was mirroring his screen during the presentation.......I think that is why so many of us believed that the iPad WOULD be functioning the same way in are hands.
Sooooo either Steve and crew orchestrated a hoax by simulating a screen mirror functionality (which I do not believe) OR that functionality IS available and will be part of an OS upgrade in the future. I know, I know...if that were true why not just make the mirror capability immediately available? Who knows, but watching Jobs use the iPad on stage made me believe we could do the same.
I tried to use mine today with little luck. I hooked it up to a digital projector. I have successfully used this projector with my MACBook Air in the past. When I plugged in my iPad and turned it on the projector showed NO sign of recognizing my iPad. I opened Keynote to my slide presentation, still NO response. I re-checked the cable, still NO response. I exited Keynote; HOWEVER, I don't believe that I ever tried the full screen presentation mode so it may have worked. I will Try it again.
I then tried to play some movies. I had movies I ripped as well as iTunes downloaded movies. I first tried a movie I ripped.....amazingly the projector recognized something was attached for the first time and started playing the movie! Then I tried The Matrix (downloaded from iTunes). The projector would ONLY show a still from the movie and a message appeared on my iPad screen stating
"This machine is not authorized to play this content"
When I disconnected the cable the movie was able to play on my iPad....reconnect the VGA....the movie froze and the message reappeared.
I also agree that the connector is not that stable. Older iPod cables used to 'lock' in place and needed you to depress two buttons on the cable to remove it. That would be very handy here BUT it would increase the risk of damaging the unit if the cable were kicked.
Thanks
Joe

HT204291 Issue with losing AirPlay Mirroring connectivity

I have a brand new Mac running IOS6 with a 2nd generation Apple TV.
My AirPlay Mirroring connects fine everytime I start it up. The issue is that it drops its connection after 20 minutes every single time.
When I go back to my computer the AirPlay Mirroring Icon is no longer there.
I have to reboot the computer and start again.
Is there some sort of auto timer function that I need to adjust?
Has anyone else had this issue?

"Assistant - for ipad with office edition" problems. Not as advertised.

Bought the above product through the app store.
Looks nothing like the screen shots and does not do what its says (e.g. spreadsheet does not have tabs, tool bar etc) - in fact its a stripped docs to go.
I want my money back.
Anybody how I can do that from apple before I go advertising standards etc in the UK...?
How does this happen, I thought Apple vetted apps...

I doubt the problem is with your DSL service. The Transceiver speed correspond exactly to what the 768/Kbps plan would provide. The transceiver statistics say that your DSL link is running at Kbps on the downlink side, and Kbps on the uplink side. That is the provisioning for the old 768/128 Kbps plan. If you cannot get a Kbps downlink, and/or Kbps uplink it isn't because of the DSL link.
The DSL link runs at the lower of either the provisioned speed, or the highest speed your DSL Modem can negotiate with the Central Office Equipment. You are at the provisioned speed.
So either the problem is further upstream (beyond the DSL connection ), or on your computer, perhaps due to anti-virus, or firewall settings.
You might want to run a network analyzer program such as http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov/ from the Argonne National Laboratory, and take a good look at the details of the test.

HT4437 I was able to bring a Video from Amazon Prime to my iPad, but with Airplay got only the audio through my AppleTv. Any suggestions to get the video also (from iPad to AppleTv)?

Amazon Prime reply app does not allow video airplay - nor do several other content providers.
It must have something to do with digital rights/copyright.

Try restarting your router as a first thing, this sometimes works for me.

As the video is downloaded from iTunes it should be in the right format. It could be a DRM rights issue. Watch this video of how to watch DRM iTunes video on a wi-drive via Safari - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta6cCegKBqQ

Trying to mirror iPad to TV with AppleTV

iPad 2 and iPad Mini, both with iOS 8.1
I have two problems. First, when I try to watch content on my iPad on my TV using AppleTv I am able to swipe up to the Control Panel the click Airplay>AppleTV. But there is no mirroring switch. The instructions say the switch should be just below the AppleTV selection point. I can't really mirror my iPad screen without that switch. For example, if I watch a YouTube video the viewing area on the iPad is blank except for the video controls but I am able to see the video on my TV. Also, I can't mirror web pages or e-mail, etc. the way I think I should be able to. Why can't I get the mirror switch.
Second question, which is similar. Tonight I wanted to use my iPad mini with AppleTV for the same purposes. At first I couldn't get the selection of AppleTV on the mini. After some time I was able to select it but never got anything to display on the TV.
Both iOS devices are connected to the same network as the AppleTV and Home Sharing is turned on.
Any suggestions? Nothing is working the way the instructions say they should.

BTW, I am only trying to use the iPad or Mini one at a time. I've been sure that only one is in AppleTV and the other in iPad mode. So that is not the problem.

I am using an iPad with Apple TV and airplay with a projector in my classroom. The mirroring cuts out and back on several times during use. Any suggestions on what's causing it and how to fix it?

I am using My iPad with Apple TV, Airplay and projector in my classroom. The projector screens blanks out and back on several times during a presentation. It seems like a problem with connection but I'm not sure as it comes back on after a few seconds. Any idea of what is causing this and how it can fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7

How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7?

I've had this problem ever since I was at my friend's house- she has Apple TV- and my iPad connected automatically. So, I have no idea why any of the practical solutions that people think of are not options BUT, in terms of just getting it done, I did figure out a way. The key for me was getting near another Apple TV. I was out of town so I took my iPad to another friend's house who also has TV. Once I was logged onto their wireless network (the same network that their Apple TV is on-- that's how it connected in the first place), then the Airplay icon and options showed up from the bottom-draw menu and I was able to make sure that mirroring was turned off from the Apple TV section and to make sure the selection was on iPad instead. Problem solved. Now whether or not this will stay the same (rather than me having to make sure it stays at this setting everytime I link up to a network that has an Apple TV on it) I don't know. So my advice is find someone with Apple TV and connect to their network with your iPad and then change it.

I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher

I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

Not as such.
Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

Airplay problem with photos

I have the latest software on my iPhone 6 and the latest software on my Apple TV. I can airplay videos from the iPhone, but I can't airplay photos. Using the same equipment AND my wife's iPhone 5S, it does Airplay photos. Is there some setting on my iPhone to enable Airplay from my photos?

Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Thanks. I took a look at the link and it doesn't apply in my case. I clearly see the AirPlay icon and I don't have any performance issues. Yesterday I tried to make an appointment with a local Genius Bar to take care of this problem (unable to AirPlay photos, but strangely can AirPlay videos I shot). Apple has made it MUCH harder to make a Genius appointment via the internet. Perhaps if I just showed up at a store, they would take me at the Genius Bar.
Instead, at least online, I ended up with a "chat" guy and about 1.5 hours, trying to fix the problem. Due to the explanations going back and forth with a keyboard and assuming my "chat" guy was dealing with others at the same time, at least an hour was consumed before really trying to fix the problem. I'm guessing a Genius appointment would have been signed, sealed and done in less than 15 minutes.
So, the chat guy finally said to try a "Reset All Settings" which I did. That froze up my iPhone 6 for well over 15 minutes (no movement on the progress bar period). I then think "brick". I suggest a hard reset (power button + home button). That put the phone in full recovery, but with the same problem (no AirPlay of photos). The chat guy then suggested "erase all content and settings" and then restore with my backup. I haven't done that yet because I dread having to then rearrange all my apps again into folders, etc etc.
The short version here is I'm going to miss the Genius Bar to take care of dinko problems such as this. I assume this new Genius Bar policy has to do with some "bean counters" looking at the increased Apple consumer head count jamming up the Genius Bar.
Progress???
