IOS 4.2 and Airplay to Apple TV

Well ..... so far, so good. Downloaded iOS 4.2.1 to both me and my wife's iPhone 4's, my iPad, and also completed the Apple TV update !
The Airplay function seems to be working fine ... wasn't right first time (and as simple as shown in the video), as the devices wouldn't see Apple TV, however after I'd synced everything again, they all now see it, and I'm sitting here playing my iPhone over my speakers.

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.

IOS 8.2 and Airplay doesn't work

iOS 8.1 never had any issues with Airplay. I connect to a Airport Express (2nd Gen-7.6.4) that had the mini jack (2.5mm) that I run to my mixer to play break and intermission music at gigs. Now it doesn't work at all since updating to iOS 8.2 which BTW, was suppose to fix intermittent issues with Airplay which I never had under 8.1. What is going on with Apple QC?

Unfortunately, this didn't do it. There has to be something in the Apple iOS SDK that has been changed. Seems like some 3rd party apps that utilize Airplay work and other that use to work, don't. I use an app called Master Fader which is an app for controlling my Mackie live sound mixer from the other side of the room. I connect to an Apple Airport Express which has the mini jack connecting to a stereo channel on my mixing board. Mackie claims that they don't Airplay features at all in their app, so it shouldn't affect Airplay from other apps (i.e. Apple Music), however it does. Doesn't matter whether it's running in the background or foreground. The Airport Express disappears from the dropdown list and only the iPad appears as an option. I'm convinced that there is something changes in the SDK for iOS8 on the way it calls Airplay. Maybe an older SDK (i.e. 7x) handled Airplay differently and apps that were compiled using an earlier version of the SDK aren't affected. Are there any developers out there that can confirm that. Are there any developers who want to shine some light on this matter?

Mevericks 10.9.4 and airplay icon (apple TV)

Could you please help me?
Many thanks in advance

Can't Airplay to Apple TV 2 after updating to iOS 7.1

I have updated my iPhone 5 and my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1, and AirPlay no longer works to my Apple TV 2. I can't mirror, I can't AirPlay from YouTube, and I can't display photos from my phone or iPad to my Apple TV 2. On both devices, the AirPlay icon shows up, and they both 'see' the Apple TV, but when I click 'Apple TV' under the AirPlay menu, it gets immediately deselected and reverts to the device I'm using. A few things: my router and network are fine; everything worked perfectly before updating (and the iOS 7.1 update is the only change since the problem cropped up); all my network / router settings are exactly as outlined on the Apple help page; I have restarted all the network components and all the devices; and I even tried the 'change language' and 'Turn off home sharing' tricks to no avail. This is driving me nuts! Does anyone have any other ideas? Does anyone else have this problem too? Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?? My wife's going to kill me if I don't fix this soon as everything worked fine before and my kids AirPlay kid videos every day... thanks in advance!

I just tested it from my wife's phone that's still running iOS 6. I can AirPlay videos just fine. This makes me positive it's not the network and that it's an iOS 7.1 issue. We had 3 devices on iOS 6 for over a year, and AirPlay worked. Then I updated my phone to iOS 7 and everything was still fine. Then I updated my phone to iOS 7.1 and I could no longer AirPlay, but the iPad and my wife's phone still worked. I updated the iPad a couple days ago to 7.1 and it stopped working, but my wife's phone still works. It's a perfect correlation between iOS 7.1 and AirPlay breaking on three devices... I'll try ethernet anyway. Thanks!

Why does airplay to apple tv from iphone 6 go dark after playing video?

Both devices have the latest updates. While browsing using Safari on iphone, and airplay to apple tv active, I click on a video. The video plays but when completed the screen goes blank. I tried turning airplay off and on but nothing seems to work. I eventually have to power off/on my iphone.

That would indicate an issue with the local network, not internet. This can impact devices differently and will likely be more obvious on a streaming only device.
If you are on wifi try ethernet
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

HT204291 apple tv update and iPad update to iOS 8.2 broke airplay

First I updated my iPad (2) to iOS 8.2. When I noticed that movies did NOT play from iBooks.
I checked for an Apple TV update. There is one today, so I did that. Now there is NO AIRPLAY option on the iPad!
Am I missing some new setting or did Apple break AirPlay?

between restarting my ipad and restarting my apple tv, it's working again. However, movies in iBooks are still broken!

HT4623 my iPad does not show the Airplay icon. The software is iOS 7.0.4, I have home sharing turned on and have an Apple TV. What should I do?

my iPad does not show the Airplay icon. The software is iOS 7.0.4, I have home sharing turned on and have an Apple TV. What should I do?

If you don't see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center:
1. Turn off router, Apple TV and iPad
2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
3. Turn on Apple TV and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
4. Turn on iPad (wait 30 seconds) and test AirPlay

Airplay on Apple TV not working after upgrading to iOS 8 (3rd Party Apps)

Hi
I hope someone can help me with this issue.
After upgrading the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to iOS 8.1, as well as upgrading the Apple TV to the latest version, I now end up with ** some ** videos as well as photos that can't be played over AirPlay on 3rd Party Apps. (Note: I have no issues with 'mirroring' from the iPad to the AppleTV though.)
1.   It can play .mp4 and .mov files;
2.   It could NOT play .mkv or .avi files - there's audio but NO video
3.   It can play the photos and videos from Apple's own apps (i.e. 'Videos' and 'Photos') however (i.e. with both audio and video)
4.   It could NOT display any photos from 3rd Party Apps
5.   This is happening to more than one 3rd Party Apps (i.e. no display of photos; and no video though there's audio)
Fyi, I've emailed to the respective Developers, but after reading some of the threads in this forum, I suspect that the root cause could be with iOS 8 (as well as the latest software update to AppleTV) as I didn't have this problem at all under iOS 7.
Anybody has any solution?
Thanks in advance.

I have an iPad 2 and the newest apple tv. I do not get the option on my iPad to mirror on AirPlay. I've tried all the suggestions I've seen. Does anyone have a new idea?

I have an iPad 2 and the newest apple tv. I do not get the option to turn mirroring on in the AirPlay function. I have tried the suggestions I've seen on here so far, but nothing has worked. Has anyone come up with a fix to this problem?

Your Apple TV and iOS device (iPad) need to be on the same network subnet. If they are you can verify when playing that the ATV is set as the output device by clicking the icon to the the right of the fast-forwrd button. Or you can double-click the home button and swipe left twice to see this.

Peer to Peer Airplay w Apple TV and iPhone?

I want to do peer to peer screen sharing from my iphone 5 (ios 8.1) to my new Apple TV (model A1469, 7.0.1 (6912) software). We don't have WIFI in the office and that's why I want to do peer to peer. I can't get my phone to find the Apple TV when I click on Airplay. It only shows my phone as a device.
I have rebooted my phone and the Apple TV. Airplay is ON. Security option is "password". I installed the new OS on my phone and also did the updates for the Apple TV. I've read all the instructions on apple.com for doing this, which is really just a couple of sentences (Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch). Still no luck. I'd love some help! thanks.

HI man,
same problem here, latest iOS, latest ATV update, not a single device works over peer to peer...
I have two ATV's, macbook air, iPad mini, iPad Air, iPhone 5s, not a single device after this update can get AirPlay... so disappointed with Apple...

Can I find a free movie site in Safari and airplay it to Apple TV?.

I am thinking of buying a Apple TV, but wwas wondering if it is possible to use a free movie site from Safari and airplay or mirror it to Apple TV?. I have a original ipad and a iPad mini. I am also buying a iPhone 5s.

The original iPad does not have mirroring capability, the mini and 5S would.
Keep in mind that the iPad mini won't fill the screen when mirrored as it's display is 4:3, whereas the iPhone 5S has the same aspect ratio as your HDTV (16:9)
If using basic airplay on any of the IOS devices, the website would need to be enabled.

HT5517 I have macbook air and airplay icon is sometimes displayed and sometimes its gone and i am not able to connect to the apple tv. why

I have apple TV. When I on the bluetooth I am not able to pair my macbook air with my apple tv

Updated iPad 2 to iOS 7 lost Airplay to Apple TV

I updated my iPod 2 to iOS7 but now can not get connection through Airplay to Apple TV (2).
It worked fine on iOS 6.x, I have restored the Apple TV (2) ensuring latest version, all sharing and ID's the same, have made sure that Airport is on, checked wi-fi network groups the same, rebooted both Apple TV (2) and iPad and the router. Still no sign of Airplay in the Control Centre. Am I being really stupid here ? but can see no where to even try and make a connection. Interestingly can't see Apple TV from iTunes on PC either, turned off all firewalls as well just in case, still no luck.
Any one got any thoughts ?

Having same problem. Apple TV 2 on same network as my iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
the phone running ios6 sees the Apple TV and successfully mirrors to it.
the ipad2 running ios7 does not see the Apple TV, and therefore no mirroring.
Pretty frustrating... and hate that there's no turning back to ios6.
Incidentally... I see the airplay box in the bottom of the control bar, but only Airport Expresses around the house show up, not the Apple TV.
Would LOVE to know a fix for this.

I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate. iPad 2, iOS 8.3

This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum.
Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled? It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.
