IOS5 Mirroring with IPAD1 and AIRPLAY on APPLETV

How do I make my IPAD1 with IOS5 handle the mirroring function using AIRPLAY and my APPLETV?

The AirPlay Mirroring function requires an iPad 2 or an iPhone 4S.
But some Internet video works with traditional AirPlay on an iPad 1. As a test, try playing a video at the CNN Website at http://www.cnn.com.

Problems with wifi and airplay

I recently purchased an apple tv 3rd generation
I have been having issues like:
1) No video but audio plays and also no audio but video playing, when I use mirroring on my mid 2011 macbook pro running mountain lion
2) I have to restart my router every 15 mins to fix stalling wifi connectivity
3) Even when apple tv is switched off, the problem exists but disappears when I unplug it off the network
Other info:
I have an old router I use. I dont know the hardware configuration (I checked on 192.168.1.1).Again as I said this router works fine with all my other devices such as another pc and my android phone and ipod touch.No problem watsoever.The problems begin as soon as apple tv is on network.
I have tried using a new wifi 802.11g router but the above mentioned issues refuse to go away.Please help .
P.S:Very frustarted with a premium brand like apple not even having a choice of tech support over phone.I have off late drifted more towards non apple products due to it's very stubborn, unflexible ways with respect to service, support and products themselves.

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.

I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPad1 and it wiped out my contacts. How do I restore?

How do I restore my contact list? It was wiped out after upgrading to iOS5.

Were you syncing calendar events over the air with your iCloud account or syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?
If your planner is your life, not a good idea to depend on one device for your calendar events. They should be available on your computer as well along with the data included with your computer's backup.

Appletv remote app and airplay not working with iphone 4S

I have the latest appleTV. I have the remote app loaded onto my ipad3 and iphone 4S. The app is not working with iphone 4S, nor do I get the airplay icon, hence I can't mirrior my phone on appleTV. It used to work. I have deleted and reloaded the app, and still nothing. It worked fined until a month ago or so. I have enabled home sharing.
The app and airlplay are working just fine with the ipad3. I have the ipad and appleTV hooked up to my router using 5Ghz, and the iphone only connects to the 2Ghz network on the same router. I don't think this is the issue, because it worked before.
Also, when I click on the remote app on the iphone, to add an itunes library, a code pops up on the phone, which I enter into itunes on my Win7 PC. Nothing seems happed on the computer when I enter the code. Could this have anything to do with recent appleTV or itunes updates? Any possible solutions?

It seems like I am having the same problem.
I have the latest AppleTV 1080, imac 27", ipad, ipad2, 2 iphone 4, all with the latest iOS. After I have the AppleTV connected, a few problems showed up:
(1) ipad plus iphones cannot airplay photo to AppleTV. After the play button and the grey screen displayed "the playing msg on AppleTV", nothing happened. it is the same for ipad/iphone.
(2) iMac not Airplay to AppleTV
(3) Airplay Mirroring not working
The following are done:
- Home sharing enabled
- To test the devices are connected. I set a passowrd for Airplay and the ipad/iphone both requested for it so they are network and devices are ok

HT4437 The airplay on my i pad works with music and pictures but I cannot get it to work with safari and mirroring. Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Thanks!!

The airplay on my i pad works with music and pictures but I cannot get it to work with safari and mirroring. Can someone help me to get things working? Thanks!

As an IT person, I can put my hands up to the same difficulty. Then on double clicking on Home button, find AirTV symbol amongst Music control
Solved my problem having spent hours looking for a complicated answer. Well done Apple for hiding it so well.

HT4428 My 128 Gb iPad cannot do airplay mirroring with Apple TV 3. It only airplays with screen off (like iPad 1), and it can only do airplay with apps which have the airplay button. No airplay button when sliding the bottom opened apps to the right.

My 128 Gb iPad cannot do airplay mirroring with Apple TV 3. It only airplays with screen off (like iPad 1), and it can only do airplay with apps which have the airplay button. No airplay button when sliding the bottom opened apps to the right! Note : This problem persists after HDMI cable has been changed, and Apple TV was reset. My another iPad 4 64Gb also on the same most updated ISO has no problem.

I restarted the iPad, it is okay now! I think it is because I have been using the smart cover for too long, without shutting down the iPad completely! It just works fine with the airplay signal appearing again after restarting the iPad.

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.

Will an Airplay device need an update to support iOS5 Mirroring ?

We are shopping for a home theater receiver which supports Airplay, and we found out the Pioneer VSX-1021 seems to be a good one.
I know it will work well right now with iPad2 through Airplay, but I like to know after iOS5 is released and "mirroring" is included in AirPlay, will there be any update required on the recevier side ?
As far as I understand, an Airplay device is just a monitor and speaker to an iDevice, if it works now for video / song / pictures, it sould work in the future if the iDevice is allowed to output more contents, or am I wrong in that assumption ?

The iOS 5 mirroring feature essentially 'mirrors' what is on your iPad to your TV screen. If you opened an app on your iPad 2 with Mirroring enabled, it will appear on the TV. To utilize this feature, you must have an Apple TV. An Apple TV is a way to rent movies, view Netflix, browse Youtube, play music and video from your iPad or computer, and other things.
In a way, the Apple TV is the same thing as your Home Theatre system, for 1/5 of the price. However, I recommend waiting until September/Fall when iOS 5 is officially released and is out of beta to buy an Apple TV, due to the possibility of Apple releasing a new model.

AirPlay video with iPad1

Hello,
From what I understand, using AirPlay video with an iPad1 and AppleTV(2), the appmaker has to explicitly support this. But for iPad2, all video is supported automatically through AirPlay mirroring?
If this is correct, is there any way I can investigate wether or not a perticular app is supported for AirPlay video on iPad1 (without actually having an AppleTV)?
/David

I saw a few news items about the global app supporting Airplay from mid-October, so I assume that the domestic app was given functoinality then too, as there was an update around that time.
If it's only the global player, that would expain things, while also being incredibly irritating.

Problem using iPad mirroring with an Apple TV and 4:3 Projector

I'm a teacher and I've been using my iPad 2 in the classroom for about a year and a half. I would use Apple's VGA Adapter to connect to my projector, which worked fine. I just didn't like being tied down, and the dock connector would come loose very easily and lose connection to the projector, which interrupted the flow of the lesson.
So this summer, I got an Apple TV and a projector with an HDMI port so I could start using Airplay Mirroring to get the iPad screen onto the projector. But I'm having trouble with the aspect ratio. Forgive my drawing, but the genius at the Apple store had a hard time understanding my explanation, so I'm hoping this will help show what I mean.
My projector (ViewSonic DLP PJD5133) can be set to either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio (4:3, 800x600 is the native resolution). My projector screen in the front of the classroom is 4:3, so when the projector is set to 4:3, the image fills up the screen (which is what I want - it needs to be as big as possible so the entire class can see it clearly; plus it means all the output pixels are being used). When the projector is set to 16:9, the image is letterboxed (not ideal unless I'm showing a widescreen video or image).
The Apple TV's native aspect ratio is widescreen, and the iPad's native aspect ratio is 4:3, so if you use Airplay mirroring on a widescreen TV, the Apple TV will pillarbox the image (add horizontal black bars on each side), so that the image will not be stretched/distorted. (I know that it will show widescreen videos and a few widescreen-ready apps without the pillarbox, but the apps I use in class - Keynote, Noteshelf, etc. - don't fall in that category). The effect on my projector screen is a tiny 4:3 image taking up half the area it would have taken if I had used the VGA connection.
So in the Apple TV, I went to Settings>Audio & Video>TV resolution, and chose 800x600 60Hz (the max 4:3 resolution for my projector). Since the Apple TV is natively widescreen, it seems to accomplish this change be stretching the image vertically; but it basically works because the Apple TV home screen fills up the projector screen. However, when I turn on Airplay Mirroring on my iPad, the image does not fill up the screen. The Apple TV still puts a pillarbox on the image, so I end up with a distorted, square image of my iPad screen. It's the right height - the max 600 pixels for my projector - but it's not as wide as it should/could be.
Is there a setting that I'm missing? I understand that the Apple TV has to stretch its home screen image to accommodate the 4:3 resolution, but I think it should be smart enough to realize that if it's receiving a 4:3 image from the iPad and sending it out to a 4:3 TV, it doesn't need to pillarbox the image.
Before you answer - this is not a problem with the projector settings, and my Apple TV is not defective. You could simulate what's happening on your Apple TV, even if it's hooked up to a widescreen TV. In the Apple TV settings, change the TV Resolution to 800x600 as mentioned above (or any other of the 4:3 options). Now go to the Apple TV home screen, and note the amount of space the image is taking up on your screen (on a widescreen TV, it will be pillarboxed, and it will look like it's been squished horizontally). Then turn on Airplay mirroring on the iPad, and you'll see that the iPad image does not have the same width as the Apple TV home screen and it looks square/squished.
Also, while my projector does have a zoom function, it will not magnify the small iPad mirror image correctly (if I were to leave the Apple TV and projector on a 16:9 setting). It cuts off the top and sides. But even if it didn't crop the image, it's a digital zoom, so that option still won't fix the fact that I'm not getting a full 800x600 image on the projector. The same problem would apply if I were to move the projector farther away from the screen (so that the widescreen image takes up the full height of the projector screen, while spilling off the sides). I'll still have a lower resolution image, which isn't ideal since I'm often showing text on the screen through Keynote. Also, widescreen videos wouldn't fit on the screen, and I can't move the projector easily because it's fixed to the ceiling.
Sorry for the long explanation. Any ideas? I'd really appreciate some insight.

We have the same problem, and not only with ipads. Macbook Air is doing something similar. it can only use airplay with 1080 and 720 resolution, so the image is squeezed on a 4:3 projector. We use AppleTV 3 and Mountain Lion OS. We use ATVPRO from Kanex.
Apple must get its act together and fix this, they promise gold and green forests, but nothing works.
DO SOMETHING!

Mirroring with AirPlay problem

Hi,
I'm new here becaue I just got the latest AppleTV and I am having trouble setting up Mirroring using AirPlay.
My AppleTV is hardwired with Ethernet and NOT connected to the Wi-Fi. Is this the probable cause?
Simply put, does my AppleTV have to be connected to the WiFi network in order to be visible to my iOS devices.
I plugged in Ethernet assuming it would be the fastest for watching itunes movies etc.and therefore didn't connect via WiFi.
Or can I stay pluggeg into Ethernet for streaming and also connect to WiFi to enable AirPlay mirroring???
Looked in a lot of places but couldn't find a clear explanation of my alternatives.
Thanks

I have the same problem, too.
I have Apple TV 3, and if I use wifi, the Airplay icon show on my iPad 2, but if I use ethernet connection for Apple TV, the Airplay icon not show up on my iPad. There's no problem for visit internet on both wifi and ethernet, Youtube/Movie/ all working.
I am very sure the wifi and ethernet are one same local network, but I have no idea why is not working. Maybe I need a Apple Airport extreme ?

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:
