IPad 2 Mirroring and Airplay

So, I upgraded to iOS 5.1 on my iPad 2 today. I tried to mirror to my HDTV via my Apple TV. I saw the little icon and selected my TV. I did not see anything but was able to hear something. Now I cannot see the icon any more.
Ideas?
Thanks.

I have the same issue with an updated iPad, iPhone 4S and an updated apple tv. The icon isn't available at all on my devices... Did they move it?

  • How to create adhoc Wifi Hotspot with iPhone to connect Apple TV for Mirroring and Airplay?

    I don't want to use my iPhone to share or tether my iPad or laptop etc. with my cellular data plan.
    What I want is to create a hotspot with my iPhone (or iPad) so that I may connect my Apple TV to the adhoc network so I am able to stream video and music from my iPhone to the Apple TV.
    I do presentations in front of live audiences and want the ability to mirror my iPad or use Airplay to stream video and photos to the Apple TV without connecting to a public WiFi network.
    The apple TV is so small, I just tuck it into my bag with an HDMI cable and I am able to tap into LCD projectors and flat screens and use keynote or video from my iPad so my audiences can see my presentations.
    Seems pretty simple. But I cannot activate a hot spot on my iPhone without signing up for AT&T's service. Fact is, I have no need to tether my iPhone or iPad, I just want to create an adhoc Wifi network solely for the use of my Apple TV.
    I posted this question to the iPhone discussions as well, but thought someone here has wanted to do the same thing.
    Someone suggested just bringing any WiFi router and connecting devices to that. But that's not a solution. It's about mobility and simplicity and not creating a larger footprint.
    Thoughts?

    I am a presenter and I do what you want to do.  I use an apple tv as the presentation device that connects to the projector. The thing that makes it all work together is the Apple Airport Express $99 and looks just like the APple TV but white:  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC414LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg
    Basically you define a wireless network ahead of time (using your iPad or iPhone and the Airport Config App) and let your iDevices connect to it and know the details ahead of time (so they will auto connect later).
    You have a couple of options of connecting the airport express to the apple tv.  I basically stacked them and used an ethernet cable but you can define the wireless connection also.  I then strapped them to the projector (which I travel with) and used an HDMI cable from the apple TV to the projector.
    Sometimes I present from my iPad...sometimes I present from my iPhone.  Sometimes I present from my iPad but use the remote app on the iPhone to see the next screen.  Now with Mountain Lion you could even present with a Macbook Pro (not needed though)
    Wanna hear the coolest thing?  When I want to demo something on the iPad instead of just showing the screen remotely using Airplay I use an App on the iPhone called Air Camera directed down at my iPad screen.  The Air Camera sends the video to the Apple TV using Airplay and people are able to see my taps by seeing my fingers.
    Another cool thing in a classroom setting with other iPads you are able to let people know your Wifi password and then display their iPad screen up on a projector to ask a question about something or demo something.
    So for the extra $99 dolars for the Airport Express and a few minutes setting it up, wammo you have it!
    One last note.  If you actually do have wired internet at the podium you can connect it to the WAN port of the Airport express and all your iDevices would in addition have internet access.  If you need internet access for all the devices and you are presenting in a place without internet then you have to bring a wireless hotspot in place of the airport express.  This works equally well (again just setup the connection from the iDevices to the wireless hotspot ahead of time)
    Have fun and good luck!

  • Airplay mirroring and airplay speakers

    I would like to set up airplay mirroring so that audio gets directed to my airplay speakers and the images to the TV.
    LIke this:
    iPhone-->ATV-->Airplay speakers
    I can airplay audio through the phone directly to the speakers, and I can also select speakers on the ATV and airplay audio from ATV apps directly to those speakers.. I can also airplay audio only from the iPhone through the ATV to the speakers, as long as I'm not mirroring.
    However when I turn on mirroring, the audio always goes right to the TV and not to the speakers. I was told that what I'm trying do cannot be done with Mirroring. Is this right? Has anyone got this setup to work?
    Would be nice if I can stream shows from a browser to the ATV and then audio to the Airplay speakers. So far I have not been able to get that to work.
    Help or advice appreciated, thanks!
    Sam

    For what it's worth, I managed a workaround with VLC and Airfoil to mirror a video to Apple TV and send the audio to AirPlay speakers.   However, there's still the 2 second delay issue for most other sources, like Chrome and games. 
    It seems what's missing is a way on the Apple TV to redirect the audio to an AirPlay source while mirroring (holding down select does nothing in this mode, unlike Netflix or Movies where it brings up a source selection menu).  It would be SO COOL if this was implemented in a future ATV update - for all of us with projectors out there.

  • Mirroring and AirPlay

    Hi members,   Just set up a new apple tv selected home sharing on laptop. Atv3 ipad2 iPod touch4g I can mirror my iPad with no problem selecting it by double tapping home button etc AirPlay is enabled on atv downloaded the remotes on both iOS devicses but can't get the iPod to mirror, I only get the popup iPod or atv and can control the atv but as I said wont display the option to mirror the iPod yet the iPad is ok all on the same network any thoughts.

    It was clearly listed on the tech specs page:
    AirPlay Mirroring
    Requires a second-generation Apple TV or later. Supports the following Mac models:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    you must not have read that though...

  • IPad 1 and Airplay?

    Can my wife use her iPad 1 (original) to watch video's using Airplay through Apple TV?
    I can and do all the time with my iPad 2.
    Just need to know prior to leaving today for vacation.  If not, will load on my iPad.
    Thanks for the quick response, as always.

    I'm 100% positive. Your all set. As long ans they a both connected on the same network Internet or local your good. AirPlay is movies pictures and music. Some games too. They have to be "AirPlay" friendly. Mirroring is mirroring the screen. Emails and other stuff. Her iPad cannot do that. She can just push like videos in ur case to the apple tv just fine. As soon as she backs out of the video on her iPad, it leaves the video on the apple tv. You'll notice also she has all the same setup like what you have to turn on mirroring, but there's no mirroring slider on hers.

  • My iPad mirrors, and then quits.

    My iPad 3rd Gen. mirrors through Apple TV on my flat screen for about 3 songs on Pandora, and then it just stops.  The iPad keeps playing, but stops mirroring.  It was working fine a few days back.  I can't figure out what changed.  Anybody got thoughts?  Thanks.

    There are no iPad viruses or malware, unless you jailbreak your iPad.
    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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • 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.

  • I have an iPad 3 and Apple TV 3rd gen - all software up to date.  I can use airplay but there is no mirroring option available from the iPad 3.  Why?

    I have been able to get Airplay to work with my iPad 3 and 3rd Generation iPad TV, however there is no mirroring option when I hit the airplay icon - hence I can get audio, but no video.
    iPad software:  iOS 5.1.1
    Apple TV software:  5.0.2 (4250)
    Any thoughts as to what's going wrong?

    Are you enabling Airplay mirroring properly?
    Double click the Home button, scroll to the leftmost screen and under Airplay look to turn mirroring On.

  • HT201335 How to do AirPlay mirroring with iPad mini and ATV2?

    My iPad mini and my Apple TV 2 (both up to date) don't want to do AirPlay mirroring. Why? Regular AirPlay works. I can't even see the AirPlay button in the taskbar.

    That document is describing what you say you are already seeing.  It is talking about enabling the air play button in "apps like Videos, Music etc" as you described.  So if you have the AirPlay button showing up in the iOS music and video players is it working as it is supposed to.  So what is it you are not seeing?

  • 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 have an iPad 2 that I want to use with video mirroring to give lectures with. I bought a VGA Adapter for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod as I want to be able to connect with any TV, monitor or projector for lectures, not just an HD device.. After plugging in my iPad to the VGA adapter and then to the video device, it appears that there is no connection with the iPad. Anybody have any thoughts?

  • HT204291 I had airplay with my ipad 2 and the apple tv before for a while. For some reason after a sync, i can no longer find the airplay icon on my ipad. Any idea why?

    I had been using airplay on my ipad2 mirror to my apple tv. Worked fine for a while.
    I sync and backed up my ipad yesterday and i could no longer see the airplay icon.
    Anybody know why and the solution please?

    Is your Apple TV "awake"?  Sometimes the AirPlay icon won't show for me if the Apple TV is sleeping - pressing a key on the Apple remote ususally resolves it.

  • 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!
