IPhone 4S finicky mirroring to AppleTV

Having issues with mirroring iPhone 4S (iOS5) mirrored to AppleTV2 (4.4). The mirroring feature doesn't seem to work as advertised for me. It stutters a lot or the image freezes and the sound continues to play. So, mirroring becomes pretty much useless and unstable.
I tried mirroring several different games. I thought it might be a bandwidth or signal issue. The wireless signal on the iPhone 4S does seem to fluxuate the local wireless signal, but the ATV stays consistent at 4 out of 5 bars. My iPhone 3GS within the same room even holds a consistent full wireless signal.
Even when I'm streaming content from the internet, my download speed is ~15 mbps.
Otherwise, the normal AirPlay feature of sending HTML5 videos from iPhone to ATV works flawless as long as it's not streaming VUDU content.
On a side note, sometimes AirPlay abruptly drops video streaming over a specific period of time. This seems like a bug. I found shutting of autolock within settings solves the issue. But, then disabling autolock completely defeats the purpose of having an autolock option.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Having similar issues with my iPhone 4S. No problems with airplay and photostream works fine. Air mirroring works to start with but always after about 10minutes it stops working.
Whats confusing me is that when it does it kicks every device on my wireless network off requiring me reset my router then all is well. At the same time it does this the air mirroring option dissapears completely from iphone 4S ( perhaps wifi lost and this is the first sign of it? )
I'm reluctant to start messing with router settings and its not at all in keeping with my experience of Apple over last few years where everything ' just works'.
I've done all the ATV2 updates today x2 and required me to put in all my details again so I think ( but need to check ) that its now on 4.4 or higher. I had hopes this would fix it but seemingly not.
Is it worth ringing Apple helpline for stuff like this? Never have done before.

  • When I'm trying to mirror on AppleTV instead of mirroring my iPod, a random picture from library pops up on the screen. How do you fix this? Has this happened to anyone else?

    When using mirror on AppleTV instead of mirroring my iPod I get a random picture from library. How do you fix this?

    No, that's not mirroring. As I said that's basic airplay. Mirroring is an entirely different function.
    What model iPod do you have? Mirroring requires an iPod Touch 5th Generation.

  • 27 Inch iMac doesn't mirror to AppleTV - but iTunes does using Airplay

    I was having a heck of a time trying to get mirroring to work from my 27 inch iMac OS10.9.x to AppleTV.  iTunes would send video to AppleTV using Airplay but selecting mirroring did not work even though AppleTV was selectable from the iMac display preferences. .
    Solved:
    After spending hours and several days on the phone with Apple Support who were very persistent in getting to the bottom of this,  and having the Apple Engineering staff involved it was determined  that I had some 3rd party drivers installed.  My system setup was done through Migration Assistant to get this new iMac setup using stuff from my old iMac.
    Uninstalling AirParrott didn't help.  It turns out SplashTop desktop drivers were the problem.  I had did an uninstall of SplashTop but that did not delete the drivers, probably because of the Migrated system? Running some tests Apple advisor was able to determine com.splashtop.driver.SRXDisplayCard and com.splashtop.driver.SRXFrameBufferConnector drivers were still loading at startup.  An initial search of the /System/Library/Extensions directory did not show these files because they are named " SRXDisplayCard " and " SRXFrameBufferConnector " .  Moving these files to the Trash Can and Restarting my iMac and voila I now have mirroring to my AppleTV.  Note that there is another place to look for SRFrameBufferConnection.framework which is a file used in my installation of Splash Desktop.  You can find it at and move /System//Library/Frameworks to the trash. 
    So if you had SplashTop (mine was a 2012 version) on your iMac and can't display using mirroring to AppleTV try the above.

    Does the scanner show up in the System Profiler under USB? (If this is a FW/1394 device, this won't apply...)
    If not you could try an alternate port and see if that helps. I have had situations where specific devices could not be on the same USB Bus as another device... moving them between open USB ports helped as the Buses are not obviously defined.

  • IPad like freezing or slow after mirroring with AppleTV

    Hello,
    We have  an issue with iPad mirroring, some time with some iPad’s (ipad3 or ipad4 with ios 7) while mirroringiPad gets dead slow (freezes), mirrored screen shows black, no content on the projector screen. If we turn off mirroring, ipad becomes normal, but for mirroring to work  only option is to reboot (meantime other ipads are OK in mirroring to the same AppleTV).  we use wlan .11n.  Any advice.
    thanks

    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

    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Showing iphone selection on projector through AppleTV

I gave it test run today and could not make it so what I am selecting is shown in the big screen! Please help!!

    This did not solve my problem.
    The iphone 4S worked prrfectly but iPad doesn't. Wi Fi signal level shows 4 bars so id fine.
    Ipad just goes to pause after 5 minutes playing music. When play is pushed music starts but through iPad speaker.
    Turn on airplay again & music goes through ATV & Hi Fi system but stops after 5 minutes??

  • No video mirroring iPad2 - AppleTV

    Help.
    I've checked my Apple TV (Menu > General > Update software) which says 'Your Apple TV is up to date'.
    I've checked in 'About' and it says it's running 4.3 (2257)
    I've checked my iPad 2 which says it is running the latest version of iOS - 5.0
    I double tap the home button on iPad2, scroll to iPod music control, hit the Airplay button which shows:
    - iPad
    - Apple TV
    I do NOT get an option to mirror. It's just those two devices on the list and nothing else. No sliding blue 'Mirror' switch.
    I select AppleTV. Now all apps on the iPad (games etc.) play the audio through the AppleTV but I get no video. It just stays on the AppleTV menu screen.
    What am I missing? Anyone know why I don't get the sliding blue 'Mirror' switch. I want to play Real Racing HD on my massive TV :-(
    Thanks

    You need to upgrade your apple tv software to 4.4. But many people are having trouble doing this at the moment. See the other threads in this forum section.

  • AirParrot 2.0 CRASH on Macbook Pro (late 2008) OS X 10.10.1 NOT MIRRORING on AppleTV 7.0.2

    I’ve purchased last AirParrot 2.0, to mirror my MacBook Pro (late 2008 model) on my AppleTV. I’ve dropped the app in my application folder and run it. Added the license key. I’ve tried to connect my apple tv. The app finds my AppletTV but as soon as the connection between them starts, the app crashes and shuts down.
    I’ve Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite and AppleTV software 7.0.2.
    Currently "Audio Only" mode it's the only way to use the app but Airplay It'a already supported on my Macbook i need AirMirroring.
    On Mac OS Mavericks 10.9 the app working well, almost.
    Do you know what supposedly could be the problem? Where can I find Log File?
    thanks

    Sorry about that! Try the 2.0.2 update we just released this evening . It should get you going.
