Is it possible to use Airplay on AppleTV without a TV?

Hi everyone,
I had an apple airport and was able to play pandora through it just using my iphone 4s and stereo system (an old boombox that takes a regular 3.5 mm plug). I got rid of my Airport and got an AppleTV under the impression I could use the airplay function in the same way I used the Airport. I was wrong. Is there anyway to use the airplay function using the AppleTV without a TV? I have the proper optical cables and converter to adapt it to my boombox, I know this because I can hear apple tv requesting me to use the voice command over my boombox speakers. I currently do not have a TV. I plan on buying one in the next 6 months. Please help.
Thank you

I can confirm that Airplay with Apple TV3 does NOT mute the audio even when the HDMI out isn't connected to a TV.  As I said, however, you need a TV to do the initial setup.  After that, you can disconnect from the TV and connect (or leave connected) the optical out to the receiver.
vazandrew is not completely off base, however.  Some time ago, there was a version of ATV firmware that had a bug which caused that problem.  I think the version was 4.22.  AFAIK, ATV3  firmware is now up to 7.x.
If you still run into a problem, you may need to factory reset your ATV3 (including firmware update), then rerun the initial setup with TV attached.
Good luck.

  • Is it possible to use Blockbuster with AppleTV?

    Is it possible to use Blockbuster with AppleTV.  I bought the AppleTV 06/2012 at an Apple Store...not sure if I have v1 or v2.  Thx

    Not natively. If they have an app and it's enabled for airplay you could use an IOS device to beam content.

  • Is it possible to use airplay for image and sound via bluetooth speaker for sound?

    I want to play my presentations using airplay, and it works perfectly, but i tried to use my bluetooth speakers at the same time and it doesn't seems possible! Each time i choose the bt speaker on system preferences it disconnects the airplay. Any suggestion?

    Hello, you'd need another Router, or at least a different range of IPs on the Router for Wired & Wifi, or at the very least specifically mount Windows® shares by IP.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

  • Using airplay to appletv from a 4th gen ipod touch and macbook air

  • Using the newest AppleTV without owning a computer?

    Hello,
    On the current AppleTV, can you stream the TV shows you own without your using your computer?
    Can you own an AppleTV and access all your purchases if you no longer own any computer?
    Regards

    Music can't be purchases at all???
    It can't be purchased from the TV. If you have another device you can purchase it on, you can stream it to the Apple TV using AirPlay. Alternatively if you subscribe to iTunes match (computer/iTunes required, even though it may not be connected to the Apple TV) you can stream your entire iTunes music library without your computer being connected.
    So if I buy a movie on the new AppleTV, can I not watch it whenever I like?
    You can only buy movies on the Apple TV in the US, if you are in the US, you can redownload your purchases whenever you want.
    The AppleTV only streams now doesn't it?
    Yes
    Is AppleTV not "computer-free" like iPads and iPhones?
    I wouldn't say the iPad/iPhone was entirely computer free just yet, the Apple TV can function without a computer, but like the iPhone/iPad it needs the computer for some things, just more things than the iPad/iPhone does.

  • When using a personal dropbox account, is it possible to use the mapped drive without downloading all my dropbox files to my hard drive as well?

    When using a personal (not business) dropbox account on my mac book pro, is it possible to use the mapped drive only?  Currently I have dropbox mapped to my computer but it is also saving a redundant copy of the data on my hard drive.  My goal is to pull, edit and save files on the mapped drive only without having a redundant back up of all my dropbox files on my computer wasting valuable storage space.   Any advice out there?  Thanks in advance for your help!

    I don't believe that is accurate, but maybe I am missing something (I am not a Windows user).
    Looking at 2 explanation of how to map a Dropbox as a drive…
    http://lkeng.org/wp/?p=147
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d8uvseVr5A
    Both of those are linking to the 'local copy' of Dropbox. It is not a true 'network' drive as far as I can see (it still requires the local copy on the PC).
    Another video suggests using another service to mount the Dropbox, but that is not using Dropbox anymore, it is going through Otixo…
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIpm2qmglU
    Dropbox does not provide easy to use URL's to mount as a network disk so I don't think this is possible on OS X.
    Dropbox's forum has this too…
    https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202133795-How-to-ma p-dropbox-as-a-network-drive-on-Mac?loca…
    You may need to examine the Windows computers carefully - if they have Dropbox installed & running then all the files are stored on the local machine in addition to the 'mapped drive'.
    It looks to me like people are 'redirecting' the local copy to appear like a remote disk just so they can address that path on other machines - each PC is being setup the same. You could create aliases on OS X, but it doesn't help move files off the machine.
    Hopefully someone else will contradict me, but I don't think this is how Dropbox works.

  • Is there possibility to use the front panel without installing Labview?

    Hallo,
    i have two small questions:
    1- Is it possible to use the front panel of a labview software without needing to install Labview itself? i mean something similar to the "power point viewer" which can view the Power Point files without installing the microsoft office.
    2- In an intensity Graph, how can one change the color?
    thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Regarding your questions
    1)You need to have Labview and Application builder installed on your machine. If you have that you can make an stand alone application (EXE) and then you can deploy it on systems that does not have LabView and can view it, However you will not be able to see the block diagram.
    Here is a link that explains how to do so
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361A-01/lvhowto/exe_ex/
    2) You can either do it by using propery node or marker method. The following link explains it

    No. Adobe LiveCycle ES services must be run in one of the supported J2EE Application Servers.

  • Possible to use scanner over network (without sane server)?

    Hi,
    I'm completely new to the subject of printers and scanners.
    My configuration is the following: I got a HP OfficeJet 6500 in the basement, which is connected to a network switch, which my laptop (and a router and several other computers) is connected to.
    Thanks to CUPS, printing is no problem. I got it to work within no more than 10 minutes (YEAH! I bet no Windows user could have done that faster and easier!)
    Now I'm trying to get the scanner function to work.
    My question is this: is it possible to use that scanner in the basement with my laptop and NO ADDITIONAL sane server directly connected to it?
    Do I need a scan server which is DIRECTLY connected to the scanner (e.g. via USB)?
    The only information I found on that topic was how to access a working scan server over the network, but this is NOT what I want to do.
    Thanks for helping me with this.

    Thanks, I didn't think so... but a misinformed sales rep suggested it was.
    If I just want to tie CUCM and Lync together, do I need anything special (UC Integration for Lync?) or is  it possible to do it with just a SIP interface?

  • Why is it not possible to use airplay mirroring on earlier macbook pro models with Mountain Lion?

    I know there are questions alike mine, but if anybody knows some new information on this, please let us know.
    I've been looking forward to this release of the OSX, especially the built in AirPlay mirroring function for the Mac Pro, which I've been missing ever since I bought the Apple TV.
    Now finally when I went to download Mountain Lion, I accidentally search google, and find out that AirPlay mirroring is only supported on early 2011 Mac Pro and later?
    What are the earlier users going to do? I have an early 2009 model of the Mac Pro, and I just wan't to know if I'll be able to utilize the new AirPlay mirroring function or not, which determines whether or not I'm going to upgrade my OSX version
    Hope someone's got news on this one.
    Best regards, Thomas

  • Using Airplay with AppleTV to share my MacBook Pro desktop is very unstable since upgrading to Yosemite, are there any settings I need to reconfigure?

    I used to use desktop sharing from my Macbook Pro (Late 2011, Intel Core i5) to watch videos on my TV. Since upgrading to Yosemite the stream has been unwatchable. Both visual and audio latency problems are very common. As streaming from my iOS devices is fine, I'm pretty sure it's not my WiFi setup. Has anyone had similar problems? Are there any settings I need to change to improve Airplay from Yosemite?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey MasterAir,
    If you are having an issue with AirPlay performance, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
