Macbook Air (and Ipad) do not detect Airplay devices

I am literally going crazy already with this issue.
I have  a Macbook Air OSX Version 10.9.2, an iPad 2 and the latest Apple tv. Airplay used to work but a few months ago it just stopped working.
We bought a brand new router, all devices are connected to the same network and for some reason my macbook does not detect an airplay device.
I have searched through every single forum on the web and have tried everything - restarting router, apple tv, computer, iPad. Turning airplay on and off. I am running all devices with the latest updates (including our router).  But there is no fix! Neither my macbook nor my iPad detect the apple tv to airplay.
Please somebody help!

See this page about the reccomended networking settings for AirPlay. It is most likely due to your router.
I hope I helped.

  • Apple AirPort WiFi connects to MacBook Air and iPad but not iPod Touch

    I got my iPod touch 4th Gen in December for xmas and the wifi has worked perfectly fine until about a week ago only on my ipod, it just says 'Unable to Connect' everytime I try and connect but works on my MacBook Air and iPad
    It's a WPA2 Personal security
    I've tried all the suggestions on the Apple Support page, including resetting the network settings

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPhone 5 and iPad v4 not detected in devices over wifi

    A week ago my iPhone and iPad were both linked with my desktop for wifi sync and the Remote app.  A few days ago they both stopped appearing in iTunes unless they are physically connected and my desktop's library no longer appear in the Remote app for either device.  I've tried all of the methods I've been able to find online, but none have worked. 
    I have an iPhone 5, iPad v4, AppleTV v3, and a laptop and desktop (both with Windows 7).  My only issue is connecting the mobile devices via the remote app and wifi sync to my iTunes library on my desktop (which has a wired connection to the router).  My mobile devices can connect to my laptop's library and to my AppleTV.  Likewise, my AppleTV can connect to my desktop's library via Home Sharing. 
    Home Sharing is turned on for both devices and my desktop library.  I also have iTunes set to share my entire library.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled all of the Apple programs on my desktop (and did a full reboot between the uninstall and reinstall).  I've made sure that my firewall is not blocking iTunes (I even went so far as to disable my firewall as a test).  Because my mobile devices can connect to my desktop's library via the remote app while on my home wifi network, so I doubt the issue is my router's settings or signal interference.  I verified that my "services" have "Apple Mobile Devices" and "Bonjour" set to automatically startup.  Wishfully, I even tried installing the new iTunes 11 to see if it would fix the problem...but no dice.
    The only thing I changed on my system during that period was installing the PocketCloud companion application on my desktop.  As that was the only change I made, I thought it might have been the issue.  I uninstalled the PocketCloud desktop companion application, uninstalled all Apple software, rebooted, and reinstalled the apple software, but that also didn't work.  I also was unable to find any complaints that PocketCloud interfered with the iPad/iPhone's wireless connection with iTunes.
    Not only will my iPad and iPhone connect with my laptop's
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    If anyone runs into this problem, I was able to solve it.  The issue had to do with the IGMP Proxy on my Verizon Fios router.  I don't know why my devices could connect to my wireless devices while they couldn't connect to my wired desktop.

  • Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

    I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

  • Wifi dropping constantly on a MacBook Air and iPad 2 and iPad 3.  I am not computer savvy so any solution will have to be in 'normal' language, please.

    I keep looking for the solution to wifi dropping constantly, but just can't understand the answers, let alone follow the instructions.  Can anyone please explain in 'baby' language how to stop wifi constantly dropping on my MacBook Air and iPads 2 and 3.  I have had this problem for about three weeks and prior to that everything was fine.  I am using a D-Link Router on channel 11, with AOL as my provider.  Thank you so much.

    That is correct, so I have just been told!!  Our Router is a D-Link DSL-2640R which we access via typing 192.168.1.1 into our Internet Explorer Browser on a Windows PC computer.  All this has been working for years.  The Summary page for the Router shows Internet, DSL and Wireless are all connected and working fine.  We have changed the channel to 11 which has made things faster and is not in conflict with nearby systems, but wi-fi still drops on the Mac and iPads.  I have only had this problem for a matter of a few weeks.  Before that all worked perfectly fine. 
    By the way thank you very much for trying to help.

  • HT4199 My macbook pro and ipad does not recognize my printer on my wireless network, but my pc does. How can I get my apple products to see it on the network so I can print wirelessly?     My printer is a Brother MFC-J270W

    try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
    One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

  • I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

    I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

    it all depends on what's running in the macbook air that causes it to heat up.
    open activity monitor - change my processes to all processes - and on the %CPU, click it twice and see what running using 10% and above in the %CPU section.
    highlight anything that are using high CPU percentage and hit quit process.  see if that brings the temperature back down to normal.
    screenshot below is my activity monitor - have a look at it - nothing over 10% on the %CPU section.

  • ICal - I want my iMac, MacBook Air, and iPad to all "talk" and share iCal entries.  How can I get this to happen?

    I am hesitant to run the Migration Assistant for this reason.  I just want to enter an appointment on my desktop iMac and for it to show up in iCal on both my MacBook Air and iPad as well.  Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Jo Beth

    Once you configure iCloud preferences on your MBA it should automatically fetch your info from the cloud. Be sure that you set up your iCal account on the MBA.

  • I just got the mid 2011 macbook air and it does not have ilife or iPhoto on it...isnt it supposed to come with it? and if it does then how do i get it on the mac without having to pay for it in the app store?

    I just got a macbook air and i thought that it was supposed to come with ilife already installed? But there is not ilife apps...how do i get  it on the laptop without having to buy them all from the app store if it was supposed to come with it?

    From the iPhoto Licence:
    3. Transfer.
    A. Apple Software obtained from the Mac App Store is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so.
    B. For any preinstalled Apple Software, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software (in its original form as provided by Apple) to another party, provided that: the Apple Software is transferred together with your Apple-branded hardware; (ii) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, printed materials and this License; (iii) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; (iv) you have not associated the Apple Software with your Mac App Store account as set forth in Section 2B; and (v) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License.
    If the previous owner accepted the preinstalled software (iPhoto, etc) to the AppleID, it cannot be passed on to a new owner. Even if the previous owed would use her or his Applied to install it for you, you would never be able to reinstall it or to update it.
    In that case buy your own copies of the software.

  • HT1212 I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."

    I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is asking passcode to be entered - even after following directions for computers not synced... multiple times, but iTunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."  What do I do now?

    DFU Restore
    This will very likley result in loss of data.
    Plug the iPhone into the computer.
    Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
    Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
    Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
    Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
    The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
    If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

  • Is the macbook air and iPad supposed to sync last page read?

    is my macbook air and iPad2 supposed to sync last book page read?

    Do you mean in iBooks?
    If you're signed in to iCloud on both machines, that's what's supposed to happen. However, if the internet connection on the machine you used last was poor, the sync may not have completed
