Mavericks has broken Airplay from iOS 7 iMac

When I had iOS 6/7 on my iPad and iPhone, I could use Airplay from my iPad or iPhone to my iMac, no problem.
Since updating to OS X Mavericks, I can Airplay from all of these devices to Apple TV, but not from either iOS device to my iMac (which is late 2011, so this should be possible). It worked that way prior to upgrading.
Anyone having the same problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

What exactly happens when you try to update it? If you're getting an error message, you have to tell us what it is. We are not psychic.

any help ?

You most likely ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Airplay from iOS vs direct Apple TV streaming

Does anyone know if using AirPlay from iOS provides a lower quality than simply streaming directly from the Apple TV? For example, if I stream a movie from my Home Sharing library it will load faster than using the Apple TV to bring it down from the cloud. But, will it look the same? Or, if I rent a movie from the Apple TV will it be better quality than renting from Amazon Prime app and using AirPlay to view it?
It seems like using AirPlay might require twice the bandwidth and result in lower quality.
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the detailed reply.
So the only thing I lose by using AirPlay from an iOS device, vs streaming from the Apple TV directly, is some LAN traffic? The quality should remain the same because of buffering, but it takes extra LAN bandwidth to go from the iOS device to the Apple TV?
For Airplay yes, the quality should be the same, but for Airplay Mirroring it is different as the screen display frames are compressed on the fly and transmitted.
I am not 100% sure that some apps don't generate a stream as they run to send via standard Airplay which would alter quaity but no way of knowing for sure unless it was a game where the 'action' was live.
Standard Airplay just takes a pre-rendered video stream (which may be streaming on a website viewed in a browser on iPad), and provided it is AppleTv compatible can just be forwarded to the AppleTV as is. The clearest examples are where you sync a purchase from itunes store to iPad or rent/but on it - the downloaded file is just relayed to AppleTV to play, the same as it would be from iTunes on a PC/Mac using Home Sharing or playing an iTunes Store purchase from the cloud or renting there - the files are the same so if a purchase in itunes is 6GB, the rental or stream to play from the cloud will be the same.
Netflix and other services are rate adaptive on AppleTV so degrade stream quality on slower connections on the fly. Pros are near instant startup, cons potentially worse video pq.

Please! Airplay from iOS to multiple Airplay speakers

I'm moving into a new house and would love to skip Sonos or any other expensive multi-room stereo solutions. Airplay with iOS 7 and the latest Airport Express devices is really reliable and easy.
Big limitation is not being able to stream to multple airplay endpoints simultaneously from my iPhone and iPad. It works fine from my laptop, but I don't want to limit playback to just real computers when we want to listen to the same music inside and outside (on separate systems).
Please vote this up for iOS 8!
Respectfully,
Joe

Apple TV update 7.03 brakes Airplay from IOS 8 device

Our Apple TV worked fine prior the latest update.
- after 7.03 it works fine from MacBook 10.10.2
- IOS device: you can see and select, but Airplay does not happen.
Suggestions?
Tried iPhone and iPad.

I'm having an issue with my AppleTV's not even showing up on any iOS device's AirPlay menu. The iOS device and the AppleTV/s are on the same network, the network is functioning and I can see that the AppleTV's are present on the network. But no matter what I do, I can't get the AppleTV to show up as being selectable for AirPlay. This problem has only started after I upgraded to 7.0.2. I was hoping 7.0.3 did something to resolve this but the issue remains the same. This has made all of my AppleTV's running 7.0.2 and above un-usable.
Meanwhile, my older 2nd gen AppleTV's running 6.1.2 are still working perfectly. What can I do about this? I've factory restored the device/s many times to no avail. I have (of course) restarted the AppleTV's and have also tried using ethernet but that doesn't work either. Unfortunately most of my classrooms using AppleTV don't have ethernet connections available so we have to rely on the WIFI.
What other solution is there? No network changes have been made that could specifically relate to this to my knowledge - and again, AppleTV's running 6.1.2 work fine. Unless something has changed on the networking side of the coin with the 7.X.X firmware? I can't find a changelog that specifically addresses what bugs are fixed (if any) or changes made. Desperate for a solution here.

OS Mavericks has disabled Airplay mirroring on my Mid 2010 MBP, on all apps except iTunes. WHY???!!!

A major function of my computer has now been disabled - not because the MBP cannot run it (as proven by Mountain Lion and current iTunes functionality) which is now, in my opinion, rendering the 3 year old computer 'not fit for purpose'!!
I can't even stream the BBC iPlayer from safari onto my v3 Apple TV!!!
(one of many things I could do with OS Mountain Lion)
Apple, please rectify this quickly.

Hello Liam,
It sounds like you are not seeing the AirPlay mirroring icon on your MacBook Pro after upgrading to Mavericks. I found an article with steps you can take when you do not see the AirPlay icon. I recommend reviewing the full article and specifically steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring:"
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion

Our family has multiple products from IPods, IPads, IMac, and Apple TV. However, we made a mistake when registering them so that we seem to have at least two different ITunes accounts. How do I combine them or reset the accounts to make them one?

Over the years we have purchased multiple products from IPods, IPads, to IMacs. Unfortunately, along the way, we accidentally created more than one ITunes accounts so that we can only access some songs etc on certain devices and not on others. How do we reset our devices to create one account or transfer our music to one account?

You don't. You cannot combine iTunes accounts at this time. Pick the one that you want to use and stick to that one account for all the purchases.
Before making any changes read this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627

2009-001 Security Update Has Broken Printing From VMWare

Are Apple aware that their latest security patch has affected the ability to print from a guest OS in VMWare Fusion?
I've installed Adobe Reader 8 since the update, and that won't print too, though I can still print PDF's from Preview, perhaps the update has affected CUPS.
Since Apple recommend VMWare (quite rightly) in their online store, I hope that they feel an obligation to help solve this!

Me too!
in my experience Parallels is a lot more twitchy and problematic than VMWare.
I'm not sure about the definition of "twitchy" in this (or any) context.
That doesn't mean that VMWare is perfect; it's not by any means.
I've never seen any software that is prefect and without bugs. I want to sound fair and unbiased, but I can honestly say that I have never experienced any problem, of any kind, in Parallels. It has never failed me.
I cannot say the same for VMWare. I tried it, found numerous problems immediately. The 2.0 version seems better. It doesn't appear to make the Mac itself unstable, even when VMWare isn't running.
But I've found it to be much more stable than Parallels (either v. 3.x or v 4.x).
For all tasks where printing isn't required I assume
It is not my intention to turn this thread into yet another Parallels vs. VMWare flame war. I have seen a great deal of disinformation targeted at Parallels over the past couple of years. I have made it a personal goal to do my part to fight it whenever I get the chance. So that is why I seem a bit testy and defensive - because I am
Neither you nor the original poster have said anything derogatory towards Parallels. Both Parallels and VMWare are fine products. In this case, VMWare has a bug. That is unfortunate for them. I haven't installed the security update myself to see if Parallels is immune. But I'm guessing it is unaffected considering the level of trashing that Parallels gets even when they don't have bugs.
It is unfortunate that the original poster was misinformed about Apple recommending VMWare. Apple will help market just about any Mac software, but I don't think Apple would ever recommend any 3rd party product over another 3rd party product. They sell both VMWare and Parallels in the Apple Store.
I am sure that VMWare will find and fix this bug fairly shortly. I'm sure Apple will help them if they ask.
I am sure that Adobe Reader 8 will not be updated to fix its bug. Adobe Reader 8 is already obsolete. Adobe Reader 9 may not have the same issue. I can't say myself because I don't use Adobe software to read PDFs. I prefer Preview, Skim, or PDFClerkPro.

I'd like to use video from iPhone to iMac using airplay

Hi!
Sometimes I watch interner video on my iPhone 5.
Please help me to understand the following:
IS IT POSSIBLR TO WATCH THE SAME VIEOS USING AIRPLAY FROM IPHONE TO IMAC?
Thanks in advance

Not by design though I think there are 3rd party apps that may allow this.
For example:

Never tried it - there may be a demo - let us know if it works.

Network disappears completely from Airport on iMAC, G4 Powerbook +iPhone 4

Can anybody please help..!
My network has disappeared completely from Airport on iMAC, G4 Powerbook + iPhone 4 and even after restarting the router several times the network does not reappear. It's been 2 days now and i need it to work from home urgently.
thanks in advance !

Hi Shane
if it's missing from three devices, I imagine that you may need to connect to it via ethernet cable & see if the wireless id is set to be hidden, as well as checking the setup pages to see if wireless is actually operating correctly.
Something like iStumbler or WiFi Scanner should help you determine that too.

I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared?

I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared. It works perfectly well from my iPhone and iPad and tt did work for a while from the iMac allowing me to select multiple speakers including Apple TV and my two panasonic stereo systems which are airplay compatible, but now only works from iPhone/iPad. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I as having a similar problem with the iOS remote application. I was trying to stream my iMac's media to my Apple TV, but the iMac would not show up as a choice. This was particularly frustrating because I have updated in the last to weeks to 1.) The Yosemite Beta on my iMac, 2.) New sotware on my ATV, and 3.) iOS8 on my phone. It was impossible to ascertain which of those three updates was the culprit. So after much troubleshooting (and much swearing), the following seemed to work:
One-by-one, disengage home sharing on all three devices and then re-engage. Pretty simple. Let us know if it works for you!

Managing multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac

May be a very simple question to answer, but can I manage multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac?
I ask as whilst I'm totally Mac'd, my partner who has her own Apple account has a Winows laptop and experiences problems updating iOS software on her iPhone 4S and iPad 3 Gen via the laptop. I'm thinking the problems may be overcome if we manage her iOS devices through my iMac.

Thanks dwb .... I thought there'd be a catch .... not to keen on all that media and apps on my iMac!
The specific problem is that whenever she updates to the latsest version of iOS using the latest iTunes for Windows on her PC laptop she seems to lose something in the process. One time she lost all her texts and the other day when updating to 5.1.1 she lost all her reminders. Not the end of the world but frustrating and shouldn't really happen and doesn't happen to me using the iMac and OSX.

Your ios 7 has broken my wifi connection on my ipad. I hve a brand new router 30hrs old. My ipad 2 is not jail broken, jst ios 7 broken! Turning my router on and off could possibly break this also. Entropy seems solid!
My iphone 4 has no issue with ios 7 nor my apple tv!? This is becoming very fustrating nd quite annoying, I never had a problem with ios 6. Issue purely with
ios 7. Had to have telephone connections checked also, no luck! Have also spent monies on xtra GB, problem still persists, making it very unreliable to wrk with product! Would like to remain with product? If problem can be contained and rectified. Confidence is quite low in remaining with company. Can there be a speedier solution to this unreliable update, thats just manifesting in my ipad2 before it becomes stagnant. Just knowing if your technicians cannot solve the problem would ease my mind if i need to re-invest with another company (sadly) for my ipad2 works perfectly with all apps, its just the main heart beats been cannabalized, as though you have three repeaters missing in your program???? To keep our WIFI on the matrix because itz not in the Matrix. Have tried your quck fix solutions only to find their only wishful thinking. (Downtime)
Next message i read prefferably would be a lot more solid and positive in solving this technical glitch thats becoming nothing but a big itch so K. I. S. S use our S. W. A. T. analyses, head down and P. P. P. P. P. would you agree and hopefully we can all get on with our own private lives and come up with positive replies and better ideas instead of big ideas that just ain't 99.9% Working!
Anyhow Good Luck Hope you Work it Out.!!!
Since posting this hopeful delima, iOS 7 has stayd connected for at least a solid 12 hrs+, iCloud backup has now been running more than 5.5 hrs with no interruptions, storage information at top of page has also disappeared indicating a backup rate of 60% success, f this b my new iOS, I only have heart crossd, not fingers. Future update, Probable. Hopefully finger on the button, Confidence, High!!!
So far wifi still connected

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
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.
