Mirroring with AirPlay problem

Hi,
I'm new here becaue I just got the latest AppleTV and I am having trouble setting up Mirroring using AirPlay.
My AppleTV is hardwired with Ethernet and NOT connected to the Wi-Fi. Is this the probable cause?
Simply put, does my AppleTV have to be connected to the WiFi network in order to be visible to my iOS devices.
I plugged in Ethernet assuming it would be the fastest for watching itunes movies etc.and therefore didn't connect via WiFi.
Or can I stay pluggeg into Ethernet for streaming and also connect to WiFi to enable AirPlay mirroring???
Looked in a lot of places but couldn't find a clear explanation of my alternatives.
Thanks

I have the same problem, too.
I have Apple TV 3, and if I use wifi, the Airplay icon show on my iPad 2, but if I use ethernet connection for Apple TV, the Airplay icon not show up on my iPad. There's no problem for visit internet on both wifi and ethernet, Youtube/Movie/ all working.
I am very sure the wifi and ethernet are one same local network, but I have no idea why is not working. Maybe I need a Apple Airport extreme ?

Apple Support Communities / iBooks / iBooks for iOS Videos in iBooks don't start while mirroring with AirPlay since iOS 8 update

Since the iOS update to iOS 8 the iBook I sell in the iBook-store don't play any Video while mirroring with AirPlay. It´s not even starting the video via AirPlay if I push play. If I start the video with the "open-gesture" with two fingers it starts - but only the sound. Since this is a schoolbook the AirPlay mirroring of Videos is quiet important to me. With iOS 7 everything worked fine. Even if export my iBook from iBooks Author on my computer everything works fine. But if I upload it via iTunes Producer and download the book from there store (like a regular costumer), it doesn't work anymore. I've checked the specs of all my videos - everything should be fine. Also iTunes Producer only accepts m4v and mp4 videos (they are all) - there is no warning that something is not correct if i upload my book to the store. I tried a lot ... i used the built-in encoder on MAC OS X Yosemite, I also used Quicktime and some open source programs to code my videos...but nothing worked. I'm really desperate...does anybody has a similar problem..?

yes - this was reported by several customers! Here you can see that I´m not the only one with this problem ....

Apple TV Ipad-2 Mirror with Airplay not working w/ HBOGO

I have Apple TV 2, latest one with upgrade to 4.4, I have iPad 2 w ios 5, I have Lion on my Mac and latest iTunes 10.5. I have HBO go app which streams the HBO shows, when I am streaming the show on the iPad and have the AirPlay bar at the bottom that lets me select to connect to Apple TV and I do connect to Apple tv, it only plays the Audio through the TV, no Video. Am I doing something wrong?

As of now HBOGO does not support either mirroring or HDMI connections from device to TV. When I tried to mirror my iphone 4s the screen had the hbogo logo and a disclaimer that it wasnt supported at this time but they are working on it for the future.

Can you run airplay mirroring WITH airplay to other speakers (airports?)

I'd love to have the iTunes visualizer running on our AppleTV enabled flatscreen while running our usual output of music to several sets of remote speakers. When I select Apple TV in the Airplay taskbar it disconnects any speakers running and vice versa.
Late 2012 MacbookPro i5 etc. Running 10.8.2 Thx

Yes, you need Mountain Lion.

Why does mirroring with airplay always stop when streaming videos?

When streaming video from my iPad2 to AppleYV using mirroring, the video is always stopping to buffer. How can I fix that?

Problem with Airplay Mirroring: Image Cut Off

I have a mid 2011 Macbook Pro.   I have installed Mountain Lion.   I am able to activate Airplay Mirroring, however, part of the image is cut off.   In other words, what is shown on my TV is only about 2/3 of the image that is shown on my macbook.    It is not showing a black bar, or anything like that.   It is more like the image is enlarged and doesn't fit on the TV screen.
I have searched the internet trying to find a solution.   I haven't found anyone with this problem.   So, my question is, do I have some settings wrong?   Or is it a problem with the settings on my TV?   If anyone has suggestions for troubleshooting this problem I would be grateful!   I really want to use airplay!
Thanks!

OK, I am replying to my own question!    My husband just found a thread solving this problem.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19070883#19070883#19070883
We changed the video settings on the Apple TV to 'auto', and restarted.   It works great now!

Problem with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes

Hi,
I have a new iMac (purchased April 2013) running OS X Mountain Lion and am having issue with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes via Apple TV 3 running the latest update.
I have no problem streaming ITunes music (audio) to my Apple TV 3 via AirPlay.
However, when I enable Airplay Mirroring to ATV3 (either via System Prefs or via the Airplay Mirroring menulet icon at upper right of the screen), 2 things happen:
1. My iMac screen gets mirrored to my HDTV via ATV3 as expected (good)
2. Music (audio) stops playing via ATV3 (bad) - this is the key issue I am trying to resolve
When i disable Airplay Mirroring, I am able to again play music via ATV3.
Am I missing a setting somewhere to enable BOTH video and audio Airplay mirroring from my iMac via ATV3?
Thanks,
Kevin

I think I have found the reason for my problem...

HT204291 AirPlay mirroring with iPad 2

Since updating my Apple TV software, I can't use airplay mirroring with my iPad 2. I need it for a presentation in a couple of hours. Why doesn't this work anymore?!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Airplay mirroring with 2012 macbook pro ATV3 lagging

Hey! Just went out and bought a appl tv gen 3 for my new macbook pro 13"
Boy was I surprised by the lousy quality when turning on airplay mirroring...my wireless setup consists of a airport express (the older version) and the Apple tv. I tried mirroring with my ios devices too and it is lagging considerable - to the degree that I will probably return it to the store.
Watching the video reviews online and apple's commersials it all runs smooth so I'm also thinkng there might be a problem with my unit. The ATV has full connection in the status bar to my wireless. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection when surfing the web with the laptop or ios devices.
After doing some searches on the web I kind of get the feeling that it used to work, before 10.8 upgrade...is this true? In that case I might keep it and hold my breath for a fix. Otherwise it will be returned pretty quick.

Im having the same issue. Airplay to apple tv 3rd gen works great on ipad 3. On my $4000 macbook pro retina with 16gb and 2.7ghz cpu it keeps lagging and freezing.
Can anyone please help us?

Airplay problem with photos

I have the latest software on my iPhone 6 and the latest software on my Apple TV. I can airplay videos from the iPhone, but I can't airplay photos. Using the same equipment AND my wife's iPhone 5S, it does Airplay photos. Is there some setting on my iPhone to enable Airplay from my photos?

Thanks. I took a look at the link and it doesn't apply in my case. I clearly see the AirPlay icon and I don't have any performance issues. Yesterday I tried to make an appointment with a local Genius Bar to take care of this problem (unable to AirPlay photos, but strangely can AirPlay videos I shot). Apple has made it MUCH harder to make a Genius appointment via the internet. Perhaps if I just showed up at a store, they would take me at the Genius Bar.
Instead, at least online, I ended up with a "chat" guy and about 1.5 hours, trying to fix the problem. Due to the explanations going back and forth with a keyboard and assuming my "chat" guy was dealing with others at the same time, at least an hour was consumed before really trying to fix the problem. I'm guessing a Genius appointment would have been signed, sealed and done in less than 15 minutes.
So, the chat guy finally said to try a "Reset All Settings" which I did. That froze up my iPhone 6 for well over 15 minutes (no movement on the progress bar period). I then think "brick". I suggest a hard reset (power button + home button). That put the phone in full recovery, but with the same problem (no AirPlay of photos). The chat guy then suggested "erase all content and settings" and then restore with my backup. I haven't done that yet because I dread having to then rearrange all my apps again into folders, etc etc.
The short version here is I'm going to miss the Genius Bar to take care of dinko problems such as this. I assume this new Genius Bar policy has to do with some "bean counters" looking at the increased Apple consumer head count jamming up the Genius Bar.
Progress???

Apple TV having problems with Airplay

Hi
I'm having problems with Airplay on my Apple TV. It will play A video once then errors out. Wifi has full strength and software is up to date. i have tried forgetting the wifi and reconnecting. This will fix the problem for a moment and then it errors out again. Netflix and everything else seems to be working fine just airplay keeps kicking me out. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi mrshoughton,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your Apple TV. If you continue to have issues with Airplay performance from your device/computer to your Apple TV, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful. In particular, if you are using Airplay from iTunes on a computer, you may want to rule out any WiFi issues by temporarily connecting your computer and your Apple TV directly to your router via Ethernet, as noted in the second article below:

Ios 7.0.6 Problems with Bose SoundLink Air with Airplay

Hello,
We recently updated all of our ios devices to ios 7.0.6. We have found that when using our Airplay Bose speaker, eveything will work great for a minute or so just to suddenly drop. However, it works just find with my Macbook Pro. I have slowed wireless signal (2.4 GHz N wireless) and still have the same problem. Has anyone else had this problem and did you solve it?

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.

Airplay mirroring errors and problems since Mavericks 10.9.2 update

Since the 10.9.2 update, I get an error saying I am unable to mirror airplay to my Apple TV occasionaly. When I restart my computer, mirroring will work. But then after so long I will get the error again and be forced to restart. Anyone else have this problem or have any fixes?
P.S. - I do not use AirParrot or the like.

I started this topic, because I could not find anyone else with my same issue. My airplay works flawlessly (both audio and video) but then my Mac occasionally requires a reboot when I want to begin using Airplay again at a later time. Many people also had 3rd party software that conflicted with Airplay. I have never downloaded such 3rd party software that mimics Airplay. Again, any help would be appreciated.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:
