Native Air Play for MacMini without AppleTV?
This question pertains to a recently-purchased MacMini, not earlier versions of the product.
I want to project images from an iPhone or iPad to a conference room LCD projector using Air Play. The most frequently recommended method for doing this is to equip the projector with an Apple TV.
However, it would be nice to occasionally access Internet content using the projector and a wireless keyboard/mouse--tasks not easily done using an Apple TV.
Can I equip the LCD projector with a MacMini rather than an Apple TV and still "Air Play" from iPhones and iPads? Or does Air Play functionality presume the existence of an Apple TV?
Likely this app:
Reflector - AirPlay mirror your iPhone or iPad to any Mac or PC, wirelessly.
Note it does not work with old iOS devices as stated in the Requirements section

Embedding swf files in AIR app for ios
Hi,
After going through a lot of articles already available, I found answers with varying views on the following questions:-
1) Can we embed swf files using the embed tag in air app for ios, with symbols exported ?
Something like [Embed(source="someSWF",symbol="exportedSymbol")]
and also something like [Embed(source="someSWF")].
From what I understand, one can't embed swf's with actionscript byte code in them. So exporting symbols actually creates class linkages which leads to creation of abc. But I'm unsure on this because some sources say otherwise.
2) Can we embed swf files using embed tag in air app for ios, without symbols exported ?
Something like [Embed(source="someSWF")]
and also something like [Embed(source="someSWF" mimeType = "application/octet-stream")]
I read somewhere else, that you can actually embed symbols separately by providing symbol tag in embed tag but not entire swf (which leads to uncompiled actionscript error) but not sure about this as this is contradictory to finding #1.
3) If #2 is possible, then do embedding two different swfs with same symbol names would cause a conflict and result in #3747 error ?
Please note I am not asking about the Loader class here but using the Embed keyword for embedding swfs.
Also do the results differ with AIRSDK 3.8 and 3.9 and using different swf-version in compiler flags ?
In our application we started getting error #3747 in class creation of one of the embedded swfs (like new EmbeddedClass()) when we changed from swf-version 17 to 21 using AIRSDK 3.8. So was this error not there earlier or it was there but swf-version was suppressing it ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!I am fairly sure that the answer to your questions is: “no”.
For embed to work the AIR app would have to be working in interpreter mode, and that can work for local testing, but can’t work for submitting apps. An easy change for you to do would be to use SWCs instead of Embed. Other than that you’re looking at Loader, but also a tricky command line build of the app. -
My Imac should be able to get the recopie video via Air play because it is from Mid 2011.
Nothing work except the audio : Why?No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.

•OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
{According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
•HP Support Forum - Home:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/?lang=en&cc=us
You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

Repeatedly prompted for air play password?
At work I am repeatedly prompted to enter a password for Air Play though I've never even setup an Air Play password. This just started happening to me recently and is random.....some days it never pops up and days like today It's popped up multiple times. Very frustrating.
Hello leavitt050,
It may help to force close all open apps and reset your device.
Force an app to close in iOS
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
If you're still getting prompted for an AirPlay password, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on

Every other function works perfectly, and my Internet/router are working at top speed. I can watch HD Netflix and YouTube but nothing via my iTunes library on my MacBook or iPad. All software is updated. The AppleTV will recognize that Air Play is trying to do it's thing, but with music files it sounds like they're skipping and video files just load endlessly.
I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help. -

need help setting up second express as a range extender for my air play from 1st station which is up stairs and plugged into my home theater?????
I'm a great believer in the KISS principle.
Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition. Then connect the Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router). Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations EXCEPT as noted on the first graphic below. After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords. AirPlay is a separate selection. Refer to second graphic below.
Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands. BE PATIENT! -
My iPhone5 is my wifi hot spot for my mac minim computer and iPad. I live in a rural area with no other options. Will this be sufficient to run Apple TV and air play?
If you are intending using your hot spot to download movies for the Apple TV, you'll very quickly eat through your data allowance.

i cant mirror my i pad 1 to apple tv, works for air playing music though, i can play videos, and mirror from i phone 4 s
Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately the iPad 1 does not support mirroring. Mirroring is only supported on the iPad 2 or better or on the iPhone 4S. -
How can I get dock connector to turn off on air play. There is no longer a choice for sound to be displayed on iPad. I do not own outside speakers. Have already reset. Thanks
Slow, intermittent. Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair- this is of no help.
I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

I unplugged my iPod Classic without ejecting it first. It played for many hours(about 8) after that but then suddenly stopped working and it has a blackend screen that seems to say paused. Wondering if there is a way to get it to work again.
Hey hughborg25,
I found an article that can help you troubleshoot when an iPod becomes unresponsive or the screen goes black:
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
I would go through all the steps listed there, and the issue should be resolved by the end.

Air play does not turn off album covers if music is selected or pictures if photos is selected on appleTV. How do I un-mix them?
So even if I download the $4.95 software upgrade it won't do that?
Anyone know of any Apps that will do what I need? -
I'm Writing from singapore. Can i purchse Apple tv from Apple store and use it in singapore. i will be only using it for the airplay feature.

Please revert
thank you
Vejan!You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
I don't really follow your next point.
instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.
