No sound when using Airplay for Movies on Apple TV

For reasons unknow, when I try to stream full length movies (Lion King and Nemo bought from iTunes) from my iPhone or Macbook Pro using Airplay, there is no sound.  When I stream smaller movies, like Boundin' the Pixar Short, there is no problem.
Side note 1: Why do purchased movies not show up like purchased TV shows on Apple TV?  I feel like I shouldn't have to use Airplay for movies if I don't need to use it for TV shows I buy.
Side note 2: For some Netflix movies played directly from Apple TV there is no sound.  Other movies work fine and the movies that work or don't work seem to change day to day.
Thanks for your help.

Apple has not negotiated the rights to allow this is the assumed reason.
We can't even play Purchased music or TV Shows from the cloud in UK.

  • How do I stop system sounds when using AirPlay on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi all,
    Probably a quick question, but I'm fairly new to Macs. I've a Macbook Pro 13 Late 2011 and now I've got an Apple TV, I use AirPlay. But how do I stop system sounds when using AirPlay?
    Many thanks in advance, Jon.

    Open AirPort Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    From the AirPort Utility menu bar click AirPort Utility > Preferences
    Deselect:   Monitor AirPort base stations for problems

  • How do i change default sound when using AirPlay Display on Mavericks

    So i am using a TV with Apple TV attached as a second display for watching movies etc in the background
    Everytime i turn on the setting to enable to the display, it sets the Apple TV as my default sound and i have to go to settings to manually re-select my speakers attached to my iMac. Is there anyway to change this so it leaves the sound from my Mac as the default sound when enabling the screen.

    I looked into this a little more carefully.  It's not the Guest account.  It clearly indicates "Managed".
    Searching for more information, this is something related to Parental Control, but I can't seem to get this account to take on the characteristics of either an administrator or user role.

  • Choppy sound when using airplay with airport express

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first posting and I hope I can get some advice with the following situation:
    Setting: a CISCO router with WIFI for my apartment, a mac mini, an iphone and an ipad all connected to the network. I also have an airport express that is attached to a set of speakers (the airport express is connected to the network as a client).
    When I try to use airplay from ANY device and play music to my speakers connected to the airport express, I get choppy sound (volume goes up and down) and bad sound quality.
    Any advice and how to go around the issue?
    I've updated firmware but the issue doesn't seem to be that.
    Best Regards,
    Will

    Hello WillMendoza,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215?viewlocale=nl_nl&locale=nl_nl
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > Bluetooth.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Music skips when using airplay with iphone4 to Apple TV

    Songs will skip and pause, really annoying, could it my router???? If so how do I get airplay to work flawlessly!!!!!!!!

    Mine started doing that once I updated iphone4 to ios6 and whatever 2 updates my Apple TV said it needed to do. Worst mistake ever bc YouTube is pain through web on phone. The only thing I figured was to keep phone close to wifi router.
    I think it has to do with their software as I read people complaining about connecting to certain wifi.
    My battery drains 100% faster on ios 6 than running on 5.1.1 with my iPhone/iPad.
    Hopefully they will update soon. If I did not own 2 iPhones, New iPad, and Apple TV I would would switch to android. Apple doesn't care about their customers anymore. All they want is more stores to sell more. In the next 5 years I see a big decline in the forecast.  these are the first "new" devices since jobs passed and they are sucking it up with this software..... I am so ****** off right now.

  • My Apple TV lacking sound when using iplayer etc

  • I get sound no video when using AirPlay.  Any ideas?

    I get sound no video when using AirPlay.  Any ideas?

    Do you get an "HDCP error"?
    Since the last ATV software update, I have had  problems playing You Tube content from the iPad to the ATV using airplay, yet the same content from the You Tube channel on the ATV plays fine. I get the dreaded "HDCP error" which is nonsense, as YouTube content does not have this protection. Netflix also gives the same error. (I have posted seperately about this problem.)
    I have had a couple of years of fault-free playing with my setup, the only thing that has changed is the Apple ATV software. Ergo, they need to fix whatever bug they introduced. None of the recommended "fixes" have worked.

  • Losing WiFI on MacBook when using AirPlay to Apple TV

    When I use AirPlay to 'Extend Desktop' from my 2014 MacBook Pro to my Apple TV, about two thirds of the time my MBP will lose its WiFI connection to my Airport Extreme.  So AirPlay and Extend Desktop works fine, but my MacBook no longer has access to the Internet.  The WiFi signal strength icon on the MBP menubar just goes grey.  If I click on the menubar icon, it just says "Wi-Fi: AirPlay" rather than the name of my network.
    It's like AirPlay just takes over my WiFi connection to connect my MBP to my Apple TV, forcing out the WiFI connection to my base station.  But again, one third of the time my MBP will remain connected to the WiFi and the Internet when using AirPlay.  And other devices, like my iPad, always remained connected to the Extreme and can access the Internet. 
    I've been scouring the Internet looking for solutions or even other people having this issue, but no luck so far.  Thought I'd ask here to see if anybody had any suggestions.

    Finally got a chance to test this out. Saddly enough, it didn't work.
    I deleted the movie from iTunes (no hard delete), then added it again. Same problem :-/
    And yes, they are all saved in the same location (Movies folder).
    Any other suggestions???

  • When I stream a movie via Apple TV from my iPad Air into my Samsung TV, I'm getting the "soap opera" effect. This only happens when I use Apple TV, not when I view a movie directly through a cable channel. Is there a way to eliminate this effect?

    I'm having the same problem.  It's not an issue with my TV, i've turned this feature off.  I've tried playing with the ATV display settings but nothing works.  When I stream netflix from my Samsung bluray player, I don't get the soap opera effect, but when I stream any video from the ATV, the soap opera effect is there.  I'm thinking it's a choice that Apple made, but I really wish it could be turned off.  Not a lot of people are searching for this, because it can be easy to overlook, but it's driving me nuts!

  • Apple TV loses wireless network connection when using AirPlay from iPad or iPhone 5

    Our Apple TV loses connectivity to our wireless network while using Airplay from our iPad or iPhone 5. This started occurring after the latest iOS update. We are able to wirelessly stream movies from iTunes without any problem. This issue occurs only when using AirPlay. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I have a:
    new MBPr 15" late 2013 with dedicated graphics card
    new airport extreme base station
    3rd generation apple tv
    iPhone 5s
    200mb download speed (not important, as streaming video on your local network has nothing todo with outside bandwidth)
    All equipment is up to date software wise. Airplay mirroring from my laptop to my apple tv is ok. I get frequent lag, pixelation, audio skip (every 10 mins or so).
    I'm using the 5ghz specturm to connect to the airport express so shouldn't have any inteference from my neibours (accordiing to iStumbler i'm the only person with a 5ghz setup using channel 30). I've tried connecting apple tv wirelessly and wired. No issues streaming from my iPhone or an iPad!
    Surprisingly, using apps such as Beemer or Air Video Server on my MBP work better than native mirroring when it comes to video play back.
    Strange when you think how Air Video works:
    Video file lives on MBP
    iPhone connects to laptop
    Video plays on iPhone and is sent to Apple TV via Air Mirroring
    Rather than:
    Video played on laptop
    Video sent to Apple TV
    Seems bizzare that my iPhone can handle better streaming than my pro laptop.

  • Is there a way that when using airplay with power point the ATV does not sleep/screen saver frequently

    s there a way that when using airplay with power point the ATV does not sleep/screen saver frequently???

    I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
    If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
    Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
    Good luck,

  • When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down?

    When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down to fit under the 15 minutes required for Youtube? My current project is 23 minutes, and need to cut it down below 15 minutes. I was hoping to speed up the video. The content would actually be better viewed in at a faster speed anyhow.

    Jon,
    It sounds like you did, just as you should, Save_As and Delete everything that is unwanted. If you did the Deletion from the Timeline, there should be nothing from the old Project, that should be included. A DVD is Transcoded and burned from the Timeline. If the Assets are not there, they will not included in the DVD, even if you did not Delete anything from the Project Panel.
    Tell us about the Clips now on your Timeline. Also, can you check the Timeline, by hitting the \ (Backslash key), and looking near the end of the Timeline. Do you have any "orphans" out there? Check all Video Tracks, even if you have to scroll to see them all. Does the Duration of the Timeline (viewed in the Program Monitor) match what you think that it should? If not, then you most likely have orphans, that you missed Deleteing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • HT4437 Is it possible to zoom in photos when using airplay? It seems not to work at all. I can only zoom in if i use mirroring and even then i have to reconnect mirroring each time I chage an albumor even go from the photo to the album level.

    No.
    I find it extremely frustrating that Apple does not care for such an obvious bug affecting one of the basic funcionalities of AirPlay. Unless, of course, if there's something I don't know - but I've done some research and it seems that plenty of people have same issue and no solution is settled.

  • Apple TV speeds up playback when using airplay?

    Hi there.
    I'm trying to airplay a cartoon from my Mac mini to my Apple TV. The cartoons are imported to iTunes.
    If I open them on my computer in iTunes, the volume and picture is normal and working fine. However, when I Airplay that to my Apple TV, suddenly, it gets sped up by a bit... This increases the pitch of everything, as well as the speed of the show. What gives?
    I used handbrake to convert the files to the "Apple TV 2" setting before I imported them.. here are screens of the settings for audio/video

    one more weird thing, if I do a normal airplay of my screen to my apple TV (via the little button in top toolbar) the volume and everything is normal... so it seems to be iTunes doing this? But like I said, if I play it in iTunes and don't airplay it from there, the audio and everything is normal... what the...
