Peer to Peer Airplay w Apple TV and iPhone?

I want to do peer to peer screen sharing from my iphone 5 (ios 8.1) to my new Apple TV (model A1469, 7.0.1 (6912) software). We don't have WIFI in the office and that's why I want to do peer to peer. I can't get my phone to find the Apple TV when I click on Airplay. It only shows my phone as a device.
I have rebooted my phone and the Apple TV. Airplay is ON. Security option is "password". I installed the new OS on my phone and also did the updates for the Apple TV. I've read all the instructions on apple.com for doing this, which is really just a couple of sentences (Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch). Still no luck. I'd love some help! thanks.

HI man,
same problem here, latest iOS, latest ATV update, not a single device works over peer to peer...
I have two ATV's, macbook air, iPad mini, iPad Air, iPhone 5s, not a single device after this update can get AirPlay... so disappointed with Apple...

Can't get Apple watch and iPhone 5S to communicate over wifi. Any suggestions?

one feature of the watch I'm very interested in is the ability for it to communicate over wifi to my phone. Put the phone down or be charging it in another room and still use the watch. So far it works fine Bluetooth but I haven't had any success wifi. Phone is definitely connected wifi. i don't see any options on the watch or watch app on the phone that would address this . Anyone have any ideas?

According to this:
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH20767
If your Apple Watch and iPhone are on the same network but aren’t connected by Bluetooth, you can also do the following on Apple Watch without iPhone:
Send and receive messages using iMessage
Send and receive Digital Touch messages
Use Siri
It implies you should get iMessage but not email.

HT4759 I have an iMac, iMac, 10,1 10.8. I would like to have iCloud downloaded to my computer. Does my computer have the system requirement necessary. I use iCal on my Apple Notebook and Iphone 4S. Thank you!

I have an iMac, iMac, 10,1 10.8. I would like to have iCloud downloaded to my computer. Does my computer have the system requirement necessary. I use iCal on my Apple Notebook and Iphone 4S and want it to my Mac Desktop to sinc with all my Apple Products. Thank you!

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Sync new laptop with existing Apple TV and iPhone.

I have an Apple TV and a MacBook Pro (as well as an iPhone) that were all synced and dandy, until my laptop died and had to be rebuilt. Now, with a new system, I proceeded to sync with my Apple TV and iPhone and of course nothing wants to know my laptop. I tried to rename the iTunes library but to no avail.
Please help. I own loads of TV shows and movies and don't want to lose them.
Cheers
Heath.

i'd first contact apple support... some people have managed to make arrangement to re-download the stuff after getting themselves in such a situation.
after that you are kinda between a rock and a hard place... sycn and everything will be wiped from your appleTV... you have two options that both void your appleTV warranty..
1) take the appleTV appart and remove its hard drive... attach it to your computer... put it inside a enclosure (USB, Firewire, eSATA)... or connect it internally via SATA etc
2) hack the appleTV and remote into it to get the files off...
the above methods can be found online if you do a search...
as you've discovered appleTV is not a reliable storage for your files... you can't get anything off of it if something happens to your computer (officially anyway) and it can't be backup if something goes wrong with the appleTV... should always transfer your purchases back to your computer, external drives and then backup what you have on your computer... otherwise you're just asking for trouble as you've found out now.... everyday there are people asking how to store files only on their appleTV and people warning them that they are crazy to do this... and then an equal number of people ask how to get the files off of their appleTV... appleTV is temp storage not archiving, not backup... treat it as such and you are just asking to lose all your media

ICloud photos are available on Apple TV and iPhone but only some are showing up on my PC.

My iCloud photos are available on Apple TV and iPhone but only habout half of them show up on my laptop (windoes 8). On my old laptop I could view all photos and download etc. I tried to trouble shoot using advice here but not I can't see any of them on my laptop.

I have the same problem. One-time events are showing up everywhere, but repeating events (the majority of my schedule!) are not showing up on icloud (they do show up on my computer at home and on my iphone...)

Apple developer notes on video format for iPod, Apple TV and iPhone

I have been doing a bit of searching on information for converting video for the Apple TV and came across this web-page which contains technical information of converting video for the iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.
If you are after information on bitrates, b-frames, levels, profiles, low-complexity, etc. then this may help:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2188.html
What is interesting to note, whilst 5Mbps is the maximum bitrate, the Apple TV supports spikes up to 12Mbps.
Happy reading and please feel free to add more links to useful information on the video format for the Apple TV.

I have downloaded the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Trailer #2 .mov file and this streams quite happily on the Apple TV. This has a total bitrate of 6505Kbps and an audio bitrate of 192Kbps @ 48KHz and video 23.98fps @ 1280x544.
So, according to the Apple TV spec., the audio is well above 160Kbps and the video bitrate is well above 5Mbps. So why does it play at all on the Apple TV let alone stream without stuttering? Maybe its because the video height is 544 rather than the full 720, but why does the Apple TV get to see it?
I don't know the answers, just offering this as an example of a video that is freely available for anyone to try out which clearly exceeds some of the maximum specs for the Apple TV.
Has anyone found or got anything that beats this?

Can't rent movies/tv shows on apple tv and iphone

I've just recently updated my apple id to my current email address. All of my purchases show up with no issues. However, now, I can't rent movies or tv shows from my Apple TV and my Iphone (I can purchase music on my Iphone with no issue). I've even performed a restore on my Apple TV with no luck. I can rent them with no problem on my MacBook Pro. I'll wait for the download to complete and AirPlay from my Iphone to my Apple TV. Netflix, Home Sharing and all other services function just fine. All devices are on the same WiFi network as well. Even running the System Status report, everything's in the green. I'm frustrated and lost on how to correct this issue. All seem to work fine before updating my email address which has me thinking there was a glitch with that. Please help!!!

I actually had to go to the Genius Bar to get this solved. They made some adjustment, reloaded iTunes, and then it worked. Sorry, I can't tell you exactly what they did.

Why does airplay to apple tv from iphone 6 go dark after playing video?

Both devices have the latest updates. While browsing using Safari on iphone, and airplay to apple tv active, I click on a video. The video plays but when completed the screen goes blank. I tried turning airplay off and on but nothing seems to work. I eventually have to power off/on my iphone.

That would indicate an issue with the local network, not internet. This can impact devices differently and will likely be more obvious on a streaming only device.
If you are on wifi try ethernet
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

Purchased movies not shown in itunes (but on Apple TV and iPhone 6)

Hello,
I bought some movies on apple tv and they are shown correctly on iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2) and Apple TV 3.
But I can't see them (the movies library is shown empty) in iTunes 12 on my MacBook Air (mid 2012, Yosemite 10.10.1).
My music is shown correctly with iTunes match so i don't think it's a problem with iCloud.
Any ideas what i can do to see my purchased movies in iTunes?
Thank you a lot and happy new year!!
Peter

I've had this issue a couple of times on my Apple TV (3rd gen). I managed to get the newly matched content to show up a couple of times by editing the metadata for the album and then changing it back to the original (i.e. I changed the album title to add an 'X' to the end of it, then changed it back to the original) and it somehow triggered the iTunes Match on the Apple TV to update itself. I haven't really found a way to force Match on the Apple TV to update itself if it's being stubborn. Best of luck getting this sorted.

Getting control of Apple id on apple mac and iphone 4s?

HI, my old email address was my apple id and icloud and all my apps are linked to it. Unfortunately I have forgotten my password and my ex business partner now owns the email account. How do I get control of icloud and the other apps that are linked?

WAP371 - Apple iPads and iPhones

Standard installed WAP371 (with setup wizard) with 2,4GHz and 5GHz radio on SG100D-08P V02 delivers unstable signal and continuous up and down-connection with apple devices (iphones 4 / 5 and ipad air).
Made all kind of modification (according info from Internet forums) and even reset it back to factory settings.
Firmware upgrade to 1.0.1.5 didn't solved my problems.
Questions:
- is WAP371 the correct device? Or should I get back to something with antennes?
Had a WAP4410N working fine! But wanted to improve. Instead got worse.
- or what settings should I make to get all working fine and stable?
Would an external power ejector SB-PWR-12V2A-EU help?
Greetings,
Pascal

Sorry to hear that. I have never used those specific APs, but have fought with wireless issues with Apple devices and Cisco. Most always come back to 2.4GHz. 5GHz issues typically deal with range. 2.4GHz has much great ability to drive through walls, cubicles, and other man make material. Because of this, 5GHz only deployments typically require greater density of APs in building, unless the rooms are large and open where the radios do not have to pass through much to get to the computers they serve. On the other hand, 2.4GHz can be a nightmare where one or more of those previously mentioned interfering devices exist or there is high user to radio density. Have you tried something such as the free WiFi Analyzer app on Android to do you own site survey during peak business hours? This may not be relevant to you depending on your deployment. I have a few of my offices that are crammed in the middle of high rise buildings, with other businesses WiFi above and below them. That coupled with their own WiFi emitters can be a nightmare! Good luck and hope you find a workable solution.

Is merge of Apple ID and iPhone number permanent?

I just got an iPhone and haven't upgraded to OS X 10.8 yet. If I need to change my iPhone number, will it automatically be updated if I merge my number and Apple ID?
Just don't want to do anything that is irreversible or would bind myself to something that can't be changed.

If you're talking about the unified Apple ID and phone number for iMessage, if your phone number changes in the future, toggling iMessage off and then back on should update your number with the iMessage server. Also, you can choose not to be reached by iMessage at your phone number on your Mac in the Messages app preferences. If you mean the phone number associated with your Apple ID, this can be changed at any time by going to https://appleid.apple.com and managing your ID.

How Health App chooses between Apple Watch and iphone

For step counter, the Health App seems to pick up both steps measured by the Watch and iPhone. Even I put Watch on the top of the phone as the source, the Health app picks up duplicated data from Watch and iPhone if I carry both of them. Is there a way to fix that? Cause the data actually is very misleading.
PS. Another interesting thing is that sometimes watch and iPhone measure the same number of steps and sometimes they don't and my little test shows that iPhone actually more accurate.

I have the same issue, but my iPhone actually has fewer steps counted. I did a dumb test to count steps myself and looks like my iPhone has more accurate steps. The thing bothering me most is the Health app picks steps from iphone and watch. It doesn't recognize sometimes the data is duplicated.

Is there a way to view current playlist during airplay to apple TV and perhaps search and add to queue? So there are no interruptions between videos?

We are having a karaoke night and have all the songs as videos in iTunes, would be great to select the item and edit the current playlist.
so we have a seamless transition to the next abba video
Is this possible? Perhaps there are other products / apph able to suppor this?
Thanks
CM

No, Apple very rarely make advance announcements of bug fixes.
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar.
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library for the old search behavior.
Alternatively you roll back to iTunes 10.7. If so, first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
You might also want to use iTunes Feedback.
