SprintTV and Apple TV mirroring
I got the SprintTV app for my Sprint iPhone 5. Seems like a good app, works well on WiFi, and all that. But as best as I can figure out, I am unable to make it the video mirror through my AppleTV. Some of my other apps, like YouTube have that little icon which allows me to mirror my iPhone to Apple TV.
Am I doing something wrong, or can apps actually block streaming to Apple TV? Of course, if they can, why? Silly. I guess my other alternative is an HDMI connector from my iPhone to my TV, but that's just a mess.
I should have figured that. SprintTV streams TV shows, and it has more shows than say Hulu, so I like it. But it only works on my iPhone. It only works on the iPad if you have a Sprint enabled one.
I guess I'll use the HDMI connector, as annoying as that is.

IPad and Apple TV mirror intermittent yet wifi signal is strong with solid Internet connection
On my iPad, I like to be able to mirror everything to my Apple TV when there is company. Sometimes this is not a problem. When I select the icon for the menu to choose iPad or Apple TV, it comes up OK but I cannot always select Apple TV. It is intermittent and I cannot find the pattern. All other connections are solid and strong.
Connect up the ipad/iphone to the Seagate hdd (use the default settings to start with, then u can change name of network/password ect)This is an app for the seagate hdd that does this.
Turn on the AppleTV and then just usging the built in Menu go to Network, and then pick the network that has been set up on the seagate Hdd.
ALL this does let you do is, Mirror the ipad/iphone as there is no internet connection. but thats ok cause internet was not a must for me. if i want internet on it, i just connect it up to my Home network. -

can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

My Macbook Air(2012) and Apple TV won't mirror!!
I purchased New MacBook Air August 2012 and Apple TV last month.
They are updated as the most recent versions.
They all are up-to-date and they are all on the same network.
They work sometimes, and most of times it won't airplay. (they don't conncect properly to each other.)
I don't want any answers about "get updates and they need to be on the same network."
Oh My home sharing is on, too. but doesn't work. they are under the same ID.
Internet works Fine!! because I can download everything on the Apple TV.
EXCEPT!!! Home Sharing and Airplay
I think it's Apple TV problem because I have iPhone5 and when my MacBook Air works, iPhone works too.
Do you think I should bring it in to the Apple Store??
I thought it was my MacBook Air problem because it wasn't updated properly, but nope. I think it is the TV.
Please help me. I'm so frustrated- about this- I was so excited about this, and I had problems from the beginning.
Apple lovers!! Help mejeanster15,
I think you are saying mirror works sometimes but not others? If that is the case then it is likely interference from a household appliance or something near by knocking your network.
As you purchased you MB Air around the time OSX 10.8 was released, if you have NEVER had mirroring, confirm you have that OS and now OS X 10.7 Lion. Even the most updated Lion will not mirror.
If neither of these are the case I have mis-read your post.

I have an Imac in my bedroom and apple tv hooked to my big screen in my living room. When I select mirror Imac on the Imac to view on the big screen in living room, can I get a wireless keyboard and track pad to control Imac from living room?
I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

when i change slide mirroring from off to on ,my new i pad lost wi fi connection and apple tv lost wifi connection:ihave last software for both.Can u help me?thanks.
when i use i pad with apple tv for see my photo,youtube and movies all ok.I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Having multiple user accounts and using apple tv mirroring breaks and also compromises privacy?
I've got a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac from Feb 2012 and the newest Apple TV 2 that I bough t a few months ago (June 2012 I think).
On my iMac I set up a second user account besides my primary account to allow my ladyfriend to use Apple TV mirroring to watch movies from my user account's Public folder. It worked for a short time and then (now I wonder if this was when 10.8.1 was released) it ceased to work.
Here's what happens now:
1. I log in as the TVwatching account (leaving my primary account logged in)
2. In the TVwatching account I switch on Apple TV mirroring and the result is (on the mirrored screen, not the iMac) an alternating glitchy green screen with bits of the TVwatching account's desktop and then bits of my primary account's desktop flashing in the background
3. I turn off mirroring
4. I log back in as my primary account (leaving TVwatching user logged in) and turn on mirroring and the mirrored display looks just fine
5. I turn off mirroring
6. Log back into the TVwatching account (leaving the primary user logged in) and this time, when I turn on mirroring, it's clearly viewing my primary user's account --- HELLO PRIVACY BREACH!!! Also, no green screen and no flip-flop flashing of the two user's desktops.
When I log out my primary user and just log into TVwatching account it works as expected but I would think I should be able to have multiple user account support since I leave my computer (and my primary account) on all the time.
One thing I will try is the newly released 10.8.2 update (installing as I write this) and I'll see if I can still reproduce.I should add that I did a system restore of the Apple TV this evening too and was still able to reproduce, as well as the firmware update that was available. As far as I can tell, the Apple TV is up to date on the latest everything.

Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2
I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
and plays properly.
Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
Thanks again.

When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?
I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly! -
I have apple tv 5.21 and 4s phone with os 6.1.3 mirroring icon doesnt show i updated my itoons with my computer and phone i restored the apple tv settings to factory and still no mirroring option my apple tv software is 5.2.1
Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

I have an iPad2 and apple tv all are current on the latest updates. I can play music and films on the ipad and these come through on Apple TV. However when I try to mirror the screen there is no toggle button. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Hi I just solved this. You need to connect you apple tv to you pc via a micro USB cable. It then appears in your iTunes like your phone or iPod/iPad. The click to restore it, it will then download and update to the latest firmware 4.4. Once it's all complete connect back to tv and restart all your devices, iPad/ iPhone/ router.
This fixed mine. Hope this helps
