Trying to mirror iPad to TV with AppleTV

iPad 2 and iPad Mini, both with iOS 8.1
I have two problems. First, when I try to watch content on my iPad on my TV using AppleTv I am able to swipe up to the Control Panel the click Airplay>AppleTV. But there is no mirroring switch. The instructions say the switch should be just below the AppleTV selection point. I can't really mirror my iPad screen without that switch. For example, if I watch a YouTube video the viewing area on the iPad is blank except for the video controls but I am able to see the video on my TV. Also, I can't mirror web pages or e-mail, etc. the way I think I should be able to. Why can't I get the mirror switch.
Second question, which is similar. Tonight I wanted to use my iPad mini with AppleTV for the same purposes. At first I couldn't get the selection of AppleTV on the mini. After some time I was able to select it but never got anything to display on the TV.
Both iOS devices are connected to the same network as the AppleTV and Home Sharing is turned on.
Any suggestions? Nothing is working the way the instructions say they should.

BTW, I am only trying to use the iPad or Mini one at a time. I've been sure that only one is in AppleTV and the other in iPad mode. So that is not the problem.

Hi Swiss Mister
It is amazon, they block air play on the app. Only amazon can change this.

Mirroring my PC laptop with AppleTV for use with a SMART Board

I just installed an AppleTV in my classroom. My iPad mirrors onto my SMART Board via the appleTV, but I cannot do the same with my PC laptop. Do I need additional software to mirror presentations such as power point, the Internet, SMART documents, etc.?

Yes, try a 3rd party program like Airparrot.

IPod on iPad not connecting with appletv

I want to play the iPod on the iPad on my apple tv but I can't get it to work. I use the remote button to sync with The computer and then to Apple tv. But i want to play songs from the iPad through apple tv. I am able to click on the button for apple tv from the iPad but nothing comes out of the speakers. I can only use the system by using the remote button on the iPad.

Has it ever worked? What operating system is on PC and what version of iTunes?

HT201335 I have been trying to mirror my iPod Touch with my recently purchased Apple TV without success. I have a model MD723LL/A iPod Touch, version7.0.4 28.0 GB. I have a model MD199LL/A version 6.0.2 Apple TV. Do I have to correct iPod?

Need help getting Airplay to work using my iPod Touch modelMD723LL/A version 7.0.4, 28.0 GB. My Apple TV model is MD199LL/A version 6.0.2. Both the iPod and Apple TV is on the same network and WiFi. When I double click the action button on the fron of the iPod, I do not get the box that is supposed to show up. I am thinking I may not have the correct version iPod. Would be helpful is someone would assist and let me know what I may try.

How old is your iPod? Mirroring requires a 5th generation iPod Touch, which was released in late 2012.
As of IOS 7 this function has been moved to the control centre, which you access by swiping up

IPad like freezing or slow after mirroring with AppleTV

Hello,
We have an issue with iPad mirroring, some time with some iPad’s (ipad3 or ipad4 with ios 7) while mirroringiPad gets dead slow (freezes), mirrored screen shows black, no content on the projector screen. If we turn off mirroring, ipad becomes normal, but for mirroring to work only option is to reboot (meantime other ipads are OK in mirroring to the same AppleTV). we use wlan .11n. Any advice.
thanks

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV. I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on. I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
You have two possibilities:
1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library.

When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I only have one iTunes account, so I am a little confused. If I select the option to "Transfer Purchases, I get an error message that says "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
Any suggestions is appreciated.

Have you synced to this computer before?

That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
You can read bout it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

My iPhone 5 is not being recognized by my iMac. All my other devices, including iPod and iPad are recognized with no sync problems. I've tried every approach with online help as well as an Apple advisor by phone. Help?

Also if you have an experience to share then do share it as well please.

Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2

Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2 and last update achieved

you have to be sure that you have iOS 4.4 on your Apple TV. Apple pulled 4.4 due to problems and hasen't re-released it yet. the only way now is to hook it up to your computer with a micro USB cable and then in iTunes you should see your Apple TV and do a restore and it will then put 4.4 on the Apple TV but it will wipe out all your settings and you will have to do all that over again but mirroring will then work.

Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different plug sockets, different plugs/cables, help

Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box that came with it but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different mains plug sockets around the house with no joy, I have tried different USB mains plugs but again no joy, I tried using my new iPad cable into the USB port of my MacBook Pro laptop but still no joy, then, I tried using my old iPod classic cable into my MacBook Pro and that worked, so I have a way of charging my new iPad3 but its not practical as i have to take my MacBook Pro everywhere if I want to charge it which kind of defeats the object of having an iPad, has anybody experienced anything similar and how was it fixed? can anybody help me please...

Grumpy Gator,
Please note it did say at the store's discretion, but people have actually been able to return it to the on-line store. (I only saw a couple who tried.)
And given the outcry, I would think Apple might have other Apple stores join in. Just in case, though, if you can, you might bring it in today.
If it's an ARS, my guess is they can stick to their 14 day return. Apple cannot force them to do it. SO if it's not bought directly from Apple, and it's past the 14 day deal, I'd bring it in to the store today if you have one. When I gave people the cnet.com site, I gave it so people could read it and know only Apple had made the decision for Apple. And I suggested to some that an Apple reseller would probably stick with their own return policy.
Because Arnie had just bought his, he should be able to return it to Apple or an ARS because an ARS has to have some kind of full refund or at least return for credit within 7 or 14 days of purchase.
Hope this helps.
