Unable to use AirPlay from multiple iOS and MacBook pro
HI, I seem to be having issues using AirPlay From multiple iOS devices.
I have the following devices, iphone 6 plus, iPad air (both Gen 1 and 2) an iPad 2 and a MacBook Pro running Yosemit. I also have 2 Apple TVs (both gen 1 and 2).
Recently I have found that I am unable to use AirPlay on any of the iOS devices to either Apple TVs, the MacBook Pro will Airplay mirror ok, I am however able to use iTunes shairing from a Windows 8PC. I have restarted and also reset both Apple TVs and my router, I have also reset the connection settings on all the iOS devices but still can't resolve the issue.
The Apple TVs have Internet connection so I can't see any issues network connections.
ANyone else got got any Ideas?
Thanks
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

WD My Passport 1TB USB external drive randomly ejects from my iMac and MacBook Pro.
The drive is approximately 4 years old. When the drive is plugged in, I can see the data. It appears to be working properly. The only problem is that everyone of my Apple Machines are ejecting it. Several years ago, this drive connected to Mac machines with no problems. I have tried two separate USB cords. I have updated the firmware. I have tried it on my MacBook, two different Macbook Pro's, and my iMac.
All give the same result of random ejection of the drive and the error message of:
Disk Not Ejected Properly
Eject "1TB Passport HD" before disconnecting or turning......
Searching through the web, it seems this is an common/known problem. Does anyone know the solution?
Thanks,Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How can I use AirPlay Mirroring or equivalent with MacBook Pro 5,5?
Hi!
I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 (mid-2009 13"), which I recently treated with a RAM bump, an SSD drive and a shiny new battery.
I'd like to buy an Apple TV in order to use AirPlay Mirroring. I understand that only the MacBook Pro laptops that have been released in 2011 or later are compatible with the feature, but I know that some third party apps (like AirParrot) offer a decent workaround. Unfortunately, it seems that the MacBook Pro 5,5 (i.e. my laptop!) isn't compatible with AirParrot.
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Thanks!!

I am unable to use an external microphone on my MacBook Pro (17-inch Late 2008)
I have a dilemma. I wanted to use Skype on my MacBook Pro as I have before (successfully) but I have a new headset so I decided to plug it in and use it. I plugged the green headphone jack into the headphone jack on the side of the computer and did likewise with the pink microphone jack into the mic/line-in hole.
Skype seemed to work but I realized the audio output was coming through the headphone but the audio input was coming from the internal mic on the computer. I went into Settings and found the sound control. I tried to change from internal mic to external line in, which you can do, but there is no audio input at all then. Switch back to internal mic and all is well again.
The headset is new and works fine on my DELL so I know the issue is in the MacBook. If I open the sound conteol and unplug the headphone from the jack the computer knows and changes the settings right in front of me from headphones to internal speakers... as it should. The same does not happen for the microphone. Nothing seems to happen with the external line in port.
I have run out of ideas. Is there something I am missing here? All I want to do is use the mic on the headset instead of on the laptop. Seems simple enough.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Ideas??
JimA USB mic would be the best bet. Blue make some outstanding USB mics. I would just return the one that you've purchased and buy a Blue USB mic.

HT5887 What about airdrop between iOS and Macbook Pro?
Will the iphone 5s be discoverable for macbook pro anytime soon? Im not able to airdrop anything between my macbook pro and my iphone 5s.
We are just users, so we cannot tell you the answer. AirDrop is not designed to transfer files between an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and a Mac yet.

Using airplay with multiple devices and different apple IDs
I have Apple TV, iPod touch and iPad utilizing 2 different apple IDs. I can't seem to get airplay working on both devices. Help appreciated
iWeb is an application you can use to create webpages with.
Formerly it was part of iLife. But it is discontinued.
It doesn't work with airplay.
And since this forum is about iWeb, chances are very slim you will get an answer in this forum.
Why not ask in the Apple TV, iPod touch or iPad forums? -
I also use an adaptor so it can fit in the micro SD slot on my mac. Does that make any difference? The files are the same format, too. For example: some music files on the card are .mp3 and some other music files on my mac are .mp3 as well. I'm not sure what's going on here.
1. Sorry i wasn't specific about the version of NTFS 3G, this link http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/2010/10/ntfs-3g-for-mac-os-x-2010102.html is the free version, you may see the known issues, although i don't have any problems with the app.
2. Fat32 shouldnt be a problem :S, ill try it myself tomorrow (i don't have my mac with me right now).
Edit: One thing kinda obvious and may have overlooked, the micro sd adapter usually has a lock mechanism on the left side, is it locked? if so unlock it. -
In the past month, I have stopped being able to play youtube content to my apple TV from my iphone - I can only get audio to play, and no video. When I activate mirroring, the video quality is much worse than it ever was before. Additionally, there is no option to play any content from youtube to my apple tv from my macbook. What has changed?
The native Youtube app was removed in IOS 6. You would have had to download the official 3rd party app, which has not been enabled for airplay. This is up to the developer to do.
The only way to do stream Youtube content from laptop to Apple TV natively is through Airplay mirroring, which requires a recent (2011 or later) model running Mountain Lion. The alternative is going through software, Airparrot. -
We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.
About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem. -

The videos I watch on my Apple TV from my iMac while using AirPlay are VERY slow and delayed
Hi, I just bought an Apple TV and I'm just trying to watch some movies and videos wirelessly using AirPlay from my iMac so I don't have to conect it directly to my TV. The videos I intend to watch are already in mp4, there's nothing wrong if I watch them on iMac though. My Internet conexion is not that bad I watch Netflix and browse the Web and stuff from my TV Software and it never stops or gets delayed, it only happens with the Apple TV. Speaking of which, I already linked my Netflix account with the Apple TV and it works PERFECTLY fine, no delays or frozen pictures, it's just this problem with airplay. I have a Belkin Router for my home network. I already updated the Apple TV software and there's no improvement.
Hope someone could help me out here, thanks!I have a similar issue with my Home Sharing. Everything plays just fine on my Apple TV except when I try to play a movie using Home Sharing. If I choose the same show or movie from the Purchased section of iTunes it works just fine but nothing ever loads for me on Home Sharing.
Not the exact same issue, but very similar. Good luck, I'm hoping to learn something here too!
