Use airplay with Apple TV without wifi connection

Is it possible to use the AirPlay feature on an iPad with Apple TV without being connected to the internet via wifi?
I'm thinking about getting my mom an iPad for X-mas later this year so that she can help some of her visually impared students. She has always wanted a good visual aid for all of her students and I figure that this would be the best solution. The only problem is that I'm not sure if she would have access to the school's wifi connection.
I would normally suggest that she use the HDMI adapter but the projector in her classroom is mounted on the ceiling and it would be a bit of a hassle to have to disconnect the cable every time so that the kids wouldnt play with it. So I figure if she can stream her content on her future iPad to the Apple TV wirelessly, she would be able to achieve what she has always wanted to do. I dont think she will be streaming anything to the Apple TV like youtube or anything like that but it would be a nice tool to have in the event that she wants to present something to her kids wirelessly from her iPad.

Unfortunately you can't send audio from the Apple TV to an airport express, but you can send audio from your mac/pc to the airport express via iTunes/Airplay, you could also send audio from an iPod/iPhone to the express. The express supports both optical and 3.5 mm in a unified port.

How do i know if my macbook can use airplay with apple tv?

AirPlay Mirroring needs an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your computer supports AirPlay Mirroring. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion

Forced to use Airplay with Apple tv

I just bought a new Retina MBP 15 inch, and since I got it with the educational discount promotion, I also got an Apple Store gift card. And with which I redeemed an Apple tv. At first having an Apple tv is an invaluable addition to making my whole house much more connected. But now it's simply more and more frustrating.
Basically I was trying to watch a video on YouTube last night on my Retina MBP using a pair of headphone, and for some reason no audio came through and the sound controls became incredibly unresponsive. I later figured it out that it's because my computer had selected Airplay as the audio output device. However for some reason, I can't seem to change that. I've just been trying to use the built in speakers on the Retina MBP to try to play some music from iTunes, however, when ever the system tries to play any sort of music, or any sound in that matter, the output device will just get switched to Airplay, which is the Apple tv, and I can't get my computer to play any sound through the built in speaker.
This is solved only when either I turned off wifi on my Retina MBP, which cuts off the connection to the Apple tv, or I unplug the power cable on the Apple tv all together to prevent it from waking up and connecting with my MPB.
This is extremely frustration if anyone has a viable solution to this problem it would be a LIFE SAVER. So THANK YOU in advance! (you can see the level of frustration here with the capital letter)

You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.
Sorry.
For older Mac, look at an app called AirParrot

Question for audiophiles using Airplay with Apple TV 2nd Gen

I'm using AirPlay on my iphone to play music to the Apple TV 2nd gen. (running optical out of AppleTV into high quality Rotel receiver) I'm hearing what I believe is best called "pumping" in the audio: the volume is modulating in waves, and the music sounds distant. I can't figure out what would cause this. I've got excellent signal strength so I don't think it's a bandwidth problem where the devices might be over-compressing and thus introducing artifacts.
I've done A/B comparisons with the same song, hardwired to my receiver, and I've heard it on all the tracks I'm streaming, so I know it's not in the recording.
Has anyone experienced this phenomenon? Thanks.

Sorry, I can only offer sympathies and the fact that I also had this issue with wired connections, using XBMC on my Mac Mini to play out to an Audiolab M-DAC. Unfortunately I made lots of changes trying to set up my Media Center, so I don't know what made it go away!
Just saying that it's not neccessarily an Airplay issue.

How can i use airplay with apple tv on a set of audio speakers?

hello there,
i've got a problem with my stereo apple tv combination.
my TV does support HDMI so i can use my apple tv on my HDTV. only my audio is being played on my internal speakers of my HDTV. I do have a set of speakers. but it doesn't support optical audio out. so i was wondering if its possible to use an Airport Express en plug my speakers in there. then wirelessly send the audio from my apple tv to my Airport/speakers. do any of you think that thats possible?? cause i really can't find another way to transfer my audio to my speakers...
Thanks alot!!

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.

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???

If I have a 2009 iMac, can I upgrade to use it with Apple TV. It doesn't have Airplay capability. If possible, what should I buy?

About the only other way I can think of is to have a computer with you or use one there, if you can put iTunes on it and download all your new stuff to the computer, then sync your iPad to that computer.
In switching computers you will lose previous content, but, as I understand it anyway, downloaded content will be the same as long as the same apple ID is used.

Can an iphone 5 use airplay with att cell service

My goal is to use an iphone 5 (with cell connection not wifi) connected to a tv using airplay and apple tv (newest version), to search the web in real time using the mirroring feature.

Nope, requires WiFi.

How can I pair with Apple TV without going to set up on Apple TV?

Sign up for what? All you need is airplay enabled on ATV, then when iPad is on the same network you double tap home button, swipe (left to right motion) and you will bring up the volume/brightness controls, along with airplay. Tap on airplay (rectangle with triangle in it) and select ATV, toggle ON mirroring.
The only way to mirror the iPad is wirelessly through ATV or by purchasing the adapter and connecting directly to your TV. Bluetooth via your Blu-Ray player won't help with this.

Hi Andy,
You can do this reasonably easily.
First up you need to think about how you are going to drive the TV- Your iMac could do it, but a laptop would be easier if you can access one.
Second you need to look at the screen inputs. If it is a flat screen TV it is likely to have at least a VGA connection which you should have a connector to 'out of the box' and it will work much like connecting your mac to a projector would.
If not you'll probably need a connector for your mac that outputs composite (a single RCA connector) or S-Video to connect. You'll need to do this connection and find out the resolution the display supports before the big day (I live in a country with PAL which typically is 720x576). Make the Keynote presso the same resolution and you should be all good. A test drive is essential!
Here's a typical adapter from the Apple Store

Just as a thought- you could just burn a DVD with the images- it's pretty simple to set up (with transitions) a photo library in iDVD, though a little more tricky if you need the images to appear at certain times.

I receive Facetime call and when i accept the call. Nothing happen ! I often use Facetime with this friend without problems. The same happen on my iPad...

I'm having similar issues. The iPhone4's face time works just as it always did but the iPad4 is not working. I can place a call but it won't connect, others can call and it rings but never connects. I've signed in and out of iTunes, removed and reinstalled the wifi, hard restart, and anything I can think of. It's driving me nuts!
