Why do I only see Bonjour services on my iOS devices?

Hi all,
I have a strange issue where only my iOS devices (iPhone 5 and iPad Mini, both on iOS7) can see any Bonjour services, while OS X computers don't see anything. All the devices are in a WiFi network that's hosted by a Cisco AP1142N. This manifests itself in the fact that I can only stream to my AppleTV when I use an iOS device, AirPlay doesn't work at all on the laptops.
Bonjour Browser on the iPhone reveals a plethora of available services, amongst those also _airplay._tcp (where my AppleTV is listed), whereas Bonjour Browser on OS X just shows the services running on the device itself.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Many thanks and best regards

I'd encourage asking for assistance in a Cisco-related forum, as you're much more likely to get better information on Cisco gear elsewhere than you will here. (No, I'm not willing to absolve the Cisco device here. Not yet.)
I completely agree, but on the Cisco support forums there are are many different (sometimes contradictory) purported solutions to that problem. Some people state that disabling the IGMP snooper helps with Bonjour, others are adamant that you have to enable it. There's even one post which implicates that version 15 of Cisco's IOS has completely broken Bonjour. I tried most of those "solutions", but did not succeed.
That's why I now want to focus on the difference between the iOS mDNS stack and the one of OS X to see if I get a new angle at the problem — seeing that one works while the other doesn't. I think I won't get around capturing some pakets on the wire...

Right now there's only about 130 active leases — but this way, I have room to grow

HT3529 why do I only see my group text on my iPad on iMessage?

Why do i only see my group text on my iPad on iMessage. I do not see any of my other messages

You will only receive messages from other users using an Apple product with iMessage. The cell phone carriers service from your cell network and other messging sources have no way of making it to your iPad. iMessage is stricky for Apple.

Why do I only see grayscale values when I add color from color picker? This happens occasionally, but I don't know what triggers it.

We can't know. You have not provided any system information, not told us what version of AE, details about your artwork, color management and whatnot.

Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder?

Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder? The latter is not available either under Favourites or Menu>Go>...
After a clean install of Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro, I chose not to upgrade from iCloud to iCloud Drive because it would break syncing with my iPhone 4. My docs are still visible in iCloud, according to System Preferences. I can access them on my iPad but I not from my MacBook Pro. Calendars and Contacts sync ok.
I tried logging out of iCloud, rebooting and logging back in, but that did not remedy the problem.
What's gone wrong?

Just so I'm clear. You have enabled iCloud Drive in your iCloud preferences:
Now, in your Finder's sidebar you still do not see the iCloud Drive showing. In the Finder's preferences is it checked:

sonnay, are you also in South Africa like the original poster whose message you tacked onto?
A lot of countries only have app store, no music or video stores. Because of copyright laws that are different between every nation. Stupid, that the laws are different, but that's the way it is.

Why can I only see 1 video at a time on my touch 4g?

Why can I only see 1 video at a time on my iTouch 4g? I have 3 in my iTunes library, but when I download a new one, the earlier one disappears from my touch when I sync.

It was most likely filled-in and saved with the Preview application on the Mac. For more information on why this is happening, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

I've seen the opposite issue. My wife recieved an email with jpg attachments. She couldn't see or print them on her iPhone 4S but they showed up fine in iCloud or in the mail app. I had her forward the email to herself and then they showed up. I assume there is an issue with how Apple is processing the attachments and resending causes them to get reformatted in a way that makes them easier to handle.
So yeah. Seems like some bugs. Hope Apple fixes them soon.

Can't see bonjour services from VPN access

Hi,
i've got several Macs and devices on my local network at sub-network 192.128.1.x (router at 192.168.1.1).
With my Macbook air for instance, Finder automatically find all my devices (macs, router, windows PC, NAS...) and they are in left folder of the Finder View.
When i'm out of my home, i connect my Macbook to my home network through an VPN server (PPTP). The mapping of this VPN is 192.168.2.x.
I can mount my remote devices through manual commande (Alt K in finder - connect to...) which are in the 192.168.1.x subnet.
But the Finder can't see them automatically,
is there a way to setup Bonjour Services, or subnets, or FInder automatic browsing, to find all my devices like if i were at home ?
Thanks for any advice

So you are use an separate account(not admin) on this mac
Bonjour usually picks up the name of the computer in sys prefs/sharing.
Edit: just checked and its getting it from the address book, so the MEcard is yours.

Why can i only see my music when connected to wifi

i started to use icloud when i got the new iphone and new ipad. but i can only see my music when i'm connected to wifi or 4g. what can i do to use the music when no service is available.

Under the music tab in your settings you will need to turn on cellular data, with itunes match if your not connected to the internet either through celleluar data or wi-fi it will not play the music because it is streaming from icloud. The only other way to have your music play with out connection is to actually sync them to your phone. See attached.

Why can I only see podcasts and no music in the iTunes app on my iPod touch 4g?

I have seen videos on YouTube where in some step they open iTunes on an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad and I can always see that there are no podcasts just music but in my case I can only see podcasts

iTunes Match is a paid-for service where (I think) you can get up to 25GB of non-iTunes purchases uploaded to iCloud from your computer (your iTunes purchases are already in the cloud, and don't count against your Match account). When you turn on Match on your computer and iOS devices, your iTunes library is replicated in iCloud and pushed down to your device.
I'm paraphrasing a lot, and probably missed some facts, but I'm not an iTunes Match user -- it's not my cup of tea. I was just pointing out that if you have songs in your library that you didn't buy from iTunes, the only way to download them outside of iTunes is to use Match (unless there's a functional alternative to iTunes that supports iOS devices, don't think so though).
I know what you mean about the long "Waiting for items to copy ..." issue, seems to have gotten worse with iOS 7.1 and/or most recent iTunes update. I just let my iPhone do its thing, sometimes it takes an hour before it decides to load 20-30 songs onto my iPhone. I restored my iPhone over the weekend and it seems to have gotten a little better, but still frustrating ... I just have to remember to not re-sync if I'm planning on going anywhere soon.

Why can I only see my Camera Roll when uploading photos?

Trying to upload pictures to Facebook but when I click the camera I can only see the camera roll, can't see any of my albums.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you go to system preferences and then displays you'll get all the options for adjusting what you are asking for. I also use a TV for the same purpose you are describing. I find it works best to leave it in the manner you are describing. Mirroring just duplicates everything unless of course that is the effect you are going for. You can also adjust the positioning of the monitors in the relation to each other weather you want one on the left or right or which one to be the main and secondary. Then all you will need to do is swipe the media player onto the other monitor and then your main monitor will be free to use while you watch your videos on the other. Essentially, your desktop area will span your computer monitor and the TV screen you can also change the desktop image on both screens to different images they don't need to be the same. I watch a lot of TV shows I have in itunes. This way I can watch TV and still use my computers main monitor for the internet or whatever.

Why am I only seeing 3 choices on my netflix ?

Hello Jmun6
Check out the quoted section below if you are not getting iMessages to sync across all your devices. Just check to make sure that you have all the email address and phone number you want to receive them from as well as maybe signing in and out of iMessage on both devices.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
