Why wont apple tv mirror any apps on my ipad 3?, why wont apple tv mirror any apps on my ipad 3?

I was sold Apple TV on the premise that I could play games on my ipad3 and see it on my tv. However, all I get is audio! What's the deal? I feel ripped off!!!

I was trying to understand if he was using AirPlay feature from his games rather than activating the mirroring.
Brian is rigth that specific apps could prevent you to use mirroring.  I often see this with TV streaming apps.  When you got this limitation related to an app, you will see the AirPlay icon as an speaker instead of a TV box.

    It was fine until i updated to iOS 5

    Have you tried:
    1. Resetting your iPad; hold down the Sleep and Home button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Turn OFF your router for 30 seconds and ON again.

    On your iPhone tap Settings > Store
    Toggle Apps off then back on then restart your iPhone.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    You should remove his AppleID and restore it as new.

  • Why wont apple let me download apps without a credit card?

    Why wont apple let me get an apple ID without a "no credit card" suggestion in the payment method?
    I dont buy my apps and I dont understand why my sister (and other people) were able to make an apple ID without putting a credit card.
    Though I can enter my apple ID account when it comes to the game center, when I try to download an app that problem always appears. So now I'm using my sister's ID, but I really want to have my own. 

    Follow it through to the payment methods and choose None if it is available.

  • I have bought ipads for my kids, so far i can only let them use my apple id and this means that any apps they download sync to my apple id, the problem is that one game they want to play wont allow them to have seperate profiles?? can anyone help?

    i have an ipad mini, i have bought them for my kids too.
    how can i get them seperate profiles so they can use  or play their own apps and not sync with my account.
    i have tried to create seperate apple ids but this wont let me due to their ages.
    i have turned on and off home sgaring but this made no change.
    any ideas??

    Apple has a reptutaion of maintaining a high level of privacy and security. This means that accounts are not meant to be shared, though they can be, and defintitely not merged.
    That does not come without a price however.
    I completely understand that the kids would want their own profiles when playing games, but app developers are required to follow apple's protocols in order to distribute their apps via apples app store and be used on their products.
    I'm going to go out on limb here and say the apple has chosen to put the job of parenting in the hands of parents.
    What I do know is that as the kids get older and everybody gets their own devices and accounts, it will be a lot easier and lot less confusing when everyone has their own apple id. (especially when they start having their own contacts, calendar events and everyone in the home is syncing to icloud)

  • HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Here are the steps for AirPlay:
    Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
    On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home  Button to view your recently-used apps.
    Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the  icon.
    Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
    Tap the  icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
    Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
    Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
    Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
    When you do that you will see an Orange screen
    Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

  • My iMac wont boot up properly. Stops at background pic, no dock, only little apple show up top and cursor sticks on little spinning wheel. Have to shut down manually in back and reboot to get it to work. Any ideas why this sometimes happens?

    I'm running OSX 10.9.1 (13B42)
    My problem is that occasionally my Mac wont boot properly. It gets to the background picture where the dock should open but it freezes there. The little apple shows up top left but nothing else and the cursor shows as the little spinning wheel that wont do anything. I can't click on the apple to restart, I have to switch off in back and then start up again. It usally boots all the way after that but I'm worried there's something up since this seems to be happeneing more frequently. Also I'm worried that having to manually shut down like that will somehow damage the software in time?
    I tried a disk verify but there were no repairs needed. I repaired disk permissions too just in case but it still seems to happen every once in a while.
    I've noticed recently that it happens the next reboot after I've been streaming movies online if that helps. Is there any reason for this and anything i can do to stop it in the future?

    Thanks Paul, just ran the etrecheck you recommended and got this:
