Yosemite still broke Apple TV mirroring

Updating Apple TV software doesn't solve the mirroring issue in iMac. Several days later, mirroring problem comes back in iMac.
Apple left a stink bug in Yosemite. I will file a bug report to Yosemite again. If anyone experience the same issue, please file a bug report in Yosemite feedback. Thanks!

My 2013 MBA is fine. But 2013 iMac can't choose mirroring.
I did another test. I have display link USB graphic adapter. If I plugin it into iMac, I can choose mirroring any of display. But once I unplug it, I can't choose mirroring any more.
This is definitely serious regression BUG.

  • Having multiple user accounts and using apple tv mirroring breaks and also compromises privacy?

    I've got a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac from Feb 2012 and the newest Apple TV 2 that I bough t a few months ago (June 2012 I think). 
    On my iMac I set up a second user account besides my primary account to allow my ladyfriend to use Apple TV mirroring to watch movies from my user account's Public folder.  It worked for a short time and then (now I wonder if this was when 10.8.1 was released) it ceased to work. 
    Here's what happens now:
    1. I log in as the TVwatching account (leaving my primary account logged in)
    2. In the TVwatching account I switch on Apple TV mirroring and the result is (on the mirrored screen, not the iMac) an alternating glitchy green screen with bits of the TVwatching account's desktop and then bits of my primary account's desktop flashing in the background
    3. I turn off mirroring
    4. I log back in as my primary account (leaving TVwatching user logged in) and turn on mirroring and the mirrored display looks just fine
    5. I turn off mirroring
    6. Log back into the TVwatching account (leaving the primary user logged in) and this time, when I turn on mirroring, it's clearly viewing my primary user's account --- HELLO PRIVACY BREACH!!! Also, no green screen and no flip-flop flashing of the two user's desktops.
    When I log out my primary user and just log into TVwatching account it works as expected but I would think I should be able to have multiple user account support since I leave my computer (and my primary account) on all the time.
    One thing I will try is the newly released 10.8.2 update (installing as I write this) and I'll see if I can still reproduce.

    I should add that I did a system restore of the Apple TV this evening too and was still able to reproduce, as well as the firmware update that was available.  As far as I can tell, the Apple TV is up to date on the latest everything.

  • If I have I wifi tv do I still need apple tv

    Do I still need apple tv if my tv is wifi

    That's up to you. The integration with iTunes (streaming local content, rentals, icloud, mirroring etc.) is something it has over other devices. If say you just want to access something like Netflix then it's harder to say as you likely already have that. Why don't you go to an apple store and check one out if you're unsure.

  • TS2090 Apple TV mirroring - sound problem. Tried everything. It's ****.

    I'm feeling totally exasperated. I've tried every 'solution' to the inherent Apple TV mirroring sound problem. Why don't Apple just fix it?? All I want to do is be able to view my computer video with sound when i want to. I don't feel that I should have to spend up to and over an hour trying repeated combinations of turning things on and off, entering code into Terminal, etc. EVERY TIME THAT I TRY TO MIRROR THROUGH APPLE TV. It's ridiculous, aside from the cost of buying the unit, I had to upload Mountain Lion despite the fact that my new (Early 2012) imac should have been on spec. That took hours and it still doesn't work. Very dissappointed, Apple have lost my brand loyalty for such an obviously fixable thing. ( I don't think that they read these comments). hope this makes you think twice before buying.  Yours, m

    I found a fix for this problem thanks to a friend of mine who I can only assume did a little research online!!
    The problem I had was having AirParrot once installed, and after the recent 10.9.2 update, the third party app messed up the way Mirroring was working..
    Here is the fix:
    1. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities.
    2. Run these commands respectively:
    sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
    sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
    sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
    sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
    This will uninstall kernel extensions related to AirParrot. Other solutions around the web being posted are missing the extensions within /Library/Extensions.
    3. Enter your administrative password when prompted.
    4. Restart your computer.
    I tried it once again and it worked like a dream!!!
    Here is the article for reference:

    Many Thanks for all who tried to help, and especially Wasim!!
    Hope this helps anyone with the same problem in the future!!

  • Apple TV mirror reverts back to iPad

    Apple TV mirror reverts back to iPad every few minutes. Is there a fix?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • TS5376 version 11.1.4 R6034 error - followed instructions, still broke

    Version 11.1.4 R6034 error - followed instructions, still broke
    What do I do after un-installing, rebooting, deleting DLLs, and re-installing 3 times and I still get the same error?
    Instructions say to uninstall all related iTunes/apple products. Why do the instructions not provide a list of related products?
    Does related products mean Bonjour too?  QTMovies.dll looks like "Quick time"  should I un-install that too?
    Maybe apple could test their code before asking everyone to upgrade to the latest version.
    Maybe the code that does the install could check for prerequsits before trashing a working version of itunes.

    Follow the instructions in this user tip. You may need to run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • My apple tv mirroring is slow.  So slow it shuts off.  Any thoughts on cause?  I use this device in my office for presentations without a problem.  In my home with a stronger wifi router, I'm having issues.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • 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.

  • Apple Promotes Mirroring to Apple TV from iPod. Why?

    I've seen plenty of answers to questions about how to mirror iPod content to Apple TV; the answers are it is not possible.  Apparently this is true (I have both devices and cannot mirror my iPod to my Apple TV either).
    Here's the rub:  Apple promotes mirroring of iPod content to Apple TV on their Apple TV page:  http://www.apple.com/appletv/airplay/
    Perhaps some Apple Corporation Guru would like to tell me how else to interpret the content of this linked page?

    I read over that web page you linked us to and I don't see any reference that would lead me to believe that iPods support AirPlay Mirroring to the Apple TV. Here's the fine print of that article.
    1. AirPlay is available on all devices running iOS 4.3 or later. Some features require the latest software. Second-generation Apple TV or later required.
    2.AirPlay Mirroring is available with iPad 2 or later; iPhone 4S; iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer) with Mountain Lion.
    3. Dual screen is available with iPad 2 or later and iPhone 4S.
    After reading that lets break it down. Number 1 is about devices that support AirPlay, it's close but not the same as AirPlay Mirroring. Number 2 outlines what devices support AirPlay Mirroring to the Apple TV and unfortunately the iPod is not on the list. Number 3 doesn't matter to the original post so we'll skip it.
    Sorry friend, I hope that helps solve the riddle.

    Hi DaVince Vince,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

  • Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
    Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
    and plays properly.
    Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
    Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
    I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
    Thanks again.

  • Apple tv mirroring stops working

    I just installed my new Bell modem SageMCom 2684 and my Apple TV mirroring stopped working properly--it freezes in less than a minute when I mirror a MacBook Pro.  My TV, Apple TV, & Bell modem are relatively close. I disabled  WMM, but no luck. I connected my old router to the modem & connected the Mac & aTV to the same wireless network, but the performace remained bad.  I updated aTV's software, but no luck.  Is this really a a Wi-Fi network problem, or an issue with Apple devices???  Thanks.
