Q: I have a MacBook Pro running Mavericks OS 10.9.2 and discovered that my airplay mirroing feature to my AppleTV (version 6.1) is not working. Is there any fix for it? I have been waiting for 4 months for a patch to come out. Any ideas?

Any ideas on a patch or fix for the Airplay mirroing feature to AppleTV? Home sharing to AppleTV is also broken after I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    What is the issue with mirroring and home sharing?

     

    Both are working fine on my system

    I do not get the Airplay icon on my Macbook's menu bar. I have checked the box in the Display settings to show mirroring options but still no icon. Airplay Display shows 'No device Detected'. Both AppleTV and MacBook Pro are on the same physical Network (192.168.1.0/24) and connected directly to my home ethernet switch (not wirelessly). I also made sure MacBook's Firewall is disable. Airplay feature use to work before upgrade to 10.9.2. As far as Home sharing from my AppleTV has a similar issue; it just does not find my MacBook after a while of loading and searching my music library. I am logged in to icloud on both devices (appletv and macbook). Also use to work before upgrade. Any ideas or recommendations. Thanks.

    Try disabling IPV6 in OSX.

    Did disable IPv6 for my ethernet and also WiFi interfaces but still no Airplay icon or device discovered.

    $ networksetup -setv6off Ethernet

    $ networksetup -setv6off WiFi

     

    Good idea, though!

    Solved it!! Found out finally what was preventing my airplay and computer sharing with my Apple TV. It turns out that I was using a non RFC1918 IP address for my Home Network. As soon as I changed my Home Network IP scheme to 192.168.0.0/24 (an RFC1918) address, everything about my airplay and computer sharing started to work like a charm. I which apple had this documented somewhere and it didn't take me 5 months to figure it out on my own. Good luck.

    I just encountered AirPlay not working from my Air 10.9.3 to my Apple TV. Works fine from my iPhone(7.1.1).

     

    All had been working fine until recently I decided to be more pro-active in securing my data; I had turned on the System firewall and encrypted my HD.

     

    After an afternoon of testing I found that turning OFF the firewall re-enabled AirPlay streaming.

     

    Apple should add some kind of check-box on the Security tab for this. FYI.
