Q: Imac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 - audio no video from airplay.

Just purchased my second apple tv for my office (3rd gen) which is next to my living room apple tv (2nd Gen).  Throwing this tidbit in case it's relevant.

 

Mirror and airplay work seamlessly from iPhone on both units.  When attempting to connect to iMac I get a

 

1.  Black Screen

2.  Audio streams

3.  No Video

 

I restored the most recent ATV.  The living room ATV does the same exact thing.  Black Screen/Audio/No Video.  Fully functional on iPhone.

 

My living room apple tv has worked in the past with streaming.

 

 

I have a 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wi-fi network.  Both ATV's and the iMac are on 5ghz.

 

I've tried the following:

 

1.  Power cycle

2.  Restore ATV

3.  Restart computer

4.  Power cycle router

5.  Switching devices from 5ghz to 2.4ghz

    Hi. When iOS 9 was released in September 2015, some security changes were made to video AirPlay. Your OS X version 10.10.5 came out in August. It may no longer be capable of video AirPlay. Although it should work with ATV 2 since it hasn't been updated in quite a while.
