AirPlay to Apple TV only sound and no picture to airplay option

I have the exact same issue. I shall update all software again and see if this fixes things but it is quite frustrating. I also can't connect to my iMac now, which previously wasn't as issue. Not sure if the problems started when I got iPad2 or that's just coincidence.

Hello there;

I am having the same issues. I've tried every single fix posted and I can't play any rented movie anymore. The interesting thing for me is that it worked when I first bought the Apple TV. This is the only Apple product that is given me the blues... From the raw number of postings it is a problem for quite a few people. They need to fix this!!

i have just got apple tv and cannot get iplayer to run on tv screen only the sound comes through from my ipad 1 also cannot get mirroring to work either any ideas would be welcome ios 5 installed on ipad but itunes wont backup any of my devices have had to restore ipad manually to get ios 5 installed i dont want to risk my iphone 4 in case i loose all info and pictures

My iPhone 3G started acting this way (no video, only sound) when streaming video to my Apple TV2 a few months ago. Updates and reboots have not helped, and I will not update the iPhone to iOS5 becuase it will slow my phone down to an unusable crawl. Apple - please fix this issue ASAP, I can't watch video!

I have been reading all the posts and maybe I missed something but I have this problem also. I first noticed the issue with HBOgo and MAXgo. I assumed it was a function turned off by HBO. Disappointed but OK, I understand so forgot about it for a while then.....

I have DirecTV and was hoping to use Apple TV for on Demand TV shows through the websites or Apps. I use my iPad and watch different videos in any of several apps Facebook, TV.COM, NBC, ABC, Google, Safari Initially I assumed video to AppleTV was not supported.

One night when my son was watching netflix through Apple TV, I clicked on TV.COM App on my iPad and the video started playing on the Apple TV instead of Netflix. I though great, I can watch on demand TV shows through this APP. Unfortunately since my iPad is Set to close the screen after 2 minutes of inactivity. the screen went blank. When I started the video back up, I was only getting sound for the show I was watching. I could not get it to play video again no matter what I did Just playing around, I have successfully played videos from all of these apps on the tv with airplay BUT I can not get them to play on a consistent basis. I have tried to rewatch the same videos that worked once and cannot get video.

I have tried changing every setting I thought could possibly affect this but I have not figured out a pattern. Please help this frustrated Apple TV user!

I have updated my iPad and Apple TV to the latest OS.

There is a free app called Remote. Get it from the app store. After its installed, you can either use it as a remote control for atv - but you can also access your shared library thru it. It's obvious how to do that when you see it ... It's basically the same as the COMPUTERS link on the atv. If you play any movies or music or anythingusing that shared library, you will get full audio and video from atv.

The Apple Remote app allows you to control iTunes on the computer.

It does not display the shared library on the iPad.

It does on my iPad. When I open the Remote app, in the left pane, there are two options: AppleTV and "Isaac ....'s Library" If i select "Isaac ......'s Library" it displays exactly what is on iTunes on my mac, all categories (music, movie, even my playlists). If I select a movie, a song, a playlist, etc. it automatically plays thru AppleTV perfectly.

If you select AppleTV from the pane, it acts as a remote control for ATV.

You can view the library but you cannot play the shared library and view a movie on the iPad screen using the Remote app. That is what I meant.

Selecting the Shared library in the Remote app controls the computer just as selecting the AppleTV control the AppleTV.

Hi I read your post and had a question. You said to go into the appletv and at at the top of the menu scroll to the itunes icon. What menu is this as I can't find the itunes menu. When I use the photo's or movies on my ipad I get the video and sound but when I use apps that did work with airplay a few weeks ago, now I only get the sound. I would sure appreciate any help you can give.

Thank you.

Not sure if this has been answered but i just recently had a problem that i could not see exactly what i saw on my iphone on my screen (as i thought apple tv would be able to do) .. To be able to do this.. Double tap the home button and slide to the left PAST the music tab and u will see a whole new airplay feature.. Turm mirroring on and your iphone screen will pop up on the tv

Hope this helps!
