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

Have you updated your iphone/ipad/itunes software, depending on which source you're trying to airplay from?

Maybe like me it was the apps you chose. Give it a try with the YouTube app and see if that's what's happening. AirPlay doesn't do video from Safari or the Video Jug app nor iPlayer. It does work from iTunes and the YouTube app. Maybe other apps (VLC? AirVideo? etc) will be updated to work with AirPlay.

I used airplay video at Apple with safari.

Thank you captfred! I had same issues, didnt think of updating it, i just bought apple tv today. Thank u! I was going crazy trying to figure this out

I have updated appleTV and iPad. Set airplay to "on". Tried Safari and YouTube. Both give sound only with no information about the sound.

Have you updated your mac?

I can get AirPlay to play YouTube videos from my iPad onto my TV through AppleTV. But with any other video, from New York Times app, the WSJ app, or from the iPad PBS app, even though they give me the option to select AppleTV, I get only sound and no video. The airplay icon on the ATV screen say Unknown/Untitled. I've updated everything, ATV (just last night), my iMac (last week) and my iPad and iPhone (both yesterday afternoon). They all have the latest software updates. Still the only video I can view using AirPlay is YouTube.

And how are you supposed to view your photos using AppleTV and Airplay. It's described in the AirPlay product promotion on the Apple site, but there are no instructions on how to do it.

Are there specific sources that will and will not play through AirPlay?

I had a user assumption error. The YouTube application works fine. YouTube from Safari does not.

CapFred,

I followed your every step and now I can't stop laughing. I feel almost giddy. This is so outrageous! I am astounded by the technology. I am so in love!

A million thanks

I don't think it's supposed to work with 3rd party stuff now. you can view videos in youtube and in ipod app only i believe. http://www.macstories.net/news/airplay-notes-netflix-hulu-plus-youtube-website-a pp/
and when you are in the PBS app, WSJ app & NYT app, there is only a audio icon (speaker) right? that's why it's only streaming audio and not video.
regarding photos, select the photo (don't be in thumbnail section) and it will be in the upper right hand corner. and it's only in the Photos application, not the Camera application. If you don't see it after a few seconds, a few people just rebooted their phone and it showed up. good luck!

I have the same problem! Help !

I had the same problem until i activated the following Video QoS (Quality of Service) Feature on my WLAN Router WNDR3700 from Netgear:

Wireless Settings -> Enable Video Network

"(For 5GHz a/n network only) Select this check box if you will be streaming HD video. When this option is selected, the router uses Video reliability algorithms to reduce jitter and packet loss during video presentations. If you will not be streaming video, leave this check box unchecked."

I have tried everything you guys recommend but still not working.
Iphone 3GS, can stream music to the ATV, can stream sound from the movies in the iphone but not the video. Also, in the pictures in the "photos" app the airplay icon doesn't exist, can't stream pictures becuase the option doesn't even appear.
any more ideas?
thanks a lot

Ok, I updated my ATV again and suddenly it started working, but only for a few seconds...then a message saying "HDCP error...your HDMI connection doesn't support HDCP..." or something like that.

Now I do not know how to solve this.
Any help?
