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

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.

I think/hope I may have discovered the answer everyone are looking for. The reason I wanted AppleTV was to view what was on my iPad on my TV. I went to the Apple Store 2 times regarding Apple TV and have come to the conclusion that no one in the store is familiar with the product and I find myself explaining to them how it works. They give you their interpretation to the basic information they have been giving by Apple.

I have not tried this yet as I am at work and will try tonight. The Term you should search is Mirror rather than AirPlay. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4085 This will tell you how to turn on Mirroring Option in the AirPlay function. This should send the screen of the iPad 2 or iPhone 4/4S to the TV. I am not sure about the sound but I am hoping the Videos will now be visible. I hope this work and therefore, fixes all our issues.

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.

Sorry bout that. I thought you meant ATV

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!

Try restarting the ipad...worked for me...

Thanks, this worked.

Using the free "Remote" app from App Store restores picture.

I have Imac 2012, and i use Airplay a lot.

But i think after OS X Yosemite, i can no longer choose "Mirroring", i can't change any settings anymore, i only get sound and black screen on tv now.?!

Super angry, as i use my Imac to show things on TV... What happened.!!!???

I have exactly the same issue. Is really annoying. Have found any solution yet?

I am awaiting a solution too 😟

perfect clear thank you
