Still can't get airplay to work!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrr. Still can't get airplay to work with either my iPad or my iPhone to my atv2. Everything has the latest firmware, including my airport extreme. Airplay is turned on in options on the atv2.

Everything is on the same network. I even switched networks but still nothing.

I do not see the blue icon that let's me stream to the tv.

What the heck am I doing wrong?

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Hi,

Your profile indicates you are running v10.5.7. If that's the case, you need to update your system software to v10.5.8 which is the minimum requirement for the iPad.

Click the Apple () menu then click: Software Update...

And make sure Bluetooth is not enabled on either the iPad or the iPhone. Tapping Settings / General / Bluetooth.

It would help if you updated your profile.

See the this troubleshooting article, very last item.

I just tried with Bluetooth off on both the iPad and iPhone and nothing. Even tried rebooting the iPad, iPhone and the atv2.

I have NEVER been able to get this to work and am quite frustrated.

Your right of course. I have updated my profile. Thank you for pointing that out.

The only thing I haven't done is turn off the atv2 firewall. How do I do this?
