I've got an ATV2, iPad 2 ,iPhone 3G & 4S and a MacBook. On any devices Works the latest Software Version.
Since iOS 5 AirPlay don't Start Play Music from any device. The ATV starts but there is no Sound. I Must Chance from AirPlay to the device and back again to AirPlay then it Works!
Befor iOS 5 it work correct
Can Anyone help me?
AppleTV 2, iOS 5.0.1
I'm having the same problem. ATV2 never receives the Airplay from iTunes the first time. If I close iTunes, then reopen it and hit play it works right away, but never the first time. It used to work fine, so maybe it is the OS update.
I'm having same problem too.
When I try to connect to apple TV 2G from iPod touch or iTunes on my laptop,
apple TV won't output any music at first attempt.
I have to switch speakers back to iPod touch or laptop speaker and
switch back to apple TV 2G again to make it work.
I phone called apple support about this issue.
They said that they will call me back.
But they never called me back and it was almost 3 months ago.
They are ******* me off.
I isolated this problem to my router. In this case a Time Capsule. I got a new router and had the time capsule host the network rather than host it.
I have the same problem but I found that if you wake the Apple TV prior to streaming music it starts playing music. I use the menu key on the remote to wake the Apple TV and that works for my setup.
Hope this works for you.
Yes, that works beautifully. I can't believe I didn't think of trying that. Thanks!
I had this problem too. This is now fixed by the latest software update, version 5.0 out today.
AirPlay starts only After Second attempt
