AirPlay Mirroring works with my iPad2, Macbook Air mid-2011 on my HDTV via my new 3rd Generation AppleTV, but not with my iPhone4 (iOS 5.1.1). The AirPlay icon appears but only streams music, no mirroring. Ideas, anyone? Thanks.
When only sounds goes out, it is often related to the apps itself blocking the video. A few TV apps are trying to prevent you from watching the content on the big screen.
Pay attention to see if the AirPlay icon show a little speaker in it instead of the display. Try the mirroring with another app running to verify if it is indeed app related.
AirPlay Mirroring only works with iPhone 4S. See the following link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5209
Hi
Will I ever be able to use my iPhone 4. To mirror screen onto my Apple TV?
Hi Shahface,
If you phone doesn't meet the requirement today, I don't think it will ever in the future. It's the opposite way; older devices will support less and less of new release options as the usually require more powerfull hardware.
At some point in time, you will have to upgrade your device in order to get the mirroring function.
