After reading several days day so many different threads - all of them whining and complaining - and I was for the first time really sad - about Apple are perhaps changing a winning horse.
The Apple eco environment with Airplay at the top - all works perfect together - now Apple is playing russian roulette... it will be unforgivable and stupid on a large scale.
We are buying now special speakers in all rooms in our Institute and at home, based on Airplay. Our Trainers using exclusive iPad combined with projector - to show short films and play some music when needed. All this whiped out overnight? The whole musicindustry is turning towards iPhone and iPad and a new 8 pin connector already gives shockwaves through the industry and the users. But a little adaptor did solve this issue.
My problem today get solved by reading a suggetion:
"Make sure both the computer and iPad are on the same wireless network"
Of corse I'm on the same network... But my iPad was actually not. Checking this for first time since buying the device, did show surprisingly another network.
I did not imaging, this could be the cause. Obvious, after updating to iOS 6, the iPad was jumping to my Guest-network and out of reach for Airplay. I was still on Internet and everything was working as usual. iPhone the same thing. After changing back to my closed network, the icons appear nicely again.
It realy did save my day. And thank you Apple not letting us down. The Android Fanboys begann rubbing their hands... gloatingly... But it works perfect guys! Just a little confusion...😕
Cheers
