AirPlay has stopped working from my iPad to my Apple TV. It is still working from my iPhone 4S. What has happened? What can I do to fix it? I last used AirPlay around a month ago with no problems and, as far as I know, I have not changed any settings on either device. The AppleTV is only 6 weeks old and runs 5.1.1 software.
iPad 2, iOS 6.0.1
Having read a number of threads on this subject I turned off the router and turned it back on. I had the AirPlay icon on the iPad for a few minutes but it is was missing from the iPhone. Now it is not appearing on either device.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Thank you for your suggestions, I will explore them all until I have resolved it. I appreciate you promptness and knowledge. Simon
