With airplay on, how to keep ipad from going to sleep? Same with my iPhone, with airplay steaming to my Apple TV, the phone or ipad will go to sleep. Settings?
Advice welcome.
Thank you for your time, Eric
When the iPad is in sleep mode, it is non functional and it must be awake in order for AirPlay to continue to stream content. The only way to ensure that the iPad does not go to sleep is to set the AutoLock to Never. There is no other setting to use.
Yes, that is happening because of the app. Not all apps behave this way. For example, if you use the youTube app with AirPlay the screen will turn off but AirPlay continues. If you use the Netflix app the screen will not turn off and, of course, AirPlay continues.
The best course with the NCAA app would appear to be to supply power to the iPad and set Autolock to never. Turn the iPad screen intensity down.
Currently, the airplay stops while streaming. I have to restart the player and then watch the 15 sec ad again, then I can resume until it sleeps again.
Ok Jim, I am streaming the NCAA app from my ipad to the Apple TV. It is not plugged in and auto lock is on. The airplay will stop. I am trying to continue the streaming even if the ipad sleeps. Could it be app, not airplay?
Ok, with auto lock on, airplay stops while app running. When auto lock is set to never, airplay continues. Can airplay or the app be set to run in the back ground so that you may close the screen.
If airplay does not turn off when screen closes, then the app does? If so, how do you keep the app running in the back ground?
I use Airplay at work through my iPad sometimes to display the Timer; Airplay stops as soon as my iPad sleeps. I am currently using Autolock Never to continue streaming. I am not aware of another way to keep streaming; I would rather my iPad be sleeping to preserve some battery. Have you found a way?
hi I was having the same problem as everybody else but seem to have found a work around when streaming to Apple TV 3. When you stream what ever and it comes up saying playing on Apple TV press the 2 arrows pointing at each other in the bottom right corner it will pause the movie then press play on your Apple TV remote it will start playing again on a smaller screen press the home button stay on home for about 10 seconds then lock your iPhone bit a pain to have to go through this route but better than keeping your phone on all of the time hope this works for everyone
After I installed iOS 9 that's when my AirPlay started to turn off after 2 minutes, prior to this update I never had this problem. Whatever I was playing would continue to play after my iPad mini went to sleep. So I don't like the fact that I have to set my sleep mode to never is kind of stupid. I know these posts are old but I'm just trying to find out if there is something else I can do or set.
I Had this problem aswell but when I did abit of messing about I figured out how to do it without (auto lock being turned to never) when your stream starts playing on the Apple TV press the home button and you can lock your iphone/iPad from the home screen it works perfect now I am using an iPhone 5s and tested it on my wife's iPhone 6 and been tested on our iPad mini 3 and all works hope this will help everyone
Well no, I would rather not set it to never auto lock. I just want to be able to keep airplay going even if the auto lock is left at 10 min. I just do not want the airplay to stop.
I have read of the auto lock timer to be set to never, I do not like that alternative. Is this the only way?
You are asking how to make it never autolock so yes, setting autolock to "Never" is the way to do that.
Settings>General>Autolock>Never.
Ok, that is what I thought. Thank you two
Have you tried connecting your iPad to power while you are using Airplay?
AirPlay does not stop when the iPad turns the screen off.
You might want to clarify exactly what you are doing.
