AirPlay with AirServer connectivity problem

To all the "me too" posters - your posts here do not help. I realized Airserver was directing people here to "report" the problem but this is not the place to do so since this is a peer supported community. Airserver is now directing people to the appropriate place to directly report the problem to Apple.

Please leave Apple feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Hi all,

Please note that this also happens with Apple TV. (like already said in this thread)

It is clearly a iPad/ios7 problem.

To get things FIXED please use Apple Bug Reporter.

my 4s wont pick it up off my Early 2011 MBP 13inch (Mavericks).. Normally when AirServer is opened, the mac will see it as well, but that doesnt come up :/ FIX

Also having same problem with my iPad2 and Airserver since the iOs7 update.

Please fix this soon!!!

This is crazy. After finally getting everyone updated to 7.0.3 to fix all of the supervision problems we now have this. I have teachers and students presenting to the board tonight and thought we were good to go. Installed an Apple TV on Friday as a backup to Airserver as I wanted all to go well tonight. Tested with my iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.3 and all went well. Teachers came for a dry run this afternoon with their iPad 4s and iOS 7.0.3 and seen all of the issues posted here, won't connect, blank screen, iPad not responsive. On both Airserver and Apple TV. We have not committed to iPads for our one to one and this is not going to look good. I cannot believe that this has been an issue since 7.0 and is not fixed yet. Yes, restarting the iPads gets them working for a little while.

I am still having this problem, and I've noticed that it also happens when you connect to a VGA projector or external monitor using the lightning-to-VGA adaptor. I've documented my problems here:

Please spread the word and hopefully Apple will fix this problem soon. I realize, of course, that Apple doesn't read these forums. I've submitted my issue through their official bug report system.

Maybe this will help folks...

I had some problems with dropouts between my iPad Air and my Apple TV. After playing around with settings I was able to "fix" the issue. Well.... with "but".... You see, when mirroring the device I got a drop out with my Apple TV so sliding your main preferences on the iPad up and choose your destination there didn't worked for me....

What did work for me howevr was syncing my Plex on my iPad Air with Apple TV without any dropouts.

So

1. don't use mirroring from the main preferences when sliding this menu up from bottum to halfway the iPad screen. Make sure the mirroring on your iPad source is set to display everything on your iPad.

2. now when you like to present a youtube movie or something from plex on your iPad tv then sync it using the connect button within those programs themselves. So don't use the main syncing option but those within the program's themselves.

This might not solve the issue itself, that's for Apple to fix, but it did helped me out watching anything I wanted using my iPad Air with my Apple TV. For those using these hardware this might help, it helped me anyway ^^

Cheers (sorry for my crappy Englih, I'm Dutch and not that familliar with English ^^

I used AirServer at my school until this drop issues started. My question: is a iOS fault or this third party software? Anyone having same problems with Reflector (another third party software)?

That was answered on the first or second page as well as in many other threads. It's an iOS issue.

Thanks for this. Changing that preference (enable IPv6) took me from a frozen snapshot that never changed to a mirrored image that changes.

I've still got an 8 second lag, but this is better at least...

EDIT: actually, once the iPad goes to sleep, the mirrored display remains frozen again.

iOS 7.0.4 appears to have fixed most of the issues we have had.

I had iOS 7.0.4 and Mavericks installed, but was still experiencing the old issues.

A hard reset of the iPad (hold home and sleep buttons until the iPad reboots) and a restart of my MacBook Pro (Apple menu > Restart...) did the trick.

AirServer is now mirroring my iPad screen normally.

Recent updates seem to have solved my problem - Apple TV Airplay video streaming from all of my iPad apps is much more stable following the 7.03 and 7.04 iOS updates

Dear Apple,

Please fix this issue COMPLETELY so that AirServer works as it should.

Same problem at oure school.
Using iPad 3rd generation with Apple-TV - Reflector or Airserver.

Very slow to use Airplay after a couple of times.

Only way to 'recover' is to reset the iPad.

Update to iOS 7.04 didn't help.

Left a message to Apple. I hope they fix this in next iOS update.
