Connection on Airplay keeps dropping, suspect caused by IOS 7

Same here with iPhone 4 iOS 7.0.3. Even bumpy when switching Auto-Lock to "never". Would be glad to know when it's fixed.

Strange, because with deezer app airplay works good. Probably because it is also streaming meanwhile, so the connection is kept alive.

Having the same issue. Airplay connection drops with content streamed from iPhone music app. However it works fine with pandora or other music sources. This is not a network issue, but does seem to depend on the app serving as the source of the content.

Can confirm also happening with iphone 5 on iOS 7.0.4 and ATV2 on OS 5.4. Nothing is jail broken. ATV is connected via LAN and no previous issues with identical setup other than the last ios 6 release.

Same issue here, it is not the network! There is obviously something wrong with IOS as my iMac has no issues. Any support on here from Apple!?!

Same problem here... it's connected to a 1000 Mbps port and the connection still drops every 10 seconds! 😠

No support from Apple so far, good bye ATV.

Bought a Roku 3 a couple minutes ago...

I think I have sorted this out! Most routers have a smart setup or smart wifi. This changes the channel to the cleanest channel. Turn it off and give it a permanent channel number. This has stabilised my signal and at present has stopped it dropping out! Fingers crossed!!!

I am using a wired-connection... no luck so far.

Both your Apple TV and the device your airplaying from? Sorry if I'm a bit thick!!!!

I'm not sure if that last reply was clear, I take it your Apple TV is wired but are the devices your trying to airplay from?

I am having the same problem using iOS 7 and Apple TV using AirPlay.

I am using a iPhone 5S and an iPad 4. They both drop off of AirPlay are random.

If I reboot the iPhons 5S or iPad 4, then I can get back onto AirPlay for a short period before it drops.

I am using this in a classroom setting and AirPlay and Apple TV is totally useless.

When using iOS 6, we never had any problems with AirPlay dropping.

I don't understand why Apple hasn't fixed this #$@* problem.

The only way to teach classes on the iPhone & iPad are to hardwire them into an HDMI port of the computer/projector. This is taking us back about 5-10 years before we had wi-fi.

Please fix this problem

Chap

stop being so arrogant.
my network is fine. it better be, i control every last aspect of it,
however, we get regular loss of conenction every 7 minutes

slimming down to an AE, and ATV and an ipad. rock solid wpa2 connection to the ipad, wired everywhere else. still get loss of connection.

so. if it is, as you claim, the 'network'. what exactly is it that could cause this? nothing else experiences errors. a download cna download for 8 hours without a hitch, so the connection is up all that time.

I can only tell you what worked for me, your problem maybe different. However, all new routers have something called smart wifi, my connections on all devices were fine with this switched on until I came to use airplay to my TV from any non wired device.

By switching this off and giving 2.4 and 5 ghz a dedicated channel number it stopped my issue.

Smart wifi automatically keeps changing channel numbers to the one with the least interference on it which could interrupt the streaming for a millisecond and stop airplay.

i'm using fixed channels. and i still get dropout. next test will be to have everything wired in and see if i get dropouts still. i am expecting that i will, since this seems to be an ios issue.

I'm also having this problem. It seemed to have started after I allowed the Apple TV to update. Now I disconnect after a few minutes of audio playing, or airplay video playing.

Both the computer and appletv are up to date.

The apple TV is hard-wired to a GbE port. The laptop is a new Mavericks MBA on a 5GHz AC router. Zero interference because I live in the country.) It is the only device I used on 5GHz band. I use 2.4Ghz for my phones and all over devices in the home.

I'm happy to troubleshoot. I'm ordering a USB->GBe adaptor for the MBA to confirm it isn't wifi related. The new MBA's on Mavericks are confirmed to have an issue with wireless where packets can become very latent due potentially due to power saving mode being set in the driver. I have disabled this powersaving mode by running 5 pings a second to a site so I have sub 2ms latency to my router.

I've already escalated the wifi issue up the chain at Apple so if the ethernet solves the problem, I will add that to the wifi issues of the MBA. If it doesn't, I will start an issue with Apple over the ATV.
