Airplay mirroring broke in 10.9.2

Have you even read through this thread at all?

🙂 ı think he's reading (me and me)

I loved all the help you have been offering, MikeT3Com. I have been chasing this issue since December and have tried to isolate the cause (in my case).

- I removed AirParrot (which wasn't added until AFTER the problem occurred), Air Display, DisplayPad and Wyse PocketCloud. (To uninstall, I made every attempt to use uninstallers as a first option, CleanApp as plan B and the Terminal if I had to.)

- I tried using a clean admin user account (still will not work), restarted about 50 times and moved everything but com.apple LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons: still will not mirror.

- I tried to reinstall the OS: still will not work

I am sure there is a 3rd party extension somewhere causing this but I am at a loss as to the next step. Clean install? YUCK!

I tried AirParrot on my system late last year before buying it for my wife's older Macbook. Without an uninstaller, dragging the app to the trash didn't clean the klingons. As noted by others; APExtFramebuffer.kext in /system/library/Extensions was my daemon. (Bad pun?) I had thought to remove it using sudo in the terminal but it was still in the folder. A manual "drag and drop" into the trash and reboot seems to have fixed the issue here.

Now to re-authorize all my apps on the AppleTV. <grrr> This has been a real pain.

I reported it to AirSquirrels. I'm sure they didn't think people would use AirParrot on systems capable of Airplay Display but, as this thread shows, there are a few of us out here.

I also had no picture through AirPlay after latest update. Uninstalled Air Display app. Airplay mirroring works fine now.

I don't use AirParrot but uninstalling “Air Display” solved my issue.

These are my Extensions inside /Library/Extensions.

Airplay is not working for me, can you help me?

Angelele,

Q1-Did you create a new admin user and see if your Airplay would work from there?

Q2-This looks to be your /Library/Extension folder. If the new user created in Q1 cannot use Airplay, look for /System/Library/Extensions (different location) and upload a listing of those extension. My problem was with APExtFramebuffer.kext

I tried with a guest account and it did not work, is that enough or should I creat a new administrator account? if then, can I erase that account easily when I finish the test?

Skip to Q2 and look for the /System/Library/Extension folder. I should ask; is it Airplay Display what is failing or just all Airplay related features?

Yeah! It started to work...sincerely I do not why. The last thing I did was start the iSight Camera with PhotoBoth. AirParrot support told me that the issues on 10.9.2 were involving to the camera too, i just turned on to verify mine was working. Then I started Airplay mirroring and...it is solved :S

Sweet! Science Fiction DOES happen.

Removing AirDisplay fixed it for me. I had air parrot also but it still didn't work after the airparrot uninstall. Removing airdisplay also got it working again for me. I hadn't used it in years and Migration assitant must have brough it over to the iMac.

I am using iMac 27" purchased in March 2013 and cannot use AppleTV mirroring since the 10.9.2 update. I am experiencing the same symptoms as other users.

I never used AirParrot. I checked the Extensions folder and cannot find the extensions file "APExtFramebuffer" mentioned by other users in this forum.

My iPhone mirroring to Apple TV works fine.

I have ensured the AppleTV has the latest update. I have also restored to factory settings and tried. Doesn't work.

I think it is certainly an issue with the 10.9.2 update on my iMac.

From my experience you need to uninstall either AirParrot or Air Display from Avatron.

There might be other apps that also cause this issue. In all cases they're related to some screen extending/mirroring options. So look out for apps in this category.
