Airplay peer-to-peer

Is there anyway to DISABLE peer-to-peer airplay? I live in a group of small apartments and now some of my neighbours Apple TV's are showing up in my airplay device list. It is driving me crazy. Everything was so perfect, why did they have to go and force such a useless feature. At least give us the ability to hide peer-to-peer devices. Frustrated.

I feel that this is so random, by now there is already couple of threads with people giving different solutions but non seems to work with my Apple TV, that's why I booked appointment with genius bar and will post back here what happened there.

I Just bought my Apple TV yesterday. It was the rigth model A1469 but didn't work peer to peer. The software was 6.2 so I updated it (7.0.1)

then I followed your instructions and it works great ! The step about restaring the Apple TV is a must. It dudn't work before that.

works with my Ipod 5 and Iphone 6 but not Ipad 3. That is probably normal.

Thanks!

I've tried all these suggestions, checked my set-up, reseted, everything is up to date, etc., & still can't get Peer to Peer Bluetooth to work...

Why isn't anyone affiliated with Apple chiming in on this lengthy (& futile) thread with a fix? The experience here is a bit like the blind leading the blind. Surely they could have someone moderating issues when they reach this juncture...

I don't know how can this help you guys but it worked out for me... I scheduled an appointment with Geniuses and once I got there they told me that I'm the first person that had problem with peer to peer or at least first one to report it. Before coming to genius bar I tried absolutely everything and I know what I'm doing since I'm teaching apple classes. In apple store they connected my ATV to their TV connected to Apple Store wifi, later on we disconnected wifi hard reseted my iPad and from there on it works... So, we did nothing special there, sorry guys...

Lucky you CroMatt---i tried your hard reset & still my devices are undiscoverable via Bluetooth. I would really like Airplay peer-to-peer to work so as to counter the frequent WiFi signal interference i experience at trade shows but as i've often found with Apple over the years, the promise is often a tease :-)

I purchased a new Apple TV the other day and could not get peer to peer working so went back to the Apple Store and they did a full restore as well got it up and running using my iPad Air 2 but on using it in our hotel room I find I keep getting an unknown error (3) message when trying to play movies or TV shows. Everything else works on peer to peer. Looks like another trip to the Apple Store tomorrow.

Last night I did a full restore on my Apple TV that wouldn't work with peer to peer, then when it had finished I disconnected from the mains, plugged back in and peer to peer worked fine. I left another unit that wasn't working with peer to peer restoring last night. Again as it had restored ok I disconnected from mains, the reconnected and peer to peer works. I will try a third unit today, but I think that's the way to get peer to peer working.

Al the new OS's destroyed my airplay capabilities. I never had a problem with Mavericks and iOS 7 and whatever version of the Apple TV OS was before this one. After a few minutes of air playing something from my macbook pro I inevitably get the stoppage of video, the "cannot load content" error on the tv and then when I try to start over I get the "cannot connect to apple tv" error on my computer. Its astounding how many problems across the board all these new OS's have. Its honestly steps back. All these new features are failing all over the place.

Thanks! This tip works fine for my iPhone 5s and iPad mini first gen!

just go to "settings", "audio & video", "tv resolution" and then change to 1080p HD - 60Hz.

After this change, both devices found Apple TV on control center.

II'm trying to make it works with my MB Air 13" 2014 running OS X Yosemite, but it show the message: " could not connect to Apple TV"

I found that if you want to view netflix from your iphone to your apple tv, you have to turn on bluetooth and select airplay, but most importantly click on the "mirror" option on your iphone. So technically you're not airplaying the content, but mirroring your phone to your apple tv without needing your apple tv to be on wifi. Now I can hook up my apple tv in my van and mirror netflix or any internet stream to my apple tv using only my iphone's data conncetion.

How can you do that, I have got same model macbook pro but whenever i try to make a peer to peer connection there is always a cannot connect to apple tv device or screen code is wrong message. Please explain how can you connect peer to peer with apple tv..?

Wifi and bluetooth on both of these devices

Macbook pro late 2013 apple tv a1469

There is no wifi network or internet connection i just want to connect with peer to peer ..!?

On the iOS side, everything seems ok for peer to peer airplay but yosemite 10.10.3 and macbook pro late 2013, no go.

Thanks.

I managed to get BBC iPlayer working on peer to peer streaming last night. I had to use airplay mirror, but it worked.

Netflix still won't work, even with AirPlay mirroring.

The fact that I can stream with BBC shows that Netflix could work.

This needs sorting out!!!!!

I've purchased the Apple TV today so that I can mirror my iPhone 5s when both devices are not connected to a network using the peer to peer facility when I'm out and about. It is the model A1469 and I connected it to a network first so I could update the software which is now version 7.2. I then forgot the wifi network, both on the Apple TV and on my iPhone 5S. I made sure that Wifi and bluetooth were switched on on both devices. The airplay was not showing on my iPhone 5s (which has the most up to date software available), only the AirDrop. After reading the thread I restarted my Apple TV and the Airplay option has now appeared, but it is not finding the Apple TV, it only shows the iPhone with a tick. Please can anyone advise before I take it to the Apple shop or throw things at it out of frustration?
