Airplay Apple TV not working/mirroring after IOS 8

I will have to endorse what "hot_spur" said. We are using our Apple TV with AirPlay, Mirroring, etc. with our iOS8 devices, and having no problems.

Goody for you. You're here to accomplish what, exactly? My iPad worked fine on iOS 7 & fails miserably on 8, even after wiping and reinstalling. Of the 2 iPads and 3 iPhones I have tested personally, only the iPhone on iOS 7 still works. The iPad stopped working when it went to iOS 8. I'd love to hear your logic "proving" I'm wrong.

This is the dumbest fix of a apple problem EVER!!! Shows clearly that Apple the latest five years have gone in a terrible new direction. But thank you so much for posting this fix! :-) It should show up as the main answer to this thread.

I Did this and it worked immediately. Not only that but all my video streaming, including from my Macs, also began working again.

THanks!

I don't have an issue with mirroring. However, since I updated all of my IOS devices to 8.1.1, I can no longer "see" the actual videos using Airplay with AppleTV. I can only hear the audio....I get a little grey musical "note" on the screen but no picture/video. I have no idea how to fix this. It worked just fine prior to the update. By the way, this is happening with my iPad and iPhone 6. Can anyone help me?

We had people over for dinner yesterday. The guests had five iphone 6, one iphone 6+, two iPhone 4s and one iPhone 4. All the iphone fours could stream, none of the sixes. The fours were on iOS 7.(something), the sixes were on 8.1.2 or 8.1.3. My iPad Air is on 8.1.2 and, of course, doesn't work. It worked fine on iOS 7. The Apple TV is on 7.0.3 (6917).

The problem is ios 8.

I agree 100%. I never had this issue pre 8, amongst other issues such as massive slowdown and app crashes from 7 to 8. Also, my 4s on 8.1.3 does not need bluetooth on to see the appletv whereas my ipad air does...

bring up the control bar from the bottom of your iPad, click Apple TV, you can then scroll within that little box to enable mirroring again..... Sorted!

Sometimes I think, WOW. Windows user...

Bluetooth fix works.

Using my iPad mini2 latest ios8 I had to turn on bluetooth then airplay became available. Using my ipad2 with iOS 7 i do not have to turn on bluetooth.

Turning on bluetooth worked for me. After turning it on when I opened control panel the option to turn on airplay was there!!!

Pretty silly that you have to have bluetooth on as well frankly.

Thanks mate, I had the same problem, who knew that the menu scrolled......

it is frustraiting how they firce us to update and buy their new products, they want to make money out of us by force!!!!!

Issue with Airplay not working on iOS devices and MBP which is linked to Apple TV3

Several devices running 8.4 plus other devices running 6.1.6 & 5.1.1 & 4.1.4

8.4 devices....

issue 1) sometimes Airplay icon will show up, sometimes it don't!

issue 2) 3rd party Airplay device doesn't show up at all under Airplay icon whilst the Apple TV3 is connected to network, but as soon as ATV3 is disconnected and everything reset then sometines it shows up. However, it's possible to connect to the 3rd party airplay device via browser and IP address, and; b) the 3rd party Airplay device has an APP which has Airplay functionaltity within it - this works perfectly, allowing control of device and also music streaming.

3rd party Airplay device is hardwired to router, but has option to establish a direct peer to peer Wireless Connection, in this case the 3rd party Airplay device shows up under Airplay icon and works.

Airplay worked perfectly prior to recent iOS 8 and iTunes 12 updates.

osx 10.10.4 - occasionally aiplay icon shows up.

6.1.6 device - can't get airplay icon to show up no matter what.

5.1.1 devices - airplay icon will occasionally reveal itself.

4.1.4 device - airplay icon is always visible and works, however when first hit the play button , it will randomly disconnect itself, airplay icon disappear momentarily and reappear, then work fine.

So here's what happens....disconnect the Apple TV3 from power supply & network and....

When ATV3 is unplugged from mains power, then the 3rd party airplay device randomly shows up under airplay icon on all devices. The 3rd party airplay device remains under aiplay icon and reappears if iOS device is disconnected and reconnected to network.... unless the ATV3 is reconnected to the power supply. As soon as ATV3 is reconnected to opower supply then any other airplay devices are dropped from menu!

Reset router > reset all devices > turned everything off/on and then reset > done this I don't know how many times!! The only device that works consistently is running iOS 4.1.4. i.e.: It's ages old... that's when Apple products did work and were fun.

Nothing works when the ATV3 is in the scenario, so that's on it's way to the trash can.

Is this Apples attempt at world domination?

Come on Apple, it's about time you stepped up.
