Yosemite, poor performance with Apple TV

I have read this thread and have not seen my issue come up. I use a brand new ATV at work to present power point and other docs in meetings. Since the upgrade I no longer see the airplay symbol at the top of my screen. looked everywhere but can't figure out how to fix.

Bumping, this is still a problem. Brand new AT3, Yosemite 10.10.1, MBP Mid 2012.

No difference between streaming through Wi-fi or connecting MBP directly to AT with ethernet cable.

Still get low frame rate and choppy image. Not horrible but still, I'd rather use cable.

Someone earlier States that if you open up iTunes preference and select home sharing, you will not see ATV under active connection, which may mean that its streaming the video through the internet vs our homes intranet. Hence the slow speeds.

I don't think there is much anyone can do until Apple fixes this issue... Although I'm afraid it might be a while since there are other pressing issues with Yosemite, ***** as bluetooth / Magic Mouse not working properly

It might be choosing to stream over internet in some cases but I have tried disabling wi-fi and bluetooth on my Mac, connected ethernet directly to AT so it was the only way to get content over to it. Still same problem. So unless it's sending the stream to the internet and back again before displaying I don't think its the cause.

I still cannot find my icon for apple tv. I have gone through this entire post and have not been able to resolve my issue. My Apple TV is on the same network as my macbook pro. However I cannot stream video as i cannot find where to connect. I have gone to dislplay and cannot figure this out. Someone please help.

This isn't the topic of this thread...

But here is a guide for you, please read it.

About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support

Make sure you are on the same network and that you have an apple TV / software version / MacBook that supports AirPlay.

The Apple TV should appear under the display icon in taskbar.

I have read the post and couldn't find what I was looking for.

As soon as I connect my Late-2013 13" rMBP to ATV3 via Wifi airplay, the airplay works fine but I lose internet completely. My bluetooth is rarely on, and my firewall is turned off. Any other solutions out there?

Hi I'm from the UK and was brought an Apple TV for Christmas (3rd Gen) and I can stream/mirror perfect from my iPad and iPhone 6 Plus but not from my MacBook Pro Retina and iMac. Both MacBook Pro and iMac are running the latest updates for Yosemite. When I try to airplay from my MacBook its choppy with both picture and sound, and basically unplayable. I have tried turning off bluetooth, changing settings and updating Apple TV.

Does anyone know of a fix I could use for this? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you - works perfectly now!

That worked for me as well

Turning Bluetooth off didn't work for me.

(newest Apple TV, all updates, iMac Yosemite)

"sudo ifconfig awdl0 down"

Turning off AWDL didn't work as well since I get a reply that says:

"ifconfig: interface awdl0 does not exist"

I do not use the terminal regularly, so did I do something wrong?

Third party video streaming services provide a more stable stream than my own purchases via home sharing. (edited) What is going on, Apple?!

Spotify works better than iTunes match and iTunes/iCloud.

Its a shame.

in terminal run

ifconfig

and look at the interface name "awdl", number can not be 0

What if mine looks like this:

awdl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1452

ether 7e:ef:6f:c5:83:81

inet6 fe80::7cef:6fff:fec5:8381%awdl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
