AirPlay not working after ios 11 update

Mine doesn’t work either

Hello:

This looks like a minor UI tweak in iOS11 that has left some of us scrambling.

To start AirPlay simply swipe up to access the control panel tiles and look for a music title playing. Don’t go to the AirPlay screen mirroring icon. Notice in the right hand corner of the tile there is a blue wifi icon. Press on that and let the information drop down. All your AirPlay / Apple TV sources will appear as in the past.

If you don’t see a song tile simply start a song in Music to get things going.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your suggestion, but my problem is not fixed by following your suggestion.

I get the drop down list of Airplay devices by clicking the appropriate Airplay icon, which is accessible in multiple ways, none of which worked when I tried to send audio from my iPhone 7+ or iPad Pro to my Airplay-compatible Marantz M-CR550 receiver after I upgraded to iOS 11.

Many others on this thread have reported the same problem sending audio to other manufacturers’ Airplay compatible devices.

A senior Apple advisor contacted through Apple’s support line suggested their standard “when all else fails” fix - reset your iOS device to factory settings through iTunes.

That fix did work for my iPhone, but only for a few days, and now I’m back to the original problem.

iOS 11.1 is due out shortly. Perhaps that release will finally put this to bed.

Ahh I see. The reason I came looking for a solution was running iOS 11 Airplay for the first time I couldnt figure out what happened to the old AirPlay button and pop up list.

I had problems with Non Apple AirPlay devices( Bowers and Wilkins and Bose). Drove me crazy. For me the only devices that worked well was Airport Express and Apple TV. I am sure HomePod speakers will be the same. AirPlay is magical but very fussy.

Good luck sorting that out.

Ps: I notice the wifi icon is sometimes great and sometimes pulses blue. Regardless of music playing. I wonder what that is all about.

The Marantz people suggested that I do a hard reset on my router. I actually have three to cover my house and backyard: A relatively new Time Capule, an older Airport Extreme and a still older Airport Express.

The thing is, I am hesitant to do that because it wipes out all your network settings, and I don’t know how to restore them.

In my case also, I can do audio to my Apple TVs through Airplay, but not video. But audio won’t work on the Marantz.

If we’re lucky and enough people scream loudly enough, we probably will get a fix soon.

Apple is approaching $1 trillion in market cap, even as the reliability of their software keeps hitting new lows.

Amazing, isn’t it?

I don’t have any problems sending audio or audio/video (eg., Youtube) to any of my Apple TV’s (and I have several - 2nd to 4th generation).

My problem is sending audio to my Marantz M-CR510 Airplay-enabled receiver. It stopped working when I upgraded to iOS 11.0. Thereafter, neither my iPhone 7+ nor my first-generation iPad Pro could send audio to the receiver via Airplay using the music app. Once in a while I would get an error message saying that Airplay could not connect to the Marantz, but usually there was no error message, just no music.

Finally, resetting the iPhone to factory settings via iTunes fixed the problem on the iPhone, but not on the iPad. However, once I did a synch of the iPhone with iTunes to make sure my music libraries on the iPhone and my Mac were identical, the problem came back. Upgrading to 11.0.1,11.0.2,11.0.3, and finally to 11.1 all failed to fix the problem.

Your problem is a bit different, as you are experiencing audio and video (I surmise video too, since you mentioned Youtube) Airplay connectivity problems with Apple TV.

Different problems, but my suspicion is that all of the Airplay issues being reported in this thread are related to a rewrite of Airplay in order to implement the features of Airplay 2 (none of which I have tried to use or are even interested in using).

Apple is well known for inadequate regression testing that breaks previously working functionality, and I think these Airplay issues are just the latest case in point. I think they will eventually fix the problem(s), but who knows when?

One interesting fact, and one which I believe someone else has mentioned, is that not all iOS devices appear to be affected. For example, my partner also has an iPhone 7+ running the same releases of iOS as I have run, and he has had no problems connecting to the Marantz.

I have been contributing over on the Bose forum on the topic of AirPlay and its expected release.

There is much anticipation hoping Airplay 2 will bring Apple Music to the Bose SoundTouch platform. Apple tech support confirmed AirPlay 2 has not been rolled out yet. There is no expected date announced yet. The Forum consensus is that AirPlay 2 will be released to coincide with or after HomePod.

I am not convinced that will mean Apple Music will be added into the Bose platform (or other partners) in the same way as Bose has implemented their other streaming services. I think AirPlay 2 will just better enable non Apple devices to receive an Apple originated stream over wifi as in the Bose and Marantz scenario.

I am hoping AirPlay 2 will be backwards compatible to Airport Express and Apple TV. I have a a number of Airport Express and Apple TV routers that run very well using AirPlay 1, streaming to non AirPlay devices such as my Bose speakers.

Interestingly Bose has recently implemented their Wired Input Audio Rebroadcast feature in (Beta). The Bose “Play All“speaker function works very well and sounds great with Airport Express plugged into the AUX port of the SoundTouch speakers. Long live the 3.5mm jack!

Also I have discovered a few little problems viewing Readdle PDF files in AppleFiles folder. A problem I believe traces back to Readdle.

I must amend this statement, the file association problem in Files seems to be affecting more than Readdle app docs. The same is happening with Dropbox. Apple docs such as Pages work fine.
