The arrival of iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S opens a new range of possibilities for owners of a second generation Apple TV thanks to the AirPlay Mirroring feature or Video in Mirror without the need for cables.
Thanks to this functionality, we can share all the material we have on our iPhone directly on our television. There is no content restriction so we can use Safari, view presentations, play games, watch movies or photos without the need for cables. Everything we do on the screen of our iPhone will also be shown on television.
If you don't have an Apple TV 2G don't worry, there is software for Mac or Windows that transforms our computer into an AirPlay receiver. There is also the possibility of using the HDMI AV adapter that Apple sells in its store, although in this case, we depend on a cable to enjoy mirror video.
Let's see if you can help me: I would like to see the iPhone on my computer without cables and with good fluency, if possible. It is to see the games on a bigger screen… Is there any software? For television, without cables, impossible right? he he
Thanks in advance. In the meantime, I will order an unofficial cable from a page I find and will keep saving for the official apple cable.
You need the AppleTV and an iPhone 4S or iPad 2 with iOS5, although an older one can be tricked to activate the "mirror" option: http://osxdaily.com/2011/04/05/enable-video-mirroring-on-ipad-1-and-iphone-4/
By the way, is airplay mirroring exclusive to the iPhone 4S or iOS 5? It is to know if the iPhone 4 will work when the update comes out.
AirPlay Mirroring is exclusive to iOS 5 (because the iPad 2 does not have it yet) and the A5 processor that both the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S have. The iPhone 4 is left out.
And the image quality seen on TV, how is it? If you play a video in high definition 1080 it is seen as it is on TV?
The image quality will be the same.
Today from my iphone I do airplay through the at2 and the screen arrives at 720.
Hello, what is the software for windows that does the air play receiver pc? Thank you
AirPlay for Windows Media Center
sorry for my ignorance but the airplay button only appears if there is any device available to be used? because it does not come out for me anywhere
Yes, it only appears when there is a device with airplay, apple tv, speakers, etc. If not, the button does not appear.
This ... forgive the intrusion, but we already do this with DLNA, at least from my Galaxy S I can stream on my panasonic g30 ... without the need for any Media Center.
but DLNA allows you to stream multimedia content (movies, photos, music) but as far as I know, it cannot display video in mirror. DLNA would be something similar to Airplay, while Airplay Mirroring goes a step further and reflects on the screen exactly what appears on the iPhone (games, browser, any application). All the best
I have installed the Ios 5 on my iPhone 4 and now the AirPlay button does not come out. Do I have to activate something or when installing Ios5 my iphone has lost this function?
Problem solved
I already installed the new ios5 on my ipad 2 and on my iphone4 and neither the air paly mirroring nor the new camera features work, does anyone know why?
Hello, for the airplay mirroring to work for you on the ipad 2, you have to have the apple tv updated to the latest version and connected so that the ipad 2 recognizes it, the same happens with the iphone 4, only that the specific airplay feature mirroring will not be able to reproduce it, at least without alternative tricks to apple !!! Hahaha
Further down in the post, I make a copy and paste of how to activate airplay mirroring on ipad 1, iphone and ipod touch.
On my iphone 4s there are 2 icons, the Apple TV and the Iphone, but it doesn't give me the option of mirroring, what can I do?
I add more information from airplay mirroring.
For the airplay to work, NO INTERNET CONNECTION IS MISSED !!!! just a wifi router connected to electricity would be enough ... it acts as a link between the apple tv and the iphone / ipad ... and with that you can use the airplay mirroring, or play network games etc ... without having any internet! Example in a country house, etc ... There are many people who do not know this, and it prevented them from buying the apple tv ... Greetings!
Sebastian …… .. Once you have the 4s and the apple tv updated to the latest version, they must both be connected to the same wifi network, and automatically on the iphone the airplay option should appear (double click on the home button -> you slide to the left where the ipod and volume buttons are -> and press the airplay button, then you select the apple tv and a tab should appear to activate or deactivate mirroring). Post data: If the airplay mirroring in a game is going slow or jerky, etc…. It is neither a problem with the iphone nor with the apple tv, it is a problem with the wifi router and its transmission speed which is very slow !!! minimoooo I think it is 2mb / s which is at least a G or N router (checked with several routers and that was the problem of the slowdown in games and other things) I put a new and faster router and it works wonderfully. Another thing: with the trick that I published above of activating multi-touch gestures and airplay mirroring on ipad 100 and iphone 1, I have not managed to activate airpay mirroring ... if the icon appears on the iphone 4, but it does nothing! Has someone gotten something about it? on ipad 4 is mirroring going? I need it, even if it is through jailbreak ... any news will be appreciated, greetings!
Hello Dadogon,
I have read that airplay with games suits you perfectly, I have not managed to make the games go smoothly, they always jerk.
Yesterday I got a new router from Jazztel comtrend ar-5387 un, it has WIFI N and puts up to 300mbps gross, and I don't know what to do anymore, I have appletv2 and ipad 2, you could tell me what model you have of router to test it. Thanks.
Greetings.
Hello, well, a normal Movistar router, anyway I have another router that I have connected to the current to play on the tv and exclusively for airplay, without internet, but of course ... if what you want is to play the game with airplay and online you have It must be the same router that is connected to the internet. I tell you, maybe if this is your case, and you have the emuel, utorrent, jdownloader or something that consumes many resources, the game will jerk you ... That the router is not right, or that it even has some kind of (speed cap on 300MB). If you still do not go, try to disconnect the router from the internet line and leave it only plugged into the power and try a game, and if it still does not go call jazztel and they change it, because my uncle and I It goes perfect and it was because the router was slow, I bought a new router for € 20 and it will work like silk! I hope I have helped you and do not get depressed that going is perfect, guaranteed!
Hi Dadagon,
Thank you very much for the answer first of all.
car games give me jerks and I don't play online.
What I am going to try is to unplug it from the line to see if I am lucky.
The movies, on the other hand, are perfect for me, I don't think it's a jalibreak thing either.
I will inform you if I have succeeded, the important thing is that I know that at least it works for someone.
Greetings.
If it works for you and others put it here ok, you see informing to see how such, because more than one will be like you, a greeting and good luck, that going goes, because on Saturdays the network games to real racing, and the kart and the WORMS !! They are great with colleagues, greetings!
OK I will do like that.
Greetings.
