Why does AirPlay keep stopping?｜BJCast

AirPlay keeps stopping due to various potential reasons. Here are some common issues and corresponding solutions:

1. Network Connectivity:

   • Ensure that both your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and the receiving device (such as an Apple TV or a smart TV with AirPlay support) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
   • Check the Wi-Fi signal strength and stability.
   • Make sure the router does not have AP isolation enabled, which prevents direct communication between devices.
   • Restart the router to resolve potential network issues.

2. AirPlay Settings:

   • Verify that AirPlay is enabled on both the sending and receiving devices.
   • If a password or restrictions are set on the receiving device, ensure they are correctly entered or temporarily disabled during the connection process.

3. Software Updates:

   • Ensure that all Apple devices involved in the AirPlay connection are running the latest software versions. Outdated software may contain bugs or lack compatibility with the latest AirPlay features.

4. Device Compatibility:

   • Not all devices support AirPlay. Check the compatibility of your devices with AirPlay.
   • If the receiving device does not natively support AirPlay, consider using third-party screen mirroring apps or hardware solutions like HDMI adapters or streaming sticks.

5. Interference and Conflicts:

   • Some apps or services may interfere with AirPlay functionality. Try closing unnecessary apps or services before initiating an AirPlay connection.
   • Restart both the sending and receiving devices to resolve temporary conflicts or issues.

6. Audio and Video Settings:

   • If you encounter issues with audio or video playback, ensure that the audio and video formats are compatible with AirPlay.
   • Check the audio settings on both devices to ensure they are configured correctly for AirPlay playback.

7. Hardware Issues:

   • In rare cases, hardware issues on either the sending or receiving device may cause AirPlay to stop working. If you suspect hardware issues, contact Apple or the device manufacturer for further assistance.

If you have tried all the above solutions and AirPlay still keeps stopping, it may be necessary to contact Apple support or visit an Apple Store for further diagnosis and repair.
