The ongoing argument between Windows and OS X users as to which holds the crown is of fierce debate, with devotees from both sides quick to point out the various advantages and disadvantages of each.

Airplay-logo

Whilst Windows is the most widely-used, Apple’s iteration continues to go from strength to strength, and does have many quirks attributing to its increased popularity. AirPlay is one such feature, allowing music to be played wirelessly to compatible speakers. Thanks to a nifty little app by the name of Shairport4w though, Windows users can too stream music from their iPhone, iPad and iPad touch over a Wi-Fi connection.

A simple, small and free app, Shairport4w turns your Windows PC into an AirPlay receiver with a simple setup process that takes less than a minute. It requires Apple’s Bonjour service to be running, but as an iDevice user, you’ll probably already have iTunes installed. As iTunes relies on Bonjour, you needn’t download it separately, but if you don’t have iTunes, Shairport4w will prompt you to download the Bonjour package at first launch.

So, let’s go through the setup process.

Step 1: Download Shairport4w from sourceforge [Download Link].

Step 2: As it’s a portable utility, there’s no need to install anything. Simply extract from the .zip to the desired location and run.

Step 3: Specify a name and if you wish, password for Airport and click the ‘Set’ button. After that, you can minimize and leave it to run in the background, opening again only if you wish to change the name or password.

Shairport4w-1

Step 4: Launch iTunes on any computer and your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connected to the same wireless network. The name you set in Shairport4w will now be visible in the AirPlay menu – select it and you’re good to go!

As we know the AirPlay mirroring was just pushed for iPad 2 on iOS 5 but some changing in the deep software can make the stuff go reverse and make it happen in all the iDevice. The steps which are mentioned below will enable the AirPlay Mirroring on all the iDevices and on iOS 4.3.3 too, but you need a jailbrokren device for that, iFunBox (Windows), CyberDuck (Mac) and a .plist editor for Mac (xCode can help you).

Follow these steps to enable AirPlay mirroring

  • Connect your device to PC/Mac
  • Head over to iFunBox/CyberDuck and rediect to system/library/coreservices/springboard.app/
  • Copy K48AP.plist to your PC/Mac (Copy it 2 times for backup)
  • Open K48AP.plist 
  • Add display mirroring-boolean YES to K48AP.plist and save it.
  • Delete K48AP.plist from system/library/coreservices/springboard.app/ and copy the file you edited on your PC/Mac.
  • Reboot and you are done.

You can enable video mirroring on the first gen iPad and iPhone 4 by using a pretty simple hack. You’ll need a few things and some patience before you get started, but it’s really not that hard to get this setup and working.

Here are the requirements:

Assuming you are now jailbroken, you must SSH into your iPad or iPhone (using the SFTP client) and locate the following directory:

/system/library/coreservices/springboard.app/

Within this directory, look for the following files: “K48AP.plist” for iPad, or “N90AP.plist” for iPhone 4

Open the appropriate file in a plist editor (requires Xcode) and add the following key, type, and value as seen in the screenshot below: display-mirroring boolean YES

Save the plist file and upload back to the iPhone or iPad, then restart the device.

Now just plug in the AV cable and start mirroring!
