Q: Apple TV (3rd) to iPad 4 Air Play Connection issues

When I come home and want to connect my iPad to my Apple TV via Air Play I have to turn the iPad COMPLETELY OFF and then back on again, is there an easier way to have them recognize each other? They are on the same network. they both get internet just fine (netflix runs) they just won't talk to each other.

Sounds like an issue with the local network. Make sure router is up to date. I assume iPad and ATV are on latest firmware. Placement of router in relation to ATV can also be factor.

All three (ipad ATV and router) have the latest firmware/updates. I have gone through all the suggestions on the link and still the problem exists. Neither item has a problem connecting to the internet.

The Internet connection is irrelevant as this is over the local network. How far is the router from ATV ?

Check istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of your network, it will help to see if there's interference. If on wifi try Ethernet.

About 15' in a straight line. (One floor down) I will try netstumbler.

I ended up taking my Apple TV in to the Apple Store and while we were looking at it, it kept losing internet. So they gave me a new one and it has been working perfectly.
