Q: Since updating to IOS 8.1.1 AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work.

I can get another iPad Air to mirror but it is not using IOS 8.  I have tried all the suggestions for restart, reset, unplugging cables, but still am not able to mirror.

My warranty expired 4 days ago so Apple wants to charge me to talk about a problem they created with IOS 8.

iPad Air, iOS 8.1

    I might have run into this problem over the weekend and found a solution elsewhere. After selecting "AirPlay" only two options appeared to be available: "iPad" or "Apple TV." After selecting "Apple TV" it didn't mirror. Turns out, after selecting "Apple TV" there should be a mirroring switch below the "Apple TV" option. You have to scroll that little list by sliding it upward with you finger. For me, this "Mirror" option wasn't visible (had to scroll to find it) and was off by default. After doing so, it worked just fine.

    I found this same solution last week and now am back to mirroring as I had been previously.  It is amazing how "simple" changes made when Apple revises things can foul us up. When we are accustomed to seeing items a certain way, they change them so we have learn new more difficult ways of doing things we were able to do easily. Progress???
