Q: MBP + AppleTV = Spinning Beachball of Death

Every time I try to connect my MacBook Pro to my Apple TV over my home wifi connection, I get the spinning beach ball of death, it never connects and comes back with "Could not connect to “Living Room Apple TV”

 

When I try to connect via Bluetooth, my laptop tries to connect and provides a code, but the AppleTV just searches and searches and never gets there.

 

I used to have no problem connecting over wifi, and I have confirmed that both devices are online with a strong connection.

 

I have done all of the troubleshooting, including:

Updating and restarting my machine

Updating and restarting AppleTV

Testing wifi signal strength and connection

No restrictions or security on Apple TV

 

I even tested it on a second Apple TV and had the exact same issue.

 

My MacBook Pro is up to date: 10.10.3

My AppleTV: 7.2 (7512)

Wifi is via 2TB AirPort Time Capsule

 

Please, can anyone help me?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), iOS 8.3
