I just update to Big Sur and Airplay to Apple TV is no longer working. Get message that I cannot connect to AppleTV. I have tried all of the troubleshooting advice including same WiFi network, Firewall settings, rebooting routers, modem, appleTV. Any suggestions.
iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 11.0
Since I updated with Big Sur, my passport backup doesn't work, and my Apple TV doesn't work. What are the 10,000 or so Apple Computer programmers doing? Does anyone check? This is really awful.
Easy fix: System Preferences then Sharing. Turn on Home Sharing. That's it
But, does screen mirroring work? I'm sure it didn't. We need to hold Apple's feet to the fire. I'm going to try Firestick.
Good grief! thank you! That should have been taken care of my the Big Sur software. Hope there is an update so that these disturbances are fixed.
Thank you again! It works just fine now
how do you activate the icon?
enabling the bluetooth only allows macbook to connect to the speakers for sound but no video is transmitted.
So I have to turnoff Bluetooth?
Still will not mirror my macbook air.. I have tried everything. Ever since I upgraded with Big Sur it will not mirror on my apple tv. It shows my screensaver but that is all.
Apple no longer supports and updates iTunes at all anymore. iTunes is an old program no longer made and distributed to any Apple devices anymore these days. Please stop 🛑✋ bringing up iTunes.
Try adjusting your firewall preferences in System Prefs. That worked for me.
I did a reset on my Apple TVC and that fixed it.
Big Sur by default starts with the firewall ON. In order to use Apple TV and Airdrop, the firewall has be be OFF.
Cannot connect to AppleTV after Big Sur update
