Keyboard doesn’t appear and can’t enter passcode.

We are trying to use our AppleTV for screen mirroring and prompted to enter the passcode, but when we are to enter the passcode that appears on the screen, we don’t get a keyboard to allow us to enter the code.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

I have this same problem trying to start Screen Mirroring on iPad Pro running iPadOS 14.4. In the AirPlay code dialog, no amount of clicking or anything else seems to raise the keyboard when this problem occurs.


Restarting the iPad is the only fix I am aware of.

Hello 75Frustrated and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty with a passcode for screen mirroring to an Apple TV device.

You may need to tap of click (depending on if this is from a Mac or an iOS device) in the field for the passcode before you're able to type the passcode in.


Cheers.
