Did you every manage to fix this problem? I am now having the same issue with my Apple TV 3rd gen. Everything is logged in correctly, wifi is working (I can stream online content), iCloud is logged in BUT I get the same as above when looking in General / About and it states ACTIVATION : FAILED. As a result, the apple tv is not showing in my list of airplay devices.
