Hello,
Neither my iPhone devices nor my iPad are able to detect my Apple TV 3 when I switch on screen mirroring. All devices are connected to the same network.
Failed Activation - I’ve tried to reset the router, reset Apple TV, used different network and different iPhone but still failed to activate.
When I tried to connect with PC, the PC didn’t detect anything.
Setting was fine but just can’t use airplay function.
Hello timothyiip,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're not able to find your Apple TV via AirPlay and that you're seeing an "Activation Failed" alert. If that's right, you'll need to restore your Apple TV to factory settings, then set it up again: Reset or restore your Apple TV to its factory settings
Let us know how it goes.
Take care.
Hello Tammy,
thanks for your reply. I’ve tried but still doesn’t work. And when I put my iPhones above the Apple TV, it didn’t recognize any of my device. The automatic activation is not working either.
I don’t know what happened as it worked perfectly.
timothyiip,
That's good to know. Since the behavior continues, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support to look into this more: Get Support
Cheers.
