Everything turned on and same network and my Apple TV is 2nd generation, model 1378. It's still not working correctly though. I did have the Geek squad here before and it worked fine so I must have it on some wrong setting. Please help is you can. Thanks.
If you still can’t use AirPlay after trying these steps, contact Apple Support.
