Hey Amathgirlk,


You mentioned your devices are updated, so to confirm, the Apple TV shows tvOS 16.1 and the iPad shows version (if compatible) iPadOS 16.1.1.


Try these steps first
After each step, see if you still need help. 
1: Make sure that your AirPlay-compatible devices are turned on and near each other.
2: Check that the devices are updated to the latest software and are on the same Wi-Fi network. 
3: Restart the devices that you want to use with AirPlay or screen mirroring.

If you're prompted to enter a password, you might have restrictions turned on, or you might need to adjust your AirPlay password settings.

These steps and more are found in If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device - Apple Support.


Reach back out if needed.



Take care!
