iPad Pro 10.5 inch not screen mirroring with Apple TV
My iPad Pro 10.5 inch model A1709 (iPadOS 16.5) would not do screen mirroring with Apple TV (tvOS 16.5).
It would connect to the Apple TV OK, but the TV screen went blank black after connection.
Strangely it would Airplay movies OK from the Apple TV App. And my iPhone 11 and MacBook would both do screen mirroring just fine. So it was fairly clear it was a problem with the iPad.
After hours spent with Apple support, trying many different solutions, nothing worked until a support consultant suggested:
- Backup & sync iPad to MacBook
- Factory reset iPad
- Restore from backup
This fixed the very frustrating problem. Hooray.
Clearly the iPad had been through a long history of Beta testing of Apps, OS upgrades and much more, so the clean out to factory reset was the way to go.
Great support from the Apple support consultants.
