iPad can no longer mirror to Apple TV. Stopped after a power outage. Have tried all of the listed resets but no good. Unit will still play programming, just not mirroring.

First generation Apple TV unit, likely 10 years old.


iPad, iOS 10

First generation Apple TV unit, likely 10 years old.

The 1st generation is from 2007, so you probably have a different model. The 1st generation model did never support AirPlay; that was introduced for 2nd generation and later.

  1. What happens instead when you try to mirror? Does the iPad detect the Apple TV box as a possible destination device, for you to select?
  2. Is the Apple TV box re-registered with a valid Apple ID account? AirPlay may not be available without that.
  3. What type of content are you trying to stream? Some content providers don’t make any effort to make their (web) streams Airplay-compatible. Other content providers block AirPlay completely (e.g. Netflix). Other content providers may have minimum system requirements for the destination device (e.g. 4th generation or later).
