Apple TV no longer an option for Air Play
I have an old Apple TV A1469 that I use to stream content from my iPhone 12 with iOS 17.3.1. I have done this every day for at least the past two years. Recently my content would stop streaming and seemed like the connection was lost, but I could reconnect. I wasn't sure if it was my phone, internet or Apple TV. Then one day I got a error "try again later" on the Apple TV when I tried to stream and even after restarting both devices, could not get it to stream. I "restored to default settings" on the Apple TV which appeared to download new software too, 7.9 (8163). When I reconnected to the internet and tried to stream, the Apple TV option was gone. I tried to stream a photo and music, but still no Apple TV. I also tried another iPhone, same issue. I can see both the Rokus in our house, just not the Apple TV. I tried restarting, unplugging, resetting, and even restored the default settings again, which also appeared to install software again. No Luck. The other issue is I am able to sign into with my AppleID to the store, but when I try to sign in to iCloud I get an error and unable to sign in. Finally, in the About section Activation is "Failed". Not sure if it was like that before though.
