Screen mirroring suddenly stop reaching Apple TV Good Day, I use Apple TV (not sure about exact model A1427 or A1469 for Rev A) it was working fine until yesterday. I was using IPhone 13 pro max and IPhone 13 for screen mirroring. But from yesterday I'm unable to use apple TV. all devices are in same network, I try to use ethernet and wifi for apple tv. I also restart and then reset factory apple TV but still unable to use apple TV. I check network setting on apple tv, it was ok also I have ping of it from pc. How i can fix this problem, I don't want to buy a brand new.

Apple TV 3 does not pass activation My Apple TV gen 3 will not pass the activation. I have tried what I think is everything. I’ve unplugged my router and reset. Unplugged the Apple TV and restored. Tried resetting it through iTunes via computer. And I have signed into iTunes. I am able to purchase things but I can’t screen mirror which was the whole point of buying this device. I have also tried different wifi networks with no luck.

Apple tv 3rd generation not able to mirror iphone or ipad I have an apple tv box (3r generation). I can watch programmes from my apple tv account but i can not mirror my ipad or iphone. I have tried restoring the device to factory settings. My iPhone and ipad are connected to the same network as the apple tv. I have tried restarting all the devices, unpling the cales and nothing has worked. When i tried mirroring there are no available options to mirror to.

In apple TV main menu activation is failed.

It seems that AirPlay will not be functional until that is fixed. Please apply the advice from user RKG61’s reply here: discussions.apple.com/thread/253315520.

If any issues remain after that, then please let us know.
