After updating my Apple TV to iOS 6.1 I am no longer able to connect to it via AirPlay (from iPad or iTunes) or even control it with Remote.app on my iPad.
After hard restarting it (by unplugging it) I am able to, until it goes to sleep, after which it becomes unreacheable, and remains so even after being awoken by the physical Apple remote.
What is going on?
Please fix this soon, Apple!
ATV is on 5.2, so what is it you upgraded to 6.1?
Oh, mea culpa. I just remember updating my iPad and Apple TV at the same time. Since both updates were released at the same time, I thought both were running on the same version of iOS.
Im having the same issue. I feel the issue is with the apple TV. My macbook pro is not picking it up either.
Same issue...
Just updated my iPhone 5 this morning, and then whilst out I bought the latest AppleTV (only so I'd get AirPlay compatibility). Brought it home and updated it.
Note I've made sure ATV & iPhone are on the same WiFi network. Have enabled sharing on my MacBook iTunes (not that I'm sure you need this for airplay). I terms of trying air play from MacBook to ATV I haven't found out a way to do this yet, however it might be because I've never done it before and haven't found the write button to click...
Then I could NOT work out how to get airplay working in any form from my iPhone to ATV. Also tried AppleRemote IOS app as I noted an update came through but I haven't got that working either.
Will monitor this thread and hopefully someone can give advice/workaround.
Sometimes these network discovery issues can be resolved by resetting your router. Has that worked for anyone?
Roy - thanks heaps - simply rebooting my wireless router made things work - these home network wireless routers are pivital in out lives now yet 🙂 In fact that reminds me a of song from an Australian group here:
Restarting the router may only work initially, much like I pointed out that hard restarting my ATV worked initially only until it went to sleep again, after which it went back to not working.
I personally have restarted my router twice since this AirPlay/Remote problem started, for unrelated reasons (my internet connection dropping out), and it didn't help.
However, I have found that setting the ATV to automatic IP configuration seems to fix the problem. But that's not much of a fix considering I need to have it manually set to a specific IP address.
The problem is clearly in the Apple TV, not people's routers. It only started after the last update, and it's wide-spread as evidenced by the growning number of threads and posts about this and various related issues.
Same problem when updating to 6.1 on iPhone and iPad. Simply on your Apple TV go to settings->general->restart(at the bottom)
AirPlay and Remote no longer working after 6.1 update.
