The mirroring option doesn't appear under AirPlay on my iPad

I can Home Share with two computers and an iPod with my Apple TV for playing iTunes libraries and for Videos, but cannot get The Mirroring option to show up under AirPlay on my iOS devices (iPod Touch and iPad).

iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.


  1. Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
  2. Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
  3. Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
  4. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
  5. Restart your router.
  6. Restart your mobile device.
