My apple TV won't show up on other apple devices for airplay

I just got the Apple TV 3 and it won't show up on any of my devices.

I've reset the router and modem.

I've made sure the TV and other devices are on the same network.

I've made sure Airplay is "on" on the TV,

I can see my other devices but not the Apple TV.

How can I fix this?

Apple TV (3rd generation), iOS 7.0.4

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Are you looking in the right place for AirPlay, your other devices shouldn't show up in AirPlay, only Apple TV and AirPlay enabled devices such as expresses and 3rd party speakers.

Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.

Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)
