Q: Unable to connect Apple TV to both iPhone & iMac

I have an Apple TV, an iPhone5 and an iMac (v.10.9). They all worked perfectly until the recent update. I've updated the latest software for all three devices. Now I don't see the Airplay icon on any devices. I restarted all of them and made sure all are connected to the same wireless network. Please let me know if any other steps I could do before I take the Apple TV to the store.

 

Thanks!

AppleTV 2, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

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. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
  6. Restart your mobile device.
