Airplay Apple TV not working/mirroring after IOS 8

ONE KIND OF FIX!

For anyone still reading this thread, I was confused for a fair while after trying to share the iPad screen to my Apple TV (iOS 8), I was swiping up the control strip from the bottom of the screen, pressing the appropriate button and seeing the choices "iPad" and "Apple TV" -- then I would click the Apple TV and get the tick to appear next to it however nothing seemed to happen.

For ages I assumed something was broken...

However in fact, there is a little "on/off" slider switch BELOW the "Apple TV" but it requires you to scroll up to see it.

I had NO CLUE that it is there, hidden just off the bottom of the screen, which is a huge fail for Apples UI guys. When Apple decided to remove scroll bars so that they only appear when yo've just scrolled, they also remove the visual cue that there IS anything to scroll.

HI, a Post from an other toppic.

hi there,

i had the same issue. (Ethernet/kable) after the AppleTV 3 updated automaticly last night.

i solved it for me.

i Did a full factory reset. It also automaticly downloaded and instaled the ios again. After filling out all the id's and so on. It workes 🙂

maybe that helps for you too.

That worked for me, didn't try scrolling through the box at first, thanks!

I have an ipad 2 as well and had the same problem until I read this post. Follow joebeimon's instructions it works.

i Went into the Apple TV settings- AirPlay, turned on conference room display. Then go into general and restart your Apple TV. Make sure your iPad is turned off when you restart your Apple TV. After your Apple TV has come back on, Turn on your iPad give it a few seconds to connect to your wifi. open up your control panel touch your Apple TV and you should see the mirror toggle now.

I frustrated for awhile about this. @ Joebeimon. Thanks

I was just repeating Winston Churchill's instructions, and my own experience with Applecare folks. I do not have an iPad though, so I am glad other people's ideas help..... What about you Betty.... Did Oxonian's suggestion help? I guess it should be the same on my iPhone 5, but I have not updated yet, due to all this bug action. Waiting until 8.0.2 is shown to be reliable.

the conference room selection on the Apple TV worked for me thank you

I found the problem, I have had the same problem, I couldn't find the mirror but it's there the whole time. Just SCROLL UP TO SEE THE BUTTON.

It's hidden. 🙂

I too am having a similar problem.

IPad3: ios 8.02

LR Apple TV (rev3): 7.0

BR Apple Tv (rev2): 6.2.1

Prior to updating the OS to the current versions, I could AirPlay from all iOS devices to all AppleTV's. Now, I cannot get the iPad to connect the the LR AppleTV. I can still connect to the BR AppleTV. This indicates to me that the issue is with AppleTV 7.0.

I have tried all the suggestions in this thread, including a full reset (which is truly frustrating). Nothing is working. No matter what I do, The LR AppleTV does not show up in the AirPlay menu.

I'm about to connect the AppleTV to my Mac and restore to the previous version of the OS since "Beats" is not worth being unable to stream video from my ipad that is not otherwise available on the AppleTV.

I've trying to fix this for a couple of days. I just discovered the AirPlay menu only displays 2 lines. I had to scroll up to see the third line, which was my LR AppleTV. Thee is no indication that scrolling to see additional items is necessar/optional.

You are a marvel ac1973! That was all I needed, so simple. Thanks heaps!!!!!!

I have joy!

This is a big fail for apple. I'm going to run through all these options today, but I'm a developer and this got completely confusing. And now I lack confidence in whether users will be able to get mirroring operational in my app.

Can apple chime in?

Conference room is a dumbed down term for Wifi Direct connection. But from what I'm hearing it's the only way to get mirroring operational again period. So it might as well be called mirroring now.

In my situation the "conference room" setting was a red herring. Once I got the tip to simply scroll down in order to find the mirroring button, all was well. It still works with or without conference room switched on. With conference room on, you get a very annoying (and rather useless) screen prompt to contend with.

I can't speak for all, but all I needed was the direction (above) to find that hidden/obscured mirroring button!

Hi,

a couple of day ago i posted, that i did a full reset and it than worked. For a some hours i found the ATV on my ipad.

So i thought i had solved the problem. But i was wrong.

So i went from LAN to WIFI and everything is fine since than. No matter whether Conference Room is on or off.

I too think, this setting is only to display the information,on how to connect, on the screen.

Imho it is an ethernet issue wich came with the update.
