Airplay Apple TV not working/mirroring after IOS 8

I was able to use Airplay by using the following;

1. Swipe up from the bottom to display controls

2. Press Airplay

3. Select Apple TV

4. Swipe up on the box to display the on/off switch

5. Turn the switch to the on position

Voila !

None of the suggestions written below worked for me.

I too am having exactly the same problem. Everything worked fine before updating to iOS 8, but since then, no mirroring option with AirPlay. Rebooted everything to no avail.

I have just read this post after posting about my own problems accessing mirroring. If only I'd read this first! Worked for me, I now have access to mirroring again- but why the change? With no hints or clues to the change in behaviour, the solution is not very intuitive. Well done for finding it Lugie! The confusing part is, mirroring on my iPhone 5c still works the same way- the problem only existed on my iPad 4

Conference on and bluetooth on the ipad on worked for me. I turn bluetooth on ipad off, it loses appletv. Bluetooth off on iphone works fine though...

Wow...I feel dumb. I was going through all the other suggestions with this issue (and non were working...) until I saw your reply....and sure enough...I didn't realize you could scroll down and enable mirroring. I think it used to be visible, but now it's not...so it's a bit hidden. I still feel dumb though 😉...but thanks!

This reply work for me, i am dumb too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me I found after bringing up the control center I could swipe left on air drop and Air Play is there.....

Worked both on 5s and iPad...

oh my god after spending hours resetting everything and then i read this discussion group and come to find out you can scroll down on the airplay list!

I couldn't see my apple tvs until i figured out you had to scroll down since it doesn't show scrolling bars..

even the guys at apple support online refered me to some senior tech and they couldn't figure it out it never occured to anyone of them to tell me "hey have you tried scrolling"

And the mirrrowing was fixed by turning on the conference room thing

Thanks, that was exactly what's happened to my iPad 2. Thanks for the tips of scrolling down to see the mirror options. It is working now!

scrolling up what?

I Would like to "mirror" this response, I've spent weeks trying to fix this and all I had to do was scroll. Unbelievable.

I had the same problem and found the solution.

Simply restart your AppleTV.

Probably best to make sure the Apple TV software is up to date then restart.

On Apple TV go to Settings - General - RESTART

This is what I did and suddenly the Airplay button on my iPhone appeared again.

It also solved mirroring problems I was having with my iMac and MacBookAir.

Hope it works for you.

Hi there, I thought I'd share my thoughts on this as well.

I just purchased an iPad Air and could not get the Airplay to work at all. Even when I tried to toggle the"Mirroring" slider it just wouldn't work, or stay on. In the end, I reset everything. I unplugged my TV, Modem, Router (Netgear for what it's worth), Apple TV (2nd Gen), and turned the iPad Air completely off and back on.

I left everything off for about two minutes, turned it all back on, and everything works no problem now. Not sure this will help anyone but it's what worked for me!

My main reason for getting Airplay to work is so I can use the NFL Game Pass and stream it to my HDTV. So now I'm quite happy!

Love the community, thanks for the help! Good luck!

Unfortunately I have done this too, which works for a little while and then it plays up in less than a day. My phone has no issues with Airplay _at_all_. My ipad air is the black sheep, and very occasionally my MBP will have Airplay issues, that usually get resolved either with terminal commands or quicker to just reboot.

Just O/T but why did you not wait for the VERY soon to released Air 2? I'm about to sell my Air.
