unfortunately non of thous articles found helpful.

i tried to insert a video to show you what is happening when i select my apple tv from the airplay manue but its greyed out ,


its always keeps on asking me for a code , and i don't have a code set on my APT.

so i can just select my APT instead of connecting immediately to it nothing happens and all of a sodden after a few minutes its connected to it.

On your Apple TV go to Settings > Airplay > Security. Which option is enabled on your Apple TV: None, Onscreen Code or Password?

Did you enable Firewall on your Mac? Did you install any additional security applications on your Mac? If yes, disable/uninstall these apps.


Try to turn OFF all of your devices which are currently creating your network: your MacBook Pro, your Apple TV and your Router. Then turn ON your Router first and once your Router is indicating that connection is working OK, turn ON again your MacBook Pro and Apple TV and test it again.
