Q: Can't find onscreen code (many people have this problem)
When I try to turn on the Apple TV in the AirPlay Display box, I immediately receive a box titled "AirPlay Device Password" with an instruction "Enter the AirPlay code for 'Apple TV'". I never received this notice before when using Apple TV and my computer with AirPlay. I followed the instructions in the advice given in the community postings of this conversation. I cannot even open the code to enter one--it does not behave like the instructions indicate. I tried inputting a password in the password input at the Apple TV security to see if this would work. This listed as incorrect code when input into the pop up box. In Apple TV Security I have none checked off and nothing will come up when I hit the Code line and nothing is in the password link now.
I have seen that over 15 people have had this problem and no one is giving an answer to it. I have done a factory reset of the ATV and still having the same problem on my laptop as everyone else. It keeps asking for this when NONE is selected. I tried creating my own password, but it says that is wrong when I enter it too. Can someone please help with actual advice?
