Apple TV
Since my last upgrade and update to the latest OS X my apple tv choice is not showing in any of my devices. How do I fix that?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
What exactly do you mean by "Apple TV choice".

Hi Winston on my 3 devices, my Mac Book Pro, my Iphone5S and my IPad2, when I was watching a video I could connect to my Apple TV and play it on my TV screen from these devices wireless. I downloaded an update today and I was able to access my music through ITUNES. I suppose the whole process is now easier as there are apps on Apple TV that you can access through Apple TV without having to use any of m devices because everything is in the "Cloud". What I am finding it out is that per example I can connect to TED directly using the APP on Apple TV. I can access to my photo stream, to my IMovies etc. I uppose there is the reason why that accessibility is no longer there. I can even access channels that I would normally access on my U-Verse-TV. The technology keeps advancing so quickly that when one is just getting comfortable with a setting there comes up something else again. For someone who is 61 years young it can be a bit disconcerting. Yet I am adapting and hoping that I get it right. Now the big question ...should I upgrade to El Capitan?
Are you referring to AirPlay...
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
- Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
- Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
- Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
- Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
- Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
- Restart your mobile device.
