I bought a new LG Tv and although I can hear the sound from a programme I have downloaded onto my Ipad I can't see the picture. I did not have this problem with my old TV. The Ipad plays the programme, I can select Apple TV but only the sound comes through. Anyone know the reason for this? thanks Jennie
Welcome to the Apple community.
Are you sure you aren't just watching content that the provider has blocked AirPlay for. Some do this.
When you select the ATV on your iPad does a TV icon appear next to the ATV or a speaker?
It looks like a speaker! Didn't even notice that before.
The new TV is off the hook. Others have reported this and I believe it was resolved by doing software updates on both sides (iPad and ATV). I think it is a bug when software does not match.
Try running the software update on the iPad in settings to make sure you are up to date.
Try running the software update on the ATV in settings to make sure it is up to date.
Restart both and see if the speaker changes to the TV.
Thanks a lot. The Ipad is up to date but the Apple TV won't update today. I will try again later and report back.
There are no updates for your Apple TV unless you have the Apple TV 4, even so changing your TV shouldn't affect how your Apple TV works unless you have some sort of HDMI issue with the new TV or cable.
Did you check whether you should be able to see video when air playing this content. If you should be able to...
