    Hi Speckledam,

    Here are some steps to try if you are not able to mirror the contents of your MacBook Pro to your Apple TV:

    Use AirPlay to display video from your Mac on an HDTV

    Mirror your display or extend your desktop

    You can also use AirPlay to mirror or extend everything on your Mac display. The display must be connected and awake.

    1. Click the AirPlay icon  AirPlay icon in the menu bar, then choose your Apple TV under "Connect To AirPlay Display." The icon turns blue when your Mac is using an AirPlay display.
    2. From the same AirPlay menu, choose either Extended Desktop or one of the mirroring options under "Use AirPlay Display To." 

    To stop using your Apple TV as an AirPlay display, choose Disconnect AirPlay Display from the AirPlay menu. Or just press the Menu button on the Apple TV remote.

    Take care,
