The icon for apple TV appears on my top menu, but the only selection is "Open Display Preference." There is no option to open "Apple TV." I am using OS X El Capitan. The TV and my Mac are on the same network.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3)
You cannot setup TV preferences using the Mac.
On your Mac you can stream content to TV on the same network.
Tell us exactly what are you trying to do?
Trying to use TV as monitor, see computer screen on TV. Mirror computer screen on TV. When Airplay icon is selected, it does not provide a select "Apple TV"
option. All I can do is select "Open Display Preferences." In preferences Airplay is Off. No option to turn on??
Your profile says it's Mac OS X 10.6.3, is this correct?
Click link below for requirement and setting up:

If that's the case, click your username and change it. It will help us help you.
Did you go through the troubleshooting outlined in the link?
The first step is not possible (see below #1), because I cannot choose Apple TV under "Connect To Airplay Display."
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.That's simply telling you how to enable it, not the troubleshooting I was referring to (which is right below)
