Jul 23, 2016 4:21 PM in response to blackhawk1966by Diana.McCall,Your Apple TV is version 2. The current software is version 6.2.1, updated in Sept. 2014. You can check for that in Settings, probably under General>About. Your OS X is current, so should be OK.
Do you see the Apple TV listed when you open the AirPlay menu? Are ATV and computer on the same network? Does it change if you wake up ATV after the computer?
