Apple TV Failed Activation

i played some movie with home sharing, because the airplay is not working. After i finished the movie, i sit down before the mac, and i noticed the airplay icon on the itunes. I checked my iphone and i see my apple tv and the activation failed text is gone.

I can't believe it. Been trying to figure it out since I got it yesterday. Found this thread and finally got to today where you were all saying it's fixed. I went to air play and like magic it was working. Thank you!

I saw the posts that AirPlay was working. Still couldn’t find it on my devices. Tried another reset. And there it was!

Try one more reset and be patient. It showed up on my iPhone before it did on my iPad. .

Good luck!

Hey y’all the problem is fixed on my Apple TV. I can now airplay f I’m my iPhone iPad and my iMac to my Apple TV again. YAHOOOOOOOO. I was totally about to drop everything Apple if this was the new normal. Let us pray they keep making quality products that last without killing them off through updates. My iPhone still has some issues (massive battery drain, I’m on the fence if I will ever buy another iPhone. This is there problem and not ours. And making us buy a battery at a reduced price because they built and charged us for a premium device and built it with inferior parts really is a problem for me.) OH FYI there are some issues with play back while AirPlaying. It sometimes crashes and the stream will either stop or pause. I watched several shows last night and this issue happened all night long. My iPhone was literally 1.5 feet from the Apple TV.

Same here. No airplay after the restore...

Same here.

All was working fine & did the same, now no matter what i do cannot activate so no airplay.

Can play movies etc, just no airplay.

Any help appreciated

Same problem, after restore activation failed, no AirPlay

Same to me... just wait for the response.

Same here, just called them and they said it was a recent issue brought up by many users. They said they’d call back in 4 working days.

Having the same problem here, too!
Airplay icon not appearing at all, when playing video, and Activation "failed" under "Settings > General"

I’m having the exact same issue. Has anyone gotten an answer yet?

Same here!
