Airplay on IPad

Postby Campo Steve » Fri Jun 19, 2015 5:38 pm

Moved my Apple TV to a new house.it's set up on the new network but when I swipe up from the bottom on my iPad I am only offered zairdrop and not the Airplay option. Have I done something wrong? Or is there something I should be doing. IPad and Apple TV are on the same wifi network
I've got an inferiority complex, but it's not a very good one!

Are you sure the Apple TV is switched on?

The lighton the front is lit and pressing the menu button on the remote brings up the menu on the TV.it's getting thr iPad to recognise that airplay should be offered to me as an option. It worked fine in the old house.

try switching both off and back on along with the route or
if the AirPlay icon doesn't appear

Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon , try one of these steps:
•If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
•Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.•Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.

Tried switching both off and on. The Apple TV screensaver is now being displayed on the TV. But IPad only offering Airdrop when I sweep up from the bottom
