iPad screen mirroring problem since update to IOS 17.1.1

Since update to iPadIOS 17.1.1 when attempting to mirror iPad screen to my Samsung Q80 tv it asks for airplay password. This has never happened before and it now also occurs with my iPhone 13 which has also just had its IOS updated. The requested password does not show up anywhere. Help please.

Thank you so much for your suggestion. I tried this on both my iPhone and my ipad, and i am still not able to enable screen mirroring. Thanks again. It really seems like it’s got something to do with the new version.

After ANY iOS/iPadOS upgrade/update, you should ALWAYS perform a simple hard reset/forced restart of your Apple mobile device.


For iPad models with a Home button, do a simple hard reset/forced restart of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.


OR


For much newer design iPad models, without a Home button, try the new simple hard reset/forced restart procedure for the new 2018-2022 iPad Pros, 2020/21 iPad Air 4 and 5, the 2021 iPad Mini 6 and the new 2022, 10th gen base models,


1. Press and release the volume button closest to the top Power button


2. Then immediately ( and quickly ) press and release the volume button farthest from the top Power button.


3. Then, press and hold the top single sleep/wake/power button You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.


Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your 2018-2022 iPad will boot up completely to the iPad’s Lock screen.

Does your TV have any settings that address Apple AirPlay on your TV?

Are you AirPlaying to a TV or an external streaming box (TV, Roku, Amazon Firestick or other streaming box, like a Comcast Flex box? )

Does your TV or streaming box have any type of software or OS that needs some periodic updating.

That would be the next place/s to look at.
