What is your model Apple TV? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support


If you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), then verify if it says “Activation Failed” in Settings﹥General﹥About﹥. If so, then you would need to fix that first, and then AirPlay and other functionality is expected to return.


There are a few other threads about that on this forum. Not sure how widespread it is, or what caused it, but we did see a recent influx in such reports.

Try these steps: If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services - Apple Support

Else I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).

You may also want read up on some user-based suggestions in other threads on this forum regarding Activation Failed.
