Is it possible to make devices “forget” Apple TV? I have reset my Apple TV, and now it’s listed as Apple TV(2) even though its name is set to “Apple TV”.

  • Where exactly? Could you clarify a little more?

  • Basically everywhere. My Mac, iPhone and iPad, they all list this TV as Apple TV(2). I know I can rename the TV, but that's not the point. Screenshots: imgur.com/a/Iyip5 Nov 30, 2014 at 8:01

It's not possible. Airplay devices work like wifi networks: when it's needed, the iDevice scans to check what is available in range. There is no option regarding Airplay: it just appears when you are close enough to a capable device.

Swipe up, select air play Apple TV, Turn Off Air Play Mirring, then select Apple TV. It sounds too simple, but it worked for me. Hope this helps.
