Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

How do I upgrade music to DRM free so I can play on my Sonos?

How do I upgrade itune music to DRM free so I can play on my Sonos?

I use dropbox.com to edit my website from multiple computers. It's free for up to 2GB of storage.
Install dropbox on all the computers you will edit from and then keep your domain file in dropbox. Any file that is edited on any computer is updated on all the other computers.
By default your domain file is located in your user/library/application support/iWeb folder. Just copy it to the dropbox and double click on the file in dropbox to begin editing that file. Keep your file backed up frequently as all your edited work is in this one file. If you lose this file you will have to start from scratch unless you keep backups.
Only one person can edit the file at a time. If you edit the file from two locations at the same time your file will become corrupted.
I have never had any problems using dropbox to edit from multiple computers.
Sincerely, David

Does anyone know if the Apple HDMI adaptor can play iTunes purchased movies with the latest IOS

Does anyone know if the Apple HDMI adaptor can play iTunes purchased movies with the latest IOS. I only want to play my downloaded movie on a TV where there is no internet for Apple to unlock it and play via my AppleTV. The reviews I am reading are very mixed !

Managing which computers can play iTunes music

Is there a way I can manage which computers can play my music. I am only allowed to activate 5. I've uninstalled iTunes on one, and installed it on another...three times. Now, I only have 1 computer left, and I am afraid I may use that. How can I deactivate the unused ones?

How do I play iTunes through my HiFi system ?

I'm new to Apple support communities having just bought my first Macbook Pro (a 17" 2.5GHz i7 model) and this is my very first iTunes post.
I’m a bit of a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so, with my new MacBook Pro I've taken the opportunity of completely reloading my iTunes library to disk in high quality Apple Lossless format. Took a while but now I've completed the task I’m really pleased I've done it.
My question is, what is the best way to connect a Macbook Pro to a high quality Hi-Fi preamp so I can play iTunes through my high quality Lounge HiFi system ? . . . my Hi-fi system is by Musical Fidelity, and the pre amp a Musical fidelity A5cr, this is a very expensive and good quality pre-amp, which has superb audio quality, but, only has analogue RCA phono inputs.
I'm guessing one option must be to use the MBP headphone output, either as an analogue or digital source, but I suspect its analogue headphone output will be totally incompatible with the RIAA requirement of the pre amp phono input ?
I’ve also read some comments about using digital connection – USB DAC’s appear to be an option but I don’t know anything about these or which models (available in the UK) are recommended – anyone got any experience ?
I've also read in an archived post here that MBP's have an optical output so maybe that could be used as the input to a DAC ? . .again any advice on which is the best way to go much appreciated ?
Apologies if this question has been asked lots of times before but I've looked through some previous posts and can't find any answers in simple and straightforward language concentrating on the issue of connecting a MacBook Pro to an analogue phono pre amp input ?
Thanks in anticipation of some advice.

Apple TV is the right solution for this.   I'm also a hifi fan who now has a giant itunes library in the cloud... and I wanted to play it through my hifi.
Get Apple TV for $99, and make sure you have an optical cable (avail at Walmart for maybe $10 I bet). You also need to buy an HDMI cable but it is beside the point for the hifi purpose.
Now my setup is Apple TV with optical out to my very decent (not ultra high end) AV receiver Denon 2802 - which gives me DA conversion AND bass managment.   This goes out to my high end integrated amp using RCA cables from the receiver to the integrated amp.    Now just calibrate the subwoofer using the AV receiver's bass management and I am VERY much in business. It sounds GREAT.
The receiver acts like a preamp (I keep my integrated with the dial at 12:00 most of the time... sort of like a stand alone power amp with a little gain left over... for TV this powers my fronts and the receiver powers the rest - works very fine).
Now if I want to be a little more purist about the whole thing, I might buy a separate outboard DAC to go between apple TV and my Integrated amp - cutting out the receiver.   I would cut down the signal path a bit.   But I would lose some bass management - I'd have to work harder to integrate my subwoofer using the subwoofer's dials which is tough...or else abandon the sub and play my speakers on large (which in my experience is never best... psychologically it seems best but it does not sound better if you are pretty good at dialing in your sub).
Anyway I probably lost you by talking on too long ... but in short - the Apple TV is perfect for this purpose - at least in my setup.   One of the best $99 I have ever spent.   My CD's are all ripped to itunes and are now nothing more than coasters. I sit in my chair - toggle to the assigned input on my receiver with the remote, use the receiver's remote for volume control, my macbook pro/iphone/ipad) to choose playlists, and enjoy pretty good hifi with my expensive integrated amp, sub and speakers.
Most of the time, my Apple TV has nothing to do with my TV... ironically. If I knew ATV would work this well for me I'd have been wiling to pay $250 for it.
Good luck.

I have no problems playing iTunes Radio stations thru my tv speakers but if I try to airplay spotify from any device it plays for a while then cuts out. Any suggestions?

I can play iTunes Radio stations via Apple TV through my tv speakers but if I try to airplay spot iffy the music cuts out after so many minutes. Any suggestions why or what I should do?

... sorry, my actual MacMini doesn't support a twin-monitor feature.. nor does my grafic card support a direct connection to a TV...
you should look in your prefs, Monitor, and should be able to set for the 2nd monitor some 768res/25fps .. .if your grafic card supports that mode.. (my old iBook G3 did it that way, but it is ... "retired" ....)

HT201272 How do I remove DRM-protected tracks? I've purchased iTunes match and followed all of the directions for redownloading and I still can't play some of my tracks on the DJay 2 app. Please help! Do I need to purchase these tracks all over again?

How do I remove the DRM-Protection from tracks so that I can play them on my DJay 2 app. I've followed the directions for removal and it's not working...
Will I have to purchase these tracks again?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

How do i play iTunes playlists on sonos system

I have a Sonos system.I have copied the itunes folder on the NAS drive so that I can play my itunes music via the sonos system, this works fine. However how do I get my playlists to play? Sonos manual and support tell me to copy the itunes music libary.xml file to the to the shared drive (NAS) where the music is stored. This I have done but still cannot play the playlists. Help. If I do get a reply can you make it simple with regard to computer speak. Thanks

Hi guys, I asked Sonos this very question and they came back with this:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Sonos Support. For Sonos to work, just 1 of our components need to be wired to your router/network. The other components will work wireless with the 1 wired component. Please make sure you have an Apple Express with at least 2 ethernet ports, because the Apple Express with one 1 port is incompatible.

After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone.
After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!)
Is there any way I can get my songs back?
When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
Thanks

I dowloaded a book to itunes and i can played but when I dowloaded to mi i pod nano 6 the file is wrong i tryed several times and do the same thing :( what can i do?

I dowloaded a book to itunes and i can play it BUT when I downloaded to my ipod it get the wrong file! I tryed deveral times and keep doing the same thing, how can i fix it? I apreciate your help.

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
If you do it via a different computer that it's not normally synced to then (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

How can I unlock the security so I cane play a song on my Sonos system?

I have a Sonos system that doesn’t play secret iTunes songs.
How can I unlock the security from the iTunes songs, so I cane play a song on my Sonos system?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Is it legal to remove DRM for use with a sonos system?

I have been asked by a client, to remove DRM from 2500 tracks brought from iStore. The music will only be used on his in-home Sonos system and won't be distributed to anyone else.
After a quick search around the net, I can't find a definitive answer about the legallity of this practice.
Help appreciated

According to the DMCA, it is illegal to remove the encryption without the copyright owners permission.
"to “circumvent a technological measure” means to descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner;"
In addition, the Terms of Service for these forums prevent discussions of it (since it is illegal).
