I understand that you are having trouble casting from your Mac to your TV. Let’s go through some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve this issue.
1. Check that your AirPlay-compatible devices are turned on and near each other. Make sure both your Mac and your TV are powered on and within range of each other. Sometimes, a weak Wi-Fi signal can cause connectivity issues, so ensure that your devices are close enough for a strong connection.
2. Verify that both devices are updated to the latest software. Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues. On your Mac, go to the Apple menu and select “System Preferences.” Then, click on “Software Update” to check for any available updates. On your TV, consult the manufacturer’s instructions or settings to update the software.
3. Ensure that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. AirPlay and screen mirroring require both devices to be connected to the same network. Check your Mac’s Wi-Fi settings by clicking on the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar. On your TV, navigate to the network settings and verify that it is connected to the same network as your Mac.
4. Try restarting the devices that you want to use with AirPlay or screen mirroring. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Turn off your Mac and TV, wait for a few seconds, and then turn them back on. After restarting, try casting from your Mac to your TV again.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, there may be other factors at play. It could be a compatibility issue between your Mac and TV, or there might be a problem with your Wi-Fi network. In such cases, it may be helpful to consult the user manuals or support resources for your specific devices, or reach out to the manufacturers for further assistance.
I hope these steps help you resolve the issue and enable you to cast from your Mac to your TV.
