APPLE TV ISSUES

• Confirm you are connected to the same Pratt Wi-Fi network as the Apple TV

• Make sure the projector or display is set to the correct source

• Turn Wi-Fi off and back on on your device

• Wait a few seconds for the Apple TV to appear in the list

If there are issues with wireless connectivity, please contact support for assistance. While usually an easy fix, your best bet to get class up and running in an urgent situation is to use the hardwired HDMI/ USB-C Cable.
