Who would have thought we would carry a smartphone device in our pockets? And watch videos on those smartphones! And replicate the screen of our smartphones on our Smart TVs! Having a weekend movie marathon, or planning to binge-watch your favorite series in the evening, screen mirroring technology can change your experience by casting your device on the big screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an Apple user, you must be familiar with its AirPlay feature. But many people are not aware that the AirPlay feature is now available in many reputed Smart TV brands like LG, Samsung, Sony, etc. Hence, you can easily mirror your Apple device with your Smart TV. AirPlay is a great way that you can use to stream audio and video from iPhone, iPad, or Mac to a TV screen wirelessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My friend owns an LG Smart TV and casts endless content from his iPhone to his TV screen using the AirPlay feature.

The problem may lie with your internet connection, LG TV, or the host device. Following a systematic approach to resolve the issue with your LG Smart TV Airplay, it is easy to troubleshoot the problem of<strong> LG AirPlay not working<\/strong>. In this section, we will talk about some of these troubleshooting steps. I am sure one of these methods will help you resolve the issues related to your device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Ensure That Both Your Devices Are Connected To The Same Internet Connection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/182.jpg\" alt=\"Ensure That Both Your Devices Are Connected To The Same Internet Connection\" class=\"wp-image-4973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/182.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/182-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/182-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/182-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>AirPlay is an easy feature to use for screen mirroring. All that you need is an Apple device, a small TV with AirPlay installed, and an internet connection. In order to mirror your iOS or Mac device to LG TV, you must ensure that both your devices are connected to the same wi-fi connection. If both the devices are not connected to the same internet connection, using the AirPlay feature to mirror your screen will either not happen or be a troublesome process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Power Cycle Your Internet Connection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/183.jpg\" alt=\"Power Cycle Your Internet Connection\" class=\"wp-image-4974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/183.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/183-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/183-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/183-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>  In the current times of Smart Technology, having an inconsistent internet connection can be a nightmare. If you have a poor internet network, it is sure to face the issue of <strong>LG TV not showing up on AirPlay<\/strong>. You can check your internet speed on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fast.com\">www.fast.com<\/a> to see if your internet connection is slow or inactive. I recommend power cycling your wifi router to restart the internet connection and resolve network-related issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#x2019;s how you can power cycle your wifi router,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Unplug your wifi router and the modem from the power outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Wait for about 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Replug the modem first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Wait for 1-2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Power on the router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6: <\/strong>Test the internet connection once all the panel lights on your modem turn green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After power-cycling your wifi router, mirror your Apple device screen to your LG TV to see if the issue of <strong>AirPlay not working on the LG TV<\/strong> is resolved. Else, try the following method to troubleshoot your Smart TV AirPlay feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Disable And Enable Your AirPlay On Your LG TV<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/179.jpg\" alt=\"Disable And Enable Your AirPlay On Your LG TV\" class=\"wp-image-4970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/179.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/179-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/179-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/179-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The restart fix may sound like a make-shift fix, but many quora users swear by this fix. I, too, recommend users try disabling and enabling the AirPlay feature on their LG Smart TV. Turn off and on solutions work as a temporary fix for almost connectivity issues like AirPlay, Bluetooth, or the internet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your LG Smart TV is new, ensure activating the AirPlay feature on your LG Smart TV as there is a possibility that the feature is not activated on your TV already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the steps to reset the AirPlay settings on your LG Smart TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Press the <strong>Home <\/strong>button on your LG Smart TV remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Go to <strong>Home Dashboard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Navigate through the menu and select <strong>AirPlay <\/strong>to view AirPlay settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Turn the AirPlay feature on if it is turned off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> If the AirPlay feature is on, turn it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Wait for 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Turn on the AirPlay feature on your LG TV again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This troubleshooting method will fix any minor issues related to AirPlay on your LG TV and should help you mirror your iOS screen on the LG TV. If you are still unable to mirror the screen on your LG TV, follow the steps given in the next fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

If screen mirroring disconnects on your LG TV often, I recommend ensuring that the Sleep Timer on your LG TV is turned off. When my friend faced the issue of AirPlay not connecting to his LG TV, he realised that he had the sleep timer activated on his Smart TV and resolved the problem upon disabling the sleep mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#x2019;s how,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Press the <strong>Menu <\/strong>button on your LG TV remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Select the <strong>Time <\/strong>option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Choose the <strong>Sleep Timer<\/strong> option<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Turn off the Sleep Timer if it is turned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 5: Confirm your selection and select <strong>Exit<\/strong>.<br>Once you turn the feature off, try mirroring your iOS screen to the LG Smart TV. If you still run into the same problem of <strong>AirPlay being unable to connect to LG TV, <\/strong>you will have to try another way to resolve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

Power cycling your LG Smart TV is the same as soft-resetting your TV, wherein you turn off and on your TV to restart it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the steps to power cycle or soft-reset your LG Smart TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Turn on your LG TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Hold the power button on the LG TV for about 10 seconds until it completely turns off the TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Wait for about 1 minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Turn on your LG Smart TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power cycling your LG TV will force stop the functions and applications and rule out minor issues with your Smart Tv.

To test if the firewall is the cause of the issue you are facing, disable the firewall and grant the access manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the steps to change the firewall settings on your Mac or MacBook,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Go to the <strong>Security And Privacy<\/strong> option on your Mac or MacBook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Look for the<strong> Firewal<\/strong>l option and click on <strong>Padlock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Provide your <strong>Admin Password<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Enable &#x2018;Automatically Allow Built-in Software to Receive Incoming Connections.&#x2019;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this does not allow AirPlay to mirror the screen on your LG Smart TV, disable the firewall and attempt mirroring. If you still have no good luck, the last resort is to factory reset your LG TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10.

Can I mirror the screen on my LG TV without AirPlay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211;<\/strong> If your LG TV is not compatible with Airplay, or the Airplay feature is not working on your Smart Tv, it may still be possible to mirror your phone screen with the TV using a lightning-to-HDMI adapter. A lightning-to-HDMI adapter is a device that lets you connect your iPhone\/iPad directly to your Smart TV using an HDMI cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. My LG TV was manufactured in 2016. Is it compatible with AirPlay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211;<\/strong> If you own an LG TV model from 2018 or later, your Smart TV will have a built-in AirPlay feature. However, if your LG Smart TV model is older than 2018, you will not have access to the AirPlay feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. I am facing an issue of ESPN AirPlay not working on LG TV while the rest of the applications work perfectly. How do I fix the issue?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211;<\/strong> To fix the issue, try clearing the caches on your ESPN application. If you are still unable to AirPlay ESPN on your LG Smart TV, uninstall the app on your device and then reinstall it. Once that app is reinstalled, you should no longer face this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AirPlay is a great feature in Apple devices as it allows mirroring your device screen in an effortless manner.
