    If your Mac, iPhone, or iPad isn’t detecting your Samsung TV, move a little closer and check again. [1] AirPlay works best when your Apple device is about 25–30 feet (7.6–9.1 m) from your TV. [2]
    • Don’t forget to double-check that both devices are turned on, too!
    • Too much distance between your device and your TV can also cause other problems, such as your TV playing audio but no video over AirPlay.

    Sometimes the passcode settings can stop working correctly between your Apple device and your Samsung TV, causing AirPlay to malfunction. If you think this might be the problem, try reconfiguring your TV’s passcode requirement. To do this: [12]

    • Select Apple AirPlay Settings .
    • Select Require Code and try adjusting the settings. You can either set it to require a code the first time you connect an iOS device, or to require a code every time. You can also set your own passcode if you don’t want to use a randomly generated one.
    • The code will be displayed on your Samsung TV screen, and you’ll need to enter it on your Apple device in order to activate AirPlay.
    • If adjusting the passcode settings doesn’t work, select Reset Paired Devices from your TV’s AirPlay settings menu. Then, try reconnecting your device to your TV.
