So I've been getting the "could not connect to AppleTV" error when trying to do airplay from my Mac. I went through all the troubleshooting advice that I could find out on the web but nothing fixed my issue. I recently discovered two interesting pieces to the puzzle.
1) If I try to screen share on Messages, I get audio only but I can't see the other persons screen.
2) If I use one of the other user accounts I have on this Mac, even using fast user switching, I am able to use both airplay and Messages screen sharing. There is clearly something broken with this user account.
I could create a new account for myself but that would be very difficult to get everything set back up since if I just replace the user folder I am likely to take the problem with me to the new account. I've tried repairing disk permissions with no luck. Any suggestions?
