Is it possible to make devices “forget” Apple TV? I have reset my Apple TV, and now it’s listed as Apple TV(2) even though its name is set to “Apple TV”.

  • Where exactly? Could you clarify a little more? – jherran Nov 29 '14 at 17:39
  • Basically everywhere. My Mac, iPhone and iPad, they all list this TV as Apple TV(2). I know I can rename the TV, but that's not the point. Screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/Iyip5 – user2753480 Nov 30 '14 at 08:01

Swipe up, select air play Apple TV, Turn Off Air Play Mirring, then select Apple TV. It sounds too simple, but it worked for me. Hope this helps.

It's not possible. Airplay devices work like wifi networks: when it's needed, the iDevice scans to check what is available in range. There is no option regarding Airplay: it just appears when you are close enough to a capable device.
