AirPlay icon is not showing up on either of my ipads.

I just got Apple TV today. Was excited to use airplay and the icon does not show up on either of my iPads. I have looked through all of the troubleshooting. Everything is wirelessly connected to my same home Internet. All devices are updated, I rebooted both iPads and the router. It will work on iTunes on my desktop but not the iPads. I even turned off the fiirewall. I am super frustrated at this point for spending all of this money and it doesn't work!! Please help me if you can!!

Have you activated restrictions for the app in Settings/General/Restrictions?

    To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

  • The Airplay Icon is not showing up on My Taskbar After Upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Please help.  I have 2nd generation Apple TV and a 2011 Imac but the Airplay Icon will not show up on Taskbar after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

    Finally after trying to uninstall/reinstall (no luck!)
    I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.  iTunes 10.7   And I have a solution:
    If found a thread about IPv6.
    I followed the same directions on Windows 7 64 bit and it worked.
    Disable IPv6 on _all_ of your IP ethernet adapters. 
    That includes Virtual Machines (VMWare... yes those too), including IPv6 for wireless.
    Close iTunes.  Start iTunes.  Works.  Airplay Icon is back.
    It looks like All of the AirPlay devices may have to be re-setup.  At the very least rebooted.
    I found that I had to clompletely erase my DHCP addresses from my (non Apple) router.. and that fixed it.  Finally.
    Even though this is for the Mac... I believe they are onto something.   Original thread link:

    Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd gen apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions?

    How old is the MacBook Pro?  AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

  • HT204291 Airplay icon does not show up in itunes after upgrade to 11.1.3.8

    I upgraded my itunes to 11.1.3.8 and my airplay icon no longer shows up in itunes on my windows PC. it works from all of my other airplay devices ipad, iphone, and ipod.  I can't output to my apple tv from my PC. I have restarted my apple TV, my PC and itunes several times. 

    I'd try updating to version 11.1.5.5:

    If you're already at version 11.1.5.5 (or the update didn't help with the recognition trouble), try the procedure in Cerbu's post:

    ... or try section 5 from the following document:

  • Airplay Icon does not show in computer

    The aiplay icon does not show in the computer but it does show on itunes. My computer is a Macbook Pro, Retina Mid 2012, with a processor
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 and Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. My software is up to date and it is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). The software of my apple tv is already up to date. I already checked in system preferences and display and it doesn't show the icon to enable the airplay. My computer and TV are using the same wireless.

  • IOS 8.2 iphone 6 airplay icon does not show

    The tilte says it all:
    After updating to iOS 8.2 my Icons for AirPlay are no longer shown.
    I have 3 receivers in my house, none of them are shown. My Mac still shows them and I can play music to them.
    On the iPhone 6 nothing seems to work.
    What can I do? Is this an iOs 8.2 bug?

  • Airplay mirror imaging icon will not show up on my macbook pro even though i downloaded mountain lion. How do i get airplay icon to appear on my macbook pro?

    i have a macbook pro (almost positive that its a 2010 version) and i got mountain lion. The BIGGEST AND MAIN REASON i bought mountain lion was so that i can do airplay, allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my Apple TV. my whole computer is updated as far as the displays and newer features but the small airplay icon will not show up on the top of my screen. therefore, not allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my tv... it is connected to the same wifi as my apple tv. idk what to do. could it be because my macbook pro is a 2010? desprately looking for help...please help me with this issue
    thank you

  • HT1595 I am not able to connect from my laptop to airplay mirroring equipment, icon is not showing on my laptop.

    I am not able to connect from my laptop to airplay mirroring equipment, icon is not showing on my laptop. It does show when I hook up a HDMI wire to the apple TV box.

    I think you mean Ethernet, not HDMI wire. If the airplay icon is showing up when wired then that would indicate an issue with your wifi network.

  • HT204291 AirPlay Icon won't show up on 2012 MacBook Pro...

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro, Mid 2012, OSX, All Software up to date. Mac and Apple TV connected to same Wifi connection. But, the AirPlay Icon won't show up on my toolbar. I know it should work, as I have all the latest hardware. Totally frustrating. I tried using AirParrot, but the lagtime makes it not even worth the $10 I paid for it.1 Help!

  • HT201335 The airplay icon will not stay in my control bar!

    The airplay icon will not stay in my control bar and when activated and turned to mirroring nothing shows up on my tv.  I have airplay on, on my appleTV.  So I am out of ideas and I cannot find anything on here to help. I am using my iPad air and it along with my appleTV are all up to date.  I also just checked my iPhone 5 and it is not in the control bar as well.  I have even restarted the iPad and it will show up just long enough for me to turn it on but nothing shows on the tv and when I go back to the control bar it is gone.  I hope someone can help.

    Hey Thebassbuilder,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like the issue may reside with your Apple TV or network, since it is reproducible on two devices. To continue troubleshooting, I recommend the following articles:
