Why can't I see the airplay icon in the music app or control centre on my Iphone 4 running ios7? I can see it in the movie app

I've seen something yesterday that says Airplay in control centre is only for Iphone 4S and onwards. It's frustrating when they take something away without any obvious reason. I'm going to change back to IOS6 until it's sorted out.
I also tried connecting to bluetooth and only once I'm connected does an icon show up in control centre. There's no direct way to connect to a device from control centre on the Iphone 4 from the looks of it.

  • HT204291 I have downloaded latest software to my Apple TV, but I am unable to get the airplay icon to display on either my iPhone5 or iPad2. Both have iOS7 installed. The Apple TV connects to the wifi successfully. Any ideas please?

    Can we assume you are bringing up the "Control Center" and the Airplay icon is not there?

    Do you have the "AirDrop" icon?

    Hello atef from egypt,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To help resolve this issue where your computer cannot connect to your AirPlay-enabled device, please follow the information outlined below.
    Wi-Fi Connection
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
    Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Ethernet Connection
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.

  • 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:

    Hi i currently cannot swipe up to get to the control centre on my iphone 4. So am unable to swith the do not disturb off therefore are unable to use my phone

    Do not disturb is also accesible in settings, so you may be able to temporarily avoid the issue by allowing calls from everyone and having it only silent while locked, or perhaps secheduling might work. Other than that, restarting your device may be an option.
    Is there any reason you know of that might be making you unable to access control center?

  • Blind user on iPhone 5S, voiceover on, can not see the Airplay icon in the Pandora app

    Blind user with an iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1 updated, have the Pandora app installed, and playing streaming music from the phone. My problem is that , while the Airplay icon is visible to a sighted person holding my phone, when I attempt to activate the Airplay icon - while using Voiceover - the phone doesn't seem to be able to "see" the Airplay icon, thus won't allow me to activate it. I have tried both methods of finding/accessing the Airplay icon, via the ""pushing up" of the volume bar, as well as trying to go tot he app-switcher and doing a left-to-right swipe x2 to get to the icon without positive result. The above worked just fine in my old iPhone 4S and iOS 6.X. So, what has changed, and what should I be doing differently? Thanks!

    Yes, under the Settings menu of my AppleTV, I have gone into AirPlay sub-menu and the AirPlay selection shows "ON", Onscreen Code is set to "OFF" and no Password is set up.
    I also have a Tick against the AppleTV listed under Speakers.
    Is there anything else I should do to enable AirPlay on the AppleTV or my iPhone?

  • HT204291 I can't find the airplay icon on my 2009 Macbook. What can I do

    I cant find the airplay icon on my 2009 macbook labtop. I know it is active because I can use it on my new macbook air. How can I find it on my old macbook.

    Both models of MacBook4.1 (13-inch Early and Mid 2008)
    are considered Vintage when running Mavericks 10.9.2.
    This means certain aspects of the hardware do not meet
    system requirements for the software to run on them.
    AirPlay, iCloud, and other things found varying support
    or lack thereof, between Lion, Mt Lion, and Mavericks.
    So it appears the Vintage stature affects yours this way.
    There may be detailed Support article topics about this subject
    among the OS X section: http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
    And I know I've read about this issue, as one based in hardware.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    The Airplay icon does not show on my Mac Pro, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?

    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.

  • Why do I not see the Airplay icon on any device?

    Hello everyone
    None of my Apple devices show the Airplay icon anymore.  The devices I have are :
    *  Apple TV 2nd Gen (MC572B/A - v5.3)
    *  MacBook Mid 2007 13-in running OS X Lion 10.7.5
    *  MacBook Late 2009 13-in running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    *  2x iPhone 4S (both running iOS 6.1.3)
    Other non-Apple devices are 2x 2013 Amazon Kindles, a PS3, Sky HD+ Box w/Wireless Receiver.
    I received my Apple TV in Christmas 2011 and I had not noticed a problem with Airplay until I got Sky in February 2013.  My network was running on WEP connection as both of the MacBooks had problems using WPA/WPA2 connections when initially setting up the Wifi a couple of years before.  It turned out that the Sky box would only play with a WPA connection.  It's from here that Airplay stopped working.  Previously we could use everything associated with Airplay - stream music from all devices, send pictures and video, and also stream content from iTunes to the Apple TV including films and TV Programmes.  Our Apple devices can now connect to the Internet using a WPA connection (the 2007 MacBook cycles for a long time but that is another issue) so this is not a problem, and it's worth noting that all of my non-Apple devices work absolutely perfectly and always have done (also including previous smartphones etc).
    I have tried the following solutions :
    *  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215 (Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring);
    *  Changing the DNS Servers (Unsuccessful);
    *  Restarting the Router (AirPlay icon showed for less than 15 minutes before disappearing again);
    *  Restarting Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
    *  Toggling AirPlay in Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
    *  Deleting the WiFi network in Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
    *  Deleting the WiFi network on my 2007 MacBook and manually adding it (Unsuccessful);
    *  Deleting the WiFi network on both iPhone 4S' (Unsuccessful);
    *  Removing the Firewall from my router (Unsuccessful);
    *  Changing the security options on my router (Unsuccessful);
    *  Powering off all devices and back on (Unsuccessful);
    *  NOTE : Home Sharing is turned ON and is visible on Apple TV;
    What else can I try that isn't listed?  A follow up question is if I bought an Airport Express (I don't want to tbh), would that immediately solve the lack of AirPlay and cycling issues?
    Thanks in advance

    Just to finish this discussion off, the issue was 100% the router firmware.  Please see the below, direct from the support pages of www.plus.net :
    The  585v8 v8.2.7.7 firmware is known to cause wi-fi connectivity problems with certain Apple computers. To fix this problem we recommend that you upgrade to v8.2.7.8 that features updated wi-fi drivers from the chipset manufacturer. No official upgrade tool exists for Apple computers so you may need to reflash the firmware using a Windows computer instead.
    I did this yesterday after borrowing a PC and it fixed all of the issues I was having - no Airplay icons, cycling for wifi networks, dropped connections - all of these righted themselves after a firmware update.
    The reason it wasn't the first thing tried was that I was under the impression that a) my router had up to date firmware as it wasn't clear on my ISP's website, and b) that my router firmware would have updated automatically as there was no option to update on my routers settings page.
    The WEP security issues were a bit of a red herring tbh.  When I first joined my ISP downgrading the security was the advice given after I experienced initial connection problems, but this was probably due to a lack of updated firmware at the time - the issues had to be related to security which would have been solved by an open network.  Obviously this is not ideal, so a WEP connection was a wobbly middle ground.
    Thanks for everyone's help.

  • HT204291 I had airplay with my ipad 2 and the apple tv before for a while. For some reason after a sync, i can no longer find the airplay icon on my ipad. Any idea why?

    I had been using airplay on my ipad2 mirror to my apple tv. Worked fine for a while.
    I sync and backed up my ipad yesterday and i could no longer see the airplay icon.
    Anybody know why and the solution please?

    Is your Apple TV "awake"?  Sometimes the AirPlay icon won't show for me if the Apple TV is sleeping - pressing a key on the Apple remote ususally resolves it.

    Reboot your router. The icon only shows when connected to wifi and Apple TV or similar device. Same thing happened with my phone and the icon appeared in control center after router reboot.
