Airplay button gone from itunes

I have an apple tv 3rd gen running software 6.0 and I have lost my airplay button on itunes software 11.1 a couple of days ago. I can air play from my iphone 4s and my ipad 3rd gen both running ios 7 but not from my windows 7 pc. All devices are on the same network and show up in my router under devices. I have restarted my computer, apple tv, and router to see if this fixes my problem with no luck. Has anyone run in to this and/or have suggestions?

I'm not sure what fixed mine, but I did the following:
Uninstalled all itunes software (inc. bonjour, apple mobile device, etc)
Restart computer
Install itunes again
Restart computer
Airplay was still not there
Switched back and forth to mini player a couple times.
Airplay icon returned to the main player.
I tried the mini player several times before uninstalling itunes, and it didn't work.

TS2972 the airplay button disappeared from itunes

while using itunes to play music to my apple tv I had accidentally hit computer and the airplay icon on the bottom of itunes disappeared and I have not been able to access my library on my apple tv since.

Weird, but I also though it was gone -- until I saw that it is a different, weird icon now. Look in the same spot for an icon that looks more like a square and triangle. Click on it and you'll get the Airplay functionality. Still -- why did they change it???

Airplay button gone on iPhone 5s

I have a iPhone 5s and an Apple TV and have used airplay to play iTunes through my TV, but this morning the airplay button disapeard from the control center on my iPhone. Instead of having airdrop and airplay on the same line as it has been in the past, the airplay button is gone and the whole line is used by the airdrop button. I am using iOS 7.0.2. Any thoughts?

Have you checked to see if the media files are still on the computer? See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
Genious Sidebar
I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.
Airplay Icon Missing from Itunes on PC
I can hit my Airplay devices such as Apple TV and Zeppelin Air with iPads, iPods, and iPhones. Just not from the PC Console where is previously enjoyed it the most. So I know the devices are fine. They are all on the same physical wired and wireless network. Even when I put the Zeppelin on the wired LAN there is no Airplay icon in iTunes on the PC.

Hi. just want to tell you i had the same problem Ipad--->tv working ok iphone---->tv also working ok pc home sharing not working and airplay icon in itunes 11.0.2.26 is missing. iam running windows 7 64bit

AND THER SHE WAS fiew windows updates uninstalled and icon is back in itunes
Now i can not remember what Update it was KB28 ..... something i didnt wright it down at the time i hope this will help someone.

When I did the upgrade it resulted in a factory reset. Now all of my ringtones are gone from iTunes. Anyone have a solution?

When I did the upgrade it resulted in me having to do a factory reset because it was pausing for long periods of time. It went through the backup and all other steps but now all of my ringtones are gone from iTunes, thus the phone. I tried to redownload one I had purchased and it made me purchase it again (I did this as a test), and it said I had purchased it before but still required me to purchase again.
Anyone have a solution/thoughts/help?

Command + Z undoes the last action you did, did you just move those files into that folder?
Use Spotlight to search for the files, or look for them in their original location(s).

My podcast appears to have gone from iTunes

My podcast was working fine for the last 12 months. Yesterday I was contacted by a friend to ask where it's gone from iTunes. I can't find it anywhere now. Here are the URLs:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/swfuk-podcast/id886088578?mt=2
http://swfukpodcast.podbean.com/
I have checked with an RSS feed validator which suggest all is fine. All help very much appreciated

In fact your feed is at http://swfukpodcast.podbean.com/feed/
Your podcast does appear to have been removed from the Store: when this happens an email is sent, so it may havew gone missing or been spam-trapped. It's difficult to see what could cause removal - the only thing which occurred to me is that they might have taken exception to the opening music on copyright grounds: it sounds as if you made it yourself - at any rate it's apparently computer generated, not the soundtrack, but of course the music itself is copyright and shouldn't have been used without clearance. I'm assuming that, since the 'explicit' tags are 'clean' that there is no strong or sexual language in the episodes.
It's often difficult to get a response on this subject from the Store staff, but the address to contact them on is podcasts 'at' apple.com - 'getsupport' is unlikely to help since they are geared to the actual application rather than podcast contents.

I downlaoded the latest iTunes version and now my Podcasts are gone from iTunes on my computer. Where can I access them on iTunes on my computer?

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my computer, and now my Podcasts are gone from iTunes (on my computer). Can I still access Podcasts in iTunes (on my computer) ? (I see the latest Podcasts downloading, but can't find them in iTunes. What am I overlooking?)

Could be since it (security software) is listed as #5 in the following:

Airplay icon disappears from iTunes

Hi,
I recently bought an Airport Express (last generation) to be able to hear my iTunes music collection on my stereo. The Airport Express is connected to my home router via ethernet cable (WiFi is disabled) and is configured to only work as an Airplay device. It works flawlessly from my iPhone and iPad, either using the builtin iOS music app, Spotify, or any other app that supports Airplay.
But that's not the case with iTunes on my PC (Windows 8.1). The Airplay icon keeps disappearing from iTunes and the only way I can get it back is by disconnecting the ethernet cable from the Airport Express and connecting it again. There are two situations where the Airplay icon disappears. One is if I put the computer to sleep. When it wakes up the Airplay icon is gone and I can't get it back unless I disconnect the ethernet cable (or reset the Airplay). But sometimes I'm hearing some music via PC, then switch to Spotify on the iPad, and when I get back to the PC the Airplay icon turns orange and I can't connect to the Airport Express. Then it disappears. It doesn't always happen.
I've already tried every solution that I read in these forums but nothing works. I've disabled the windows firewall, disabled IPv6, configured the Airport Express with a fixed IP address, etc. etc. Nothing seems to work. The only thing I haven't tried is connecting my PC and Airpor Express via WiFi to the router, because my PC is a desktop and doesn't have an WiFi card. Right now it is connected via ethernet cable to the same router as the Airport Express, so it shouldn't be a problem, I guess.
Can anyone please give me any advice? I'm really frustrated, because having to disconnect the network cable from the Airport Express every time I turn on my computer so I can hear to some music is very annoying.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Pedro

Hello, I have this exact same problem -- Airport Express bought Feb. 2014 (not sure of firmware version?) Windows 8 PC, multiple iPads, iPhones in home. Wireless provider Comcast in S.F. Bay Area (using their Xfinity modem / router) extremely reliable and very fast for 10+ years.
Every few days Airport Express icon in iTunes on Windows PC turns orange and requires PC reboot. Upon reboot, streaming music works fine. Have also tried all other fixes found on Support forums, etc.
On iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4S and both iPad 2s Airport Express icon is always available and always seems to work fine.
Strangely enough, after replacing iPhone 3GS with iPhone 5s (yesterday!), Airport Express was not available on new iPhone, but after quick reboot of Airport Express, new iPhone was able to stream music...
Windows 8, iTunes, etc. updated w/ latest versions, etc.
Definitely a pain having to re-boot PC every few days to re-connect to Airport Express...

I've got music on my 4s that I can't get out of my phone. I've deleted it from ITunes and tried to manually and automatically remove (sync) and it won't come out of my phone It's gone from ITunes

Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
You need to put the files into itunes.
Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

Sync Notes option GONE from iTunes after ML Update?!?

I upgraded to Mountian Lion
Now in iTunes, under the 'Info' tab for my iPhone, I can no longer see the 'Sync Notes on this iPhone with Notes on this Computer' option.
The checkbox & heading has COMPLETELY gone.
I'm assuming this has something to do with ML now having a native Notes.app but this is of no use to me.
The bulk of my notes on my iPhone were created before iCloud existed. And so they belong to the account 'On my Phone'. So even when turning on iCloud syncing for notes on the iPhone, these old notes do not transition to iCloud (A well known flaw amoungst many users I've seen on here).
Does anyone know how else to Sync notes from an iPhone to a Mac running ML?
Once on the Mac, I can simply turn on iCloud syncing for Notes on the Mac, then drag & drop the Notes from 'On my Mac' to 'iCloud'.
So has anyone else noticed the Sync notes option dissapear from iTunes after upgrading to ML?

I did what you just said (drag & drop) and ALL of my notes dissapeared off ALL of my devices AND iCloud!!!. Fortunately I had backed up my iPhone 4 iOS 6 and still have all my notes in the iTunes backup file. I restored that file (including my notes) and as soon as phone restarted, it re-synced with the empty iCloud Notes and notes disappeared again from my phone. This is absolutely REDICULOUS!!! And I'm still using Lion with latest iTunes update so I still have Sync Notes option in iTunes, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!!! Somebody at Apple has been drinking WAY too much.

Application gone from iTunes

My Favorite Todo Application (Touchtodo) disappeared from iTunes about a week ago. It was a $1.99 ap and I use it a lot. My concern is if I ever have to reload it, as it's no longer there. There seems to be no updated forum for support, does anybody have any ideas about this or if it's temporary?

First off, back it up to a safe location (the app is in your iTunes Library/Mobile Applications folder).
Probably no one on these boards will know why it's gone or if it's temporary, but the developer might. Try contacting them:

Airtunes option gone from iTunes - help

have used airtunes for years, no problems whatsoever. all of a sudden the drop down option for remote speakers in itunes has gone and i cant get it back...
- airport has always been set up to join an existing network
- i reset the airport using a paperclip, then used the setup assistant to redo the settings
- when i tell it to join existing network and update i can no longer see it in the airport admin utility
- the lights on the express suggest it has joined the existing network, i.e. if i tun my access point router off then the light on the express flashes amber
things that recently changed
- updated to itunes 7.6
anyone have any suggestions
jb

Hi,
Same problem but waaaaaay more frustrating
Remote speakers (AirTunes) are missing from iTunes after every reboot now.
I have tried almost everything I can think of.
1) The speakers sometimes reappear during repair permissions.
2) I changed the Dlink DI-624 router channel to 1, the speakers reappeared, but gone again after reboot.
3) I turned off "look for remote speakers" in iTunes advanced preferences
and quit iTunes, and turned them back on again and restarted itunes again and the speakers were there, but gone again after reboot.
etc, etc.
It seems that these solutions don't work again when I try them the next time.
The green light is always on the Airport express,
If the issue was range or dropouts, then I am assuming that it would not stay green
The airport express cannot be freezing up either because without resetting it, it does sometimes come back with a ton of fiddling.
If i unplug it and plug it back in the router logs say that it successfully authenticates to the network (WPA) and gets an IP lease. so it seems to be fine from that end of things
I blame leopard 10.5.2 and itunes 7.6 right now
sooooooo frustrated right now

All music gone from iTunes and when trying to put it back, "Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. The disk could not be read or written to."

Hello,
I have a portable 500gb HD and I use it to put music and other stuff.
Earlier, out of the blue, all of my music from iTunes disappeared, and I tried to put it back by dragging my folder "music" from the external HD to iTunes, but the message "Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. The disk could not be read or written to." appears and nothing happens. Only 40 albums (the same ones every time) go into iTunes before the message appear.
I tried restarting the computer and nothing happened.

This sounds more like a hardware issue, possibly a failing drive if you had mysteriously vanishing files and there are problems writing to your drive.. You could get better support on a forum for your Mac model or at lest one for your operating system version. Have you verified the disk with Disk Utility to see what it reports?
