Airplay icon disappears on tune after updated to 10.2.2

Please help
Thanks

Just to be clear you don't have to be on the same WiFi but *the same network (be it wired or wireless)*.
For example my iMac is wired to a router (so no WiFi) that is wired (bridged) to another router that serves as a WiFi access point as well, my Apple TV is on WiFi and my iPhone/iPad is on the same WiFi, too.
They can "talk" to each other without any issues because they are all on the same network, sharing the same IP pool via the same DHCP server.
Example:
1. My router's DHCP server is on and set to assign IP addresses between 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.150 to devices
2. The router's IP address (gateway address) is 192.168.0.1
3. Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
As long as *ALL devices use these settings* it does not matter if they are wired or connected wirelessly.
I think it is important to understand this

Airplay icon disappears after I click 'Play'

My Airplay icon disappears from my iTunes window whenever I click play. I usually stream music from iTunes on my Mac Book Air to an Airport Express connected to my stereo. It's been about a week since I last played music to the stereo, and I can't get it to work.
Symptoms:
- When I click 'play' in iTunes main window, the Airplay icon disappears.
- 'Remote' will not play to the Express. The icon also disappears from view after clicking play.
- If I switch to the mini-player after launching iTunes, I can play to the Express. Returning to main window and clicking play causes icon to disappear. Quitting ater selecting Airplay from mini player and relaunching iTunes has no effect; the icon disappears from main view once I click play.
Things I've tried:
- Soft restart on base station and express
- Pulled the plug from base station and express, waited a few minutes, then powered up
- turned 'Enable Airplay' off (update), then on again (second update) on the express
- Restarted my Mac
- Turned on/off home sharing in iTunes
- Cursed and listened to local radio stations
Software/Hardware:
Mac OSX 10.9.2
iTunes 11.1.5 (5) 64bit
Airport Utility 6.3.2
Mid-2011 MacBook Air 11", i7
Airport Extreme (2007/8?)
Airport Express (bought 12/13)

Hi Griff, thanks for the links.
I started my day this morning by shutting down my MBA for a few minutes. This seems to have fixed the problem. Because the previous restarts didn't have an effect, I'm wondering if the cause may have been related to a hardware cache (?) of some sort. I've been using screen shares (Skype, WebEx, GoToMeeting) alot recently, which may have something ot do with this. I read elsewhere that the disappearing icon is frequently related to a network problem.
In anycase, I can listen to *my* music tongiht.

HT5922 Airplay icon in i-Tunes!

The airplay icon in i-Tunes has disappeared! It's been there and worked fine for the last two years! Tried lotsa recommendations including updating i-Tunes, uninstalling/reinstalling, checking to see if i-Tunes and receiver (Yamaha RX-V673) are connected to the same router, etc., etc. Anyone have any idea what may have happened?!!! THANKS!!!

Hello JayDV,

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...

Airplay Icon Disappears

HT204291 AirPlay icon disappeared. Have tried EVERYTHING. Help!

Hello all. We have had ATV for about three months. At first all worked fine and we were able to use AirPlay on our ipads and iphone 5. Then, about a month later, all AirPlay icons disappeared.
I understand this is a common problem. In the last few days we have tried rebooting our devices, the ATV, and our wi-fi router. Nothing has worked. I have also tried changing the language on my phone, and back again...to no effect.
All of our devices and the ATV are up to date with systems and updates.
We need help! Everything else works on the ATV. It's AirPlay which is the problem. It's switched on on the ATV, and all of our devices are on the same wi-fi.
What's going on? HELP!

There is no answer.
Remote App stopped working here also. ATV2 works one out of 10 times so forget that. Airplay played once and stopped yesterday. I can only reboot routers and devices and reset homesharing so many times. I give up. Getting a Roku.

You can only purchase apps and other media for the county's sore in which yu are located. You account, included payment method, also must be associated with that country.
Sam applies for updating apps. Note that not all apps are available in all country so y will not be able to update an app if you are in another country and that app is not available in that country or your account is not associated with that country.
You can change the country and other things by:

Every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes

every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes or i get an error when i try to use it
do you know why and how to solve this problem?

Hi Colin,
A couple of things you can try:
Open System Preferences and click on Network. Click on the small gear icon below the list of connections and select Set Service Order. Move your AirPort connection up to the top of the list so it will be first in line when your computer searches for connections. (It's probably looking for ethernet connections first..the normal default..and finding none, it then looks for wireless. This takes time.
Click on your AirPort connection again to highlight it and then click Advanced in the lower right of the pane. Make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list. Delete other networks that you don't need.
Finally, make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember any network this computer has joined".
See if one of these actions will help.

HT204291 Airplay icon disappeared on my devices

My Airplay icon disappeared when my video froze on my TV while using my Apple TV. Not sure what happened or what to do.

You might try restarting your device, your router and your Apple TV.

My apple iphone airplay button doesnt pop up after update

my apple iphone airplay button doesnt pop up after update. can anyone help?

Okay... some how I got out of a previous posting that Wi-Fi was not working.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried? What about a reset or restart of the AppleTv?

Airplay icon disappears from iTunes when I connect a third idevice

I own an iPad 2, an iPhone 4 and Iphone 4S. After a clean install of itunes, Airplay works well. When I plug in first 2 devices (no matter which one and in what order), everything works well for several days with several reboots of PC. When I decided to connect the third device, Airplay still works but after rebooting the PC, the icon disappears completely! However I always see my 3 devices in sync by WiFi.
I made the test twice by changing the order of connections between devices, and the result is the same: Airplay works with 2 connections but no more after the third’s?
Windows 7 64bits and iTunes is up to date.

Gray inactive app icon without app name after update iOS 8.1

Hi! I want to report you about one issue on my iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1)
Problem appears at next case:
1. Open App Store, when there is new version of any app.
2. Tap "update" button.
3. Close App Store, scroll to page with updating app.
4. There's no progress indicator on icon of app, instead it appears second icon of this app with this indicator and without app name.
5. When update is complete, second icon become gray and inactive - see screenshot (first icon works correctly and opens updated app). This second gray icon disappears after reboot device or reinstall app.
I've met this problem twice: on iOS 8.0 (with Instagram app) and on iOS 8.1 (with Twitter app). Automatic downloads is off.
Can you give me some advice to solve this issue? Thank you.

Airplay Icon Disappears on iPhone

Step one: I updated my Apple TV software to the new update.
Step two: I updated my wife's iPhone 4 to the new software.
Step three: I updated my iPhone 4 to the new software.
Step four: I played with the new features, streamed a few songs and pictures to the Apple TV. Spent a few minutes lamenting the absence of streaming homemade videos...
Step five: Showed wife the features on HER phone. She navigated to a photo in her photos, pressed the Airplay icon.... Nothing happens. After a couple moments of nothing happening, we switch to a song...no icon. I pick up my phone to show her how mine works...no icon.
Any guesses? I have restarted the phones multiple times. Still not working.

Just to be clear you don't have to be on the same WiFi but *the same network (be it wired or wireless)*.
For example my iMac is wired to a router (so no WiFi) that is wired (bridged) to another router that serves as a WiFi access point as well, my Apple TV is on WiFi and my iPhone/iPad is on the same WiFi, too.
They can "talk" to each other without any issues because they are all on the same network, sharing the same IP pool via the same DHCP server.
Example:
1. My router's DHCP server is on and set to assign IP addresses between 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.150 to devices
2. The router's IP address (gateway address) is 192.168.0.1
3. Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
As long as *ALL devices use these settings* it does not matter if they are wired or connected wirelessly.
I think it is important to understand this

HT5922 Airplay Icon Disappeared

Can someone please help???
I have an ipad 2 and an Iphone 4S that I used to use all the time with my Apple TV through Airplay, Now I have recently Updated the software on all devices and the Airplay Icon seems to have disappeared I have tried all the troubleshooting ideas to no avail!!! My sister also uses the airplay so I borrowed her ipad but when I tried her ipad with my AppleTV the icon on her ipad had also disappeared can anyone please HELP!!!
Thanks so much in advance.

Are all devices connected to the same network? Do not assume, confirm.
Some routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless networks. Some routers even create seperate networks for the 2.4G and 5G wireless networks. All devices must be on the same network, so either connect them all to the same 2.4G wireless or turn off the feature in the router that seperates the networks.

Airplay icon disappearing

The airplay icon on my iphone, ipad or imac keeps vanishing. If i reset my ATV2 and set it up from new the icon appears. But after a few minutes it disappears again. The ATV2 is still connected to my wifi and I can view movie trailers, see MLBtv etc so I know the wifi is working. This has been going on for over 12 months now so I had given up trying and just stopped using my ATV2. It work fine on my BT homehub but when i changed routers it started playing up. I have since changed routers 2 more times but it still won't work using airplay. Any thoughts?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
