AirPlay icon doesn't show up in menu bar
I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.1
I can use AirPlay and my 3rd gen Apple TV with itunes but the AirPlay icon won't show up in the menu bar.
I have ticked "Show mirroring options in the menu bar..." and both laptop and Apple Tv are on the same network. Apple TV software is up do date. But still no AirPlay icon in the menu bar.
What do I need to do to fix this?

I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but AirPlay the audio to my AirPort Express linked speakers. However the AirPlay icon isn't available when arching the rental video in iTunes. Is there another way? Do I need to but an AppleTV? I don't own a TV, hence why I want to watch on my MacBook Pro.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
With or without an Apple TV you can't send video to one device and audio to another using AirPlay. -

"if for some reason u have the icon in your task bar (the one with 2 arrows pointing in a circle) just go into mobile me pref...click sync...and uncheck box show status in menu bar."
I do not have the option box to "show status in menu bar"
I tried the free for a little while Mobile me, and didn't use it, so cancled. I cannot get the sync status roundabout arrows out of my status bar. AND, they keep trying to sync.
Another issue related with this is that during the time that I tried out Mobile me, I had my ical alarm set to go off every 2 hours. NOW my computer has an ical pop-up every 2 hours. I cannot find how to stop it.
Another issue, Yahoo is trying to sync with my computer and I have no idea why or where that one came from.
Can anyone out there help me please."if for some reason u have the icon in your task bar (the one with 2 arrows pointing in a circle) just go into mobile me pref...click sync...and uncheck box show status in menu bar."

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.

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:

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.

I have successffully used my iPad with the Apple TV with no problem but just recently, the Airplay icon doesn't come up on the iPad anymore when I'm trying to connect. What can I do to fix this?
Try restarting your router as a first thing, this sometimes works for me.

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!

Charging Icon doesn't show up (completely) when attempting any kind of charge (computer, plug, car)
When plugged in my charing icon doesn't show the lighting bolt to verify charging. The battery itself just stays at the very low red icon. Any help out there?
Hiya!
Failing that, you can try plugging the phone into the charger, with it ON and still plugged in... remove the battery. leave it out for a minute and then reinsert it.
