Airplay icon gone from iPad

My AirPlay icon has disappeared from my video player and I can't seem to get it back.  Suggestions?

True.  But the toys really aren't optional - they all make such perfect sense.  Who could go back to digging through 400 CD's on a rack, then playing them one at a time, on one set of speakers, in one room?  It's beautiful when it all works, but when it breaks, as it's wont to do, you're off troubleshooting instead of relaxing and listening.
Apple's got the right idea, though.  When everything has to hew to the same standards, things are a lot simpler than when it all *should* work, somehow, but doesn't, and no one's sure why not, and the help desk is in Bangalore with second-level backup God knows where, and it's another hour out of your life mostly waiting on hold.
Technology complexifies as it enriches.

  • Where has my airplay icon gone from my macbook?

    We have Apple TV, which we use regularly. But when attempting to go into it for the second time tonight, the icon has disappeared from both the Macbook and our iPhones. We've tried re-setting the Macbook Air and have also switched on and off the Apple TV box. Still nothing.

    Airplay is over the local network so internet speed is not relevant.
    If doing the network test on the device that will not be accurate. You need to go to istumbler or similar to get a network report, look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks.
    If on wifi try ethernet

  • 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.

    Hello jsimard,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215?viewlocale=en_US
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.
    If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon  , try one of the following steps:
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • HT4437 I cannot locate the AirPlay icon on my iPad and iPhone. What Can i do?

    My Apple tv is on, such as my iPhone and iPad..
    All devices are connected to the same network and able to upload / download normally.
    All good but the airplay icon.. There is no AirPlay icon on either iPad or iPhone?
    On top of this, until few days ago both devices where able to AirPlay to my apple tv...
    Basically I have no clou about what's going on and would be grateful for support...
    Thanks

    Solved.. I simply disconnected and connected again all devices from the wifi network. I already did earlier and did not work but now it did.
    Maybe is due to the sequence. Now I disconnected first iPad and iPhone and afterwards the apple tv. Then i connected again all devices but in reverse order.
    Thanks anyway.
    Regards,

  • Can't find AirPlay icon in new iPad

    can't find AirPlay icon in new iPad

    I was experiencing the same problem.  This is the solution I figured out:
    Check the wireless settings on your router.  Ensure the "Enable Wireless Isolation" is not selected.  If this is enabled, devices cannot talk to one another even if on the same network.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS1398 I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and then mysteriously disappeared. When I click the music icon there is an airplay icon top right which is fine for music, but I can't mirror anything e

    I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and i used it for a couple of weeks to mirror with the Apple TV and then it mysteriously disappeared. Now when I double click and slide the icons at the bottom to far left, instead of finding airplay there is an extra music icon and a music control panel. If I open up the music app, there is an airplay icon top right next to volume control which works fine with mirroring the Apple TV, which suggests to me wi-if and networks are fine. I can only mirror music however. Any ideas anyone?

  • Why is my iTunes icon gone from my phone?

    Why is my Itunes icon gone from my phone. I don't have it anymore.

    Check: Settings - General - Restrictions - iTunes = ???

  • Where has my airplay icon gone?

    Updating Apple TV seems to have locked out the airplay icon. My ipad and the Apple TV are both connected to the same network but no icon appears for enabling mirroring. Any suggestions please?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • 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.

  • Favorites icon gone from Oracle SQL Developer Help screen

    Favorites icon gone from Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 Help Center screen
    How do I get it back?
    In Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 I clicked
    Help->Table of Contents
    to bring ut the Help Center window.
    It the Help Center window I used to have a Favorites tab next
    to the Contents TAB on the left side of the window.
    I did an unpin some how and now I can't get the Favorites
    TAB back.
    On the right side there is a Star + icon that does
    Add to Favorites.
    I can add links to favorites but I have no way to go to these
    saved favorites anymore.
    How do I get the Favorites TAB/Icon back?
    Thanks

    Hi John,
    SQL Developer depends on JDeveloper code for the Help. After closing the Favorites tab I see no way to re-open it in the UI, so I imagine there may be a bug on the JDev side. Fortunately, there is a manual fix:
    In file product-preferences.xml
    In directory C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application Data\SQL Developer\system3.0.04.34\o.sqldeveloper.11.1.2.4.34
    use Notepad to look for the lines like:
          <value n="helpDynamicLinksNavigatorLocation" v="3"/>
          <value n="helpFavoritesNavigatorLocation" v="0"/>
    Just change the value "0" to "2"Regards,
    Gary
