AirPlay icon is missing from iMac

I just bought a brand new iMac and apple tv 3rd gen. I have managed to connect my 2 iPads and iPhones to AirPlay through my wifi no dramas. The airplay icon is also on my iMac iTunes. Problem is the icon is missing from the top menu so I can't mirror the iMac screen. I've read through the forums and found nothing to help. Why can I connect with everything else, iTunes on my iMac but not mirror it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!:)!

Solved!
I assumed I had the latest version of lion since I bought the system couple of days ago. (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4)
I was wrong, redeemed my code for a free upgrade to Mac OS X 10.8 and all works perfect
Good luck

  • HT204291 Since updating to OSX Mavericks, my airplay icon is missing

    Since updating to OSX Mavericks my airplay icon is missing from my IMac (3.06GHZ).  However, it is present and working completely appropriately on my Macbook Pro with Retina display.  Both have the same OSX, Apple TV is fully updated.  I have reset my computers, appleTV, routers, iTunes multiple times, but it's just my IMac that is having the problems displaying the Airplay icon.  Not sure what else can be done or why one computer works while the other doesn't when the settings are otherwise the same.  Airplay worked on it without problem before the patch.

    1) open control panel.
    2)Choose Network and internet
    3)Select the VIEW NETWORK STATUS TASKS under NETWORK and SHARING CENTER section
    4) Choose the active network connection. It is usually name " wireless Network Connection 1" or something similiar.
    5) Click the properties button
    6) If the Internet PROTOCOL VERSION 6(TCP/IPv6) is checked, uncheck it, then click OK.
    7) Click CLOSE
    8) Restart iTunes and try to use the Home Sharing feature again.

  • IPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis

    As stated, iPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis. My iPad was new as of Xmas day. I have NOT synced to iTunes (I don't want to at this time) and I have NOT upgraded the software to iOS 5.0.1 (still on 5.0).
    I have downloaded about twenty apps; five of which cost money from Apple's app store.
    I don't get it. This is a new device that I have been using for less than ten days for only an hour or two a day; I don't believe new purchasers of iPads should be having to contend with icons going missing (icons take turns disappearing when swiping back and forth between the pages of app icons, the names of icons remain, however).
    I have re-booted the iPad. At first the icons all reappear and all seems well until about an hour of usage of opening up various apps and using them, and then the problem re-appears. I have done this three times now, and have resorted to just contending with the problem as the apps will still launch and they run fine, it is just that the full icon doesn't appear (only the name of the app and a missing icon above the name of the app):
    I am thinking the cause could be due to one of two problems/issues, but wonder what others' thoughts are.
    1). Glitchy App. If it is due to a glitchy app (and does not Apple test these apps before giving the all -clear to be downloaded from the Apple app store?), how best to figure out which one it is?
    2) Glitchy OS (iOS 5.0). If this is due to a glitchy 5.0 iOS, is there no other choice than to upgrade to 5.0.1? I really do not want to do that just yet unless it is necessary. [And if it is necessary, would Apple really release a glitchy iOS knowing ahead of time it had problems? Seems strange....]
    Anyone got any ideas or have been experiencing the same issue (is it a known issue)?

    And if you restore as new, you can re download the apps for free as long as you are using the same apple id. 
    If it was a single bad app, you would have said so.  If it was a common problem with the os, it would have been reported by a zillion users. 
    I think your os got corrupted. ( potentially from a bad app, or maybe just gremlins). It is a new machine, just start over.  Reload the apps in small groups so that if it is a bad app, you can narrow the issue down.

  • The airplay icon has disappeared from my desk top. It was there two weeks ago, so I can't watch movies I've downloaded from iTunes and flick them over to my TV.

    The airplay icon has disappeared from my MAC desktop. It was there two weeks ago when I successfully used it to 'flick a movie i had purchased from iTunes over to my tv. Also, if I rent the movie through iTunes, why (because of the above issue) when I go to 'Purchased' it doesn't display as an option when actually using Apple TV, it doesn't display but when I go to rent it again a message comes up saying "you have already rented this movie, do you want to rent it again"? Frustrated!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...
    We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
    Oh John....  Oh Marsha.....

  • File icons are missing from my ML desktop. Name is there but the icon is missing.  How do I fix this?

    Some of my file icons are missing from the Mountain Lion desktop.  The file name is there but not the icon.  The file can be opened when the words are double clicked.  The files show up properly in Adobe Bridge.  These are Photoshop files.  How do I fix the problem?

    Get Info (cmd-i) on one of these files. In the "Open with" tab is PS selected?
    If that's so it may be some corruption LaunchServices.These are only cache files but can get corrupted.
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
    (EDIT: Be sure to copy the entire line of code it is a slider)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    (IOS 7 update trouble) My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
    Or do what hannahsage said above.

  • All my icons are missing from the Menu bar.. help!

    Hi everyone,
    Today I noticed that all my icons are missing from the right hand side of my screen. There is no Wifi, Bluetooth, clock, or Spotlight! How does this happen?!?
    Does anyone have any solutions?
    Thanks, Timmay

    Hi
    One reason for this behaviour is installing a Front Row hack that lets you run Front Row on an unsupported Mac. If this applies to you see Dr. Smoke's Uninstalling the Front Row hack FAQ.

  • HT203167 My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install?

    My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install? You can't delete it so where is it?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Itunes radio icon is missing from my music app on my ipod touch 5. how do i get it back?

    Itunes radio icon is missing from my music app on my ipod touch 5. how do i get it back?

    If you are in the USA (iTunes Radio is only USA now)
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    It worked for others

  • Our Podcast Icon is missing from iTunes - please help

    Our podcast icon is missing from our Feed. Please can someone help us figure out what could be causing this.
    Here is the URL to our Podcast Image
    Here is the link to our Original Source Feed:
    PODCAST: http://www.modtvnetwork.com/podcasts/modtv/modtv_podcast.xml
    Here is the link to our Feedburner Feed:
    feed://feeds.feedburner.com/modtv/podcast
    Please can someone be in touch to let me know.

    The image is correctly referenced in the feed, is the correct dimensions and within the 500kB file size limit, so you've done your part correctly.
    The iTunes Store can be flaky about images: it's not that unusual for a new image to take quite a long time to appear, or for an existing one to disappear for a time. I'm afraid there isn't really much you can do about it except wait for the Store to get its act together.
    You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I'm afraid you are likely to get a form response telling you how to provide an image, which you already know.

    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.

    Not sure what I have done. My icons are missing from finder and Safari, tired the customise tool bar option with no joy,   please help.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
