Airplay icon missing on iMac after installing airport extreme

Can't get my iMac to display the airplay icon after changing to the AirPort Extreme wireless router.
Previous Setup:
Cable Modem ->LinkSys Wireless Router -> AirPort Express for Home Stereo access using Airplay
Accessed Airplay from iPhone 5S, iPad, iMac - all worked
NEW Setup:
Replaced old wireless router with Airport Extreme
Cable Modem -> Airport Extreme -> Airport Express for Airplay on home speaker system
Airport Utility (v 6.3.2) see's both the Airport Extreme and the Airport Express
The Airport Express is in Network Mode of :Join a wireless network. My AirPort Extreme wifi network is Why Phi
The Airplay option is selected
My iMac does not see the airplay option in the menu bar.
Note: The Airplay icon used to show up on my iMac before I had the AirPort Extreme.
My iPhone 5s see's the AirPort Express for airplay, and plays the music fine.
The display for my iMac is flagged to show for AirPlay but it doesn't see any devices.
If you know what I have missed, please let me know! I loved the AirPlay option from my iMac, and would really like to get it back!

The AirPlay icon within iTunes appears when iTunes "discovers" that an active AirPlay-ready "speaker" is available on the network. In this case the speaker would be your AirPort Express base station.
It may be possible that the Express has not properly joined the Wi-Fi network provided by the new Extreme base station.
Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

Trouble with Maya 8.5 after installing Airport Extreme

Installed Airport Extreme 802.11n a couple weeks ago - using OS 10.4 on an iMac and 10.3 on G4 Quicksilver.
Network is working fine.
Tried to use Maya 8.5 this week and program freezes on startup. Only change to Mac system is installing network.
Is Autodesk license manager unable to recognize computer with network setup?
Thanks for any help.

Maya not being able to recognize the license dat file will not cause Maya to lock up or crash. Have you run a Maya crash log to confirm what is causing this? Since upgrading from Tiger to Leopard I also upgraded to Maya 2008 (don't know why Autodesk didn't call it 9.0..lol) from 8.5. I haven't experienced any system crashes on Leopard, even on the MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, 3 GB RAM, ATI X1600). Note: I'm also using the AEBS in the SOHO and no issues with the license server.

Imac 24 won't sleep after installing Airport Extreme

Hi there.
This topic may have been covered already, but does anyone know why I can't seem to get either my Imac 24 display or the internal HD to automatically sleep after installing the Airport Extreme .11n?
Both the display and internal HD would sleep just fine when directly connected to modem, but now with Airport Extreme, only the screen saver appears and I can't get either the display or drive to sleep.
Thanks

Hmm, check your settings for sleeping.

20" iMac g4 won't boot after installing airport extreme card

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=26237
This document shows a card that looks different from my card. The antenna is in the center in the picture and my card has the antenna to the side. The card seem a little smaller than the slot but it does go in and seats ok.
Do I need an old style card? I can't find anything but the Airport Extreme card in the apple store.
Thanks,
Larry

Hi!
...yes, the 20" iMac G4 takes the original Apple Airport card (not extreme)
you can get a decent one + Warranty here...

Problems after installing Airport Extreme Update 2008-001

ever since I installed the Airport Extreme update 2008-001 my internet connection has been dropping and it's so frustrating. I normally wait and don't install updates immediately after they are released. I installed this one and now my internet connection keeps dropping.
Anyone have any suggestions??

Same scenario here, though I'm running 10.4.9. on a Mac Pro. I've tried every known fix, but Safari still stalls every few minutes - taking upwards of a minute to continue loading whatever page I was browsing to.
Other apps, including Mail, Firefox, and Remote Desktop screen sharing aren't affected - I can ping away without issue while Safari is choking, and there is no unusual Safari CPU consumption in Activity Monitor

Cant restart MBP1.83 after installing AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001, Help

Today I have installed that update on my macbook pro 1.83 mghz as the only update available, accordingly to apple software update utility. After a succesfull download and preinstallation, when I have restarted a lot of unix command lines appeared on a black screen. Then restarted again and the same thing happened (command lines stopping at a empty line). After a hard restart, the system tries to start but it stays on fisrt screen (apple logo with round timer keeping rotating).
Help please!!! and be carefull anyone who tries to install this patch. Thanks!
PS: I have tried disk check and permissions test and everything is ok, the problem continues

You cant have a macbook pro 1.83 you must just have a normal macbook 1.83ghz processor. The lowest model of macbook pro has a 2.16ghz processor. I currently have a 2.0Ghz macbook core duo machine and after installing the airport update the machine restarted then came up with a dialog box instead of booting the os saying that i should do a hard restart in order for everything to work properly so once i did a hard restart by holding down the power button till the machine went off everything has worked fine so far.

PowerMac G4 (FW 800) Won't Start After Installing Airport Extreme Card!

After installing an Airport Extreme Card in my G4 FW 800, the computer will not Chime or Start Up; shortly thereafter, the Fan begins to Run erratically.
Without the Airport Card installed, the CPU runs normal, with the exception of the clock needing to be reset.
Any help is Greatly Appreciated! -Nico

Hey Tom, thanks for the response. I have tried holding Command-Option-R-P down (resetting the PRAM) at startup with no avail. I have also pressed the PMU button with and without the Airport Card installed. Still no luck. I am pretty stumped. I ran a hardware check on the machine, and it has come back successful without the card.
The previous owner installed an extra internal HD and some memory. I have since installed a new PCI graphics card. Do you think these have anything to do with it?

My wifi printer is not recognised after installing airport extreme

Hi,
I have recently changed internet provider and took the opportunity to change router. I removed a netgear modem/router and installed a Draytek Vigor120 modem and Apple AirPort Extreme. My existing wifi HP all in one printer (which was working normal before change) is no longer recognised. I want to use the USB port on the extreme for an external hard drive so don't want to connect the printer to it. Any solutions? I am using an imac with OS X 10.8.3.

Well the printer wont be recognized until it has been connected to the new wifi. Most wifi printers use either an LCD screen on them or software that came with them. You will likely need to reconfigure the printer so that it can connect to your new network.

IBook G4 won't start up after installing Airport Extreme card

Hi,
just installed an Airport Extreme Card into girlfriends iBook G4 (10.4.5), which now won't start up. After pressing the start button all I hear is the fan spin (pretty fast actually), but nothing else happens.
When I remove the card the iBook starts up normally.
Any thoughts what could be wrong? Bad card? Bad connection?
Thanks a lot

Sven, Welcome to the discussion area!
Are you certain that you have an AirPort Extreme card?
Are you certain that it is an iBook G4? The iBook G3s require the original AirPort card.
If both of those are OK, then one (or more) of these is true:
The card isn't installed correctly.
The AirPort Extreme card is defective.
The iBook's motherboard is defective.

Blank screen on my eMac after installing Airport Extreme Card

I just bought and installed (the right way, I checked) the Airport Extreme card on my eMac G4 desktop and at first the computer couldn't find it at all and after restarting several times, now the computer turns on but the screen is absolutely blank. I took the card out and restarted and it came on just fine. Can the card be affecting the screen? ANy help appreciated, I have no idea on this one.

This symptom is commonly seen when the Airport card is not FULLY seated into its socket. It can take a fair bit of force to do this.

Cannot turn on my iBook after installing airport extreme card

I have an older iBook that's running OSX 10.4.3 I am trying to install an airport extreme card, but I am unable to turn the computer on after installing it. What's the deal?

you have an ibook G3?? if so, then you need the old "Airport Card", which apple no longer makes and you'll have to get from macmall or macwireless.com

System slows down after installing AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001

my macbook's internet related performance has been significantly slowed down recently. i have windows xp installed on my mac from where i can compare the performance of ie and safari or ie and firefox on mac. the result is ie on windows xp is much faster. the wireless connection is even more reliable and has more signal strenth under windows. these "slow" situations of mac only happens recently, and the only thing that i can think of to mark the change is the installation of AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001. please advise what i can do to bring back the good performance of mac. (i.e.:if i type in www.google.ca in the address bar of safari, the blue bar will just be stuck around "http://" for a long time before the simple page gets loaded while the status bar of safari is showing contacting google.ca)

Same scenario here, though I'm running 10.4.9. on a Mac Pro. I've tried every known fix, but Safari still stalls every few minutes - taking upwards of a minute to continue loading whatever page I was browsing to.

Help after installing airport extreme on my ibook G4

Hi,
I installed an airport extreme card but then how do I know that my G4 recognizes it? Does it need any software or should it automatically pick it up? Help Im new to mac so Im still learning how to get around it. I have os 10.39 on it.
Thanks,
Millie

how do I know that my G4 recognizes it?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and click on More Info, or open the Network pane of System Preferences.
Does it need any software or should it automatically pick it up?
The necessary software should be included with Mac OS X 10.3.
