Airplay icon no longer shows up on my computer

I have Apple TV and have always had an airplay icon on my menu bar.  I updated to the newest version of OSx and now it no longer appears. I know my device supports it, but not sure what happened.

Check System Preferences to make sure the box is checked to show Airplay in the menu bar.

  • 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:

    ... or try section 5 from the following document:

  • TS4085 After updating my iPhone 4s and my iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 I can no longer use the mirroring or AirPlay features with my Apple TV.  Before the update it worked fine on all devices.  After the update the AirPlay or mirroring icon no longer shows up.

    I went through all the troubleshooting steps and it still does not work.  Checked wifi, home sharing , Internet connection, etc... Anyone have a solution?

    Is your Apple TV "awake"?  Sometimes the AirPlay icon won't show for me if the Apple TV is sleeping - pressing a key on the Apple remote ususally resolves it.

  • Airplay is not working with my phone and apple tv. airplay icon no longer comes up on phone

    airplay is not working on my phone. icon no longer shows up. cant play music or videos on tv from phone anymore

    As the original poster, I too had issues with my iPhone 4 (4.2.1) and Apple TV 2 playing nice. The Airplay icon was visible for music, and worked perfectly. However, when watching a video, purchased through iTunes, only the "audio" option would be selectable for Airplay. After updating the Apple TV software, everything works perfectly well. When watching a video on my iPhone and selecting the Airplay icon, one of the options is to play "video" through the Apple TV, not simply audio.
    It would have been nice to know that my Apple TV needed an update when I updated my iPhone 4 to 4.2.1.

  • The Airplay icon does not show, 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.

  • 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.

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • 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!

  • QT 7 Icon no longer showing since 10.6.7 update

    Hello,
    QT 7 Icon no longer showing since 10.6.7 update
    Realized the QT icon is missing when I was doing command-tab to move through apps. Just a blank space.
    It also is not showing in my dock. Just a blank space.
    The icon appears next to the title in my applications folder.
    Any ideas why or how to fix?
    QT X icon visible. (Never use it as it isn't very smart)
    Thanks!

    updating.. It looks as though as soon as I open an app, the icon disappears.
    I looked in console, (whose icon disappeared) and these messages showed
