Airplay icon not showing up even though all devices connected to network

I have an ipad (about 1.5 years old) and a macbook pro (about 2 years old), and I just recently got the newest apple tv (I apologize for not knowing the exact models of what I have). Everything has the most recent updated software, but I have been having a lot of trouble with the airplay. The icon only shows up about 1/3 of the time we try to use it (on both the macbook and the ipad). I double and triple check that everything is connected to the network, and i even restart all of my devices multiple times. Sometimes it eventually ends up showing up and working great, sometimes we get so frustrated and just quit trying. The crazy thing is that other times when Im not trying to use the airplay, I see the icon all the time! What is going on here? Does anyone have any tips to get the airplay to work besides just restarting everything until it decides to appear?? Thanks so much

It could be due to interference on the network. Check istumbler.net to verify

  • TS4050 I am running Windows 8. Although my contacts and notes from my Ipod touch show up on icloud my calendar entries do not show up even though they do show up in my Google calendar and my windows phone calendar. Any suggestions not already covered?

    I am running Windows 8. Although my contacts and notes from my Ipod touch  show up on icloud my calendar entries do not show up even though they do show up in my Google calendar and my windows phone calendar. Any suggestions not already covered in trouble shooting articles?

    As I mentioned earlier, you have to decide which calendar you want to use.  You can either use Google or iCloud, but not both.
    If you want to use your iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Calendar section) and set this to your iCloud calendar.  After doing so, all new events you add to your calendar will be added by default to your iCloud calendar, and as a result, will appear on icloud.com and your computer (if it is syncing calendars with your iCloud account).
    If, on the other hand, you want to use your Google calendar (as it sounds like you are doing with your iPod), simply add the same Google calendar to your phone and your computer.

    Your settings are not saved. try with new profile.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. <br>
    See '''Creating a profile''':

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem <br>

  • My iPad will not send emails, even though all the settings seem correct.  But it receives them OK.

    My iPad will not send emails, even though all the settings seem correct.

    Patricia,
    When you say seem correct, have you checked in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account name > Outgoing Mail Server, SMTP and the outgoing server name is correct, then > Primary Server name is correct >  Host Name, User Name, redo the Password, Use SSL is OFF or ON according to your provider, may just try it both ways, Server Port, often 25 is the best to use.

  • Airplay Icon not showing in iTunes

    I have a problem with my Win8.1 laptop and the current iTunes version 11.3.0 using airplay with my ATV 1 (current firmware)
    Airplay usually works when I start up iTunes after booting the ATV but what really bothers me is that when my laptop looses WLAN connectivity for a few seconds, iTunes won't reconnect to the ATV and ask me to use the computer instead. After that the airplay icon disappears, and won't reapper until I have restarted the ATV and the laptop (alltough it may be that restarting the ATV isn't necessary).
    I have disabled IPV6 and tried restarting iTunes, the Bonjour service and the WLAN adapter, nothing helps but a restart.
    Airplay however continues to work fine with my iPhone / iPad.
    Any hints on what might be causing this? If not I'd suggest that the Apple developers overthink the discovery algorimth for airplay devices...

    Sorry, my bad, I have mistaken my ATV for a 1G in fact its a 2G. can't seem to change the first post but there you go.
    I connected the ATV to my iTunes lib to try the starting / stopping a song, but it didn't help. Also I'd prefer a solution that doesn't need the TV to be turned on (right now I'm using the optical coax out for music only). Thanks for the tip though.
    Further suggestions would be appreciated.

  • HT3819 Airplay icon not showing in iTunes on Windows 7

    I recently installed a USB wireless connection to my desktop so I could have a wireless connection to iTunes and use Airplay. At firdt it worked great but now the Airplay icon does not display and I can not seem to get it back. I have home sharing turned on in iTunes and it works on my iPad mini and iPhone 5. I have tried several of the suggested fixes including removing and reinstalling iTunes 11. All to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Temporarily disable any security software on the computer.

  • Airplay Icon not Showing when connected to my car's bluetooth stereo

    I have an UVO system in my Kia. It has been working great with the Iphone Airplay since October. I recently updated my phone and now, just like many others, no airplay showing up on my music apps.
    I basically use Spotify and Pandora all the time with zero issues. Now when my phone is connected to my car through bluetooth, my phone works perfectly and can talk through the speakers for calls but the music apps do not display the icon to switch between dock connector or bluetooth audio. This has led me to believe it's not a problem with my UVO system in my car but rather an apple related issue. Why would they dissapear? I have tried shutting off, rebooting, and all that jazz on both my Iphone 4 and Ipad2. Also, even when connected through the USB port, the UVO still doesnt recognize the audio.
    Any advice would be awesome!

    I DON'T text and drive. I just want be able to hear, for example, alerts that I have put on my calendar. I can/do pull over to look at texts--but not when I don't know that I have a message. This was never an issue until a couple of weeks ago.

  • Airplay icon not showing up on iTunes on Windows, but it is showing up on other devices

    I haven't used airplay in a while (few weeks), but went to play some music and icon is not populating. I have the latest version of iTunes and it might be the issue. Firewall and router are not the issues. It works on my iPad, iPhone, etc.
    I am sick of continuously having issues with Apple and these ******** problems? Why must I pay for a product that will fail to work?

    itunes cannot detect apple tv when apple tv is connected through ethernet and the laptop is wireless, although both devices are in the same overall network.

    Then I suspect your network or it's settings are your problem.

    I have a receipt that I purchased an item in-app but it never downloaded to my ipad. Went to see if I could redownload the item, but I'm going to be charged the price for the item again. [It's just a comic] I'd prefer to not get charged again, thoughts?
