Airplay symbol stopped showing on iOS5 devices

Airplay symbol used to show on iPad2 and iPhone4S for use with Apple TV(2). Now it just stopped showing up.
I tried reset of ATV. All devices are on the same wireless network. All devices are logged into the same iTunes account.
Any suggestions?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Airplay icon not working on any devices now...

My TECH:
ATV3
iPad 3
iPhone 5
Internal Airport Internet Sharing
iMac 11,3
I'm getting extremely frustrated with how my ATV3's Airplay function is up and down for working. This has happened before and after the i0S6 updates...
Basically, I can never get the Airplay icons to show up on my devices. I have to restart my computer, the ATV, my devices and sooner or later one of them will work. But now they absolutely do not show up.
I have two Itunes account (US/JP) I don't think that should be a problem. Is there something in the Internet Sharing Options I'm not doing right?
Any help soon would be greatly appreciated as I use the AirPlay for demonstration and NOTHING is working.

So I tried to do a restore via Itunes.... and now it's this endless cycle of plugging it back into the TV and it telling me to plug it back into Itunes. Restore again... Repeat.....

I made a purchase on iTunes and it is not showing on any of my devices. When I tried to watch the show in my purchased file I could not. When I go back to iTunes it tells me I made the purchase already. Why can't I access my purchases. Case

I have a macbookpro. when I connect any camera to the mac it does not show as a device. How do I load my pictures to either iPhoto or Aperture? It worked before but just stopped working. Any suggestions?

I have a macbookpro. I use Aperture and Iphoto. When I connect any camera to the Mac it does not open it as a device in Iphoto, Aperture or in Finder. It use to work but just stopped. Any sugestions?

Here is the full story. It may be long so please bear with me. I take a lot of pictures and movies. Since I have over 30,000 pictures I decided to place the Iphoto library on an external drive to save space on my internal drive since ot was getting very full. After I did that it worked fine for a while. Then one day I could not open the Iphoto library. Since I was overseas at the time I brought it to the IStudio ( not an Istore) overseas. They said to rebuild the library and they would do that for me. It took all day since I had so many pictures. When they called me and told me it was ready, I went to pick it up. They started to show me the new library. It crashed again. Not knowing how to fix this at the ISudio, they installed Aperture and imported the Iphoto library. This worked fine for a short time.When back in the states, it crashed again just like Iphoto. I took it to the IStore. They did not know why the overseas Istudio did what they did what they did and rebuilt my aperture library. Again it worked fine. Now that I am overseas again. It crashed again. However, I concluded that the reason for these crashes is becuase I have the file on an external drive that derives its power from the Mac and not by itself. When I use it and stop for a while the MAC will go to sleep and this cuases the external drive to shut down. This then causes the library to have inconsistancies. Therefore, when it happened this time I tried to repair the library and after 36 hours it would close down Aperture. Therefore I decided to rebuild the library. That did not work either. So I tried opening the Aperture library with Iphoto. That seemed like it was going to work but after importing half of the 30,000 plus pictures. I photo shut down. I then made a new aperture libary and erged the old library with it. This worked. I now have an aperture library that works. However, when I plug my camera into the MAC nothing happens. The camera does not show up in devices in either Aperture, I photo nor in Finder. The USB port and cord I use works fine becuase I can read my external hard drives fine. I checked as SIG suggested in this thread and everything is set to open aperture when the camera is connected.
I have the newest OS version 10. 7. 2 and the computer frequently updates all my programs. I have not installed any ne software lately. The problem happens both if I am on battery or plugged in. Just before I came overseas the IStore replaced the Battery. I can go back to the IStudio here overseas but the last time I was there and told them about the problem ( I did not have my computer with me) they did not impress me with their wisdom. I will be back in that city in a month and can go there if need be. Thanks for all the help so far. God bless.

ATV1 not showing up in devices

So, I HATE the ATV2 I bought some time ago, because the wifi in my house wasn't strong enough to support any decent streaming (I'd get constant buffering or music would get warped), so my boyfriend and I switched ATVs. I now have an ATV1.
I did a full factory reset, did all the upgrades, made certain my iTunes had all the latest updates, etc.
My ATV1 can see the internet just fine; my iTunes has home sharing turned on.
The ATV1 does not show up in devices.
I have re-done the factory reset
Turned off all firewalls
Checked and rechecked that home sharing is on
Both are on the same network
I get three/five bars on signal strength
Network test tells me that the test is "successfully completed" but doesn't tell me what the test results are
Airplay in iTunes can find the ATV no problem (but the audio comes out horribly corrupted [sounds like trying to watch TV when there's horrible weather interfereing with the dish])
Why can't I see my ATV1 in the devices? How do I get content onto it if it doesn't show up in devices?
Computer is a MacBook Pro 10.6.8
All software completely updated on the laptop, iTunes, and the ATV

Ok, solved my own problem.
It doesn't show up in devices until after its been paired.
For anyone else having this issue:
On the ATV1
Go to settings > computers > add computer
At this point, you should notice in your iTunes library to the far right of the screen, next to where it usually says library, it should say Apple tv. Click that and enter the five digit code you got on the television screen. Answer all the questions.
Then go into the "add shared itunes library" option
Click on the apple tv (same place) in iTunes.
Enter the new five digit code. Answer any new questions.
Ta-da, home free.

ATV not showing up under devices in iTunes

I have synced this ATV with this Macbook in the past.
I am able to play music from my Macbook thru my ATV by selecting the ATV speakers instead of the Macbook's speakers.
I can play movie trailers on the ATV.
In iTunes>Preferences>ATV my ATV shows up and says it is syncing
I have updated my ATV and iTunes software.
However, it does not show as syncing on the home screen of iTunes and does not show up under devices on the left side. Any ideas?

My iPhone is not showing as a device in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but still not showinh

I am unable to see my iPhone in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but it still will not show. Under devices it is not listed. Any suggestions?

You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

ITunes is not showing up my device (Iphone4). What should I do?

iTunes is not showing up my device (Iphone4). What should I do?

Try searching for the app using Spotlight, if it finds it, it's just on another home page or in another folder. You can swipe your finger horizontally across the home page to get to spotlight and the other pages.
Do you have any restrictions set? You can disable apps from Settings > General > Restrictions.

IMac Bluetooth keyboard not showing up under devices in my iPad

Even after I remove it from my list of iMac devices, if I touch a key on the keyboard, it reconnects to the iMac. So after I removed it from the devices on my iMac, I shut the iMac off to see if I could get it to work with my iPad (first generation) and it doesn't show up under bluetooth devices on my iPad. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong, or is it not possible to do this? I even paired (and unpaired) my iPad to my iMac. I followed all the directions to unpair/disconnect my keyboard from the iMac, but I still cannot get my iPad to find the keyboard under bluetooth devices.

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

As far as I can see mostly Keyboards between Oct and Dec 2004 are involved. I would appreciate if Apple could have a careful look on this issue and take resp. actions as e.g. an extented repair or replacement program!
