Airplay sync button is missing

Does anybody know how i can fix the problem of a missing sync button for airplay on my iphone?

Hey Tjur,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear on your iOS device after following instructions about how to use AirPlay, then try these troubleshooting steps:
If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
Check for the AirPlay icon ( ) in the recently used apps section on your iOS device, or in iTunes on your computer (as in these articles about how to use AirPlay and how to use AirPlay Mirroring). The icon will only appear if your device or computer is logged onto a Wi-Fi network which has an AirPlay-enabled recipient, such as Apple TV (2nd generation or 3rd generation).
If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon, try one of the following steps:
Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).

My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio books it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something . What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

Yes. Other things have synced including books, but I don't know how these happened. According to the 'audible' instructions it should happen automatically, but it doesn't.

Lightroom 4.4 Metadata Auto Sync switch missing from Sync Button.

I am using Lightroom 4.4 on a 2013 Macbook Air OS 10.8.4.
I cannot see the Switch enables auto sync on the Metadata sync button. Its currently visible on another machine a MacPro with Lightroom v4.3. I find this useful to be bale quickly enable and disable the syncing of metadata. I'd be grateful if somewhere could tell me if this has been dropped in v4.4 or have I missed a prefs setting somewhere? MAny thanks

It depends on how the "Metadata Menu>Show Metadata for Target Photo Only" option is set. If it's enabled, the buttons are as you show them, with the little switch to the left of the "Sync" button which would enable "Auto Sync" if clicked (but only possible with multiple photos selected).
However, if that option is unchecked, the button changes and becomes like this:
No switch needed in that situation, the button lights up whenever multiple images are selected.

Itunes update has no photo sync button

Where is the photo sync button with the new itunes update? So how do I sync my photos cuz can't find anywhere the word photos.

I think you forgot to plug in your iDevice. Do this now. This is what I see after I plug in my iphone. I click once on "iphone".
This is what I see when I click on iphone. Notice books and photos are not showing up. They are missing regardless if it is full screen or in a window. Notice there are no scroll bars.
Now after I drag the window to the far left,moving quite a bit of the window off the screen, and expanding the window on the right, I can now see books and photos.
Hope that helps.

ITunes does not sync - button greyed out

I recently updated my 3gs to the new software, and my new ipad (3rd gen) is also running on the latest software. I also have the latest iTunes.
Up until 3 days ago, everything worked fine. Now however, whenever I plug either of them into my computer to sync some new music (or anything else) on, the sync button is greyed out.
So far I have tried :
Restoring my iphone [+ it seems my backup is missing all my apps/music]
Erasing ALL apple programs (itunes, updater, quicktime etc.), and then reinstalling [I've done this all twice now]
switching USB ports
Restarting both my computer and iPhone/iPad
Authorizing my computer again
I cannot drag and drop music onto my devices or use the sync button.
However none of these work for me. I now have nothing on my phone, and cannot put anything on it. This is incredibly irritating.
Im starting to get very angry with these products. Apple is supposed to be reliable is it not?
Someone please help me!

How do I restore the white sync button on iPhone 4s?

Last night I was attempting to add a Kindle book to my iPhone via the sync method. Something has gotten corrupted, as my iPhone no longer shows the white sync button option, under the iTunes /wifi option in settings. When I open iTunes, it sees the iphone. If I try and drag a file to the iPhone, the item bar is transparent and doesn't allow the action. I restored the phone, but to no avail. I no longer have the ability to manually sync my phone by pressing the white sync now button, that was previously showing on the phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

You can delete an item from Safari's reading list by swiping it and then tapping "delete".

I restored an iphone on a mac that it hadn't been previously synced with, and then accidentally clicked the sync button and now the music library on my mac is gone - can I get it back? If so, how do I get it back?

This is a crazy circumstance of events. We have an iphone that we use as our office line. My husband accidentally got his iphone wet so while we were submitting it to be replaced through AT&T insurance plan, I had taken the sim card out of the office iphone and put his sim card into it and he was using it for a couple weeks. Somewhere on this forum I had found the instructions for doing this and it worked. He set a passcode on it while he was using it. Then he got his new replacement iphone and we switched simcards back and was good to go with his newly replaced iphone. In the meantime the other office iphone had been forwarded to me and we at that time didn't have another person working in the office so the iphone sat off for about 6 weeks maybe. Of course, during those 6 weeks the passcode, that was set on it, was forgotten - tried a few different things he thought that he'd set it to with no luck. So I looked up what needed to be done and how to restore the iphone. This particular iphone had not been plugged into a computer since having the original sim card put back into it after my husband had used it with his sim card so it wasn't able to get past the not having the correct passcode by just plugging into a computer that it had been synced with. I restored it. And this maybe is where I messed up or where maybe the new Iphone/Itunes OS messed up. I did accidentally check the sync button once the iphone was restored. I looked at Itunes and realized the music in the library on the computer was gone as well as the playlists. This is such a bummer because this is the business macbook pro and we run boat charters so all of that music is what is on the boat's ipod and played during the charters. There are playlists for sunsets, for cloudy days, multiple reggae playlists, etc. totaling 80 different playlists and tons of music - so much hardwork went into making those. Is there any way to get it all back???? Please help if you can - I'd be ever so grateful. Thanks.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

HT201269 my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button, any suggestions

my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button. It is showing as greyed out. Any suggestions ?

I am having the same issue. After hunting around on the community boards for a while, I noticed that ZoneAlarm Firewall came up fairly often as causing issues with syncing. I re-activated the firewall that came bundled with my less-than-a-year old Windows 7 pc and completely uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I dragged and dropped one of my playlists to the iPhone 3GS and then most of my music then came back, but I am still unable to get all my custom ringtones (created in i ringer) to reload. I've tried dragging and dropping to no avail (I use "manually manage" because I add audio books from the library).
Others have posted these same issues and the odds that we are all doing the same exact wrong thing seems astronomical - there must be an issue with the latest firmware update. Different iPhone versions, different OS on computers, PC v Mac - all having problems after the latest update. Coincidence? Hmmmm!
If you do have ZoneAlarm, it might be worthwhile to change that...

Why is the sync button shaded/ grayed out in iTunes when I try to sync my iPhone 4s

I have 2 iPhone 4s', I originally synced one last year to the same computer I am using now, it worked fine. I have all the latest updates for iTunes and IOS. I am using a windows 7 laptop.
When I try to sync my phone, iTunes takes a very long time to find my iphone after I connect it and sometimes freezes for a minute or so. I then do all the regular things such as ticking the sync only selected songs, sync with this device over Wifi etc. but then when I have selected the songs i want and click 'apply', iTunes freezes again for a moment and the sync button at the bottom remains shaded out so I can't click it??
I have ticked automatically sync this device when connected, uninstalled/ re-installed iTunes 4 or 5 times, restarted my computer, authorised my computer (again), backed up and reset my iphone. Re-installed Bonjour, reset my Wifi router as it also does not let me click the 'sync now' button on either of my phones and after all of this, none of the songs in my music library on my iphones have changed??
Can anyone please help?

What happened to the nifty "sync" button in iTunes? It syncs as soon as I plug it in, and that's great! BUT! When I go to the iTunes Store and buy new stuff, I can't just 'sync' the device again so my new stuff gets added. Why?

What happened to the Sync button in iTunes 11?

I don't see a sync button in the new iTunes, nor does it individually list the podcasts that are downloading. They are all lumped together.
These seem like losses of functionality, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Do I really have to go to the menu to sync my podcasts?
Is there a way to see which ones are downloading?

I had the same issue, and didn't have to reboot to get it to reappear. I couldn't find it either, and knew i had used it before on my ipad mini. I closed my podcast app (Which was paused on a podcast) and closed the itunes store app, and the itunes radio tab reappeared. it must have something to do with the other apps that are open...that's why turning your ipad off and then back on fixes it. It closes whatever app is preventing the radio tab from showing up.

I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.
