Can not locate the airplay icon on my macbook air
Hello
I recently bought apple tv. As far i am very happy with it, but i am having annoying issue with the apple tv and my macbook air. The macbook can not seem to be able to stream any content to it, no matter what settings i change. It just seem to be missing completely the airplay option. I am running the latest OS X Yosemite update. Any ideas how i can solve this?
Hello PWGltd,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to use AirPlay between a Mac and an Apple TV, your Mac needs to be one of the following:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)

Take care,

HT4437 I can not see the AirPlay icon on my iphone. Can anyone help?
I am connected to the same WiFi network at my house through my Apple TV as well as my iPhone 5 but I can not see the AirPlay icon on my iPhone ! Can anyone help to guide me to connect my iPhone to the Apple TV so i can stream media on to my TV?
Yes, under the Settings menu of my AppleTV, I have gone into AirPlay sub-menu and the AirPlay selection shows "ON", Onscreen Code is set to "OFF" and no Password is set up.
I also have a Tick against the AppleTV listed under Speakers.
Is there anything else I should do to enable AirPlay on the AppleTV or my iPhone? -

I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

HT204291 Now that I updated my SW on my iPad I can not find the airplay icon in music. Any advice?
Any help would be greatly appecaited.
Hey Hokies6894,
Thanks for the question. With the introduction of iOS 7, the AirPlay icon has moved to the Control Center for easy access from any screen. To access Control Center, simply swipe up from the bottom of your screen:

If AirPlay does not appear, it may be due to no available AirPlay devices. For troubleshooting information, see this article:

Blind user on iPhone 5S, voiceover on, can not see the Airplay icon in the Pandora app
Blind user with an iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1 updated, have the Pandora app installed, and playing streaming music from the phone. My problem is that , while the Airplay icon is visible to a sighted person holding my phone, when I attempt to activate the Airplay icon - while using Voiceover - the phone doesn't seem to be able to "see" the Airplay icon, thus won't allow me to activate it. I have tried both methods of finding/accessing the Airplay icon, via the ""pushing up" of the volume bar, as well as trying to go tot he app-switcher and doing a left-to-right swipe x2 to get to the icon without positive result. The above worked just fine in my old iPhone 4S and iOS 6.X. So, what has changed, and what should I be doing differently? Thanks!

Is there anything else I should do to enable AirPlay on the AppleTV or my iPhone? -
what am i supposed to do?
Ok, I had this problem until 5 minutes ago. What i did:
1 - disable Wi-Fi
2 - disable Bluetooth (that's the great villain)
3 - enable Wi-Fi
4 - Icon Appears, able to conect. If you need Bluetooth, after you conected to Apple TV, you can Enable again.
On iPhone 4S are the same steps, turn off Wi-Fi, turn off bluetooth, reconect wifi, tap twice at home button, scroll to volume, and the airplay is there.
Hope I help! -

No app I'm afraid.
These problems can be multifactorial but often are network related.

Hello there Phillip,
If sounds like you updated to iOS 8.1.3 and now do not see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center. I would run through the troubleshooting and setup verification. It should get that rectified for you:
