How do I get the airplay icon on my menu bar?

I have just purchased a MacBook Pro and want to listen to my music and videos etc through a new airplay Bose - however I can listen to my music no problem but cannot listen to my movies this icon in itunes disappears. What am I missing? I understand that the icon should be on my menu bar but it is not there. Help please

Go to system preferences / Sound then the output tab and choose your bose speaker ..
Then all the sound from your computer go though the speaker.
At the moment is the only way to play videos or films and the sound by a airplay enable device.
Also you can pressing alt click the sound/volume icon in meni bar and choose bose..
Sometimes it don't want to go though but try again later or log out and usually works..
I find myself like you but now i listen to music videos and films or tv shows by airplay with no much problemm
Hope it helps if you didn't already figure it out..
Cheers enjoy the experience..

  • How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro?

    How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro? I want to be able to connect to my AppleTV.

    I looked at that already. I've done everything it says: check to make sure wireless is working, make sure airplay is enabled, make sure device and apple tv are on the same network blah blah. The icon just isn't there. Unless I skipped a step. AirPlay works when I use it in the music app and in the video app, I jus can't get mirroring to work. I was looking at some other threads and mirroring doesn't seem to be working for a lot of people. Maybe I jus have to wait for an update =\

  • How do I get the airplay icon to stay in my menu bar?

    I have a macbook pro, and I mirrored my entire desktop to my apple TV for a moment. So I have all the correct software, but the icon won't stay in my menu bar. I opened a video and the connection from computer to TV was lost. How do I get it to stay in my menu bar?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • HT201343 I have a Late 2011 model 13' Macbook Pro and i purchased Apple TV because it should support Airplay mirroring.  It says i should have the airplay icon on my menu bar but it does not appear.

    According to the help page i was viewing my Late 2011 13' MacBook Pro should support Airplay Mirroring.  However the airplay icon does not appear on my menu bar like i says it should and when i go to System prefereneces>Display nothing appears there about Mirroring as well (like it says it should).  The help page specifically says that Late 2011 MacBook Pros should support Mirroring etc... 
    Any suggestions?  I'm all ears...

    Airplay needs 10.8 or later, you need to update your operating system.

  • HT201335 I am only getting the AirPlay icon when I am in ITunes.  It does not show up when on my Mac when ITunes in not on the screen.  There is no Icon at the top of my computer. How do I fix it?

    Can someone tell me how to get the AirPlay Icon on the toolbar at the top of my screen?  It only shows up when I am in Itunes.

    The airplay icon you are reffering to is for mirrorring your desktop.  It is a functionality of Mountain Lion and it seems, based your profile, that you are still using Lion.  Therefore, you will need to purchase and upgrade to 10.8 in order to get this function.
    Be sure your iMac is really mid 2011 as it will be the oldest to support the mirrorring function.  Apple TV 2 or later is also required.

  • How to get the airplay icon to pop up on the tool bar

    i just bought apple tv 3rd gen and for some reason idk y but my airplay icon isnt coming up on my tool bar i was wondering if anyone could tell me more about why its not or tell me who i can get it

    You have OS X Lion, not Mountain Lion. You can do two things:
    1. Make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion, so you will get the AirPlay icon on your Mac to use AirPlay Mirroring.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    I recommend you to upgrade to Mountain Lion because you will get new features apart from AirPlay Mirroring for your Mac

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

    How do I get the music icon to show up on the home page of the touch?  Under the settings icon it shows the songs are downloaded.

    - Move the Music app icon to the home page.  It is usually easer to do it on the computer than on the iPod itself. The manual says how to move the apps.

    - I do not undersand what: "Under the settings icon it shows the songs are downloaded." means.

  • How do I get the speaker icon to STAY in my system tray?

    How do I get the speaker icon to STAY in my system tray?  Every time I mute the speakers, the icon disappears from my system tray.  I have a very difficult time getting it back, and I can never remember how I do it.  Can someone give me some helpful, easy to remember steps on how to KEEP the sound/volume icon in my system tray?  Thanks.

    I did what you said.  There is not a "system icons to always show".  What it does say is "turn system icons on or off".  The one for the sound icon is greyed out and CANNOT be clicked on.  This happens every time I mute the speakers.  
    So, how do I get it back?  
    Candy
    In the menu that said "turn system icons on or off", try clicking on the blue writing on the bottom left of that menu that says "restore default icon behaviors".
