HT201335 Air Play Icon Disappeared

For some reason my ability to mirror my movie from my computer to the tv no longer works.  The airplay icon has disappeared and I am not able to get it to come back up.  Has anyone have any experience with this and how I can get it to work again?

  • HT2463 Air Play icon disappears after a few seconds of opening ports in router settings.

    The AIr Play icon no longer consistently appears on my iMac or my iPad.  Apple TV is 3rd gen, iPad is 4th gen, iMac is latest (2012) router being used is Linksys (Cisco) E3000.  Opened TCP ports 123, 3689, and UDP 5353, and after saving the router settings, the Air Play icon appeared on iPad but disappeared again after less than a minute.  The Air Play also appeared on my iMac and when I clicked the rainbow wheel appeared and after less than a minte the Air Play icon vanished again.  I have performed restores of the AppleTV both by using the iMac with a micro USB  and also did a restore while connected to the television.  Any other suggestions before I take it into the local Apple store?  Thanks.

    I set an appointment at local Apple store Genius bar.  The tech helped walk through and eliminate possible variables until we agreed it must be a problem with my router.  BTW, the tech hooked up my Apple TV at the store and it worked perfectly using the Apple store network.  I went home and restored my router to the factory default (like out of the box when it was new) and re-set it up.  When I finished my Apple TV has been displaying the AirPlay icon flawlessly.  Hopeful it will continue, but resetting one's router to factory defaults may fix your problem if you are expeiencing same issue when the AirPlay icon goes missing.

  • My Air Play icon disappeared in iTunes.  How to get back?

    Air Play was working fine for months/years.  Suddenly there is no icon or any way to connect to wireless devices.  Thoughts on how to fix?

    Hello ggapplehelp,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If the AirPlay icon is missing from iTunes, then I'd like you to please follow the information outlined below.
    If the AirPlay icon doesn’t appear in iTunes
    Ensure that you followed these steps to use AirPlay in iTunes.
    If the AirPlay icon  still doesn't appear, try one of the following steps:
    If you want to AirPlay to an Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on the Apple TV.  From the Apple TV main menu, go to Settings > AirPlay. This should be set to On.
    If you want to AirPlay to an Airport Express, ensure that AirPlay is enabled in the device settings.
    If you want to AirPlay to a 3rd party AirPlay-enabled device, refer to the user guide.

  • HT201335 I tapped the home button twice, saw the apps, scrolled left to right, still do not see the air play icon

    I am trying to mirror my iPad 2 with my Apple TV .  I hit the home button twice, scrolled through the app icons but still do not see the air play icon? I did check to confirm that both devices are on the same network.

    Yes they are both on the same network and I enabled air play on the TV. I finally located the icon on my iPad last night and succeeded in mirroring. It seems the instructions from apple were confusing me. They said tap the home button twice and then scroll to the right. The icon however is on the left side of the screen and shows as what I would call a button as opposed to an icon, located among the buttons of a mini player. Anyway, found it last night and now am enjoying the mirroring feature. Thanks for all the help.

    I'm using Air Play to a Yahama receiver. The Air Play icon has disappeared from Itunes. Is there a way to reload it? Thanks

    Hello!
    Shut down your Windows PC. Then unplug all you networkrouting devices as well as the Yamaha reciever from power for about one minute. Start everything back up again.

  • Where is the "Air Play" icon in iTunes11?

    I have iTunes 11.01.12 running on my PC with Windows XP.  iTunes runs properly, but the "Air Play" icon is not visible in the header next to the volume slider, as indicated in the iTunes help guide.  How do I get iTunes to display the "Air Play" icon?

    I was able to fix this by following the instructions here [1].  It seems like this was specific to my Asus router, so not sure if others are seeing similar issues with other branded routers.
