If you are not even seeing the airplay icon so,etching be blocking the connection. Check firewall and other security.

  • 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 =\

  • I recently purchased Apple TV and it worked right away with my three ipd minis my iPhone 5 and ipad . The next day I cannot get the airplay icon to show up on any thing? Any ideas

    I recently purchased Apple TV and the first day it worked great. The second day I can no longer get the airplay symbol on any of my devices?

    Airplay doesn't show up in control center on any of your devices?
    Have you tried restarting the devices by holding down the home and power button for about ten seconds. I would also try restarting your router/modem.

  • The Airplay icon is showing twice (e.g. "airplay (2)") on my ipad and iphone.

    i tried resetting the internet, the apple tv, the ipad, etc, but no luck. any tips?

    but cannot find icloud on my imac.

    iCloud requires Lion v10.7.2. That's why you don't see iCloud in the System Preferences pane.
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion system requirements >  Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    Lion is available for download from the App Store. Click your Apple menu > Software Update to make sure your system software is up to date before downloading Lion.
    The App Store is available from your Apple menu, your Dock, or your Applications folder.

  • HT201335 i don't see the airplay icon on my macbook pro menu bar. I'm running OSX 10.7.5. What's up?

    I have a late 2011 machine. I keep the display icon in the menu bar but I can't find anything that will get the airplay icon to show. I'm tyring to connect to my Apply TV, which is on.
    I do have Air Display on the machine, not sure if that's messing it up.

    I'm running OSX 10.7.5.
    That's what's up.
    AirPlay mirroring requires OS X 10.8. Buy Mountain Lion in the App Store.

  • The airplay icon has disappeared from my desk top. It was there two weeks ago, so I can't watch movies I've downloaded from iTunes and flick them over to my TV.

    The airplay icon has disappeared from my MAC desktop. It was there two weeks ago when I successfully used it to 'flick a movie i had purchased from iTunes over to my tv. Also, if I rent the movie through iTunes, why (because of the above issue) when I go to 'Purchased' it doesn't display as an option when actually using Apple TV, it doesn't display but when I go to rent it again a message comes up saying "you have already rented this movie, do you want to rent it again"? Frustrated!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...

  • HT201343 I just verified that i have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and the airplay icon does not appear.  i also have a 2013 Macbook Pro which shows the airplay icon.  do i need to enable airplay on my early 2011 or is there an update that is needed?  Confuse

    To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

  • 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.

  • The Airplay icon does not show, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?

  • The Airplay Icon is not showing up on My Taskbar After Upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Please help.  I have 2nd generation Apple TV and a 2011 Imac but the Airplay Icon will not show up on Taskbar after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

    Finally after trying to uninstall/reinstall (no luck!)
    I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.  iTunes 10.7   And I have a solution:
    If found a thread about IPv6.
    I followed the same directions on Windows 7 64 bit and it worked.
    Disable IPv6 on _all_ of your IP ethernet adapters. 
    That includes Virtual Machines (VMWare... yes those too), including IPv6 for wireless.
    Close iTunes.  Start iTunes.  Works.  Airplay Icon is back.
    It looks like All of the AirPlay devices may have to be re-setup.  At the very least rebooted.
    I found that I had to clompletely erase my DHCP addresses from my (non Apple) router.. and that fixed it.  Finally.
    Even though this is for the Mac... I believe they are onto something.   Original thread link:

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

    How old is the MacBook Pro?  AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

    my iPad does not show the Airplay icon.  The software is iOS 7.0.4, I have home sharing turned on and have an Apple TV. What should I do?

    If you don't see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center:
    1. Turn off router, Apple TV and iPad
    2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
    3. Turn on Apple TV and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
    4. Turn on iPad (wait 30 seconds) and test AirPlay

  • 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...
