HT204291 Airplay icon has disappeared from all devices!!

Airplay icon is not appearing on the control screen when I swipe up on ANY of our devices- iPhone 5, iPhone 5S and iPad 2. All are up to date with iOS 7.1 and have been rebooted. Apple TV and devices are all connected to same network and airplay is turned on. Apple TV has been restarted as well as the router and modem. Apple TV plays netflix without any problem so I would assume that the internet is working just fine with the Apple TV.   We use airplay frequently, so it is not a matter of not knowing how to use it!!

Airplay is over the local network, and that is likely where the issue lies. You say the IOS devices are up to date, have you ensured router is as well?
Have you checked the troubleshooting tips?

  • 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...

    Oh John....  Oh Marsha.....

  • Home sharing / Apple TV icon has disappeared from all my apple devices

    Two days ago I could go to my shared MacBook through the Apple TV or Throw up a video or music onto the TV from my iPhone or iPad. Last two days... No icon on any device, no home sharing info on the TV, despite every combination of reset and restore. There haven't been any upgrades or even changes to network. Help please?

    Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
    Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive.  Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
    After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box.  DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
    That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
    You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key.  That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives.  Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

  • My Ipod nano 6 has disappeared from my devices and also from my programmes on my computer. I have done everything it says to do in the troubleshooting. Does anyone know what else I can do?

    My Nano 6th gen has disappeared from my devices in itunes and also from programmes on my computer.  I have tried all the troubleshooting and it has not fixed it?

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

  • My delete icon has disappeared from voicemail screen.  how do I get it back

    my delete icon has disappeared from the voicemail page. I can not delete any voicemails now.  how can I get the delete icon back?

    First of all do you have a CD/DVD in the drive?   The icon is only shown on the desktop when there is a CD/DVD in the drive.
    If you have a CD/DVD in there, then check that CD/DVDs, and iPods is ticked in Finder/Preferences/General.

  • The The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded   What to do to get it back.

    the The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded  Will not download again.  How do I get my icon back.

    Well, App Store is system app. It might have been moved accidentally to a folder. You might be having an idea of Spotlight search when you swipe the home screen to the left most section, you can search "App Store" and you have the icon of the App Store.
    You can try to reset home screen layout by going to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout
    Keep in mind, this will reset all the app folders you've created in the home screen.
    If it still doesn't appear, you might have accidentally turned the switch ON to disable App Store in restrictions.
    Can be accessed by going to settings - general - restrictions - (Enter passcode if asked) - Turn on the Installing Apps and Deleting Apps switches to ON
    Let me know if this helps you out

  • My app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod, how do i get it back?

    my app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod touch, does any one know how to get it back

    - Try using the Spotlig search. Maybe yu just can't find it.
    - Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Maybe it is hidden by setting a restriction for it.
    - Do a reset. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    The buy icon has disappeared from my itunes store...how can I purchase songs??

    The Youtube app was removed by Apple in iOS6.  You can use either the iPhone app from Youtube (free in the app store, but you've got to set it at 2x), or go to www.youtube.com in a Safari web browser.  You can also add the web page to your Home Screen using the share feature.  It will then operate just like an app.
