Why does my airPlay icon disappear sometimes when I am watching a movie?

Intermittant issues are usually a result of interference. Check istumbler.net

  • 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.

    I cannot get the AirPlay icon on my iOS devices please help

    In IOS 7, the air play button lies below the bottom of the iTunes page. You need to click along the bottom for it to come up. Air play is there! Wow! I spent so much time trying to figure out what was wrong and as usual, it was me!

  • 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?

    Hello SoDak281
    Check out the articles below to troubleshoot AirPlay. I have provided one for an iOS device as well as one for Mac.

  • HT4437 why is the air play icon not coming up on my iMac I purchased in August?

    as per the subject

    have you entered your the AirPlay Id and password (not your Apple Id) into the Mac?

  • HT201343 air play icon switch off when i turn on airplay icon on iphone5

    anyone has the same problem?

    My assumption is that because Airplay can be potentially intercepted in software, Apple must block screen mirroring of potentially encrypted DVD material at a low level.
    That said something like VLC may play ok - can't confirm as none of my Macs Airplay mirror.

  • Why does the clear history button disappear sometimes even when I have browser history showing?

    as per question.

    Is this for the Android build, Firefox 10? If so, my advice would actually be to try the latest Aurora build -- it uses a different user interface altogether and is the new product we're focusing on entirely, which will shortly replace the version you're running.
    Try that one and see if the problem still exists there. More info here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Aurora

  • Why does my sound only come on sometimes when i get to the log in screen for World of Warcraft?

    Product: HP Pavilion dv9628nr
    Operating system: Vista
    Error Message: (i dont know if it is an error message) "No Audio Output Device Installed"
    All I did was play the latest content for World of Warcraft (Patch 4.3). I hit the mute button and it turned red. I hit "exit" and "exit now" after i was done playing and it took a long time to exit. After it was back to the very familiar screen with all the icons the sound was gone. The mute button was blue after a restart, then it started saying i didn't have a sound card when i tried looking for it. The next day i turn on my laptop and and the mute button is red when it's starting up. After it was done I unmute it and sound worked fine, but for a while. After that the sound only comes back on a few rare occasions when i get to the login screen of world of warcraft. Then after a while of walking around doing nothing, the sound is gone again, but the mixer is still there (the mixer disappears after i restart). It also doesn't let me successfully uninstall the sound driver. I restart and go to reinstall the driver on the website, but during the download it says that it's already installed and if i want to overwrite, when i hit "yes to all" the lap top beeps LOUDLY, and says the installation failed because it didn't find the device. What's going on?

    The boot ROM is static unless Apple issues a firmware update. I just checked and they never released any such updates for the eMac. Without a firmware update available, I know of no way to overwrite the current version.
    What did the serial number check show? Don;t post your serial number, just whether it fell within one of those ranges.
    The logic board issue was specifically bad capacitors. Look at some of the pic posted here:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/gdegagne/EMacCapacitorReplacement#
    Open your RAM door on the case bottom and look inside. The third picture in the web site is the view with that door open. You can see only two of several possible bad caps through the RAM door but, if those two are leaking brown goo like those in the image, I think you will have found your problem.
    I just realized you are in Tacoma. That makes the closing of the repair place I mentioned all the more sad, as your shipping costs to Eugene OR would be much less than for an eMac owner living several states away. Heck, you could have driven it to Eugene!
    Really, I'm not in the habit of preaching 'gloom and doom' but, in your case, we need to deal with the logic board issue first to be able to provide you with worthwhile help should your computer not have the "bad cap" problem. If bad caps are the problem, there is not much we can offer other than to refer you to Google to search for self-repair instructions, or to Apple Customer Relations (1-800-767-2775) to consult regarding a Repair Extension Program that was apparently shut off too early.

  • Why does my project not turn out right when I export my movie?

    I am creating projects for a church doing announcements via video.  Once the project is created and my timeline complete, I export the project to my desktop.  It often creates strange anomlies duplicating different parts of the project and replacing others.  What is the issue here?  Creating a Quicktime movie, 1920 X 1080P, 23.76 frames per second, H.264 Codec.

    I'd first try exporting in the native exporting format ProRes 422. Personally I've never had this happen to me but I'd try that first.

  • Why does my main hard drive fill up when I export a movie?

    Hey all,
    I set all scratch disks in the preferences to use an external FW800 hd. Still, when I try to export a movie, I see my main hd fill up to maximum capacity and cannot finish the export due to insufficient space. Is there any way for that not to happen?
    Thanks,
    Zurdyo

    With only 3GB available on your boot drive, you are very close to crashing your system.  I'm surprised you haven't been experiencing lots of system problems at this point.
    A 10-min HD video will indeed utilize 4-5GB of temporary space, especially if you didn't bother to render the video & mixdown the audio before exporting.
    In general, you should always keep at least 20% free space on your boot drive (minimum 20GB), preferably more in order to keep your system running well.   And if you are working with HD video you really need to keep at least 40-50GB minimum free space on your boot drive.

  • Why does my Epson printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    reboot the router (and the printer). 
    If still happening, check your router settings.  Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
    The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
    You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.
