IOS8: why is the airplay icon missing from embedded web video players?

Can someone explain to me why the airplay icon that used to reside in the lower right hand corner of videos played inside safari or youtube or amblify is now gone? The only way I can use airplay is to mirror my whole phone from the control center which is kind of annoying. not to mention instead of my photos screensaver passing through when using amblify with my stereo and philips Hue, my guests have to look at the control panel for amblify. This is extremely annoying, is this a glitch or is this how iOS8 is supposed to function? ?f I am reading an article on my phone and I come upon a video related to the article its a lot easier to press that button than to have to mirror the whole phone from the control center . . .

Hi Mr Sheppard,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
In iOS 8, the AirPlay icon () should still appear in the lower right hand corner of videos you play on your iPhone. This function is not currently working as expected on your device, and I know that causes frustration.
To troubleshoot the situation, I recommend the steps in this article:

They can help get your iPhone back into proper working order.
All the best,
Jeremy

  • Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
    Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
    This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
    Genious Sidebar
    I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.
    Airplay Icon Missing from Itunes on PC
    I can hit my Airplay devices such as Apple TV and Zeppelin Air with iPads, iPods, and iPhones. Just not from the PC Console where is previously enjoyed it the most. So I know the devices are fine. They are all on the same physical wired and wireless network. Even when I put the Zeppelin on the wired LAN there is no Airplay icon in iTunes on the PC.

  • Every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes

    every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes or i get an error when i try to use it
    do you know why and how to solve this problem?

    Hi Colin,
    A couple of things you can try:
    Open System Preferences and click on Network. Click on the small gear icon below the list of connections and select Set Service Order. Move your AirPort connection up to the top of the list so it will be first in line when your computer searches for connections. (It's probably looking for ethernet connections first..the normal default..and finding none, it then looks for wireless. This takes time.
    Click on your AirPort connection again to highlight it and then click Advanced in the lower right of the pane. Make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list. Delete other networks that you don't need.
    Finally, make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember any network this computer has joined".
    See if one of these actions will help.

  • Why is the Insert Panel Missing from Dw CS6 Build 12 v 5861?

    Why is the Insert Panel Missing from Dw CS6 Build 12 v 5861?

    If Nancy's advice doesn't make it pop up as a window, you may have it set as a tool bar, in which case, hitting Ctrl+F2 will make the tool bar appear/disappear.
    To turn it back into a floating panel, click and drag the dashed line on the far left of the Insert tool bar and pull it away from the top. You can leave it as free floating or drag it to another edge until it highlights the edge and drop it to dock it to whichever side of the screen you prefer.

  • Why is the movies category missing from the menu?

    Mine did it yesterday.
    My internet connection has been playing up for 2-3 days, with loss of connection even though router still indicates it's connected.. AppleTV is still on network but can't see the internet for movies when this happens.
    Also check you have correct country set as some won't allow movie rentals.

  • Why is the forwarding arrow missing from my iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.2

    Why is the forwarding arrow missing for text messages from my iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.2

    The speak needs to be enabled through settings
    Though - wondering why you are seeing things differently - any chance you can post a picture of what you are seeing
    The next step would be
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If that does not work - then we may be looking at a restore

  • Why does the airplay icon not appear after upgrading to Mavericks on my iMac.

    I am using an Apple TV, iPad 2, and an iMac with wifi sharing enabled.  Before upgrading to mavericks I was easily able to use airplay to mirror the display of my ipad2 to a projector.  After the upgrade the airplay icon will dispear.  When I restart the wifi sharing on my imac then the airplay icon will reappear on my ipad.
    Does anyone have a fix for this.  I use this in my classroom and this problem made yesterdays lesson almost undoable because students were givng presentations and each time a student wanted to project thier ipad screen I had to reset my wifi.

  • Why are my Airplay devices missing from the desktop Airplay menu bar?

    From my desktop, all devices are visible in iTunes and when I option-click volume.  All devices are visible from my IOS devcies.  But most devices are missing under the Airplay menu at top of my desktop. The only devices visible are Apple TV.  Thus, I cannot select multiple Airplay devices to play at once from my desktop, but am confined to selecting a single device through the option-click volume menu.
    Thanks all.

    Play audio from my iMac to multiple airplay devices (speakers).  I can do so through iTunes, but not outside of iTunes.  For example, I cannot stream audio to multiple devices from a browser.  Perhaps I am looking at the wrong menu. Thanks for inquiring.
    This thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21771160#21771160) seems to suggest in can only be done through iTunes.

  • Fieldpoint and Labview 64 bit - why is the LabVIEW Support missing from MAX and the Measurement I/O Pallette?

    I am running Labview 2010 on a Windows 7 virtual Machine, I have installed Fieldpoint 6.0.7 with all the appropriate support. The VIs are in vi.lib. BUT, MAX doesn't show the LabVIEW support as existing, and the Measurement I/O pallette doesn't have the Fieldpoint VIs linked into it.
    Anyone out there with any idea what I might need to do to get these seen? I've uninstalled, re-installed, installed only sections, and so far - no sign of these VIs appearing.
    So, any ideas?

    Not quite. I can see Fieldpoint, but not the LabVIEW support section.
    The first screenshot is from my 32-bit system, the second is the one from the 64-bit system.

  • Why has the airplay symbol disappeared from ipad 2 after update?

    I responded to an IOS update request and now the ipad 2 does not show the airplay symbol. Both devices are on and connected to the wifi. Switching both on and off has not resolved it. It seems t o be a well known problem but this non tech savvy guy cannot fix it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Why is the youtube app missing from iOS 6

    I recently upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPad & iPhone 4S. I noticed that the YouTube app is missing. Pls advise on why this is happening?

    The youTube App is no longer included as a built-in App in iOS 6. It will probably be released as an App Store App in the near future. There is an iPhone YouTube App available now. You can also use Safari to access youTube http://m.youtube.com/

  • After update to ff22, why is the website icon missing in awesome bar?

    In older versions of ff, an icon(logo) of the website i was visiting appeared in the awesome bar just left of "http". Hovering the cursor over it brought up balloon with description. Now hovering over it brings up a balloon text that says this website does not supply ownership information. Such sites as ATT, Nationwide Ins, Microsoft, etc. I can survive of course without it, but just would like to know why the change. I see the icon better than I can read the text.
    HMMM.. after adding the trouble shooting tool just now, a blue puzzle piece just appeared in area I referenced. Just curious.

    Sorry, I am answering my own post. I finally found my answer under topic "How do I tell if my connection ....secure." If you wonder what I mean:
