Maverick. Mirroring Screen to TV Airplay Icon Not visible in Menu bar

Hi,
I recently upgraded my OS to Maverick 10.9.1 from Snow leopard. My Laptop is a Macbook 13" Aluminium Late 2008.
How do I get the Airplay Icon to appear in the Menu Bar so that I can Mirror whats on my macbook to my Television. This is the only reason that I upgraded to maverick as I was informed in an Apple Store that this is what I needed to do.
I have apple TV,(May 2013) and my Itunes is registered with this TV and works fine, as does my Iphone. I have also updated the apple TV with the latest software.
I have looked at the Display in preferences, and the show Mirroring options in the menu bar when available is ticked. There are no other options.
I can choose Apple tv in my sound options as my Output, so the macbook recognises the Apple TV, but only with sound, not Mirroring.
I hope this makes sense. I have gone through all of the apple help pages, and I am still no further forward.
Thanking you all in Advance
Greg Simms

AirPlay Mirroring (which allows you to mirror your screen to the Apple TV) is only compatible with 2011 and newer Macs, being this the reason why you do not see the mirroring icon. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
As you cannot use AirPlay Mirroring, you can use a third-party application that does the same job, like AirParrot.

  • Airplay icon not visible on 2012 MBA/Yosemite 10.10.1

    Equipment: MBA Mid 2012, running Yosemite 10.10.1
    My Macbook Air does not have an Airplay icon on the top toolbar. I am able to use Airplay on other devices on my local network (iPad mini to AppleTV, iPhone to Airplay speaker) without any issues, but my Macbook Air does not see the AppleTV or speaker.) I don't have anything like Airparrot installed, so I don't think it's a third party driver issue.
    Any suggestions on what to check next? I was able to do this fine under Mavericks.

    Some very basic troubleshooting at the end.
    AirPlay Mirroring - How to Use

  • Airplay icon disappeared from Yosemite menu bar. Yet appears in iTunes. How do I get it back so I can airplay from my mac-mini

    This seems to have transpired since the upgrade of my Motorola ARRIS SURFboard  modem/router to the duel band 2.4G/5G model. (white) All my apple products work great via WI-fi and I'm getting 58Mbps average. I can stream audio through iTunes. The existing issue is simply no icon to mirror or stream content from my mac-mini to the Apple TV.

    First, open System Preferences -> Displays, and make sure that the option "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" is ticked. If it is ticked, untick and tick it. Note that you can also try choosing your Apple TV there next to "AirPlay Mirroring" to check that it shows up correctly.

  • AirPlay icon keeps appearing in menu bar even though no devices are available

    I've been experiencing this issue on my 2014 MacBook Air ever since I upgraded to Yosemite.
    The AirPlay icon will randomly pop up in the menu bar and when I click on it, there are no AirPlay devices detected (which means the icon should have never popped up in the first place).
    The frequency in which this occurs appears to be completely random. Sometimes it will go a week or two between occurrences and other times it will pop up several times a day. Over the last week, it's been popping up every day (what finally prompted me to make this post).
    I've tried disabling both wireless and Bluetooth when the icon appears and it doesn't seem to have any effect.
    This is starting to get really annoying. There's always that little part of me that's worried about somebody seeing me type in my credit card info or something.
    Anyway, has anybody else experienced this? If this is some sort of bug, is Apple aware of it? Is there any way to just disable AirPlay altogether?
    Thanks

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • HT4557 Homesharing house icon not showing in menu bar & hr glass circle only half full on ipod when trying to connect to library.

    I seen others with the same issue and I read through the links and did not find the answer. In my instance, the homesharing is enabled in iTunes (version 11.5) and on my ipod 4 (version 6.1.3), but in iTunes the house icon and well as the “SHARED” part of the side menu do not show. When I select the library in my ipod the hr glass circle gets half way filled and then stops.
    I was thinking it might be my router, so I changed the security settings from WPA to WPA2 (as others have tryed which fixed thier issue) and back with no luck. There was a firmware update that was needed on my router, but that didn't fix it either.
    Shouldn't the house icon appear in iTunes regardless whether there is an internet connection to the other device (in this case my ipod)??? I had homesharing working on my old netbook a year or two ago and I thought the house icon always showed when enabled whether I had my system connected to a router or not. I could be wrong though.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello vio412,
    Thank you for providing the details of the Home Sharing issue you are experiencing.  The Home Sharing icon is not always visible.  If you would like it to show so that you can verify you are signed in with the correct account, you can follow these steps:
    Go to File > Home Sharing and choose Turn Off Home Sharing.
    Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
    When prompted, enter the Apple ID you'd like to use.
    Click Turn On Home Sharing, then Done.
    After you press done, it is normal for the Home Sharing icon to disappear.  I found these steps in the article listed below.  I recommend reviewing the full article to troubleshoot issues with Home Sharing:

  • Airplay working but icon not visible.

    I have just replaced my 2G iPod with a 5G. Although Airplay is working I cannot see the icon in 'Music', however, I can see it in Tunein radio from which I select my wireless speaker. When I return to 'Music' Airplay will work. The Airplay icon is visible on iTunes on my PC and my 2G iPod. Any suggestions?

    On the right hand side of the fast forward arrows when playing music - your question is making me think that the layout is not as my 2G iPod even though the icon appears in apps.

  • Sync Icon On my Top Menu Bar Suddenly Appearing !

    Hi,
    After 3 weeks of Lion, Icloud and Ios 5 Update, I notice the sync Icon on my Top Menu Bar. On clicking it it shows me SYNC NOW option.
    What is this for ? It was never there earlier and I have not changed a single setting & not done any recent updates either. Why is this suddenly appearing. On  Googling for the same it shows only how to remove it by Option Dragging it off... But does not say how to get it back. Do i need this ?
    The only change I Notice  just yesterday when I saw this Sync Symbol, is that on adding or deleting Calendar events on my Iphone, I would have to launch iCal on my Imac Earlier to see the updates. But now even though iCal is off (QUIT), it automatically launches and updates the entry. This is great but I only want to know how is this all happening automatically since just yesterday.
    On my other User profiles it is not hapening automatically and the sync icon is not visible !
    Please help.
    thanks
    cyrus !

    you can remove the sync icon by holding down the command key and then drag the sync icon from your menu bar

  • Howto do I remove the "Artwork Gofer" Icon in the iTunes menu bar?

    Hi folks,
    some years ago I installed "Artwork Gofer" for iTunes. Someday I seem to have deinstalled it but there still is a special icon in the iTunes menu bar of iTunes which I cannot remove. It sits right left to the "Help" menu. Clicking on the icon opens up a menu entry "Search Artwork". Clicking on it yields a dialogue message asking for the path to artwork gofer.
    Please help getting rid of the remnants of the plugin...
    Best Regards,
    Volker

    Found it, thanks to later posts in that thread I mentioned in the OP. Here is what they suggest (you have to use Photoshop):
    1. In Photoshop, go to Help >Updates:
    2. Click "Preferences" at the bottom right.
    3. Uncheck the box labeled "Notify me of new updates on the menu bar." Then click "Ok."
    Hope that helps anyone!
