Missing AirPlay Icon

Actually, I've NEVER had an AirPlay icon. Not sure if that's because I've never had an enabled device, or I've always had issues that have prevented me from having the icon.
Running: Windows Vista, iTunes 11.0.3.42, trying to connect to Klipsch G-17 AirPlay Speakers (x4, but testing out just one... and having problems).
Router: Linksys WRT54G v8
Antivirus: Trend Micro Titanium
Works on my iPhone to the speakers directly.
Things I've tried:
- Unistalling all Apple software, reinstalling
- Confirming that Bonjour service is started
- Adding exceptions for iTunes and Bonjour in both Trend Micro and Windows Firewall
- Disabling IPv6 (since re-enabled)
- Updating my router firmware
- Disabling all router firewall settings (Block Anonymous Internet Requests, Filter Multicast, Filter Internet NAT Redirection, Filter IDENT(Port 113))
- Attempted to set a static IP for the speaker (not sure what to put for the DNS server/defualt gateway)
I've tried tons of other stuff I can't remember right now. Been working on this for hours. And again, works from my iPhone to the speaker directly.
I think what I'm looking at is an IP address conflict, which I'm told when I connect my speaker to the network. Not really sure what device it's conflict with, but I can disable DHCP and enter the information manually, just not sure how to make my router designate that IP for the router and what to enter for the DNS server and defualt gateway.
Any thoughts?

Couple other things I'd tried too:
- Switching to the Mini-Player and back
- Reinstalling my network card driver
I called Time Warner Cable for the DNS information, and apparently they don't support static IP for residential customers (I told them repeatedly how stupid this policy was). So I guess I spent $400 on speakers that I can't use.
Looks like the conflict is with my router's default gateway. Seems like something else is trying to pull that IP address. Linksys customer support is $29.99. Apple's same.
Not sure what to do.

IOS 8 upgrade and now missing airplay icon

I use AirPlay to stream music from both iTunes and Pandora on my iPhone 5 to an AirPort Express. After upgrading to iOS 8, I no longer have an AirPlay icon in Control Center. The AirPort Express and the iPhone 5 are both connected to the same network. The AirPort Express is very new (purchased new from Apple within the past 90 days). It all worked great before upgrading to iOS 8

APPLE...
The problem of a missing AirPlay icon and missing AirPlay devices has not yet been fully resolved. The variations I've seen (on an iPad 4) are
1) There is NO AirPlay icon, only AirDrop
2) The AirPlay icon is there but when you open its popup the local device (iPad) displays at the top of the list followed by one other device. If you now wait the shown device scrolls sideways and shows another available device
3) The AirPlay icon is displayed and its popup window contains a current list of all available streaming devices. This is what we want!
HInt: Possibly there is something going on concerning the streaming capabilities of the available AirPlay devices. I've noted that my AppleTV is usually first up when devices start to appear and this offers picture and sound streaming (also screen cloning from suitable devices). After this the audio only streaming devices appear.
APPLE PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS !

The curious case of the missing airplay icon

Hello everyone,
last night I noticed that the airplay icon was missing on my iPad. I didn't show up in videos, music or youtube.
When I turned on my iMac I saw that the icon was also missing in iTunes. The only thing I did yesterday was to connect my iPad to my iMac to sync iTunes.
I didn't do anything else really. That's why I figured it might be a good idea to update iTunes. Everything else is pretty much up to date and works fine. Also checked my router and wifi settings and couldn't detect anything out of the ordinary. Basically did everything people advised on the web. Resetting AppleTV didn't help either.
So right now I cannot mirror anything via AppleTV because the airplay symbol is missing on my iOS device as well as on my Mac. You probably know how much that s****. Does anyone have the same issues with airplay? Can anyone help me? I would really appreciate it!
Take care!

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.

HT204291 Missing airplay icon: unresolvable!

None of the "fixes" or reboots, restarts, or resets work! I've always found that there were simple solutions to problems with Apple products...But this one, while it is probably simple (!), is not findable....after iOS 7.o2 update and ATV update the airplay icon is missing from all devices....we have two iPads, and three iPhones. None show communication with our Apple TV. again, I've restarted, rebooted, resetted, everything in my house...

I may have accidently fixed a similar problem. Try changing a setting on the ATV. Go to Settings > General > Apple TV Name: to an option on the list (select it).
More info in my orginal post, and something else you can try if it doesnt work. Let me know if it works.

How do I restore missing AirPlay icon?

Just set up Airport Express as an extension to my network and successfully streamed music from iTunes on my iPad to my hi-fi. Wanted to see if I could stream music from my Tune In Radio app which didn't have an obvious way to connect to AirTunes. Followed some online advice and double clicked home button, scrolled across and found AirTunes icon, touched it but nothing happened - it seemed to freeze. went back to iTunes and AirTunes icon had disappeared entirely. Have tried all the usual tricks of turning router off and on, likewise with iPad and pulling Airport Express plug out and back in, have even tried changing language settings under International from English to French and back again (a fix that has worked for other) all to no avail.
AirTunes icon shows up Ok on other equipment in house. Any advice much appreciated.

Have also just tried restoring iPad from a previous back-up from about 6 week's ago but that hasn't resolved anything and AirPlay icon still mysteriously absent.

HT4352 Automatically missing airplay icon and iTunes library not listed on Apple TV computer screen

Home sharing and network connections are ON - ATV, iTunes & iPad mini. Neither device shows in iTunes nor Libraries in computer main screen on ATV. Nothing is automatically showing up as the instructions say... Neither is AirPlay icons... What's wrong?

You need Mountain Lion and a compatible modern Mac for Airplay mirroring. Does your system satisfy Apple's requirements?

Missing Airplay icon in iTunes

I purchased a second Airport Express to tie a 2nd stereo into our Airplay network. I have two Airport Express units and a Denon home theater receiver that I purchased just because of Airplay. We are running the latest Version 12 iTunes and the Airplay icon has completely disappeared from the screen. I read an earlier string about this happening that recommended unchecking the IPV6 in the network connection properties. I did this, and the icon returned briefly, even let me pull down the menu where it saw the devices, then I tried to connect multiple. The rings circled for a few seconds and the icon and menu disappeared. I cannot get it to come back. I disabled the Symantec Endpoint Protection, thinking that might be a problem. Still nothing. Anyone have any further ideas? Running Windows 7 Pro. BTW: All devices and Airplay work fine from our iPads and iPhones.

Sorry, it is an Apple TV3, not 2

Missing Airplay Icon in Windows 7 PC.

I have a Pioneer-vsx-1326-k receiver with airplay and am able to use Airplay on my Iphone4 and a Win 2K PC but not the Win 7 PC (actually a Macbook Pro running windows 7).
I have seen a number of threads about this issue but none of the fixes have helped.
Any fixes anyone?

Airplay icon missing in iTunes, unable to set up Airport Express

Got a new Mini yesterday, replacing an old underpowered model with a 2.5 Ghz, 4GB, Radeon model for running an HTPC setup. Woo Hoo!
Spent part of yesterday setting everything up. Very easy to do with the Assistant moving old files to new machine. Everything is running great. Strong signal to the new Mac from my Airport Extreme base station.
Except...
I am trying to switch my AIrport Express from being a network extender (not needed with new Mini) to running speakers/headphones in another room using Airplay.
I don't see the Airplay icon in the lower right corner of iTunes, and my AE does not show up in Airport Utility. Home Sharing is on in iTunes. Running newest iTunes 10.5.2. I have read all the support articles, but the missing Airplay icon is the stumper.
Any ideas?

Update: I think I figured out the problem.
1. I had to do a hard reset on the Airport Express to get it to appear in the Airport Utility list of devices. Use a paperclip to push the tiny recessed button on the bottom of the AEX and hold it until the light blinks green several times. This wipes the old settings.
2. Then I had to change the AEX settings from the old setup (WDS network) to the new "Join existing network."
3. The Airplay menu in iTunes appears and disappears depending on whether Airplay devices are detected. This is not in any of the Apple documentation that I could find. The AEX is there now. I choose "Multiple speakers" so music could play thru my regular HT speakers and also upstairs on the AEX.
Hope this helps someone else in the future.

ITunes Airplay Icon Missing (iTunes 12, Windows 8.1)

Hi, all.
I'm new to the forum and did search for this topic, but most items I found were for 2013 and 2014.
I just updated to iTunes 12.1.1.4 and run Windows 8.1. I have an Apple TV in the media room, Apple Airport Express hooked up to a speaker in the living room, and an iHome iW1 speaker in the kitchen on my network.
On my iPad Air 2, I can see:
- Apple TV
- Airport Express
- iHome iW1
On my iPhone 6, I can see:
- Apple TV
- Airport Express
On my Windows machine, I can see:
- Nothing. There is no Airplay icon.
I'm willing to write off the iPhone issue. The iHome product has always been a bit buggy requiring way more restarts/resets than I thought was reasonable. But the Windows missing Airplay icon is maddening. It's the only way to broadcast music to more than one speaker in my pseudo-Sonos setup.
I've tried various fixes (restarts, modem restarts, IPv6/IPv4 switch on & off) with no luck. Anyone else experiencing this problem and/or have a suggested fix? Thanks!

I have an Iphone 4S on ios7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver from Pioneer (VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router. I no longer get the airplay icon on my iphone? Any suggestions?

I have an iphone 4S on ios 7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver (Pioneer VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router and the roouter is working fine with the five elements on the network. Prior to the upgrade to 7.0.3 and the router upgrade the airplay feature working fine and i was able to consistently use airplay to stream music th the AV receiver. After the upgrades the airplay icon no longer appears on my iphone or on my macbook running itunes. Any suggestion on how to trouble shoot the missing airplay icon is much appreciated.

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

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.

I just upgraded to mountain lion. I am unable to use airplay mirroring through my apple tv. They are both on the same network. It says a airplay icon should appear in the menu bar but it isn't there. What am I missing here?
