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.

Have a good one,
Alex H.

  • 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.

  • Airport icon now gone from iTunes how to get back?

    why has my Airport disappeared from iTunes and more important, how do I get it back?

    Is it on another screen?  If so go to the screen where it appears and put your finger on the icon and leave it there until the icon wiggles and then drag the icon to the screen you want them to be on.  If you cant find the icons (native apps that come with the phone cnat be deleted) go to settings>general>reset then reset home screen layout

  • Iphone ical icon disappeared from screen-how to get it back?

    My ical icon disappeared from my main screen on my 4G iphone. I can still access the calendar by using spotlight so I know it's on the phone but how can I replace icon?

    Stock apps can't be deleted, so either its been moved to another page or placed in a folder. If you're positive you've looked on every page & in every folder and still can't see it, do this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. See if you see it now.

    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?

  • HT1600 how to get air play icon on iPad

    I have tried all of the recommended steps to get the air play icon on my ipad without success.  It was on my ipad at one time. 

    Google Play Services is not supported on BB10.
    The only option available is something called Lucky Patcher. It takes a few extra steps but I've been successful in getting some of these apps to work after patching the apk with Lucky patcher.

  • Where is the "Air Play" icon in iTunes11?

    I have iTunes 11.01.12 running on my PC with Windows XP.  iTunes runs properly, but the "Air Play" icon is not visible in the header next to the volume slider, as indicated in the iTunes help guide.  How do I get iTunes to display the "Air Play" icon?

    I was able to fix this by following the instructions here [1].  It seems like this was specific to my Asus router, so not sure if others are seeing similar issues with other branded routers.

  • Air play icon

    I'm using Air Play to a Yahama receiver. The Air Play icon has disappeared from Itunes. Is there a way to reload it? Thanks

    Hello!
    Shut down your Windows PC. Then unplug all you networkrouting devices as well as the Yamaha reciever from power for about one minute. Start everything back up again.
    Solved?

  • I cannot get Air Play icon on any devices when used at work

    On my advice we just got Apple Tv for our clinic but none of us can get the air play icon on our iPads or iPhones to mirror to the apple tv.  Shouldn't we be able to mirror our devices onto the apple tv?

    Here are just a few basic troubleshooting steps. Tell me more about the iPad 2. Is it wifi only? I'm asking because both the iPad and iPhone, if set up for cellular, will connect to the Web without connecting to your network. If the iPad is cellular, start by turning off the cell capability.
    Restart your wireless router.
    Give it a few minutes to boot up. Then connect the iPad to your wireless router. Turn on your AppleTV, and ensure it is connecting to the exact same wireless router. Make sure both are indeed receiving data from that router.
    Then go and perform the steps required for AirPlay. Let us know how you do.
