The Home share icon has disappeared

I Have had apple TV  for a week now, yesterday the home share icon dissapeared from the top of the page on my MAC air. I can stream Music and share photo's with Pioneer TV but cannot share anything viewd on my Mac. Apple tv is otherwise working fine ? Any help appreciated.

Hi oggy60,
I recommend checking out this article of troubleshooting steps for when the AirPlay icon is missing:
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215
The icon will only appear if your device or computer is logged onto a Wi-Fi network which has an AirPlay-enabled recipient, such as Apple TV (2nd generation or 3rd generation).
If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon, try one of the following steps:
Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information). 
I hope this helps!

    Do you have Time Machine enabled.   If so, go back through your previous months until it features in your Application folder.   Then restore.

  • HT1212 I have a first generation Ipad.  the App Store icon has disappeared from my homescreen.  I have tried everything that is recommended and nothing works.  One of the steps asks me to enter a passcode that I have never set up.  ??? how to fix?

    How do you retrieve the App Store Icon on a first generation ipad?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ? Is that the passcode that you are referring to, for the Restrictions screen ?
    If it is and you don't know what it is then could anybody else have set it, and do you know if it was on the iPad when you last backed up ? If it wasn't then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up and you don't know what it is then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

  • How do I re-install the home toolbar, it has disappeared!

    I updated my version to use facebook and since then I have no toolbar. I loaded yahoo as my homepage and there is no toolbar on that either
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == yesterday

    Hit the '''Alt''' key ''(Cmd for Mac)'' to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

  • My magnifier (the magnifying glass icon) has disappeared. How do I restore it?

    I am trying to get rid of a program I accidentally downloaded. The instructions say to click on the magnifier to begin. Well, it was there but now it is gone. How do I get it back?

    Sorry, did not know it wanted money. There are many free mal-ware scans,
    but like that one, some of then want money.
    As to the downloads, I wrote this some time ago;
    It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you
    into installing not only their program, '''but other programs as well'''.
    You have heard of the '''fine print in shady contracts''', right? Well, some
    installers you need to look at the '''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''.
    You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program
    you want by using the '''recommended''' option. But if you use the
    '''Manual Option Instead''', you discover all kinds of stuff that
    '''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''. From now on,
    everyone needs to '''Use The Manual Option''' to put a stop to this.

  • App store Icon has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    The App store Icon has disappeared off my iPhone 4, hence have no access to download apps direct from the phone or see if any need updating. Anyone got any bright ideas how I can get the icon back ?

    I had the same problem and tried both of the suggestions listed above. The "Reset" idea did not work. The problem was instead in the "Restrictions." I had to "Allow" "Installing Apps." I don't know how I disallowed that in the first place, but for me, this was the solution. Thanks!

  • My camera icon has disappeared.  I tried the pushing home button twice....have no idea what they are talking about....that didn't do anything.

    Camera icon has disappeared.  Help please.

    Depending on what iOS version you have, the camera button can be accessed from the lock screen, or from within the home screen. If the phone is locked, tap the home button once and you should see the Slide to Unlock and to the right of that, the camera button. That button is designed to be slid upwards to access the camera.
    If you go to the home screen, find the camera app icon and tap on that, the camera should open. The camera could be in one of the folders you have on any of your home screens. If you still cannot find it, go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. That should bring it back.

  • The buy icon has disappeared from my itunes store. How can I purchase songs??

    The buy icon has disappeared from my itunes store...how can I purchase songs??

    The Youtube app was removed by Apple in iOS6.  You can use either the iPhone app from Youtube (free in the app store, but you've got to set it at 2x), or go to www.youtube.com in a Safari web browser.  You can also add the web page to your Home Screen using the share feature.  It will then operate just like an app.

  • I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

    I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

    You can't delete it.  Look on all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

  • My ipod is able to receive new mail and I can read it but I can't respond.  the reply icon has disappeared

    My ipPod Touch is able to receive new mail and I can read it but I can't respond or forward.  The reply icon has disappeared.  I am also not able to compose a new message.  It's like the whole bottom line on the screen has disappeared.  Mail has worked fine until yesterday.  How do I get this capability back?

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Mail>the accont and turn it off and turn it back on
    - Note the following will delete all mail already download on the iPod:
    Go to Settings>Mail>the account and delete the account from the iPod and reenter the settings
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
