TS2972 airplay icon missing on ipad for apple TV?

My kids had been using Apple TV and their iPod and iPad were connected to it. We had a power outage a few days ago and I believe that it may have caused them to somehow lose the icon on the ipad and iPod. We cannot figure out how to get them connected again. Please help!

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    5.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    6.    Restart your mobile device.

  • Airplay Icon Missing in iTunes for Mac

    If I use my apple tv then try to use itunes on my mac, the blue airplay icon switches from blue to orange. If I select the blue dots next to each of my airplay devices each line item device disappears. Once they're all gone the orange icon disappears entirely and I'm left with a grey area in itunes where the airplay icon normally is. I must restart itunes to get it back. I've had this issue sporadically for a few updates of itunes but with the latest update it now seems to happen every time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    It may be unrelated but playing internet radio stations that I've saved to playlists also makes the airplay icon disappear. I now must go to the full internet radio drop down menu to select a station to be able to play it over airplay.
    I'm using the latest itunes, OS X, and all devices are updated. I've reset SMC and PRAM.
    Thanks.

  • No Airplay on Macbook or iPad for Apple TV

    I am trying to get my MacBook (late 2008 model) onto my TV but nothing I do is working. AirPlay doesn't even show up on my desk top or anywhere else for that matter. I have Mountain Lion and so does my iPad but neither will mirror my activity on my tv. Are there limitations on certain MacBooks or iPads that can be preventing this?

    It's a 4th Generation iPad WiFi
    5MP rear camera
    Siri
    Silver aluminum back
    Lightning connector
    Front facing camera
    9.7-inch retina display
    A6X processor 

  • HT204291 I had airplay with my ipad 2 and the apple tv before for a while. For some reason after a sync, i can no longer find the airplay icon on my ipad. Any idea why?

    I had been using airplay on my ipad2 mirror to my apple tv. Worked fine for a while.
    I sync and backed up my ipad yesterday and i could no longer see the airplay icon.
    Anybody know why and the solution please?

    Is your Apple TV "awake"?  Sometimes the AirPlay icon won't show for me if the Apple TV is sleeping - pressing a key on the Apple remote ususally resolves it.

  • List of solutions for airplay icon missing in iTunes 11 (windows)

    It seems like there are a lot of problems out there with airplay and iTunes 11.  I think it would be great if Apple or someone were to make some sort of diagnostic tool for airplay.
    I am starting this thread in an attempt to collect some of the various solutions to the airplay problems.  Hopefully, other members of the community will add other solutions that they are aware of.
    Problem: Can't find the airplay icon in iTunes 11 for windows
    1) make sure you are looking in the right place.  The icon will appear to the right of the volume slider in the normal iTunes view.  If iTunes can't find any airplay devices, this icon will not be present and the area will just be blank.
    2) For me (iTunes 11.0.5.5), I did some system work in Windows 8 64-bit, and installed AdAware, and uninstalled it.  I think this reset my firewall settings.  The airplay icon was missing from iTunes but I was able to do airplay from my iPad over the network.  I searched the start menu for "firewall", started "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security", and in the Inbound Rules list I saw that I had 5 entries that started with "Airport".  2 of them were disabled.  I double clicked on each disabled rule, and changed the action from "Block the connection" to "Allow the connection".  After hitting ok and doing this for both blocked rules, I restarted iTunes and the airplay icon appeared and everything works fine.
    3) A popular solution which has worked for me in the past has been to switch the program to miniplayer view.  There you will hopefully see an airplay icon.  Some people say you should select each of the entries in the airplay list here in order to get them to "stick."  When you switch back to normal view, the airplay icon should remain visible.
    4) I have seen someone update their dd wrt (open source based) router firmware and had the problem go away.
    5) Some have had luck unplugging their airplay device (ie: receiver) for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
    Please add to this list if you can!

    Windows 7 64bit
    iTunes 11.1.2.32
    Apple TV (New Shape) / Airport Express 3rd Gen.
    I've had the issue of no Airplay button for the past few weeks. Strangely, it appeared randomly, but never stuck around for too long before disappearing. However, from reading this thread i uninstalled my wireless driver, and reinstalled from a generic windows search, and also installed Apple's Bonjour service (did this one after the other) and restarted my machine. All seems fine now, and the airplay button is there.
    Thank you all so much for your inputs in helping get a resolution. I hope this works for everyone else with the issue.

  • TS1398 I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and then mysteriously disappeared. When I click the music icon there is an airplay icon top right which is fine for music, but I can't mirror anything e

    I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and i used it for a couple of weeks to mirror with the Apple TV and then it mysteriously disappeared. Now when I double click and slide the icons at the bottom to far left, instead of finding airplay there is an extra music icon and a music control panel. If I open up the music app, there is an airplay icon top right next to volume control which works fine with mirroring the Apple TV, which suggests to me wi-if and networks are fine. I can only mirror music however. Any ideas anyone?

    Hello jsimard,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215?viewlocale=en_US
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.
    If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon  , try one of the following steps:
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, 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.Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.
    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).
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • 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 have new iPad + new Apple TV.Both in one Wifi network. Option Airplay enabled on Apple TV,but I can't see the AirPlay icon on my iPad 3? Any ideas? Thanks for advice

  • HT4437 I cannot locate the AirPlay icon on my iPad and iPhone. What Can i do?

    My Apple tv is on, such as my iPhone and iPad..
    All devices are connected to the same network and able to upload / download normally.
    All good but the airplay icon.. There is no AirPlay icon on either iPad or iPhone?
    On top of this, until few days ago both devices where able to AirPlay to my apple tv...
    Basically I have no clou about what's going on and would be grateful for support...
    Thanks

    Solved.. I simply disconnected and connected again all devices from the wifi network. I already did earlier and did not work but now it did.
    Maybe is due to the sequence. Now I disconnected first iPad and iPhone and afterwards the apple tv. Then i connected again all devices but in reverse order.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Airplay icon missing using Remote app

    I have an iphone 5, a 3th generation apple tv and an receiver Pionner Airplay compatible.
    The apple tv plays streaming my music library stored on iTunes Match.
    The songs are selected via the Remote app installed on my iPhone5.
    While using Remote app, I can not send music from the ATV3 to the receiver Pioneer because the Airplay icon does not appear.
    I also made these tests:
    If I use the remote control of the ATV3 instead of the Remote app, I see and I select the Pioneer among the members Airplay compatible
    If I use the Remote app to control iTunes server installed on a PC instead of ATV3, Airplay icon appears correctly and I see the Pioneer among the components Airplay compatible.
    In conclusion:
    Airplay functionality working correctly between ATV3 and  receiver Pioneer only if I use the remote control of the ATV3, but does not work if I use the Remote app from the iPhone 5 (Airplay icon missing).
    Any idea?

    I've just bought an Apple TV yesterday and what a surprise to find this behavior as well. I use the remote app for everything about the Apple TV but swapping left and right to adjust the volume of the Airplay speakers doesn't work, so I need to use the physical remote only for that. Hope it's a bug that will be corrected. Doesn't make sense.
