Why do I not have an airplay icon on my ipad mini

I have just purchased an Apple TV and now discover that I do not have the airplay icon on my ipad mini or on my iphone 4S. does anyone else have this problem? what is the solution?

Make sure Apple TV is properly setup.
1. Setup Apple TV
(a) Connect cables and power cord
(b) Turn on TV and select Input
(c) Configure Apple TV e.g. Language, network
2. Setup Home Sharing on iPad
Settings>Music/Video>Home Sharing
3. Setup Home Sharing on Apple TV
Settings>Computer>Turn on Home Sharing. Enter Apple ID and Password
4. Pair Apple TV with Remote Control
General>Remotes>Pair Apple Remote

    I have a weather icon on the homepage of my iPhone and iPod, but not on my iPad mini.  Is this normal?

    My IPad does not have the Airplay icon.  Can it be updated to include this icon or do I need to buy a new IPad?

  • HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

    Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS3992 I have an unknown Icon on my Ipad mini..screen is locked & will nt let me in.

    I have an unknown icon on my Ipad mini.
    The screen also says
    Cannot Back Up
    This ipad cannot back up to iCloud
    without a verified email address

    Tty a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that clears it then in Settings > iCloud does your account id show correctly ?

  • Why do I not see the Airplay icon on any device?

    Hello everyone
    None of my Apple devices show the Airplay icon anymore.  The devices I have are :
    *  Apple TV 2nd Gen (MC572B/A - v5.3)
    *  MacBook Mid 2007 13-in running OS X Lion 10.7.5
    *  MacBook Late 2009 13-in running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    *  2x iPhone 4S (both running iOS 6.1.3)
    Other non-Apple devices are 2x 2013 Amazon Kindles, a PS3, Sky HD+ Box w/Wireless Receiver.
    I received my Apple TV in Christmas 2011 and I had not noticed a problem with Airplay until I got Sky in February 2013.  My network was running on WEP connection as both of the MacBooks had problems using WPA/WPA2 connections when initially setting up the Wifi a couple of years before.  It turned out that the Sky box would only play with a WPA connection.  It's from here that Airplay stopped working.  Previously we could use everything associated with Airplay - stream music from all devices, send pictures and video, and also stream content from iTunes to the Apple TV including films and TV Programmes.  Our Apple devices can now connect to the Internet using a WPA connection (the 2007 MacBook cycles for a long time but that is another issue) so this is not a problem, and it's worth noting that all of my non-Apple devices work absolutely perfectly and always have done (also including previous smartphones etc).
    I have tried the following solutions :
    *  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215 (Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring);
    *  Changing the DNS Servers (Unsuccessful);
    *  Restarting the Router (AirPlay icon showed for less than 15 minutes before disappearing again);
    *  Restarting Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
    *  Toggling AirPlay in Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
    *  Deleting the WiFi network in Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
    *  Deleting the WiFi network on my 2007 MacBook and manually adding it (Unsuccessful);
    *  Deleting the WiFi network on both iPhone 4S' (Unsuccessful);
    *  Removing the Firewall from my router (Unsuccessful);
    *  Changing the security options on my router (Unsuccessful);
    *  Powering off all devices and back on (Unsuccessful);
    *  NOTE : Home Sharing is turned ON and is visible on Apple TV;
    What else can I try that isn't listed?  A follow up question is if I bought an Airport Express (I don't want to tbh), would that immediately solve the lack of AirPlay and cycling issues?
    Thanks in advance

    Just to finish this discussion off, the issue was 100% the router firmware.  Please see the below, direct from the support pages of www.plus.net :
    The  585v8 v8.2.7.7 firmware is known to cause wi-fi connectivity problems with certain Apple computers. To fix this problem we recommend that you upgrade to v8.2.7.8 that features updated wi-fi drivers from the chipset manufacturer. No official upgrade tool exists for Apple computers so you may need to reflash the firmware using a Windows computer instead.
    I did this yesterday after borrowing a PC and it fixed all of the issues I was having - no Airplay icons, cycling for wifi networks, dropped connections - all of these righted themselves after a firmware update.
    The reason it wasn't the first thing tried was that I was under the impression that a) my router had up to date firmware as it wasn't clear on my ISP's website, and b) that my router firmware would have updated automatically as there was no option to update on my routers settings page.
    The WEP security issues were a bit of a red herring tbh.  When I first joined my ISP downgrading the security was the advice given after I experienced initial connection problems, but this was probably due to a lack of updated firmware at the time - the issues had to be related to security which would have been solved by an open network.  Obviously this is not ideal, so a WEP connection was a wobbly middle ground.
    Thanks for everyone's help.

  • When sending or receiving messages, why does it not show up for me on my iPad mini and my iPhone. It only shows up on whatever device I am using at that time.

    HOw can I get my messages that I have sent or received to appear on my iPad mini as well as my phone?

    Me too, ipad mini can't get YouTube app to function via the official app and the same error message," ...tap to retry", but to no avail. The app launches but it will not allow me to sign in. The drop arrow just tilts up and down and ...nothing. I can still access YouTube through Safari browser but strange, I can't find a solution to the app not opening or being able to sign in on either ipad mini or phone even though they are up to date apps.

  • Why do I not have a wifi icon on my screen?

    I am connected to my wifi network but I have no icon showing the signal strength.  I turned off my cellular network so I am certain I connected to the internet via my wifi network but there is no wifi icon on my screeen.

    Try:
    - 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.
    -Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why can't i see the skype icon on my ipad mini?

    the app has been installed for ages and i just recently noticed that the icon was was gone.
    I went to itunes, and sure enough it exists as one my purchases,and i expected to be able to reload form the cloud.
    however instead of the cloud download logo or the "buy" button, there was a button with "open" on it and sa soon as i press it, the app pops open on the ipad.
    so, the software is ceary  still there, but where's the start icon button thing gone, and how to get it back?

    Perhaps you have placed the Skype App in an App folder or moved it to a new App page?

    Reboot your router. The icon only shows when connected to wifi and Apple TV or similar device. Same thing happened with my phone and the icon appeared in control center after router reboot.

  • HT201343 My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why  ?

    My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why  ?

    The Airplay icon will not display if the OS is unable to locate any Airplay devices.
    I would check that both devices are connected to the same network and maybe even power cycle the network devices - eg router etc
    Maybe even try to connect both devices to another network like an iPhone personal Hotspot and see if that helps to isolate the problem

    used to have a airplay icon on computer. now i can not find it? could anyone help?

    I had the same problem -- a recent update to my apple tv set my airplay settings (on the apple tv to off); ensure you have airplay re-enabled on the apple tv after updating.

    my iPad does not show the Airplay icon.  The software is iOS 7.0.4, I have home sharing turned on and have an Apple TV. What should I do?

    If you don't see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center:
    1. Turn off router, Apple TV and iPad
    2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
    3. Turn on Apple TV and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
    4. Turn on iPad (wait 30 seconds) and test AirPlay
