Why has Airplay icon on iTunes and Apple TV function suddenly vanished in 10.8.5?
So it was fine yesterday, as it has been for the past couple of months. Tonight - nothing, unable to watch films etc from iTunes library on my TV. Wifi etc all fine. Is something up in Cupertino? Over the weekend I suddenly couldn't send email from my iMac or my iPhone - iCloud seemed to have reverted to me.com; earlier tonight my iPhone 4S suddenly disabled itself - and no, nobody had put in the password number incorrectly. Three failings in three days ... anyone else seeing these disturbing gremlins?
There is nothing wrong with Apple and nothing that happens in Cupertino has any affect on AirPlay working for individual users.
The vast majority of AirPlay issues are the result of a network issue, troubleshoot the network.

I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books Itunes has been my only source for my media needs. 397 Apps 759 Songs over 100 Videos 13 books 3 IPhones 2 IPods So here is my problem with ITunes I purchased an App and it is identical to one I have already brought. The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do. I wrote sup[port and asked if they could issue a credit. Mari at support wrote back and said he checked with his supervisor and they could not issue a credit. I told them what a good loyal customer I have been to Itunes and Apple and they still refused. Granted the App did not cost a lot of money (3.99) but it’s the principle. With customers having options to shop anywhere I would think a business would do whatever it takes to retain the loyal customers they do have Occasionally I rush to buy an App without fully understanding if it meets my needs. According to ITunes support that has occurred nine times. Here is the last reply that I received Roger, I know how frustrating it can be when things don't work the way they should be and I do apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. I am sorry but we could not be able to grant your request as we have made 9 exceptions on you. For more information on Apple's requirements for using the iTunes Store, please refer to the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html Again, I am hoping for your kind understanding regarding this matter. Sincerely Mari iTunes Store/Mac App Store Advisor
"The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do."
You've already had 9 refunds? You understand that apps are sold on a non-return policy, presumably. You bought an app that didn't claim to do something that you wanted from it, and now that you've found that it doesn't, you want your money back.
Perhaps you've failed to explain your point properly but I can't see why you expect any sympathy from users here, not that it would make any difference. Only the store staff can issue refunds if they think appropriate. Chalk it up to experience. You could even contact the developer in advance of a purchase if you want to be certain an app does what you want. Then if it really fails to live up to the promise you would at least have a better argument for a refund.

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.
I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time! -

No airplay icon in itunes 10.6.3
Hi,
I have recently purchase an AppleTV and I can get it to connect to the internet, I can push from my iPhone and I can see the music library on my PC but I cannot see the airplay icon in iTunes on the PC so I cannot push from the PC to the AppleTV.
I have tried reinstalling all Apple programmes on the PC but nothing changed.
They are both on the same network and that network has access to the internet (it is the personal hotspot on my iPhone)
The image below is a cut from the preferences screen in iTunes...is something wrong there?
Thanks!!Doesn't matter...solved...for others who have that issue try:

i have downloaded a tune and it has com as an MP4 file i wanted MP3 why has it come as MP4 and what can i do it is no good to me as an MP4 file
Tracks sold by the iTunes Store have been AAC since the Store first opened. They've never sold tracks in MP3 format. You can convert the tracks, though, if you need them as MP3. See:

Have a problem with Home Sharing with Apple TV and iTunes. Have latest iTunes and Apple TV downloads. Have both items set up for home sharing with same address and passwords. AppleTV running fine for everything else. FYI, my library is about 60gigs. AppleTV model is MD199LL/A if that matters. Really want to hear my entire music library and not just Purchased items. Thanks for any help!!!
I have an older PC with Windows XP Professional on it. I updated to the latest iTunes and I am able to access the photos, etc. on it. However, my Windows 7 PC still does work (since last Apple TV update). Apple TV does not recognize that Home Sharing is turned here. The latter PC has all my current photos on it which I would like share with others on my Apple TV. A fix would be appreciated.

Home sharing problem with music between iTunes and Apple TV
iTunes 10.5.2.11
Apple TV2 running 4.4.4 (3330)
Windows 7 pc
WI FI connection
Apple TV is losing its connection to iTunes on my windows 7 pc after streaming EXACTLY TWO SONGS. I've never had this problem until the last update of iTunes to 10.5.2.11 and Apple TV 4.4.4. Home sharing is on in both iTunes and apple TV. I launch my computer from apple TV and open the music folders, select an album/playlist or even shuffle (doesn't matter what I do). Apple TV will play two songs and then lose its home sharing connection to my iTunes songs. TheBuffering icon continues to spin as it looks for the next song on the playlist, but the \song never starts playing. If I sue the apple TV remote to return to the main menu, it is apparent that my computer is no longer visible to apple tv.
The only temporary "fix" (which again only works for EXACTLY TWO SONGS) is to re-start home sharing on my pc or apple tv. Obviously, you can't listen to music by continuously turning on/off home sharing on eiter device. Doesn't matter which device I choose to restart home Sharing.
I've spent considerable time troubleshooting this issue. It is NOT a router issue, nor is it a signal quality issue. I'm able to stream feature-length movies from iTunes to apple TV without issue. It's only music files. The cynic in me thinks its apple wanting me to spend $25 to put my music in its iCloud service.
Other troubleshooting that I've tried. None successful.
Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
Tried a fresh install of iTunes on a brand new windows 7 maching
Restored my apple TV.
disconnected / re-connected outlook.bump to Apple. Many people are having this issue and no fix yet!

Hi please help me i try to downgrade my iPad ios to 8.1.3 to 8.1.2 and an error occursd and can't open my iPad only the icon of iTunes and charger appeared please help
That means that it's gone into recovery mode - connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and reset it back to factory defaults.
Downgrading the iOS version isn't supported by Apple. -
I have an original Ipad, I tired to update it, but during the update it gave me an error message (1602) an now it just has a picture of itunes and a ubs cord? Please help!!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
