Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you have an old version of iTunes and Airplay is not working. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from iTunes on your computer - Apple Support
If you don't see the AirPlay icon in iTunes
When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see
to the right of the volume slider in iTunes.If you don't, try these steps:
- Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV software.
- Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network. If you're using Ethernet, connect both devices to the same router or hub. If you're using Wi-Fi and Ethernet, connect your AirPlay device to the same router that your computer is using for Wi-Fi.
- Restart your computer, AirPlay device, and network router.
- On your AirPlay device, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Some devices have an option to turn AirPlay off. Look for an AirPlay option in Settings, or check the user guide for more information.

I'm familiar with Airplay having used it in my Living Room since 2007.
What would you do if you did see the AirPlay icon in iTunes, but iTunes refused to connect ?

After reviewing your post, it sounds like iTunes can see the AirPlay icon but is not able to connect to it. I would recommend that you check the network settings with this article.
