Airplay icon disappeared from iTunes

The icon was on the bottom until yesterday and was able to remotely play songs on my ATV. Today the icon is gone from iTunes.

Anybody has any idea, why this is happening ?

Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Is your computer connected to the same network as you're ATV? Obviously it was yesterday, but it may have jumped onto a different network today.

Also - have you confirmed the ATV is switched on and also on the network?

Unplug your ATV for a few seconds. Perhaps cycling the power will help. Doing so resolved my airplay issue yesterday.

Weird, but I also though it was gone -- until I saw that it is a different, weird icon now. Look in the same spot for an icon that looks more like a square and triangle. Click on it and you'll get the Airplay functionality. Still -- why did they change it???

I know it's the square icon on the bottom right hand corner. But it disappeared on my desktop. The icon is still visible on my laptop though.

The day before, i was able to use the icon on both of my computers simultaneously.

All right. Well then, I would only suggest the same solution Des Collins had. Check if you're connected to the same network as your ATV. Maybe your computer falsely logged into an open neighboring network or isn't connected at all.
