Airplay icon not showing on ipad 3

You have to actually be playing video content from the web via Safari for that feature to show up. I wasn't.

I turned off bluetooth on my laptop after trying to fix this for hours and it works great now.

It sounds like there is a problem with either the WiFi chip or antenna on your device which is dropping the WiFi connection. I would have it looked at.

I am having the same problem - told it has to do with Ports needing to be recognized - although that doesn't make alot of sense- Interesting that my Ipad, Iphone and Apple TV are all on the network and recognized, but they are not communicating. It worked fine when we installed it, for both music and mirroring, then after we upated the iOs to the latest yesterday, it all stopped working . any thoughts from anyone ?

Hi

I am having the same problem, the appleTv installed ok on my Tv I installed the update and enabled airplay but on my Ipad 3 version 6.1.3 there is no icon for airplay I have looked in videos and multitaking bar by the volume, I also tried resetting the Ipad. I cannot find the icon anywhere. Any suggestions - is this a common problem with Ipad3??

Thanks

Thanks for your reply I have tried all of these and the icon isn't in the music either.

I think I will have to give up and sell the appleTv and warn friends about this issue.

Apple needs to sort this - so much for buying the latest tech!!!

Thanks for the reply.

How do I find out if the modem is dual band - I have checked the manual and it doesn't say anything about dual band. The modem was brand new 2 years ago from the national telephone company for this country.

Thanks - just spent 30 minutes on the phone to telecom - first they said it was nothing to do with the modem but the apple products instead, by end said they only do one sort of modem and that the only option is to buy an apple router to plug into it.

Thanks for all your help

Just looked - Apple NZ doesn't sell apple routers / express - so I may have to go with buying one from overseas (UK has them).

I have ordered a ligthning HDMI connection from apple and will try plugging the ipad direct into the TV and if that works will then sell the appleTv and wait for NZ to catch up before trying to go wireless again.

Thanks again for all your help

Thanks

You are not talking to apple support here. This is a user group forum where people volunteer thief time to help others. If the suggestions you find here are not working then you should take your device to an apple store or call the apple support number for your area.

If you have tried all the R's might be time to get your iPad looked at.
