Thanks. Though I couldn't find airplay icon with ios7.0.4. This is the only thing missing from control center. Could it be removed from the latest iOS?
You won't see the AirPlay icon unless you have Apple TV.
If you have Apple TV and you still 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
Thanks again. I don't have Apple TV. I was trying to connect iPad through a hdmi converter to TV. After using Amazon instant video for free movie as I am a prime member, the movie can only be played on iPad but not on TV. It flagged that I need to turn off airplay mirroring.
I guess if there is no airplay icon unless there is an Apple TV, I'll not be able to turn it off in order to display movie on TV (instead iPad). Not sure whether Amazon know how to solve this issue.
I've had this problem ever since I was at my friend's house- she has Apple TV- and my iPad connected automatically. So, I have no idea why any of the practical solutions that people think of are not options BUT, in terms of just getting it done, I did figure out a way. The key for me was getting near another Apple TV. I was out of town so I took my iPad to another friend's house who also has TV. Once I was logged onto their wireless network (the same network that their Apple TV is on-- that's how it connected in the first place), then the Airplay icon and options showed up from the bottom-draw menu and I was able to make sure that mirroring was turned off from the Apple TV section and to make sure the selection was on iPad instead. Problem solved. Now whether or not this will stay the same (rather than me having to make sure it stays at this setting everytime I link up to a network that has an Apple TV on it) I don't know. So my advice is find someone with Apple TV and connect to their network with your iPad and then change it.
