Problems with Airplay in iOS 8?

I agree, this is not an issue of finding the icon in the control panel as others have noted. For those of us on iPads streaming to receivers it has always been in the control panel. The current issue is that with the current iOS release (8.0.2) the "Airplay" button appears intermittently in the control panel. Additionally, when it does appear and you select your device, it does not stay connected. If it drops the connection and then you go back to control panel you find the "airplay" button has disappeared. When it eventually returns, all is good....and then it is not again.

This is a new issue for me since "upgrading" the OS. Prior to this for the past year this worked flawlessly.

For those who will want to ask:

iPad Air (although same issue occurring with 2 iPhone 5

Receiver: Yamaha RX-V667

Streamed media: iTunes and iTunes Radio

uupgraded to ios8 on my iPhone 4s and iPad and like others seen here lost the ability to AirPlay to Pioneer VSX-922 (Apple tv still showing)

Until ?????? I airplayed iTunes to the amp from my 27" iMac then the AirPlay tabs by magic reappeared on both my portable devices running iTunes, iplayer radio , remote, etc?

Here it's working again after applying 8.0.2. iPhone 5S and Denon AVR-X3000. It's playing now (Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, btw, its wonderful :-), connected at the first attempt, can't yet say if I was lucky or if it's fixed.

Worked for me too. After updating iPhones to 8.0.2 airplay for Denon X4000 and B&W A5 showed up again.

I have been having the same problem with my iPad 4th gen and my Fidelio AD7000W. On the advice of someone earlier in this thread, I recycled the power on my router, iPad, and Fidelio. Lo and behold, the Airplay speaker appears in Control Panel. Listening to Frank Morgan as I type.

Shouldn't be necessary to go through this hoo-hah, but if it works, I guess I'll do it. Still waiting another week or two before I touch my other Apples, though.

Forget what I said - the Airplay speaker disappeared after about 5 minutes. Not happy...

I am having similar issues with AirPlay on my iPhone 6+.

Streaming audio to to an airport express, and it keeps cutting out.

Every 40-60 seconds it seems, there will be a little pause/skip.

Highy annoying!

The only thing that fixes it is resetting network settings, but the problem comes back after a few hours.

I've been resetting 3-4 times a day, and of course have to re-enter all my network passwords and preferences.

The problem also comes back immediately after syncing to my Mac, til I reset network settings again.

I Updated airport express to the latest firmware and iPhone to 8.0.2, but no change.

I have the same problem: Since i upgraded to ios 8, i've been having some troubles with airplay in my DENON X2000. After 3 minutes the music goes away... Evean if I send to APPLE TV, the quality is not the same. Apple, please fix this problem (back to the past: airplay function)!

🙂

OK, so I finally have my iPad 2 streaming to my Pioneer VS1122K, and have yet to try streaming to the Pioneer A2.

This was done leaving the Pioneer receiver on (not sure this is important, but want to be thorough), then I went to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network.

Then the iPad cycled, and came back on, and I had to re-connect to my home wifi.

Then in Music player, in the AirPlay icon, the stereo came up as an available destination, clicked it, and it is streaming now.

I'm hoping this works for everyone else as well...

Airplay has been only in Control Center since the release of iOS 7.

Ok, maybe this will help others --- I have tow iPad Air, 2 iPhone 5 and an iPhone 6. I was experiencing the same trouble. I attributed to the iOS8 upgrade. However, I was finding that I was having the same trouble with my devises that were not upgraded. So, I reset the access points and the routers as well as rebooted my Yamaha receiver. Then I rebooted the iOS devices (all of them). Once I cycled through all of this I now see the receiver in the Airplay pane in control center and the Airplay pane shows up all the time in the iOS devices. In a couple of instances it took 30 seconds or so to show up the first time, after I started playing the media (radio in iTunes). So far so good -- all devices have worked without interruption for the past two days.

I don't know the root cause sorry.

Same problem withe iPhone 5 and iPad Air and Denon AVR2113 after iOS 8 install., no AirPlay icon. 10.9 iMac works fine.

iOS Reset ( without backup ) does not help.

Same issue here. I had a airplay denon receiver that can be seen from my iTunes on my mac but not from my iOS 8 iPhone 4s!

ARE APPLE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

Rebooting my router worked for me as well. Thanks @RSObregon!!
