Problems with Airplay in iOS 8?

Try going into Airplane Mode, and then turning it back off.

This fixed it for me...

Same issue here with my denon after Update. iPad with 8.0, iPhone6 with 8.1

Workarounds do not work.

Everything was fine for years.

HELLO APPLE, YOU MOST VALUABLE COMPANY: ARE YOU READING YOUR FORUM?

Yes i have this issue as well. as soon as a press the home button or lock the screen airplay shuts off. and even notification centre/ control centre disappears unless I use assistive touch which is annoying.

IOS 7 was a much better OS than iOS 8 the few gimmicks are not worth the android feel of the insatiability that drives apple customers insane.

We should be able to downgrade from iOS 8 > iOS 7.

I have 2x AppleTV(3rd Gen.) 3x iPhone5, iPhone4s, iPhone5c, iPad with retina display, and Macs and this airplay issue is driving me absolutely insane.

Try this. It worked for me.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:

• previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
• recently used Bluetooth accessories
• VPN and APN settings

Try using bluetooth I have a speaker and its what I've always used for it.

Had the same problem with my Denon AVR-x2000. No airplay from my iPhone 4S on ios 8.0.2. Found this thread and upgraded to 8.1 and like magic the x2000 showed up as an airplay choice again.

I am on Denon's latest Firmware for my 4311.

I am on OSX 10.9.5 on my MBP Retina (iTunes 12), via WLAN, 10.9.5 on my iMac (iTunes 11), via Ethernet.

I am on IOS 8.1 on my iPad Air and Mini Retina.

I am on IOS 7.x on my iPad 2.

None of the devices could connect any more for more than fractions of a second to the Denon before I rebooted the Time Capsule.

I rebooted my Time Capsule (only used as WLAN bridge using IP4), latest firmware.

I rebooted my main LAN Switch where the Time Capsule and the Denon are connected to (Denon through an additional switch).

I powered off (unplugged mains cable) my Denon.

Switched everything back on (tried any order, and more than once).

After I rebooted the Time Capsule, the MBP Retina (running iTunes 12) was able to connect (exactly once), but after pausing the music I was listening to, everything locked up again for any device - even rebooting again everything didn't help any more this time. Now when carefully watching what's happening, I can see my Denon changing the volume sometimes from -60dB to -6dB or -infinity (unpredictable), sometimes it doesn't change the volume when I switch any of the Devices to Airplay on the Denon. The Denon always tries to switch to AirPlay, but falls back to the NET source menu immediately: not a fraction of sound audible before falling back.

AirPlay works just fine against Apple TV 3 (?, the 1080p box) with its latest firmware from any device.

I am a bit cueless. Sometimes I suspect the latest Denon firmware update (a few months? weeks? ago), sometimes I suspect the apple stuff. So much for "originally licensed by" and believing that living in the apple universe would make things a little bit less troublesome as they used to be in other universes, like DLNA for example...

i also have lots of issues with ym vsx-1022 pioneer icon appears dissapears on both my devices updated to latest firmware

ios 8ruined airplay

Apple open your eyes and start testing for issues

I tried GaryB's suggestion (Nov 2) to reset network settings and it worked - but only for several minutes. Then my Airplay devices (Phillips Fidelio and Pioneer XSMC-3) disappeared from the choices in Airplay.

Apple TV consistently appears in Airplay, but neither of my two devices appears consistently.

This problem began after upgrading to iOS 8.1 on an iPad Mini model MF433LL/A (first generation).

I can see them fine in devices that run iOS 7.x.

Any other solutions are welcomed!

Re: No Airplay icon on iPad 2. in response to Texas Mac Man

I found this fix from 2010 when someone upgraded their software and ended up loosing Airplay....sounded crazy but totally worked! My airplay icon is back, and working!!

On your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, navigate to Settings > General > International > Language and change to a different language (e.g. if you are using English, switch to French). The device will go through a language switch/reset process, and your AirPlay icon should be restored.

Next navigate back to Settings > General > International > Language (translated into the new language, of course) and switch back to your original language.

Same problem here streaming to a Denon receiver. Oddly though, while currently the native music app won't stream, if I use a third party one (Audyssey) it works fine. I paid for that, but there's probably free ones out there people could try to see if that works for them. To my mind though, that definitely makes it an apple problem to fix, not a Denon one (or presumably any other third party receiver).

Having exactly the same issue. I have tried all the solutions I have read here but none of them worked. I have reset the network settings, changed the language and so on, and nothing has worked... Even apple does not work?

I have airplay which links four airport express speakers with airplay around the house. They are all connected to the same network. My Apple TV on the network shows up in airplay. However the airport airplay speakers do not. I am using IOS 8.1.1

all airports and time capsule are using up to date firmware.

tried changing the language as per poster tjcs above. it worked.

After updating to iOS 8.1.1 this morning, I was able to stream via AirPlay from my iPhone 6 to my Denon receiver for a good half an hour. I wasn't even able to get through two songs previously. I won't be fully convinced until I've had a few days of no problems, but for the moment I'm cautiously optimistic.
