Are you near a compatible AirPlay Receiver such as an Apple TV?

 

The icon is only visible if the iPad 2 detects a compatible receiver on the same wifi network it is on.

    Thanks for your reply - I am standing in front of an apple tv device, and can see the icon on my iPhone 5, but my iPad 2 is not showing the device.  Is there something else that could have turned off the access on my ipad?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.

     

    1. Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    2. Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    3. Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    4. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    5. Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    6. Restart your mobile device.
