    I don't know exactly when it happened but I just noticed it today after updating iTunes. The Airplay icon is missing when swiping left in the running apps list on both my iPhone 4 and my wife's iPad 2 (but both used to work). Both still work when using an app that has Airplay built-in. Has anybody else noticed this or know of a fix?

    Just a silly question, but are you connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the other devices? I know when I'm not, the AirPlay button doesn't appear.

    Yes it's the same wifi network (only one in the house) and as I said it works if the app supports it built-in.

    It's hard to say then. Have you rebooted all the devices including the router?

    Resetting the iPhone and iPad did the trick. Thanks!

    Oh good. I'm glad it was something simple because I was all out of ideas! :)

    The same first step of reboot then check again still holds true. I find that it fixes sooooooo much with any IOS device. I really miss being jail broken for the simple yet effective reboot option. instead I always turn my phone off and forget to turn it right back on.
