Why can't I find the AirPlay icon on my Mac? Select AirPlay & HomeKit settings and turn on AirPlay. On the TV remote control, press the (Input select) button and then select (AirPlay). Go to AirPlay> Room and follow the onscreen instructions to select the room where the Apple TV is located. Note, other applications on your Windows 7 computer may rely on IPv6 being enabled, so use your discretion.Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID on the Apple TV and the iOS or iPadOS device. A quick way to get to Services configuration, go to the Pearl (start) button->click on the Search programs and files-> type services.msc in the Search programs and files box->press return. You also may need to stop and disable the IP helper service. The easiest solution is to disable IPv6 on your Windows 7 computer, by unchecking the 'Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)' setting for the network connection you are using, in Control Panel->Network And Sharing Center->Manage Network Connections. AirPlay supporting devices have been reported to get 'confused' when there's a choice of IP communication and therefore they can end up not 'seeing' each other. The second cause of AirPlay discovery problems (and your most likely cause) is the mixed use of IPv6 & IPv4 IP communications on the network. This is because WMP's network streaming 'Play To' feature uses industry standard UPnP/DLNA, which also relies on IGMP multicast for its own discovery mechanism. However, since you've mentioned directly streaming from Windows Media Player to (& therefore it 'seeing') the MCR510, then this is unlikely to be the cause of the AirPlay problem.

IGMP multicast packets are used by the Apple Bonjour protocol that Airplay supporting devices use to discover each other on the network.

The first is due to the network management system, usually the router, not forwarding IGMP multicast data properly. Also, given that the Marantz device uses Apple approved components to supply AirPlay streaming, it's very unlikely that using an Apple TV or Airport Express for AirPlay would work either.Īssuming that both the computer running iTunes and the Marantz MCR510 are connected to the network as your other (working) network devices are and that you are using a properly installed working (reasonably) current version of iTunes, then there are two usual causes of problems with Airplay discovery. If there's an issue with AirPlay's discovery mechanism on your network, then the AirPlay icon won't appear. Yes, the AirPlay icon should appear in the iTunes screen.
