Can't find the Airplay icon! I have a Macbook Pro Late 2011

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. Yes I am sure that it is Late 2011 because I looked up the serial number and the website says it is indeed MacBook Pro Late 2011. I just bought an Apple TV and I want to use Airplay but I CANNOT find the Airplay icon on the upper right menu bar. I updated my software and everything but I still dont see it! What do I need to do inorder for me to use Airplay? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

What Mac do you have? It needs to be at least 2011
OSX needs to be at least 10.8
Has nothing to do with Internet, you need to check your local network and also make sure both ATV and Mac are on the same network. Airplay should also be enabled on ATV

  • HT204291 I can't find the airplay icon on my 2009 Macbook. What can I do

    I cant find the airplay icon on my 2009 macbook labtop. I know it is active because I can use it on my new macbook air. How can I find it on my old macbook.

    Both models of MacBook4.1 (13-inch Early and Mid 2008)
    are considered Vintage when running Mavericks 10.9.2.
    This means certain aspects of the hardware do not meet
    system requirements for the software to run on them.
    AirPlay, iCloud, and other things found varying support
    or lack thereof, between Lion, Mt Lion, and Mavericks.
    So it appears the Vintage stature affects yours this way.
    There may be detailed Support article topics about this subject
    among the OS X section: http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
    And I know I've read about this issue, as one based in hardware.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • TS1398 I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and then mysteriously disappeared. When I click the music icon there is an airplay icon top right which is fine for music, but I can't mirror anything e

    I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and i used it for a couple of weeks to mirror with the Apple TV and then it mysteriously disappeared. Now when I double click and slide the icons at the bottom to far left, instead of finding airplay there is an extra music icon and a music control panel. If I open up the music app, there is an airplay icon top right next to volume control which works fine with mirroring the Apple TV, which suggests to me wi-if and networks are fine. I can only mirror music however. Any ideas anyone?

    So what you want is to be able to boot from OS X and retrieve your files
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Of course if it's not booting up, it's easier to fix in place

    ...so I am trying to boot from a USB recovery drive but when I select it nothing happens it just goes to the restore options
    "Recovery HD" is a partition on your boot drive which you option or commnad r key held at boot time to get into and then repair the Macintish HD partition.
    If you have this on a external USB thumb drive, then that's all it is, no OS X, programs or files.
    If your talking a USB external drive, it has to be a OS X bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and the option key held at boot time gives you that boot option.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    So what your saying is you have a external clone and by holding the option key down at boot all you get is it directly going to Recovery HD?
    There is no Startup Manager option to choose what to boot from?
    This could mean Apple changed something, or your external bootable clone isn't one, or the wrong software used so it's not being recognized by Startup Manager as a bootable option.
    What did you use to make the external OS X USB bootable drive?

  • I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

    I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

    64 bit.
    32 bit won't use all your computer's ram.
    64 bit allows you to run 32 bit programs
    Your computer is 64 bit
    New programs use 64 bit.
    There is no reason to use the 32 bit version of Windows.

  • I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and having issues with utilities screen.

    I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. I want to reformat my hdd to start from scratch. My issue is when I am on the utilities screen I am unable to click on anything. I want to delete my current partition but I am unable to click on Disk Utilities. Please help me!

    According to your profile your Mac is running v10.7.3 Lion.
    If that is the case, to reformat the hard drive you need to use Lion Recovery not Disk Utility.

  • HT204291 Now that I updated my SW on my iPad I can not find the airplay icon in music. Any advice?

    Any help would be greatly appecaited.

    Hey Hokies6894,
    Thanks for the question. With the introduction of iOS 7, the AirPlay icon has moved to the Control Center for easy access from any screen. To access Control Center, simply swipe up from the bottom of your screen:

    If AirPlay does not appear, it may be due to no available AirPlay devices. For troubleshooting information, see this article:

  • How can I find the serial number of my stolen MacBook Pro?

    Hi,
    I had my 2009 Macbook Pro stolen about 10 months ago. I didn't think I'd see it again until last last it showed up on my "Find My Phone" App, in Vietnam.
    I locked it straight away and sent a message to the screen with my email address.
    The person who had it worked at a computer shop and contacted me straight away.
    He understands its stolen and wants to help but he will only give it to the police. And the Vietnamese police want my serial number to proove its mine before they will send it back to me.
    I don't have a copy of the recpiet or serial number. I've been to the iStudio where I bought it and thier records start 1 month after I purcahsed it.
    I've tried the https://supportprofile.apple.com page and for some reason my macbooks are not registered on there. All my other apple products are.
    Is there any other way I can retrieve my serial number?
    It's conected to the icloud and the app and I've made puchases on iTunes from it.
    Any help would be very much appreciated
    Many Thanks

    No.

    Mac OS X 10.6.8

    Hi Tarynfrombc,
    AirPlay can only be used for IOS devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.)
    AirPlay Mirroring can be used for certain Mac models that are running OSX Mountain Lion. If you are running 10.6.8 OS on your Mac, then you cannot use AirPlay Mirroring. You would need to upgrade the Mac to Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
    Here is a support article about AirPlay Mirroring:

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    You can still use the Menu Bar, with the Tools choice. To temporarily display the Menu Bar, press the ALT key or the F10 key and make selections from the Menu Bar while it is displayed. You can also permanently display the Menu bar if you prefer it to the Firefox button menu (see ''Common questions after updating Firefox'' below).
