If i install mavericks will my macbook pro support airplay

I just purchased an apple tv and am trying to find the airplay mirroring application on my macbook pro. I have read that macbook pros need to be a newer model from early 2011 or newer, but mine is from mid 2012 and I still cannot see the airplay mirroring icon when I go to system preferences or display preferences on my computer. I am currently in the process of downloading the mavericks application, will this help me use airplay via my apple tv?

About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Using AirPlay
Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs  that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
Other solutions are the Air Parrot, StreamToMe, and AirServer.

  • Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many (not all) documents that cannot be opened in either Pages '09 or Pages 5.  They show on my doc lists, but are greyed out so I can't try to change extensions or anything else.  Some are PDFs.

    Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many documents, but not all, that cannot be opened in either Pages 5 or in Pages '09.  The names show in my document lists, but are greyed out.  They do not show any extensions, but I'm sure at seast some of them are PDFs.  As I cannot open them, I am unable to try to experiment with any solutions - I am not tech savvy, but can sometimes fix things by trial and error.  I have no issues with sharing documents as I have no other devices.  I just want to be able to open my saved documents!  Also, the documents I can open have to be persistently coaxed to open to a point that it is extremely aggravating.  I am not so happy with this recent "upgrade."  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You use Finder to find stuff. It is what you use to look at where your files are kept and to rename, move or trash them. If you double click on a file in Finder it finds the right software to open it for you.
    To open particular files you use the right software for each type. Usually, but not always, the software that made the file.
    Pages opens files ending in .pages. Also .txt, .rtf, and doc.
    Pages 5 is the latest (but certainly not the greatest) version of Pages. It has trouble opening all sorts of files including the older Pages '09 files but it will still do it.
    Unfortunately Apple has chosen for Pages 5 to also save its files as exactly the same file extension .pages despite it being a different format that can not be opened by the older Pages '09.
    As we all know Apple is wise and great beyond belief and would not do something that on the face of it looks extraordinarily stupid and shortsighted. Therefore we know that it must be our fault and we are not holding the software right. Because we are bad users, we must be punished, by either having to use Pages 5 or jump through hoops to avoid using Pages 5.
    If you have installed Pages 5 any .pages file (old or new) will be opened by Pages 5. If you then save the file, Pages 5 will change the file format. So don't open your files with Pages 5 and don't save them if you do.
    To stop Pages 5 opening and resaving your old files, you need to drag it to the trash and empty it.
    When it is no longer around to annoy you, you can go back to using Pages 09.

  • Should I install Mavericks on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi,
    I want to install Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, but I am worried that my Mac will slow down, freeze or anything like that.
    I have the 2,5 Ghz model with 4 GB of RAM and 500 GB HDD. I have 440 GB left on my hard drive. Mid-2012, Non-Retina.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Backup your current system.
    Repair the hard drive and permissions.
    Download and install Mavericks.

  • After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.  Is there a fix/test.

    After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. 
    What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered".  It happens even if i resend it over and over.
    I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
    I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
    I have tried rebooting all three devices.
    The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
    Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

    Hi,
    On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
    Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
    Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
    The Restart the Mac Version
    Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone  is using.
    Do same on iPad.

  • There is already installed mavericks on my macbook pro retina 15 inch but ı want to create recovery disk

    Hey guys ı really need your help. I bought macbook pro retina 15 inch 2 weeks ago and it came with installed mavericks of course but ı want to create a recovery disk and to do that ı need to download mavericks installer from app store but when i click to download mavericks from appstore purchased part ı get a message says " Your purchasing process couldn't complete. OS X Mavericks cant be installed to this computer." How can ı solve this problem!??

    One way around tis is to borrow a Mac that can run Mavericks and then the download will work.  You can use these instructions:

    Though they are for Mt. Lion, the same steps will work.

  • Can't install mavericks on my MacBook Pro mid 2010. Can't detect the HDD.

    Hi all, find it very frustrating trying to install the new OS after the hard drive is not detected. I'm trying a clean install of the Mavericks using an 8Gb usb flash drive.
    However, when trying to reformat the drive using disk utility and trying to repair to drive to see it there is a problem I was able to do both without any difficulty.
    Here's the steps I've undertook so far.
    1.) Boot the MBP using the Mavericks installer downloaded in Apps store. I have created beforehand the USB installer using Lion DiskMaker app. I have tried the installer working on my wife MacBook Pro 2011.
    2.) Pressing alt key during boot up will only show my USB stick without the formatted HDD. Selecting the USB stick will show a circle with a line and shuts down the MBP.
    Any valuable help is much appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    At first, it looks like your Mac is not compatible with OS X Mavericks, so maybe you were using a different OS X version like Lion.
    To check whether your Mac is compatible or not, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and check "Model Identifier". It should be "MacBook5,1" or higher (if you have got a MacBook) or "MacBookPro3,1" or higher (if you have got a MacBook Pro)

  • After installing Mavericks OS, My MacBook Pro is Slow and weak?

    Recently I upgraded to Mavericks OS system from Mountain Lion. I use MacBook Pro 17" of 2011 with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7.
    Mavericks supposed to be faster and saves more battery life. But it was not in my case. I do most of my work with Ms. Office 2011.
    1) I find the Finder is extremely slow to respond. It takes more than One minute to open the folder files.
    2) I find the Ms.Office is very slow. Powerpoint slides are NOT showing the content on the column view. The system battery goes down very quickly with Powerpoint.
    3) The battery does NOT last more than 5 hours, comparatively it was usually be NINE HOURS.
    I have reinstalled the Mavericks as advised by the Apple Expert from Apple Inc.
    Still the Problem exist. What do I do?

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Couldn't re install maverick with my macbook pro 2010 after complete format

    I recently format my macbook pro mid 2010 , now i couldn't re install maverick

    Did you erase the whole drive, or just the boot volume? Were you already running Mavericks? What happens when you try to reinstall Mavericks and in what manner are you attempting to do so?
    Please explain your issue in more detail. Thanks.

  • I can't install Mavericks on a Macbook pro with Bootcamp

    Hi all,
    I tried to upgrade my MacBook pro which was running Lion and Windows 7 installed with Bootcamp, with Mavericks. I ran the installation program from within OS X Lion and after a while, it said that Mavericks cannot be installed because of a bootcamp partition on the disk. Did someone had similar troubles to install Mavericks with a bootcamp partition ?
    Thanks,
    Alan.

  • After installing mavericks on my macbook pro my laptop keeps rebooting

    How can I find out what might be happening to cause this behaviour?
    Is anyone else seeing this odd behaviour?
    I didn't have a booting issue before installing Mavericks, since installing I have had at least 4 random reboots.  After logging in, I get a message that the system booted unexpectedly and I uploaded the info to Apple.  One time it showed the reboot occured during the wakup from sleep.
    As a side question, how can I tell the system to NOT relaunch all applications that where running before.
    Mike P.

    Hi Clinton (and original poster/responders)
    I have been having the same problem, with random reboots after installing Mavericks.  Sometimes, it goes into a loop of restarting for a while before successfully launching (even rebooting when I click on my user id to log in to OS) . Thanks, and,
    Here are the results from using EtreCheck: (P.S.: I use an external usb harddrive for TimeMachine, and it hasn't been connected during these restarts)

  • I installed Mavericks on my macbook pro and now I want to go back to Lion, is this possible and how?

    I'm not satisfied with OS X Mavericks and I'd like to go back to OS X Lion! How do I do this as easy as possible?

    Erase your hard drive and install your Lion system backup. If you don't have a Lion backup, the you can do an Internet Recovery:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • After installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 2009 (japanese keyboard) the layout doesn't work. I mean if I press the @ button the è symbol comes out. I tried to change the layout in Preferences but doesn't work. Could anyone help me please?

    Hi there
    after installing Mavericks on my macbookpro 2009 (Japanese keyboards) the layout doesn't work anymore. I mean, if I press the "@" button the "è" symbol comes out. I did already change the layout in the Preferences but it didn't work.
    Could anyone help me please?

    Apple has changed the way Kotoeri keyboard layouts work.  You should be able to get normal behavior if you activate the US layout and switch to that just before using Kotoeri.  Here is also an Apple note on the topic with another suggestion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5284
    Be sure to tell Apple you want this changed back to the way if was in 10.8 and earlier via
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    If you know Japanese well, you might ask on the Japanese discussions whether someone has found a better fix for this:

  • How will re-downloading Mavericks effect my Macbook Pro?

    I downloaded and installed Mavericks on my Macbook Pro months ago.  It says its using the OS X Version 10.9.1.  I accidentally clicked to download Mavericks again while browsing through the App Store.  I currently have the download paused and I'm not sure what to do.  My computer is already running the system and I don't see a way to stop the download.  How will it effect my computer, if I let the download complete?

    All that will happen if you let it complete is you'll get an application called "Install OS X Mavericks" in your Applications folder.  You can delete it with no ill effects.
