  • HT201335 i don't see the airplay icon on my macbook pro menu bar. I'm running OSX 10.7.5. What's up?

    I have a late 2011 machine. I keep the display icon in the menu bar but I can't find anything that will get the airplay icon to show. I'm tyring to connect to my Apply TV, which is on.
    I do have Air Display on the machine, not sure if that's messing it up.

    I'm running OSX 10.7.5.
    That's what's up.
    AirPlay mirroring requires OS X 10.8. Buy Mountain Lion in the App Store.

  • Airplay Not Available on MacBook Pro

    I have upgraded three systems to Mavericks so far, a 2008 MacBook Pro, a 2011 Mac mini, and a 2013 MacBook Air. On the Mac mini and MacBook Air I have the airplay icon on the top menu bar to use with my AppleTV.  On my MacBook Pro, this icon is not there, and there is nothing in the Display Preferences. Is there a way to enable airplay on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi MarkN,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you don't see the AirPlay icon on your MacBook Pro, try these troubleshooting steps:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5209
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
    iTunes for Mac: Choose iTunes > Check for Updates
    iTunes for Windows: Choose Help > Check for Updates
    Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices' software is up to date.
    Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are connected to the same home network.
    Note: Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a guest network that can block certain Internet services from working or seeing other devices on your home network.
    If the AirPlay icon doesn’t appear in iTunes
    Ensure that you followed these steps to use AirPlay in iTunes.If the AirPlay icon still doesn't appear, try one of the following steps:
    If you want to AirPlay to an Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on the Apple TV.  From the Apple TV main menu, go to Settings > AirPlay. This should be set to On.
    If you want to AirPlay to an Airport Express, ensure that AirPlay is enabled in the device settings.
    If you want to AirPlay to a 3rd party AirPlay-enabled device, refer to the user guide.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
    I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are referring to the first generation Apple TV, then you cannot sync content which is stored on its hard drive back to iTunes.

  • Airplay between iPad and MacBook Pro

    I am trying to reflect my iPad to my MacBook Pro. I have the 3rd Generation and I am running OS 10.8.2. When I try to connect using Reflector, I get "an error (-6722) while connecting to the AirPlay device “Sandy’s MacBook Pro”". What do I need to do?

    Interesting question.. I don't think you can do this with vanilla Apple.
    I'd suggest you might Google your request.  I turned up a couple of apps that you might read about

    Hi, I´m new to mac, i was wondering if i get lost my MacBook Pro could exist some action to can find it, like satelital position or something.

    If you're running Mountain Lion (which I'm assuming you are if your MBP is new) you can set up Find My Mac under System Preferences>iCloud. You can also use a free online service such as Prey.
    No guarantee to keep your MBP from being stolen, but at least you can find it if it's on (and if the criminals aren't Mac experts).

    If the files you have stored on your computer are that important:
    If the police are not helping, you will need to go to the police station IN PERSON and deal directly with the police captain or police commisioner since the regular po po "throwing up their hand."

  • I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
    PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
    There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
    DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
    I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

  • HT201335 The airplay icon will not stay in my control bar!

    The airplay icon will not stay in my control bar and when activated and turned to mirroring nothing shows up on my tv.  I have airplay on, on my appleTV.  So I am out of ideas and I cannot find anything on here to help. I am using my iPad air and it along with my appleTV are all up to date.  I also just checked my iPhone 5 and it is not in the control bar as well.  I have even restarted the iPad and it will show up just long enough for me to turn it on but nothing shows on the tv and when I go back to the control bar it is gone.  I hope someone can help.

    Hey Thebassbuilder,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like the issue may reside with your Apple TV or network, since it is reproducible on two devices. To continue troubleshooting, I recommend the following articles:

  • How to get the airplay icon to pop up on the tool bar

    i just bought apple tv 3rd gen and for some reason idk y but my airplay icon isnt coming up on my tool bar i was wondering if anyone could tell me more about why its not or tell me who i can get it

    You have OS X Lion, not Mountain Lion. You can do two things:
    1. Make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion, so you will get the AirPlay icon on your Mac to use AirPlay Mirroring.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    I recommend you to upgrade to Mountain Lion because you will get new features apart from AirPlay Mirroring for your Mac

  • HT204291 Airplay Icon lost from both my iPhone and Macbook Air

    I've lost the Airplay Icon from both my iPhone and Macbook Air, so I assume there's something up with my AppleTV setup (connected via LAN ).
    Airplay was working fine until recently.I've checked all settings and they seem ok. Anyone any further ideas?
    All other functions work ok, streaming video off the net , playing iTunes (installed on Macbook Air) from AppleTV etc
    I've just lost Airplay from 2 devices.
    AppleTV was updated in the last few days, but the Icon was lost before that.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Doug

    OK. Solved !
    A simple reboot of my modem/router (the fibre one from BT - BT Infinity) fixed this for
    both my iPhone and Macbook Air.
    I can also mirror my iPhone screen to the AppleTV now too.
    (mirroring only worked from my Macbook Air before)
    That must be a new feature. Excellent !
    I guess I should have tried that before, but maybe this will help someone
    Happy Easter
