AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work even with the specified hardware/software

Hello,
I have a late 2011 (OS X 10.7.5) MBP and a Sep  2012 Apple TV (MD199LL/A) with the updated software 5.1.
AirPlay Mirror icon doesn't appear in the menu bar.
No options/icons or texts related to AirPlay mirroring in System Preferences > Displays either. Checked detect displays, still no.
Updated all the software in both the MBP and the Apple TV on Oct 6th 2012 late evening/night and restarted both a couple of times, still no signs of AirPlay Mirror icon or option.
BTW, AirPlay works with iTunes, so I can hear music from MBP on my TV.
AirPlay Mirroring works with the latest iPad (as of Sep 2012) as well.
I think one or two people have reported this issue on the forum in response to some question/discussion. Thought it deserved starting a new topic in case some Apple folks are listening.
Perhaps their adverstising or guidelines need an update to remove references of AirPlay mirroring working with 2011 or newer MBPs. Perhaps they meant 2012 or newer?

To be honest I use mine mainly near power and juice up when I can so I don't test the battery too heavily, so I haven't noticed but would probably not.
If mirror is the only thing you want to do but don't want ML look at third party apps such as airparrot or reflectorapp (I hvae used airparrot and found it OK).

  • Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work on newest MBP

    Hello,
    I have a 15" MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with OS X Mountain Lion installed. When Apple TV is available, there is an AirPlay icon in the menu bar. When I enable AirPlay Mirroring, my Apple TV turns into black but sound is streaming. No image at all. I tried different screen resolutions but none of them works, my TV supports 1080p and my Apple TV is 3rd generation with newest software (5.0.2). When the AirPlay Mirroring is enabled, there is a high upload speed so I believe the image is actually streaming. And there is no update for my Mac system. When I use iTunes to play a video, then that video can show up on the Apple TV, but besides that, mirroring doesn't work. My Apple TV has no issue when working with iPhone and iPad AirPlay. Do you have any ideas about this? Thank you so much!

    Hey,
    I have the exact same problem. Read at least a dozen forums, and wasted 3 hours solving it.
    Finally, a simple 'restart' solved my problem....
    Hope it will for you.

  • HT204291 AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work after last update

    I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro (running mountain lion), an iPhone 4s, and an Apple TV (3d gen). My iPhone and Apple TV work fine together. I can stream video and music without difficulty. My Macbook can stream audio, but since the last update to 5.1.1 I can't mirror my desktop or run video from my Macbook to the Apple TV. The option is there, but the TV screen only changes colors and garbles some text. It mostly looks like a pink and green abstract painting.
    Short of restoring the Apple TV, is there anything else I can do?

    Thanks Brian. I tried using the ethernet cord and it still only works for one account on my macbook - the account that's not signed into the Apple TV.
    Wifi versus ethernet doesn't explain why it worked well before the update, but not afterward. Or why it works when I turn off photostream.

  • Mountain Lion Email doesn't work even with 10.8.1 update!

    My mail application completely failed shortly after the upgrade to Mountain Lion. None of the user advice has repaired it from these forums, so I have now resigned myself to using my ipad and iphone to conduct all my business emails. I was hopeful that this first 10.8.1 update from Apple would restore the my mail application. I can frustratingly report that no, it certainly hasn't. No change in fact. I click on the mail app and the beachball of death continues for about 5 minutes then it comes up with a message 'there is a problem with your mailboxes' with the option to quit or quit and rebuild index. If I choose that latter, the beachball resumes it's rotation forever or until I hard reset the machine as all other programs crash at this point. Apple, please help FAST, this is no way to run a business!!!!

    Agreed, but I think that for most Mail seems to be working fine. There don't seem to many posts complaining about Mail problems - well no more than usual.
    Have you tried a Safe Boot which sometimes helps in solving odd problems. and if that doesn't help, re-installing the OS using the Recovery HD?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    For a Safe Boot restart holding down the shift key until you see a grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.

  • Euro-sign (and Greek) doesn't work even with nchar/nvarchar2

    This is something that has been blocking me for a few days now, and I'm running out of ideas.
    Basically, the problem can be summarised as follows:
    declare
        text nvarchar2(100) := 'Make €€€ fast!';
    begin
      dbms_output.put_line( text );
    end;And the output (both in SQL Developer and Toad) is:
    Make ¿¿¿ fast!See, I was under the impression that by using nchar and nvarchar2, you avoid the problems you get with character sets. What I need this for is to check (in PL/SQL) what the length of a string is in 7-bit units when converted to the GSM 03.38 character set. In that character set, there are 128 characters: mostly Latin characters, a couple of Greek characters that differ from the Latin ones, and some Scandinavian glyphs.
    Some 10 other characters, including square brackets and the euro sign, are escaped and take two 7-bit units. So, the above message takes 17 7-bit spaces.
    However, if I make a PL/SQL function that defines an nvarchar2(128) with the 128 standard characters and another nvarchar2(10) for the extended characters like the euro sign (the ones that take two 7-bit units), and I do an instr() for each character in the source string, the euro sign gets converted to an upside-down question mark, and because the delta (the first Greek character in the GSM 03.38 character set) also becomes an upside-down question mark, the function thinks that the euro sign is in fact a delta, and so assigns a length of 1.
    To try to solve it, I created a table with an nchar(1) for the character and a smallint for the number of units it occupies. The characters are entered correctly, and show as euro signs and Greek letters, but as soon as I do a query, I get the same problem again. The code for the function is below:
      function get_gsm_0338_length(
        text_content in nvarchar2
      ) return integer
      as
        v_offset integer;
        v_length integer := 0;
        v_char nchar(1);
      begin
        for i in 1..length(text_content)
        loop
          v_char := substr( text_content, i, 1 );
          select l
          into v_offset
          from gsm_0338_charset
          where ch = v_char;
          v_length := v_length + v_offset;
        end loop;
        return v_length;
        exception
          when no_data_found then
            return length(text_content) * 2;
      end get_gsm_0338_length;Does anybody have any idea how I can get this to work properly?
    Thanks,
    - Peter

    Well, the person there used a varchar2, whereas I'm using an nvarchar2. I understand that you need the right codepage and such between the client and the database if you use varchar2, which is exactly the reason why I used the nvarchar2.
    However, if I call the function from /Java/, it does work (I found out just now). But this doesn't explain why SQL Developer and Toad are being difficult, and I'm afraid that, because this function is part of a much bigger application, I'll run into the same problem.

    Hello alex103, You might try to boot the system and press the key to run the hardware diagnostic test and see if you can confirm a hardware failure.
    My suspicion is the hard drive may have failed.

  • HT202696 Since updating to IOS 8.1.1 AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work.

    I can get another iPad Air to mirror but it is not using IOS 8.  I have tried all the suggestions for restart, reset, unplugging cables, but still am not able to mirror.
    My warranty expired 4 days ago so Apple wants to charge me to talk about a problem they created with IOS 8.

    I might have run into this problem over the weekend and found a solution elsewhere. After selecting "AirPlay" only two options appeared to be available: "iPad" or "Apple TV." After selecting "Apple TV" it didn't mirror. Turns out, after selecting "Apple TV" there should be a mirroring switch below the "Apple TV" option. You have to scroll that little list by sliding it upward with you finger. For me, this "Mirror" option wasn't visible (had to scroll to find it) and was off by default. After doing so, it worked just fine.

  • Why does firefox "close" when I close the window but the process doesn't shutdown even with the upgrades since problem was reported.since i had updated to FF25

    Frequently after I have been viewing numerous sites on firefox, when I close down the last window and try to reopen firefox, I am told that the program is already running and needs to be shut down. Using Task Manager is not useful, since task manager doesn't show the program as up and running. The only way to get the program to close so it can be used for a different subject is to reboot the computer. This is happening 10 - 12 times a week now, and gradually getting worse. This closes out everything I have open, making it necessary to save all opened files BEFORE I reboot, and then going back to reopen all of them. None of the other questions I've seem point to this particular quirk in the problem.

    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.
    '''https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997866''' {web link}
    From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
    issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose
    to have been fixed in v30.
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
