  • Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does...

    Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does... What's going wrong here?
    Details: OS X Yosemite 10.10
    Apple TV 3rd generation, version 7.0
    Switching Airplay on on Mac Mini works. It goes automatically on extended display mode. Switching to mirroring works for about 1 sec and then it switches back to extended display mode. On my tv screen i see my second desktop. Funny detail: it has the desktop background i used previously. Another funny detail: I had exactly the same problem when i used the previous versions of OS X and the Apple TV software...
    Who can help, please!

    I also have been having problems with Airplay on my 2014 Mac Mini see Mac Mini 2014 Airplay Display Disconnect Bug?
    I"ve also noticed that my Apple TV (3rd Gen) does not appear in the iTunes Airplay list on my Mac Mini whereas it does on my MacBook.
    I've booked a call with Apple Support for next Sunday to discuss the issue.
    If I get any useful info I will pass it on.

  • Airplay mirroring for mac 2010 and under !!!!

    I just installed OS X Mountain Lion and trying to use airplay mirroring from my mid 2010 and i found that apple disable this fueture for under 2011.
    I wander why is apple does't care about all customers, only cares about the customers money. I am very disappointed that mirroring is not supported on my mac.
    My macbook not exactly a slow machine, This my mac details:
    MacBook Pro
    15-inch, Mid 2010
    Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    So thank you all for your time to read it and **** you Apple

    I really hope a hack comes out to allow this feature for us "older" users.

  • Why isn't my iMac compatible with airplay mirroring with the new Mountain Lion upgrade?

    Yesterday, I upgraded to the newly released Max OS X Mountain Lion, mainly because I was very interested in the airplay mirroring function that Mountain Lion brings to the table. To my dismay, however, I found that AirPlay is not available on my device due to the fact that my iMac is from mid/late 2010 and that function only works on mid-2011 and newer.
    Why is it that my 21.5" iMac running a core i3 processor is not deemed worthy enough to have this function. I honestly feel a bit robbed that it is not included in my $19.99.  Why am I paying the same price as someone else who is getting that key feature.
    I love Apple to death. I've had many of their products, but I really feel as though this is unfair, and that I have been mislead.

    I don't know why it does not work - assuming it has something to do with firmware, EFI, or similar; however, if you want Apple to hear you, consider filing feedback here since these are strictly user to user forums:

  • HT204291 can I use AirPlay mirroring with IMac OS X Lion 10.7.5?

     

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately not.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better 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). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • Cannot do AirPlay Mirroring on Mac Pro.

    I am trying to use airplay mirroring from my mac pro to apple tv (3rd Gen), but the icon does not come up.
    I have tried going into system preferences, then displays, but even then it does not give me the option for apple tv. I have tried updating both the mac and Apple TV. My mac is reletively new- bought sept 2012 and has the OS X software.
    ITunes will connect to apple tv, but just not airplay!
    If anyone can shed some light on this, I would really appreciate it!
    (Also both devices are connected to same wifi)
    Thank you

    He meant, this forum does not have anything to do with notebooks like MacBook Pro (though they keep coming here!) the Pro is in Workstation Professional models and 65 lbs which are not portable or laptops.

  • AirPlay Mirroring on Mac Pro

    Can i use AirPlay Mirroring on my Mac Pro (mid 2010)?

    yeah, it is extreme, but it's a natural reaction.  It's not about just airplay, but the whole os x itself.  I'm talking about those who bought the computer(s) about a year ago or whatever. 
    I don't like the fact that Apple had to make system requirement to take advantage of those features.  I understand if the computer is about 5 years or older, because of new technologies or whatever.  I've read some comments from os x ML reviews..I understand why they are so angry.

  • AirPlay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV intermittent sound drop-off

    I can't stream iTunes or Spotify to my Apple TV without getting intermittent sound drop-out (say every 30 seconds) when I use AirPlay mirroring through my Mac. This odd thing is streaming through my iPad or IPhone to Apple TV is perfectly fine; so is using my Mac to stream to my Sonos speakers. I can even stream iTunes pefectly fine through only the Apple TV alone - so it's nothing to do with my broadband connection
    I have today performed upgrades to the Apple TV and my Airport Express firmware but the problem persists. Anyone else experiencing this or found a solution?

    Hi, same here for me. Using AirPlay for streaming music from my Mac Mini (iTunes latest version) to my ATV2 (software latest version) has intermittent drop-outs (about every 10 to 15 sec for 5 to 10 sec). At the same time streaming to my Airport Express station in the kitchen works fine. Using the VOX player streaming from the Mac to the ATV works fine, only that I can only stream to one destination. Tried streaming from iTunes to ATV only, the problem remains. Streaming video - even HD - works fine. Using the ATV to select music from my Mac's iTunes library works fine, too. Still I want to stream from my iTunes on the Mac to several destiations including the ATV. Seems to me to be a problem of iTunes. I think the effect appeared after an update of iTunes or OSX, because it had worked fine before, already.

  • HT201343 Airplay Mirroring in Mac OS

    Hi All,
    Am wondering why am not able to do a Airplay using My Macbook Pro 2010. Support team says its a hardware compatibility issue, however am able to use Google Chromecast from chrome browser for mirroring. Whats Apple Is doing ?

    for performance issues airplay mirror only works with video cards which support hardware realtime encoding of the display image stream to a H.264 stream
    if the video card does not support this feature in realtime the cpu will have to decode it all the time and that take a toll on performance and make it airplay mirror (with possible delay)
    the program called airparrot handle it that way and allow you to mirro to the appletv also from older computer even windows computers I think
    if you wish to advice apple about such matters you should use the feedback channel

  • Airplay mirroring between mac OSX 10.8 and iPad2

    Hi guys, is it possible to do airplay from my iPad 2 to my 2011 mac mini running Mounting lion?

    Select two or more photos, print and select the paper size and photo print size (do the math to be sure they will fit), if the preview does not show the two photos click customize and under settings select multiple photos per page. The preview will reflect this selection

  • Airplay mirroring not working on mountain lion

    Hi,
    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro and one of the main reasons for purchasing Mountain Lion was the ability to use mirroring.  Sadly this feature does not seem to be working a part from in itunes. I have now studied the Tech Specs and now see my model is not supported. This should have been made much clearer when purchasing the upgrade.  Very very disappointing Apple.  Just starting to lose patience and up until now have been an advocate of Apple. I will think twice before recommending again.
    Of course if there is a solution my faith would be fully restored.

    The only reason i bought mountain lion was for the mirroring too. I have the same issue. Honestly I am so disapointed with Apple. If we were simply informed more clearly that this won't work I may still have purchased the product and at least wouldnt have been so disapointed. Coupled with the wait for Facebook integration this has been real shame.
    My advice to anyone thinking of updating or even purchasing an apple product. Don't expect Apple to consider you unless you have a new product.
    Apple really are becoming a bunch of money grabbers.

  • Why can't I airplay mirror my Mac Book Pro (new) with my TV when I play a DVD on my Mac Book?

    I can see the screen from my Mac Book Pro but the DVD movie only displays as a check board on my TV. If I choose to look at my Mac Book only it works fine. BR hp

    I'm not certain but I think Airplay is a non-secure protocol.
    So if someone wrote a program to intercept Airplay they could potentially make a copy of that encrypted DVD you are trying to Airplay, albeit with compression and other compromises.

  • No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV

    Hi Community,
    it happens that after disconnecting the aiplay mirroring the next streaming into the apple tv doesn't play the audio. it stays instead in the speakers of the Mac.
    i tried to change the output on audio preferences but i can't click on it! the selection just bounce back to internal speakers.
    the only way to fix this is to restart.

    This works: clicking "Restart". Thx! Please note, Apple bug fixers....
