Airplay Not Showing Up on Mountain Lion Menu Bar

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot get the airplay status icon to show on the menu bar as shown in the Apple online help for Airplay..  Airplay does show up in my Mountain Lion iTunes and sees all my airplay devices (Apple TV's) and plays video and audio through them just fine.   Other Mountain Lion features, like the notifications bar on the far right seem to work fine and the notifications Icon appears on the menu bar.
This kind of ***** because we have been waiting to upgrade all our Mac's in the office so we can get rid of the cables in our confernece rooms and just use Apple TV to connect to our LCD's.   
Did I get hoodwinked on this feature ?   Is it not really in Mountain Lion ?

Well, let me explain.
I run a software company.  I LOVE Apple.  I bought 80 macbooks and switched my whole development team off of windows.  They all LOVE Apple products.  
We think AirPlay was going to be very cool because we have meeting areas that have huge LCD's in them and we constantly use AirPlay to do UI reviews from the iPhone and iPad - - both of which we write software for.   We were pumped about AirPlay in ML to do the same thing. 
There was a collective groan yesterday when we figured out what was happening.   It may have been announced a while ago, but it sure wasn't visible in the marketing promo material that's coming out.
I think Apple UNDERESTIMATED or MISSED the value this has in offices for eliminating cables.  Maybe they thought it was a minor feature.    I don't know.  
In the end I think the real issue is it uses too much CPU on the older machines and they were afraid it would cause some real warranty or support problems.   
I just don't get why airparrot can create the same feature and it works great.  No CPU heating, no system slowdown.  
My personal guess is that it has to do with the encryption operation in some way - -which a lot of people wouldn't worry about.

  • Airport Disk Utility does not show up as icon on menu bar

    Since I upgraded to Leopard, the icon for Airport Disk Utility which used to appear in the menu bar at the top of the screen has gone away. Any ideas please? Perhaps it's a coincidence but after the install of Leopard, the Airport Disk Utility application disappeared! I reinstalled it from the Airport Express Base Station SW and it has appeared in Applications again. I can start it up, select 'Show Airport Disks in the Menu Bar' but they don't appear ...
    Any ideas please?

    I believe the disk Utility is now incorporated under FINDER/ SHARED / Airport network name. There should be an ejection/mount arrow beside the disk name. In my case I have two USB disks attached 1: "My Book" [NSTF format, 2: G-DRIVE [MAC format]. The "My Book" always mounted automatically but the"G-DRIVE" would not.
    The work around was to
    1. Connect the G-DRIVE with a wire directly to your computer [I used the firewire]. It will mount and give you an icon under FINDER/DEVICES. The hard drive was actively working on something for about 2 minutes (you could hear it).
    2. After the G-DRIVE hard drive stopped making noise. I Ejected it with the arrow beside the Disk name in the DEVICES Section.
    3. Then I plugged the G-DRIVE back into the Hub connected to the single Airport Extreme USB connection.
    4. Now both Hard Drives showed up under SHARED /Network name With the Eject arrow beside them.
    5. I verified there use by transferring a file and using Backup 3.1.2 (ver374) to backup my documents to the G-DRIVE hard drive.
    Note: I had to go this once when I installed Leopard 10.5 and had to do it again when IK upgraded to 10.5.1
    Hope this helps

  • Calendar subscriptions not showing up in mountain lion notification centre

    Has anyone else had this problem when your calendar subscriptions are not showing up on the notification centre. Everything seems to be turned on in the preferences but I'm not seeing any of my calendar subscriptions entrys showing up in the notification centre.
    Please Help.

    I had the same problem with my calendar subscriptions and notifications disappearing after upgrading to Mountain Lion (or maybe user error around that same time). Here's how I  resolved the issue:
    In Calendar application, click "File", and select "New Calendar Subscription". Paste your calendar feed address into the "Calendar URL" box. In my case, I was re-adding my TripIt calendar feed which looked something like this:

  • Gmail Reminders not showing up in mountain lion

    I don't have an iPhone, so all of my reminders (tasks) are in Google Tasks. When I setup my accounts in Mountain Lion on my MBP it says it will sync reminders, but I cannot find them anywhere. So is there a way to sync Google Tasks with Mountain Lions Reminders app, or does this just really not work?
    I might switch to an iphone when the new one comes out, but for now I use an Android phone and so whatever I use has to be able to sync to my phone.
    Thanks in advance.
    --Aric

    Actually the reminders app in both the iPhone and, it seems, mountain lion, can be updated via exange accounts (I know this for certain, other kinds of 3rd party syncing I can't speak for), but as yet google itself has not implamented task syncing through its exange service. It's very annoying as I use the google sync tools as an alternative to icloud.

    Pardon the question, but you are checking the mac app store > Purchases (not iTunes or iTunes store or the app store for iDevices)? Have you tried holding the Option key while clicking on Purchases (shows hidden purchases).

  • Airplay not showing up on 2013 MacBook Pro

    I have a 2013 MacBook Pro and I have recently purchased an Apple TV which works perfectly with my iPad and iPhone, however my MacBook Pro won't pick up that the Apple TV is even connected to the network. I have had this problem a few times and the last time I completely restored to Mavericks and it was able to pick up the Apple TV, I do not want to have to restore my Mac again. Any fixes?

    Hello Scott,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with AirPlay on your MacBook Pro and the troubleshooting steps you have taken. 
    I found an article with steps you can take when you do not see the AirPlay icon.  I recommend reviewing the section titled "Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring" (the title of the article says Mountain Lion, but the steps are applicable to Mavericks as well):

  • Notes stopped syncing in Mountain Lion

    I've just realized that my notes haven't synced from my iPhone to my Mac for several months.  I've been reading all the discussions about this not quite working in Mountain Lion and am wondering if there is any remedy.
    I had several notes where I kept ongoing updates.  For example, I was opening the same note and adding to it about my cat's health.  But the additions from the last several comments I wrote are missing on both the iPhone and the Mac.
    All the notes are still on my Mac in the new Notes app under ON MY MAC, but there haven't been any updates there since 2012!
    My IMAP account with Google is set to Mail and Notes ON, but there is only one recent note online with Google.  I remember making that particular note on the iPhone first, so that one is working correctly.  I think that setting is a historical default since Notes used to be in the Mail App.  I tried looking for the other notes and note updates all over my gmail account- in All Mail and Trash- and don't see any of the notes that are ON MY MAC, old or otherwise.
    I really can't figure out what happened.  I tried opening Time Machine, but I wouldn't know where to look.  I have backups 2 years back, but that wouldn't help with the more recent notes anyway.  I don't really understand why the most recent updates aren't still on the iPhone.  I think maybe the Default Account under notes was set to my gmail account (the default?  I didn't set this?  How did that happen?) and it should have been On My iPhone?
    Very confused and disgusted- would like to find the Notes if possible so I could copy them somewhere else and never use Apple Notes again

    Notes in the On My Mac or On My iPhone section are not synced.
    To restore notes that have been deleted from the computer, do as follows.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Restore the selected item from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

    It was only released a couple of months ago.
    I really feel disinfranchised already by not being able to upgrade and keep up with other software needs but to not allow me to update to my full capacity is really ridiculous.
