Apple TV mirroring feature not working

I have a brand new macbook air and an apple tv (3rd generation) and the mirroring function was working earlier but is now not even showing up in my displays option. How can I use my mirroring feature again? I have restarted both my computer and my AppleTv as well as made sure they are on the same wifi network. Everything was working fine and now it's not please HELP!!!

I don't know if this might help you. I had a similar problem but the issue was not Apple TV but the router configuration:
Multicast Streams
The router uses the IGMP protocol to support efficient multicasting -- transmission of identical content, such as multimedia, from a source to a number of recipients.
Enable Multicast Streams
This option must be enabled if any applications on the LAN participate in a multicast group. If you have a multimedia LAN application that is not receiving content as expected, try enabling this option.

I bought my macbook pro on August 2011 at an apple store, with the Intel i7. However mirrorring in not working with two of my Apple TVs. These Apple TVs are 2nd and 3rd generation loaded with the latest software. I can succesfully transmit from my itunes on my Macbook pro to both Apple TVs, but I can not see the airplay icon on the taskbar. Can someone help?

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.

HT201335 The airplay mirroring is not working on Mountain Loin.

The airplay mirroring is not working. The AirPlay mirroring box states "No devices Detected" and will not let you select anything else. The Apple tv is updated and I have a MacBook Pro (Oct 2011)

I don't disagree with much of what you are thinking/feeling, and many others too I dare say.
I do mention Airparrot but usually (not above) with some reservation saying some users report good things some others don't. There is after all a demo and people should try that.
There is a big technical difference between Airplay from iTunes and Airplay mirroring. The former simply has to send a preformatted h264 video stream (i.e. a file in the iTunes media library) to AppleTV across the LAN - there is no processing of this stream required, and AppleTV does the decoding. The latter involves generating that stream live from individual video frames and also then streaming to AppleTV.
Apple seem to have gone for a hardware encoding solution for the stream using post 2011 Intel chip features detailed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video
They also seem to have decided not to offer a software solution for older processors - this is what grates - Airparrot clearly shows that many people can get acceptable performance on many earlier machines.
There are many many examples of instances where Apple has abandoned support for or left out features on older hardware - either playing safe avoiding underperformance or maybe something else.....
When there are genuine reasons not to support things that's fine. When it's ambiguous customers get upset and might take their money elsewhere for future purchases. Apple need to be careful as in the current climate things are pretty tight financially for most people, and they are not in the habit of replacing computers as often as mobile phones - I think the phone business model is clearly partly at fault.

Why weren't we told that display mirroring would not work with a Mac older than 12 months?

You were, just not directly. If you go to apple's mountain lion webpage, you'll see this note at the bottom:

No Mirroring in Ipad 2? I have IPAD2 and Apple Tv 4.3. I can airplay videos/music from Ipad2 to my HDTV via ATV, but I cant mirror it. When I select airplay to switch from Ipad2 to Apple TV, Mirroring does not show as an option. What am I missing?

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to your issue, Apple does not and never has made a wristwatch as such. The only thing close to a watch that they have made was the 6th-generation iPod nano:

which has a clock feature and which some people have worn as a wristwatch. Is that what you mean?

I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2

Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2 and last update achieved

you have to be sure that you have iOS 4.4 on your Apple TV. Apple pulled 4.4 due to problems and hasen't re-released it yet. the only way now is to hook it up to your computer with a micro USB cable and then in iTunes you should see your Apple TV and do a restore and it will then put 4.4 on the Apple TV but it will wipe out all your settings and you will have to do all that over again but mirroring will then work.

My Apple TV remote is not working.

My Apple TV remote is not working. It was fine this morning, but now ATV is not responding to it. It still access iTunes on my Mac so I don't think it's a battery issue. The white light flashes on ATV, but nothing happens. I have restarted ATV several times from the mains, but no change. Please help!

HT5622 Why is my Apple ID or password not working anymore after I reset my password?

Why is my Apple ID or password not working anymore after I reset my password?
It keep asking my password... I have reset it, then, when I enter the new password, it's not accepted...

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work?

I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work? I have OSX 10.6.8. I am using this trial version for a class I am taking on coding webpages using Dreamweaver. there are features I am using in class that will not open up or appear as options when I use the trial version. Are certain features locked out until I buy a copy or download a purchased copy?

Trial versions have no functional limitations, though your setup/situation might not be supportive of all functionality. You'll need to identify specific issues to get help with them. You should be posting in the DW forum instead of here if your issue does not have to do with downloading/installing.
