How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro?

How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro? I want to be able to connect to my AppleTV.

I looked at that already. I've done everything it says: check to make sure wireless is working, make sure airplay is enabled, make sure device and apple tv are on the same network blah blah. The icon just isn't there. Unless I skipped a step. AirPlay works when I use it in the music app and in the video app, I jus can't get mirroring to work. I was looking at some other threads and mirroring doesn't seem to be working for a lot of people. Maybe I jus have to wait for an update =\

  • Every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes

    every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes or i get an error when i try to use it
    do you know why and how to solve this problem?

    Hi Colin,
    A couple of things you can try:
    Open System Preferences and click on Network. Click on the small gear icon below the list of connections and select Set Service Order. Move your AirPort connection up to the top of the list so it will be first in line when your computer searches for connections. (It's probably looking for ethernet connections first..the normal default..and finding none, it then looks for wireless. This takes time.
    Click on your AirPort connection again to highlight it and then click Advanced in the lower right of the pane. Make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list. Delete other networks that you don't need.
    Finally, make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember any network this computer has joined".
    See if one of these actions will help.

  • How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro?

    How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro? Or am I SOL?
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:    MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:    MacBookPro6,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:    2.8 GHz
      Number of Processors:    1
      Total Number of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache (per Core):    256 KB
      L3 Cache:    4 MB
      Memory:    8 GB
      Processor Interconnect Speed:    4.8 GT/s
      Boot ROM Version:    MBP61.0057.B0F
      SMC Version (system):    1.57f18

    You can't. Theoretically, Thunderbolt devices that only transfer video and audio should work with Mini DisplayPort MacBooks like yours, but it's not the case of the Thunderbolt Display. Its firmware doesn't allow it to be used with non-Thunderbolt Macs, so you can't use the Thunderbolt Display with the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Instead, you have to look for another screen, or you can get an adapter and connect the MacBook Pro to a TV

  • How can i get iphoto on my IPAD if i already have it on my macbook pro

    how can i get iphoto on my IPAD if i already have it on my macbook pro?

    See this page, if your iPad qualifies for a free download: Free Apple apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
    iPhoto on the iPad and iPhoto on the Mac are completely different programs. The Mac version cannot run on the iPad, because the operating systems and the processors are different. Don't expect, that iPhoto on the iPad will be able to do the same things as your iPhoto for Mac, pr that you can keep the two iPhoto libraries in sync.  
    Se this help page for a description, what iPhoto on the iPad can do: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/

  • How do o get my browsing history to show on the mozilla icon in the taskbar?

    I'm not even sure if I'm using the correct terminology, but here's the problem. During a session, if I clicked on the Mozilla Firefox icon on the taskbar (bottom left of my screen), it would show all of the pages I'd been looking at, and I could just click on them to go back and forth. I could minimize a page and click on the icon and the page would show there so I could restore it.
    Now, only my current page shows up on the icon. How can I restore my history to the icon on the taskbar?
    Thank you for your time,
    Julie

    1. Type about:config and press Enter in the address bar.
    2. Type browser.taskbar in the Filter box, and double-click the browser.taskbar.previews.enable to enable the setting. Double-click it again to disable it.
    3. Enjoy.

  • I recently purchased Apple TV and it worked right away with my three ipd minis my iPhone 5 and ipad . The next day I cannot get the airplay icon to show up on any thing? Any ideas

    I recently purchased Apple TV and the first day it worked great. The second day I can no longer get the airplay symbol on any of my devices?

    Airplay doesn't show up in control center on any of your devices?
    Have you tried restarting the devices by holding down the home and power button for about ten seconds. I would also try restarting your router/modem.

  • How can I get the iPhone icon to show on the iTunes screen. I want to check some music for loading into the phone, can't locate the phone icon.

    I always have trouble moving music from my MacPro to my phone. The phone icon doesn't show on the iTunes screen where it's supposed to. I may be missing some setup step that makes the phone show there. Any clues?

    Plug the cable into the iPhone and into a USB port directly on your computer, not a USB hub. Also make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.

  • How do I get my recent messages to show while the ...

    I like to keep skype open on my second monitor while I play videogames on the first one and I like to watch people talk in one of my skype groups and I join in when they talk about something I am interested in. The problem is, when the skype window is not the focused window, it stays on the last message I saw and doesn't automatically scroll down with each new message like it does when skype is the main window. How do I get it to show me each new message while skype isn't being actively used?
