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.

Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs  that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
Another solution is the Air Parrot.

  • HT201335 AirPlay Mirroring is working from iPad and iPhone, but not from Macbook Pro.  How to fix?

    I can see and activate AirPlay Mirroring from Macbook but nothing displays on the TV when mirroring is activated (screen changes from Apple TV menu to blank screen only).  I have 3rd generation Apple TV and a brand new Macbook Pro, so AirPlay Mirroring is supported by both devices.  I can display video content on the TV from my MacBook from iTunes by selecting to display on Apple TV instead of my computer, but it does not work for mirroring.
    For reference, when I activate AirPlay Mirroring from iPad or iPhone, it works perfectly and content is displayed on my TV.
    Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

    Mountain Lion's integrated AirPlay mirroring support only works with the following Mac models:
    iMac—Mid 2011 or newer
    Mac mini—Mid 2011 or newer
    MacBook Air—Mid 2011 or newer
    MacBook Pro—Early 2011 or newer
    If your Mac isn't on that list, your won't ever see an AirPlay option in Mountain Lion's menubar.
    What separates these Macs from other Mountain Lion-compatible machines is that these are the only models that have support for Intel's QuickSync technology. What confirmed this requirement for me was the fact that my Retina MacBook Pro switched to integrated Intel HD4000 graphics even when otherwise running on the discrete NVIDIA GT 650M GPU. No matter what you are doing or what resolution you are running, AirPlay Mirroring in Mountain Lion requires an integrated Intel HD3000 or HD4000 graphics processor and its QuickSync technology to work, full stop.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 If it's compatible, you have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Then, you will be able to turn on AirPlay on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep with OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly

  • HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

    Airplay mirroring.
    Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
    Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
    When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi!
    I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
    I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
    So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
    I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Cindy.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

    Airplay will connect and play music from itunes.

    Based on what I found here: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    it will not work:

  • Airplay Mirroring on MacBook Pro mid09

    I have checked and my mid 2009 2.8gz Core2Duo MacBook Pro will run Mountain Lion.  Can anyone tell me if there might be any issues using the Airplay Mirroring feature of Mountain Lion when it's running on my MacBook Pro?  i would think if Apple ok'd the system, it should work, but I don't know of any special requirements of Airplay Mirroring

  • HT1600 When I airplay from my macbook air to Apple TV there is a checkerboard display on the computer screen when the movie starts and on the apple tv .

    How to fix airplay to my apple tv. Home airplay is "on" on the apple tv and the computer. Movie plays on the macbook air but when airplay is activated a checkboard screen covers the computer and tv. They are on the same wi-fi. Blue tooth on the computer is off.

    You have mirroring enabled. If you are trying to play iTunes content just use home sharing or airplay.
