HT201343 Airplay mirroring

My macbook pro 13 inch early 2011 don't have an airplay mirroring.  What should I do?

if you don't run Mountain Lion you don't have mirror and
if your mac is not listed as supported you don't have airplay mirror

  • 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

  • HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring Secondary Display Content

    Can airplay mirror the contents of a secondary display on your mac or will it always be the primary display's content?

    AirPlay Mirroring only streams your principal display

  • HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring. The ATV3 screen goes black.

    When my mid MBP 2011 connects via AirPlay Mirroring. Mountain Lion.  The screen goes black. It has worked before. Now it doesn't.  I checked firewall, graphics switching and rebooting all devices.
    Streaming via iTunes works fine. ATV3 can access my MBP's library.
    thanks!

    Problem solved... sorta!
    It appears that Parallels 7 is not compatible with Airplay Desktop Mirroring in ML
    If you remove this file com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist
    inside
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    then reboot.
    ATV3 now works again with Airplay Mirroring.
    However, it breaks Parallels.  And you simply cannot put the com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist file back inside /Library/Daemons.  You need to re-install Parrallels. Could be a permissions thing, but I tried to repaire and follow Parallels instructions on how to start and stop the service.
    I Hope this helps save someone some time...

  • HT201343 Airplay mirroring whilst using minidisplay port

    Hi,
    I was hoping someone could offer advice as I'm struggling to find the answer.
    If I use airplay mirroring on a 2012 macbook air whilst a second external display is also connected through a minidisplay port adapter would the airplay mirroring of the macbook air display and extended desktop though minidisplay port still function correctly? 
    Any assistance would be much appreciated!
    Thanks

  • HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring Not supported - After downloading OS X Mountain Lion I found out that AirPlay is only Supported for Mid 2011 or newer iMacs - Is there a workaround

    I got a new Apple TV for Christmas, I read tha the OS X Mountain Lion supported AirPlay with the Apple TV, so I paid for the OS upgrade.  After the upgrade I found out that AirPlay is not supported on iMac's older than mid 2011.   This ***** because this was the only reasion I needed the upgrade,   It should have been more clearly posted that the features of the new OS were only supported on specific machines!
    Short of buying a new iMac is there a way to use Airport Mirroring from my iMac to the TV ?
    What other Mountain Lion features don't work on a late 2009 iMac ?

    First, if you would have visted http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ you would have seen there is a VERY LARGE and IN BOLD section that covers what functions of 10.8 are limited to what macs.  Second "needed the upgrade"... spare me.
    To your, "work around" question a lot of people report a third party app named "air parrot" as pretty reliable.  You're welcome to try your luck with that.

  • HT201343 airplay mirror only 1 desktop and work on the other

    I want to only mirror one desktop to watch a show and switch back to my other desktop to do work.  Is this possible with airplay?  If not, is there another option/software that does this (like airparrot or another tool)?
    Thanks!

    What program are you using to watch a show? If it's iTunes, can't you use normal AirPlay (not mirroring)?

  • HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring problems

    Why airplay mirrowing does not work on an i7 processor iMac 11,1 with osx 10.8. It was to be a feature on 10.8.

    Forgot the link that explains!

  • HT201343 Airplay mirroring switched off, and still connecting. (OSX MLion,  MB-Air 13")

    I tested the mirroring, it was very glitchy, but thats not my concern. My problem was switching mirroring OFF, and it reconnecting on its own while roomates watched TV. They watched me write emails, open iTunes, and then sent me images of me writing the email. Funny, but not.

    Thank you so much wchp, this is brilliant. I have had this annoying problem for a long time. I eventually rang Mac support, they did not know how to fix the problem as you have suggested so they instigated many hardware replacements which eventually left my iMac severely crippled. They eventually replaced it with the latest model. But I spent two months working with a disabled computer which really interfere with my work.
    Your solution appears to have solved my problem, at least so far, but I am hopeful that it is a permanent fix. I hope that your suggestions are taken up by Apple support. This may solve many users problems and avoid Apple making expensive fixes that don't actually work.
    I thought that the new iMac would not have the 'Wake up from sleep by painting in the login window' problem but it did, this really annoyed me. Anyway now the problem appears to be solved, it's not I will repost and keep working on it. Thanks again.

  • HT201343 Airplay Mirroring from my Mac to Apple TV.

    My Mac is not finding the Apple TV device even though they are on the same wireless network. What can I do?

    troubleshoot by trying to connect them by ethernet cables to the router to rule out the wifi being the problem

  • HT201343 airplay mirroring doesn't work anymore in my Macbook Pro retina display!!

    It doesn't work since 3 weeks ago

    Did you manage to get it working again?
    I have the same problem (also MBP Retina) and i could solve it by installing 10.8 again, but after some weeks ist fails again.

  • HT201343 I have a Late 2011 model 13' Macbook Pro and i purchased Apple TV because it should support Airplay mirroring.  It says i should have the airplay icon on my menu bar but it does not appear.

    According to the help page i was viewing my Late 2011 13' MacBook Pro should support Airplay Mirroring.  However the airplay icon does not appear on my menu bar like i says it should and when i go to System prefereneces>Display nothing appears there about Mirroring as well (like it says it should).  The help page specifically says that Late 2011 MacBook Pros should support Mirroring etc... 
    Any suggestions?  I'm all ears...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Airplay needs 10.8 or later, you need to update your operating system.

  • HT201343 Can I update my Mac to support airplay mirroring?

    Can I update my Mac to support airplay mirroring?

    P.S. Forgot to mention you might try a 3rd party application called AirParrot. I have never tried it but it was developed to let you mirror from Mac's that don't meet the hardware requirements.
    Good Luck
