HT201343 Is Mountain Lion Airplay feature enabled on boot-up?

I would like to be able to log into and access my Mac Mini from the comfort of my sofa. If Airplay is enabled,
can i use the AppleTV to display the initial login screen.
Also, assuming the above is possible, should the Bluetooth keyboard be paired with the AppleTV or with the Mini?

Airplay is initiated from the device being mirrored and not from the Apple TV.

Mountain Lion Airplay feature is False Advertising

Here's my note to Apple:
After a frustrating 2 hour call on why airplay in Mountain Lion did not work properly - see transcript of case # 356682008 - i was told to connect via ethernet cable to identify the issue. Ethernet Cable - in my household they went the way of dinosaurs as the one feature that made me upgrade to mountain lion was the ability to use airplay wirelessly - without having to connect the $60 Apple cable to my HDTV anymore. I do not even know the last time I had an ethernet cabe in my hands.
The fact that nowhere in your literature as of this morning requested an ethernet cable as part of the specification for use of the features of Mountain Lion basically equates to false advertising - either that or the MacBook Pro you sold me lack some of the functions that you were supposed to provide - I would like to know how are you going to fix this situation that does not require me to waste any more of my billable time with you.

Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays
At the bottom of this window should be an AirPlay Mirroring drop down list that should display your AppleTV.
If your AppleTV does not display here, then it is either disconnected from the network, or your MBP is connected to a different network than your AppleTV. It sounds like you potentially have two networks available to you (the Motorola and the Linksys). Both devices must be on the same network.
If your AppleTV is listed, but you are still not able to Mirror your display to your HDTV, check the resolution settings for the external display (AppleTV). An AppleTV2 can only display to 720p (or 1280x720). If you are attempting to force a higher resolution (1080p / 1920x1080), then the AppleTV is receiving an "unrecognized/invalid signal" and will not display.

Mountain Lion mirroring feature.

When Apple Maps was proven to be faulty and Tim Cook apologizes to the users and added to be better as users will provide FEEDBACK. Do you think Apple reads these feedbacks? There are thousand users asking from Apple about Mountain Lion mirroring features not available for mid 2010 iMac. Until now Apple is quite about it. Apple does not need your feedback, it needs your money.

Although i have tried airaParrot, nothing beats the functionalities that come with mirroring and airplaying through an apple based software like the one made available through the ipod touch and ipad. I hope apple develops an app for 2010 macbook pro users.

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

Yes as I said before. If your model Mac came with Snow Leopard and you are now running Mt Lion and have Windows installed in a Boot Camp Partition all you have to do is make the Mt Lion partition smaller, take the free space and make it another Mac partition and you should be able to install Snow Leopard into that partition.
I have Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt Lion installed on my MBP. No Windows in a Boot Camp partition because I run Windows XP in a Virtual Machine on both Lion and Mt Lion.

Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work on newest MBP

Hello,
I have a 15" MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with OS X Mountain Lion installed. When Apple TV is available, there is an AirPlay icon in the menu bar. When I enable AirPlay Mirroring, my Apple TV turns into black but sound is streaming. No image at all. I tried different screen resolutions but none of them works, my TV supports 1080p and my Apple TV is 3rd generation with newest software (5.0.2). When the AirPlay Mirroring is enabled, there is a high upload speed so I believe the image is actually streaming. And there is no update for my Mac system. When I use iTunes to play a video, then that video can show up on the Apple TV, but besides that, mirroring doesn't work. My Apple TV has no issue when working with iPhone and iPad AirPlay. Do you have any ideas about this? Thank you so much!

Hey,
I have the exact same problem. Read at least a dozen forums, and wasted 3 hours solving it.
Finally, a simple 'restart' solved my problem....
Hope it will for you.

Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring (iMac to AppleTV) Not Working

Mountain Lion successfully installed on my iMac.
AppleTV sucessfully networked with my iMac (at least where iTunes and iPhoto are concerned.)
But AirPlay icon is NOT appearing in my menu bar. Any clues as to why this is?
In System Preferences, I've checked "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" but still nothing.
Below is a screenshot of my menu bar. Thanks in advance!

I agree, what is the point of making an operating system compatible with a particular computer and then arbitrarily disabling the most meaningful features. It seems like Apple is once again forcing us to wastefully update equipment through less than honest means. Any update they have should have a clear list of what will not be relevant to you with te equipment you are using. I would not have purchased Mountail Lion if I had been aware that AirPlay would not work. And before someone tells me that I just needed to check to look and it was clear. I went so far as to make sure my graphics card was compatible. Which is really the only thing I can see being a reasonable excuse for disabling a feature such as this.

Mountain lion airplay mirroring on apple tv

has anyone notice that airplay mirroring feature on mountain lion is not plays smoothly.
i have a macbook pro late 2011. and on my macbook that i have two user accounts. the first time i upgrade the OS to mountain lion right away i tried the airplay mirroring. which a lot of mac's user waiting and a lot of user disspointed because their mac didnt support that feature. back to my issue. two user accounts on my mac. the first account played the airplay mirroring doing all right. after that, i switched to my second account on my mac. and turn on the airplay mirroring. theres a prob. im just hear the sound come out from my tv through the apple tv. but i didnt see any pictures on the tv from my macbook screen. or just blue screen showing or broken pictures from my macbook's screen and its frozen. so all i have to do is i have to restart my macbook after restart my macbook. if i want to use the airplay mirroring on my second account on my mac. i better dont turn on the airplay mirroring on first account. if i do so. on my second account wont play the aiplay mirroring. so bottom line, u have to restart ur mac everytime for switching airplay mirroring on ur another user acount on ur mac.
hoping u guys understand and help me to solves the issues. and hopefully, apple read my issue and fixed the bugs or something. thanks...

I have the same issue... strange bug

With Mountain Lion, airplay no longer works, why not?

The only thing that has changed is that I went from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
Have mid-2010 iMac, 3 Airport Express', 3 powered speakers. Was able to send music to three rooms. Firewall was on.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion I noticed the firewall was off. I turned it back on.
I tried sending music via the Airport Express'.
Got a message that my firewall settings were preventing Airplay and that I should turn the firewall off.
That seems likde a bad idea.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.
^^^
that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here

Mountain Lion new features

I downloaded the new mountain Lion but I cannot find any of the new features like Imessage etc.

Do you see three little dots with three little lines in the right upper corner of your screen?

ARD and Mountain Lion - Resume feature

We think we have discovered and issue with ARD, the resume feature and Mountain Lion.
We have 3 all intel mac labs at our middle school.
We just upgraded to Mountain Lion
We use ARD all the time for locking screens, teaching and disseminating software.
We have had an issue with Resume which we would just like to permanently remove. We seem to have discovered this, anyone else having this issue?
1. Set up the client computer so that resume does not work (don't need it with 500 kids using computers in a middle school). We set the General preferences and also made the Saved State folder read only.
2. When we manually launch an app, restart the computer it seems to work fine. (Manually= stand in front of the computer use your hand and the mouse)
3. When we launch and app with ARD (open item) and then restart the computer with ARD, the app always opens on restart.
Go figure. Will do more testing tomorrow but we think this is what is happening. This is unfortunate because kids always forget to quit apps or think that by clicking on the Red dot they are quitting not just closing the window. We use the ARD restart to sort of 'reset' the computer fresh, does us no good if Resume restarts the saved state.
Anyone else have this issue?

Confirmed that this bug still exists in OS X 10.9.4 and 10.9.5. It is likely that the command line version of the restart tool (which is what ARD would send) does not honour the preferences. I’ve filed a bug (18571950).

I would like to know if the new mountain lion social feature works with firefox.

I added social networking to my accounts on mountain lion. In Safari there is a share button directly next to the address bar. I am wondering if this feature is also compatible with firefox. I can't seem to find a share button.

hello, the developers at mozilla are already working on an integration of sharing & social features into the browser - at the moment they are scheduled to land in firefox 17.
in the meantime you could try the ''firefox share'' addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-share-alpha/

OS X Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring

AirPlay Mirroring is advertised to work on ANY early 2011 or later MacBook Pro. I bought my MacBook Pro on 2-22-2011 yet I am unable to get AirPlay Mirroring working. I made sure that my MacBook Pro SHOULD be able to use AirPlay Mirroring BEFORE I bought Mountain Lion, and to be honest, I feel I was ripped off, because, as far as I can tell my MacBook Pro is perfectly capable of using AirPlay Mirroring however I am not able to.

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).
