HT201335 I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

You can still use iTunes to send audio and video to the Apple TV.

Will a 10.9 iMac support airplay mirroring

will a 10.9 iMac support airplay mirroring

Of course, always that you have got a Mid 2011 or newer iMac. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If your iMac is not supported, you can use an application like AirParrot or Beamer to mirror your iMac's screen to the Apple TV

How much Memory Should my IMac have? iMac, 24-inch, Intel Core 2 Duo

Hi, I have a problem. I have a iMac, 24-inch, Intel Core 2 Duo which had to have a hard drive replaced. Brought it home today and it is not the same? It makes weird noises when processing info and it seems to run slower. I noticed that the memory is only 1GB and this model should have 2 or something along those lines? It seems as though they didn't replace this with what I had on my original one? Can anyone help me, let me know how to verify that I am lacking what I had on this machine when I bought it and what should this model have on it? I am so ****** off right now, it isn't funny!
Also, I can't go into my Iphoto and make any of my pictures a desktop image. That leads me to believe it is a low memory issue. Right?

What imac do you have how old is it. The 2.4ghz 20inch model still comes with 1gb as standard in the uk anyway. most intel imac including mine are totally silent, is it overheating download a great widget called istat pro at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html this will show you your fan and temp etc. If it in warranty then take it back to apple or phone them with the machine serial number and they will inform you to what spec the imac was shipped to you. The desktop image problem - go-to system preferences then to desktop and screen saver you will find all your iphoto folder and events in the right hand side just click on your image this should work.

AppleTV, iMac and Airplay mirroring

I'm having a strange issue with Airplay mirroring from an iMac Late 2012 (10.9.1) to AppleTV (both 2nd and 3rd generation).
When I turn Airplay mirroring on the iMac says connected, Console is not showing any errors and the TV goes and stays black.
Now I'm trying the same on a Macbook Air Mid 2011 (10.9.1) and everything works fine, both WiFi and using the same Ethernet cable I was using with the iMac. I'm also trying with a Mac Mini, Late 2012 (10.9.1) which works without any issues too.
Regardless of TV (Samsung and Philips) connected to the AppleTV, HDMI cable. Also tried both WiFi and wired.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Daniel

Some further info after advanced testing.
If I go into iTunes start a video and chose Airplay everything plays correctly on the TV. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is Airplay mirroring.
Thanks for any ideas,
Daniel

Should my IMac have come with backup software CDs?

I took delivery of my I-Mac last week and, although there is a lot to learn, I love it. I just realised that it never came with any backup CDs. Should I have received these?

No. The quote below from http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/imac shows what it should come with.
Information on how to recover without discs: http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
What’s in the box
iMac
Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple Magic Mouse
Power cord

I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.
I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
Thank you!

If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

HT201335 Can you Airplay Mirror from iMac to Apple TV?

I want to play a DVD on my iMac and airplay mirror to my Apple TV. Is this possible?

If you have a newer Mac yes, I don't remember the cutoff date but I think it's mid 2011.
If yours is older than that there's a program called Airparrot you can download that will let older Macs do Airplay. For me it worked great and it's only $10. It has a 20 minute trial so you can make sure it works before you buy it.

Airplay mirror

I have Airplay Mirror working fine over wifi. But to try and speed up its responce time I connected via ethernet direct from Mac pro to apple tv missing out my router. but when I turn off my wifi on the mac it will not let me mirror. Is it possible to mirror this way?
Thanks

The only thing I can think that might work... Go to System Preferences… Sharing...
Share your connection from: Ethernet...
Check the Ethernet box... (To computer using)
Check the Internet Sharing box.
This might not work because the Apple TV is not a computer.

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.
