AirPlay
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).

  • I have a mac  book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. it doesnt show on software updat

    I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.

    10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
    To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

  • How do I get the airplay icon to stay in my menu bar?

    I have a macbook pro, and I mirrored my entire desktop to my apple TV for a moment. So I have all the correct software, but the icon won't stay in my menu bar. I opened a video and the connection from computer to TV was lost. How do I get it to stay in my menu bar?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • How do I get the Firefox icon to appear on my menu bar instead of a question mark?

    I have been using Firefox 3.7 and recently downloaded 4.0
    An icon showing Firefox on what lloks like a memort stick icon appeared on my desktop. I am a Mac OSX user. When I dragged the icon to my menu bar, a question mark (?) appeared instead of the Firefox icon. How do I get the firefox icon to appear correctly on the men bar?

  • HT201335 i don't see the airplay icon on my macbook pro menu bar. I'm running OSX 10.7.5. What's up?

    I have a late 2011 machine. I keep the display icon in the menu bar but I can't find anything that will get the airplay icon to show. I'm tyring to connect to my Apply TV, which is on.
    I do have Air Display on the machine, not sure if that's messing it up.

    I'm running OSX 10.7.5.
    That's what's up.
    AirPlay mirroring requires OS X 10.8. Buy Mountain Lion in the App Store.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
    As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files

    Yes, under the Settings for the store, you can turn off the auto download for purchases, that way if you purchase an app on another device it will not automatically download on that device.  You would need to do this on both your iPad and iPhone.

    Logic's preference files may have become corrupted:
    1. Quit Logic Pro
    2. In the Finder, press and hold down the "option" key then select "Library" from the "Go" menu
    3. Open the "Preferences" folder
    4. Drag the following files to the Trash:
        - com.apple.logic.pro.cs
        - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist
        - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
        - com.apple.logic.pro.plist
        - com.apple.logic.pro.plist.lockfile
    These files will be re-created when Logic is next opened.

    Spotlight may be indexing your drive(s).  Click the Spotlight icon at the right of your menubar; if it shows things being indexed, that's at least some of the reason. 

  • I tried to download the new Lion software, but was blocked.  Apparently I don't have the Leopard version on my Mac.  I have attempted to download THAT version but it doesn't appear to be available as a download.  Is that correct?

    You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY

  • Help! i downloaded a newer version of Safari but it turns out it isn't compatible with my OS X (10.6.8). Now my computer is dead in the water - essentially it doesn't have a web browser.

    Help! I downloaded a newer version of Safari but it turns out ... its not compatible with my OS X. Now my computer essentially has no browser and can't connect to the internet.

    "… my dilemma is that my iMac…"
    Download the old Safari to the MBP. Use a flash drive to transfer the .dmg installation file from the MBP to the iMac. Open the .dmg on the iMac and install Safari 5.1.10.
    But, frankly, I don't think that simply reinstalling the old Safari will work because of all the peripheral, under the hood changes that happen when you upgrade from one version of Safari to another. Reinstalling 5.1.10 may be insufficient to turn back the clock. (This is the moment where a Time Machine or another form of full backup would save your bacon.)
    While you're getting a copy of Safari, get a copy of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/), too, so that you have an alternate browser to use as you're sorting matters.
