Imac Pro Airplay Not Seen in Menu Bar  - New 2012 model

I have a new Mac Book Pro MD101 model A1278 which is apprently supposed to have Airplay and  should be able to see an Airplay icon at the top of the menu bar but I don't.  I also do not have the option to select or activate under display preferences.
I have the latest update of the Lion operation system and my very new Apple TV has just gone through an update.  I can play through Itunes, but not mirror my screen through Airplay as no icon.....please help or explain why my new mac cannot do this?????

It says......
Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) ...... excuse the ignorance (1st Mac) but I thought this was Mountain Lion, and if not would I have to pay for the upgrade??

  • Trading in MacBook Pro 13 inch late 2011 for a new 2012 model

    Hi! I bought a 13-inch MacBook pro late 2011 model just a week ago, on 05 June 2012, from an apple premium reseller. I have hardly used it. Now apple announced their new MacBook pro line yesterday. I went to the reseller today to know whether they would give me a 2012- model MacBook in exchange for the one I bought yesterday. They said no. They said they can only give me a new MacBook if the one I bought has manufacturing defects and if I bring it to them within 10 days of my purchase. Is the reseller following the rules of apple? Can I force them to change my machine for the new one? Pls answer me. I badly need it. Pls support your statements with relevant official links.

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

    The ability to use AirPlay is BOTH an OS requirement(Mountain Lion) AND has hardware requirements.  You need to check and see if your 2010 Air will support Airplay.

  • Preference panes do not open from menu bar extras

    Hello.
    I have an annoying problem : the preference panes in system preferences work well but the shortcuts to open them from the menu bar extras do not.
    For example, when I choose "open bluetooth preferences" in the bluetooth menu bar extra, nothing happens.
    But I can ver y well get to the bluetooth preferences in system preferences.
    Same goes for all Apple or non-Apple menu bar extras which give the option of accessing a system prenerences pane : bluetooth, MenuMeters, Salling Clicker, Apple 's battery meter, Date &Time (those are the ones I use).
    I tried removing the menu extras and re- enabling them, repaired permissions, checked permissions on the menu extras (with Applecare), re-ran the 10.4.5 combo update ... with no effect.
    I think this started after I used Onyx (what a bad idea ...) for "regular" maintenance.
    This is just annoying. Applecare tells me to archive and install.
    I'd love to have a less invasive solution : except this annoying problem, my Mac works perfectly. And "archive and install" is quite time consuming since it is not that innocent with Apple or 3rd party pro apps.
    I remember I had a similar issue with my old Mac by the times of Puma or Jaguar. There was an easier solution than "archive and install" by that time.
    If anyone has any idea, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jérôme.

    The first thing to do is to remove any third party products that use the menu bar. Apple has advised developers from the day OS X came out to not use the menu bar for anything. They made it off limits for whatever reasons they have.
    Of course some developers came up with hacks so that they could use it. Many of us, including me, like them but sometimes they cause problems. That is why I suggest starting there. Remove them and then re check your disk permissions and also run disk utility on your drive to insure that you don't have other issues.
    This may not solve the problem but it is a good place to start.

  • I want Firefox browser not,YAHOO (I don't know this came to be), I'm unable to use the How to make Firefox my browser because this requires a menu bar, and until I get rid of YAHOO! I can not see a menu bar. Help Regards Arthur Norton.

    I want Firefox as Browser. I've got Yahoo, but wish to delete it. I do not have a menu bar therefore cannot use How to make Firefox etc.

  • My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power, My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power

    My MacBook pro will not turn on bought a new charger and it still will not turn on

    Then your problem isn't with the charger/adapter. Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
    It's likely that you'd be best served by taking your machine into your local Apple Store or AASP and having the Apple techs run diagnostics. The diagnosis and estimate to repair should be free.

  • 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.

  • Macbook pro mid 2012 and the airplay feature does not come up.  it comes up in itunes but not on the menu bar or in the displays settings.  What can i do?

    I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago.  I am new to apple so it is pretty much greek to me at this point but I have been able to figure out or google most of my questions.  I have found a million posts about the Airplay feature for mirrioring and most of them are the same issue having a mac that is pre 2011.  There should be no reason I would not have the Airplay option on my system.. I have done the updates avaliable for both the mac and the AppleTV unit, which is a Gen 2 or 3, Also brand new as of 2 weeks ago.  Does anyone know what else I can do or is this something I will have to take in the the Apple Store to fix? 

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You're running Lion, and Mirroring is in Mountain Lion. http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate

  • Maverick. Mirroring Screen to TV Airplay Icon Not visible in Menu bar

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded my OS to Maverick 10.9.1 from Snow leopard. My Laptop is a Macbook 13" Aluminium Late 2008.
    How do I get the Airplay Icon to appear in the Menu Bar so that I can Mirror whats on my macbook to my Television. This is the only reason that I upgraded to maverick as I was informed in an Apple Store that this is what I needed to do.
    I have apple TV,(May 2013) and my Itunes is registered with this TV and works fine, as does my Iphone. I have also updated the apple TV with the latest software.
    I have looked at the Display in preferences, and the show Mirroring options in the menu bar when available is ticked. There are no other options.
    I can choose Apple tv in my sound options as my Output, so the macbook recognises the Apple TV, but only with sound, not Mirroring.
    I hope this makes sense. I have gone through all of the apple help pages, and I am still no further forward.
    Thanking you all in Advance
    Greg Simms

    AirPlay Mirroring (which allows you to mirror your screen to the Apple TV) is only compatible with 2011 and newer Macs, being this the reason why you do not see the mirroring icon. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    As you cannot use AirPlay Mirroring, you can use a third-party application that does the same job, like AirParrot.

  • How do I get the airplay icon on my menu bar?

    I have just purchased a MacBook Pro and want to listen to my music and videos etc through a new airplay Bose - however I can listen to my music no problem but cannot listen to my movies this icon in itunes disappears. What am I missing? I understand that the icon should be on my menu bar but it is not there. Help please

    Go to system preferences / Sound then the output tab and choose your bose speaker ..
    Then all the sound from your computer go though the speaker.
    At the moment is the only way to play videos or films and the sound by a airplay enable device.
    Also you can pressing alt click the sound/volume icon in meni bar and choose bose..
    Sometimes it don't want to go though but try again later or log out and usually works..
    I find myself like you but now i listen to music videos and films or tv shows by airplay with no much problemm
    Hope it helps if you didn't already figure it out..
    Cheers enjoy the experience..

  • Intel iMac stuck at desktop screen, no menu bar, no finder, spinning ball

    Hi, I've just run into a serious problem with my 24" Intel iMac not starting up properly. At first it was getting stuck on the gray screen, then I got it to the blue screen, and now finally I can get it as far as loading the desktop picture, the cursor comes up and is responsive to the mouse, but has now become the spinning beachball. There is no menu bar, and the finder will not load. It's been in this state for about ten minutes. What I did to get it to this state is:
    1. Disconnect all peripherals. I'm using an Apple wireless keyboard and mighty mouse, too.
    2. Reset the PRAM.
    3. Reset the PMU.
    4. Used the installation disc to run Apple Hardware Test (the short version) successfully...no problems.
    5. Used the installation disc to run Disk First Aid. Corrected a minor problem with the file structure.
    6. Used the installation disc to run Disk First Aid. Repaired permissions.
    7. Performed a Safe Boot, and got to the log-in screen, did not log in, but restarted normally as suggested in one of the Apple support articles.
    8. Am now staring at my desktop picture without the menu bar or the Finder, but the spinning beachball is chugging along and is responsive to my mouse.
    If it is of any help, I've noticed for several months that the computer would occasionally fail to wake from sleep, and I'd need to force a shut down by holding the power button for several seconds. Could this have been a precursor to the current problem?
    At this point, I'm not certain which version of 10.5 I have, because I can't check. But I've installed all the Apple updates that have come through, so I must be at the current version of 10.5. I can't remember exactly how much RAM I have installed, either, but it might be 3 GB. I installed a second memory module at the time of purchase, which I bought from Crucial.com.
    I'm having to write this on my ancient PowerBook G4, which is still performing admirably under OS X 10.4.11. Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone can provide! : )

    It appears to have been a short of some sort on my power supply...it blew a capacitor somehow, though I don't know how/when that happened. Computer is on a surge protector, and generally sleeps during day while I'm away, but no power outages or other electrical issues occurred while I was out that I'm aware of.
    Anyway, I had a new power supply installed by an Apple certified technician...opted not to do it myself...and discovered that the HD is perfectly fine. No data loss. Phew! Just two weeks w/o my computer, and no way to recover backup files on Time Capsule in the meantime.
    Thanks for all the help and advice!
