Is AirPlay mirroring available only on OS 10.8 and above?

No matter what I try, I can't see the mirroring icon in the nav bar. I am running 10.7.5 on a mid-2011 Mac. My Apple TV 2 is running the most recent upgrade, but I am not willing to upgrade to Maverick (too many negative comments).
Thanks

I believe that Air play is available only on Macs running 10.8 or 10.9. A quick check of the tech specs don't mention air play until you get to 10.8.

Need to share my MAC screen with apple TV display and eliminate the cable.

It's a glaring omission in my view, but Apple's focus seems to be on phones and tablets not OS X.

I am tring to mirror ipad2. I just upgraded to IOS5. Is it an apple TV problem or an Ipad2 problem?
What should I try to fix the problem?

I think i found the solution. I got mine working.
Reboot the iPad by holding down the Home button and power button at the same time for 6 seconds. The screen will turn black, apple logo will appear, and it will restart.
Then restart the Apple TV. (I just unplugged the power)
Then restart your wireless router. (again, I just pulled the plug on it)
After doing that, i tried the mirroring again, and it worked great. As soon as I turned it on, it appeared on my TV and is working very quickly. (well, everything I do on the iPad is delayed on the TV by half a second)

HT204291 I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on

I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on the left. When I watch Cable Television (not using the Apple TV), all 3 channels work fine so I know that the speaker connections are fine.

I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using. The original one conflicted with my neighbor. After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished. Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi). I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another). :-)

I accidentally deleted Garageband on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8. The new version of Garageband is only compatible with 10.9 and above. Is it possible to still get the older version? OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD for my computer

The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.
If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.
Is it possible to still get the older version?
Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.
Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?
OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee.

Airplay Mirroring shows only black screen on ATV

I have a mid 2011 MacBook Pro and a 3rd generation Apple TV. When I installed Mountain Lion a couple of weeks ago and tried out Airplay Mirroring, it worked fine.
I wanted to try it out again today, but it doesn't work anymore. When switching to Airplay Mirroring by clicking on the icon in the menu bar, the Apple TV turns black and I am getting the color wheel on the MBP ever time I get to the menu bar. The Airplay Mirroring button is unresponsive and the only way to get the color wheel to go away is to restart the MBP.
I've already restarted the Apple TV multiple times, as well as my Time Capsule.
When streaming videos from within iTunes using AirPlay, everything works fine. Also AirPlay Mirroring from my iPhone works fine.
Anyone have any suggestions what could be the cause of the black screen and MBP crash?

Just chiming it that I have the very same problem. I bought an AppleTV yesterday. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 (Is that Mountain Lion, or Lion? Whatever, it's the latest OS. Stop with silly names Apple - just versions OK - I digress). I have 2.7 Ghz Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM. So, I am within specs for AirPlay mirroring.
So, it mirrored once fine. I logged out of the MacBook and into another account, and it would show a blank screen on the TV. Thought it might be something with parental controls or something, so logged back into my account, and now all we get is a blank screen. Reboots of the AppleTV do nothing. Went ahead and installed the latest firmware on the AppleTV.
All other AirPlay devices work fine. I can stream from my iPhones.
This is so not like Apple to have such a buggy feature shipped with a device. I probably wouldn't use it that much, but don't put it in there if it doesn't work right. There are several threads on this topic, so it's not a unique problem.
Also, Photostream for AppleTV is poo poo, too. Another topic.

After standby AirPlay Mirroring tranfers only sound and no video

After standby, my Mac (mid 2012) with Yosemite is just transferring audio and no video to Apple TV (the newest one)... When i Reboot the mac all works great.
What is the problem please ? Thanks for any help !

You have to follow the following two steps when doing AirPlay from iMac:
Step 1: Open System Preferences and click on sound. Then Click on the output tab and select Apple TV instead of Built-in
Step 2: Click on AirPlay on the Menu bar and Click on Apple TV as you have already done.
It will work just fine. The trick is that you have to set the Sound option BEFORE you send the video to ATV. I don't know why this is but it is not automatic unlike MacBook Air. When you turn off AirPlay you have to change the sound option to Built-in to go back to listening to sound on your iMac.

AirPlay mirroring issue "No Device Detected" with MBP2011 and ATV2

I upgraded my MBP (early 2011) to Mountain Lion. I have an ATV2 (v4.2.1 software). I am trying to AirPlay mirror from the MBP to the ATV but am getting a greyed out "No Device Detected" drop down. Both MBP and ATV2 are on the same network.

The issue is the "Projectors" as well (VGA projectors even DVI), Now Apple is asking all Universities, Colleges and High Schools to spend millions of Dollars to replace all their Projectors so students and professors they can install Mountain lion in order to run their presentations...Apple Mail still with BBC Bug, and many other bugs are not fixed yet because their nightmare Steve Jobs who was push on them to fix these bugs is not alive, and yes they can do anything bad to destroy Apple.
Mountain Lion is CRAP same thing as LION, Apple is doing worse and worse until Samsung will create a good machines for Microsoft, then Steve Jobs will wake up from his grave asking the bad administration of Apple why they are destroying it with such CRAP!!

When will airplay be available for other iMac?

My i7 2010 iMac can't run AirPlay yet. When will this become available for the rest of us??

when will airplay be available for other iMac?
Probably never.
Airplay mirroring is only available on these models:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
It will presumably become available on future Mac releases. For everyone else, there's the third-party, AirParrot.

Why is it not possible to use airplay mirroring on earlier macbook pro models with Mountain Lion?

I know there are questions alike mine, but if anybody knows some new information on this, please let us know.
I've been looking forward to this release of the OSX, especially the built in AirPlay mirroring function for the Mac Pro, which I've been missing ever since I bought the Apple TV.
Now finally when I went to download Mountain Lion, I accidentally search google, and find out that AirPlay mirroring is only supported on early 2011 Mac Pro and later?
What are the earlier users going to do? I have an early 2009 model of the Mac Pro, and I just wan't to know if I'll be able to utilize the new AirPlay mirroring function or not, which determines whether or not I'm going to upgrade my OSX version
Hope someone's got news on this one.
Best regards, Thomas

What's up with the screw job on the Airplay mirroring? Macbook Pro (mid 2010) too old to have feature included in Mountain upgrade? Bull!

Mountain Lion's integrated AirPlay mirroring support only works with the following Mac models:
iMac—Mid 2011 or newer
Mac mini—Mid 2011 or newer
MacBook Air—Mid 2011 or newer
MacBook Pro—Early 2011 or newer
If your Mac isn't on that list, your won't ever see an AirPlay option in Mountain Lion's menubar.
What separates these Macs from other Mountain Lion-compatible machines is that these are the only models that have support for Intel's QuickSync technology. What confirmed this requirement for me was the fact that my Retina MacBook Pro switched to integrated Intel HD4000 graphics even when otherwise running on the discrete NVIDIA GT 650M GPU. No matter what you are doing or what resolution you are running, AirPlay Mirroring in Mountain Lion requires an integrated Intel HD3000 or HD4000 graphics processor and its QuickSync technology to work, full stop.

Does airplay mirroring work on MacBook Pro late 2011 ( Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5)?

Hi guys,
I would like to use airplay mirroring on apple tv (3rd generation) with my macbook pro late 2011, unfortunately the airplay option does not appear in the display preferences (see screenshot below). Did someone have this problem before? Please advise!
Thank you!
Tial

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 Your computer is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, but you have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion to get AirPlay Mirroring.
Make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, the installer will appear, so follow the steps to upgrade. To turn on AirPlay Mirroring, select the AirPlay icon in the menu bar or open System Preferences > Displays

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...
