Mac 2009 airplay

Please,
maybe a stupid question... could I use may imac (late 2009) to stream music trought airplay to an AV receiver airplay compatible?
I know that my imac does not support airply mirroring.
Thanks in advance

Hello maltus,
As long as the computer is running iTunes 10 or later, it should be capable of broadcasting to an AirPlay enabled system. In case things don't pan so smoothly, we've an article that can help iron out any potential wrinkles.
Listening through multiple speakers
With AirPlay and iTunes 10 or later, you can listen to music through your computer speakers and multiple AirPlay outputs.

  • MAC 2009 laptop volume not working properly.

    The volume on my Mac 2009 laptop is not functioning properly.  Earlier today i was listening to music and the sound was fine; but when I went on my computer again, the sound sounded like I had headphones plugged in, which I did not.  I checked the sound settings and nothing was on mute and all the volume's were set to the highest level possible.  I restarted my computer and reset the NVRAM/PRM, but all to no avail.  When I put on my headphones, the sound is completely normal and works prefectly, but when I take the headphones out, it sounds like the headphones still in plugged in to my computer which it is not.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.    
          Thanks!

  • Why can't my mac use airplay?

    I have a two year old mac book pro and have recently discovered after paying $19.99 for OSX Mountain Lion that I will not be able to utilize airplay.
    Airplay is one of the featured products with the new  OSX software:
    AirPlay Mirroring is made for an audience. Because with a click, what’s on your Mac is also on your HDTV. It’s easy to set up with Apple TV. Show web pages and videos to friends on the couch, share lessons with a classroom, or present to a conference room. AirPlay audio streams the music, podcasts, and other audio on your Mac to AirPlay-enabled speakers. It’s a big deal for your Mac. And for everyone around it.
    This ad, for AirPlay, makes no clear reference to the fact that any Mac more than one year old will not be able to utilize the feature.
    Considering I recently purchased an IPhone 4S and also own an Apple TV device, and purchased my mac book pro only 2 years ago, I find it ridiculous that such a feature would be incompatible with perfectly fine hardware, especially considering the price paid for these devices. All the while considering I paid for Mountain Lion banking on the plan that I could utilize Airplay, which, due to misguiding advertising discovered that my i7 decked out Macbook Pro would be incapable of utilizing the arguably primary function of the $19.99 mountain lion upgrade.
    I had chosen Apple as the sole source of all of my new hardware because I considered their hardware intuitive and simple, and it frustrates me as a loyal customer to find out that they are making their new purchased updates exclusive and restrictive to macs of a 2011+ model.
    Apple has been successful thus far due to a great amount of satisfaction among it's consumers, I hope this utter disappointment is not the direction apple is turning towards as a company as I will not continue to choose a company with such a dismissive level of consideration for a vast majority of it's consumers.
    This is my first disappointment as a devout apple customer, and I sincerely hope it is my last.
    I would hate to regret all of the heartfelt support I have provided Apple over the years to people who have doubted the level of fulfillment purchasing an Apple product used to provide. I sincerely hope things turn around quickly, as I am sincerely confused as to what my $19.99 brought me. Let alone the thousands of dollars I have provided to this company.

    based on all the specs listed i met them and airplay still does not work -çhes a copy of my response 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.

  • What kind of sata interface do i need to retrieve data from mac 2009

    ATTENTION MAC GEEKS!!!  My warranty has run out on my macbook and I have a corrupted hard-drive. After mistaking the display adapter port on my macbook 2009 for a thunderbolt port (wishful thinking on my part) I finally realized this version of macbook does not have any type of firewire OR thunderbolt port, and neither does the mac I borrowed to use as a target drive through which to run data rescue software. I did come across some people saying they used ethernet to interface the two macs, so after trying forever to set that up with no luck I found references to a "migration" applet that I would need to download to both computers. Since one has a damaged hard drive and will only boot from the install disk (but cannot be repaired with it), I can't exactly download the "migration" applet and the support documentation for my data rescue software states that an ethernet connection will not work at all anyway! Unfortunately my time machine died about six months ago, and all I really, really, really REALLY want is access to my documents folder on the macbook with the corrupted/damaged hard drive. The software documentation does say that a SATA connection will work and allow my second mac to scan the broken mac h/d. I've come across some usb - sata connections, but have also come across articles saying that using any form of usb connection to run a scan on a h/d won't work as usb (older usb, probably 2.0) is too slow. Darn, darn darn. I hadn't wanted to open the macbook if I didn't have to, but as I have to I will. However I don't feel comfortable making a sata to sata connection between the two drives as the second machine does not belong to me. How should I approach this? I am just sooo.....grrr about the missing ports on these Macbooks. I really hadn't notices as I never had to do this before! Any suggestions/help would be appreciated !!! would it work using this usb/sata connection? And so I don't get even more surprises, do all sata work on all h/d's? I used to network and maintain pc's, even setting up secondary h/d's but those were desktops and it was a few years ago, AND everything Apple just seems so...proprietary to me. PLEASE HELP!!!

    You can replace the internal disk with a new one and then reinstall the operating system.  As you do that, save the corrupted drive and place it in an external enclosure which you then plug into your working MacBook.  You can then try to salvage data off of the corrupted disk (if possible).
    For a new internal disk you might as well purchase a 1 TB fast hybrid SSD-disk since it only costs $105 and will speed up your system considerably.  The following reference will include the external enclosure you will need into which you can put the corrupted disk.  http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Toshiba/YTOS1TBHYS/ .  You can find instructions for the repair at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Laptop. 
    If the corrupt will spin any you cannot retrieve the files using the Finder then try using DiskWarrior, uFlysoft, or McAfee Data Recovery for Mac.

              http://www.uflysoft.com/
              http://mcaf.ee/x0pfi
    Once it is in the external enclosure, if it won’t spin give it a gentle tap on a table and see if it will.  I have revived several disk drives that way.

  • IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode (Error 2006 (Mac) 2009 (Windows)

    Hi everyone, my iPhone 5 has just randomly stopped working. It's out of warranty so Apple won't help at all. The screen just wouldn't turn on at all so I opened it up and checked out all the connections and somehow I got the screen on, when plugged in it shows an iTunes logo so I plugged it into my computer and it said it was in recovery mode. I try to restore and I get Error 2006 on my Mac and Error 2009 on my windows computer. I have tried all different ports and all different lightning connectors to no avail. I have also replaced the battery which didn't help.
    I'm thinking it is the charging port but I'm not sure. Does it seem like I should replace that?

  • Why are my Macs not airplay compatible devices?

    I have been using Mac Minis for many years connected to LCD TVs and prefer having a real, full-on Mac computer over a limited Apple TV. It is extremely annoying that there is no Airplay for desktops connected to TV. I spent a lot more than the cost of AppleTVs, but I am left out. The current Mac Mini has a fricken HDMI output!
    Can anyone from Apple answer why this is the case? Does it make sense?
    Anyone else have this same gripe?

  • Older mac 2009 getting slower with new updates

    Hi
    This may be obvious - but does installing 6 years of updates onto my 2009 iMac result in the computer getting slower? Response times for searching in safari get longer etc and generally taking a few minutes to work fully is getting longer as the years go by. It could be old age I suppose.
    Thanks

    How much RAM do you have installed? Apple menu>About this Mac>Memory will show this information. 2gb of RAM and the Mac will work, but likely perform like a slug, 4gb is better, but in my experience performance is still not great. 8gb and the Mac should perform well. I recently upgraded an early '09 Mac with 4gb of RAM to 8gb and the difference is like chalk and cheese - no more spinning beachballs or fans working overtime.
    Macsales and Crucial are good places to buy RAM, and it's very to do the upgrade yourself on 09 Macs:

  • Mac Mini / Airplay delay /Magic mouse Range

    I want to consult on something, I hope someone can answer my questions.
    I need to know if next setup will work:
    I have a two store house.
    Home - setup
    second floor - TV with Mac Mini (newest with i5)
    first floor - TV Full HD with Apple TV 1080p
    My goal is to use a mac mini on both TV's and loose my macbook air.
    I want to cover two questions:
    Will Airplay from Mac Mini (using as computer) to my other TV work without delay (or acceptable delay)?
    Will bluetooth Magic mouse & Apple wireless keyboard work on a distance of around 4 meters with a concrete floor in between?
    (I can't test it as I don't have a Mac Mini)
    Thanks!

    Hi, Bluetooth has very limited range & likely ZERO through concrete.

  • Streaming Audio with Mac OSX Airplay

    Hello,
    I am able to utilize my MBP (June 2012) for Airplay with my Apple TV (newest one). However, I can stream images... but no audio... unless I'm streaming directly from iTunes. Is there a cable I need?
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks!

    Actually I was able to get it to work... I just upgraded to 10.8.1... I didn't realize that there was already an update for Mountain Lion!! Thanks As a side note... do you know if there is a way to tell when there is new software available? Apart from continuously checking?

    Your video card doesn't have (at least) two output ports?  What kind of card is it?
    Run System Profiler and select Graphics/Displays on the left.  The right panel should tell you what your card is.
