Macbook Pro & Airplay mirroring

I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch, Late 2011, Software  Mac OS X 10.7.5, which is supposed to support Airplay. But I do not have any Airplay icon or options in System preferences > Display? Does anyone have the same issue? Any means to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi DGeert
I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch and I have the same problem that you reported. I dont have the AirPlay icon in the top of the screen and I dont have a selection for it in System Preferences - Displays.
Did you have any luck finding a solution.
Thanks

    how do i get my macbook pro to mirror on my apple tv?

    So you're only seeing video via airplay?
    How are you trying to access mirroring on the 4S? You need to double tap home button, swipe (left to right) to bring up airplay, tap on it and select Apple TV, only then will you see the mirroring option

  • Which snow leopard allows 2008 macbook pro to mirror onto your television from mac screen

    which snow leopard allow macbook pro to mirror streaming internet movies onto your tv?

    wirelessly airplay mirroring
    Good point, DLMiller!
    If you want to use airplay mirroring, you need a device attached to your TV set that can at a minimum accept a wireless data stream. Much more easily, if you have an Apple-TV or similar box attached.
    Since the original poster did not mention any such wireless device, I answered the question of what can be attached. The only way to attach (lacking a wireless device) is Analog or Digital Video with a physical cable, probably under 10 feet long. All MacBooks are capable of producing Analog or Digital Video, although some will be more awkward than others.

  • Airplay mirroring on early 2011 macbook pro not mirroring

    First, here's what I have:
    Early 2011 macbook pro (identifier 8,3) with 2.2 Intel Core i7 processor connected over Wifi on 2.4 Ghz channel.
    OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Apple TV 3 (fully up to date)
    The stats I've read say airplay mirroring should work fine.  I can connect both machines just fine. I can stream movies just fine. I can send music just fine.  I just cannot mirror my desktop.  I have the icons, a connection is made, but all that shows is a blank screen. I've adjusted the resolutions with no luck.  I've shut down and rebooted both machines with no luck...
    Any solutions or do I have to count my losses with Apple Airplay and spend more money on a 3rd party alternative (AirParrot)?

    Hi eoinodonnell,
    The problem was resolved, but I have the worst answer... it just started working, and has remained reliable since.  I never found out exactly what fixed it, but I would try these things:
    1) Try a factory reset on the Apple TV, and make sure your Macbook pro has all the latest updates.
    2) Try to repair disk permissions (better to do it from disk utility from boot menu) and reboot your macbook.
    3) Backup your files and do a fresh install of OSX.
    I know I performed all these tasks, and possibly more, but something along the way did fix the problem. 
    I hope something here works!  If so, please let me know what did it.

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro (Early 2011) and a 3rd generation Apple TV. Both are updated and runing in the same network. Hoever, I can manage to enable airplay. I don’t find the mirroring menu and in the display settings I’m not allowed to change to the apple TV. On itunes I see the airplay iconbut nothing happen.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better 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). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

    I have a Macbook (white) mid 2010 running Mavericks OS. Does my device support Airplay? I've just purchased an Apple TV and I cannot find the airplay mirroring option in mi Macbook.

    As clearly stated in the article from which this thread was started, your computer does not meet the requirements for mirroring.

  • MacBook Pro, AirPlay and a Bose Sounddock 10

    Not quite sure I understand this:
    Using an iPhone 4 paired with a Bose Sounddock 10 ( using the Bluetooth Adaptor ) the Sounddock appears in the AirPlay menu from within the iPod app, selecting it streams the music beautifully.
    Paired the Sounddock 10 with my MacBook Pro via Bluetooth. Streaming works directly to the Sounddock from within iTunes absolutely fine.
    BUT what I don't understand is why the Sounddock does not appear under the AirPlay menu as per the iPhone ?
    Can anyone shed any light on this or explain it to me ?
    Thank you.

    The Sounddock does not communicate or receive airplay information via bonjour on your wifi network. This is not supported in any bose products to my knowledge. Bose would (in my opinion will) have to implement the airplay framework to show up without an airplay enabled proxy (macbook (air|pro) | i(phone|pod|pad)).
    Now if airplay takes off like I really hope it does bose will have to implement this functionality to stay relevant, but you have no recourse but to connect to an airplay enabled proxy for the device you already own.

  • Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro Video Mirroring

    Hey all,
    Is there a way while downloading video off of video camera onto a MBP to connect it another MBP so that both screens can be watched at the same time?
    I'm a football coach and on the way home from away games we'll download the video of the game onto one of our MBP, well half the team is looking over our shoulder on a school bus (a little cramped!) and it would be nice if we could use another MBP to mirror what is being downloaded and watched on one MBP so more players could see it.
    Thanks in advance!

    If they both have Mac OS X Leopard, you can use the built in screen sharing.

  • IPad iOS 4.2 and Macbook Pro airplay

    Hi all,
    I currently have installed on my iPad iOS 4.2 beta 2, which includes the ability to stream audio and video to devices such as the airport extreme and Apple TV.
    I have recently purchased the second generation Apple TV and am loving it so far.
    I have two questions:
    1. My iPad at the moment can stream audio to the Apple TV, but not the video as shown in the keynote presentation of the Apple TV, will these abilities become available when the full version of iOS 4.2 comes out or am i doing something wrong?
    2. My computer at the moment won't stream any audio from the videos that it is playing through either the Airport Express or the Apple TV, which i find weird considering that the iPad can do it.
    Will this also be available when the iOS 4.2 comes out? because i would love to be able to listen to the movies that i play through the good speakers instead of just on my macbook.
    Thanks in advance and any help would be much appreciated.
    Julian.

    it is audio only at the moment.
    however you should be aware that as you are using the beta you are under NDA, and should not publicly discuss it.

  • HT1338 AirPlay mirroring 2012 MacBook pro

    Trouble shooting AirPlay mirroring , MacBook pro AirPlay mirroring icon keeps disappearing and disconnection occurs on apple tv , need help ?

    Hi!
    I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
    I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
    So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
    I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

  • Airplay mirroring no longer working for videos played in iTunes

    After the latest software update for iTunes on my Macbook Pro, Airplay mirroring stopped working with my Apple TV from iTunes.  I can still mirror anything on my Macbook display, except it won't mirror any video that I play with iTunes. All of my software is up to date. I've followed all the guidelines of ensuring that everything is connected to the same network, rebooting, etc. Is there a glitch in the latest iTunes software update?

    Here is the compatibility table
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    You may want to also try converting using the Apple TV preset in Handbrake to see if that helps

  • My iPad mini won't connect to my Macbook Pro through AirPLay (Using Reflector to mirror)

    I use the Reflector program on my Macbook to mirror my iPad mini onto my Macbook Pro in order to demo a mobile application
    I am connected to the same wifi on both my Macbook (2014, Yosemite) and iPad mini (2014 iOS8, 16GB, wifi only)
    I select AirPlay, select my Macbook Pro, turn mirroring ON
    It tries to connect (shows blue check mark) and then about 5 seconds later the checkmark disappears, failing to connect
    Sometimes AirPlay option does not even appear
    I've restarted both my computer and iPad mini multiple times
    Any ideas?
