Macbook pro and airplay
Hi
I have a macbook pro 15 (late 2011) and a 3rd generation apple tv.
According to this I should be able to get mirroring from my mac to tv - but I can't, there are no options is display settings for anything to do with airplay. Can anyone help?
Software is up to date on both mac and apple tv.
Mirroring works fine from iphone 5 and ipad.
Normally there ought to be an airplay button in the top menu bar (where also the battery, wifi, clock, etc are located). And in display settings at the bottom there ought to be a drop down menu labelled Airplay Display.
If not, it seems that your Apple TV cannot be found. Are both on the same network? Have you enabled AirPlay in the Apple TV (Settings -> AirPlay set to On)?

Conflict between home sharing from MacBook Pro and airplay from ipad / iPhone?
Just bought an Apple TV, and set it up yesterday. Everything works fine, with one exception. When I have iTunes open and home sharing turned on the Apple TV, when trying to mirror airplay from my ipad 4th gen or my iPhone 5s, I get nothing on the Apple TV, just black screen. It also makes the device run really sluggish.
I've definitely narrowed it down to this conflict, quitting iTunes on the MacBook Pro immediately resolves the issue. So no big deal, right? Just turn off itunes. Except the whole point of buying the Apple TV is to have a central point I can stream all my media in the house from, I'd like to have my MacBook Pro, iMac, ipad and iPhone able to take control of the Apple TV without having to run across the house to turn iTunes on or off on the computers.
This only happens when mirroring, normal airplay audio or video works just fine. MacBook Pro and Apple TV are hard wired Ethernet, ipad on wifi.
Is this a known conflict? Is there any solution?Normally there ought to be an airplay button in the top menu bar (where also the battery, wifi, clock, etc are located). And in display settings at the bottom there ought to be a drop down menu labelled Airplay Display.

Airplay not working on new macbook pro and apple tv2
i have a new macbook pro and new apple tv device and have used them together easily. However, now I can't find the apple tv icon on the top bar and have searched everywhere for it, turning off and on the home sharing, restarting the apple tv. any other hints, or is it just something basic...I am new to apple products...
ThanksDoing the reset resolved this issue for me as well. Not sure why it worked over the restart, but I'll take it.
My issue was that my MBP-R would not connect with AirPlay. I had the icon in the top bar and everything. When I would try to connect it, it would hang for about a minute, then just kick back with nothing happening. -
have a 2013 model macbook pro and apple tv generation 3 . both connected to the same wifi , still no airplay mirroring icon or in my display setting . what els could be the problem
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 Do you see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar? If not, restart the router -
I just verified that i have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and the airplay icon does not appear. i also have a 2013 Macbook Pro which shows the airplay icon. do i need to enable airplay on my early 2011 or is there an update that is needed? Confused.
To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?
I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly! -
i have a late 2011 macbook pro and i don't have the airplay icon on my menu. Everything is on the same network and i have a black mini apple Tv. it is either 2nd or 3rd generation. The airplay icon comes up in itunes it doesn't works with video just music. I want to mirror it on my apple tv. Will you please help me?
That's why, you will need to upgrade to 10.8

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro and a brand new Apple TV, therefore I know I have the software needed, but I cannot get my AirPlay Mirroring icon to pop-up. What do I do?
Is your Mac up to date (10.8.2) ?
Is your Apple TV up to date (5.2) ?

MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S Repeatedly drop WiFi
First off I didn't know what category to put this question in because it really is AirPort, MacBook Pro, and iPhone 4S at once.
So I have a different home network setup than most, I have 2 routers on my network. Now before you start pointing fingers, all other devices work perfectly on it. I have two Netgear WNDR3300s, only one is DHCP, UPnP, NAT, etc... And they have separate channels. My family members' iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPod 4, and iPad Mini, all work perfectly on this network at a blazing 20Mbps (Tested using Ookla's SpeedTest Website and iOS App). My iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro continuously drop the wifi signal at random times and I am no more than 5 feet from the nearest router. Here are the details in a less condensed form...
Network:
Cable Modem Arris TG722
v
Cat 5e Cable
v
Router 1 (DHCP, NAT, UPnP, Channels 6g and 157n) Netgear WNDR3300 DualBand Router
v
Cat 5e Cable (Connected to 1 of the 4 LAN ports on BOTH routers)
v
Router 2 (No DHCP, No NAT, No UPnP, Channels 11g and 149n) Netgear WNDR3300 DualBand Router
v
MacBook Pro
iPhone 4S
MacBook Pro
- Mid 2010
- 13 Inch
- OSX: 10.8.5
- Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- Memory: 8GB 1067MHz DDR3
iPhone 4S
- Bought about 3 months after release
- Condition: Like New
Routers
Netgear WNDR3300
Firmware up to date
Non-interfereing channels
Connected via CAT-5e
DCHP, NAT, UPnP only on one.
Something to note is that I do have AirPlay on my network passing through a first gen AirPort Express and second gen Apple TV on an Ethernet CAT-5e connection. I most often drop wifi when streaming to the AirPort Express, however it also occurs at other times. The devices do drop it randomly however, I was streaming music and it dropped 3 hours in when I did nothing.
I consider myself very tech savvy, of course that is opinionated. At this point I am clueless because of the randomness of the connection refusal and how all other devices are ok.
Not sure if I mentioned it but if I try to recconect to the netowkr after it drops it either says "Timed out" on Mac or "Unable to connect" on iPhone.
I am so confused now... If you have any ideas please let me know!
P.S. The two devices operate much better on my network when it only has one router, but I must have 2 for the range and versatility.
If any more information is needed please let me know.I upgraded to OSX Mavericks and I am still having the same problem on both devices. It is occuring more and more often to the point where I almost broke something .
Something weird to note is that every time it drops, I will try to reconnect. When I do so, it says failiure still, but the new window on Mavericks has the diagnostics button. As soon as I hit that button the wifi jumps right back, working perfectly. (Of course then I will lose it 5 minutes later).
If anyone has any ideas please let me know!!! -
I was previously able to use my AppleTV with airplay and iTunes home sharing to my 2 macbook pros and my iPad. However, it has suddenly stopped connecting to both airplay and home sharing, even though both are turned on and the correct itunes account has been logged into on all devices. We have reset AppleTV but that has not resolved the issue. There is no airplay icon on any of the macbooks or iPad. Has anyone else experienced this and found any solutions? Thanks.
It has always been set up as WiFi and until this weekend it worked well - now won't connect.

hello.
I recently purchased a macbook pro, and is, and learn some things. and I have apple tv, and the question is can I send a movie from macbook and surf the Internet simultaneously without interrupting the movie?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can't do that in AirPlay Mirroring. AirPlay Mirroring can only mirror your MacBook's display, so you can't do one thing in your Mac's display and another in the TV.
This is a feature that will arrive in Mavericks. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview -
HT204291 Cannot connect my MacBook Pro to Airplay.
Trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Airplay. I get the icon and menu for selecting Airplay but it is grayed out and cannot be selected. I have IOS 10.8.2. Anyone experience this?
Remove the security and see if you can connect. It may be the type of security (WPA, WEP, etc.) that your Mac isn't liking.
