Mirror my MAC OS X on apple TV

how can I mirror my MAC OS X on apple TV if I don’t have Airplay option?

You are running Lion which is too old.
Onpy recent Macs with Mountain Lion and Mavericks can Airplay:
You need:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)

  • HT4199 i can t mirror my mac book air via apple tv.

    i bought apple tv 3rd generation and have a mac book air from mid 2012. i have problems mirroring my mac to aplle tv. there is now morroring icon.
    how can i set that up ?

    First, uninstall Clean My Mac. Third party so called Mac cleaning utilities can do far more harm than good. Your Mac runs maintenance for you in the background.

    Restart your Mac after you have uninstalled Clean My Mac.
    Hopefully you have a backup of your Bookmarks so then can be reimported back into Safari ..

    I need to know how to mirror my macbook pro with my apple tv so I can watch youtube and use my browser on my tv. So what I can see on my computer I want to see on tv. Is there a program I need or should it do it by it's self?

    If you have Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.*), then just select AirPlay from the menu along the top of your desktop, and your computer screen should appear on a tv attached to your Apple TV.

  • Why is there lag when I mirror my mac book pro with apple tv

    I bought Apple TV in November 2014 and have been using it with my iphone 6 and my ipad without any problems. I bought a new macbook pro (my old one was  a mid 2010 model so did not have airplay) yesterday and tried mirroring as I was with my iphone and ipad. Every time I tied I experienced a couple of seconds lag, this there anyway to fix this? I currently can't use my apple tv with my laptop as it just doesn't work!

    Hi jmcivor89,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re running into performance issues when using AirPlay Mirroring with your new MacBook Pro. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting tips that may be able to help you resolve the issue.
    Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Resolve performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
    Try these suggestions:
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    If you are using iTunes, please see these troubleshooting guidelines.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • How can I mirror my Mac Book Pro to my TV using Apple TV 3

    Is it possible to mirror my Mac Book Pro running Lion to my HD TV which is connected to Apple TV 3?

    No, you cannot do this with Lion OS X.
    Reportedly the mirroring feature has been demo-ed with the next operating system Mountain Lion, however as yet we do not know if there will be any hardware restrictions to this feature.

    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring::

    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Late 2013)

  • Apple TV has no sound when mirroring from Mac mini,sound works when mirroring from iPad and iPhone

    When I mirror from Mac mini to Apple TV there's no audio from Apple TV to my av amp,it works fine from iPhone and iPad,is there something I need to do in the airplay settings?

    Here's what finally solved my issue:

    From this Apple Community User:
    https://discussions.apple.com/people/Winston%20Churchill
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)
    Apparently there is an issue if you push the Apple Remote before you set your computer to mirror.  Whatever I did, it had locked it in that state.  Once I stopped mirroring, then went onto the TV screen and restarted the Apple TV (#1 above) it then allowed me to choose mirroring on my Mac and the audio automatically switched from the computer to the TV (making the computer now mute), BTW the volume needs to be maxed on the computer as that will transmit to the TV if your volume is low on the computer.  Then you can raise or lower it the way you want on your TV.
    Yay!
    Hope this helps others.....
