I have the same issue... strange bug

OS X Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring

AirPlay Mirroring is advertised to work on ANY early 2011 or later MacBook Pro. I bought my MacBook Pro on 2-22-2011 yet I am unable to get AirPlay Mirroring working. I made sure that my MacBook Pro SHOULD be able to use AirPlay Mirroring BEFORE I bought Mountain Lion, and to be honest, I feel I was ripped off, because, as far as I can tell my MacBook Pro is perfectly capable of using AirPlay Mirroring however I am not able to.

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, 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).

If your mac is eligible it'll be in settings-display toward the bottom an airplay menu will allow you to select your apple tv.

Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work on newest MBP

Hello,
I have a 15" MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with OS X Mountain Lion installed. When Apple TV is available, there is an AirPlay icon in the menu bar. When I enable AirPlay Mirroring, my Apple TV turns into black but sound is streaming. No image at all. I tried different screen resolutions but none of them works, my TV supports 1080p and my Apple TV is 3rd generation with newest software (5.0.2). When the AirPlay Mirroring is enabled, there is a high upload speed so I believe the image is actually streaming. And there is no update for my Mac system. When I use iTunes to play a video, then that video can show up on the Apple TV, but besides that, mirroring doesn't work. My Apple TV has no issue when working with iPhone and iPad AirPlay. Do you have any ideas about this? Thank you so much!

Hey,
I have the exact same problem. Read at least a dozen forums, and wasted 3 hours solving it.
Finally, a simple 'restart' solved my problem....
Hope it will for you.

Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring (iMac to AppleTV) Not Working

Mountain Lion successfully installed on my iMac.
AppleTV sucessfully networked with my iMac (at least where iTunes and iPhoto are concerned.)
But AirPlay icon is NOT appearing in my menu bar. Any clues as to why this is?
In System Preferences, I've checked "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" but still nothing.
Below is a screenshot of my menu bar. Thanks in advance!

I agree, what is the point of making an operating system compatible with a particular computer and then arbitrarily disabling the most meaningful features. It seems like Apple is once again forcing us to wastefully update equipment through less than honest means. Any update they have should have a clear list of what will not be relevant to you with te equipment you are using. I would not have purchased Mountail Lion if I had been aware that AirPlay would not work. And before someone tells me that I just needed to check to look and it was clear. I went so far as to make sure my graphics card was compatible. Which is really the only thing I can see being a reasonable excuse for disabling a feature such as this.

Mountain Lion, AirPlay Mirroring, and multiple monitors - how to choose display?

I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.1 with two external monitors connected via Thunderbolt. I have a 3rd-gen Apple TV on the same network. I can turn on AirPlay Mirroring and my primary monitor will display on my TV. However, I would like another monitor mirrored instead. I have looked but can't seem to find a setting to choose which monitor is mirrored.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

You can remove the Logmein sound driver.
You will no longer be able to hear your Mac from your remote machine.
Start Terminal and paste:
sudo kextunload /system/library/extensions/logmeinsounddriver64.kext
I did this long time ago because I was having sound problems on Lion.

Mountain Lion Airplay Mirroring keeps trying to mirror

I've been having a problem since upgrading to 10.8 on my Macbook Pro (early 2012). When I bring up a website that has sound, or open an .wav email attachment for preview, the Airplay system is activated, and it asks me for a password to one of our AppleTV's. If I cancel the dialog, or if I enter a password, it doesn't matter, Airplay has already been selected as the sound out device, and I can't hear the sound. The only way around it, is to open display preferences and turn airplay mirroring off. Then the sound is restored to my speakers. But, the next time I open a sound, or a website, I'm back at square one. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there some way to stop this?

If I buy Mountain Lion now, will Apple refund me later since my redemption code failed?

This is not our problem. It is Apple's problem and why do we need to wait extra time for new codes? We have been waiting long enough. They should just let us buy the new OS and refund us later after verifying our codes.

Yes, you can resume or entirely restart your download later by going to the "Purchased" tab in the App store application.

Mountain Lion Airplay Mirroring Sound Issue

I'm having an issue with airplaying online videos. Everything works fine at first, but then the sound will start to get really choppy to the point where I can't hear it anymore. This is with running the sound through the tv. When I pause the video and then press play again it starts to work fine, then after 2-3 min it will start getting choppy again. Same sort of thing happens when listening to sites like pandora etc.
Once the sound starts to get choppy it seems like adjusting the volume exacerbates the issue.
Was super stoked about airplay feature, but this is really annoying. Any suggestions on fixes?

Having the same issue here. Airport Extreme, current gen AppleTV, 2.3Ghz i7 Macbook Pro.

Even if it will run Mountain Lion it will not support Airplay Mirroing as it will not have the required hardware support.
You can try AirParrot which attempts to do the same in software.

Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does...

Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does... What's going wrong here?
Details: OS X Yosemite 10.10
Apple TV 3rd generation, version 7.0
Switching Airplay on on Mac Mini works. It goes automatically on extended display mode. Switching to mirroring works for about 1 sec and then it switches back to extended display mode. On my tv screen i see my second desktop. Funny detail: it has the desktop background i used previously. Another funny detail: I had exactly the same problem when i used the previous versions of OS X and the Apple TV software...
Who can help, please!

I also have been having problems with Airplay on my 2014 Mac Mini see Mac Mini 2014 Airplay Display Disconnect Bug?
I"ve also noticed that my Apple TV (3rd Gen) does not appear in the iTunes Airplay list on my Mac Mini whereas it does on my MacBook.
I've booked a call with Apple Support for next Sunday to discuss the issue.
If I get any useful info I will pass it on.

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

Since installing Mountain Lion OSX my Apple TV second generation cannot access the library on my iMac - any suggestions?

I recently installed Montain Lion on my 2009 iMac. Now when I try to access my iTunes library through my second generation Apple TV I receive the following message: "Could not connect to ...Library".
I have done the following to resolve the problem with no improvement:
(1) verified that my software is up to date on both the Apple TV and iMac (iTunes).
(2) Verified that home sharing for my entire iTunes Library is turned on in my iTunes preferences.
(3) Verified that the network is working - I only have one network, the signal strength shown on the Apple TV is 5 bars, and the Apple TV an access other internet programming (Vimeo, YourTube, etc.).
(4) Restarted both my Apple TV and my iMac.
Prior to my Mountain Lion upgrade the Apple TV worked fine and communicated with my iMac without a problem. I'm out of ideas and would appreciate any suggestions from the community. Thanks

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I am having a similar issue on my iMac 27" (2011).
Once the computer goes to sleep, Apple TV is unable to wake it up (I do have the "Wake for network access" Energy Saver option turned on).
I have to specifically login and "wake up" the computer before my Apple TV can see it.
Overall, I find Mount Lion to be much more stable and smoother compared to Lion - but this issue is very annoying
