Mountain lion airplay mirroring on apple tv

has anyone notice that airplay mirroring feature on mountain lion is not plays smoothly.
i have a macbook pro late 2011. and on my macbook that i have two user accounts. the first time i upgrade the OS to mountain lion right away i tried the airplay mirroring. which a lot of mac's user waiting and a lot of user disspointed because their mac didnt support that feature. back to my issue. two user accounts on my mac. the first account played the airplay mirroring doing all right. after that, i switched to my second account on my mac. and turn on the airplay mirroring. theres a prob. im just hear the sound come out from my tv through the apple tv. but i didnt see any pictures on the tv from my macbook screen. or just blue screen showing or broken pictures from my macbook's screen and its frozen. so all i have to do is i have to restart my macbook after restart my macbook. if i want to use the airplay mirroring on my second account on my mac. i better dont turn on the airplay mirroring on first account. if i do so. on my second account wont play the aiplay mirroring. so bottom line, u have to restart ur mac everytime for switching airplay mirroring on ur another user acount on ur mac.
hoping u guys understand and help me to solves the issues. and hopefully, apple read my issue and fixed the bugs or something. thanks...

I have the same issue... strange bug

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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?

  • OS Mountain lion using mirroring on apple tv

    I just updated my mbpro to mountain lion and i was so excited to use the airplaymirroring and it works great. my problem is.. i have two monitors playing, one from my tv and of course my laptop. i cant find the solution on how to make my laptop sleep while i'm watching on tv. is there any one here knows how to? pls help..thank you.

    so i guess there is no other way but to dim..:( in ipad3,  it works fine , the video directs to tv automatically although the lights still on. but in iphone4s they are also both playing, two monitors at the same time. if i put the iphone to sleep they all sleep just like mbp. apple should put an option to turn off 1 monitor. thanks for the reply

  • 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.

  • Ipad 3 with ios6 can not find airplay mirror to Apple TV 3 , but my another ipad2 with ios7 can do it. But ipad 3 with ios6 can airplay mirror to my friend's apple tv

    I have two iPads . One is ipad 3 with ios 6, can not find airplay-Mirror to Apple TV 3 . But it can do it at my friend' s Apple TV.
    My another ipad 2 with ios7 can airplay -mirror at my Apple TV 3 .
    My ipad 3 64GB already full, so I don't delegate something to upgrade  to ios7 .
    I am wondering why it can do it at my friend's Apple TV, not mine

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    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)
    Restart your mobile device.
