Mountain lion mirroring

I am very disappointed that mirroring is not supported on my macs. The fact that apple did not make this clear is only surpassed by the poor support who described my Mac as "old" and the request that I visit a feedback site to express my concerns. This whole experience was very poor, almost Microsoft like.
Please change your policies and procedures to avoid this blatant under delivery. You have taught us to expect your products to be brilliant, please live up to the expectations you set.

You're incorrect. The specs for 10.8 and its individual features were posted on Apple's website right after the WWDC in early June.

The mbp is less than two years old
You may have purchased it less than two years ago, but the model in your profile was introduced in early April, 2010. The 13" MBP has been updated three times since then, the OS, twice. This is why AppleCare described your MBP model as "old," which it is.
Old is old and new is new, and ne'er the twain shall meet, if you get my drift.

  • Mountain Lion mirroring feature.

    When Apple Maps was proven to be faulty and Tim Cook apologizes to the users and added to be better as users will provide FEEDBACK. Do you think Apple reads these feedbacks? There are thousand users asking from Apple about Mountain Lion mirroring features not available for mid 2010 iMac. Until now Apple is quite about it. Apple does not need your feedback, it needs your money.

    Although i have tried airaParrot, nothing beats the functionalities that come with mirroring and airplaying through an apple based software like the one made available through the ipod touch and ipad. I hope apple develops an app for 2010 macbook pro users.

  • Mountain Lion mirroring - screen resolution problems

    I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion and am no longer able to set the screen resolutions on the iMac monitor and my Sony LCD 46" to mirror properly. Previously it worked very well by selecting the highest resolution for both the iMac and the TV - but now selecting those resolution settings no longer mirror properly.  I've also tried other resolution combinations with limited success.  When the iMac looks good - the mirrored TV monitor does not or vice versa. 
    Any suggestions or directions/instructions would be appreciated.
    Thanks..

    You should have checked it before upgrading to Mountain Lion. Apple says that AirPlay Mirroring requires some hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd generation Intel Core processor, making all the 2010 and early Macs unsupported, but we don't know why AirParrot can stream on all the computers

  • Apple tv and Mountain Lion Mirror problems

    Hi so I upgraded to Mountain Lion the day it came out on my macbook pro and so far im really happy with it. But I am all of the sudden having problems mirroring it on my apple tv. I worked fine up until about a week ago and now it doesnt seem to want to work. When I click on the mirror icon nothing happens, I just turns blue around it for about 15 secs and then nothing. I have tried everything and im lost. HELP!

    Do a reset of apple tv and try again,in case it still is having issue check if you have latest updates on Apple tv as well as for mountain lion.

  • Multiple displays  Mountain Lion  mirror

    Is it possible to use the Mirror function of MountainLion to create a second display? 

    Hah!  Yep, that's where I'm at.  I was hoping the new OS might let me set up a second, wireless display.  No Can Do.... yet, huh?
    Thanks, CaptFred

  • Why is it not possible to use airplay mirroring on earlier macbook pro models with Mountain Lion?

    I know there are questions alike mine, but if anybody knows some new information on this, please let us know.
    I've been looking forward to this release of the OSX, especially the built in AirPlay mirroring function for the Mac Pro, which I've been missing ever since I bought the Apple TV.
    Now finally when I went to download Mountain Lion, I accidentally search google, and find out that AirPlay mirroring is only supported on early 2011 Mac Pro and later?
    What are the earlier users going to do? I have an early 2009 model of the Mac Pro, and I just wan't to know if I'll be able to utilize the new AirPlay mirroring function or not, which determines whether or not I'm going to upgrade my OSX version
    Hope someone's got news on this one.
    Best regards, Thomas

  • I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

  • Airplay mirror imaging icon will not show up on my macbook pro even though i downloaded mountain lion. How do i get airplay icon to appear on my macbook pro?

    i have a macbook pro (almost positive that its a 2010 version) and i got mountain lion. The BIGGEST AND MAIN REASON i bought mountain lion was so that i can do airplay, allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my Apple TV. my whole computer is updated as far as the displays and newer features but the small airplay icon will not show up on the top of my screen. therefore, not allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my tv... it is connected to the same wifi as my apple tv. idk what to do. could it be because my macbook pro is a 2010? desprately looking for help...please help me with this issue
    thank you

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your MacBook Pro isn't supported.
    To mirror your MacBook Pro's display onto the Apple TV, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot even if AirPlay Mirroring isn't compatible

  • 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.

    Not natively. That requires the newer processor. You will have to use Airparrot

  • How do I mirror my 24"iMac 2.8GHz Intel core 2 duo to my Apple TV? I am running Mountain Lion and My iMac is an early 2008 model. Thanks

    I purchased Apple TV yesterday strictly to mirror my desktop to my TV. Now I find out my desktop is not supported? How can I mirror my iMac to my Apple TV? I am running Mountain Lion and the iMac is a 2.8 GHz with intel core 2 duo from early 2008.
    Thanks for your help!

    You cannot officially do this Apple's way as they do not support your computer for Airplay.
    There is a software solution called Airparrot that you may want to demo:

    Some people are pleased with it othes not so much.

    Back again to mini display to hdmi cable.
    could you help me????

    It is stated that mirroring requires recent hardware (2011 or later)

    However you can still use 3rd party solutions like Airparrot which do it via software

  • I just upgraded to mountain lion. I am unable to use airplay mirroring through my apple tv. They are both on the same network. It says a airplay icon should appear in the menu bar but it isn't there. What am I missing here?

  • Airplay mirroring not working on mountain lion

    Hi,
    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro and one of the main reasons for purchasing Mountain Lion was the ability to use mirroring.  Sadly this feature does not seem to be working a part from in itunes. I have now studied the Tech Specs and now see my model is not supported. This should have been made much clearer when purchasing the upgrade.  Very very disappointing Apple.  Just starting to lose patience and up until now have been an advocate of Apple. I will think twice before recommending again.
    Of course if there is a solution my faith would be fully restored.

    The only reason i bought mountain lion was for the mirroring too. I have the same issue. Honestly I am so disapointed with Apple. If we were simply informed more clearly that this won't work I may still have purchased the product and at least wouldnt have been so disapointed. Coupled with the wait for Facebook integration this has been real shame.
    My advice to anyone thinking of updating or even purchasing an apple product. Don't expect Apple to consider you unless you have a new product.
    Apple really are becoming a bunch of money grabbers.

    Its right there...
    From:http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html
