Q: No Airplay icon: Macbook Pro 8,2 Apple TV2 4.3, Mountain Lion 10.8.2
What am I doing wrong?
I have the following setup,
Macbook Pro 8,2
Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Apple TV2 4.3 (Airplay on)
Airport Extreme 7.6
Airport Express 7.6.2 (extended network)
which according to all the specs should work fine. All the following work fine,
Macbook pro itunes to the apple tv
Macbook pro itunes to the airport extreme
iphone 4s to the apple tv
iphone 4s to the airport extreme
But the airplay icon in Mountain Lion is missing, in Settings -> Display it says 'Airplay Mirroring: No Devices Detected'
I even tried turning off IPv6 for ethernet, but still nothing.
What am I missing? What am I doing wrong?
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

The icon you are after relates to airplay mirroring.
This is supported for Apple TV with software version 5 or later. 4.3 which you have supports airplay but not airplay mirroring.
update your Apple TV to software v.5
