Q: How do you enable Airplay on imac12.2?

I have an imac12.2 and latest AppleTV on which I have turned on Airplay. Why do I see Airplay icon in iTunes but not in the mac display in top right corner. I want to be able to view my mac on Apple TV and not only itunes content

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities

     

    The Mac is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, so probably you aren't using Mountain Lion. Open  > About this Mac, and tell me what OS X version you are using.

     

    Open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your data and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

     

    When the download finishes, the OS X Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. After upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion, you will see the AirPlay icon in the menu bar, so choose it and the Apple TV
