Q: Airplay mirroring broke in 10.9.2

i just updated to 10.9.2 and now when i try and airplay mirror to my Apple TV, it sends the audio but just shows a black screen and i can't drag anything to it. It doesn't show any of the options for external displays in the displays section of System Preferences.

 

 

Any ideas? i tried reapplying the combo update with no luck

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

A:

I have a solution for all you suffering from this problem to try. There is an Airparrot file, at least I think it is an Airparrot file as it is referred on the Airparrot site, that is called:

APExtFramebuffer

and it resides at: System/Library/Extensions

 

I have just moved this file to trash rebooted and I have got back Mirroring in Airplay.

 

I had previously installed Airparrot on a system I migrated to my 27 inch late 2013 iMac running Mavericks 10.9.2 and although I thought I had deleted Airparrot fully prior to the migration clearly I had not.

 

Good Luck!

    Corrections since my last post*

     

    Lets start a list for display streaming apps that prevent airplay from working properly. Their kexts must be removed for airplay to work.

     

    So far we have:

     

    • Air Display
    • Air Parrot
    • Splashtop Streamer
    • DisplayPad
    • Screen recycler
    • *Mini Display by Edovia (removing EdoviaVirtualDisplay.kext fixed it for me)

     

    If you discover a new one, please copy/paste this message along with your addition. Thanks.

    I was having this same issue but never installed ParrotDisplay.  However, I did have duet installed, a similar third-party app.  After I uninstalled duet and restarted my iMac, the issue was resolved.  I believe that this issue is caused by any third-party screen sharing app.
