Q: Macbook Air Detects Apple tv for audio, but not Video
-

All I see is:
AirPlay: OFF (this one light gray, showing that you cant change it)
________________
Open Display Preferences... (this one highlighted, and then when I click I go to the pref pane, where I find Airplay OFF, and again no option to change )
However, as I said, when I go to sounds on pref pane, I can find the airplay option, the apple tv and it works.
Sound is airplayed.

Jun 12, 2016 3:26 PMby RenatoMarques,I really appreciate you r help.
But I've been through all this....
My firewall is turned off as default.
As I said, I can connect to the appletv to send audio.
It is just the video that cant be airplayed.
However bizarre it may seems, it is happening.
I even downloaded airparrot, and it works nicely on this app.
But I really want to use the native apple solution!!

Jun 12, 2016 3:37 PMby sberman,Thanks for posting the screen shots. They are helpful.
If it were my machine, I would immediately suspect AirParrot as getting in AirPlay Mirroring's way. Check this article:

It does not explicitly say AirParrot conflicts with AirPlay Mirroring, but I would certainly suspect it does!

The above comes from AirParrot's site:

It's quite a coincidence you have sound but no picture. And think about how old this AirParrot product is. Also consider it is not available in the Mac's App Store.
