I see the AirPlay symbol in the menu bar.

I see the AirPlay symbol in iTunes,Safari and web video.

The symbol list my Apple TV by his name.

Itunes works with Air Play but only with sound. Screen mirroring do not work !

My router has bridged the wired, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless as one logical network.

Uncheck Block all incoming connections is ok

I need more help.

Thank you

AirPlay : connecting impossible

MacBook Pro (Early 2011) is the first MacBook Pro to support both ‘basic’ AirPlay and AirPlay Screen Mirroring. So you are good on that front.


To narrow this down:

Do you see the AirPlay symbol in the menu bar? For Screen Mirroring icon in the menu bar, there is a toggle checkbox in System Preferences﹥Displays.

Do you see the AirPlay symbol in iTunes, QuickTime Player 10, or Safari web video? Do any of those work for AirPlay?

If you see the symbol, does it list your Apple TV by its name (click-and-hold)?


The software firewall on the Mac may be blocking all incoming connections, including LAN communication with Apple TV. System Preferences﹥Security & Privacy﹥Firewall﹥Firewall Options﹥uncheck Block all incoming connections.


Make sure your router has bridged the wired, 2.4 GHz wireless and 5 GHz wireless as one logical network. E.g. if 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz use different SSIDs, then the devices on those can’t talk to each other across that barrier.
