did anybody use recently screen mirroring from iPhone (iOS16.5) to iMac Ventura 13.4 successfully?
My issue: no Airplay Receiver menu option under System Settings/General/Airdrop & Hand-off
FYI, my chat case id 102020835667 closed now awaiting Phone call later today. It was very friendly but unsuccessful!
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 13.4
I don't know how you had this before. Your mac was never on the list of supported macs for Airplay Receiver - which was introduced back with Monterey:
There are third party applications that can provide similar functionality. I used to use AirServer quite a lot, and it worked very well.

FWIW, it's not a software issue. A 2017 iMac has no T2 chip and therefor cannot, and never could act as an AirPlay receiver. Downgrading macOS won't change anything.
Luis is correct. A 2017 iMac could never act as an AirPlay Receiver, nor would it be listed as an option.
Everybody,... had a call with Apple support (nice guy Jesse),... result Apples screwed me,...after last OS update (stupid me had keep my Mac up to date on) the previously available "Airplay receiver" menu option was removed from my device,... apparent reason is that this is not an iMac Pro just an iMac (2017),...
Naturally there was no warning or information,... in some jurisdictions this business practice would be punishable but,... Apple get away with it,...
Spread the word community!
Or maybe better point me to a 3rd party patch to get the functionality back,...
Is it possible that this mac may have had some third party software like AirServer (or other with similar functionality) installed at some point? It may still have it… but since AirServer is an application, you actually have to have it running.

+1 Just installed AirServer on my 2015 iMac. Worked like a charm with my iPhone SE (3rd Generation). Now I've deleted it. 😎
FWIW, you might be able to mirror your iPhone to your iMac using Duet Display. You would have to contact them and ask… https://www.duetdisplay.com/
You guys are probably correct,… my beef w apple is as follows:,…
I took over the imac from a colleague and it had airplay receiver,… I switched to keep my Mac up to date and,… it got installed Ventura automatically …without any warning,….
can I go somehow back without loosing data and re-installing other apps?
thank you
You seem to know a lot about Mac,... me less,... but what i know is that airplay receiver was an option and when puting cable from mac to iphone it did mirror the screen of the phone on the imac,...
do you suggest that it happened without airplay receiver,... and i should give up?
