Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring (iMac to AppleTV) Not Working

Also NOT happy. This needs to be corrected ASAP!!. Apple also need to tell its customers that they will correct this issue and WHEN it will be corrected.

How long till the hand in the sky shuts this forum down? ********

Add me to the list to vocalize my disapointment.

Come on Apple, Fix this!

I feel so cheated by Apple. I have always been so happy with their products and this is the first time I have been disappointed. I feel like they lied to me. I bought an Apple TV just for the mirroring option. Apple needs to do something about this.

So unbelievably dissapointed. The feature I was most looking forward to. I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro that is still amazing, an tv 3rd gen, and upgraded to Mountain Lion today. What a waste. I feel totally cheated. Make it right apple or you have for the first time in my apple following - shamed yourself.

Downloaded ML, raced home to try out the AirPlay, and then became sad...

AirParrot is about to make a killing off of ML.

Not Happy Apple . Was so excited about this feature and like most people here am disappointed my Early 2009 IMAC is not supported.

Please FIX !!!

😟

Right... we're all upset with the lack of this functionality, not with wasting $20 this morning! We need to keep the OS up to date anyway, and we could care less if 10.8 is called Cougar, Puma, or Mountain Lion. The problem with Apple is that it is NOT morral to separate their customers in two categories. If my computer is good enough to install the new OS, I should be able to use ALL of its features, not SOME of them only... And the fact that other third-party companies can actually provide this feature on my MacBook Pro, shows that this "limitation" is even more an Apple issue of disconsideration and disrespect for its custumers (unheard of when Jobs was in charge), and not a matter of technical limitations, as their tech people falsly suggest... Anyway, again, my problem with mirroring is NOT about losing $20. Apple can keep my $20 and I'll keep the rest of the features. 😟

For those of you looking for an AirPlay option for older Mac, there is a better app than Airparrot, try Beamer. It will stream video with sound through Apple Tv. It will play a number of movie files without converting. It goes for $15 and you can try it for free, beamer-app.com.

I am totally bummed. They could have at least made it clear. I bought an Appletv especially for this.

Really dissapointed.

Airparrot works well for me during a 20 min trail, and supports 3rd gen AppleTV 1080P. $10 at http://airparrot.com

Contacted support and getting refunded!

I was misleaded, so unclear we need to have mid 2011 MBP and such. My life with Apple had been great until now.

Sad but true:

I'm a user/fan of Apple since 1992 and sadly this is the first time I feel really disappointed.

Over the years the company had it's ups and downs, but honestly it appears Apple didn’t care about the most loyal users. I’m happy with the new approach to a new devices era (iPod, iPhone and iPad), but what about us, the pro users?

Now, we are not important anymore? You can easily see the sales figures and quickly found out that desktop sales are not growing:

“Apple reports Q3 2012 results: $35B in revenue, $8.8B profit, 26M iPhones, 17M iPads, 4M Macs” (just 1M desktop Macs including iMac, Mac Mini and Mac Pro)

What about a new revolutionary iMac? We have the same model with minor improvements over 4 years!! And a quad core i5 iMac can’t do Airplay mirroring?

Change the OS and left out many users, this is certainly not Apple like.

I hope this kind of marketing mistakes stops, certainly Steve Jobs would not allow such things.
