Mountain Lion successfully installed on my iMac.
AppleTV sucessfully networked with my iMac (at least where iTunes and iPhoto are concerned.)
But AirPlay icon is NOT appearing in my menu bar. Any clues as to why this is?
In System Preferences, I've checked "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" but still nothing.
Below is a screenshot of my menu bar. Thanks in advance!
Never mind. Just realized my iMac is too old. Late 2009.
AirPlay will only work for mid 2011. 😟
Like everyone else I also feel cheated. I was confortable with snow leopard but upgraded to ML only to use Airplay mirroring. I was about to buy apple tv just for this! IT DOESN'T MENTION ANYWHERE THAT OLD MACS WOULD HAVE AIRPLAY LIMITATION!!!
Install Airparrot. Its cheaper than ML and does what you guys are looking for. You can even try it before you buy it.
I also believe that some one smarter than me will figure out what flag enables airplay. Give it a few days... same story with airprint.
APPLE! FIX IT!
I feel so incredibly let down by apple over this. Apple, I *WILL NOT* be buying one of your new laptops (as lovely as they are) because you are so interested in raiding my wallet you can't offer support for my mid 2010 MBP.
I know there will be an anouncement (in response to the mounting fury) over why you can't offer air play support apart from with brand new computers. If air parrot have been doing this for ages, it will just prove you to be liars.
I really feel like you have no respect at all for the people who buy your products.😟
Been using http://airparrot.com/ to mirror my 4 year old Mac on my Apple TV for the past 6 months.
It works very well.
It's another $9.99, but since Mountain Lion doesn't support older Mac's - this app does the job very well.
add me to the list, the only really desirable feature in ML, I never considered that certain features wouldn't work. feel misled.
Say it ain't so Apple.... you have really lot a lot of your loyal people down! I hope the news and tech medias pick up on this.
Apple took a dump on this one. ********.
Its amazing how many people have been urged to write their first message here over this
Apple, you have mislead and upset a huge amount of your loyal customers
As anyone of you thought about doing the research first before making a purchase? This is suppose to be a support forum, not a complaint department.
The single feature I was anxious to try !!! Mac Pro arent even on the list 😟
Can't Airplay to my Apple TV 2 with a :
MacBookPro 17" mid 2010
2,53 GhZ Intel Core i5
4GB 1067 mhz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics
Just sitting here amazed!
Found this thread when trying to find info on where to "click" to get this up and running.....
Unfortunetaly NO SUPPORT for an "old mac" ???? Whaaaaat ??!?!!!!?!??!?!?!?!!?
Refund !
Yeah this is stupid.
Downloaded the trial for AirParrot, its a little choppy when trying to play a video, does the full version help the quality?
I purchased my Apple TV from an Apple store. They ASSURED me that even though my Mac was 2008, that it could support Mountain Lion and therefore I would be able to us Airplay. Repeat, THEY ASSURED ME IT WOULD WORK! I would have never purchased Apple TV or Mountain Lion otherwise. This is total BS and I am super ******. I already had bought Roku for streaming netflix etc. I ONLY bought Apple TV since I was told I would be able to mirror with Airplay as soon as I upgraded to Mountain Lion. What a crock.... I want my money back for the Mountain Lion upgrade and my Apple TV too.
Every one that has an apple tv and an older mac feels cheated off course. I have an iphone, ipad, ipod, macbook pro, imac, apple tv .. and apple wants me to spend even more to get airplay mirroring enabled on my 2000 euro devises? What a f******g joke!
