Q: Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring (iMac to AppleTV) Not Working

No, you weren't promised it. If you have the hardware that supports it then you have it. You weren't promised Power Nap either. If you have the hardware that supports it then you have it, if not then you don't.

Apple did not market Mountain Lion as a mirroring application in any site anywhere in the world. It was just one item included in the upgraded OS IF you had the hardware that could access and use it. And it was detailed.

I've given you some options you can take. We have heard your complaints. Nothing is going to change. Move on.

Once again you side step the point. I am beginning to think deliberately. I, in Australia on the Australian apple website was not informed that I had to have specific hardware in my imac in order for the for the mirroring feature included in the mountain lion operating system upgrade to work. Niether the ML blurb or the Atv blurb mentioned this.

IS what I am saying wrong? NO ITS NOT.

Address that point and only that point please.

I dont need to know why they utilised a certain feature of a chipset. I am not I.T.

I dont need to know that my engine needs a flywheel in order to work. I am not a mechanic.

All I need to know is am I gonna get what I was told I was gonna get. Be it a working engine or mirroring on my imac. If I might not get what is being offered then i need to be informed under which circumstances this might be the case. This did not happen, At least on Apples Australian webpage.

Fully expecting you to either side step the problem or ignore it all together.

After having got on with a few other things in my very happy life. I thought i might come back and make this point.

If Apple are so honest why did they feel the need to add caveats in small print WHY NOT IN LARGE PRINT where it cant be missed? Because they didnt want people to notice it thats why. And it worked shed loads of people missed it. And thats just the people in the US. what about people who didnt even get it in small print to find in other parts of the world?

This whole small print thing should stay in the realms of the sleezy back street car salesmen where it belongs not with a premium end global company such as Apple.

Small print is where you want to hide stuff and THATS THE TRUTH OF IT.

I tend to agree with that.

And that has been the crux of the argument amongst these 70 pages...   I am in agreement with applesceptic.

I sold my shares in Apple late last year with no regrets.

You guys act like apple invented 'fine print'.

No Apple didnt invent small print. They also didnt invent integrity but they dont seem to keen to use any of that do they.

This is completely outrageous!!!!!  My wife bought me the Apple TV so that we could stream our Alumni football games.  Guess what, there is no ESPN3 app for the Apple TV.  No Problem I say, I will upgrade our iMac to allow Airplay mirrorring.  Guess what Apple Does it again!!!! they do not allow all systems that can run their operating system to perform this function even though everything works on the same wireless network!!

Thanks Apple!!!!

Return the ATV for a refund.

Apple has quite a few sneaky ways of screwing us over and making us think we are getting a good deal. I like the way iTunes periodically wipes out all your MP3 files if they wern't purchased from Apple. What a dirty underhanded deal that is.

Restore your backup.

Exactly how is it Apple's fault that you and your wife don't know how to read system requirements or have the right hardware?

The information is clearly listed, not in small print, in the Techncal Specifications for Mountian Lion on the Apple AU site

You don't need to be IT and you don't need to be a mechanic but I'll bet you don't look at a car and say "I'm going to buy that one.....it's pretty". If all of you whiners are so unhappy go back to Windows.....I heard that Microsoft doesn't use fine print.

Just picking up on this

The UK advertising standards authority approved my complaint against Apple and Apple had to change their add.

Mike. If you had bothered to read all of my posts you will see that I said that shortly after ML releases there was no mention of it. It has later been amended. But if you look at the AU apple tv website you will see there is no mention of imac compatibility, Only that ML is required. To date this has not been amended to read the same as the US site

For your info the last pc's i bought in the last 6 months are on windows. 7 not 8 I hasten to add because 8 is terrible
