I bought my iMac in mid 2011 (and I see now its a mid 2010 iMac), and I dont get AirPlay? For the first time, I actually want my money back from Apple... :-/
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion, AirPlay
Unfortunately no.

You might take a look at:
I have not used this and cannot say how well it works. There are mixed reports.
You can contact Apple and ask for a refund. They may or may not give it to you.
This is a huge marketing mistake, since only the newest iMac´s are getting this feature.
David, I will for sure contact Apple support tomorrow morning.
Alley_Cat: Have you seen anyone confirm if this app includes audio when mirroring?
Are you talking about AirPlay or Mirroring? AirPlay should work fine, mirroring to an AppleTV is another story...
Is Airparrot approved by Apple?
It is called AirPlay mirroring. One in the same.
This is AirPlay. Not one in the same as AirPlay Mirrorirng.

No.
At least not as far as I know.
You'll find similar things for audio like RogueAmoeba's Airfoil.

I am talking about mirroring... and since AirPlay via iTunes on my mac to my AppleTV has worked so well I just belived that my iMac would also be able to handle mirroring.
The previous version Mac minis, current version Mac minis, previous version MacBook Pros, current version MacBook Pros, previous version MacBook Airs and current version MacBook Airs are all supported. So, it's no "only the newest iMacs". It's possible that in the future Apple could release an update for Mountain Lion that adds support for some older model Macs. But we'll have to wait and see.

I have now tried AirParrot and the mirroring works fine, but I can not test if the audio works when using the trial (it just asks my to install some driver again and again)... and I am not buying that app if the audio does not work.
Apple, please find a fix for us with "old" iMacs. I am not buying a new iMac just for this feature 😝
Mountain Lion: Airplay was the only feature i wanted!!!
