Jul 26, 2012 8:18 PMby babbdawg,Like the rest of you I upgraded just for the Airplay feature. Since Airplay worked so well with my iPad, I never imagined that the ML version wouldn't work on my older iMac. Fortuneatly I was able to get a refund through the App Store.
If you want to try a great app for streaming video from a variety of formats try Airflick. I've found it works better thatn Airparrot and Beamer. I had too many sound/synce problems with Airparrot and Beamer had to constantly buffer.

And I am also trying to find a way to make mirroring work, but even if it doesn't, I don't want a refund. I want a hack to make it work LOL

One thing I did find strange is that when I first completed the install I had the mirroring icon in the menu bar. I left my mid 2010 MBP backing up overnight then yesterday morning the icon was gone.
When I switched on my ATV last night the icon appeared briefly then dissapeared again. Very odd as it's not supposed to be able to support it....

This issue of no Airplay support for some slightly older systems (my Mid 2010 MPB 2.66 i7 included) is absolute ********. If enough people start a ruckus we should get some sort of reaction.
