    I appreciate this post and all the answers.

     

    Seems like Airparrot is the only way to go for older then 2011 macbooks

     

    Thanks for sharing everyone even if it's not what we want to hear.

    I have an older pro and airplay did not work but using AirParrot I can use it.  However, recently I upgraded to iTunes 12 on Yosemite and discovered that airplay seems to be built in (to iTunes at least).  I can stream both music and video (with sound) to my Apple TV.  I still do not have full airplay (for videos on Safari for example).

     

    If it is possible to do this now I do not see how the hardware argument stands up but suspect that Apple did not want to or did not have the time to integrate it for older machines when it first came out.

     

    Are some of the other older machines equally capable now?
