    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

     

    Your computer isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring because it requires an Early 2011 or later MacBook Pro. Instead, you can use AirParrot to stream your MacBook Pro onto the Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com

     

    It does the same, but it's not built-in and it's compatible with all Macs with OS X 10.6 or newer
