    Be on same network, apple id with homesharing on for ATV and Mac or iOS.  Always try a reboot of router and ATV with all cables out for 30 Seconds too.  Mirror icon should appear near clock IF you have a mid 2011 mac or newer (early 2011 for MBP) AND are running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion or newer.

     

    Oler mac or OS can 'mirror' with a third party app called airparrot.
