About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
Another solution is the Air Parrot.
i bought the apple tv yesterday so its brand new. I was alson told it should work with OS x Lion, which i also have .... surely it should work?
Be sure you read the other hardware requirements. It only works on certain 2011 models.
Installed new AppleTV today, 4/5/2013. connected via CAT 6 cable. Apple TV sees IMAC shared files and iTunes, however IMAC, Mid 2011, Intel i7, OS X 10.7.5 DOES NOT find Apple TV in order to mirror.
Is mirroring hardware dependendent? Firmware dependent? or OS dependent?
Thanks
