Can 2009 MacBooks run airplay with mavericks upgrade? not a macbook pro

is there somewhere an answer to my question of, will it work on mpb i7, if that is the processor needed?

Thanks so much Apple Support Community people!

This AirParrot application, only 10 USD is very easy to use, and it worked flawlessly for my mid 2010 MBP to do 'AirPlay'-like mirroring. I did not try sound.

Also, of note, I did use it on the trial period to make sure it worked, and then plunked down the money!

Best of luck to those who have run into this problem, and here is a worthwhile solution.

what if it is a computer that you designed, and is running apple software. If you change the prosseser, would tha work?

Two things I find really irritating:

1. The infomation on the Apple TV package and the sales info on the Apple website does not clearly state that you can't use an older Mac to communicate with the Apple TV.

2. Why, if there is a third party app that apparently works, doesn't Apple include it with the Apple TV package?

I feel like Apple is misleading their customers.

Here's a link for an explination: http://www.cultofmac.com/178460/the-real-reason-why-macs-before-2011-cant-use-ai rplay-mirroring-in-mountain-lion-feature/

When third party apps can do things Apple wont support on older models is because it would be really hard to support all those computers that are backdated to 2009 or earlier. It is a newer techonolgy, but what i would say is that third party apps because OS does run on unix they can tap into the OS and enable features that normally dont work. It wont be perfect but it will still work.
