Q: Airplay on macbook pro 17" NOT WORKING!

Howdy all --

 

I've searched around on this and other forums for a solution to this problem, to no avail.

 

First, the specs:

 

  • Apple TV is running Apple TV Software 6.0.1 (6646.80.1) and in direct line of sight to Macbook Pro
  • Macbook Pro 17” is mid 2010 2.53 GHz Intel Core I5 with 8 GB RAM running Mavericks 10.9
  • Both are connected (strongly) to the same 802.11n wireless network

 

What I'm doing:

 

  • I turn on the Apple TV and go to settings —> Airplay —> turned ON
  • I go to my Macbook preferences, choose Displays and get the following screen — nowhere does Airplay appear in this menu!

What am I missing? It seems like my hardware and software are both too current for me not to have Airplay mirroring/desktop extension capabilities.

 

PLEASE HELP!

MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
