Q: I can't use the airplay function

My Macbook pro is from end of 2011, so based on the version it should work, but it's not.

Airplay is only working from itunes, but not to mirror the macscreen on TV

Can anybody help me?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

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.

Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
Other solutions are the Air Parrot, StreamToMe, and AirServer.
