AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better 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). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
thank you Winston for a prompt reply. I expected the request was sent directly to the Support Team, good to you you asked to remove my email address.
I checked, I have 10.6.8 Mac OS X, so there is any other possibilty to share computer desktop with TV if it is older generation MacBook Pro?
kind regards, J.
Not without updating it to 10.8 or better, even then I suspect it may be a pre-2011 model if it's currently running Snow Leopard.
Hi, as attached below, these are my software specifications:
System Software Overview:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Kernel Version: Darwin 10.8.0
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Boot Mode: Normal
Computer Name: Justyna Tomaszewska’s MacBook Pro
User Name: Justyna Tomaszewska (justynatomaszewska)
Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled
64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No

Where I can find the higher version (10.8 at least) for udating as you mentioned above? It doesn't upgrade by using "check for apdates" buttom.
kindest regards, J
You can update at the Mac App Store.
If you are told your Mac is not compatible with Mavericks, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
But you also need to check when your Mac was produced.
