    Hello there, M763.

     

    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some basic steps for troubleshooting your issue:

     

    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404

     

    Particularly of note:

    Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears

    Your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra will appear.

    Make sure your Apple TV has the current software update installed.

    Make sure you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" checked.

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

     

    Cheers,

    Pedro.
