Check it out... I have had the same airplay issue for over a year; however, it worked on my MacBook so I gave up on fixing it. Until today, several other discussions mentioned Air Display and Air Parrot, which I have never used; however, I forgot that I had tried Duet Display once. When I deleted it, I simply went to my application and moved it to the trash as you do with Apple Certified Apps, I also forgot that Duet Display was not downloaded from the App store it was done from a website.


IF YOU HAVE EVER USED DUET DISPLAY AND HAVE THIS ISSUE DO THE FOLLOWING!!!


THE FIX... Go to Duet Display's website, and reinstall the application. Once installed the D will be next to the airplay button. Click the D then click the option button (GEARS) and final click uninstall DUET. It will tell you that MAC will need to restart, say yes do it now... After restart your Airplay should work just fine. Took me less than 10 mins...
