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.

Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
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.
my macbook pro is a mid 2012 and this apple tv is brand new only 2 weeks old!!
model no MD199AE/A
i can access my itunes on the apple tv but i cant mirror the macbook to the apple tv the airplay display and the show mirroring options in the menu bar when avalible.
according to the your details i should have this!!
Have you read any of the links that discuss what you need to do? I suggest you do that. You also need to set up your Apple TV and connect it to your TV.
i have read the links above and non of them explain my issue.
the apple tv is connected to the tv.
air play works because i have it installed onto my wifes macbook air 2013. i have disabled it from her mac!
the mac is sinced to the apple tv as i can access my itunes and i can also use the airplay to sream the music to the tv.
But as stated i dont have the option on system preferences/display it doesnt have airplay it only has resolutions and at the bottom show display in menu bar but no airplay.
I suggest you try reinstalling Mavericks, then:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
