Photos for Mac
Your iMac is likely too old unless it's a 2011 iMac or later. You are talking about the feature called AirPlay, the machines that support AirPlay are:
An Apple TV
- Apple TV (2nd generation or later) with software update v5.0 or later.
- AirPlay turned on in the Settings menu of the Apple TV.
A supported Mac
AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:
- iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
- Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)
Which Mac do I have?
