    Is it just me, or are you responding to a question about a Macbook Pro not being able to access Airplay with a wiki article about anything but a Macbook Pro being able to access airplay?

     

    I am also having this issue with a recently bought apple tv.  I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) on Yosemite and I do not see the Airplay icon to mirror my display.  I can share my audio without issue and I see the AppleTV displayed as an option in Sound and in iTunes.  I cannot mirror my display.

     

    I have a friend here with a 2014 Macbook Air with Yosemite and it can share display, but cannot share audio.  It is the exact opposite of my issue with the same AppleTV.

     

    I can share my display from my iphone 5s as well.

     

    Any thoughts or articles that address Airplay issue from a macbook pro?

    An Apple TV

    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)
