Q: No option for "Airplay" in "Display setting on MacBook Pro; Where else is this option?

Trying to mirror MacBook Pro to Apply TV. Under "Display" settings there is no option for "Airplay". Even after a software update, such option was not visible. Where else can I find an Airplay option on my Mac OS X version 10.7.5.

- I set up Apply TV with my iPhone and I had no problems
- I already turned on "Airplay" settings on Apple TV
- However I am unable to find the "Airplay" option on my MacBook Pro
- I opened up my "System Preferences"
- Clicked on "Display"

* On and Off "Airplay" option is nowhere to be found.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Hey JenLeb16,

I am not sure what version of MacBook Pro you are running, but as long as you have a MacBook Pro that is an early 2011 as well as running OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) then you should be able to do that. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Thanks for all you're suggestion! I ended up downloading version 10.10.1 OS X Yosemite in the Apple Store which is one version up from 10.8. OS X Mountain Lion and the update give me the Airplay option in the "Displays" settings located in "System Preferences".

I Now Have a Problem with iPhoto
However, I am now having problems with my "iPhoto". My iPhoto is not opening and every time I try to open it, a pop up message says: "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store" - Which I downloaded 3 times and nothing happened.
How do I fix this?
Is there an other app that I can download that is similar to iPhoto that would allow me to get all my pictures back?

Thanks, Jen

iPhoto 9.6 is Yosemite compatible.
Which version of iPhoto is installed on your computer?
Open the Applications folder, highlight the iPhoto icon, press and hold the cmd key, then press the i key. Look for Version, under General.

Update iPhoto to version 9.6. Should be a free update on App Store.
