If you don't see the Airplay symbol in the menu bar, can you verify that setting?
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
If you don't see mirroring options
If your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears, your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears. If you still don't see the options you expect, make sure your Apple TV has the current software update installed. Also make sure that you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" option selected in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
Best,
Nubz

Jan 6, 2015 2:37 PM in response to Nubz N.by Cayman al,Thanks for the reply Nubz but unfortunately i have tried all these things. The software is up to date, all systems are on the same network. airplay works from ipad and iphone to apple tv. apple tv is not asleep. the option would be ticked in settings if the computer could 'see' the apple tv but it says no device detected.
i noticed last night that i can use the aiplay symbol from within itunes on the mac to airplay sound and video to apple tv but i just can't airplay anything outside of itunes. There is still no symbol on the top menu bar.
