    Hello mirale007,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    If you are wanting to use AirPlay between a Mac and an Apple TV, then the Mac needs to be in the supported list below.  Since you have a 2010 model, AirPlay is not supported.

     

    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)

    Take care,

    Alex H.
