Q: Can not locate the airplay icon on my macbook air

Hello

 

I recently bought apple tv. As far i am very happy with it, but i am having annoying issue with the apple tv and my macbook air. The macbook can not seem to be able to stream any content to it, no matter what settings i change. It just seem to be missing completely the airplay option. I am running the latest OS X Yosemite update. Any ideas how i can solve this?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Hello PWGltd,

 

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

 

In order to use AirPlay between a Mac and an Apple TV, your Mac needs to be one of the following:

 

  • 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,
