Q: Air Play icon does not appear on my toolbar on my Mac.
The air play icon is not appearing on my toolbar.
I am running OS X.7.5 on my mac and trying to connect it to my apple tv. Both my Mac and the apple tv are on the same wifi network. I can connect through my mac to the apple tv through itunes but I can not "mirror" my screen on apple tv since the air play icon is not there. I had no trouble connecting my iphone.Thank you!!
Mac Pro, iOS 7.0.4
