Having problems air playing from mac to apple tv.

Question

I&#x27;v been having problems trying to stream from my MacBook to my apple Tv. It says i need iOS 7.1 or later, OS X 10.10 or later, or iTunes 11.2 or later. But I have checked every update and its all updated already. Anyone else having this problem?
