Hello,
I have a mid 2011 macbook air running El Capitan 10.11.5. I'm trying to turn on Airplay, but in the display window the drop down that says "Airplay display" is showing "off". But there is no option to turn it on. I've followed the recommended instructions. Any help? Thanks.
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), iOS 10.3.3, OS 10.11.5
If you don't see the AirPlay icon
in your menu bar, make sure that your Apple TV is awake and meets the system requirements.
If you don't see your Apple TV in the AirPlay menu, make sure that your Mac and Apple TV meet the system requirements. Also check your firewall settings:
- Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy.
- Click the lock icon, then enter an administrator name and password.
- From the Firewall tab, click Firewall Options.
- Make sure that “Block all incoming connections” is not selected, and “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” is selected.
Use AirPlay to display video from your Mac on an HDTV
