Also keep in mind that AirPlay mirroring requires at least a Sandybridge CPU, so you need a mac released in 2011 or later.

  Can you cite a source for that? Experience suggests that is not the case.

    Searching "airplay mirroring mountain sandy bridge" suggests otherwise. http://www.google.com/search?q=airplay+mirroring+mountain+sandy+bridge http://www.google.com/search?q=airplay+mirroring+mountain+sa... http://www.mindofthegeek.com/2012/07/05/airplay-mirroring-in-mountain-lion-not-supported-in-older-macs/ http://www.mindofthegeek.com/2012/07/05/airplay-mirroring-in...

    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ lists the following macs as supporing AirPlay * iMac (Mid 2011 or newer) * Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer) * MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer) * MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer) I remember reading that AirPlay mirroring uses the video encoding capabilities of SandyBridge CPUs, but I can't find a source for that now. Anecdotally, http://airparrot.com http://airparrot.com really taxes my 2010 MacBook's CPU.

      Strange, because it's working great on my 2008 unibody Macbook Pro with Core 2 Duo.
