Free Airplay App For Mac

AirServer® Universal is the most advanced screen mirroring receiver for Windows PC. AirServer Universal allows you to receive AirPlay, Miracast and Google Cast streams, similar to an Apple TV or a Chromecast device, so you can stream content, cast or mirror your display from an iOS device, macOS, Windows, Android, Chromebook or any other AirPlay and Google Cast compatible device.

Reader Michael Anders is thinking about a Mountain Lion update but is concerned that he may not be able to use one of its more attractive features. He writes:

Airplay From Macbook

Free airplay app for mac

I have a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 15” MacBook Pro, which was made in 2010. I’ve heard that some MacBook Pro models, although capable of running Mountain Lion, won’t support AirPlay Mirroring. Is that true? And, if so, is there an alternative for sharing my Mac’s screen via my third-generation Apple TV?

1 - Create a network in the WiFi menu in your menubar 2 - Run Reflection on your mac 3 - Choose your mac as an AirPlay device 4 - And your iOS device appears larger than life on your mac's screen I'm a developer and use it to record my app for demo videos - used to use AirServer + Screeny but this does the job of both. The popular screen mirroring and streaming app Reflector has received a notable update today. Reflector 4 is now available, and it includes Apple Silicon optimization, an all-new user interface.

Samsung screen mirroring Send music, videos or pictures from your iPhone/iPad and Mac via Apple's AirPlay - Or use your Android Phone/Tablet and PC with a compatible DLNA/UPnP app/program to send media directly to or stream from a home media server to 'AirPlay For Android' installed on your Android device or phone.

You have heard correctly. Take a look at the Feature-Specific Requirements section of Apple’s OS X Mountain Lion Tech Specs page and you’ll find this listed under AirPlay Mirroring:

  • iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
  • Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
  • MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
  • MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)

As you can see, your MacBook doesn’t make the cut. Powerful though it may have been at the time, install Mountain Lion on this laptop and AirPort Mirroring will be conspicuous in its absence.

As for your second question, there is indeed an alternative. When I tweeted about this issue recently, follower @joshfofer provided the answer: Squirrels’ $10 AirParrot. This is an application, compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher (or Windows XP or higher), that allows you to mirror your computer’s video and audio to a second- or third-generation Apple TV. It can mirror your complete desktop up to 1080p on a 3G Apple TV, mirror just a specific application (without background desktop cutter), as well as extend your desktop between your Mac and your TV (this is a feature that works only with OS X).

I’ve tried AirParrot with the HDTV in my office and it looks reasonably good, though no one would mistake that TV for a monitor plugged directly into my Mac. (I suspect Mountain Lion’s AirPlay Mirroring won’t look much better.) You can fiddle with AirParrot’s settings to try to improve the image and performance, if you like. I’d suggest taking advantage of the AirParrot demo, which allows you to run the application for 20 minutes before it automatically quits. That will give you an idea of whether its image quality is up to snuff.
