I have my apple tv and macbook pro both connected on the same wifi with airplay mirroring on. what kind of a question is that of course i would have other airplay devices what the hell would i be trying to connect to?
Well he didn't know. Some people who are new to mac might not quite understand what airplay is.
It should act the same way as your iphone. Assuming that the AppleTV is on as soon as you click Airplay on your mac in the top right hand corner it should instantly mirror it onto your TV where your AppleTV is connected. I didn't have to set anything up its just beamed right to the TV as if I were doing it from iOS.

What generation ATV? It needs to be a gen1 or gen2 for AirPlay.
I have 2nd Gen Apple TV. iphone, ipad work on mirroring. I have mid 2012 macbook pro 13" 2.9gHz so there is nothing wrong with the requirements i have no idea what to do
yeah my atv MacBook Pro iphone iPad are all on the same wifi network. my ipad can mirror no problem. my macbook can play a video on itunes and put that on the tv but the mirroring my macbook wont work. when i press the button it just says open display preferences
I found this... maybe give it a shot. You have me stumped.
"I had the same problem immediately after installing Mountain Lion today. I rebooted my modem (doubt that had anything to do with it), turned on Internet Sharing and Voila! Hope this works for you."

ive tried everything ive restarted my router, macbook, apple tv and nothing shows up when i click the airplay icon except open display perferences like the pic i posted above
found out the stupid problem. i checked online and it said the lasted version of apple tv was 5.0.2 and i checked mine it was only 4.4.4 but everytime I clicked update software it says it was already up to date. so i had to restore it on itunes.
