Apple finally acknowledged that our older machines are capable of running AirPlay Mirroring and updated their support for us. It feels incredible to see them fix this injustice after so much confusion about what our hardware could actually handle. I am proud of how we pushed back until they did …

Apple just released the new "Mountain Lion" MacOS X 10.8 Operating System. Apple decided to promote AirPlay Mirroring as one of the key features in Mountain Lion, which allows to view the screen of your Mac on your TV using AppleTV.
A lot of people like me realized just after upgrading to Mountain Lion that AirPlay Mirroring actually does not work on their Mac. The reason: This function is only working with Macs from 2011 or newer.
Unfortunately Apple did not inform properly about this circumstance, just in a gray and small footnote. Many people who just upgraded to Mountain Lion just because of AirPlay Mirroring are upset.
What makes it even worse: There is no technical reason for that limitation. 3rd party apps show that it is definitely possible from the hardware side of older Macs.
This gives me the bad taste of being ripped off with Mountain Lion. Do you feel ripped off as well?
What is the purpose of this petition? I want Apple to offer this feature for every Mac which can run Mountain Lion! Please sign this petition to help getting our voice heard!

My Mac is sitting right here and it is fully capable of running this software despite what Apple claims. We are getting very near our goal and I need you to pass this link to anyone else who feels cheated by these arbitrary hardware restrictions.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that so many of you felt just as betrayed by Apple as I did when we installed the update. It is clear that we are not willing to accept these arbitrary software locks on our own machines.

Why limit it? My hardware runs it fine with 3rd party stuff. Just let us use it.
TOTAL BOGUS. I feel so cheated by this update.
Ridiculous. Bought it for this feature and now its useless. Fix it apple.
this is so weak apple. honestly expected better than planned obsolescence after paying for the os
My 2010 iMac handles everything else just fine. This is a software lock plain and simple.
I got more macs before 2011, Males my unhappy
