Airplay, no. However, there is a feature that lets you mirror your screen (which is, to my understanding, different from Airplay but uses the same technology). I don't know the specifics as I can't see well enough to use it all, and don't have an iPad or Apple TV. Google will, I'm sure, have plenty to say on the subject. Besides, if she can't use the Apple TV, it'll make someone else a really great birthday present, and she can switch to a wired solution for $30 or $40. An expensive adapter, to be sure, but that's Apple for you. :) On Jan 23, 2014, at 1:02 PM, Daniel Hawkins <[email protected]> wrote:
