2 Tap Photos on your iPad and select the picture you wan to begin with. Touch Slideshow button on the upper right corner, you will see all available AirPlay receivers in the Slideshow Options window, select your Mac (I choose X-Mirage because I change the Mac name to X-Mirage. X-Mirage allows you to set name for your Mac, so you can quickly find your Mac when there are multiple AirPlay receivers.) and then click Start Slideshow.

The tutorials on the interface is for enabling AirPlay Mirroring on iPhone and iPad running iOS6 or iOS 7. When you enable AirPlay Mirroring on your iOS devices, the screen of iOS devices is mirrored to the Mac installed X-Mirage. Here we are not using the AirPlay Mirroring, but AirPlay.

2. Run apps that are AirPlay-enabled and hit the ‘AirPlay’ icon.

Open apps you want to watch videos with on your iPhone, iPad or iPod and play any videos, find the AirPlay icon and hit it, choose X-Mirage[your Mac name] in the Devices list, then the video is streamed to your Mac.
