App for streaming from network drive to Apple TV?

I'm looking for an app that can do several things. There are apps that I've downloaded and paid for >:-( that do one or even tow of these things, but I want to:
Stream movies (of different file types) from a network drive (WD MyBookLive) to Apple TV, via an iPad.
There are apps that will stream any filetype from a Mac to apple TV, but they need certain server software running on the Mac, so no good for me with my network drive.
There are also apps that will play any filetype on an iPad, streamed from a network drive. But these won't stream to Apple TV.
Is there something that does both, that doesn't require special software on the drive?
Thanks!

That's a shame.
thanks Rudegar

Looking for app to stream from MacBook Pro to iPad

I am hoping soon to get one of the new iPads and would like to play movies stored on my MacBook Pro laptop and watch them on the iPad. What is best one and I dont mind paying for it.

It is a 2 part app-server on Mac, client on ios device.
It streams from any drive, folder on the Mac.
It does live conversion, so you can stream video regardless of format.
I have been using it for a couple years-it is excellent.

I have an iPad and my sister has a Mac. I'd like to buy an app for her from my Apple ID to her Apple ID but can't seem to do it. Any help please!!!

HI Friend,
I think Gift Cards found in iTunes can help you. You can give her a Gift Card as the same value as the app and then she can buy by herself.
PS.: I never made it before, so please have a look about this in iTunes for further information before the purchasing.
Hope it will be helpful

Can I stream from my iPhone to apple tv by bluetooth

can I stream from my iPhone to apple tv by bluetooth
We have a new SONY BRAVIA 32" in our RV how can I stream directly from my Iphone or ipad direct to the TV via Bluetooth?

No you cannot. The only Blutooth support for the ATV is keyboards.
AirPlay requires the ATV and source (iPhone/iPad/computer) be on the same network, wired or wireless.

Quicktime 7.2 (and up) slow playout from network drive

Does anybody has a problem with all versions of Quicktime 7.2 (and up) where Quicktime Player doesn't play or open files very slowly from network drives? 7.1.6 works fine. This happens on all my machines.

Hey Germac,
For me these invisible files were not stored on the desktop as the files i was working with were on an external drive but i guess if the file you are converting is located there or if the desktop happens to be where the resulting file is saved, it's likely these invisible .QT temp files will be created on the desktop.
I've sent info of this to apples quicktime feedback so hopefully they'll look into it.
Here are some apps that will allow you to view invisible files without using the terminal, i've been using the InvibliX app as it seemed to be the most recent and/or up to date but there are plenty to choose from.

Sandbox cause my app kept connecting unavailable network drive

Sandbox cause my app kept connecting unavailable network drive, can it be fixed?
I have to manually delete sandbox config every time to prevent app hang.

Hi Jaggs,
   nice question!
   I think the problem is that is not only your LabView application which stops, but the Operating System which hangs, if Storage device access fails. I experienced this problem under many OSs, Win, Linux, Dos-like...even RTOSes (try to access a corrupted Flash card in PharLap ETS for FieldPoint!).
   To check if drive is present, you can ping it... it's quite naive, but at least you avoid the "drive disconnected" problem... I think a ping shouldn't hang PC...
   What Hardware are you controlling? You know, some NI boards (many...) have onboard memory, and can sample independently of PC control....for a while, of course!
   I hope some guru will answer to your question (which I didn't answered, I know! ), because I'm interested too!
   Have a nice day!

Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA

Hi
Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA.
I have a server 2012 remote access gateway, with remote apps published(which uses single signon), behind a 2FA connection (web based) and want to know if its possible to allow macs to connect to the remote Apps behind it. i cannot permanently remove any
of the above setup as it is a requirement.
When i connect from a mac i can login to both the 2FA and remote access web pages and see all the apps but when i click on any app it downloads it to the mac and when i try to run it using Remote Desktop App for MAC i get an error :
"httpendpointexception: 4, The non-proxy http connection failed to connect with the message: 500 internal Server Error."
I have tried with 2fa turned off for testing and get the same result.Does it support 2012 TSGW server? does it support Remote desktop apps? as i cant find a definitive answer on either.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From Error description it seems to be a communication issue between your Mac and your RD gateway server. If you connect from extranet, you may need Remote Desktop Gateway or a VPN/Direct Access connection to your intranet, or forward port 3389 on your router.
500 Internal Server Error seems to be a HTTP related error.
The HTTP status code in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
Also, please double check the settings if you have a RD gateway implemented in you intranet.
http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/12/24/rd-gateway-in-windows-server.aspx
In Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway pluggable authentication is also introduced. This allows custom authentication routines to be used with RD Gateway. For example building a two-factor solution on top of RD Gateway is now possible which allows doing token-authentication
to the RD Gateway which works seamlessly with RD Web Access or RDP file launching.
Please check below article for more information.
Windows Server 2012 R2 is coming what does this add to RDS – VDI
In addition, please provide the log file from the client for further research.

Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Mountain Lion is the best OS yet, IMHO.

Can I compile an App for iOS from Dreamweaver CS5.5 from a PC running Windows (7)?

No, you need XCode to compile the app and you need a Developers license to be able to publish.

Okay, use AirPlay if the Mac supports it or Home Sharing.

Streaming video from networked drive to iTunes stutters!

So, my brand new iMac with the optional graphics card can't play movies bought from iTunes without stuttering a little. We store the movies on a recently bought ethernet-capable 250GB drive which communicates with the iMac through a new 100Mbps switch. iTunes plays these movies flicker-free from the local HD, but not over the network. Quicktime has the same issue. That networked drive is the "iTunes Music Folder Location" specified in preferences. This is iTunes 7.0.2. Music streams fine. I've set iTunes' preferences for "streaming buffer size" to "large."
We want to store the movies on the networked drive so we can easily add capacity and access them from other machines on the network. Sounds logical, right? Isn't that what these drives are for? Help! I want my Media Server!
We also watch TV on the iMac, using an Elgato eyeTV 250. It's fine, and caches 2GB of video during playback. When we tell it to write to the networked drive, it stutters a little too. Like one 'jag' every 10-20 seconds. When we use the local disk, it's seamless.
One thought: the iMac is cabeled to that switch with a 100-foot cable. A problem?

Can't Stream from iPhone 5C to Apple TV

Hi,
My Apple TV is on the same home network as my iPhone and on the television main screen I can see iTunes Radio and Netflix and all of the other apps, so I have it set up, however, when I try to check for Updates, it starts working * and then is always unable to connect. So can someone help me resolve this so I can stream content from my iPhone to the Apple TV? It used to work but I recently changed providers and the new provider added my Wi-Fi of my Apple TV so the device is recognized, but still when I try to stream it won't send whats on my phone to the Apple TV. I guess I am looking for some things to try.

Hello SLOWDOLLAR,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you are experiencing networking issue with your Apple TV. You mentioned receiving an error message when attempting to check for updates - how about when you try other internet-related tasks? Do any of the apps work (i.e. trailers, iTunes store, etc)?
If not, check out the following resource for information on troubleshooting network connections:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support

You can also refer to this article for basic troubleshooting information:

Is there a 3rd party App to search a networked drive?

We have recently moved from archiving our graphic files on cheap external drives, to a secure server. It's a Unix based server. We can access files just fine, but we can no longer search our files! Is there a 3rd party app for Mac (Snow Leopard, Lion), tat can search networked drives?

I wouldn't recommend wasting any money on an app. If you have a Mac with iPhoto then it should be pretty easy, but if you have a PC, I would recommend creating a folder (Doesn't matter what you name it or where it is) and going to the Photos tab when you're syncing and selecting that folder. Then you'll have to go to "*My Computer*" and drag and drop the photos to that folder you created. Then you can create sub-folders and and organize all your photos. A problem is that your iPhone can only read one level of sub-folders, but that shouldn't affect this task. I hope this helps! If you still can't figure it out, then try going to an *Apple Store* and ask a "Genius" for help.

Can I stream from iphone 3g to apple tv

I Just moved and cannot get cable/internet for another week. Soo... My iphone has internet (duh!) but cannot support a wireless hotspot. I also have at my disposal a MacBook Pro and an airport express. What I would like to do is stream from my iphone to my 3rd gen Apple TV. Can I somehow setup a network for sharing without having the iphone try to use the wifi for internet. Or could it be possible to connect the MacBook Pro to the Apple TV via a wifi network then stream the phone to the MacBook Pro via Bluetooth?

You can't use the cellular connection to stream data from the web and then share it using a wifi hotspot on your phone to use AirPlay if that is what you are after.
You can however set up a proper wifi network using a router if you want without having an outside connection and use it to Airplay content on your phone you downloaded from your cellular network.

Slow Streaming From Time Capsule to Apple TV

Hi,
I have several movies and tv programmes stored on my Time Capsule..... When I stream from the time capsule to Apple TV it is very slow and is constantly buffering. How can I get around this as at present the films / programmes are un-watchable.
Thanks
mbchunky

Thanks for describing your current network configuration for streaming.
In your current setup, QuickTime will first have to access the media files from the TC over a wireless connection. From there it will send the stream back to the TC. The TC will then send the stream to the Apple TV. As you can see there are a number of potential Wi-Fi interference issues along this overall path. Interference is not just from other Wi-Fi operating nearby, but also includes microwave ovens, portable phones, baby monitors, etc. Very importantly, it also includes the type of building material used along the path the wireless signal must travel through.
I would suggest that you do a bit of testing to determine what exactly the data throughput you are getting. Once you understand those values, we should be able to determine where the bottlenecks are and try to eliminate them if possible.
Please take a look at the following AirPort User Tip for details on taking throughput measurements.
