How can I watch home videos on Apple TV without using home streaming?

I have an ATV3 and want to watch a few home videos using it. I have successfully converted the files to .mp4 format using videora apple tv converter. The problem I have is that these videos do not show up on my apple tv unless I use home sharing with my laptop. Is there a way to add these videos to my apple tv library without having to use home sharing? I have my files on a laptop and the computer is not always on or awake, and I find it really inconvenient to have to get my lazy butt off the couch when wanting to watch my home videos just to go and turn on my computer. I know that I can set the computer to wake when the network is trying to use it, but that would mean I would always have to have my power adapter connected to my laptop and I really do not want to do this because it will kill the battery. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    How can I name a video on my iPad without using a computer?

    If the film has been fully downloaded to your iPad (or you've synced it from your computer's iTunes) then it should be in its Videos app, and you should be able to watch the film in that app without needing to be online

  • How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

    How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

  • How can I watch a video clip in my iPad 3?

    I just got an attached video clip from my brother, sent to my hotmail. When I open the clip, it just shows an overcrossed play bottom! How can I watch a video clip in hotmail, using an iPad? Do I need to download an app or what? Please!?

    Well on a Mac you can install
    Flash
    Silverlight
    Perian
    VLC
    Flip4Mac
    DivX
    and many other codecs/tools to watch anything.
    Guess the iOS isn't really all that it's cracked up to be, ignoring the wider world out there.
    Your only choice to complain to Apple about closed devices they make, but of course they know this already and using the iPad as a cheap "netbook" halo effect device so you get to upgrade to a Mac, just like they do with iPhones and iPods.
    In the meanwhile they are slowly closing the door on OS X, a little at a time so it's not noticeable.
    Pretty soon the excuse will be "sorry I can't play your video you sent me mom, I've got a Mac"

  • How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?

    How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?  I recently purchased an apple tv and cannot play the movies I have bought on my itunes account?
    Can anyone help?

    You can also got to movies and select purchased and if it comes up cannot connect to server go to settings and scroll down to restart and it should work. That's what I did and it showed my purchased movies and I don't have my Apple TV paired with a computer. Just using iCloud. But you also can pair your computer but its not necessary to watch purchased movies you have bought through iTunes. Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the number you've posted is not the Model or Product No. - see the guide on the link below for details on finding this information.
    http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00033108
    In the meantime, try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded,use Recovery Manager to reinstall your original graphics driver(s) - see the guide on the following link on how to use this software to reinstall drivers.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    After this reinstallation, restart the notebook again, then download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    When the installation has completed, restart the notebook once more.
    Regards,

  • Why I can't watch any video on Apple official website?

    Why I can't watch any video on Apple official website? Everytime I open it it's only a blank frame. I have already downloaded QuickTime several times, it's a windows8.1 PC.

    I am new to Ubuntu, but I see videos ok. Firefox may play some natively but I also have FlashPlayer installed. IIRC FlashPlayer is not on the original Ubuntu 11.10 CD but has to be installed as a separate Firefox plugin. From your system information aside it appears you do already have FlashPlayer installed.
    * Have you got FlashPlayer enabled currently ?
    * I Note you have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX Div X] installed, which is not something I know about, but could that be interfering with some videos, have you tried disabling Div X.

  • I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.
