I want to buy Apple TV for my grandchild so she can play videos and music from her Ipad on the family's big screen. Do I need anything else beside the Apple TV device. Also what is AirPlay? Is it an app, a service or a piece of hardware?

I want to buy an Apple TV for my grandchild so she can play content from her Ipad on her family's big screen TV. She has cable WiFi in her home does she need anything else beside the Apple TV. Also what is AirPlay. Is it an app, a service or a seperate hardware from the Apple TV?

Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

  • Hello..Does anyone in this community know what the following error code indicates   0x8002006E   I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.

    I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.    Thanks for any help you can offer,

    Thanks for your reply:
    I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck            
    I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
    I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
    My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs.

  • My grandson shares my Ipad and I want to give him a monthly allowance on I tunes to buy his own Apps/games etc. If I set up a separate account for him on I Tunes, can he then access this from my Ipad to buy his own stuff ? If so, how do I do it ?

    No, that is not possible. An iPad can only be linked to one iTunes account at a time. For this you should have to reinstall the iPad every time you allow him and reinstall when you get it back. Sorry, but the iPad was designed as a personal device from the ground up and it does not support any kind of multiple users/ multiple accounts.
    You can setup your iPad with Parental controls to prevent him from doing any app or in-app purchases and to hide any adult-only content.

  • I have the apple univeral dock and AV cables and   can play videos and slide shows on my TV but not music How do I play the music

    I am trying to connect an IPOD classic to my TV to play music
    I have the dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows but not music

    Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.

    Here is answer from The Play Forge:
    Hi Anna,
    first of all, please check your receipt again,
    if you've purchased anything else during the period it might appear as if it's related to Zombie Farm (Apples receipts are a bit hard to read to be honest.)
    If this is indeed not the case and you have indeed not purchased anything from us, yet have been charged 239 DKK, there's obviously a big issue.
    However, we're not in charge of the money handled in purchases, as Apple has chosen to be the only one controlling this.
    As such you'll have to contact Apples support to get help with refunds.
    You'll find it at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    We're sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. :/

    The Zombie Farms game is free but "in App" purchases during game play are not. You are being charged for the purchase of "50 brains" not for the game itself.
    Note that if you purchased this game after entering your password, etc. there may be a period of time where someone can play the game and make purchases without needing to re-enter the password.
    Did you give your iPod to your children to play this game?

  • I wonder if Apple will ever make it where you can play your pc games on your ipad

    I wish apple would on their next update, make it where you can put your pc games on your ipad and play them without having to be online.

    Doubtful. PC games use a different operating system so they're not compatible. Your game manufacturers would h ave to make app versions of their games, so the burden is on them to be compatible with Apple, not for Apple to alter their OS to work with games.

  • My laptop is broken and I don't want to buy a new one. Is there any way to recover my music from itunes via my ipad?

    Okay, that's your choice.

    Is the media already on the iPad?  If not, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded if they are still available in iTunes.  Non-iTunes purchases would need to be synced from iTunes on a computer.

  • My friends iPad isn't acting under the same apple id as her iPod although it is so she cannot FaceTime or I'm from her IPad and what should have happened is her devices should have streamed as one cloud under her apple I'd between her devices.

    Any suggestions?

    I'd love to help but I don't understand the issue.  Please try again with periods and caps and real sentences.

  • Can a guest stream music from his ipad to my apple tv 2nd gen?

    I assume he has to be logged into my network.  if so, can we choose his library w/out having to do so using the TV?  I only have apple tv connected to my audio receiver and not my tv.

    In theory I think this should work, as Home Sharing is separate to Airtunes/Airplay.
    The AppleTV being Airplay capable should broadcast this service availability over the network.  Friend should be able to detect it and Airplay provided he's connected to your local network over wi-fi, though he clearly won't see your Home Share content on his iPad unless you configure that for him which from the sounds of it you don't want to do anyway.

  • I want to use my ipad2 to connect to garage band on my mac and record from my ipad directly to garage band

    I like the guitar sound on my ipad and want to incorporate it into a project that I have on my Mac in garageband.  Is there any way to hook my ipad up to my mac and use it like I would the keyboard I use to record into garage band?

    To do it, you have to partition the hard disk, so you will have one partition for Time Machine and another one to store files and use them in a PC and Mac. To create the partition, follow these steps > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
    In order to read and write in the external disk on the PC, you have to select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". If you choose any other option, the PC won't be able to read your external disk. Apart from that, note that you can't use files bigger than 4 GB with FAT. If you want to use the external disk with files bigger than 4 GB, you have to format your new partition in exFAT, and you have to do it on a PC

    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

  • My mother has an iPad and wants a nook app so she can download  a nook book to her F*ing iPad she also wants me to remove my apple acct from her ipad and computer any one have any idea how to do

    my mother has an iPad and wants a nook app so she can download nook books to her iPad and she wants me to remove my apple acct from her iPad i set it up now it asks for my acct info how do i take the acct off of the iPad???

    Yes, actually there is a free Nook app. It does not offer in app book purchases, but syncs to the Barnes and Noble account (book are actually purchased from the web site and then downloaded in the app).
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nook/id373582546?mt=8
    To remove your ID and replace with hers will depend on the extent of functionality you want to do this for:
    Open the Settings App and change the ID in the following areas as they apply:
    iTunes and App Store
    iCloud
    Messages
    FaceTime

    sales at AppStore are based upon 'users'= accounts; if the other Mac is running under your account, you can download and install a copy of iMovie 'for free' (the ToU of Appstore allow to  install purchases on as many computers you own = running under your account)
    If the other Mac is running under a different account, you have to log-in at AppStore under those account, and purchase it it.
    Quiet simple ... and cheap. And convenient.-
