Airplay from computer to iPad?

So I guess I didn't understand Airplay correctly. I thought it was going to be more of a two-way street. Can I not play video from my computer onto my iPad? I was really looking forward to this because I thought we were going to be able to stream video content on my home iMac to my iPad if I was on the same network. Am I wrong?
If I am wrong, why is this not allowed?

It's because there's already an app that can do this and do it really really well.
It's called Air Video and it doesn't cost much. You can stream video of any format (not limited to h.264) to your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch live through Wifi or 3G. The purpose of Air Play is much like the concept SlingMedia devised a few years back with their SlingCatcher using the Sling Projector software. It works with the same concept. It's a projection protocol.

  • Why is ITunes crashing when I try to sync photos from computer to Ipad?  I am using latest IOS 7.0.2 and latest ITunes 11.1.1.  Running Mac Pro with 10.6.8

    I Tunes crashes when I try to sync photos (via USB cable provided with Ipad)  from computer to Ipad.  It worked fine before I downloaded the newest ITunes update.  I tried downloading the update again but it still crashed.

    My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
    I've restarted my iPhone.
    Restarted my iMac.
    Re-installing iTunes.
    Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
    Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
    All with no success.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • How do I transfer photos from computer to ipad

    How to transfer photos etc from computer to ipad,

    This would need to be done via iTunes. So you'll need a computer, and download iTunes to it, connect your iPad, select your iPad, make sure you have the Summary page up and one of the tabs should give you an option for Photo's - sorry I'm doing this from memory.

  • HT201302 how to transfer video from computer to ipad

    How to transfer video from computer to ipad?

    Does the video meet the format requirements?
    Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Putting Photos from computer onto iPad

    Why can I not add more than one folder of my photos from computer to iPad. used to be able to have multiple folders, now if I add one it removes the one that's one there. Want to be able to have a few different folders of my photos on iPad. How do I do this

    I cannot find out how to upload pictures from computer to ipad on updated itunes.

    I've gone through this one. The new version of itunes I have doesn't list the devices on the left side but across the top and there is no place about photos. Also noticed If trying to move docunments from numbers it's no longer at the bottom of the app page as in the past and I have to email docs between computer and ipad.

  • I have problem when transferring book (PDF/Epub) from Computer to iPad with the new iTune? Please Help....

    I have problem when transferring book (PDF/Epub) from Computer to iPad with the new iTune? Please Help....

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac. If you are trying to get it to the iBooks app then with the sidebar enabled the process should be similar to how it was on previous versions of iTunes e.g. add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync it to the iBooks app.
