AirPlay from iPad - won't play everything

As an example, I'm using the New York Times app - there is an icon for AirPlay and I can select the AppleTV. However, the content plays on the iPad but not the tv, even though the selection remains AppleTV. Huh? This happens when I play similar (meaning the AirPlay icon shows up and I can select AppleTV) in Safari. I am able to get items in my iTunes library to work.

Video support is currently limited to the native video/music and the youtube app on the iPad. Once the update comes developers will get the tools, but it will still be up to them whether or not it is implemented.

Video from iPhone won't play on iPad

I received a video from iPhone in an email but iPad won't play it? Any way to get it to play on iPad.

I appreciate what you are both saying -- but it is not the music that is the problem. The video itself is NOT blocked - you can view it on a computer -- but when you try to view it on ipad/iphone the message says, "not available on this platform". Here is a link to a video I did in Elements 9 on Tuesday:

The "raw files" are both adobe flash.flv -- it's just not making sense...
Thank you!!!

Can I use ATV(2) and Airplay from iPad without a network?

I'm going on holiday to a rented villa which has a TV (which I assume has an HDMI port) but there is no internet connection, therefore no router or local WiFi network. I'd like to be able to play content from my iPad and/or iPhone via Airplay on the TV using my AppleTV (2) (which I could easily take with me).
However, experimenting at home, it seems that ATV won't do anything at all unless connected to a WiFi network. Airplay works fine even if the network is not connected to the internet; even purchased content seems to be ok (but DRM free - I haven't bought any non-DRM-free music). However, without a separate WiFi router, ATV doesn't seem to do anything. In particular, my iPad doesn't "see" it, and can't connect to it, unless both are connected to an existing network.
I don't understand why this should be so. Should it not be possible to connect two WiFi devices (eg iPad and ATV) to each other without needing a router?
I can get it to work if I use my MBP to set up a WiFi network by using Internet Sharing to share my (non-existent) ethernet connection using Airport. Airplay then works between my iPad and ATV. However, this is a rather clumsy arrangement - I'd been hoping I wouldn't need to take my MBP with me for that week.
So, am I doing anything wrong, or is this (Airplay from iPad to ATV without a router) just something ATV can't do? And is it "can't do" (ie ATV has the wrong chipset or something) or "won't do" (ie Apple have set it up so it won't work like this)? And if it's "won't do", any chance Apple will provide this functionality in the future?

After submitting this, I found an answer to a similar question last December (Can I create an ad-hoc (WiFi) network between my iPhone and Apple TV?); basically saying that you need the router; but I'll leave this as a question (a) to help others find it, because I looked before I submitted and didn't find a relevant discussion and (b) just in case someone else has a better idea......

You could take the airport and setup a wifi network without Internet. The atv2 can connect without Internet access to a wifi network setup with a router. Be patient when it connects, it tries to establish an Internet connection and it takes a while to find there isn't one!! Eventually it offers to connect without Internet. Once connected you can stream to it as usual. One word of caution - don't disable home sharing, if you do and re-activate it the atv2 seems to need an Internet connection to verify your account.
I did precisely this recently when I had to wait for a couple of weeks for Internet to be connected at my new house.
But, you need the router - unlike iPhone, iPad etc the atv2 will not connect to an ad hoc network.

My iPad won't play iTunes when my PC is shut down?

My iPad won't play iTunes when my PC is shut down?

If you are playing music from the computer to your iPad using Home Sharing your computer must be on.

Hi,
Have you tried a reset?
This solves a lot of these problems, and I'm not sure if this will work in your case, but give it a try. You hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding both buttons down. After about 15 seconds the Apple logo will appear. See if that helps.
You will not lose anything on your ipad when you do a reset. (A restore is a whole other issue!)
The following link addresses your issue and offers some other possible solutions.

IPad won't play sound with video? Will play music and radio apps, but not if there is a video component. Same for my iTunes movies.

Help! My iPad won't play any audio when there is a video component to an app or game. It will play my music and I can see the video on my movies, but not the movie sound. Turning off and turning it on again worked as a temporary fix once, but now that is not working either. Been going on for an week or two?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

When I use airplay from Ipad foxtel appication video doesnt come on tv

when I use airplay from Ipad foxtel appication video doesnt come on tv, audio comes. It works ok with other applications

Some apps/providers disable video over Airplay for commercial reasons - check teh foxtel site to see if video airplay is allowed.
Can you use Airplay mirroring instead of airplay?

IPad says it's sending video via AirPlay, Apple TV won't play it.

When I send video to Apple TV, iPad says the video is playing on AirPlay but the Apple TV refuses to play the video. No audio, no video, nothing. Just a second of the spinning gear like it's trying to play it, then back to whatever it was previously doing. Both devices are at their newest software levels, and resetting the iPad doesn't work.
The only thing that has worked is unplugging the Apple TV, but that only resolves the issue for about a day, and sometimes not at all. HELP?

What kind of content are you trying to play, and from what app?
Is this all music/video/photos or just certain video (which might be incompatible if you've made it yourself)?
Some kind of wireless network issue is most likely, either slow or dropped connections, but if unplugging AppleTV helps it may be worth hooking up to a computer via a microUSB cable and running iTunes to factory restore it.
What kind of network setup do you have?
Can you stream anything via Airplay from iTunes?

DVD from PE9 won't play in computer let alone another DVD player

I produced a 7 minute video in HD. I can play it on my computer either as HD or at standard res from files produced via the "Computer:Export files..." on the Share menu. I need to produce a standard NTSC DVD and when I burn using the "Disc: Burn DVD..." I get a message that the burn has been completed successfully. Yet the DVD will not play on my computer if I reinsert in in the same drive I just used to burn it, and won't play in a regular DVD player either. The computer doesn't even see the disc if I search for it. I've read a lot of stuff about DVD-Rs and booktypes and bitsetting but this doesn't seem to apply here since the computer can't read its own disc. Burning a copy of the files burned to folders doesn't work either. The DVD burner burns everything else just fine. I am using DVD+Rs. Would it make any difference if I used DVD-Rs? Or is there anything else anyone can suggest? I am using Windows 7 Professional. Thanks.

>burning to a folder
If you are able to write (not burn) the folder structure to your hard drive, you may use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc
Put a commercial DVD in your drive and take a look with Windows Explorer to see the folder structure and the types of files... and make sure what you write to a folder from PE is similar

Video player - iPad won't play! Help?

HHi, my i player won't play, nothing will not play all of a sudden? Any solutions greatly appreciated! Thanks jo

Try closing the Videos App and reset the iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT204291 Help with AirPlay from iPad

I'm trying to send a video to my AppleTV from iPad. Sound is heard, but image is main menu. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).

My ipad won't play the rented movie I started this morning on plane

I started watching a rental movieon my ipad this morning on a plane. It's been less than 24 hours, but the rental won't play. It opens up and then says "cannot open". How do I fix this? If it's an account thing, my room at the hotel will charge me for a 2nd device, so I need to take it elsewhere to get a wifi signal. This is an ipad 2 and I've never had this happen before. It is within the 24 hours after I started watching it and I really do want to finish the film before it expires tomorrow.
I've tried restarting the app. I've done a hard reset twice. What should I try now? (The movie was downloaded directly onto the ipad; it was not transfered via itunes.)

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Conflict between home sharing from MacBook Pro and airplay from ipad / iPhone?

Just bought an Apple TV, and set it up yesterday. Everything works fine, with one exception. When I have iTunes open and home sharing turned on the Apple TV, when trying to mirror airplay from my ipad 4th gen or my iPhone 5s, I get nothing on the Apple TV, just black screen. It also makes the device run really sluggish.
I've definitely narrowed it down to this conflict, quitting iTunes on the MacBook Pro immediately resolves the issue. So no big deal, right? Just turn off itunes. Except the whole point of buying the Apple TV is to have a central point I can stream all my media in the house from, I'd like to have my MacBook Pro, iMac, ipad and iPhone able to take control of the Apple TV without having to run across the house to turn iTunes on or off on the computers.
This only happens when mirroring, normal airplay audio or video works just fine. MacBook Pro and Apple TV are hard wired Ethernet, ipad on wifi.
Is this a known conflict? Is there any solution?

Normally there ought to be an airplay button in the top menu bar (where also the battery, wifi, clock, etc are located). And in display settings at the bottom there ought to be a drop down menu labelled Airplay Display.
If not, it seems that your Apple TV cannot be found. Are both on the same network? Have you enabled AirPlay in the Apple TV (Settings -> AirPlay set to On)?

Apple TV loses wireless network connection when using AirPlay from iPad or iPhone 5

Our Apple TV loses connectivity to our wireless network while using Airplay from our iPad or iPhone 5. This started occurring after the latest iOS update. We are able to wirelessly stream movies from iTunes without any problem. This issue occurs only when using AirPlay. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a:
new MBPr 15" late 2013 with dedicated graphics card
new airport extreme base station
3rd generation apple tv
iPhone 5s
200mb download speed (not important, as streaming video on your local network has nothing todo with outside bandwidth)
All equipment is up to date software wise. Airplay mirroring from my laptop to my apple tv is ok. I get frequent lag, pixelation, audio skip (every 10 mins or so).
I'm using the 5ghz specturm to connect to the airport express so shouldn't have any inteference from my neibours (accordiing to iStumbler i'm the only person with a 5ghz setup using channel 30). I've tried connecting apple tv wirelessly and wired. No issues streaming from my iPhone or an iPad!
Surprisingly, using apps such as Beemer or Air Video Server on my MBP work better than native mirroring when it comes to video play back.
Strange when you think how Air Video works:
Video file lives on MBP
iPhone connects to laptop
Video plays on iPhone and is sent to Apple TV via Air Mirroring
Rather than:
Video played on laptop
Video sent to Apple TV
Seems bizzare that my iPhone can handle better streaming than my pro laptop.

Mail sent from iPad won't show on MacBook

I've had my iPad for less than a week and just noticed that the emails I send through my Gmail account (IMAP) from the iPad won't download to my MacBook, whereas the ones I send from my laptop do appear on my iPad as soon as I press the send button. This is odd for the ones I send directly from the Gmail page also show up on my laptop when I open Mail. Anybody knows of a way around this synching problem? I've searched this forum as well as the Gmail website but haven't found any solution so far and don't know where else to look.

Sounds like you do not have SMTP for your iPad Mail configured correctly with Gmail. SMTP is used for sending email. When you send email from the Gmail web page using Safari on your iPad you are completely bypassing the Mail client app which is why that works.
