Amazon prime video airplay blocked on all Apple devices, why?

Why is it that Apple cannot figure out how to come to an agreement with the largest online book and video supplier in regards to making apple airplay available for Amazon prime video account holders.  Amazon Prime is a pretty cool technology but politics and money are blocking Apple users from being able to use this technology.  You can hear the movie but there is no picture.  Nothing is wrong, Amazon has just blocked all Apple users from what I can tell.  It does seem a bit hush,hush for some reason.  I love Apple, but they need to learn to play with others better or they will find themselves in decline with all the Microsoft tablet products out there.  Anyone wish to weigh in on this dilemma? 

While I agree Apple cannot control Amazon, but on the other hand Apple could try to negotiate on behalf of all their customers.  Apple is pretty powerful company, no excuses for not trying to do something.  There is now an app, and we know that Amazon does market themselves as not being exclusive. This is an incredible technology and should be enjoyed by Apple customers.

  • HT202157 Will Apple add Amazon Prime Video Streaming to Apple TV

    I am trying to find out if you can use Apple TV to stream Amazon Prime directly with out going through another device - ie Ipad Iphone - Computer - etc

    Hi Cameron,
    It doesn't appear that Apple TV is currently supported for Amazon Prime streaming. From the Amazon site:

  • Can I access amazon prime videos via Apple TV?

    I am an Amazon Prime member.  I also have Apple TV.  Can I access Amazon Prime videos via my Apple TV?

    I was about to buy Apple TV when I found out about this.  Looks like I'm getting ROKU this weekend instead.  It's such ashame that everything has to be competitive.  Geez...Apple is killing the industry so why worry?  I have to look at the bottom dollar, and paying $79 for Amazon Prime and unable to stream to my television...and since Roku is $49 cheaper than Apple TV and I have more streaming content...looks like the smart choice.

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until 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.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Works but not x2 iPad2.  WiFi network is the same for printer and all Apple devices.  Help.

    We are unable to print from ipad2 using Epson Artisan 730 printer.  Software download to Macbook was successful but unable to download software to x2 iPad2.  All Apple devices are on the same WiFi.  I followed the Epson instructions but message box pops up stating Safari unable to download file.  Any suggestions.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The iPad and iPad 2 using iOS do not use the same software as your Mac using OS X.
    They are entirely different operating systems.
    Look in the iPad Apps Store for Epson iPrint app for iPad. It is free.
    The Artisan 730 is one of the printers the app supports, so this app should allow you to print from your iPad.
    If you're looking from the Mac side, open iTunes, and the iTunes Store, then the App Store, and search for Epson iPrint for iPad

  • Are all Apple devices chargers the same, or do iPads use different chargers

    Are all Apple devices use the same chargers iPhone4, iPhone5s and iPad3 and 4 with retina the same?

    Hi Ralph Landry1
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    The iPad use a 12W USB Power Adaptor.
    Where as the iPhones use a 5W USB Power Adaptor.
    The iPod Touches use either a 5W USB Power Adaptor or they can run off a iPod USB Power Adaptor.
    The difference in the Watts can be found in the bottom of the adaptor (it will say 5W, 12W or iPod)
    All iPhones and iPods can run off the 5W or iPod Adaptor.
    However for the iPad to be sufficiently charged in needs the 12W charger (hence sometime when plugged into a computer it will say 'iPad is not charging') The iPad needs the 12W to charge - this takes 5hrs otherwise.
    The iPad charger is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=3c
    The iPhone charger is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=48
    Apple no longer sells the iPod USB Power adaptor and as such the iPods now just run off the 5W charger here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=74
    The chargers have changed shape over the years yet the old ones will still do the same job.
    Many Thanks and Enjoy charging!

  • Streaming Amazon Prime Video

    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1 and an Amazon Prime Instant Video subscription that I stream through the Amazon Instant Video App.  Can anyone tell me if the Digital AV cable (30-pin to hdmi) will allow me to stream Amazon Prime Instant Videos on my tv by directly connecting my iPad2?  I've heard some apps will only stream the audio to the tv with no picture.

  • Cannot open videos on shared photostream using apple devices

    All members  of our shared photostream are unable to open posted videos. Pictures are present.  This affects only those using Apple devices, i.e. iPhones & iPads all models.  People who are viewing the photostream on a Windows device are able to see the videos.

    Just started having this issue as well!
    I can view the shared videos in iPhoto via my iMac but not a single one of my iOS devices will play the videos. 

  • How to play any/all apple devices on outdoor speaker

    What is the best way for us to play songs through our apple devices on the outdoor speakers through the setup we have which is recieve/amplifier connected with a wire to our outdoor speakers. 
    Right now we play the radio and plug in our ipods and such to the reciever.
    would be nice to:
    1. control the songs from our devices in another room if there is an ipod attached to the system.
    2. play songs from any device to the speakers.
    3. let guest people with their own device tap into the system and play a song.
    I assume some wireless sytem is needed, or via airplay?  or somehow to be able to control the songs on one device from another?
    Thanks in advance

  • I emailed my Outlook calendar to myself and opened it on the iPhone, I accepted all appointments to the apple calendar, they show fine on the iPhone but do not sync to all other devices, why?

    I use Outlook at work, I email the next week's calendar to my iPhone.  I then open the email in apple mail on my iPhone and click "accept all", which populates all events onto my apple calendar.  All good so far.  Now I open my iPad, mac etc and the events are never sync'd over.  I test by creating new test events on iPhone and iPad and Mac and they all are able to create events that instantly sync to all other devices, cool.  If I open an event on the iPhone that was pulled in from the emailed Outlook calendar, and then hit edit then save, magically it shows up on all devices.  But that is for that event only.  The Outlook calendar I sent and accepted into the iPhone calendar had 35 events, it is too cumbersome to open each and hit edit/save so that they will all sync to all apple calendars on my various devices.  Help!

    You should be able to set up numerous IMAP accounts on your iPhone with no problems.
    IMAP will not sync contacts and calendars in your local copy of Outlook.

  • TS1398 Since upgrading to ios6, all apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device. It's an ios

    Since upgrading to ios6, all the family's apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device and we have to reconnect through settings. This appears to be an ios6 software issue.
    Is there a solution to this wifi connection issue or do we wait for a software fix?
    I'd hate to think Apple is going down the Microsoft path, of passing untested software onto the user. What ever happened to Regression Testing, to ensure the existing functionality remains intact?
    I bought into the Apple dream, because it was intuitive, reliable & enjoyable to use, all the things that Microsoft windows isn't.
    Other issues we are experiencing are, Games are stuttering and the kids really miss the old YouTube app.
    Please Mr Browett, sort these issues out.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    YouTube is not now part of iOS 6.
    However, you can go to the App Store and do a search using YouTube. You can download several YouTube apps: YouTube (for the iPhone, a IPad app is in work), several users  like Jasmine and YouPlayer.

  • TS4083 Is there a way to have my Icloud delete my emails on all apple devices that use I cloud? If I delete them on my Iphone, they do not delete on my Ipad and vice versa

    I cant figure out how to set up Icloud to delete my emails on all my apple devices that use icloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I frequently have emails that I delete on my mac but are not deleted from the iPhone/iPad (this is for an iCloud account,  @mac.com).  In time they eventually delete, but it can take time.  I usuall delete them from the devices as well.

  • Since ios 8, imessages are turning into texts. And the receiving person has an apple device. why?

    Since ios 8, imessages on my iphone are turning into texts. and the recipients are using apple devices. Their reply messages come back in a new message, without the history. and often their address is an icloud one and not their phone number (which is where I sent it). Why?

    As in the link when you send an iMessage your text bubble is blue. If it's sent SMS your text message is green. Both parties will receive the message or reply in a grey bubble. When you contact them ask them what colour their sent text messages bubble are.
    As for group messages check your settings. MMS must be turned on; Settings > Messages. Send as SMS must also be turned on.
