Apple tv 3 and the New iPad - I WANT to stream only the sound

Hey guys!
I've got the new iPad and apple tv 3 which is great together!
I have a receiver (which is located in the living room) with Zone2 option and also have outdoor speakers which are connected to that Zone2.
When I sit outside i want to use my great speaker system and use the outdoor speakers using AirPlay and ATV and stream the content to my ATV but the thing is that when i do that I lose my video on the device and the tv (which is in the living room) shows my video feed.
That of course is a problem coz I enjoy my great speakers but can't watch the video (like YouTube video or something else)...
Is there a way to stream the sound only to the ATV?
I found discussions of people who don't manage to stream their video to the ATV and only managed to stream their sound but that was an error and things like firmware update solved their problem...
Found no discussions of people who TRY to stream only the sound, like I want to...
Does anyone have an idea that can solve my problem?
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

It's actually very easy and doesn't even require splitting the video stream and extracting the audio track from it (which is pretty easy if you have a desktop computer).
If you don't want to play back protected content (non-music videos purchased from iTunes Store), all you need to do is getting GoodPlayer, letting it play audio in background (Settings > Background Audio) and connect to your ATV in non-AirPlay mirroring mode. It'll happily play back the audio track of the video while you can do anything in the foreground. (Note that, in addition to GoodPlayer, other background audio-playback players may also work - it's just that I've tested GoodPlayer in this regard between my ATV3 and iPad 3. Let me know if you need more - for example, a list - info on them.)

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

Apple ID. My newly updated iPad 2 wants an email for the apple ID. My apple ID is not an email address. How can I get past the set-up screen?

I can't change my Apple ID. It would mess all my stuff up.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

What is the "correct" name for the new iPad? Is it also called the 3rd Generation?

I have the latest iPad, purchased Mar '12. But when I read Apple News it is referred to as the "new ipad" & somtimed the 3rd Generation. What is the "correct name & will "SIRI" be available with this Fall latest update? Thanks!!!

Yes, it is somewhat confusing isn't it. Almost like, the iPad is having an identity crisis. I believe the official Apple line would be that it is the "New iPad" but I see it referred to the 3rd generation just as frequently as the new iPad.
Siri will be available for the "new iPad/3rd Gen when iOS 6 is released this fall.

Downloading the SD file onto the new iPad air , when you have purchased the HD file.

Hi,
i have a new iPad air, I have purchased movies on iTunes as a HD version which I know I also get the SD version too! I had the iPad 1 and when I download films onto that, it gives me the option to either download the SD file or the HD file. on the new iPad it doesn't give me this option.
Does anyone know how to download the the SD file instead of the HD, as we all know SD uses less memory. I have the 128g IPad.
Thanks
Paul

When syncing your iPad, on the summary screen, there is a check box for the option to prefer the SD version of videos. Click that and the SD version will be synced.

Does the new iPad air 2 get hotter than the previous iPads?

I Have noticed that the new iPad Air 2 seems to be warmer than my 4th. Generation ipad. It is not so hot that I can't hold it, but I definitely notice a difference from the air 2 & the 4th. Generation iPad.
Thanks for any feed back.

Hi The iPad Air is very slim I retuned mine for a refund viberates on speaker battery not lasting And yes it did get warmer and it's a bit flimsy. Got iPad Air 1 now 32G £359.00 now was £479.00 No problems. Cheers Brian

TS4009 My new apple iPhone 5 and my new ipad will not backup to iCloud. Call support and have another call, as apple can not identify the. Issue? Any suggestions??

Can not backup to iCloud on new iPhone 5 or my new ipad. So far apple can locate problem . Any ideas.

I am logged into Icloud on both devices. There is plenty of storage. My Iphone5 has never backed up automatically or manually. It is plugged in and on Wifi. The message is always backup did not complete. My new ipad backed up once on 10/29/12 and does exactly the same thing as my phone. If you start the backup manually it stops after 10-20 minutes and says did not complete back up. I have made sure my login password is the same on both devices....I was bumped up a level last night on Apple Support call and she could not figure it out. We have another call tonight. So far I have no backup of my contacts and do not know what the issue is.

I have an iMAC, an iPhone and a new iPAD Air, how do I get the contacts/address book to my iPAD AIR?

Is there a Contacts or Address Book app for the iPAD AIR? Can I take the address book data off my iMAC and put it on the iPAD AIR, or can I take the Contacts off my iPHONE and put them on my iPAD AIR?
I'm really a beginner, so please make answer basic.

You would have to link your iCloud account to your ipad, you can find iCloud in Settings>ICloud there you can then link your Apple ID and make sure contacts is on!
Luck! -M

On the new iPad how or where do name the device

Naming an new ipad
Where do you do that.

You can name/rename it directly on the iPad in Settings > General > About > Name, or you can do it when connected to your computer's iTunes by double-clicking its current name on the left-hand side of iTunes under 'Devices' : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3965

The new iPad: Does your SmartCover wake up the new iPad a little slower than iPad 2?

Hey guys! I got my new iPad (32GB with iOS 5.1.1) one month ago. Now I found it takes longer to wake it up than my old iPad 2 with SmartCover. I have to wait for 1-2 seconds before the screen lit up. However, iPad 2 only take half seconds or less, seems instantly...
I wonder if anyone has the same problem like me? Is it something related to the iOS or can I change for a faster one (if the problem is hardware-related)? Thanks for your contribution.
Darling kim

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your detailed reply. I can't see any slow response on iPad 2 even with lots of app running background I think may be this issue is by design for iPad 3, or may be caused by the iOS 5.1.1 as my iPad 2 still running its original iOS 5.0.1...
This issue is rarely reported, so may be it's an exception for both of us.
I was concerned about this, but not that much now. The stunning Retina makes me forgot it! I bet you feel the same
Another thing, does your new iPad is a little darker than iPad2 when setting to maximum brightness?
Kim,

How do I know if I have the new iPad or the iPad 2. I bought it today but chose not to get the cellular version of the new iPad and now am unsure of which one they have given me. I know I was charged for the new one

I bought what I think to be the new iPad but chose to go with the non cellular option. Now I'm not sure if they have given me the new iPad or the iPad 2. I got a black 64gb one and need an easy way to determine the differences. I haven't put iOS 6 on it.

Look at the Model number in the very small text on the back and compare it to this:

Bought the new iPad and it's up and running, itunes and the app store are working well but when I try to open up either FaceTime or messages they won't open and a message appears cannot open try your connection. Help what is not right.

Have just bought the new iPad, everything working fine including iTunes, the app store and iCloud but when I try to log in to both FaceTime and imessage an error message comes up saying it cannot connect and to check my connections. What am I doing wrong.

My iPad1 died. I ordered new iPad. How do I get the apps and contacts onto the new

I was never assiduous in synching my pad. I think I did sometimes. Doesn't Apple know what I bought from them? How do I tell them I want to switch from the old dead one to the new one? Am I in the iCloud? I don't know!

You have a few options
1. If you sync with your computer on a regular basis. Then you connect your iPad to your computer and select the option on your iPad that says "Restore from iTunes" [or Connect to iTunes].
On your computer, select Restore from Backup and select the latest date for that backup (if more than 1 is present). This will restore your iPad's apps, documents, pictures, email accounts, etc back.
2. If you used iCloud to back up your iPad. When you get your new iPad select "Restore from iCloud" and the rest will happen automatically. It may take a few hours so plug it in to the wall outlet and let everything restore.
Here are somethings that won't restore
A. Apps that have been removed from the AppStore for any reason. Even if you paid for it, you cant get it unless you sync with your computer.
B. Music that have been removed from the iTunes Store.
C. Movies, TV Shows that have been removed from iTunes Store
3. If you're starting a FRESH new iPad. You can set up your account. Use the SAME Apple ID as you did on your old iPad. If you don't remember which email address you used then search your emails (on your computer) for iTunes receipts. After you link your Apple ID to your new iPad; you want to go to the AppStore and select Purchased and then download the apps that you want to have on your iPad.
