APPLE TV doesn't find my IPAD, not may MAC AIR, not my wife's MACBOOK

I have not been able to wirelessly (wifi) connect any of our APPLE devices to APPLE TV. They don't appear in the menu. I have set my computer to the same ITUNES account of the APPLE TV, I switched off all of the devices and the APPLE TV, unsuccesfully turn on again.
But I have been able to stream photos (¿?) from my MAC AIR to APPLE TV.

If each computer uses a different ID and password in homesharing in the iTunes advanced menu, both computers cannot connect to the Apple TV, they need to be the same.
On the Apple TV under the Settings menu, select 'Computers' (5th option down and enter the same ID and password. If it says 'turn off homesharing' you have already entered an ID and password, but it might be a good idea to turn it off and check you enter exactly the same details as on both computers from the iTunes advanced menu.

  • Can I search (find) my ipad from my mac air?

    Can I search (find) my ipad from my mac air? I know there is an app for iphone or ipad but, how you do it from a Mac Air?

    Absolutely you can. It is part and parcel to iCloud's functionality on the Air.
    Set-up iCloud on the Mac and log into iCloud. The i{ad itself must also be properly registered with your Apple ID.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address, postal addresses and phone numbers from your post.
    I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but if those apps are crashing then have you tried toggling them 'off' and 'on' via Settings > iCloud ? And if that doesn't fix it then try closing them via the iPad's taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If it's a different problem ... ?

  • TS4006 Last known fix for Find my iPad? How is this not an included option for devices that are currently turned off.  Absolute no brainer.  Thief steals the iPad and turns it offline, or user loses it while it has low battery, lost forever.  Brilliant.

    If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • HT4436 I have a laptop Mac and an IPad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the IPad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    I have a laptop Mac and an Ipad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the Ipad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
    However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

    If the Mac use Lion (10.7) you can use Airdrop for that.
    With Mac's not using Lion you may set up a computer to computer (ad hoc) connection.

  • HT204150 Do I just take it as a given that contacts on an iPad and a Mac air will not sync?

    Do I just take it as a given that contacts do not seamlessly sync between an iPad and a Mac Air?

    If you've got all your ducks in a row, then they should sync.
    Are they both signed into the same icloud account?
    Are contacts turned on in icloud settings/system preferences?
    Here's a test; log into the icloud account at icloud.com using a browser and lok at the contacts page.  If there, then one of the devices managed to get the data to icloud, but the other is not syncing down (again, check to be sure both devices are connecting to the right account and that all is turned on).
    If there's no data on icloud.com, then neither device is syncing.  You must not have the settings correct.

    I want to copy my iPhoto library to an external drive but I cannot find the folder on my Mac Air. When I open Finder there is no Picture folder showing so I cannot find the iPhoto library.

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Pictures/ as the path. If that doesn't work, control-click a photo in iPhoto, show it in the Finder, and Command-click the folder's name in the window's title bar to find the path.

  • Mac Air not supporting iPhotos

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1
    WARNING:  If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device. 
    Also it will disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unless you have the contacts backed up somewhere, you won't be able to restore them.
    You and your son should have your own iCloud accounts then you can keep your own contacts and calendars etc and avoid deleting each others.
