Apple TV, how to stream music directly from iPad or iPhone

I have an iPad 1 and an iPhone4. I have just bought an Apple TV and successfully connected it to the network. I can play from my iTunes library on my computer, but can you play directly from an iPad or iPhone without running iTunes thru a laptop? I turned on Home Sharing on all my devices, but when I'm in iTunes on my laptop I can't see the iPad or iPhone anywhere.

You need to use AirPlay to play contents on your iPad or iPhone, go into your setup on Apple TV and make sure Airplay is on, then go to your iOS device and play a move or song and then click on the triangle in the box in the right corner and select AirPlay is should start playing on your TV via Apple TV.

  • Can i stream music directly from ipad 2 to an airport express

    Hi i currently am looking for a solution, is it possible to send music directly from my iphone4 and ipad2 directly to an airport express which inturn will be connected to my home hifi via the optical out.
    I am getting confilicting info from the web with some suggestions that i will have to have my pc switched on and use the iphone/ipad as a remote and the music coming from my pc.
    I'm not keen on this as i dont want to have my pc switched on to play music.
    Thanks
    Karl

    If you notice in the instructions for the recent software update instructions, apple asked everyone to reset all settings first before updating the apple tv software.  If you missed this step, this is the reason why you are getting this error.
    The solution is annoying but it works. You need to go into general settings and choose to reset all your current settings.  Doing this will reset your apple tv and allow the recent software update to fully take effect.  You just need to enter your original setup information for apple tv the same way you did when you first installed your apple tv unit.
    Hope this helps....

    You can't.
    AppleTV 1 does not support Airplay only Airtunes for audio.
    There will be no upgrade.  It's Apple's way - they want you to upgrade to newer hardware all the time.

  • Can I stream music direct from my itouch to the airport express?

    Hello everyone
    Can you help a noobie, I've got an ipod touch and would like to stream music, you tube video etc wirelessly to a set of powered speakers directly from the itouch and am wondering if the airport express would allow me to do this?
    Thanks
    Gary

    The ultimate answer, no you cannot. This might be something that is worth looking into, (the website below), though. Then you could stream it to a computer, then to Airport.

  • Is there how to download music directally from the ipod and save them into the ipod's library?

    I don't want apps like music download pro, download lite...

    For non-iTunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

    For iTunes purchases:

  • How to stream music directly into FME

    Sometimes I broadcast myself live using FME, but other times
    when I'm away from the computer I'd like to just play music. Is
    there a way to setup FME to capture the audio that's coming from
    the sound card and capture that, or would I have to use some form
    of 3rd part software? Thanks.

    On Windows, I've been able to manipulate the Audio settings
    (system control panel, or in the system tray) to output just WAV
    audio, which seems to only output sound output from the sound card.
    Seemed to work great for playing only music and muting the mic
    output.

  • How to get music downloaded from iTunes on iPhone into main iTunes

    I have downloaded some music from iTunes on my iPhone but when i sync my iPhone it is not adding this downloaded music to my main iTunes library (on the laptop). If i select to sync the music it says that it will remove the music from my iPhone and replace with what is in the library (laptop).
    How can i update my laptop iTunes with the downloaded music i have added?
    Please help!
    Marie

    Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync. Go up to File>Transfer Purchases. Your purchased content should transfer from your phone to itunes. The music sync is one way: computer to phone.
