BBC iPlayer not working on ipad 1 through ATV

I know this has been brought up before but I can't find a straight answer. I have an original iPad 1 with OS 5.1.1.  I installed the UK version of BBC iPlayer (via the UK itunes store) and went out and bought a new AppleTV device. I installed the ATV and did the update, connected it correctly and tested I can AirPlay youtube etc. This all works.
I connect to the UK via a VPN to access UK content (using the iPlayer) and I can watch and stream live TV, radio etc on the iPad, no problem. When I try and airplay TV content (live or downlaoded) it comes up with an Error Message: Content could not be loaded at this time. Please try again later.
Can anyone shed any light on this? It seems wierd that the BBC radio portion of the iplayer works with Airplay. It's almost as the BBC video stream is not compatibale. Ive tried contacting the BBC iPlayer tech people but I got a generated reply saying "we're sorry you are experiencing missing downloaded content". Got that wrong.
thanks for any help. Cheers!

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

  • BBC iPlayer not working with v31.0

    I've seen a few questions similar to this so I know I'm not alone in this. When I'm trying to watch BBC iPlayer live stream, after no more than a minute or so - sometimes sooner than that - it will apparently start to buffer but will not continue. After a while it will throw up a "Content not available" error. If I restart from the beginning, it doesn't start from the point it should in the live broadcast, it starts from the point I initially started trying to watch and freezes at the same point, i.e., it is stuck on a short loop.
    Nothing breaks the loop. Restarts, cache, clearing etc, etc, nothing. Oddly, the is no problem whatsoever with playing programmes streamed from the iPlayer library. No buffering, nothing, works exactly how it should and exactly how the live streaming was working up until recently.
    What have I tried? All the things suggested in other answers. Starting Firefox in safe mode, checking flash versions, turning off hardware acceleration in flash, resetting Firefox to default. Nothing works
    What does work, without issue, is iPlayer through Chrome, so the problem is not my laptop, iPlayer, my internet or presumably Flash so what is the problem with FF?

    Hi guigs2,
    I have checked that I have the latest available graphics driver; I have tried with hardware acceleration both on and off and I've also tested with WebGL enabled and disabled. However, the problem remains.
    I am now running Firefox v33.0.1, so the problem exists that version and also v31.0.
    To repeat/clarify, the problem is that the live stream seems to buffer but will not continue. Reloading/F5 just starts it from the beginning again. If it is left for long enough, eventually a "content not available" error is displayed. It also gets into a loop. I tried to watch live at 07:45am this morning, it played for about one minute then began to buffer and the stream froze. I tried twice more and the stream started at the same 07:45am point, even though it was then by 07:50am! It played the exact same one minute video stream from 07:45am and then froze.
    I tried the same channel 8 hours later - having restarted FF and having previously shut down the BBC site tab - and it played the same one minute loop from 07:45, rather than what was on live!
    I tried it again at 21:30 and got a live stream, not the one from 07:45 but the stream it should show however once again it froze after a minute. Once again, refreshes of the page/restarts etc only resulted in the same short loop being played every time.
    To reiterate, the problem does not manifest itself in Chrome or in IE in any way. Using either of these browsers, the live stream plays with no issue at all, so the inescapable conclusion is that the problem is Firefox-related in nature somehow.

  • Polarioid pogo printer not working with ipad and iphone

    And I can not believe how that truly *****... I am traveling through the states and bought the pogo to print on the road... Only to find out that it does not work with ipad and does not work with iphone... Unless I jailbreak my phone which I don't really want to do...
    Apple wants us to go mobile and clouding and all those things, yet, when we do go mobile and try a mobile life style, we are encountering so much technical crap that we loose the will to live...
    I could have spend the hundred dollar for the pogo to have pics printed out in every kiosk in the country...
    WWhen is Apple going to come to its senses about little life savers like the pogo and bluetooth???????
    Is anyone aware of a work around so I can print on the go? And a solution that does not involve a programmers brain because my single braincell is not working while traveling... It needs to be easy!

    To cut through all the rage and anger and "knowing" who wanted what, the Pogo has been out for a year or so, well before Mr. Jobs' passing, and Apple did not make any mention of supporting printing on anything other than Airprint compatible printers.
    Since Airprint is a Wi-Fi/ethernet thing, Polaroid would have to make a significant redesign to the Pogo.  Considering that the first iPhones only supported Bluetooth headsets and Apple didn't provide any indications about increasing Bluetooth support, Polaroid's decision for the Pogo to be Bluetooth was obviously not with iOS devices in mind.  This is why initially Polaroid had links on the FAQ to tell Apple to add Bluetooth printing support (so that in effect, asking Apple to pay for the expenses to make the iPhone compatible with the Pogo, rather than Polaroid paying to make the Pogo compatible with iOS.)
    I come from a photograpic background.  I got the Pogo as soon as it came out.  I quite literally was on Polaroid's website every day checking to see when I could order it.  Having "instant" sticker prints is wonderful at family picnics with all the kids.  While it would be great to be able to get Pogo prints from anyone's iPhone, I stopped holding my breath when Apple announced Airprint, which came well after the Pogo was released.  So I took that as the sign that it was probably never going to happen.  (I knew that the Pogo wasn't iOS compatible when I bought it so not having compatiblity is not a deal-breaker for me.  But, yes, it would be nice.)
    I now use a Polaroid Z340 since it's a 14 megapixel camera that prints larger 3x4 Zink prints.  Polaroid makes the GL10, which is basically a Pogo using the same printer as the Z340.  But it's still Bluetooth only.   So while I sympathize with the desire to have a really compact portable printer like the Pogo, iOS compatibility just does not seem to be on the horizon.  IMHO, it would be more realistic that Polaroid create an app to do Bluetooth printing.  But considering Polaroid's financial issues, I'm not holding my breath

    When trying to PDF a webpage into a PDF, it does not work, I go through all the steps as normal, and It does nothing. I can repeat my action, where instead of "printing" to adobe, it saves the file, which it doesn't save it at all. I can't even find the original in my work folder. I need to know how to stop this from happeing and get it back to the way it has been working he last 6 months since i purchased this program.

    Hi pissedadobeuser,
    Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
    Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
    Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

  • Printer not working following iPad uodate

    Printer not working following iPad upgrade

    Hi,
    Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
    Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
    Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

  • Flash Variable is not working in Ipad

    Hi Experts,
    I'm facing with an issue, could you please suggest me your valuable suggestions.
    I have created Two dashboard (Example names A1 and B1), I need to open the dashboard B1 without asking credentials, when I select an Image in A1.
    To work in such a way, I have created a flash variable and pointed the range to cell J1.
    I have placed a URL button on top of image in Dashboard A1. I have copied following URL in a cell, and this URL I have pointed to URL Button.
    URL= (="../../../Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID=M1TVABCADjs2AHoAlg123AAgoBpgwAAAA&sIDType=CUID&CELogonToken="&J1)
    Opening B1 dashboard from A1 is working fine in desktop and in Android tab, but it is not working in Ipad. Not working in Ipad in the sense a new browser window is opening with empty page.
    I have tested in another way like, passing opendocID and Flash variable to the URL button, It is working fine in Ipad but asking for the credentials.
    Experts could you please suggest me some solution.
    Ipad is Ipad2 and BO Version is 4.1 SP4.
    Thanks & Regards

  • ICloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

    iCloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

    I can see the acknowledgement that this issue will be fixed in the 'next' software update. Considering the original post was for an iPad 2 running 5.0.1, I am not sure if this issue on iOS 5.1 which runs on my new iPad (4G) is considered fixed. As I reported in my previous post it is impossible to update individual tracks. I also tried adding entire collection to a single playlist, shuffling the playlist. While shuffle is in progress, turning to the 'list' view that allows tracks to be rated does who the currently shuffled playlist and the currently playing track and assigns the rating to the track correctly. However, as soon as the second track plays, switching to list view (which displays the ratings) lists only the tracks from the currently playing track's album. Which is insane IMHO.
    So, was this not fixed with 5.1 update? Or the iOS 5.1 will get it's own piece of update on this?

  • Can't connect to websites with any browser. Bookmarks do not work but bookmarks  through bookmarks edit works just fine.

    Can't connect to websites with any browser. Bookmarks do not work but bookmarks  through bookmarks edit works just fine.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
