Can i take my apple tv away with me and watch my films which are on my mac at home.??

hi,
i am soon to be working away from home, and as an alternative to the pub i hoped that i would be able to access my films and music through my apple tv via wifi which i will have in my digs.
is this possible??
i also have an ipad with a lead to connect to a tv, could i use this??? without saving films onto it.....
if not how can i best work this??!!!
very many thanks.....
phil

As I was saying earlier that is not possible because the Apple TV has no accessible storage and streaming from your iMac is done via home sharing on your local network.
iTunes purchases can be accessed via the cloud on Apple TV. If you have iTunes Match you can access your full music libary from the cloud.
Using the iPad to watch your films would require syncing them and then connecting the iPad to a TV.

  • Can't sign into apple support communities with icloud apple id

    i realise this isn't the right community for this question, but apple don't have a support category called "apple support".
    i have that problem where I have an appleid called "frumbert", which I got about 10 years ago. it is and always has been tied to my gmail email address. i used this for about 5 years worth of itunes purchases, then forgot it for a couple of years.
    when I got an ipad I also got an icloud account, and stupidly signed up using my gmail email address as my icloud username. it's tied to the same gmail email address as my existing "frumbert" account. i've since made all my itunes and app purchases using my icloud appleid, and it's the one associated with my mac warranties and such.
    so two appleid's share the same email address.
    i can't sign into apple support commuities with it because I need a new username. i can't create a new username because the email address is tied to an account already (this one, the old one, "frumbert"). An account utilizing this email address already exists. Only one account per email address is allowed on Apple Support Communities. Apple's way of saying you're c-ockblocked!
    but I can't also change the "frumbert" account because there's another account with the same email address, my icloud one.
    fark! how does one get out of this mess?

    I'm having the exact same problem and so are a lot of other people. Apple's solution - shut up and create a new account just for the support community.
    Smells outsourced to me!

  • Hi can i buy an apple developer account with gift cards?

    Hello i want to subscribe to the apple developer program but i dont have a credit card, and i have a few gift cards from my birthday, can i buy an apple developer account with those?

    Allow me to expand on this question.
    Will Apple allow me to pay the developer program subscription fee with a gift card, but use a credit card for my account verification?

    Hello pscorning1,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

    How can I delete an Apple ID from one device and replace it with a different ID on that same device?

    Tthe brute force method: start with Settings > iCloud and turn off Find My (you will need the password), then change the iCloud ID, then go to the apps such as Messages, FaceTime, etc, and delete the Apple ID and enter the new one.

  • Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit

    Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit

    People report it is still possible to use a wired USB keyboard with the CCK, if you use a powered USB hub to get around the "not enough power" error message.  (I have done this with an older Apple USB keyboard my non-jailbroken iPad1 on iOS 4.3.3.)  Normally, powered USB hubs have a AC power adapter so you lose portability unless you can find a battery powered USB hub.  At this point, the (in)convinience of the USB hub becomes an issue, depending on what you get.
    And wired USB keyboard were never supported for the iPad.  So there's no guarantee that it will continue to work with future iPad updates from Apple.  So best to go with a Bluetooth keyboard unless you have a specific USB keyboard that you "must" use.  If you have all the equipment already, I say give it a try.  But I would not recommend trying a USB keyboard if you have to purchase anything.

  • Why can I not change the apple id associated with iphoto and imovies

    Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies

    Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
    When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that?

    Can I use my Apple DVD player with USB connector with my new iPad?

    No, the iPad won't recognise it. If you are wanting to copy content to the iPad then you will need to copy it to your computer first, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

    if you have iPhone4 and can you take out the sim card from iPhone4 and transfer it in to new iPhone4s?

    Under the circumstances this will probably considered a dumb question.
    I currently have a jailbroken unlocked 3GS with a GoPhone plan.  Works great.  I am considering upgrading to a new factory unlocked 4S.  Will I be able to swap in my current SIM card and go?
