Can I use air play to mirror anything that's on the screen of my iPad

I have the nfl gamerewind app on my iPad. I'd like to use air play to mirror the games from my iPad to my TV screen.  Is this possible?
Or, is it possible to mirror the screen of my Windows 7 laptop to my TV using Apple TV?
Thanks for any help, I am very new to this, have never used Apple TV before.

There are 2 kinds of Airplay - one which 'mirrors the display' on AppleTV (in iPAd 4:3 aspect ratio).  Mirroring is only available on iPhone4S and later and iPad 2 and later and certain newer Macs.  Mirroring is processor intensive as it compresses each display frame and sends the video to AppleTV as well as having to do what an app is doing.
The other kind of Airplay available on some older devices essentially sends a pre-rendered compatible file to AppleTV to play rather than a mirror of the screen.
Note - content providers can and do block certain things from working with Airpolay so check if it's a particular app, game or website you want to airplay.
You might want to check out Airparrot which might be able to mirror your Windows laptop to AppleTV.

  • How can i use air play to play amazon instant videos through Apple TV on my television

    I downloaded movies from Amazon Instant Video to my iPad (3rd generation).  When I go to play the movies on my iPad, it gives me the option to play via Air Play on my iPad or Apple TV.  If I choose Apple TV on my television, the audio will play but not the video.  How can this be resolved?

    It's probably because the app is designed to not allow it.
    When you tap on the Airplay icon, check what is the icon beside the AppleTV choice.  If it's a speaker instead of the AirPlay icon, it means the app will only send audio and no video.
    Many streaming app restrict the video playback on external display.  It is not an Apple limitation but an third-party decision when they made the app.  I saw some TV app restricting Airplay video and some other not.  You should complain to the thrid party which will most probably reply this is related to advertisement contract to restrict the streaming playback on TV screen.
    The next big thing here that may change this is Airplay mirrorring with Mountain Lion which is bypassing all of these restrictions. 

  • Strange Blue Vertical Lines All Over Anything that White on the Screen

    My screen always showed blue vertical lines on anything that is white on my Macbook Pro screen, but when I moved the screen back and forth a few times the blue lines just gone. It always happens when I took the Macbook Pro from a bag and waked it up and once and a while during normal usage. I took picture when the blue lines happen but I couldn't post it on the forum.
    I sent my Macbook Pro to local Apple Center but they couldn't find the problem. They has checked the screen connector for me but the problem still exist.
    Anyone, any idea what causing this?

    Don't get me wrong and I don't think anyone like to have dead pixel, do you?
    I understand the LCD screen could come with dead pixel. I can live with a few dead pixels and I have no problem except any dead pixel from USAGE. With the new notebook or LCD screen I have a choice to check for the dead pixel and other false before I take any of them back home and if there any dead pixel happen after I am start using them I can accept it.
    The thing that difficult for me to accept is the replaced LCD came with the dead pixel (my previous screen didn't have any dead pixel) and I don't have any other choice but to accept it. I feel like I have been forced to accept it.
    My perception on Apple product quality still good. I will continue buy Apple product. But I disappoint in Apple service policy (not quality as I mention before, sorry) because I expect they would be better or different from others.
    ps. They changed my screen because they don't have a replacement only for screen cable so they replace the whole screen.

  • HT1600 I just bought a mac for close to $4500 and I can't use air play.

    So now I am told that this wonderful machine needs an app like Air Parrot to make it work ??? Apple sort your stuff out and make it work please. Very Frustrating...!!!

    The technology for AirPlay lies in the computers processor, the Mac Pro uses a different processor to other Macs.

  • HT4437 Would I be able to use Air Play, Apple TV, and an iPad running iOS7 in order to mirror an iPad running the Safari web browser onto an HDTV?

    Would I be able to use Air Play, Apple TV, and an iPad running iOS7 in order to mirror an iPad running the Safari web browser onto an HDTV?

    Yes.
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

  • HT4437 how  can i stream audio to ipad from video playing on the apple tv using air play?

    how  can i stream audio to ipad from video playing on the apple tv using air play?

    I don't know what AppleTV can handle as far as bit rate is concerned, but increase the bit rate as high as it will let you. You are taking DV which is 25Mb/s and compressing it. If you're making an H.264, you should get great results needing no more than 6Mb/s. Bear in mind, the higher the bit rate, the larger the file size.
