Can't AirPlay from iPhone to Apple TV gen 1

I know Apple never claimed that you could stream to the first apple tv, but why can I stream to the airport express, which is older technology, and should be integrated into the atv1? Sounds like a scam to sell apple tv 2s. I don't want an apple tv without a hard drive - I have one and it *****. It's slow, and wants to fill up my laptop with movies, which i don't want to do.
Please fix these little oversights, Apple, and stop trying to trick people into upgrading!

According to my knowledge (I could be wrong), you can stream from your Mac to TV 1G, but not from iPhone at the moment. I understand that this is a very big disappointment.

    No picture when mirroring airplay from iPhone to apple tv

    Sorry, your profile says iPhone 4. Best to be specific or have things up to date in order to avoid misunderstandings and prompt assistance.
    In any case you are still using basic airplay. You need to enable mirroring and this cannot be done within an app.

  • Video streaming from iPhone to Apple TV only plays the sound.  How can I fix this?

    Video Streaming using AirPlay from iPhone(5s) to Apple TV only plays the sound.   The TV screen goes blank when I choose AirPlay but only the sound plays.   How can I fix this?

    Is this using a specific app or apps?  Not all apps support video out over AirPlay, the option is up to the app developer.

  • I use my iphone 5 to record home videos. I have an apple tv but dvd burners dont have a hdmi plug in. Any suggestions on how i can burn videos from iphone 5?

    I use my iphone 5 to record home videos. I have an apple tv but dvd burners dont have a hdmi plug in. Any suggestions on how i can burn videos from iphone 5?
    I had a av cord that plugged into the iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 but its not compatible with the 5 connector. Right now i have to email myself the videos in small segments and open and save on the iPad 2 to burn them.  Is there an easier way to burn these from my iPhone 5 or through air play on apple tv?
    Thanks

    Connect the phone by USB to the computer, import with image capture, iPhoto or whatever application you use to import movies, drop it into iTunes.

  • Airplay from iPhone to Airport Express - no sound?

    We have two of the new Mac Minis, one new Airport Express and 4 iPhones in the house - and we can use Airplay from both PC´s to the Airport Express hooked up to the stereo - works fine!
    And we can se the Airplaybutton on the iPhones and the name of the Airport Express - but we don´t get any sound when we push the button and it turns blue?
    We have rebooted alle the devices, made restores, reconnected - but no sound? I just don´t get it?

    Same here:
    - iPhone 4 with iOS4.2;
    - Airport Express with latest firmware;
    - Airplay on iTunes 10.1 with Macbook Pro works fine on my home stereo equipment;
    - installation of iOS4.2 went fine;
    - rebooted already both iPhone and Airport Express;
    - Apple support told me to restore original settings on my iPhone, which I didn´t do but very much doubt would help anyway (the lady working for Apple Support didn't even know what "Airplay" was).
    I think we are facing a bug and must wait for an Airport Express (or even iOS4.2) software update.

  • HOW CAN I AIRPLAY FROM MY MACBOOK PRO

    HOW CAN I AIRPLAY FROM MY MACBOOK PRO

    The graphics chipset in pre-2011 Macs will not support the AirPlay feature. I guess Apple could have withheld the feature for everyone, or provided free graphic upgrades for all older Macs. Neither choice makes much sense. It's a shame, but the Mac and iOS products have a lot more going for them than this one feature.
    AirParrot is said to work for some machines. I tried it on my 2008 iMac, and it left a lot to be desired

  • Can we backup from iPhone and iPad into time capsule?

    Can we backup from iPhone and iPad photos and data into time capsule?

    iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up only to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud. More details on backups here:

    If you backup the iOS devices to iTunes, then iTunes in turn backs up to the Time Capsule using Time Machine.

  • I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id

    I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id

    There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
    You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password.  There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • Can you sync from iPhone to PC?

    Can you sync from iPhone 3GS to PC, instead of the other way 'round?

    The syncing of iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from iTunes on your computer, or from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after purchasing/downloading music, video, or 3rd party apps with your iPhone.
    iTunes content is not kept synchronized but is part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. Photos transferred from your compute to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process are not kept synchronized either. The transfer of photos is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
    The only bi-directional or true sync process is for contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on your computer. The same for notes if you are using a supported application on your computer for syncing notes.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as photos, documents, etc. All iTunes content is stored in an iTunes named folder. With iTunes quit on your new computer, place the copy of the iTunes named folder from your old computer in the appropriate location for access by iTunes on your new computer. You will also need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only. First you need to authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device or as a storage device to transfer data from one computer to another.

  • Can I stream from iphone 3g to apple tv

    I Just moved and cannot get cable/internet for another week. Soo... My iphone has internet (duh!) but cannot support a wireless hotspot. I also have at my disposal a MacBook Pro and an airport express. What I would like to do is stream from my iphone to my 3rd gen Apple TV. Can I somehow setup a network for sharing without having the iphone try to use the wifi for internet. Or could it be possible to connect the MacBook Pro to the Apple TV via a wifi network then stream the phone to the MacBook Pro via Bluetooth?

    You can't use the cellular connection to stream data from the web and then share it using a wifi hotspot on your phone to use AirPlay if that is what you are after.
    You can however set up a proper wifi network using a router if you want without having an outside connection and use it to Airplay content on your phone you downloaded from your cellular network.
