Can't see local DLNA server from iPad and iPhone

Hi
I have a Windows 8.1 PC running a DLNA server which services a community of devices including Win 8.1 Laptop, XBOX One and 2 x XBOX 360 Consoles, an iPad and iPhone. All has been working until recently (within last 7 days). (I cannot recall whether the current situation immediately followed ay one particular change).
Right now all devices can still use the DLNA service apart from the iPad and iPhone. I cannot connect to the service from the iPad using a DLNA renderer or even connect to the web interface via Safari. I have tried (and failed) to ping the server from my iPad (pinging from my laptop both wired and wirelessly is fine). I have turned off the Windows firewall and still have the problem. Using a subnet pinger, my iPad does find my laptop.
I am at a loss! I have tried to isolate the issue but have failed. Sounds like a server side / firewall issue (access to a port) but other systems are fine. Seems curious it is occurring on the 2 iOS devices in the household!
Can anyone suggest a course of action?
cheers
John

Hi Rudegar
I have been successfully using iOS apps such as 8Player as DLNA renderer, but it is no longer able to find the DLNA server (Media Browser Server) and, as reported, I cannot even ping the DLNA server from my iPAD (yet can ping other Win 8.1 devices).
regards

How can I see youtube now on my ipad and iphone with the new ios 6.0?

the youtube icon disappeared from my ipad and when I tried to see videos on the web it's say that is unavailable for my device, same thing with my iphone 4S

Go to the app store and search using the term YouTube. You should see a number of apps that will give you access to it.

Sign out of the iCloud control panel and then back in.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

Follow the instructions here or here. Note that while iOS applications can be stored on a computer, they can’t be run on it.

I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining). I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices. Data storage is still same.

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

iCloud doesn't have anything to do with texts or phone calls. Those are both tied to your phone number and SIM, not to an iCloud account.

Set up the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, then turn photo stream to On.

Thanks very much for the instructions. I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately. When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

Hi,
May i know which app in particular you are taking about.
If that is Adobe Reader you need to sign-in in Adobe Id and password and that should be it.

I'm haing trouble sending email from iPad and iPhone 4. No trouble receiving email, just sending!

If this happened in the past hour or so with dot-mac or dot-me mail, the iCloud servers were having a problem.

Where don't you see the Photo Stream? On your iPhone/iPad or in iPhoto on your Mac?
In iPhoto on your Mac check, if Photo Stream is still enabled on System Preferences > iCloud and in the iPhoto Preferences "iCloud" tab.
