Can Time Capsule stream movies from an iPad?

Can Time Capsule stream movies or content from an iPad?

A time capsule is dumb.. and I mean dumb and dumber dumb.. it has no media servers.. it can store files.. just and from an ipad with difficulty. You will need to use an App to even see files on the TC.
A ipad can probably stream files from a TC.. using an app or several. But TC is a backup box designed for Time Machine.. ipad does not have Time Machine and doesn't even have AFP.. !!

  • How can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating

    how can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating ?

    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie or TV show on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    So I assume that you cannot use File > Transfer Purchases to copy them to your computer (though there is no harm in trying)

  • Can time capsule stream directly to apple tv with out having itunes open

    I'm interested in buying a Time Capsule and Apple TV however I would like to know if I can stream directly from my time capsule to apple tv without having itunes open?

    sort of.
    if you own an iDevice, you can use NetPortal on iPhone (or FileBrowser on iPad) to access media files stored on
    a NAS
    an external HD connected to an airport extreme
    a time capsule
    and use AirPlay to send the files to Apple TV without the need for a computer to be running.

  • Is there a way to connect to my Time Capsule over internet from an iPad

    Hi,
    Could anybody please help me configure how to connect to my Time Capsule 3TB over internet from my iPad.
    I would like to use it as Cloud station over internet.
    I was able to connect from my Mac on both "over internet and from my local network" using "Back to My Mac"
    I was able to conncet also from my iPad from my local network.
    I bought some file browser Apps which enable iPad to connect as "afp, smb" but I could'nt manage to make it work?
    I made all the setting required: Enabling NAT Port Mapping, File Sharing, Sharing Disk over WAN, but without success?!
    Shouldn't Apple includes and supports iPad to make such connection like "Back to My Mac" protocol.
    I believe that Time Capsule is a great product, but I think Apple should consider more of software compatibilities.
    Thanks,,

    Thanks Bob,
    I already tried FileBrowser and I did all the steps as per the instruction on their webpage, but alwasy give error message.
    Could it be that "smb" protocol blocked by my internet provider.
    I am connecting to internet using DHCP.
    Many thanks

  • How Can watch full screen movie from my Ipad to my tv ?

    Hi...When I am conecting my ipad to tv for watching movie ,which is downloaded from itunes ,I am not able to have full screen in my tv .Can I watch moviw from my ipad to tv in full screen ?

    Sync it to your computer:

    You'll need to do that to burn it to a DVD, and a sync via iTunes is probably the most direct method.

  • Can I delete purchased movies from my iPad to save space once it has been synced to iCloud

    Hi,
    I have 2 movies that I purchased on my iPad - The space is cramped now and I'm deleting apps to download new items.  I am not to familiar with the iCloud and I see my movies in there on the iMac - am I now able to delete these purchased movies off my iPad and still retain access to them through the iCloud (on my iPad)?  If so, how would I find them once I delete them? 
    Thank you for your help!!
    Beth

    Hi Beth,
    Yes, you can delete them from your iPad. If you want to re-download them in future, you would click on the iTunes app, then on More>Purchased>Movies>Not on this iPad, and then would click on the little cloud to the right of the movie you want to re-download.
    Cheers,

  • Can a guest stream music from his ipad to my apple tv 2nd gen?

    I assume he has to be logged into my network.  if so, can we choose his library w/out having to do so using the TV?  I only have apple tv connected to my audio receiver and not my tv.

    In theory I think this should work, as Home Sharing is separate to Airtunes/Airplay.
    The AppleTV being Airplay capable should broadcast this service availability over the network.  Friend should be able to detect it and Airplay provided he's connected to your local network over wi-fi, though he clearly won't see your Home Share content on his iPad unless you configure that for him which from the sounds of it you don't want to do anyway.

  • I downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad.  Can i stream the downloaded movie from my iPad to itv?

    I downloaded a movie onto my ipad from itunes.  Can I play that movie from my ipad through itv onto my tv?

    Yes, bring up the movie controls and if you're on the same network as the ATV you will see the airplay icon. Tap it and select ATV.

  • Streaming movies from iPad to apple tv

    Hi
    I have just updated my iPad software to the new iso.
    I am trying to stream movies from my iPad to the new apple tv but I can only hear the sound and I don't get the actual vedio.
    The main reason why I got the apple tv was that I would be able to stream vedio to the tv from my iPad.
    Please let me know what I need to do.
    Thanks
    Itai

    I am with you on that. I can stream music from the iPad straight to the home cinema system through apple tv. I can also use the iPad as a remote to stream movies and pics from the Mac.
    But can't seem to throw movies or photos directly from the iPad to the screen via apple tv.
    Another annoyance is that as I type this from the iPad the cursor clicks can be heard through my home ent system as I am streaming music from my iPad simultaneously.
    Any help!

  • HT4799 can I stream movies from Amazon Prime and watch on my TV through Apple TV?

    No, you will need to purchase your content from iTunes instead.

  • Work around for streaming movies from time capsules/attached external HD

    Can someone tell me how you can stream movies to iPhone/iPad/ATV3 from external HD attached to time capsule via an app or other method ?

    This is just a general comment.. There are no apps for TC.. it is not a media player, so it cannot stream to anything.. if you store media files on the TC there has to be a player.. So you have to use a computer.. or possibly the ipad.. which will need a file browser app and a player app, but you do not stream to it.. you stream from it.

  • Streaming movies from Time Capsule to Apple TV without opened iTunes Library

    Hello !
    It is possible to streaming movies from my Time Capsule without using Mac or iPhone like streaming device
    For example ( I am using Time Capsule for movies Libary, Apple TV for streaming movies, but when i have MacBook Pro off, my iTunes Libary is off and i can't  streamimg my movies directly)
    It is possible streaming Movies on my Apple TV without opened iTunes on my Mac ? I mean if it is possible streaming directly from TC to Apple TV, when Libary it on TC.
    Thank you for your answears.

    Hi,
    you can stream from the Time Capsule, but must always have a player in the middle, either an iOS device or a mac compatible with video airplay.
    If you want to use an iOS device, you can get the app FileBrowser. This allows your device to stream videos from the timecapsule, play them, and play on the AppleTV.
    As erfurtivo said, O!play works perfectly with the TimeCapsule, if you don't want more devices in-between.
    Hope this helped
