Can you stream Netflix from an iPad to Apple TV?

Hi,
We have a relatively small TV set and sit relatively far away from it. Therefore making Netflix choices with Apple TV and remote is difficult, since the print is too small. It would be way easier to make Netflix choices with the iPad on my lap, and have the iPad stream the movie to ATV.
Airplay works well with Apple apps like iTunes & iPhoto, but does it work with non Apple apps? If so, how does one get it to work?
Thanks,
Klaus

No.
Time Machine is an application.
Time Capsule is hardware (what you have).
As suggested, you download them to iTunes and they will work fine on the AppleTV.
So, what I was wondering, is it possible to stream from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV, i.e. use Time Machine to store your movies for Apple TV?
Yes but you need a computer running iTunes.

  • Can you stream movies from time machine to apple tv

    Can you stream purchased movies from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV?
    I have both an Apple TV and an Apple Time Machine. Both great devices BUT my internet connection is not great and apparently, the telephone exchange needs to be upgraded in order for it to improve and right now, the phone company has no plans to upgrade the exchange . So, I've bought movies from Apple TV and have downloaded them (using Apple TV) and watched them. They seem to stay on Apple TV for a few days before they need to be downloaded again if I (actually my kids) want to watch the movie again. Problem is, it takes about 15 hours to download a regular movie due to the poor internet connection. My kids don't have that much patience. I know I can download a movie onto my Mac and stream it from there to Apple TV but that means I have to have the Mac available. Since I work at an office and take my MacBook to use at work, it isn't always there for the kids to get their daily Frozen hit. See the issue I face? Apple TV and Apple Tme Machine are great devices. Can they be used in conjunction with one another?

  • Can I stream Xfinity from my Ipad to Apple TV

    I just purchased Apple TV and I want to sent my Xfinity content from my Ipad to my TV. I thought I could do this with Airplay but I can't find any instructions on how to do so.

    I with you on this one Harry. That's is just ridiculous option. What 50 different network apps to forever toggle on and off. Perpetual searching through showtime listings. The technology is there and being created by innovative, amazing people and companies. And it's all being held back (and our freedom to create at personal entertainment ecosystem that works for us as individuals) by a few of these cable companies. They're bloated, grotesquely outdated, Poorly serviced and immensly over-priced. The potential is already there. Better service by better companies. MUCH faster speeds are capable. Better quality products. And more importantly, freedom to have what you want, the way you want in. All of this is being throttled by cable companies. You could go on and on. FCC's no better. Typical story. Regulated agencies with too much, money, power and influence.  Blah blah blah.
    Anyway, Comcast are a bunch of hacks. Why can't I AirPlay from the app on my iPad. Why? Give me a valid reason? I look forward to the day that something/someone razes that crappy empire and it's lifetime if executives to the ground and there's nothing left but rubble.

    Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
    No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.
