Connecting Apple iPhones directly to a HDTV?

Hello.
Is anyone using h(is/er) iPhones (e.g., 4S and 6+) connected to a HDTV (e.g., Vizio M801D-A3 [has no BlueTooth]) to watch videos like a computer/laptop/notebook? If so, then how are you doing it? Through a cable, wireless, etc.?
Thank you in advance.

You need at least an Apple TV 2, the first one will not work. You can also buy the digital adapter and connect with an HDMI cable if your TV supports it.
If your TV supports BluRay I would go with an Apple TV 3.
Thanks. It would be mainly for portability.

  • Can we connect Apple TV directly in a Cogeco cable decoder?

    Is it possible to connect Apple TV directly il a Cogeco cable decoder and tranfer registred tv show from decoder to Apple tv and then to Mac Book Pro, Ipad or Iphone?

    no
    AppleTV has one type of input, network, either wireless or ethernet cable. It can play media from supported internet sites (apple, netflix, youtube and few others) or your iTunes on your PC or Mac.
    AppleTV has two outputs. HDMI to a TV (or HDMI switcher, like a receiver) and toslink fibre audio to a TV or receiver.

  • How to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.

    Trying to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.  Can I use a simple cable or do I need a converter box/plug? Is the HDMI signal coming from ATV encrypted or HDCP enabled?
    The TV is HD, but only has a component input and not HDMI.  Apple TV 2g only has HDMI output.

    google component hdmi converter
    but they are pretty expensive and may not work at all
    and will not work with any DRM material as in movies you reant and maybe netflix and the sports thingy

  • When I connect my iphone directly to my receiver then connect to spotify, it plays through both speakers but when I connect wirelessly through airport express it only comes out through one speaker. Any thoughts?

  • How to connect apple tv directly to computer using ethernet

    ok so im trying to figure out a way to plug in the Apple TV directly to my computers Ethernet port for direct streaming.  I am not allowed to use a router(College) so the only way i can possibly hook the Apple tv is directly through my computer ethernet.  My desktop has wireless so i dont need the port for internet.  I understand i wont have access to youtube or other internet content..thats fine.  Streaming is more important to me then that stuff.
    I have a PC desktop.  Any and all advice would be helpful.  Im assuming there is some setting on the desktop in order for me to tell the computer that the ethernet port is for streaming.
    Thanks,

    Just use a switch or hub

  • Is there any way to connect an iPhone to an external hard drive without the use of a computer?

    Hello All,
    I am planning to travel to Central America, and I want to take pictures with my iPhone. I only have 8 GB memory, so I wanted to take my 1 TB WD Mac External Hard Drive with me on the trip. Is there any way I can connect my iPhone directly to the external hard drive, without the use of a computer? Thanks in advance!

    The external hard drive has only one input port which is usb, so you can only use usb here. Also try considering online storage.

  • Connect between iPhone & PC/Mac problem

    No connection between iPhone & PC/Mac, but after try to connect the iPhone direct to power supply it's OK & charging. I don't think so it's because of cable connection. Somebody know who to soft this problem? Help!!!

    You mean that using the same cable (USB <-> Dock connector), when you plug to the wall, it charges, and when you plug to your PC, it does not charge ?
    Did you ever use the USB port for anything else ?
    Connecting the iPhone to the Mac do not even switch to charging state ?
    You may need to return your iPhone for repair.

  • TS1538 I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.

    I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.

    Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
    Try a different port on the computer.
    Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
    Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
    Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
    Upgrade itunes to newest version.
    Is you USB cord defective ?
    Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
    Delete or Disable  any antivirus program on your computer ?
    I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
    We could do this for hours.

    Hi jenette,
    If you are having issues using an HDTV via HDMI as an external display to your MacBook Air, you may find the following article helpful:

    (Note: You will generally only see the arrangement option in Displays when you are configured to use the external display in Extended Desktop mode; there is no arrangement in Mirroring as both screens are showing the same image.)

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

  • How to connect my iPhone and iPad to Apple TV

    How to connect my iPhone and iPad to Apple TV

    Connect the iPad and Apple TV to the same WiFi network. Double Tab the home button on the iPad and then swipe your recently used apps from left to right until you see the mirroring icon which looks like a retangle with an up arrow. Tab that icon until you see the Apple TV. Tab Apple TV and slide the slider to the ON position. You should now see your iPad screen on the TV the Apple TV is connected to.
