Do ANY apps allow airplay?

The title of this thread states everything. I have been perusing a lot of these threads for quite some time now, and here's why: I got the AppleTV today and was very excited. Now I could buy and rent shows/movies and play anything from my iPad!! I was very confused when I tried to play a movie on HBO GO and all I got was the audio on my screen.
After troubleshooting and trying to read up, I found out that AirPlay for HBO GO is blocked!
And Amazon...
And Hulu...
And Youtube through my Safari....
And basically ANYTHING I tried to play.
So here's the million dollar question. Why in the world should I not return this right now? I feel like Apple has an amazing product on their hands, considering the amount of people with an iPhone or iPad. But... why should we buy this if we can't stream anything?
Let's make one thing very clear. If I returned this tomorrow and took my hundred bucks, I wouldn't be mad at Apple. But... really? This sound of this Apple TV made me so excited, and I can't help but feel let down by the amount of potential amazing video data being blocked from AirPlay.
Sorry for the wall of text, and I really would appreciate it if someone could honestly tell me why (or maybe why not) I should stick with this purchase and not return it. I have a Playstation3, as well as a laptop with an HDMI cord I can connect to the TV. So I can already do this with either of those. The main thing for me was the luxury of not having to hook up the computer to the TV.

None of the streaming sites I know of have any sort of remote capability. Use one of the VNC apps and take control of your Mac's screen. Then you can control any application you wish.
Regards.

  • Any app allow to change app's name?

    I have looking for it, some of the app name too long. How do i able to rename it?

    This means the apps are unofficial and requires hacking the iPhone to install and use them. There have been reports about malware being included with unofficial software downloaded and installed from unknown and untrusted sources with a hacked iPhone. You are certainly accustomed to constant virus, adware, and malware concerns with Windows, but not worth it to me to change the name of an iPhone app which may render an official app unusable.

    I am a librarian at a 1:1 iPad school and we are having this problem with all ~3000 student iPads as well at ~300 teacher iPads.  This is extremely frustrating.  I have tried suggested fixes found on other discussion boards but none have worked.

    I'm sure you purchased it since no one else would have your password to download apps
    Make sure your CC has funds on it and its up to date on your itunes store account.

    You will need to sign into your account using the iTunes app on your Mac or PC and change the region/country for your account. If you do not have a bank card for the new country, you should be able to make purchases with iTunes Gift Cards if they are available in the new country.

  • Any app audio through Airplay no longer works on ipad2 after 5.1.1 update. Working Airplay on my iphone.

    I have a working Airplay connection to my Pioneer VSX-1021 Receiver. My iPhone 3GS and iTunes on my PC connect and send audio with no issues.
    On the ipad2 through the music app for instance, I am able to select the Receiver as an Airplay destination but the blue Airplay icon soon goes white and it defaults back to iPad. The scrub bar and time counter never advance. Similar results with Garage Band. Settings on ipad and iphone are the same.
    I have noticed this since upgrading to 5.1.1 but it could have been this way prior to the upgrade.
    Any ideas?

    Honestly, this is a WAG but try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?

    Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only (not minutes, no extra charge) that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?  Just for random local calling.

    Yup.
    Here is a way you could solve this by adding an extra column and a small lookup table:
    The lookup table is here for the copying:
    0
    1
    k
    kilo
    2
    M
    mega
    3
    G
    giga
    4
    T
    tera
    5
    P
    peta
    6
    E
    exa
    7
    Z
    zetta
    8
    Y
    yotta
    In table 8 (the one on the left in the image) column A is where the values are. 
    B1=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
    =A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    select cell B1, copy,
    now select all the cells in column B, paste

  • E-mail Attachments are only allowing me to open in e-mail as opposed to PDF, PPT, GIF or any app that is relevant to the attachment.

    E-mail Attachments are only allowing me to open in e-mail as opposed to PDF, PPT, GIF or any app that is relevant to the attachment.

    Meaning if you use the "tap and hold down on the attachment" you are not getting the "Open In" option? Or should we just keep guessing about what might be happening?
    If that is what is happening, deom the home screen .... quit the mail app completely in the recent tray by double tapping the home button to bring up the recents tray - and then tap and hold down on the mail app icon in the recent tray until it wiggles, then tap the red minus sign to quit the app. Restart the iPad and then try the "tap and hold down" on an attachment again.
    If you mean that something else is wrong or happening - share the information.

    How could I put this in as a feature request? Should I try to find the existing bug in bugzilla and comment on that, or should I open a new bug? I would really love to see this happen, I think it is a worthwhile and usefult feature.
    I tried searching bugzilla for a bit but I could not find the relevant bug. If you know it, please link to it.
    Thanks!

  • My iPhone 3S will not allow me to upgrade. I can't download any apps and when I connected my iPhone to iTunes and tried to upgrade it, it said it was already updated. On top of that, WiFi does not work with my iPhone. What do I do to fix this?

    My dad got this iPhone for me a few months ago as a gift since I had a really awful phone before.  The only thing is, I can't seem to upgrade it to the latest software without it telling me it's already updated to iOS 4 or something like that.  (I would be able to give you the exact iOS version, but ever since connecting my iPhone to iTunes, my phone isn't responding so I can't check the settings or anything.)  I can't download any apps (I get an error message saying the software on my phone is too old) and so I pretty much am extremely limited to what I can do on this phone.  I'm very frustrated at this point and incredibly displeased with Apple's products.
    If someone could please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it, I'd be extremely grateful.
    Thanks.

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.
