Does ANY player BESIDES iTunes stream from my iPad 2!?!?

I have an iPad 2 iOS 4.3.3 and apple tv 2 with latest update.I have tried buzz player,servio,vlc streamer but all I get is audio on my apple tv. I am extremely frustrated as I bought the apple tv for this purpose and feel I just paid for a useless audio player , as I don't want to listen to music on my tv.
Does anyone have any actual,useful experience with this that can sort me out?
What am I missing here? Before I bought it I read up on it and did not think I would experience this problem.

No that's not what i'm saying at all. A lot of 3rd party apps DO work, every single one i've tried has. iTunes may sell them, but they don't make them (hence 3rd party) and have no control over whether the developer enables video airplay. No you shouldn't need to know what API's are, but i'm merely pointing out that Apple released the function to developers and that it's then in their court.
It's not the product that's faulty in this case.
You would need to ask a developer why they make false claims. I have never seen one, but sometimes it may slip by.
Upgrading is a good general practice, and no it isn't of 'limited functionality'. You can mirror almost anything to the ATV. I've only seen a few that have blocked it, and it's for licensing reasons which is out of Apple's control.
Just because you don't like an answer doesn't mean it's unhelpful. Enough said.

  • HT1766 An Apple consultant said I could get rid of itune playlist from my ipad by connecting the cable from my ipad to a computer that does not have songs from itunes in its computer. I was not able to do it. Any suggestions?

    How do you get rid of itunes playlist from my ipad? I was told you can sync it back to a computer that does not have any itunes songs. It did not work.

    I'm sure I don't completely understand the question.
    How to get rid of an iTunes playlist from your iPad? Just delete the items while using iTunes. The next time you sync, they'll be gone from your playlist.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Is there any way to get itunes music from my ipad to my ipod without a computer and only 4g?

    Lets say you have an ipad (a new one) and an ipod.  Thats all you have.  The ipad has 4g.  You can have access to other small hardware devices like cables and stuff but no other computer like device and no wifi internet.
    Is it possible to get itunes music from the ipad and onto the ipod with just this?

    Would those work if I am using the 4g wifi hotspot on the ipad to get the music onto an ipod touch?  I am willing to give up third party music if this would work. Just not sure if it would work since the 4g wifi has that 50mb restriction

  • Streaming from your iPad, iphone etc

    Hey guys,
    I recently got Apple TV for Christmas and thus far I have been pretty happy with it. My only issue is streaming directly from my iPad. I can use Airplay remote to use my iPad as a remote. This is pretty cool but according to the apple website I can directly stream from the iPad by tapping the airPlay icon all the way to right of the ipad's video menu bar which gives you the option of using the iPad or Apple TV. Once I hit Apple TV I can hear the sound but I only get an icon for the video not the actual video play back from the iPad; the iPad has the paused video from where ever I tapped airplay. Any suggestions? I checked the website and am doing all the stuff they say to, but I don't get the screen that says that the video is playing on Apple TV on my ipad.

    Video playback is currently only supported through youtube, itunes or recorded through the IOS device (eg. iphones). The next software update will provide support for 3rd party apps. I have begun converting some my collection of dvds to itunes formats to be able to do this. A very good converter I found specifically for this with specialised Apple tv2 presets is called Handbrake.

  • I can't access the itunes store from my ipad mini after the iOS7 update

    it seems very laggy and slow on somethings and super fast on others
    Come on Apple get yer finger out and sort this out soon, its you thats loosing my cash as I cant buy any music!!!
    I have an Ipad mini.

  • Can I stream from my iPad to multiple airport express points?

    I have just set up 3 airport expresses around the home and have worked out how to use the laptop (holding my iTunes library) and the home sharing function to stream the music to the 3 speaker points and control the volume individually.  I have also got the Remote App that makes me more in control.
    Am I able to effectively lose the laptop from the set up and stream from my iPad to the 3 speaker points and control the volume at each? It just seems logical that it should be possible becasue what is the point of having the laptop on when I have the whole library on the iPad.
    Any advice would be great, thanks.

    Then perhaps I misunderstood this line with my poor Englsih.
    Currently, you can only stream media from Apple-sanctioned apps like YouTube, though Sadun notes that this field widens if you choose to jailbreak your device and install AirVideoEnabler.
    As the resident expert, would you tell us which apps to download and install on which device. I find it a bit confusing.

  • I just had to have my toshiba laptop hard drive replaced and I am unable to move my itunes library from my ipad back to the laptop.  It says it is linked to another library  and I can only transfer purchased music etc and not the rest of the library.Help!

    I have just had my Toshiba laptop hard drive replaced. This has resulted in all previous content held on the laptop to be lost.   I wanted to try and transfer my music library from my ipad to the laptop, but it will not allow me to do so.  The message is that the ipad is linked to another computer and it will only allow the transfer of the items purchased on through the ipad and nothing else.  Does anyone know if the full library can be transferred back to the computer?

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

    how do I move my itunes library from an iPad to my new MacbookAir

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How do i wirlessly stream from my ipad?

    how do i wirlessly stream from my ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    That largely depends on which iPad you have. The iPad 1 is capable of basic airplay only, later iPads are capable of basic airplay and airplay mirroring.
    When using basic airplay, any content you play that is compatible will display the airplay icon in its control bar, when you tap this and select the Apple TV it will stream that content to the Apple TV. Unfortunately, not all apps and websites are enabled for basic airplay, in addition to which some may be enabled for audio but not video, however that being said the quality of basic airplay is generally higher than that for mirroring, and is therefore preferable if available.
    If your iPad supports mirroring;
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPhone 4s, double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • HT4437 Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Can you use airplay to stream from an iPad to a TV with a network connection without internet access

    Yes, you can use a network storage device for the storage of your content and use it on the Apple TV, but only as part of your iTunes library. So if your question is whether or not you can do this without using your computer or iTunes the answer is no.
