How can I get my itunes songs to show up on my apple tv2 from my ipad?

I just bought apple tv and an ipad.  I set up home sharing.  When I am using apple tv, I can see my itunes songs/playlists on my tv as long as my HP laptop is on.  But if I have my laptop off, and my ipad2 on, i cannot see my songs on my tv.  I have to use my ipad 2 in order to navigate through the songs.  Any ideas? 
Also as a side question, It seems that the picture quality on my ipad 2 is not very good.  Meaning, I took a picure with a professional camera and saved it to my ipad.  Then I used it for my background on my ipad but it is very grainy.  Is this normal?
Thanks

Regarding your first question. That is the correct behaviour. Apple TV can only see and play media that is being shared by a compurter running iTunes. It will not see the media on your iPad. You can however use Airplay to play the media on your iPad on your Apple TV. If you download and install the Apple Remote app on to your iPad you can use that to remote control your iTunes library playback on your computer or Apple TV.
Regarding your second question. Try creating a version of the image that is the same native resolution as the iPad's screen which is 1024 x 768 pixels. Also, save it as a JPEG or PNG file for best results.

  • How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud?

    How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud?  The RSS feeds now show up just fine on my iMac. 
    On my iMac the appear in a category at the same level as In Box, Sent, etc.  However the term RSS is in lighter grey like Mailboxes, On My Mac, Reminders.  I use Snow Leopard 10.7.5.  Any help will be appreciated as I'd like to read the feeds on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5 when I'm away from home.
    Thank you.

    This is helpful, but how do you get both devices to communicate to this single calendar via the iCloud?...
    You did not mention that it must be through iCloud.  But then, it can't really do so if you want to maintain separate Apple IDs.
    So you just set up an additional calendar on your devices.
    iPads, iPhone, Macs can show multiple calendars simultaneously.  I have my work calendar and several personal calendars all showing simultaneously on my iPad, Mac Mini and Macbook Pro.   In the case of my client, they didn't need multiple calendars.  They just were going to use the one shared calendar.  But I did setup the shared Google calendar and separate personal caldendars on their iPhones.  (e.g.: Husband's iPhone = husband's personal Mac Cal + shared Google Calendar.  Wife's iPhone = wife's personal Outlook for Windows Cal + shared Google Calendar.)

  • How can I get a full screen on my tv when i am mirroring from my ipad 2

    how can I get a full screen on my tv when I am mirroring from my ipad 2?

    You woul dprobably need to choose a zoom display mode on the TV.
    Any screem shots / promos for mirroring I've seen have been 4:3 ratio like the iPad screen resolution.
    To me this would be an obvious source of frustration to users of 16:9 TVs - unless there's an ipad 2 mode to somehow run in 16:9 not using the whole screen or not displaying the edges for mirroring, AppleTV2 may not be able to fill the screen

  • How can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up but song and artist?

    how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
    Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?

  • HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

    i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

    first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

  • How can I get the iTunes music on my phone on my computer as well? Some of it is there but not everything...

    How can I get the iTunes music on my phone on my computer as well? Some of it is there but not everything...

    I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks).  Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window.  I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box.  When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window.  It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.
