How can I plug my phone or iPad into my Samsung hd plasma tv and watch movies I've downloaded from iTunes?
We are trying to watch avengers on our samsung hd plasma 1080i. I plugged USB into tv and phone. Selected the wise link option on my remote. Tv says nothing is plugged in. I have an iPhone and an iPad. So I can do either product for the download. If someone out there knows what I am doing wrong please tell me. Maybe I am using the wrong plug?? Just using phone charger plug in with USB on other end.
As Rudegar pointed out, the AV cable is an adequate option. But another option is to purchase an Apple TV. That's the only way to use Airplay from an iOS device (for now). I'm pretty sure no OEM TV's support Apple's Airplay technology as of yet. Apple wants you to purchase the Apple TV so don't hold out hope that they'll license the tech to TV manufacturers any time soon.
Check out Apple's demo of Airplay on their website and see if that's an option you might like. The AV cable is cheaper but IMO a cable of any kind is a cumbersome work around. And the Apple TV allows you to also play music and look at your pictures from any iOS device as well.
Re: your other question: "Can I see my iPad on the TV in general when hooked up?". The answer is, "Not yet". Only the "output" (IE: music, video, slideshows) can be seen through Airplay or the AV cable. You can't use the TV as a second monitor for your iOS device.
Lastly, you can't "break" your device simply by trying to hook it up to your TV. I had the same issue with my father this holiday with trying to convince him he couldn't break his camera by trying to hook it directly up via the USB connector on the TV.

The airplay icon has disappeared from my MAC desktop. It was there two weeks ago when I successfully used it to 'flick a movie i had purchased from iTunes over to my tv. Also, if I rent the movie through iTunes, why (because of the above issue) when I go to 'Purchased' it doesn't display as an option when actually using Apple TV, it doesn't display but when I go to rent it again a message comes up saying "you have already rented this movie, do you want to rent it again"? Frustrated!!
Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...

how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?
Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files. To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
Then copy
Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank -
my computer with itunes zapped by lightning. cannot access itunes files. how can i transfer my music on my iphone to a new computer. much of it was not purchased from itunes store
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy?
If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.
Itunes purchases can be transferred to your computer: File>Transfer Purchases. -
how can i tell if someone is logging into my find my iphone account and how can i find out who it is? Can I add a second layer of password security for Find My iphone?
Nobody can log in to your iCloud account unless you gave them your password. There is no other way.
If you shared your password with someone (not a good idea) and no longer want them to have access to your account, change the password and don't share it again. -
My movie I recently downloaded from itunes "Act of Valor" only works for a out 5 chapters, then it stops working. Other movies work on my iPod touch. How do I fix this issue? If I can't, can I get my money back?
- Go here and see if you can redownload the movies. If you can then delete the movie and redownlod it.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Otherwise, contact iTunes and explain your problem. They should allow a free redownload. -
I want to transfer movies I have downloaded from iTunes from my iPhone 5 to a flash drive to be able to use when I have no wifi on my iPad,when power is out etc ?
If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 -
how do i access movies I have downloaded from itunes and permanently erase them from my cloud?
Hey okapi22,
Thanks for the question. Assuming you are attempting to clear up iCloud storage, it's important to note that iTunes purchases do not count against this storage. For more information, see the following:
Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, app data and documents stored in iCloud, and iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account).
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
Additionally, you are not able to delete purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, but you are able to hide them. Take a look at the following article:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

Thanks,

I am new to apple products. Have a Window 7 PC, I phone 4s and Ipad . I want to move an audio book purcahsed on the Ipad to my I phone so I signed up for the cloud because it said what I described above would be possible. How do I do it? Also, how can I see exactly what is in "my Cloud" and selectively downloard the bits and pieces of what is in m cloud to a particular device. Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone.
Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again? Is there some way around this? I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand. It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet? Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done? -
I have uploaded photos from my brother's camera while on vacation to my iPad (1). Now that I wish to add even more photos to the iPad, iTunes say that it will replace all the photos once I sync again to add from an album on the iMac.
WHOA.
I'd like to upload the photos to the iMac! HOw can I do that?
How can I add photos from albums on the iMac and not lose the ones I currently have stored onthe iPad.
I cannot find this task addressed in any Help reference.
I do not understand why I cannot make a simple file transfer back and forth.
Many thanks!Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How can I go back the same song that was playing when I switched and watched a movie?
How can I go back to the same song and place in the song that was playing when I started watching a movie? I have over 6k songs and now my ipod always goes back to #1 even though I may have been listening to # 321. How do I ever get to listen to all my songs. Yes I have it on random but if I look at the songs I have played lots of them have played 15-20 times amd many more 6-8 times. At this point I don't feel I will ever hear the latest songs I added.
Any help will be greately appreciated. Also is it possible to do the same on the new ipod classic 160?One area that this appears is on Facebook where it lists the number of Recognized Devices. There are six devices which include iPad and iPhone. These items are grayed and you are unable to change. Also on my iphone it lists the computer name. This name is different from name of my computer. It's what I signed in as when I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I know I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. I have searched everywhere on my computer that I can think of and cannot locate where this is used. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I want to transfer a movie I have bought in itunes to my new IPAD. I have been trying to work how to do this for 3 days now. I have accessed all the itunes help and forums and wiki online. They all tell me to go to the DEVICES tab on itunes and select IPAD then sync. YUP seem simple, BUT there is not DEVICES tab listed on my itunes and it does not list IPAD. Years ago I set up my IPOD no problem and that is listed, but not the new IPAD. Can anyone help? I would love to be able to actually watch films on my IPAD!! thanks

Movie Won't Download from iTunes on iPad
I recently purchased two movies from iTunes using a gift card I got for Christmas. I started the download and once the first movie got too about 3.2 GB of 6.2' it stopped and started over for no apparent reason. I tried multiple times to download both movies with no luck the first 24 hours. Was hoping to have it for my flight for my vacation. Over the course of the next three days I have tried downloading the first movie at least 15 times on various WiFi networks, It always begins the download and then either restarts it on it's own or now gives me an error message saying the movie cannot be downloaded at this time, please try again later. I finally got the second movie to download after 10 attempts, but still no luck with the first. I know for certain I had a continuous WiFi connection every time. I am EXTREMELY frustrated at this point. I still have remaining dollars to spend from my gift card, but figure why even bother? I really hope someone can give me an idea which works. So far I have deleted the beginning download on multiple occasions and also tried restarting after this 4 times and nothing seems to work.
I have been having this problem since iOS 7 released. I have a 32gb 3rd gen iPad. I seem to have some artificial cap of 7 items from iTunes on my iPad at once. Even with 6 movies I have 5.8gb left. I only download the SD versions.
As soon as I hit 7 movies/tv shows on my iPad downloads fail almost 100% of the time. They get near the end, freeze and then loop. Ocassionally I'll get a "Unable to download" error but most times it just keeps going over and over. Not only do I have this extremely annoying issue, but during this problem my iPad becomes nearly unusable. While downloading, my iPad runs so poorly I'll open my cover or press the wake button and the screen will remain off. I can press both buttons, open/close the cover and NOTHING. It will stay like that for a minute sometimes. IF it becomes usable apps will take 30 seconds just to open/close, scrolling is unresponsive for many seconds at a time and then scrolls all at once. It almost as if the download is using all of the CPU's power.
I have 253 movies I've bought in iTunes. I own 6 Apple TV's, 2 Retina Macbooks, 1 iMac, 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. iTunes works great on all of those devices minus my iPad. My wife's, which is the same model minus a cell connection is fine. I am extremely annoyed with this problem. I've started to loathe using my iPad and thats just rediculous.
If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears, I've tried these fixes:
Erased all content/settings and restored from iCloud Back up
Erased all content/settings and restored but DID NOT use iCloud back up. (I did notice downloads worked great for the first few weeks, then went to crap.)
Tried force restarting the iPad when its acting up
Used my Time Capsule's Wifi - No change
Used my guest network from my Netgear router - No Change
Used my parent's wifi today - No change.
This doesnt seem to be a widespread problem, I've had trouble finding help on these forums. Apple is constantly silent and most other users never reply with the same problem. I'm close to giving up and getting a replacement from Square Trade. I will not buy a new iPad less than two years after getting that one, mainly out of protest. I have little confidence in the Air doing much better or lasting longer than this current one. -
Can movies/music be downloaded from Itunes in Bahamas?
It appears as though Itunes is only available in countries not including The Bahamas. Is it impossible to access Itunes from The Bahamas in order to download music and movies? If so, if I am in the USA, should I download content from Itunes to icloud and access the content in The Bahamas from Icloud - is this possible?
SBCallender,
To make purchases from the iTunes USA Store, you must be in the USA, as noted in the Terms and Conditions:
"The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
However, once you buy something, you can take it with you wherever you go. Buy what you need while you are still in the USA, and take it with you. Personally, I would not trust iCloud for this. Instead use a flash drive, iPod/iPad, or laptop.
Also, while you are in the Bahamas, you may purchase CDs and rip them, or you may check and see what MP3 stores are available there. You may purchase MP3s from any available online source and add them to your iTunes library.
