How to stream from iPad to apple tv via airport express with the airport express being connected to the internet

I have an apple tv, iPad 3 and airport express. Im at school and the apple tv is technically not supported by the network. Ive read that one could use AirPlay to apple tv via AE.
Can someone help me make this work? Step by step process if possible.
Thanks in advance,

The router does provide WIFI, but the thing is the Apple TV will be out of reach. I want to avoid having two routers / networks. That's why Apple TV is hardwired. The AirPort (also hardwired) should only work as a receiver for the iPhone - streaming iPhone content to the Apple TV.
BOTH the Apple TV and the AirPort Express are AirPlay "speakers." That is, you can stream from iTunes to either device. You don't need both if the Apple TV is hardwired to an existing router. That provided the necessary networking for AirPlay to stream over. Wi-Fi is NOT required for AirPlay if you have a wired connection between the AirPlay "server" (i.e., iTunes host) and the AirPlay "speaker."
The Apple TV would work as a "receiver" for your iPhone.
If AirPlay is an application layer software, how may two AirPlay device communicate directly? Normally all communication is relayed by the access point.
AirPlay is a streaming protocol that runs over TCP/IP. AirPlay "speakers" DO NOT communicate with each other directly. The basic communication path is between an AirPlay "server" and an AirPlay "speaker" or multiple "speakers." Again the path between them can be either be wired or wireless or some combination of each.

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • Streaming iCloud movie from iPad to Apple TV via AirPlay resulted no picture but sound.

    I notice that movie (iTunes purchased) that store in my iPad 2 when AirPlay to Apple TV 3 everything fine but for iCloud movie streaming (iTunes purchased that store in iCloud), I only manage to get sound from Apple TV 3, no picture. Apple TV only displayed running time. This happen after Apple TV new updates few days ago. Before update, everything is fine.
    I used iPad 2 to stream iCloud movies to Apple TV because the streaming is much faster than using Apple TV 3 own streaming which some times the buffer took quite some times to load.
    And why on my iPad 2 which still running iOS 5.1.1 the AirPlay icon missing the Mirroring on/off icon. In AirPlay I can only choose iPad or Apple TV but without the Mirroring on/off icon.
    If I AirPlay iTunes purchases movies (iCloud Streaming) to Apple TV, my Pioneer AV amp decode Dolby Digital 5.1 but if I connect using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI into Pioneer AV amp, I only manage to get PCM Stereo track.
    If the iTunes purchases movies have been downloaded and store on my iPad 2, then either AirPlay or using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI, my Pioneer AV decode Dolby Digital 5.1
    I planning to purchase Mac Mini for storage iTunes purchases movies and listening music plus some PC users. Should I ditch Apple TV or should I use both ?

    That app has not been enabled for airplay, it is up to the developer to do so

  • Send music from IPad 3 to aplifier via AirPort Express

    1. Have my PC and WLAN Box in the "working room"; connected AirPort Express to the WLAN Box, Installed Airport Installer (version 5.6.1.2)
    2. went throgh the installation process, installed iTunes, There I could finde the AirPort Express Box,
    3. Though I moved the box to my living room (no more direct network connection to WLAN box), Box showed still a green lamp
    4. linked the AirPort Express Box with the B&O (Beosound 3000) via AUX
    5. Can choose on iTunes between sound on PC or Airport Express (choosed both)
    6. Installed remote App on the IPad and everything works fine
    Now I wonder, if i can connect directly to the amplifier without the PC?
    1. installed AirPort App on the IPad
    2. In the app it shows a green internet connection, but searching for AirPort Express it does not find the box
    Has anybody a clue what could be the reason for this?

    Thank you for the information.
    Please try the following:
    Bring the iPad into the same room as the AirPort Express.
    Open the Music app; select the Radio option and play any song for the test.
    While the song is playing verify that it can be heard from your iPad.
    If it can, scroll up on the iPad to reveal the Command Center.
    Do you see the AirPlay icon in the Command Center window?
    If it does not, please check out the following Apple Support article for help on troubleshooting streaming issues from an iOS device.

  • Only sound when I stream from iPad to Apple TV

    Hi I have a new iPad and I am currently using Apple TV 2 (first version). I just rented a movie from iTunes on the iPad. When I try to stream it to Apple TV I only get sound on my TV. The video stays on the iPad. When I try the same thing with videos I have on the iPad I get sound and video without a problem. The movie I rented was HD 1080p. The viedos on the Ipad are SD. I wonder if the reason is that the Apple TV 2 (first version) does not support 1080p? Or is there another problem?

    Before I posted my question yesterday I did check if I had the most currect software on all devices. I also restarded both devices and it did not work.
    When I retried one hour later however it suddenly worked like a charm. So waiting did the trick. I guess it's not the perfect solution if it works sometimes and does not the other times. So I am still hoping someone has an idea. Maybe I just have to wait for the next Software Updates and AirPlay ist not at 100% yet.

  • What websites let you stream from Ipad to apple tv

    I really want to stream full episodes from CBS.

    I don't think that website is optimized for iPad, and the developers have blocked the app from airplay. Each site, much like the apps, would need to enabled for airplay so its hard to say.

  • Why don't iTunes rented HD movies stream from ipad to apple tv?

    I have an apple tv and have an airport extreme wifi.  I have no problem streaming netflix or movies I rent on apple tv.  The issue I have is a movie rented on an ipad.  I downloaded it in the afternoon and can play it in the ipad but the moment I try to use airplay to show it on my tv screen thru ATV, the screen shows a status bar and it seems to be downloading something.  I though I could stream this without delay.

    If you allow it to take place, you'll see it build the buffer in the timeline itself.
    (YouTube movies are nowhere near the 4-5 Mbps of HD rentals/purchases)
    There will also presumably be an authorisation requirement with protected content.

  • How do I transfer (copy or move) Photo Stream from iPad 2 to Windows PC

    I understand how to transfer my camera roll from iPad to PC. I want to have the photos in my Photo Stream ALSO on my PC.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Hi spferreira,
    Photo Stream is not something you would transfer. It lives in iCloud and is pushed to devices and computers running iCloud that is signed on to the same iCloud account, and which have Photo Stream turned on. You would need to set up iCloud on your Windows Machine:
