HT204291 I cannot stream amazon prime to my tv? I can get sound but no video.

I am using my iPad and cannot stream amazon prime to the tv?
The sound comes thru but no video!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
Amazon have blocked both basic AirPlay and mirroring.

What site are you trying to watch? I just tested 3. The you tube app streams from the pad to apple tv fine, as long as the source video format is ok. Checked a site called funny or die.com. Most of the videosmthere stream to apple tv fine. A few have a different format, and do audio only. Netflix does not stream at all, but you can get to netflix directly from apple tv. Whether or not it streams is directly related to the format of the video. Some do, some dont.

I cannot get my ipod touch to airplay - I can get sound, but no picture that mimics what is on my ipod, any suggestions?

I cannot get my ipod touch to airplay - I an get sound, but no picture that mimics what I see on my ipod, such as the game I am playing, any suggestions?

Mirroring is only available on iPhone 4S and iPad (Gen 2 and 3). In regards to airplay (which is a separate feature to mirroring), not all apps are enabled and this is up to the developer.

HT204291 I can hear sound, but no video

I just hooked up my Apple TV - I have an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to do mirroring and I can hear sound, but no video. Any suggestions?

It Depends on the app you are trying to airplay. Most apps do not allow content to airplay with video and will disable the video so all you will hear is the audio. If the app you are using does not have a built in airplay function and you have to use the iphone to make it work than most likley that is the case as I described above.
It has to do with copyright protection and what the app is allowing apple to do.

Cannot play .cdr files. I get sound, but no video.

I have successfully copied a DVD to the MacintoshHD. It mounts, and I have followed the instructions here to have the .cdr file play in DVD Player (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1844704?start=0&tstart=0). When the DVD plays, there is no video, only sound.

I purchased an Apple TV and am pleased except. I have amazon prime and can get audio but no picture transfer. What is my problem?

I purchased an Apple TV and am pleased except I have Amazon prime and I am able to get audio but no video on the TV screen. I get audio and video on other sites so what am I doing wrong?

That is normal. The developer has to enable this, Amazon has chosen not to.

Sound, but no video when streaming a quicktime file through shockwave

When I stream a quicktime movie in the html file hosted on localhost using the Apache server, I get sound but no video. I saved the quicktime movie as part of my cast, linked to http://localhost/~username/mymovie.mov
When I play the quicktime movie itself in my browser, or in a projector, or just within director, the video and sound play simultaneously. But in the browser after converting the dir movie to a dcr and html file, and hosting the dcr and html files on the server, when I open the html file in my browser, only the sound plays. Anyone else encounter similar problems? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi guys,
here's some quick notes on how I handle shockwave videos with my projects.
I tend to find that .swf format videos work best under all browsers using shockwave
easiest way:
you can do a standard import of a .swf video straight into a your cast. (not linked)
the problem with this is it tends to create a large dcr file for you users to download
'preloadnetthing' way:
upload your videos to a url location - something like www.mywebsite.com/the_programs_title/dsmedia/videos/video1.swf
(I never use capital letters or spaces)
file - import - internet - <enter the full url pathname to the file>
this will add the file to the add list
set media to : Link to External File (Don't use Standard Import)
now press Import
at this point Director will try to connect to your url - and do a trial download of the linked file
if it works you should now see a new linked video cast member added to your cast
if it fails - (which mine tend to do half the time?) - try it again until it works.
Here I normally view the linked videos property inspector - and change its settings - I turn loop off - and make sure preload is not set.
now comes the code part
To get your videos to play correctly, you will need to preload them into memory, before you play them.
(although it's possible to stream videos - I've never been able to get this to work well - there is a whole bunch of lingo code to deal with streaming videos)
*** a frame script for preloading a swf video ***

tellStreamStatus(TRUE)
global gVideosName
set TEMP to "http://www.mywebsite.com/my_program/dswmedia/videos/" & gVideosName & ".swf"
global mynetID
set mynetID = preloadNetThing(TEMP)
set the text of cast "preload_results" to "0 %"
end beginSprite
on exitFrame

global mynetID
pStatList = getStreamStatus(mynetID)
if (pStatList.bytesSoFar > 0) then
    pPercentDone = (pStatList.bytesSoFar * 100) / pStatList.bytesTotal
    if pPercentDone > 99 then go NEXT

set the text of cast "preload_results" to ((the string of pPercentDone) & " %")

Can i stream amazon prime to apple tv

Can I stream Amazon Prime using Apple TV?

If that's the case it's likely the content provider/Amazon is blocking the video component of Airplay.

BDP-S3100 won't stream Amazon Prime

If anyone else has had this specific problem and can shed some light I will be very grateful. This bluray player is about a year old. We've been using it to stream both Netflix and Amazon Prime for the past year. A few days ago we started having a problem with Amazon Prime. When the app starts it let's me browse for a show or movie without issue. I select what I want to watch and then it checks the internet connection. It reports the speed to be between 30 and 40 Mbps on average. The problem comes right before it would normally start to stream the video. It just sits there with the little wheel spinning, usually for about a minute before the message appears - "The network is down." I have checked to see if Amazon Prime is experiencing an outtage. When the problem first occurred it looked like maybe they were. One website showed numerous outtage reports for Amazon Prime right after Christmas. But currently there doesn't seem to be any widespread problem and I've not been able to stream for over a week now. My internet connection is fine. All other wired and wireless devices are not having any issues. I have reset my cable modem and router. This did not fix the problem. I have tried a wired and wireless connection to the bluray player. The problem exists both ways. I have reset the bluray player to its factory settings. This did not fix the problem. I have confirmed that I'm able to stream Amazon Prime on other devices using the same modem/router. We can stream Amazon Prime videos on our laptops without issues. That's everything I can think of that we've tried. I'm starting to wonder if the player has ****** out. It's just weird that I can browse online content, meaning the player is connecting to the internet, but when it tries to stream a video it fails.

This is just my personal theory, so please take it with a grain of salt. Sony got hacked right after Christmas and that's when the trouble started. At first it didn't make sense to me that this would be the cause because Amazon servers would be responsible for streaming my instant video, not Sony's. But it's rumored that Sony BD devices are routing through Sony services on the way to requesting streaming video from Amazon. If that is true (and I don't know if it is) then I wonder if Amazon put some additional security measures in place following the Sony hack. In other words, Amazon says "ok Sony, you obviously have some security issues so we are going to put the kybosh on requests for video coming through you". End result - Amazon Prime customers can't access streaming video through Sony's BD devices, but they can by just about any other means. Also, Sony BD devices continue to stream other services like Netflix and Hulu, but just not Amazon Prime. Fast forward a couple of weeks - Sony develops a system udpate that allows their Amazon Prime app to comply with Amazon's new security requirements. Sony BD device owners (like the poster above) perform the update and voila, they can stream Amazon Prime again. Again, that's just my theory. I have not heard any of the above from Sony or Amazon. But tonight I'm going to do the system update when I get home and see if it fixes my issues across the board. As of this morning it was still very random. One video willl play and the next won't.

Trying to stream Amazon Prime Free videos from Ipad via Mirroring to Apple TV

Trying to stream Amazon Prime Free videos from Ipad via Mirroring to Apple TV. Trailer plays fine. Real Movie plays audio only. Some error messahe that HD video can't be played over HDMI cable. I telling ya that 25 foot VGA cable is looking better and better. Apple TV tech the differrence had to be done at the time of encoding

Amazon blocks Airplay in encoding the movie. It's not the HDMI cable, or AppleTV for that matter.

Streaming Amazon Prime Video

I have an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1 and an Amazon Prime Instant Video subscription that I stream through the Amazon Instant Video App. Can anyone tell me if the Digital AV cable (30-pin to hdmi) will allow me to stream Amazon Prime Instant Videos on my tv by directly connecting my iPad2? I've heard some apps will only stream the audio to the tv with no picture.

I found a iPad Mini and would like to return it to the original owner. I believe it was previously stolen and it cannot be activated. Any idea how I can get it back to the original owner?

I am very disappointed (yet I somewhat understand) Apple and how they completely have no interest in helping return lost items. I don't believe the person who traded me this was from around here so I don't even know where to begin. I seen on ebay you can sell them for parts but I don't really believe in doing that and would like to at least try my best to get it back to whom it belongs to. I will be contacting my local police department regarding this but I don't think they will be able to do much if it was stolen from somewhere else. However if nobody claims it in 90 days and I have a letter from my local police station saying I am the new owner, will that be enough for apple to unhold their policy of proving the item belongs to you?

I can get mail, but cannot open it.

Mail logo does not show up on top of page. Yet I can get mail, but cannot open it.

Unfortunately, I have done so several times and it makes no difference.

HT4437 Why can't you stream Amazon Prime using Apple TV?

The whole reason I bought the Apple TV was to be able to stream from my ipad and my macpro to TV my Amazon Prime free movies. Now it looks like this is blocked. This seems outrageous. I told the sales person at the store what I wanted to do and they recommended the Apple TV. When I went back they did not know that Amazon Prime is blocked. What's up with this? Any chance that Amazon Prime will be able to be on seen on Apple TV any time soon?

Not sure if an app will be realeased, but you can stream Amazon Instant Videos from your computer to your Apple TV.
