I am trying to play a movie through iPad to tv

I bought the right cable to connect to iPad to TV but the tv keeps saying to turn airplay on. I have looked through all my settings to play a movie from iPad to movie and everything is plugged in correctly from the directions. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or an easier way I might be missing? Thank you

Make sure you uncheck [√] Mirrored displays, so that you can set the resolution for your external and built-in displays separately.
Use system preferences to choose resolutions (not the menubar item) to get access to all resolutions supported by your projector.

  • We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

    we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

    It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
    Apart from that would be the reboots.

  • HT2499 I I'm trying to play a movie on my Mac but it doesn't play it. What is wrong?

    I I'm trying to play a movie on my iMac but it doesn't play it. What is wrong?

    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac.  Tell us your Mac OS X version.  It is not running an iOS version. 
    By playing a movie, are you talking a commercial DVD movie with Apple's DVD player software?
    If it is, was it purchased in the same country as the Mac?

  • Trying to play a movie on my mac and says it needs an AC3 Codec

    Hi can someone help me. I am trying to play a movie on my macbook pro off my portable  hard drive. It keeps telling me I need an AC3 codec for the audio. Can anyone tell me where to get this from a trusted source.
    Thanks

    Try adding Perian.  It's useful for allowing QuickTime to handle a wide variety of formats audio/video formats.
    There is also Vlc which is a general video player for a wide variety of formats.  But these days I am hesitant to recommend it since it was "updated" to 2.0 from 1.1.12.  1.1.12 was great and I still use it.  2.0 is not quite ready for prime time (unstable and buggy).

  • IE and FireFox crashing when trying to play QuickTime movie

    I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 and QuickTime 7. I'm trying to play some movies of my own within a browser but am experiencing problems with the browsers crashing. Sometimes, they work the first time, but after that the browsers crash. The error messages are:
    Microsoft IE has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    firefox.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
    I've been trying variations of the HTML code but here is the last one that actually worked the first time in FireFox but not anytime after that:

    The movie is 8MB is size. I've checked my mime settings and the Flash player is not checked.
    Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

    You've failed to enter a "source" for your HREF "target".
    Use a complete URL to the QT file you wish the "quicktimeplayer" to "target" and your page should work as you want.

    Follow the steps to identify the video and audio
    format, then look in the list for a codec.

  • Trying to play rented movie right away

    i tried to play the movie very shortly ater starting the download. i was asked if i wanted to watch and then warned that i have to watch it within 24 hours. i said fine. i was able to see about 4 seconds of the movie and then i hear the soundtrack but see nothing. still i have to watch within 24 hours. what was that whole thing about you could watch right away? any ideas?

    re: Once you sync, it's removed...
    You can move it between one device and the Mac you purchased the movie on as many times as you want, but not between anything else.

  • HT3775 trying to play a .mov file

    I am trying to play a .mov file that I transferred to my macbook from my camera. I have tried itunes, quicktime and VLC and can not get it to play. I thought .mov was supported by quicktime, does it need to be converted?

    I have come to the conclusion that my memory card is the problem. Yet we were able to transfer all the footage from the card on to my other roommates pc with no problem.
    You can reformat the SD card for OSX compatibility using Disk Utility. Either format it as FAT, for universal compatibility, or Mac Os Extended for OSX only compatibility. Note that all current data on the card will be deleted once it is reformatted.
