I can't get my iPad to work on my tv using apple tv. What am I doing wrong? Was told I could play my apps on the tv

In the instructions it says to go into home share in advance which is on my computer. I'm using an ipad2 and can't find it! Helpppp.

Make sure you actually have a 2nd Generation Apple TV and that it's on the same Wi-Fi network as your iPad 2. Using your Apple TVs on screen menu, go to Settings > AirPlay and make sure that it's turned on.
On your iPad 2, double tap the Home Button to bring up the App Tray/Switcher. The screen should slide up and you will see some app icons there. Slide them to the right and you should see a Speaker icon, a brightness slider, some iPod music control buttons, and a button with a square and a triangle at the bottom. This button is the Airplay button. Tap on it.
You should see two choices. iPad and Apple TV. If you choose Apple TV, there is a switch that says mirroring. Slide the switch and your content on your iPad should now be mirrored on the TV through the Apple TV. (Some apps don't allow mirroring but most do.)

  • I plug in my iPad and make sure it is connected to the internet and locked.  I still get "This iPad hasn't been backed up in (N) Days"  What am I doing wrong?

    I plug in my iPad and make sure it is connected to the internet and locked.  I still get "This iPad hasn't been backed up in (N) Days"  What am I doing wrong?

    Is the iPad plugged in to the mains ? You can force a backup via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now
    If the 'hasn't been backed up' message is stuck on the screen and you can't clear it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. You can then force a backup as above.

  • Can't get iTunes to sync from hp laptop to iPod shuffle. What am I doing wrong?

    I have iTunes on an HP laptop and I can't get songs moved from iTunes to the shuffle. If I open the shuffle on the laptop, it seems the songs are on it, but if I go to listen to the new music, they're not there. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Help.

        Hey there web300!
    You are looking in the right place for all that information! You do need to be completely logged on (at the top right) in order to see all the values.
    If you are not getting the best signal, you can also change the security type under Wifi settings and Security. Various types can work better with certain computers. Do not make it an open network however.
    What zip code are you in that this is happening? Is it only indoors? Let us know and we can take a look on the network side.
    Thanks!

  • Every time I sync my iCal computer with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications?

    Every time I sync my iCal on my computer through iTunes with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications? I have been doing this for several years and this problem is a more recent issue, like in the last 6 months. I have been deleting the duplicate entries, on both systems, but some duplicates reappear through "general" entries that are connected to the correct color for a Calendar, but not the name. I am going nuts and wasting tons of hours trying to get the 3 calendars to sync without generating duplicate entries.

    Choose one of the Calenders on ONE of the computers OR the MobileMe as the Master / correct account.
    The REINITAILISE the data of MobileMe within preferences on the computer defining the datatransfer correctly (in the advanced box of preferences). The synchronise iphone contacts and calender directly on-line to MobileMe.
    I posted a question on this today, and gave my own reply !

    How can I print from my iPad through my Mac Book Pro which is connected to a printer?  I was told I could do this when the iPad and Mac Book Pro are synched together.

  • Even though I have Adobe Reader, I can't open my bank stmts. like I used to. What am I doing wrong??

    I have been opening my bankstatements online for a long, long, time.  All of a sudden, I can't get them to open.  All I get is a blank screen with a tiny "x" in the upper left-hand corner.  I'm pretty new to computers, so this may be a stupid question, but what am I doing wrong??

    I am using Windows 7, IE XI (?), and Adobe reader XI.  However, just to let you know, the problem has been solved almost by accident.  I happened to mention the problem to a friend who had had a similar problem and been told to us a different browser.  She did and her problem was solved.  I switched to Google Chrome, and my problem seems to be gone as well.  Thanks for your time.

  • HT1751 i could not get the file to drag over using windows 7  what am i doing wrong?

    I am trying to back up itunes on an external hard drive.  When I get to the advanced tab (in edit_preferences) I see the file but I am unable to drag it to the external drive.  what am i doing wrong?

    You cannot drag anything from the Advanced tab.
    Go to the location indicated in the Advance tab, that folder is what needs to be moved.

  • My iPad is disabled and it says to connect to iTunes with my Mac. Its not working. How can I get my iPad to work?

    My iPad is  disabled and it says to connect to ITunes with my Mac. It still is not working.

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
