I'm trying to play a purchased DVD movie using a superdrive and apple tv with a projector - i just get a checkerboard pattern? Help - 18 students are frustrated

I'm afraid this is by design.
You cannot Airplay Mirror a DVD using DVD Player - Apple block screen mirroring of certain image data which might be protected.
I've a funny feeling Airplay mirroring can potentially be interecpted and decoded so someone could potentially copy the video stream (which would be poorer than DVD anyway).
Try VLC Player:
VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source ...

How to download purchased DVD movies?

I'm having difficulty finding a way to upload purchased DVD movies onto my MacBook Pro. My hope is that once I get them on the MacBook that I can put them on the iPad. Is this possible?

Dvd movies/tv show/etc are encrypted to stop you from doing this.
Breaking this encryption is illegal.

Is there a way to import commercially purchased DVD Movie to my iPod?

Is there a way to import commercially purchased DVD Movie to my iPod?
I tried the "Import" function and that didn't work. Is there a function to convert and import or is there a program that might accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

I would argue that transferring the movie to another medium for *your own personal use* is covered under "fair use", but of course I am not a lawyer. The law that you may be breaking would be the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Read up:

In any case, we still can't tell you how to do it on these forums.

HT5287 DVD and CD sharing will not let you play or share DVD movies and audio CD's. Does any one know of a way to get music from a CD on a MacBook Pro wirelessly to an iMac?

I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

"Can you put purchased DVD movies that you have on your ipod? "
No. breaking the encryption in order to copy them illegal.
" what about recorded DVD's that you have? "
Add them to itunes.

>Any fixes?
Don't use WiFi for streaming video. It is even worse for AirPlay since you are using bandwidth twice as it sends data from the iOS device to the router and then from the router to ATV. Use an wired connection to go to ATV. Even the high end consumer grade WiFi equitment is not great at doing streaming video.

I am having the same issue. I have contacted Adobe multiple times and keep getting the same answers."We are working on it and should have a answer in 1-2 days." I've been doing this for almost 2 weeks now. Have you gotten any answers yet?

You don't mention what device and iOS version you are using so I'll give you a generic fix for now.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try to download and run the app again to see if the problem persists.

HT203175 trying to rent or purchase a movie. You keep asking for my password (which I check everytime to be correct) but you keep asking for it. Sometimes it happens and some times not.

trying to rent or purchase a movie. System keeps asking for my password (which I check everytime to be correct) but you keep asking for it. Sometimes it happens and some times not.

Please note that you are addressing a user forum and not apple themselves.
Honestly, from experience however, if it asks you for the password again, the previous one was likely incorrect. Maybe a typo...

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost". I could swear the last time I used cellular data you would see the signal in the upper left corner and I only see "no service" there, I am in a location where I know I should have service. Is there something I should do to my IPAD? I tried resetting, I tried clearing cookies and history in Safari (after reading a post n these discussions). I don't know what to do next. My IOS version is 6.1.3. I did go into Network from the general tab and I see it says "SIM not provisioned". HELP and Thank you in advance.

Hello Theresa818,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad.
Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
Restart your iPad.
Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPad as new.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
Take care,
Sterling

HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

Or am I missing the bigger picture?

As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

You possibly have a redemption code which has to be converted into a serial number.

I have successffully used my iPad with the Apple TV with no problem but just recently, the Airplay icon doesn't come up on the iPad anymore when I'm trying to connect. What can I do to fix this?

Try restarting your router as a first thing, this sometimes works for me.
