IPad and watching tv episodes
I just got an iPad and am still in a learning curve. Is it possible to watch tv episodes on an iPad? I have had trouble with it as I just go to CBS.com but cannot play episodes, however I can watch them on my iPod touch. Any ideas?
If CBS.com uses Flash, you won't be able to view them on an iPad. Look in the App store to see CBS has an app in the App Store. Many networks do. The PBS one is particularly good. You can also view television shows using Hulu+ or Netflix (subscription) or buy purchasing them from the iTunes Store.

I have bought a tv series and watched the episodes but no matter what i do with settings the memory is still being taken up on my ipad2? what can i do?
If you mean that the shows are still taking up space on the iPad - of course they will unless you remove them. Is that what you mean?
You can transfer them into iTunes on your computer and kept them there via File>Transfer Purchases while the iPad is connected to the computer with iTunes running and if the iPad has been selected on the left side of the iTunes window under Devices.
If you just want to delete them - go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Video>Edit and you can select the shows and delete them. You can also tap and hold down on the TV show icons in the Videos App and the X will pop up to delete the shows. -
I have a 16gig iPad mini with latest iOS software.
Please can anyone advise on the following.
If I buy a movie on iTunes, can I download it onto my iPad and keep it there?
If I then delete it, can I download it again free?
If I do not have my iPad with me, can I watch it online through iTunes?The film will need to be downloaded in order to watch it, you can't stream it from the store. Whether you can re-download a film will depend upon what country that you are in and whether it remains in the store (studios occasionally remove them). You are better off keeping your own backup copy of all of your downloads rather that relying on being able to re-download from the store in the future (you can copy purchases from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)
What can be re-downloaded where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
You can also get wifi-enabled drives which allow you to stream your content to your iPad, so not everything needs to be stored on it e.g. GoFlex Satellite (there are other makes as well). -
i would like to watch breaking bad. It says downloading 4 hrs when done. It starts to download again! Why?
Ok - success!!! The songs are on my iPhone now!
What I did....first I went in iTunes on my Mac and knocked the stars back to 1 star so they they would fall off my top rated. I synced again with the iPhone. No change yet.
Then I went back into iTunes on the Mac and manually DELETED the songs and moved them all to the trash. I emptied the trash. Then I synced again with the iPhone.
Then I just ripped the CD again in iTunes, then five-starred each song, so they went right into my Top Rated on the Mac. Then one more sync with the iPhone and voila! There they are! Phew! This was weird, and soooooo un-Apple like....but it's cool, and it's all good now.

Watch tv episodes downloaded ti iPad on TV
I can't find a definitive answer to this. I want to download TV episodes and connect iPad to my large screen HDTV. One of the techs at the Apple store said neither the VGA or the other adaptervkit will work because the iPad is no equipped to do it. Has anyone tried this and why would Apple sell adapters unless they spell out the use limits?

??? Why would this Tech guy at the apple store say this?
I have the VGA adapter for iPad from Apple and connect this to my HDTV and watch all the TV episodes I have purchased from iTunes store, both the ones downloaded to iTunes on computer and the ones purchased and downloaded to the iPad. The only difference though is to do with HD shows, note below.
The only ones I cannot play with the VGA adapter for iPad is the protected movies and TV shows in HD, and this is to do with the HDCP.
For this I use the Composite Cable from Apple instead of the VGA Adapter for iPad.
note the apple document about this under Additional info; If you look at the bottom of this page under additional info, it mentions about the problem with HDCP. note the link below

Old rental movies and old TV episodes show on iPad in iTunes (not really there)
For well over a year I have two rental movies (purhcased from iTunes store and watched) and several very old TV episodes (purchased from iTunes store and watched) show up (in iTunes) as being on my iPad but they are not really there. They appear as a light gray "ghost"...I waas forced to delete them during EVERY sync. I've tried several solutions to similar problems but they just keep coming back. I've hidden them in my iTunes account...tried to delete them from the iTunes library on my computer...to include "old iTunes libraries"...no luck...now I cannot even delete them while in iTunes...there is no option via right click anymore...EXTREMELY frustrating!
Heh, that's interesting. I usually drag and drop and then edit the metadata once it's on the device. Maybe there's some bug stopping the iPad getting the updated metadata correctly if done that way round.

I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Is there any way around this?
The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device. I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked. I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

I'm trying to connect my iPad to my tv so that I can mirror whatever is on my iPad. I want to stream movies online and watch on the tv. I have the digital av adapter and an hdmi cable but it's not working. Any tips ?
If this is an iPad 1, it won't mirror, but it will still output video from the 30 Pin dock connector.
If your new TV has a conventional VGA in and stereo inputs you can try this connector.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable?fnode=3a
I used to stream video from both Netflix and YouTube and from my Mac using iTunes sharing through my iPad then with this connector plug into my iPad and TV.
It won't be high resolution, but it will get you picture from iPad to TV.
Good Luck. -
Please help! I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia. How can I fix this?
Are you using a proxy server to access the net?
Or another cause could be that your router thinks it's in its home country (probably china)
I just don't know how to fix it. There's a way but I don't know enough to advise.
You could try googling your router model and 'wrong country' or keywords like that and see if something comes up. -
Way can't i do this now? Last year I would turn into creativeLive and watch tutorials on my tv using my Apple TV screening from my iPad . This was great. And allowed me to move around while learning. After Maverick that service disappear, I went into the apple store where I lived and they thought it was creativeLive not brought casting. But I have tutorials I have purchased that should be able to screen aren't showing up either. As this is important to me was wondering if there's something I can do to get it back before I go blind trying to study on the pad? Any help would be appreciated I bought the Apple TV precisely for this purpose, any one know why they changed a very helpful service?
Are it's amazing what going to the apple classes can do for you, lol the problem was air play has turned off no doubt when the upgrades were done, but thanks to the training apple gave me I was able to reason the problem out yah! I love my apple.

How do I get the iTunes festival to play on my Apple TV in the evening, as I work during the day and can't watch it at 4:00pm? I have the app installed on my iPad and can't get it to play!
I haven't received an answer. I hope someone can answer this because it's an ongoing problem that I can't play some CDs on my MacBook Air (see my original post for the details). Anyone? Please? Thanks in advance!

I was being able to watch facebook videos from my ipad, and since i updated my IOS to 7.1.1,i dont know if it has to do with that but now i can no longer see any facebook videos
If you look at the preferences for Flashblock (access from the extensions window of the add-ons manager) and choose Whitelist, you can add a site to that window, and that site will not be blocked by Flashblock at all. You will not even see the Flashblock icon.

I'm new to iPad mini and uv I'm trying to get a movie I purchased to where I can watch it offline but when I click the option to download and watch offline it keeps giving me and error with download try again later I have a good wifi connection ??
You have a "good WiFi connection". What does that mean exactly? Can you send and receive email and are other internet related activities working OK for you? Have you tried restarting or rebooting your iPad? Sometimes that helps. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
