Ipad mini remote app will connect to my itunes library and apple tv but can't play content from itunes library on the apple tv

What I am trying to do is very simple, and I am sure I have done it before.
I have an Apple TV (2nd Gen) connected to Wifi Network (Airport Extreme 802.11n) I want to stream content from the itunes library on my macbook pro over the wifi network to the Apple TV. This works no problem, home sharing is set up and I can see the itunes library under 'Computer' on the Apple TV interface. I can use the Apple Remote to scroll through and play content from my itunes. Works no problem.
Now I want to use the remote app on my ipad mini to control the apple tv. Using up to date app (Version 3.01) Again, everything looks like it should work. I have turned on Home Sharing on the remote app settings. It works fine and both my itunes library and Apple TV show up on the interface. I can touch the itunes icon and control the itunes on my computer and play music and video on my computer screen.
Now when I touch the apple tv icon I can't see my itunes library content to play on the apple tv. I see the below image. If I tap on the icon in the bottom left it takes me back to the screen in the first image. What is the strangest thing is that I can control the apple tv using the gestures interface! This isn't what I want though and I want to be able to see the itunes library on the screen of the ipad and play it on the apple tv. You can see in the video on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEpgcE9KCs). This is what I am trying to do and I just don't understand why I don't get the screen seen at 1:25 in the video. Instead I get the screen seen in the below image.

OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

I know that the remote app is connecting to the apple TV because I can control it using gestures, just strange I can't see the content on the ipad like in the attached video clip, instead I see the screen in the image below. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I've got a new Apple ID but can not change anything on my phone, my old Apple ID is connected to icloud but is not letting me delete it without a password! But I do not know this password what can I do?

I've got a new Apple ID but can not change anything on my phone, my old Apple ID is connected to icloud but is not letting me delete it without a password! But I do not know this password what can I do?

If the old ID is an earlier version of your new ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your new iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your new password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
Note: this will not work if your new ID is an entirely new ID that was never previously associated with the old email address.

uninstall and reinstall
there is a complicated way to work with just the mobile device support but its simpler just to uninstall itunes and related components and then reinstall itunes
ur music will be fine, u will just lose the playlists. but ur mobile device support will be working again.

Have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop.

have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop. laptop keeps telling me to purchase pages for iPad (which I've been using on both the iPad and MacBook for months - App store says i have them both too). Both units have current updated systems and apps. Using same apple ID. Calendar and contacts work fine between both machines.

Do you have any secondary accounts set up in mail, contacts and calendars.

I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

What will happen if I downloaded the iOS 7 in my ipad mini? What will happen to my data, photo and downloaded apps before (ios6).

What will happen if I downloaded the ios7 in my iPad mini? What will happen to my saved photo, data and otherdownloaded apps in ios6? Will all of that erased?

The advice to back up is good.
And one other thing. If you don't currently use a passcode to use your iPad, I really recommend you set one up before you update. Just make sure you either know what your currently use, or if you set one up, you write it down somewhere safe for future reference.

My Ipad Mini Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now it stops working.

The Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now when I first open on my ipad it will work but on subsequent tries it won’t connect and tells me that I have to turn on home sharing (Which is already turned on). This is using my ipad mini to connect to iTunes on Win 8.1
Very frustrating. I wish I hadn't downloaded the iTunes update!

Look at this similar post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3816868?start=15&tstart=0
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Ipad mini - remote app - poster art issue

The remote app for the ipad mini when browsing through movies does not recognize all the movie titles poster art, and instead of displaying the appropriate poster art, it displays another.
Example: 300 movie art does not show up, instead it shows Batman art. Blade Runner art does not show up, instead it shows Batman art. That one Batman art will replace all of the movies down the line that do not load their art...
Why does this do this? I've tried re-installing the application, re-adding all my movies on itunes, re-starting the app, everything I could think of.
I just wish apple would make the video app a one place stop, the set up is nicer, quicker, and works better. Make Video App that comes with general apps, the remote to apple tv to play from ipad to apple TV!
This is really a nit-picky thing, but when I had my ipad 3 w/retina, it did not have this issue, ipad 2 did not have this issue, only ipad mini... I love the mini too!! Fix this and you are a true warrior!
Thanks community!

Ethernet connected Apple TV 3 can't play content. WiFi works fine. What gives?

Apple TV 3 has a strange problem since the latest update, 5.1. It is only partially functional when hard wired to my router, but is fully functional when connected wirelessly.
When hardwired, I can control it with the iOS Remote app, airplay from iPhones & iPad, and browse the menus of the various services, Hulu, Netflix, etc. But, when I try to play content, for example, a Hulu show, I get a “there was an error…” message.
When I connect wirelessly- everything works fine- I can play all the content without a problem.
I prefer to have a wired connection, and have been using one successfully up until 5.1 – does anyone know how to fix the limited functionality of the wired connection?

Apple TV can air play content from my home library but can't connect to share?

I unwrapped the present, set it up, updated and start playing with it. I have a home library on Windows xp using iTunes 11. I can AirPlay from that library to Apple TV but can't see Apple TV in devices or see my library from Apple TV in shares. Anyone has any suggestions?

That's normal. You can't see Apple TV as a network device on PC.
You can only see your pcs iTunes library on Apple TV but your PC doesn't see Apple TV as a device.

Playing videos from iTunes onto a TV from my iPad

Can I play videos from iTunes onto a TV from my iPad. All I seem to be able to get is the music when I connect via an HDMI cable or wirelessly to apple TV.
Thanks
Terry

I have sorted now. Play through video app not music. Easy when you know how!!!

IPad & iPhone only play video from iTunes store after iOS7 upgrade

I just noticed that my iPad and iPhone can only play content from the iTunes store now that I have upgraded them to iOS7. They can not even play videos that my iPhone recorded before the upgraded. They are also not able to play videos that I RIPPED from DVD's using Handbrake. It had no problem playing any of this content before upgrading. I can still play the videos though iTunes just fine. And my old iPhone that is still on iOS6 plays the videos just fine. Does anyone know of a work around to get iOS seven devices to play video that is not from the iTunes store?

Thanks tried that as well as a full restore of the iPhone. This seems to be by design. ITunes will not even sync the files to the iOS7 devices now. Says the files will not be copied because they can not be played, but my iOS6 devices can sync them and play them.
