IPad2 and Airplay

Hi,
I have an iPad2 with IOS 4.3.3 and a PC with iTunes 10.5.  I want to stream music to a hi-fi via an airport express.  Could any one help with some questions please?
1. at the moment I do not see any airplay icons on my iPad2 (in either iPod or movies as shown on the apple tutorials) and also no icons on iTunes on the PC.  Will this change when I get the airport express?
2. Can i stream directly from the IPad2 or do i need the remote app and stream from iTunes on the PC.
If any one could help I would be grateful.

Once you've updated your iPad, if you go onto the iPod App, a little icon will pop up whilst music is playing. This will only pop up if you have an Airport Express.
The Remote App from the App Store is for use if you want to control your iTunes library on your computer. For example. I could get out my iPad, open the remote app, click play and it will play on my computer. If I have an Airport Express, on the remote app I could click on a button and select the Airport Express.
You don't have to have the app in order to stream music from your iPad to and Airport Express.
The main thing is to do this:
Once you've updated your iPad, if you go onto the iPod App on the iPad, a little icon will pop up whilst music is playing. This will only pop up if you have an Airport Express.

  • Using ipad2 and airplay with appleTV; can I have the ipad2 on wifi and the AppleTV on a wired port of the same router in order to use airplay?

    can I have the ipad2 on wifi and the AppleTV on a wired port of the same router in order to use airplay?

    I belive you can, I think my friends Apple TV is connected to their internet via an Ethernet cable, and we use Airplay sometimes using our iPads that are connected to the same network via WiFi. It should work as long as they are both connected to the same network. However, I don't have an Apple TV of my own, so don't take this as a solid answer.

  • No Mirroring in Ipad 2? I have IPAD2 and Apple Tv 4.3. I can airplay videos/music from Ipad2 to my HDTV via ATV, but I cant mirror it. When I select airplay to switch from Ipad2 to Apple TV, Mirroring does not show as an option. What am I missing?

    No. AirPlay is via Wi-Fi.

  • HT204291 Trying to get the iPad2 to AirPlay and mirror.

    I have the airplay icon on my iPad but when I click on the apple tv icon and try to select on for mirroring it quickly closes not giving me the option and then a second later opens back up for me to select again.  This happens over and over again...with no ability to connect.  It seems like a software issue....
    Any thoughts on how to fix?

  • I have an iPad2 and apple TV all are up to date on downloads. I can mirror music and films but when I select to mirror the screen in the airplay TV there is no toggle button to turn on mirroring

    I have an iPad2 and apple tv all are current on the latest updates. I can play music and films on the ipad and these come through on Apple TV. However when I try to mirror the screen there is no toggle button. Any ideas what could be wrong?

    Hi I just solved this. You need to connect you apple tv to you pc via a micro USB cable. It then appears in your iTunes like your phone or iPod/iPad. The click to restore it, it will then download and update to the latest firmware 4.4. Once it's all complete connect back to tv and restart all your devices, iPad/ iPhone/ router.
    This fixed mine. Hope this helps

  • Connexion between Ipad2 and Apple TV

    I try to establish connexion between my Ipad2 and Aplle TV but I'mm not able to receive any picture but only sound ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
    I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please leave details in the comments at the bottom of the User Tip.

  • ATV2, iPad2 and no Internet

    I have ripped some dvd's into H.264 format and loaded on my IPad2.  Watch some with earphones when traveling and have used a long HDMI cable and iPad connection to watch on TV.
    My question is how can I use the ATV and AirPlay to watch my videos on mt TV without the HDMI cable setup?  I do not have Internet in the house and do not want the expense for a part time experience.
    Thanks.

    You'll need to set the express up to create a network, you can do that using the AirPort Utility available on your computer or iPad. Make a note of the network name and password and enter those into the network settings for both the Apple TV and the iPad.

  • IPhone 4s and AirPlay

    I'm using an iPad2 and Apple MacBook Air without problems in connection  with a Zeppelin Air loudspeaker System via AirPlay.
    Only my iPhone 4S makes trouble. It can not 'hold the line' to the Zeppelin Air. Is there anyone with same problems and -  perhaps - a Suggestion?
    Thank's in advance. Rita

    Oops - I messed up the title-
    This is with iOS 7.0.2 and Apple TV 6.0.

    I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
