IPAD2 streaming to older Apple TV

Before I go spend the $100 on a new Apple TV, Is there any way I can stream sound (itunes, pandora, etc) from my Ipad 2 to an older Apple TV (Ver 3.0.2)?

You can use Apples Remote app to stream any macs iTunes library to ATV1 but only second gen ATV,s are capable of streaming direct from iOS devices.

  • Older Apple TV and iTunes streaming problem

    I've set up a Mac to act as an iTunes streaming host, mostly for standard-definition video.  Other computers and iOS devices on my home network can play back the content with no issues.  However, two older (hard disk based) Apple TVs we have are unable to play video from the iTunes streaming server.
    One of the Apple TVs is connected via ethernet, the other via wifi.  They can play audio just fine via iTunes streaming.  With video, however, they either lock up for extended periods of time or play the audio while showing a frozen video frame.
    Since audio plays back fine but video doesn't, I'm wondering if the video data rate is too high for these older Apple TV boxes.  The video is standard definition in h.264 format encoded by HandBrake.  The settings used for the video are:
    Video codec:  H.264 (x264)
    Framerate:  same as source
    Quality:  Constant quality (RF: 20)
    Can anyone think of something I might be able to do (other than re-encode all the video at lower bitrates) that might help?

    What bitrate are they, the Apple TV 1 is stated to play video up to 5 Mbps, but I've tested video at 11 Mbps without any problems. You might also try re-encoding a small part of the original source file using other conversion software at the same bitrate to see if it's a problem with handbrake.

  • Airplay from older Apple devices to Apple TV 2

    I have some older Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iMac) which have the Pandora application on them and I have an Apple TV 3.  I would like to stream Pandora from these devices to my Apple TV like I am able to do with my iPhone.
    Can't seem to find a way.  Any ideas or am I dreaming?

    That's not possible, I'm afraid.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • Where can i download older Apple Event Movies?

    Hi all
    Does anyone know a website where i can download older apple event movies? For example the macworld keynote where the first G5 was presented? Thank you very much for any info you can get me. I hope you understand my english

    Welcome to the discussions, Christian.
    There was a site that had gotten all the event movies and had posted them, but they were removed by Apple. I don't think there's anywhere you can actually download the movies from, though most can still be streamed from pages on Apple's site.

  • How do I download a movie from my ipad2 video app to apple tv

    How do I view a recently downloaded movie from my Ipad2 video app to Apple TV?

    If it is from the iTunes store you can watch it from iCloud on ATV.  If it is not from the iTunes store the next best option is to add it to your local copy of iTunes and have ATV play it from there.  You can always do it from AirPlay but that is a very error prone and degrages the quality.

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • Can anyone tell me how I can take photos from Pictures and move them  into iPhotos so that I can share them on photo stream to my Apple TV?

    I have tried all morning to get my picture files to move into iPhotos. I want to push them using photo stream to my Apple TV. My picture files were originally from a Windows programme, I have too many photos to loose or just lay unviewed on my Mac!

    Have you tried the import function on iPhoto?  Have you tried just dragging them into the iphoto app?

  • How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

    how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
    I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
    Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

    To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
    Now I've got something to do.

  • How can I stream Netflix on Apple TV

    How can I stream Netflix to Apple TV? On Apple TV Internet setting shows you tube but not Netflix.

    You'll need to make sure you have the new black small AppleTV and not the original one.
    If you do have the new one, you can make sure to do any of the software updates from the settings menu (I think.. I don't have one to reference).
    It appears under the Internet tab and is very clearly on the list.

  • Greetings: I have multiple iPads and iPhones. I want all to be able to be able to stream to our Apple TV. All of the docs I see say you must have the same Apple ID for all the devices, but we each have our own Apple ID. Is this just a doc short coming?

    You can each have your own ID for your own iTunes accounts, but in order for a device to stream via AirPlay to the same Apple TV, everything must use the same homesharing ID. This is not the same as your iTunes account ID (although it can be for one of the devices)

  • HT204053 i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to

    i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

  • Why is my iPod touch Gen 5 still associated with my older Apple ID not my more recent one?

    This morning I ran across another problem. I still can't access my older [email protected] Apple ID account.
    I created a new Apple ID account but for some reason my iPod touch asked for the older Apple ID. I was trying to update Facebook, but I forgot my older password.
    I clicked on iForgot for [email protected] but the verification email was never sent.
    I clicked on the Next button many times but still no email.
    Can you please help me reset the old password to a new password of my choice?
    Finally how can I associate my iPod touch to my new Apple ID?
    This is frustrating me so much.
    Thank you.

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one
    Try recovering use of your first account
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.

  • Is there any way to stream FROM my Apple TV TO my iPad?

    Is there any way to stream FROM my Apple TV TO my iPad? I know I can stream from the pad to the TV, but I haven't seen anything that lets me do it vice-versa. I want to stream while my computer is off/asleep. I don't want to keep my computer awake all the time simply to be prepared for the random moment when I want to watch a movie but I'm not in a position to go turn on my computer and turn on iTunes. If my Apple TV could stream the movies and music, that would suit my needs, but it looks like that feature isn't available. Does anyone know how to work around it using either Apple or 3rd-party software/hardware?
