Iphone, Airplay and Apple TV Question

Question: Will I be able to stream a photo album or HD video shot on an Iphone straight to a TV via Apple TV without syncing through itunes first?
I have contacted Apple and one response was that it would already have to be in Itunes, which means I'll have to make a 'roundtrip' from the iphone to computer back to iphone, which seems stupid. I think the killer app of apple tv is not renting movies, it is the ability to stream content. For example I shoot some HD video or take photos at Christmas and stream them to TV for everyone to watch - straight from my iPhone. If Apple don't plan on doing this, they are missing a trick.

I've read all your posts, Shaggy. I've a bit of an opposite view. I much prefer the renting vs iphone streaming, but I understand where you are coming from.
Regarding this post: Wow! Are you serious?? Apple is telling you that content on the iphone/ipad must be synced to iTunes before it can be streamed to tv??!! That really would be "missing the trick"!!
That would mean the new device truly is inferior. Wait, I recall Jobs saying "we got rid of syncing".
That would mean no friends streaming a quick photo or music playlist, no purchasing a show on iPad (which I would never do anyhow. I'd use my tv quite frankly) and immediately streaming it to tv.
Makes me wonder if "streaming" is regulated. Meaning, will each device need to registered to one iTunes account and all others are out of luck. That would be "missing the trick."

18000 and 200gb of iCloud storage how do i up load to iCloud and view them across my iPhone iPad and apple tv?

I have 18000 photos and i have to signed up to 200gb of iCloud storage how do i up load to iCloud and see them across my iPhone iPad and apple tv?
I have dragged my entire library over to the iCloud icon on the left side menu bar on my iMac iPhotos.
i have also signed into iCloud.com but can only see recent few photos taken today on my iPhone and when i have gone to import i can not import for my iPhotos app?
How do i get these to the cloud to view across my devices?
What settings do i need to use on my iPhone and iPad?
Or is iCloud not the best way to store and view my library?
Thanks Spud

You are a bit early.
Wait for a few month. iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and the Photos.app for Mac are being beta tested now and will be available soon on your Mac. Then you can store your photo library in iCloud and keep optimised versions of your photos on your Mac locally, with the full sized versions in iCloud. And all your devices will be able to access the photos in iCloud.
See Apple's preview of the new Photos for Mac: http://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your devices. When you choose "Optimize Mac Storage", it stores all your full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud in their original formats, while keeping storage-saving versions on each device. When you make an edit, the original image will download automatically. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.
and also: Photos for the Mac Is Clean, Fast, Connected — and Unfinished
The iPads and iPhones can already do it, but the Mac can only access this library using the web interface, see: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
Use the time, till Photos will be released, to consolidate your photo library. Get all places and faces tagged, all keywords, titles, and ratings ready, duplicates removed, events and albums well structured, and when Photos will be released, you can simply let it migrate the iPhoto or Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library. Enable "Optimize Storage" and you will be able to have the bulk of your photos in iCloud.

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Can I present a keynote presentation using airplay and Apple TV? How do I set up airplay ?

Can I present a keynote presentation using airplay and Apple TV? How do I set up airplay ?

Hi Andy,
You can do this reasonably easily.
First up you need to think about how you are going to drive the TV- Your iMac could do it, but a laptop would be easier if you can access one.
Second you need to look at the screen inputs. If it is a flat screen TV it is likely to have at least a VGA connection which you should have a connector to 'out of the box' and it will work much like connecting your mac to a projector would.
If not you'll probably need a connector for your mac that outputs composite (a single RCA connector) or S-Video to connect. You'll need to do this connection and find out the resolution the display supports before the big day (I live in a country with PAL which typically is 720x576). Make the Keynote presso the same resolution and you should be all good. A test drive is essential!
Here's a typical adapter from the Apple Store

Just as a thought- you could just burn a DVD with the images- it's pretty simple to set up (with transitions) a photo library in iDVD, though a little more tricky if you need the images to appear at certain times.

How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

icloud does not handle music, except for letting you download music you previously bought at the iTunes store. For music, get it into iTunes on your PC, then connect your devices to the PC and using iTunes to sync it to them. Not sure about Apple TV. I think that might require buying a subscription to iTunes Match.

HT1687 Anyone know how to reset my iphone vm password while in Canada and not turning on cellular so I don't get charged for roaming? Verizon says its an iphone issue and Apple says to contact my carrier?!

Anyone know how to reset my iphone vm password (so I can listen to my messages) while in Canada and not turning on cellular so I don't get charged for roaming? Verizon says its an iphone issue and Apple says to contact my carrier?! I don't want to pay for roaming and I am able to use my phone fine and also connect to wifi while at friend's houses etc.

It's not a Verizon reset - under General and phone there is a place to reset my password however I can't do it without cellular turned on.

How do you play a rented movie from my iPhone 4S to the TV through airplay and Apple TV?

I attempted to rent a movie on my iPhone 4S and play it through airplay to my Apple TV. I could not at any time view any video from that rental but could here the soundtrack. Is there some setting/adjustment that I failed to complete?

To answer quickly, you cannot move a rented movie from your iPhone to your computer (or anywhere else). You'll have to watch it on the phone.
Regards.

IPhone 4 and Apple TV not streaming all video through apps

I have an iPhone 4 and tried every streaming combination I could think of. However my iMovie app, iTunes video preview and MobileMe gallery quicktime video's do not work any longer. I am not sure if it is because I updated my iRemote app on the iPhone. It was great having those apps work because I could save a video and send it to my Mobile Me Gallery and launch the video and then stream it to my Apple TV 2 generation. All of those apps only stream the audio now, but no video. Anyone else tried these apps with success or had the same problem? My Youtube and iTunes video works fine.

Okay, so I am mistaken, but it is also not clear with Apple Airplay, what video streaming will work. Apple should be clearer on what does not currently supported airplay such as movie or Quicktime. I am a big fan of lists that have checkboxes next to the items that are supported. However, with iOS 4.3 I think my "imagination" and "mistakenness" will finally be reality...so my question is mute.

Iphones, icloud and apple id's with a family of 3 users--HELP!

I (Mom) have an iphone 5 and I have 2 sons with iphone 4's, we also have apple tv in our home. Right now we are all tied to the same apple id and also to 1 itunes account. Also, my icloud is no longer backing up because somehow my old iphone 4 (now my son's phone) is still dumping into my account. I feel like I need to start from the beginning but I can't find the info on the help pages. My boys are old enough to buy and manage their own accounts but then what about all the stuff on itunes that they like and I don't want on my phone. Also, I have books in itunes that they don't want on their phones. There should really be a section for Mom's trying to set their families up with apple correctly! Can anyone help??
Main questions:
How many apple id's do I need (2 kids with iphone 4, 1 iphone 5, husband with apple id)??
icloud--I have no clue about this? Why does it need an email? Should we all have these? How do I keep them separate so they don't cause the account to be full?
itunes--how to I split this up for my family? What accounts should we open? Delete?
apple tv--Does it need it's own apple id?

My Iphone 5 and apple store experience

On the 13th of Jan I visited the Apple Store in Covent Garden. I would say it is perhaps the worst customer experience I have ever had. It has damaged my view of the apple brand as a whole.
My Iphone 5 was no longer turning on when charging. It would load the apple logo and shut down. it was unusable.
This was my second Iphone 5 after the first had been replaced in September - that phone was turning itself off randomly, constantly crashing and the screen was going blank and freezing in that position rendering it unusable.
When I arrived at the store, I was told that it was a "software problem", there was nothing I or they could do, and that "I would have to buy another one".
Thre was no remorse or even a display of sympathy from any of the apple staff I dealt with. This phone was only 5 months only, and was only 10 days outside the original warranty of the original phone purchase on the 3-Jan-13. The idea that you can simply "buy another one", when we are talking about a £200 cost was said as if cost was no matter, and as though a software problem was solely my fault.
To have had to go through the inconvienice of replacing 2 Iphones within a year is a massive incovinence. There is no Apple store near where I work and it is therefore not a simple task to book an appointment at the apple store. What is worse is having to pay £200 to replace a faulty phone that it itself in now 5 months old.
I do not view this as acceptable.
What is more, the manager of the store acted particularly rudely. He discussed well within earshot about "why I was taking so long?". He then interjected and repeated that I would "need a new one", continued to discuss with the staff member who was currently helping me that she could leave as her shift was over, and that he would "sort me out" while I overheard him criticising me for being "awkward" because the person who was service me was supposed to have finished her shift.
I did buy another Iphone. I want a smartphone and enjoy the connectivity that the Iphone has with my other apple products. The manager however disappeared as his conversation had finished, leaving me to set up my own Iphone at the store. I walked across the store asking for some advice on open ended questions when setting up my Iphone, I was informed by him that I should "follow the instructions" and he walked off.
This experience has, on reflection, shattered my confidence in the apple brand. I always thought that one of the things you were paying for with apple was the customer support. This customer service appears to be extremely lacking. There was no thought that such a performance from an apple product was unacceptable. Just blind adherence to warranty guidlines coupled with rudeness. I am now left wondering how long my new phone will last. With an average lifespan of 6 months, I am left thinking i could well need to shell out a further £200 at some point in July.
In summary, I was left out of pocket, my view of the apple brand damaged, and insulted at the rudeness of your staff. I leave it with your customer service team to ponder this sitatuion described above and respond accordingly.

Hi mate. I had a very similar experience to you. I'm on my 3rd iphone 5. First one, the power button broke. Second screen was loose. And now this one does not get a phone signal. I did everything apple told me to. Anyway as I'm now over my year warranty, they weren't interested. I'm not letting it go though. If you want to join up in the email correspondence between me and Apple. I want to get as many people like you and me. Nothing to lose!

10.6.6 update and syncing issues in iTunes with iPhone 4 and Apple TV

After installing the recent OSX 10.6.6 update, I am receiving the following error messages in iTunes 10.1.1 when trying to sync both my iPhone 4 (iOS v4.2.1) and my 1st generation Apple TV (OS v3.0.2):
iPhone error message:
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Apple TV error message:
"iTunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I'm not sure if this matters - but in the iPhone error message - it does not state if the "disk" is the iPhone or the computer - but in the Apple TV error message it does make this distinction, saying that the problem is on my computer and specifically mentions photos.
Now, once I dismiss either of the error messages, the sync progresses normally and completes successfully. Also, I have checked my computer (MacPro) and all diagnostics (including the internal hard drives) pass with flying colors. And the computer is working fine otherwise - so I have no reason to believe that there is a hardware problem with the computer. And I would find it very strange that I would have a hardware problem with both my iPhone and Apple TV appearing at the exact same time. And finally, both the iPhone and Apple TV are performing normally when in use.
Since this problem did not start until after running the 10.6.6 update - logic tells me that is where the problem probably lies.... the question is how to resolve it - anyone have any ideas?

FYI: I received the following answer to this same question which I had posted in a different area of the forum and it solved my problem:
+Both those symptoms are consistent with a damaged photo cache. If you remove your existing photo cache as per the instructions in the following document, does that get you past the error?+

IPhone 4 and Apple Component Cables do not work

I have an iPhone 4 and my Apple Component Cables no longer work.
I have had an iPhone 3G since July 2008, and a first gen iPod Touch. They both have and continue to work with the cables.
I have the Component cables hooked up to an Apple universal dock... it's been a great way to watch movies and TV shows on my bedroom TV, as the remote control works through the dock. I've become so accustomed to using it, I no longer even use a DVD player (all my media is digital). That's the main reason I upgraded to a 32Gb ip4. I have tried plugging the cables directly into my phone, rather than going through the dock, to no avail.
I am now on my second replacement iPhone 4, and the Genius at the Apple Store had the same issue with his demo unit. Oddly, the ip4 appears to work fine with the lower quality composite cables, but not at all with the HD compatible component cables. My question is, have any of you experienced the same problem? How is this not a bigger issue? (I can't find any threads about this issue), Am I the only person who uses his iPhone this way?
I have been in contact with Applecare. A nice rep has been trying to help me, but as of yet, has not been able to offer an answer. On the Apple Store, you can clearly see iPhone 4 listed as a compatible device for the cables.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB128LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MTA4NDc4Njc
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated

I know this is of absolutely no use to you at all but...
Same here!
Paid nearly 40 quid (GBP) for the component video cable from apple, same for the universal dock!
Nothing, nada, nought... through my theatre system or direct into the TV.
Shame really, iPhone 4 latest patches, really BIG TV (latest, greatest everything input's) fairly simple theatre system (again, everything inputs) but no joy at all getting a picture (video) out of the component cable.
Bah...
I read somewhere there could be a fault in the iPhone 4 OS, but I'd have thought that they would have fixed this by now!
NOTHING WORKS!!!
This is not a good 40 quid value !!!
Is there a solution?
