Is wifi requires to use airplay from ipad?

Does the Apple TV require an wireless network connection to use the iPad or iPhone's airplay feature?  I am really wondering if I were to bring it to a nother house temporarily, would I be able to Airplay videos from my iPad to it without it being on a network?
Thanks

It requires a network, but that can be either a wired or wireless network.

    when I use airplay from Ipad foxtel appication video doesnt come on tv, audio comes. It works ok with other applications

    Some apps/providers disable video over Airplay for commercial reasons - check teh foxtel site to see if video airplay is allowed.
    Can you use Airplay mirroring instead of airplay?

  • Apple TV loses wireless network connection when using AirPlay from iPad or iPhone 5

    Our Apple TV loses connectivity to our wireless network while using Airplay from our iPad or iPhone 5. This started occurring after the latest iOS update. We are able to wirelessly stream movies from iTunes without any problem. This issue occurs only when using AirPlay. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I have a:
    new MBPr 15" late 2013 with dedicated graphics card
    new airport extreme base station
    3rd generation apple tv
    iPhone 5s
    200mb download speed (not important, as streaming video on your local network has nothing todo with outside bandwidth)
    All equipment is up to date software wise. Airplay mirroring from my laptop to my apple tv is ok. I get frequent lag, pixelation, audio skip (every 10 mins or so).
    I'm using the 5ghz specturm to connect to the airport express so shouldn't have any inteference from my neibours (accordiing to iStumbler i'm the only person with a 5ghz setup using channel 30). I've tried connecting apple tv wirelessly and wired. No issues streaming from my iPhone or an iPad!
    Surprisingly, using apps such as Beemer or Air Video Server on my MBP work better than native mirroring when it comes to video play back.
    Strange when you think how Air Video works:
    Video file lives on MBP
    iPhone connects to laptop
    Video plays on iPhone and is sent to Apple TV via Air Mirroring
    Rather than:
    Video played on laptop
    Video sent to Apple TV
    Seems bizzare that my iPhone can handle better streaming than my pro laptop.

  • No Video using Airplay from iPad 2 to Apple TV 2 using authorized App.

    I have an iPad 2 and Apple TV 2.   I use Slingbox.   
    Today, I started watching a show using my iPad as a Slingbox Player.   The source TV was in another state.   The video and audio was good, and the network speed using Speakeasy was above 3MBPS download.   I clicked on the Airplay button at the top, and the video and audio started playing on my HD TV in full HD.  Audio and Video were correct and great. 
    Then I tried to change channels and evenutally I disconnected the Slingbox.   I reconnected the Slingbox and after pushing the Airplay button again, I only got audio (with a little musical note symbol on the tv at the lower lest corner).   I then proceeded to reboot the iPad 2 and i reset the Apple TV to factory settings.   No luck.  Reconnecting via Airplay to the TV only will stream Audio.   The network speed stayed above 3MBPS. 
    I also was unable to connect video using my iPhone, but I was able with my MacBook Air. 
    Note:  I AM able to force mirroring by turning Mirroring "on" (double click on button, swipe app bar to the right, hit Airplay button, and turn on Mirroring).   But although the video is fine, I lose HD and the picture qualtiy is degraded.   Not a good solution.
    I now KNOW that I can send a Slingbox signal to my HDTV from my iPad as a Slingplayer and using Airplay.  It worked!  But only for about 20 minutes, and I am not able to get it back. 
    This is a real poser.   I hope someone knows how to fix this (but judging from the other questions on this question over the years - I doubt it...:-(

    I FOUND THE ANSWER TO MY OWN QUESTION:  The Slingplayer will tend to default to SQ (Standard Quality) playback.   Under "Quality" on the Slingplayer screen, there are choices of SQ, HD (High Def) and AUTO.   I selected "Auto" and it went to HD quality.  Then, when I enabled AirPlay, a full HD picture appeared on my TV WITHOUT having to select "Mirroring".   
    I get 10 points...

  • Can I use ATV(2) and Airplay from iPad without a network?

    I'm going on holiday to a rented villa which has a TV (which I assume has an HDMI port) but there is no internet connection, therefore no router or local WiFi network.  I'd like to be able to play content from my iPad and/or iPhone via Airplay on the TV using my AppleTV (2) (which I could easily take with me).
    However, experimenting at home, it seems that ATV won't do anything at all unless connected to a WiFi network.  Airplay works fine even if the network is not connected to the internet; even purchased content seems to be ok (but DRM free - I haven't bought any non-DRM-free music).  However, without a separate WiFi router, ATV doesn't seem to do anything.  In particular, my iPad doesn't "see" it, and can't connect to it, unless both are connected to an existing network.
    I don't understand why this should be so.  Should it not be possible to connect two WiFi devices (eg iPad and ATV) to each other without needing a router?
    I can get it to work if I use my MBP to set up a WiFi network by using Internet Sharing to share my (non-existent) ethernet connection using Airport.  Airplay then works between my iPad and ATV.  However, this is a rather clumsy arrangement - I'd been hoping I wouldn't need to take my MBP with me for that week.
    So, am I doing anything wrong, or is this (Airplay from iPad to ATV without a router) just something ATV can't do?  And is it "can't do" (ie ATV has the wrong chipset or something) or "won't do" (ie Apple have set it up so it won't work like this)?  And if it's "won't do", any chance Apple will provide this functionality in the future?

    After submitting this, I found an answer to a similar question last December (Can I create an ad-hoc (WiFi) network between my iPhone and Apple TV?); basically saying that you need the router; but I'll leave this as a question (a) to help others find it, because I looked before I submitted and didn't find a relevant discussion and (b) just in case someone else has a better idea......

    You could take the airport and setup a wifi network without Internet. The atv2 can connect without Internet access to a wifi network setup with a router. Be patient when it connects, it tries to establish an Internet connection and it takes a while to find there isn't one!! Eventually it offers to connect without Internet. Once connected you can stream to it as usual. One word of caution - don't disable home sharing, if you do and re-activate it the atv2 seems to need an Internet connection to verify your account.
    I did precisely this recently when I had to wait for a couple of weeks for Internet to be connected at my new house.
    But, you need the router - unlike iPhone, iPad etc the atv2 will not connect to an ad hoc network.

  • Apple TV internet no Airplay from IPAD despite WIFI router

    Hi,
    My Apple TV2 is connected to my Ethernet wired network, there is a Netgear Modem Router on this network that allows DHCP and WIFI access WPA2 secured.
    The Apple TV can connect to the Mac to share the itune Library over wired ethernet.
    My Ipad connect to the same Netgear throught Wifi and I can access every Mac on the ethernet network with all apps.
    BUT No way to connect iPad Wifi to the wired ethernet connected Apple TV, I mean iPAD wifi to the netgear router to ethernet wire to the Apple TV, exactly what I do for mac's and pc's that are ethernet connected to the netgear Router.
    My iPad can connect to MAC with the same network for screen sharing with decicated Apps.
    If I unplug the apple TV from Ethernet wire and I configure WIFI, my Ipad connect instantly to the apple TV for Airplay or remote.
    Wifi is far too slow for Video display, you have to wait a lot before it start and it jitters, so I need the fester connection of my 1GB ethernet network from Apple TV to MAC, this is working well but then I cannot use ipad airplay...
    every Item is using DHCP from the netgear.
    I hope this is clear enought.
    Did anyone succeded in implementing such a network configuration???
    Does Apple TV neeeeddss direct WIFI for using Aiplay from iPad  (it's the same for iPhone by the way) ??? WHY  (performance, bonjour, marketing lock ??)
    Is there a way (by Jailbreak?) to enable ethernet wiring and Wifi on the Apple TV???
    Tahnk you for your help
    Regards
    Luis

    The netgear router did not work properly with apple TV, I disconnected its WIFI and use it only as a modem for internet cable to ethernet local network, so no wifi.
    I bought a time capsule that I included in my ethernet local network and used its wifi as a bridge for wifi devices (ipad iphones) to local network with internet acces through the modem router.
    Then I connected my apple tv2 to my ethernet local network.
    With this configuration my ipad or iphone can through time capsule wifi access ethernet local network and use apple TV2 to display ipad/iphone screen/video on my TV. superb indeed...
    regards

  • Unable to use AirPlay from multiple iOS and MacBook pro

    HI, I seem to be having issues using AirPlay From multiple iOS devices.
    I have the following devices, iphone 6 plus, iPad air (both Gen 1 and 2) an iPad 2 and a MacBook Pro running Yosemit. I also have 2 Apple TVs (both gen 1 and 2).
    Recently I have found that I am unable to use AirPlay on any of the iOS devices to either Apple TVs, the MacBook Pro will Airplay mirror ok, I am however able to use iTunes shairing from a Windows 8PC. I have restarted and also reset both Apple TVs and my router, I have also reset the connection settings on all the iOS devices but still can't resolve the issue.
    The Apple TVs have Internet connection so I can't see any issues network connections.
    ANyone else got got any Ideas?
    Thanks

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • How do my wife and i use the same ipad?

    How do my wife and i use the same ipad?

    Nothing keeps you from handing it "back and forth" to share. I do this all the time on our couch with my Wife's iPad...
    I think your quesiton revolves around having your own bookmarks and other data/info on the device. 
    The iPad is meant to be a "single user device"; there isn't a login/logout to differenciate one user from another.  "The iPad isn't a computer"..  ;-)
    But, that being said, there are lots of ways to share the iPad/iOS environment.  Many apps, such as Facebook, let you login and out..  so, while you share the same app, each of your login is different.
    For bookmarks and notepad it is a little trickier..  You can each use a different browser (so all of your bookmarks are complerety seperate.)
    In some cases I would sugest a couple get a $900 Macbook Air rather than an iPad if this sharing won't work.  "Why can't I log in and out of and iPad?".  I think that the fact that it doesn't gives the iPad many adantages over a computer.
    If you have more specific questions pleaser ask away.  Just like you share the kitchen table and many other things around your household, there are many ways to make this work!  ;-)

  • Can i use whatsapp from ipad?

    Can i use whatsapp from ipad?

    Whatsapp requires full phone capability and is only available for the iPhone. From their website :
    We support all iPhone devices no matter how old or new, as long they are running iPhone OS 3.1 and up. Sorry, but there is no iPod or iPad support at the moment.

  • Can I use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when connected to an AirPort via LAN cable?

    Well as stated above I'm wondering if I can use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when my PC is connected via LAN cable to an AirPort.
    I'm asking because usually your PC has to be on the same Wifi as your other Apple device, so AirPlay can function, and id love the ability to Stream via AirPlay but still be connected to the internet via LAN cable.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    AirPlay is not restricted to wireless only. It can also work over Ethernet. Basically as long as there is a connection (on the same subnet) between the iTunes host and the AirPlay "speaker" streaming should take place without any issues.
    FWIW, My Win8 PC is connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet. In turn my Apple TV is connected to the TC's wireless network. I have no trouble streaming from the PC to the Apple TV in this configuration.

  • I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared?

    I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared. It works perfectly well from my iPhone and iPad and tt did work for a while from the iMac allowing me to select multiple speakers including Apple TV and my two panasonic stereo systems which are airplay compatible, but now only works from iPhone/iPad. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    I as having a similar problem with the iOS remote application.  I was trying to stream my iMac's media to my Apple TV, but the iMac would not show up as a choice.  This was particularly frustrating because I have updated in the last to weeks to 1.) The Yosemite Beta on my iMac, 2.) New sotware on my ATV, and 3.) iOS8 on my phone.  It was impossible to ascertain which of those three updates was the culprit.  So after much troubleshooting (and much swearing), the following seemed to work:
    One-by-one, disengage home sharing on all three devices and then re-engage. Pretty simple.  Let us know if it works for you!

  • Use airplay from my screen to apple TV?

    My computer is Macbook pro mid 2010, i can use the airplay only from iTunes, is there any chance i can use airplay from my screen to apple TV by adding parts or driver?
    Thanks

    I believe you have to have the 2012 model or newer.

  • HT5517 AirPlay from iPad to tv

    have iTunes loaded on my PC.  Do I need it on my iPad to use airplay to protect from iPad to tv?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • Conflict between home sharing from MacBook Pro and airplay from ipad / iPhone?

    Just bought an Apple TV, and set it up yesterday. Everything works fine, with one exception. When I have iTunes open and home sharing turned on the Apple TV, when trying to mirror airplay from my ipad 4th gen or my iPhone 5s, I get nothing on the Apple TV, just black screen. It also makes the device run really sluggish.
    I've definitely narrowed it down to this conflict, quitting iTunes on the MacBook Pro immediately resolves the issue. So no big deal, right? Just turn off itunes. Except the whole point of buying the Apple TV is to have a central point I can stream all my media in the house from, I'd like to have my MacBook Pro, iMac, ipad and iPhone able to take control of the Apple TV without having to run across the house to turn iTunes on or off on the computers.
    This only happens when mirroring, normal airplay audio or video works just fine. MacBook Pro and Apple TV are hard wired Ethernet, ipad on wifi.
    Is this a known conflict? Is there any solution?

    Normally there ought to be an airplay button in the top menu bar (where also the battery, wifi, clock, etc are located). And in display settings at the bottom there ought to be a drop down menu labelled Airplay Display.
    If not, it seems that your Apple TV cannot be found. Are both on the same network? Have you enabled AirPlay in the Apple TV (Settings -> AirPlay set to On)?
