Netflix on iPad vs. MacPro for display of movie

I like to watch Netflix movies on my iPad 3 and I just got a Macbook Pro w/Retina and the movies are not as sharp on the Macbook as they are on the iPad.  Has anyone found a solution to this issue or is it that the Netflix app for iPad has solved the problem and the Macbook Pro cannot handle it?
Thanks

common problem, open iPad iTunes and select music, then press home and restart your iPad

  • What is better for college? An iPad air or an iPad mini with retina display?

    I'm currently a junior in high school and I'll be graduating in the summer of 2015. My parents, well mostly dad, are planning on buying me the iPad air with 128 GB of memory. I got curious and went to look at the price and compare models and I saw that the iPad mini with retina display was the same as the iPad air, the only difference is the size. Since I saw that it was cheaper I was thinking on telling my parents to buy me that instead of the iPad air because it is more costy and my family isn't really the rich kind of people. I will be only using the iPad for school and nothing else since I have my iPod to play games on and stuff so it will only be used for purely educational purposes. Plus I've been hearing around that the iPad air is not that great and stuff because it has a bigger screen and such. Personally for me, I do not care about the screen size I just care about the price for my parents' sake because I don't like it when they have to spend a lot of money. So can you please help me decide on which to get and why it would be better than the other? Please and thank you.

    Unless you are going to store many thousands of high resolution photos and LOTs of movies or videos, you don't need a 128GB storage. Save some $ and get a smaller capacity.

  • Hey, I have an unopened iPad mini that I won at work and I'm wondering if there's an upgrade option where I can exchange this for an iPad mini with retina display? Thanks

    Take it to an Apple store and ask. All they can do is say no. They may ask for a purchase receipt to make sure it's not stolen.

  • Best slide size for displaying on ipad?

    What size of slide should I be creating on my MacBook for displaying on the iPad?

    From the Apple website, the iPad screen is 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi), so I would guess the default size of 1024 x 768 would be the best. However I don't have an iPad and have never used one, so you may want to ask in the community dedicated to iWork for iOS.

  • ITunes store for iPad won't display the movies / tvshow taps

    My iPad iTunes store will not display the (movies , tv show, music) taps at the end of the screen.

    Howard-
    Could you have used a different computer to do the initial setup of your iPad?  If so, the other computer's Apple ID may be what the iTunes store is looking for.
    To get around that, you may need to connect to your computer that has the correct ID and restore from iTunes.  In the worst case, you might need to reset the iPad to factory settings by erasing all data, and then set it up as new.

  • Ipad app for displaying pdf bookmarks

    I have the new 3rd generation iPad and I'm looking for an iPad app that will display bookmarked PDF's in a manner similar to how they are displayed on my computer (i.e., bookmarks listed in the navigation panel on the left side of the screen and the PDF document to the right of that).  I have the iBooks app but it only displays the bookmarks in the Table of Contents and doesn't show the document itself simultaneously.  I also have the free Adobe Reader app; however when I tap the bookmarks icon at the bottom of the app it only shows a few bookmarks even though the document contains many more (lately it also seems to crash whenever I try to use it).
    The PDF documents I review on a monthly basis are fairly large (2,000+ pages with 200+ bookmarks per document).  The ability to do some basic annotations would also be nice but not essential since I would do any serious annotation work to the file in Adobe Acrobat Professional on my computer.  Obviously, there are numerous PDF apps available but I can't tell from their descriptions if they will display the bookmarked files in the manner I want.  Any suggestions from users who have actual experience with various apps would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hey,
    I know this is not a reply to your question but I just wanted to ask you about a problem I encountered while  mail merging. The steps I follow: Create a mail merge in Microsoft Word using the necessary steps ( I am pretty sure that they are correct) and  then press the  Finish & Merge button. The messages are then in my configured Outlook's outbox. The problem is that they have been in the outbox for a whole night ad not even one message got sent.
    Please reply if you kow the answer.
    Thanks.

  • Can I use the same adapter for my ipad mini w/ retina display as I use for my iphone 4S?

    I have an iPad mini with retina display and an iPhone 4S.  Have both the small and large adapters (5W and 12W I believe) that came with the two products.  I am traveling abroad and want to know if I can just use the smaller adapter (little cube-shaped one, 5W) for both the ipad and the iphone.  OR, can I forgo taking the Apple adapters that were supplied, and instead use one of the travel adapters that has two 2.1-Amp USB ports?

    You can use the 5W to charge the iPhone, but if it charges the iPad Mini Retina, it will be slow, so you would have to turn it off and let it sit forever to get charged.  If you were going to take just one, take the 12 W on as you can use it to charge both devices without issue.
    I would recommend getting the Apple travel adapters if you are going abroad.  The 12W adapter should have a duck head you can pop off and put the international adaptation on there. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit

  • Exporting for display on Ipad stretches video?

    So I'm trying to export a project for display on an Ipad and when i do it keeps stretching the video. I've tried exporting it using both Export>Quicktime Conversion>Ipod, Ipone and Apple TV, I get the stretched picture every time. Any advice? I'm running FCP 5.1.4 and the sequence settings are as follows
    Frame size: HD (1440x1080)(16:9)
    Pixel Aspect: HD (1440x1080)
    Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
    Editing Timebase 29.97
    Quicktime Video settings
    HDV 720p60
    Quality: 100%
    Audio settings
    Rate: 48 kHz
    Depth; 16-bit
    Config: Default
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your video is Anamorphic and should have a Displayed size of 1920x1080 on a square pixel device such as your computer or iPad.
    Use the Export to QuickTime function (not Conversion) and make it Self Contained with Current Settings
    Open the exported video in QuickTime Player. Press command and i keys. Tell us exactly what it says in the Information window.
    You should use this file in Compressor to make the 720P end result.
    Why are you exporting as HDV? iOS devices require H.264.

  • Tips for DPS publishing for display on ipad & widescreen TVs

    Im looking into the use of ipad as a presentation controller, for connection to an HD TV (using HDMI?, apple TV? ideas?) for display.
    At the moment Ive designed folios horizontal at 768x1024 for ipad screen but should I instead be designing them at 1080 tall since the TV display for my audience is the priority?
    If I do that what happens to the ipad screen during display? does it cut off the edges? or squeeze to fit? or does it display at all?
    Ideally I would like the TV screen to display my folio full screen (without any black bars) but still be able to control, swipe and control interactivity from the ipad.
    Anyone have experience and tips for setting this up?
    thanks

    This question is related to AirPlay, not dps.
    When you mirror your iPad to an apple tv the output is always the same in 4:3 aspect ratio. This is for anything: the home screen, the web, games, magazines. Only videos might play in full screen on the apple tv.

  • Ipad Mini w/Retina Display - Question -

    Recently purchased the new iPad Mini w/Retina Display for teaching/education purposes. I want to use it with a ViewSonic VGA Projector to make use of my purchased iTunes content. (please note not yelling here, just trying to highlight my question) WHAT CONNECTOR DO I USE TO VIEW ITUNES PURCHASED CONTENT VIA A VGA PROJECTOR??? - I know everyone is disgusted with many of the Apple connectors that they offer which does the trick for displaying YouTube or NetFlix content or KeyNote Presentation info, but I need to view my legally purchased iTunes HD content - The error message that I get is as follows - "The Connected Display is NOT authorized to play protected movies" - yet, I purchased these movies? so what is up with that? I want to know what connector I can buy that gets around this issue. Thank you.
    AND if there isn't a connector available then how to I get around it, because there is always a way... Thank you.

    A mini-education:
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Map software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.  Navigation software is "map software on steroids."  It goes one step further in that it provides real-time directions to enable you to reach a desired destination.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once/year).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

  • My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

    My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Wifi does not work correctly on iPad Mini w/ Retina display

    I've found that Wifi does not work properly on the iPad mini w/ Retina display.
    Some background: I own three iPads (iPad mini w/ retina display, iPad mini, and iPad 3rd gen), an iPod touch 5th gen, and a Macbook Air, and use them all frequently with my pocket Wifi router.
    None of them exhibit any Wifi problems whatsoever except for my iPad mini w/ retina display.
    Here are the details:
    In the middle of using Wifi with my pocket Wifi router, the Wifi connection will abrubptly drop, then reconnect. After the Wifi reconnects, it is no longer able to connect to the internet (even though Wifi itself is connected).
    Once the iPad mini w/ retina display's Wifi gets into this state, the following may or may not restore WiFi temporarily:
    Restart the device
    Reset network settings
    Yet, even if connectevitiy is restored, the problem will happen again within minutes.
    When the iPad mini w/ retina display gets into this state, the Wifi on my iPod touch, other iPads, and on my Macbook Air work perfectly fine, so I know the problem is not with my Wifi device or it's connection, but specifically with the iPad mini w/ retina display
    Note:
    The iPad mini w/ retina display never has any issues with my home or work Wifi networks. The problem only happens when connected to my pocket Wifi device. Yet, all of my other iOS devices and my MacBook Air work perfectly with my pocket Wifi device, therefore I know the problem is not with the pocket Wifi device, but with the iPad mini with retina display.
    Solutions:
    Resetting the iPad mini w/ retina display to factory settings does not solve the problem
    Resetting network settings on the iPad mini w/ retina display does not solve the problem
    I have even replaced my original iPad mini w/ retina and got a new one. Yet, the new device exhibits the exact same behavior as the original device.
    Conclusion:
    I know this is not a hardware problem (since it happened with both my original as well as replacement device).
    I know this is not a problem with my pocket WiFi router, since it works perfectly with all of my other iOS devices and MacBook Air.
    Therefore, this must be a software / firmware bug with the iPad mini w/ retina display. Apple will need to fix this in a future software update.
    Has anyone else seen this problem?

    I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
    My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
    This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
    Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.

  • Trying to stream netflix from iPad to tv...not working...have av and hdmi hooked up...?????

    trying to stream netflix from iPad to tv, but not working...settings in iPad, or something?

    Sorry, totally missed that. Can you give some information about what is happening when you plug your iPad to the TV?
    For example, does normal mirroring work (i.e., do you see your iPad home screen on the TV when you plug it)? Does any application other than netflix (be it a game or another streaming application) work? Do you get an error? Does it just show a white/black/blank screen on your iPad and TV?

Maybe you are looking for
