No computer just iPad and need help watching movies on apple tv

My computer crashed while back and I only use an iPad.  Just hooked up apple tv and rented a movie and it looks like you need to watch the movie from your iTunes. Is there anyway to use apple tv so it recognizes your iTunes from your iPad or  iPhone for that matter?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That article remains valid, the iPad 1 can AirPlay too, it just can't mirror.
Also, you don't need to watch rented movies from iTunes on your iPad, you can rent and download them straight to your Apple TV.

  • Trouble syncing photos onto iPad and need help

    I recently purchased an iPad for a family member for Christmas and it had been working fine until last night. When they attempted to add another photo album to the already existing ones on the iPad, itunes ended the sync, when it says "syncing photos," saying "the required file could not be found" and took of all of the photos that were on the iPad. The photos are stored in the main 'Pictures' gallery in folders where it normally syncs fine; however we do not know how to fix this or get the photos back on. There is plenty of room left on the iPad to store the photos, we have updated the iPad and itunes, and it always works when we sync our iPods.
    Any help would be much appreciated; thank-you!

    Hey AlanaRama:
    It could be that one of the photos that you are trying to sync is corrupted (or something).
    Try dividing the photos in half and try to sync each half to see if that helps to find the problem photo.
    This may help also:

  • I've got a new iPad and need to set up my apple and icloud account. I seem to have a problem when feeling in the Accounts part where it I need to to fill in the details of my residence. I live in Zambia and among the countries listed , Zambia is not

    I recently bought  a new iPad. When setting up Apple Account,the accounts details where I need to provide details of payment ,I have a challenge with info. Needed as ZIP,ADDRESS,PHONE NUMBER. This is so because my country Zambia is not among the many listed. Kindly advise

    If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787).  If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

  • Hello, I am new and needing help uploading .mov to my website ..

    Hello everyone, I have been attempting to get a short (about 3 min video with .mov extension) on my website. All I get is the red x. I have no idea what the html coding is to get this short video to play on my site when a visitor wants it to play. Can anyone in here help me with this?

    You're very close.
    Treat the object and embed tags as individual entries (even though the embed tag is "nested" inside the object tag).
    Each tag requires a source and height and width. They must match.
    The object tag should have the "classID" info (the long string of characters) and the "codebase". Both tags should also have the link to the QT plug-in page.
    You can view the html source of one of my pages to see how I use the tags:
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/California/index.html
    Notice the structure of the other object tags. You'll see a param name and a value. Each line must begin and end with < and>. The embed tags don't use the symbols.
    Sounds difficult. Use copy/paste from my code to your html page. Edit the information to point to your file and its height and width. Remove the entire line for controller="false" and kioskmode ="true" tags.

  • I accidentally set up my new ipad in itunes under the name of my existing ipad and need to set it up as a new device. Help. I cannot find a way to start fresh.

    That's probably not a good idea to try to share apps since you will have to switch ID's each time you update apps and sync apps from iTunes.
    And technically - according to Apple's terms - you cannot share apps using different ID's. You can actually lock yourself out of an ID for 90 days if you switch ID's and if you associate the iPad with another ID.
    The bold type is a copy and paste from the site that I referenced below.
    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.

    Hello there, dancingteacher.
    Removing and re-installing iTunes can be a challenging endeavor and has to be done in a very particular way. The following Knowledge Base article provides a clear, step-by-step process of removing iTunes:

    => is this a different iCloud account for each device?  I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
    You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data.  If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s).  If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own.  In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own.  Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID.  The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes.  Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.

    => what ID, iTunes?  So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address?  The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
    Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.  In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple.  Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account.  When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process.  If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service.  They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

  • I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox.  On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox.  I can't remember how I set this up.  Any help?

    The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
    You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    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.

  • I have an original iPad and need to restore it to factory settings. It was loaned to me and I don't have a back up via iTunes. Can anyone tell me how to do it without iTunes back up?

    I have an oritinal iPad and need to restore it to factory settings. I've followed the instuctions from the reset menu. When it powers back up it takes me to a screen indicating I need to attach it to iTunes. The iPad was loaned to me so I did not have a need to back it up. Can anyone help me restore the settings without connecting to iTunes?

    Helpjere-
    When you reset to factory settings, you erased all content and settings.  That restored it to factory settings except that it kept the latest iOS update.
    The person who loaned it to you can connect it to iTunes on their computer.  They will be given the option to restore from their backup.

  • I lost my iPad and need to change my apple ID.

    Hi Everyone
    Please help before I hit my new mac with a sledge hammer!!
    I recently lost my ipad and need to change my apple ID. When I go to the ID page it gives me the option of changing any of my details except my ID which does not have an edit button next to it. How can I change the ID itself and would I lose access to my existing apps if I did change it? I have spent hours signing out of every feature on both my mac and iphone but how can i do this from my now lost ipad and would it make any difference if i could? I am very confused and frustrated with all the apple jargon on the help pages and support communities. Please can somebody help by talking english to me??

    Why do you want to change the ID? If it's because you've lost your iPad just change the password so that the person now in posession of it can't get into your iCloud account.
    If you really want to change the address which forms the ID you can do this at http://appleid.apple.com provided that it isn't an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address - if it's one of those that would explain why you don't have an 'edit' button and you can't change it.
    It you were able to change the ID that won't affect your access to apps since the account itself remains the same, though of course the login has to be changed on every device signed into iCloud or iTunes.
    If you are going to change either the ID or the password you must turn of 'Find My iPhone' on any device it is enabled on or you will find yourself in difficulties.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.
