Possible to stream home movies on iMac to iPad?

So I can stream videos–that I've bought and/or rented through iTunes on my iMac–to my iPad. But I see no way to stream home videos sitting in my iMac's iTune's movie folder to my iPad. Am I missing something?

Disregard, this was posted to wrong forum.

In iMovie 10.0.3,
Share the movie to iTunes.
Open iTunes.
Select your iPad in iTunes.
Click the movie tab.
Select your movie.

To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen.

How to put movies from iMac to iPad and use iMovie

I have enjoyed using iMovie on the Mac to create "Trailers" of my family movies. I purchased iMovie for iPad and there are some new interesting "Trailers", different from the ones on the Mac. So I'd like to try them out.
But I cannot figure out how to move .MOV files onto an iPad. (Ironic, I know). Here are the things I've tried.
1. I tried a straight drag and drop when the iPad was connected, from Finder window to iPad on the Device. No go.
2. I tried to create an iTunes playlist of the movie, which works fine on iTunes on the Mac. but
a. It won't show up on iTunes on the iPad, even after making sure it was supposed to be synced and checked
b. It won't show up in iMovie on the iPad
3. I tried to put it into iPhoto on the Mac, and made an 'album' with it. It won't show up on the iPad even after careful syncing.
As a test, i recorded a few seconds of video on the iPad, and of course it works fine. But the videos I am interested in turning into Trailers are movies I have already recorded of my family. "Gee, Wally, isn't there a way to do this?"
Is there any way to put a video from iMac to iPad?

additional info: I found some hint that the iPad can't take just any old movie format, so I used "Convert to format for iPad", an option i had never seen on iTunes on my imac before. But sadly, even the .m4v format of the movie will not show up on the iPad under iTunes nor under iMovie.
I can certainly take an iPad iMovie trailer to the iMac if I 'finish' it, but it is a final a product, so i would have to break it up into all the little sections again.
So I still cannot seem to move a movie file to the iPad iMovie edit window. All my 'finished' iMovies show up under "movies" on the iPad, but never under the iMovie edit window. Hope that's clear.
I want to use those new trailers with my home video.
NEWEST Update, still no joy
I found this tech article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4792 that says i can move an iMovie from iOS to iMovie on my Mac. I followed the steps exactly, but iMovie on teh Mac does not recognize the iMovie Trailer, so the Import button stays grayed out.
so close.

Streaming Home Movies

Maybe I'm doing this wrong but in iMovie I created a movie and added to iTunes to show on my apple tv menu. It is there but takes forever to buffer. It's only 8 minutes long. It plays movies I download and in "Movies" faster. Is there a way to make the streaming faster or configure it better?
The same goes for iPhoto movies. I wait forever for them to buffer.
Also is there a way to stop the remote from engaging my macbook pro's itunes at the same time I want it to control the apple tv? It's an endless circle.
Thanks,
Brian

You may be suffering from a mixture of poor networking and high datarates, what are the datarates of the movies you export from iMovie.
If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password))
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computerAND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

Is it possible to stream a Google Hangout session from iPad 2 to the TV?

Hosting a Google Hangout with 15 people at my house, to family in Seattle. I know I can download Google+ and participate (but not instigate) a Hangout session but can I connect the iPad 2 to the TV (via a composite cable or VGA cable or . . . ) so that we can all watch it on a big screen? Thought there was some way to 'mirror' the iPad to a bigger screen (ie a television).
Thanks much! Saw one solution on CNET but it involved jailbreaking which I am not willing to do.

GREAT! I seem to remember an ad for the original iPad that showed it in a classroom mirroring whatever was on the iPad to a screen. Can you tell me why my Composite connector won't work? Only a VGA or Digital AV adopter cable? You answered my question but just wondered what the difference was? THANKS MUCH!
(have to go buy one)
Will it mirror ANYTHING???? Could I use it to teach how to use an iPad????
Thank you!

Streaming music, movies using airplay and ipod touch on Macbook

I am not sure if this is possible but let me explain what I have with me.
I own an ipod touch 2nd gen, MacBook and airport express base station. Now ipod touch has iOS 4.2.1.
As title says, is it possible to stream music/movies from my ipod touch to macbook(instead of Apple tv). is it possible to use my macbook as an airplay device ? I know macbook doesn't comes with iOS, but I assume it is a superset of iOS.

No....
You can only use AirPlay at this time to stream to:
1. Apple TV
2. Airport Express
3. Other compatible powered speakers

ITunes 6/iPod: Upload home movies?

Any indication whether it is possible to upload home movies or personal footage?
Thanks.

heh!
The thing is that when Apple unveiled the iPod Photo, it seemed obvious to me that a video version would come very soon after that. We were on vacation and got a very good deal on the 40 Gb Photo, so we got it.
But yeah, it's kind of frustating to get any kind of digital device these days, a few months go by and it's already "obsolete" (note how freely I use the term "obsolete")

Streaming rented movies on ipad or Apple TV

Is it possible to stream rented movies after purchasing them? After sitting down with family I happily rented a movie from iTunes only to see that I have a 2h wait before we can watch it. I was surprised not to see it listed under purchased media. I didn't even realize that it was initially downloading. I frequently purchase SD episodes from my iPad or phone and access them from my Apple TV account. I am confused as to why I cannot do the same with a rented movie.

I appreciate the input. I gave iTunes another chance later that evening following the suggestions of others to use the Apple TV itself. Unfortunately the Apple TV does not always allow the rental of SD content which is usually cheaper and faster to download. I was still disappointed to see that even on the Apple TV the content did not stream and was required to download for more than an hour. The point of frustration is that rental content must be downloaded to any device at all. It is time consuming and unnecessary for something that is by definition temporary. It's not like it even has to be done that way. Many services allow streaming of rental content and even on iTunes if I were to purchase any of the same media it would be available to stream from any device on the same account. Some mentioned that they hate explaining that process. Apple used to be known for how intuitive its devices were. Known for anticipating new ways to use technology and the needs of its customers. It is ridiculous that there is a process to explain at all.

Rented movie on imac unable to watch on 2nd gen apple tv

I rented a movie on my imac through itunes. I would now like to watch that movie through apple tv (2nd generation), however the rented movie does not appear on apple TV. I only seem to be able to stream movies from my imac to apple tv that I have purchased. Is this correct, you can only stream purchased movies from imac to apple tv (2nd generation) not rented ones. thanks

I have played around with this for a while and am pretty sure you can't stream movies rented on an Imac via itunes to your apple TV (2nd generation). This is really annoying as I have a slow internet connection and being able to store rented movies on my imac would be really good. Why doesn't apple allow this I wonder?

I have numerous music movie clips that I have not purchased through iTunes, Is it possible to stream these "home" movies using iTunes to apple TV?
And if iTunes will not allow it, is there another complete program available that I can purchase to have my music movie clips stream to a TV and/or another computer?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, Winston C, I've actually tried everything you suggested. I'm thinking now that the Home Sharing problem likely is related to Bonjour--I've seen several people mention this with similar (but not identical) problems. The solution that seems to work for some people is to uninstall and reinstall Bonjour. Frankly, I don't want to go through the trouble given that the iOS 7 release is imminent.
One thing that I haven't tried is resetting the ATV to factory settings. I'll give that whirl.
Thanks for your advice!
