RELIABLE Way To Mirror Content From An iPad?

Hello,
I am looking for a RELIABLE way to mirror content from my iPad 3 to an HDTV; specifically from the applications of DirecTV, Dish Anywhere, or Showtime Anytime. HBO Go does indeed support AirPlay, but none of the others for now. I do see Apple has an 30-pin-to-HDMI cable to do this with, but also see allot of complaints because of the HDCP voodoo that is involved and only allowing certain content to be mirrored. Yup, it is all such a technological moving target when Hollywood lawyers are involved.
Unless someone has more information, it looks like my best bet "currently" is to use Apple's 30-pin-to-component cable for the most consistent (yet not as crisp) audio/video to my HDTV. Please weigh in with your firsthand experience especially.
BTW, does anyone know of any pending changes to this issue with iOS 7?

Thanks for that suggestion and yes, I do have AppleTV, but I am still unable to get some of the applications mentioned above to mirror to my HDTV. HA, in fact, how else whould I get AirPlay to work with my HDTV?
Once again, I am looking for an across the technological board way to mirror any audio/video content from my iPad 3 to my HDTV. No copyright protection hurdles, no HDMI handshake frustrations, no inconsitant digital dropouts.
Thanks,
Dr. Z.

  • How do I use a digital adapter to content from my iPad mini on to a TV?

    I have 32in Sony TV, an iPad Mini and a Lighting Digital AV Adapter.  I tried to get content from the iPad mini to my TV but the digital adapter only transferred the sound.  I used the adapter on an iPhone 5s, and it got both sound and video.  Why doesn't the Digital adapter work with the iPad mini?

    Thanks for your reply. 
    However, I am not talking about Apple TV.  I got the adapter to mirror material on my iPhone 5s to the Sony TV via the digital adapter, whether it was email or a movie, but it would not do the same with an iPad mini.  I am trying to find a way to mirror without Airplay. I use a Virtual Private Network for streaming some entertainment and other materials but sometimes the wifi transmission is uneven. I can get the material on the iPhone or iPad with no problem.  When I switch to Airplay, the transmission becomes unstable the picture lags or freezes.  Doesn't happen without Airplay.  So I bought a digital adapter, and it works fine but only for the VPN transmission on an iPhone 5s. Why does the iPhone 5s work with the digital adapter but the iPad mini does not? The digital adapter is an A1438.  I would like to get it to work with the iPad also.

  • How can I record content FROM an iPad and then publish it back to an iPad?

    Everything I search for talks about pushing content out to an iPad, but what if I want to capture/record content from an iPad? I am trying to do a software simulation, rather than a straigh record.
    I did find a third party application called Reflection that allows me to mirror, or reflect, the iPad onto my computer. The problem is that due to the way the content transmits from the iPad, I would have to manually capture each screen and corresponding action within Captivate.
    Any advice on on this?

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    I am not sure about the 3rd Party Application but if you can create a .mp4 video of your IPAD simulation then you can insert that video in Adobe Captivate 6 as a Slide Video.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get content from my iPad to show up on the tv screen using Apple TV without going thru iTunes?

    How can I get content from my iPad and my air book to show up on the tv screen using Apple TV, without going thru iTunes?

    You will need to use AirPlay to see that.
    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.

  • HT4527 My old computer broke but I have all my content on an iPad. How do I get the content from the iPad to a new computer?

    I had an old HP computer that had crashed about a week ago. I had all my music and apps stored on that computer but luckily, I also had all that stuff stored on my Ipad. Is there a way to transfer all the content from my iPad to a new computer?

    The ipad is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back

  • Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad ?

    Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad?

    there are parental control apps you can look into. Such as McGruff. You block safari in restrictions then use the mcgruff app. Or you can look into your router and see what settings you can change there.
    Also, depending on your service provider, some give you free access to content control.

  • The videos I purchased on iTunes are taking up all the storage on my IPad. Is there a way to remove them from my iPad to free up some storage, but store them in the cloud to access in the future?

    The videos I purchased on iTunes are taking up all the storage on my IPad. Is there a way to remove them from my iPad to free up some storage, but store them in the cloud to access in the future?

    Thx - the videos are on my Ipad - that is the problem - they are taking up all the storage and there is no room for anything else. Is there any place I can store them so that I can access them from time to time, but not have they use up all the space on the IPad? Sounds like the cloud is out...

  • HOW TO VIEW CONTENT FROM MY iPad ON APPLE TV

    How do I view content from my iPad on the Apple TV. I have checked the trouble shooting list and attempted find access instructions in the guide.

    You can do it wirelessly by AirPlay if you have one of those Apple TV. If your relatives or you don't have one, I suggest to buy a iPad AV Adapter or one of those composites one found here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable

  • How do I remove content from my IPAD?

    How do I remove content from my IPAD to free up space?

    Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You will see all of your apps in there. You can tap on the app and you can delete it in the next window - if that is what you really want to do.
    You can also unsync content with iTunes and keep all of your purchased content in iTunes on your computer, rather than deleting it all and having to download it again.
    You can transfer all of your purchased content into iTunes, then deselect the content that you want to remove, and then sync with iTunes to remove the content that you deselected.
    Transfer purchases.

  • What is the easiest & quickiest way to delete apps from an iPad?

    What is the easiest & quickiest way to delete apps from an iPad?

    You can delete apps directly on the iPad by pressing and holding any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking (you can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps). If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
    Or you can connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to remove the apps that you no longer want on the iPad

  • How do you transfer contents from old ipad to new?

    How do you transfer contents from old iPad to new?

    Caesar1948-
    I'm not using iCloud, so do not know for sure.  I feel as if I have more control by using iTunes on my computer, to determine what is on my iPad, and what gets deleted.
    If your wife will share the same Apple ID with you, you do not need to remove everything from the old iPad.  She can share your purchased Apps, music, et cetera.
    In iTunes, you can have several iOS devices sharing Apps under a common Apple ID, but you can also "uncheck" specific Apps you do not want on one of your devices.  Each device has an identity so iTunes should remember which App goes on which device during future syncs.
    If your wife will have her own individual Apple ID, you need to go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings.  This will return the iPad to factory defaults, except it will retain the latest iOS version installed.

  • When transfer content from current ipad to new one the apps didn't load

    when transfering data from existing ipad to new one using icloud,  the apps didn't download although the screen icons appear on the new ipad. how to fix?

    So images of the apps appear on your screen and you cannot open them?
    How did you transfer the data? Did you sync the content from itunes or restore the new ipad from the old ipad backup?
    The best way would be to backup the old one and restore the new one from that backup

  • Is there a way to paste content from one ID doc to another without importing the styles?

    Hi all,
    I often work with transferring content over from one catalog to another...each catalog has a completely different set of styles. Since I am an organization freak and like to keep things as organized as possible, it drives me crazy when all of the styles from the other ID doc are transferred over into my my new document. What I used to do was delete all of the styles from the catalog I was copying over from and save a copy like that simply for the use of copying information over (so that no styles were brought over), but I am currently working with copying over content from multiple catalogs that were built in InDesign and it will take me forever deleting all of the styles in those documents.
    Normally it is a GOOD thing when styles are copied over, but not in this case. It is not important that format is carried over either...I just want the content. Normally I will grab a bunch of content (tables, text boxes and images) at a time to copy over. I amjust not able to use "Paste without formatting" either:( It is greyed out. I very often use the "Paste without formatting" when pasting in text by itself into a text block and that works great! But is there any way I can do something similar with a bunch of contents that are being pasted? Or even if I just want to paste a text block or two?
    Help?
    Thank you so much in advance for your help:)
    Best,
    Christine

    Mary and Peter,
    Thank you both so much for your input...those are both really great ideas! I had actually not known about the ability to "break the link" to the styles... I must have missed seeing that all this time I have been using InDesign...that is really useful!! And I also like the ideas of renaming the styles...I will have to see what works best tomorrow as I continue on. There are just soooooo many different styles involved that renaming them may not be feasible in this particular instance so I may need to just "break the links"....but then I just remembered that there are lots of table styles, cell styles and character/paragraph styles linked with the tables alone that I have to copy over....grrrrr. (making my hair stand on end thinking of it...lol)
    Isn't there a way to break the links to EVERY style linked to one selected item (break the link to all table/cell/character/paragraph/object styles in one fell swoop) ?

  • How do I mirror safari from my ipad air to apple TV?

    Hello,
    when using my iPhone 5s, I get the option to connect to AirPlay and connect to my Apple TV, I also get the choice of mirror. On the iPAD I dont, so I can only see the option to connect to Apple TV, so I cannot mirror the whole screen, so only the likes of YouTube on the iPAD works,, whereas I can mirror the whole thing from my iPhone and display what ever I want.
    Doesnt the iPAD support this?
    All devices are running on the latest iOS 8.1.3

    Sorted. You have to drag the icon down and Mirror will appear.
