Streaming from icloud to ipad

Hi,
Not sure if this has been asked before but...... I was wondering if it is possible to stream iCloud content (movies, or tv shows) directly to my Mac Book Pro rather than just streaming to my Apple TV? As my Mac has a monitor, I would sometimes like to use the MBP or even my iPad to view previously purchased content. Thanks in advance...

Hey james thanks for the quick response!
I tried the reset twice but it had no effect on the streaming from icloud.
The song still starts near the middle. The thing is it never streamed the entire song, I just got icloud early this week. so not really sure what restarting may have done, unless you suspected a glitch with my ipad playing the song.

How can I delete my photos in streaming from iCloud?

How can I delete my photos in streaming from iCloud? Thank you.

Look, there are a million threads on this already.
The facts are:
1) you can't delete individuals photos from Photostream. Simple as that.
2) if you want to delete all the photos, then switch PS off on all your devices (including iPhoto), go to iCloud.com, click on your name, go to advanced settings and reset PS. They will be gone from all your devices and iCloud.
3) switch PS back on in all the same devices.
Let's hope this is sorted out in the near future.

Songs skip when streaming from iCloud

This problem occurs consistently. The track will skip as soon as it is fully loaded.
To explain clearly:
When you start a track which is not stored locally it "streams" from iCloud. (More like it is downloaded and stored temporarily than actual streaming.) As it starts it plays and downloads simultaneously. The progress bar fills light grey as the track downloads. It also fills dark grey as the track plays (also marked by a small diamond). As soon as the progress bar fills light grey indicating it is fully downloaded it skips to the next track where the process repeats.
This not happen with all tracks but it occurs with the majority of tracks.

Hello, Calandria
Is error correction enabled? (iTunes Preferences/Importing/Use Error Correction ... on my machine)
Another possibility, of course, would be that the CD was produced with a Windows-capable scheme to prevent copying the songs. Can't really help you if that's the case, though.
Good luck

How do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?

how do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?
I saved a corrected, most up to date version of my master Address Book Contacts as a back-up on my Mac Book Pro.
then in an effort to "simplify my life" i attempted to sync my I phone contacts - ( pre clean-up version) with my clean list on Mac Book Pro, New I pad and newly available icloud. DUH!! Using iTunes to do the sync caused the clean MacBOOK Pro list to be commingled with the dirty iphone contacts. amd now the whole mess is in the cloud.
I need to clear out the contaminated lists from all iplaces, and startover with Back-up on my macbook pro. BUT HOW???
Help
Karen

I had exported an address book backup: abbu
so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud. I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book.
To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop. I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud. Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook. The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts.
I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself. I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts.
I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
I feel empowered!!
Have i missed anything??

How do I get photos from iCloud TO iPad?

I connected my iPad in my computer and I dind't mean to restore it, but ir did. So now all my photos from the iPad are gone, but I know they are on iCloud. But the problem is I didn't make a backup from iCloud, and now I can't get them back to my iPad!
Please help me, I'm losing my mind here! There are over 1000 photos!
Thanks

The only photos backed up to iCloud are the ones in Camera Roll which are only there if you selected iCloud for your iPad Backup. If the backup was setup to be on the computer there may not be one on iCloud. Through the Restore process you should have been prompted to restore from a backup if available. This is you best option for recovering only those photos which were stored in Camera Roll.
iCloud does have the Photo Stream service which is not intended to be a back up but more of a service to share your photos between other devices. It is possible to use Shared Photo Streams for backups but it is also intened to be used to share photos. The "My Photo Stream" has a 1000 photo and 30 day limit in which photos are removed from the servers once these limits are reached. You can log into iCloud and turn on Photo stream on the iPad which will return any photo still available on the server, but not all will be there.
Since Photo Stream and iCloud are more of a syncing service other than string the limited data in the iOS backup irreplaceable files should be synced to a dedicated online photo back up service. Or at best transferred to a computer where they can be organized and properly backed up using external drives, CD/DVDs and/or other online services. Once organized iTunes can sync an additional copy for viewing on the iPad.
Good luck.

Photo stream from iphone to ipad

My phone got stolen now im trying to see my photos on my ipad, they both have the same user name. But u cant see them, on my ipad photo stream it show only 37 pics but i do have over 1000.. Any help ??

You're welcome. Restoring your backup to his phone will replace the data and settings on his phone with the ones on your old phone, so he would need to start by backup up his phone, then restore your backup, then import the recovered photos to your computer, then finish be restoring his backup back to his phone. His phone would also have to be running the same or higher version of iOS as your phone in order to use restore the backup. If it isn't, he would need to update it first. The specific steps are:
Upadate his phone the the same or higher iOS as your phone was running (if necessary)
Save any photo stream photos that are not in his camera roll to his camera roll so they are not lost. To do this, open his my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Create a current backup of his phone, either using iTunes or iCloud (iTunes is faster to restore to later). To back up using iTunes, connect the phone to his computer, open iTunes, click on the name of his phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of his iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Erase his phone by going to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then your should go through the setup screens on his phone as if it were yours and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and his charger as it is restoring the backup.
When finished, import the recovered photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Erase his phone again by going to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then he should go through the setup screens on his phone as if it were his and when given the option, choose either Restore from iCloud Backup or Restore from iTunes Backup depending on whether it was backed up using iCoud or iTunes in step 3. After restoring his backup his phone should be back to the way it was originally.

Slow streaming from iCloud to apple tv, slow streaming from iCloud to apple tv

The time it takes to stream tv or movie from icloud to apple tv 2 can run as long as 2 to 3 hours. I cannot find any settings that will improve the perfotmance. What can I do?

When it is going to sleep, it stops outward communications. Wireless connections can be frequently disconnected as well. If you want it to stay awake while streaming, go to the settings application and tap general, find the sleep settings and set to "Never". This will also keep your iPad from sleeping at all though, so make sure you lock it or close your Smart Cover ("Sleep/Wake with Smart Cover" must be enabled for the cover to put it to sleep, but it is enabled by default) or else the screen will stay on until the battery dies.
I prefer using either the dock connector to VGA adapter or the dock connector to HDMI to connect to the TV, that way it doesn't take up your Wireless Network's bandwidth, and you don't need to use the Apple TV either. The sleep problem will still exist, however, unless you change the sleep time like I mentioned above.

Cannot get photo stream on iCloud via iPad (viewing on Windows PC)

Here's the problem. I have activated Photo Stream on my iPad/iCloud service. When I sign into iCloud on my Windows PC, I do not see a Photo Stream icon. I do not know where my photos are. There is no where on iCloud to go find them (I just see icons for mail, calendar, etc.).
Also, We have one home PC (windows). My husband has an iPhone, I have an iPad. He set up Photo Stream and iCloud on his iPhone and he was able to locate his photos. He doesn't recall where they went on our PC, but he did a search for the folder and then moved the folder to c:\users\owner\My Pictures\My Photo Stream.
What I'm thinking is that he has taken up the logical default location for the Photostream photos with his iPhone and now I'm trying to locate my Photo Stream photos that came from my iPad.
I 'thought' that I would just be able to sign into iCloud and then see all my photos and I could choose to download, etc. But that doesn't seem to be the way it works. Any advice?
Thanks

You have to download the iCloud Control Panel on PC

Can't get photos from iCloud onto iPad since updating

HI guys, not very technical so please bear with me
Basically, I updated my iPad software yesterday and all my photos disappeared. So I shared them all again from my iPhone so they would then go back on to my iPad. This worked at first and then stopped working so some photos are on Ipad but not others, and I cannot figure out why or what to do to get my photos from icloud onto my iPad. Anyone know what is wrong or what I can do to fix it?
thanks in advance for any help

Can anyone help? Basically, any photos I send to iCloud are not going to my iPad now since updating. Would appreciate any advice please.
thanks

How do i transfer photos from icloud to ipad

How do i transfer photos from icloud to ipad

For older photos you could just create a new "Shared Photo Stream" via iCloud on your iPhone and share it with yourself or you could use another cloud storage service (like Dropbox or Flickr etc.) or you could transfer them via iTunes on a PC/Mac.

How to retrieve video from iCloud back to iPad?

What video do you mean? From an icloud backup? If so, you can only restore everything, you can't selectively restore just some of the data.
Otherwise, video does't sync to icloud.

EA6300 cannot video stream from computer to Ipad on my local networt

I was previously using Video Stream (from Connect3) to stream videos from my computer to my Ipad with no problem. I was using a WRT400n and now have upgraded to the EA6300. Now my Ipad can no longer acces the server on the computer. I tried port forwarding but that didn't work. I assume that some setting(s) on the router is blocking it. The computer is connected to the network using usb wireless. It was connected via cable when using the 400n.
Computer IP 192.168.1.118, ipad IP 192.168.1.40. Does anyone have any idea why the Ipad and computer cannot connect?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you able to stream videos to ipad if you connect the pc to router using ethernet only? It may need driver update if it works fine when the pc is directly connected to router using ethernet.
I can see that your router detected the ipad twice in the device list. In this case, try turning off your ipad. Once it is offline, remove it from the device list. Turn it back on, then go to connectivity and select local network. Click on DHCP reservation and reserve the ip address of the ipad. Check is streaming works after that.
You may also need to check if the router's firmware version is up to date. In the Connectivity>Basic tab, click on check for updates button. Proceed with the update if it prompts for it.
Another cause of this issue could be your Video Stream app. Try uninstalling/reinstalling this app or you may also try other video streaming apps like twonky.

Need to truly download music (not stream) from iCloud

So from everything I have observed since updating to ios6, and I have read, you can stream your songs from iCloud to your ios6 device, and they then appear to be "downloaded" from that point, but if I want to truly download an album or artist, say before I go on a trip where there is no cell service, the only way I can see to do that is to do the "old fashion" way of hooking up to a computer with my library and manually copying the music. Anything I'm missing? I sure like the convenience of not having to march up to the office to load up music before hitting the road... Is this yet another example of Apple taking away a feature without thinking of the implications of the users?

You aren't missing anything
Want to load specific tracks and albums do so via ITunes.
However if you are out and about and have a desire to listen to a track you forgot to load well you can stream via iCloud provided you have stable 3G/LTE or can get to a Wifi Hot spot.
When you have played the track it remains on your IDevice.
What does mean is that you save wasting storage capacity on your iDevice.
