Streaming mac content to ipad

Hi
I've spent time searching for a simple solution but so far all I have found is apple tv. I was hoping to avoid shelling out another £100. I want to stream content from my mac o my iPad 2 while in my house over my home wifi network. I'd also like to be able to stream content from the mac to my Samsung Internet tv (which is connected to the network via an Ethernet cable connected to the router).
Is there a simple solution?
Thanks
Neil

Just use iTunes Home Sharing to stream all your Mac iTunes content to your iPad.

That depends on what media formats your TV supports and what streaming protocols it uses. Most internet TVs use the UPnP/DLNA protocol and for that you'd need a DLNA server running somewhere on your network (Mac or NAS drive) that 'serves' your media content to DLNA compliant devices.
Personally, I have used Playback: http://www.yazsoft.com/products/playback/

  • Photo Stream - Mac Pro to Ipad

    Hi
    I have just installed Mountain Lion to our MacBook Pro. I am having issues with Photo Stream. I cannot seem to add photos from iphoto album in to the photo stream. It says they are uploading but nothing appears. I managed to add 5 yesterday, but today no additional photos will add.
    It is also unreliable as to when/how the images appear on to my ipad. I have tried switching photo stream on and off on icloud and in the settings on both devices. The photos did eventually sync (but I am not sure how!)
    Any help or wisdom would be welcomed.
    I am a novice.
    Thanks

    This should help, even if you are running Mavericks (as you should be):

    I can't find the AirPlay menu through control centre on iPad mini.  I don't have Apple TV. Means I can't stream some content (Netflix is uselessnow)Everything worked Ok but today an error message said I couln't stream video to TV. Fix suggested is turn off mirroring in AirPlay when there is NO MENU for Airplay in iPad mini or iPhone. All support advice keeps on about Apple Tv. I'm NOT USING Apple TV

  • I want to stream HD content from my Mac to my PS3

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 connected to 24" LED and a FW800 WD My Book Studio II (Contains my movies).
    Short of buying a Mac Mini and an AirPort express, what is the best way to stream HD and SD videos from iTunes on one mac, to the PS3.
    Using EyeConnect on the PS3, I can't even stream 1.5Mb/s PAL 576p 16:9 content encoded in H.264. The same content streams fine using the same router, on Front Row on a second mac.
    However, HD content works with neither. The Mac will stream it and drop around 1/6th of the frames of a 1080/24p 5.5Mb/s H.264 movie.
    So what software can I use on my Mac to stream to the PS3 SD content encoded as above, without the hideous lag I get at current?
    Secondly, what hardware solutions would allow me to stream HD content over my network to the PS3 or Mac?
    Thanks

    iCloud is not the way to do this. You should use Migration Assistant - with this you can transfer your complete User folder from the old Mac including preferences and logins. You will need to connect the two with FireWire or USB depending on the models.
    Ideally you should do this before you set up the new Mac - if you create a user account with the same name than the Migration will have to give the migrated user folder a different name. When you first switch on the new Mac it should ask you if you want to transfer your data, and give you instructions.

  • HT201077 I have Photo Stream enabled with Automatic downloads enabled. Yet when I try to join a Photo stream I get referred to The I Cloud start support page - this happens for both my Mac and my IPad. What can I do?

    I have Photo Stream enabled with Automatic downloads enabled. Yet when I try to join a Photo stream I get referred to The I Cloud start support page - this happens for both my Mac and my IPad. What can I do?

    The following is from this Apple Document: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    What do I need to use Photo Stream?
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
    You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later
    For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
    You need Mt. Lion in order to use Shared Photo Streams.

  • 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.

  • Streaming video from an iPad mini to a MacBook Pro using Airplay

    How do I stream video from my iPad to my MacBook Pro?  I want to watch the video content of my iPad mini on my MacBook Pro.  I have a mac-based application called "Reflector." and it says an iPad can stream video using Airplay, but I have no idea how to start Airplay (or cause it to stream video to the MBP).
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I can't seem to edit my old message so I will add as a reply.  I think my question may not be very clear.  Here is an image of my iPhone screen (running 7.1.2 and I'm sorry it's so big):  (Continue reading below the big image.)
    But as you see there is no Airplay button beside the AirDrop button on the control panel.  I see this same control panel on all my iDevices (or at least there is no Airplay icon on any of them).  How do I get this icon to appear.  By the way, I am using a Cisco wireless router - not an airport router (could that be the problem?)

  • How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my ipad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad

    I have photos on my Ipad that I copied from my PC (that I am selling) & now want to add my photos from my Mac to keep them all in one place.  When I try to sync it says it will delete the photos on my Ipad unless they were taken with the Ipad.  How can I just add what is on my Mac to my Ipad without deleting what is on my Ipad?

    "OK, so how do I transfer images to my computer? "
    This has been answered.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  You can e-mail them to yourself.
    " Whenever I connect the iPad to my Mac I get a message telling me that all the photos on the iPad will be replaced. Why?"
    This is the design of the product.  It will sycn with one computer.  Sycning to anotehr will erase hte current content.  The ipad simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
    "When I connect my mp3 player to my PC, at home, I can find the player in Explorer and edit the contents, move or delete files, add files from my computer etc. All under my controll, simple and easy."
    OK.  This is not the case with the  ipad.  It is not designed as a storage device.

  • Streaming music from my iPad to my iPod touch

    Is there a way to stream music from my iPad to my iPod touch?  I have an iPod touch that I never use anymore since I got the iPad; so connecting the iPod to my stereo would be the best solution for me.

    2. I don't want to have to go to the "wired" iPod or iPad everytime I want to change songs; I want to stream to the iPod just like you can to a Windows PC, a Mac or an Apple TV, but using the smaller footprint iPod Touch that I already own.
    OK.
    But it still doesn't do what you want.

    Hey davoodmac,
    Thanks for the question. To copy photos from your Mac to your iOS devices, you’ll want to use the Sync Photos option in iTunes. For more information, see the following resource:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You can use iPhoto or choose a folder of photos to sync to your device. You may also be interested in learning about iCloud Photo Sharing:

  • I need to Mirror the same content of iPad on multiple Apple TV simultaneously, can it be done

    I need to Mirror the same content of iPad on multiple Apple TV simultaneously.
    I have a iPad and three Apple TV in three different rooms, and I would like to play the same video or mirror simultaneously on all the Apple TV located in my three rooms. Is that possible?
    I would also like to know is it possible to have two iPad mirrored on to a single apple tv, so that I can view both my iPad screen on same apple TV simultaneously.
    Any suggestions?

    doubt it most local area networks would die having to stream such amount of data
