Streaming pics from Macbook Air onto iPad

Hi all
I recently delved into the world of the iPad. Now I've had a play around and got myself set up but I have one question.
On my Macbook Air (iPhoto) and on my NAS I have lots of photos. Ideally when I'm on my home network I'd like to be able to stream them onto my iPad without having to physically add them onto my iPad.
Is this possible? I was thinking this is how my iCloud account could help but apparently not.
Cheers, Sam.

OK, so now the video is no longer streaming (even from my iTunes library). I'm getting a msg on the my Sony HDTV that says "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. This content requires HDCP for playback". If my connection doesn't support HDCP (whatever that is), shouldn't I never have been able to stream video (instead of having the ability only 15 minutes ago)? I haven't changed any setup/configuration since having the ability to stream video.

  • Trouble Streaming shows from Macbook Air to AppleTV

    Every time I try to stream a television show, movie, etc. to my AppleTV that was purchased from iTunes on my MacBook Air, the content is so choppy as to be unwatchable. Oddly, the blue bar at the bottom of the display on AppleTV indicates that the show is fully "spooled up." Still, the shows pause randomly and very frequently. The pauses sometime last as long as a minute or more.
    This has only started recently and I have not made any significant changes to my Air or network. My home wireless network is comprised of a Time Machine and Airport Express.
    Is this is problem with my Air, AppleTV, Time Machine, Airport Express, or a combination of the above? It seems like there should be a simple fix for this.
    Any ideas?

    If this only started recently, try restarting all your equipment, if the problem persists you may be encountering interference from another device, try changing the wifi channel that your network operates over.

  • Syncing contacts from macbook air to iPad

    So I have the sync contacts checked on the ipad in itunes on the laptop, but it is not syncing the contacts from my computer to ipad. Any suggestions?

    You can sync contacts between the Mac and the iPad and vice versa via Wi-Fi if you setup an iCloud account. You get 5GB of free space. This way you have backup and storage.

    iCloud backs up:

    When I stream videos from my laptop onto my Apple TV via my iPad 2 using the Air Video app/server the video plays great however when I pause the video the Apple TV reverts back to the home screen within a few seconds and then when I want to restart watching the video I have to re-buffer the video. Is there any way I can stop the Apple TV from reverting back to the home screen when I pause the video I’m watching?

  • Stream iTunes Match from Macbook Air?

    I love how iTunes match streams right to my iPhone, so I can see all of my media without having it actually on my phone! Brilliant. However, is there a way to do thisa on my Macbook Air and iPad? Without having to download all of the library onto the device(s)?

    On your Macbook Air, yes, you can stream from iTunes Match without downloading the songs. All you have to do is go to Store > Turn On iTunes Match in iTunes, sign in with your account and password, and your library will be populated by the list of music that's in your iTunes Match. This doesn't actually copy all of the music onto your local hard drive, and you can stream it.
    On your iPad, yes and no. You can play all of your iTunes Match music on it, but just like the iPhone, it doesn't technically "stream." When you tap on a song to listen to it, it will actually download it to your device in the background. So the songs will take up space, but if you want you can delete them when you're done listening by swiping to the right and pressing Delete on each song (or album, or artist).

  • How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
    Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

    Can I install Lion from preloaded new MacBook Air onto my MacBook after I install Snow Leopard?

    That would be against the Software Licence Agreement. It may not work in as much as the Lion install on the MBA is machine specific. Pay the $29.

    I appricate your help but i am pretty sure i have lost all of my photos... My kids 1st day at school the lot...

  • Apple AirPort WiFi connects to MacBook Air and iPad but not iPod Touch

    I got my iPod touch 4th Gen in December for xmas and the wifi has worked perfectly fine until about a week ago only on my ipod, it just says 'Unable to Connect' everytime I try and connect but works on my MacBook Air and iPad
    It's a WPA2 Personal security
    I've tried all the suggestions on the Apple Support page, including resetting the network settings

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • ICal - I want my iMac, MacBook Air, and iPad to all "talk" and share iCal entries.  How can I get this to happen?

    I am hesitant to run the Migration Assistant for this reason.  I just want to enter an appointment on my desktop iMac and for it to show up in iCal on both my MacBook Air and iPad as well.  Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Jo Beth

    Once you configure iCloud preferences on your MBA it should automatically fetch your info from the cloud. Be sure that you set up your iCal account on the MBA.
