Watching films from IPAD to TV

watching films from IPAD to TV - I visited the apple store in windsor today and requested info on how to watch films from my IPAD to a flat screen TV - The girl was clueless and tried to sell me a lead which would not even connect to my TV !!!! = I beleive that I need either a composite or a component lead - both avail at the online store but am not aware of the difference between the two ???? grateful for any help

Self help should always come first.
You may want to read the manual anyway, that way you will know more about the kit you own.
That is how we learn about products and provide advice.
The iPad manual is here if you need it, it tells you about connecting the iPad to the TV.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPad_UserGuide.pdf
Or you can find it in the bookmarks in safari on your iPad.

You can't.
Their iPad app does not allow video airplay - check amazon suport.

How do I watch dvd from computer on Apple TV?

I bought the Apple TV with hopes to replace my DVD player. Unfortunately, I have to keep the DVD player around because the computer options won't see the DVD on my computer. Any suggestions?

no guarantees it'll work but have a look at Airfoil.

HT4799 Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen.

Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen and no picture.

Many online media providers block this - Sky and Amazon Prime do too I believe.
I would have to assume that the app providers cannot offer video Airplay for contractual reasons with the movie studios though it may just be they don;t want to enable their apps to do so.
It's not Apple preventing this, while you could see it would be in Apple's interest to push people to the iTunes store for media it could also drive people away.

This is supposed to happen, licensing issue mean that Apple can't AirPlay protected content to other devices. You might try VLC instead of Apples built in DVD player.

Just upgraded my ipad 2 software to iso7 and all my Video name titles have gone? I have 4 films on the ipad and I share about 200 films from my pc, now to watch a film I need to randomly select one to see which film it is before I play it.. This is bad!

You cannot go back to an earlier version of iOS.
If you are having Wi-Fi problems I suggest going to some location that offered free Wi-Fi. Your library or a Starbucks perhaps. Does your iPad connect there and work well?
If your iPad works well there you can eliminate the iPad and it's iOS as the cause of your problem.
If your iPad still acts up when connecting to the other Wi-Fi sources I'd suggest a visit to an Apple store to help discover the problem. Be sure to make an appointment prior to going to the Apple store.

Cannot watch films on apple side

I cannot watch films on apple side though I got the newest releas of quictime

Your original post does not make it clear where your films came from and therefore what format they are in. If they are not from the iTunes Store and have come from various other sources they may be in formats that QuickTime 10.1 (aka. QuickTime X) cannot itself understand.
It is possible however to install QuickTime Player 7 under Lion which understandard more 'older' formats, and then add various codecs to it to allow it to play many other formats that QuickTime X does not understand. The following downloads would probably be useful to you.

If you buy a film from itunes, can you watch it on multiple iPads at the same time?

SerZak is correct. There is a ten device limit. Yoy would still have to be signed into the correct ID in order to sync the Movie, even if you do not use Automatic Downloads, so the 10 device limit would still apply.
Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also beauthorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

Welcome to the Apple community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
If you have an iPad 2 or better, you may be able to mirror these videos.

No Wi-Fi after using Apple TV to watch video from iTunes?

After watching video from iTunes library on ATV2 , when trying to use mac afterwards wi-fi slow or stopped. I Have to unplug router to get it working again. Don't think its always being like this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

HT1751 can i put my films and shows on to an external hd and watch them from the external drive on the pc

i am enjoying downloading films and shows from itunes on to my pc but hd space is becoming an issue can i copy the files over to an exrenal hard drive and delete the orginals and watch them from the external hd thus saving space on the pc ?

Drag the existing iTunes library to the external drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it to that instance of the library.
