Watching streaming videos on TV through iPad mini

My parents have an iPad mini. I got them a subscription to netflix and would like to buy a cable to connect iPad mini to their tv so they can watch streaming videos on there. A rep from Apple told me that there is no such cable and I must buy Apple TV. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for any help or adivce.

only apps which were made to support av out will display on the tv
test with the build in apple video app
if it does work and whatever other app don't the fault is with the other app not with the ipad and or cable

No Video Have Audio on iPad Mini, No Video Have Audio on iPad Mini

I used to be able to watch videos (streamed) from various websites with no issue.
However, today, all the videos have audio but no image/video at all.
I've tried checking everything and even using different browsers and apps to watch the videos but to no avail.
It shows the quicktime logo, audio playing but just can't watch my videos.
I'm using iPad mini purchased less than a month ago. Software updated to latest. Please help!

Close all of the apps that you were using to watch the videos, then reboot the iPad. Try one app at a time. If it still doesn't work, try another app, but close the first app before moving on to the next app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, reboot your router by unplugging it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Can't watch streaming videos anymore.

I am using Apple OS 10.4.11 (Tiger) with Flash Player 10.1 on a Desktop Emac and on a Laptop MacBook. Both computers are similar, if not identical in setup and software employed. Yesterday I could view streaming videos on both computers. Today I suddenly cannot view streaming videos on the Desktop, but I can on the Laptop. How is that possible? Webcams attempt to load on the Desktop, saying "Loading interface", but where the Laptop goes on to say "Initializing", the Desktop now says "Loading Error 102, please try again", but re-trying does not help. It is as though i have shut something off that was on before. I have tried downloading Java and Java Script, Flashplayer 10.102.64, checking to make sure no Firewall is up, Java is enabled, and everything else I have found online to try to remedy the situation, to no avail.
Occasionally, I accidentally trip an F key and have to work through it. Could I have tripped something that now won't let me watch streaming videos on my Desktop? Is that possible? I just can't find any answers. Any new suggestions?

Open System Preferences/QuickTime
Click the 'Streaming' tab
Set the speed to one slower than your network connection
Check 'Enable Instant on'
Drag the slider 2-3 notches from the left
Click the 'Browser' tab
Check 'Play movies automatically'
Check 'Save movies in disc cache'
Slide the size selector all the way to the right
Click 'Empty Download cache'
Close the panel and try viewing another video

IOS 8.0.2 Cannot watch/stream videos (YouTube)

Ever since I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to watch/stream videos, such as YouTube and other videos. All I see is a spinning circle like it's buffering, only it's not. I've tried it on various wifi's and even turned off my wifi using my data-streaming and still get spinning circle of death!!! Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions or advice anyone may have is much appreciated!

Safari keeps blocking when i watch streaming videos

Safari keeps blocking when i watch streaming videos. After 30 min it blocks the video and then all Safari is blocked with the colourful wheel turning for 2-3 minutes. What can I do? I updated flash to the latest version. It drives me nuts. I tried several links, it's not the link that is not working. HELP pls.

The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Describe the problem. Won't show videos? Won't take videos? Or other?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

How can I hook up my Sony surround sound to Apple TV to watch streaming videos?

How can I hook up Apple TV to my Sony surround sound to watch streaming video from Netflix?

Which Apple TV is it?
There should be outputs you can use for video/audio. The latest Apple TV has HDMI out. Find the correct cable that matches your TV and follow Sony's user manual to hook everything up correctly.

OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

The easiest way is to firstly export the movie to iTunes (Share > iTunes), then sync the iPad Mini with iTunes. In iTunes, include your movie as an item to be synced. After syncing, on the iPad it will appear in the Videos app. That's how I do it for my wife's Mini.
If you need help with exporting or with syncing to iTunes, please post back.
I'm caught up with something else at the moment, otherwise I'd give you full instructions now (just wanted to get this to you quickly).

Firefox Problems Watching Streaming Video (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)

I have Netflix, hulu, VH1, etc. accounts that I use currently to watch movies, t.v. shows, videos, etc. online (desktop) as my only means to any entertainment. I continually have problems with unexpected pauses, starts/stops, "getting stuck" & having to reboot.
I use the free version of Advanced Care Systems to "maintain" my computer. In the last month, I must used the ACS several times a day in order to watch streaming video. Something is obviously wrong. The last time I tried Google Chrome to watch, I did not have the same issues as often.
I love Firefox so I'd like to know what I can do to "fix" this problem.

"ImacG5 (3.0)"
I don't see that model listed.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301724-en How to identify your iMac
Please clarify which model iMac you actually have.
=======================
"I have multiple video viewers in addition to Quicktime Pro."
Which ones. Latest versions?
What type of internet service do you have? Cable, satallite, dialup or DSL?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?

We are getting ready to purchase the new iMac 27" and would like to know which is best for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive only

We are getting ready to purchase the new imac 27" and would like to know which is the best configuration for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive. We will have a fast fiberoptic internet connection.

the harddisk speed mean nothing when it comes to streaming video from the internet
even the fastests internet using fiberoptics is still much slower then the slowests harddisk you can buy

Unable to stream Videos from Mac and IPad 3 to TV

My Apple TV (1.Generation) is starting to work bad after an update.
I am no longer able to stream videos from IMac nor IPad 3 or IPhone 4.
Can anybody give me a help.
Thanks.

Not sure if I'm missing something here. AirPlay is the newer audio video streaming technology Apple implemented into their devices. Airplay video from a computer requires a newer Mac running Mountian Lion and a 2G or higher ATV. Streaming video from iTunes to a 1G ATV still works, it is similar to AirPlay but is technically not the same thing.
Streaming video from an iPad or iPhone to an Apple TV is using AirPlay and also requires using a 2 or 3G ATV. These are hardware limitations no HDMI cable can fix.
If you can not stream video from iTunes by selecting it on your Apple TV you have a problem. If you are trying to send video to the ATV by selecting it on a device you need a new ATV and/or computer.

When video taping on my ipad mini, I sometimes get a yellow rectangular box at the top of the screen after which I can't record when I tap the record button.

I do a lot of video taping on my ipad mini. Sometimes after I stop & try to start recording again, I get a yellow rectangular box at the top of the screen and can't record. If I keep taping the yellow box it disappears & I can video, but I've missed some taping time. I know there were some letters in the box,but I've never written down what they were.

The letters are AE/AF lock. If memory serves me well it's auto exposure/ auto focus lock. Practice with the camera in photo mode. Hold your finger on the item you want to focus on, a rectangle will appear, keep holding your finger on the screen till the rectangle enlarges twice. AE/AF should appear, the item should be in focus and stop going in and out of focus. Tap the screen to get rid of AE/AF.

Quicktime crashes while watching streaming video

Hi,
Who can help me?
Quicktime 7.2 often unexpectedly quits while I watch streaming video.
I tried - installing quicktime again, - using cable for internet instead of wireless, made a new account on my mac - got rid of the qt preferences -.. nothing works, it still quits while I watch online video.
who has the solution?

i am having the same problem, except when i try to open it using itunes it also closes down and gives me that error message. I also tried opening the files with nero and the problem occurs there also. i wish there was a fix for this because quicktime 6 worked great.
