If you have an iPad with the latest iOS installed and a second generation AppleTV you have access to a feature called AirPlay. This article will tell you how to use Airplay on the iPad with AppleTV.

What is AirPlay

4.2 Released for one of the new features the iPad AirPlay was iOS than Apple. You cannot watch video or listen audio on your iPad and rating iPad to any TV with a second-generation AppleTV AirPlay as “Key” that the content can be transferred IPAD, of. It allows photos with AppleTV and other media depending on sending application.

You might ask: “What’s the point?” I have the same thing, but I have recently discovered, what I think is the best reason for AirPlay. If you see a film in another room decide rather on your iPad and you see on your TV. The videos directly on your TV with AirPlay by the iPad sent the TV on an AppleTV (second generation) until it can be addictive and continue from the same point in the movie. Without AirPlay would you forward the movie on the AppleTV start and where you were in the movie, or close the iPad on your computer and have the film sync iTunes to get it to the same location. AirPlay takes the fast forwarding and synchronize and will save you a lot of time.

This is just a bet. Many applications begin to integrate AirPlay, so that the content on your TV display. But some, the video functionality (E.g. the EyeTV app) can have only audio project. Video was still play n of the iPad. Hopefully will change this.

How to use AirPlay on the iPad

AirPlay is very easy to use. If you are using an app that is AirPlay capable you will see the icon shown below in the app. If it is a video app this will be on the right of the player controls. With your AppleTV on press the AirPlay button. You will be presented with a list of devices (the AppleTV and iPad). Press AppleTV and the content will start streaming to the AppleTV and stop playing on the iPad.

If the app can only stream audio, the video content will continue playing on the iPad.

If AirPlay is not working, trying the following:

1. Make sure your iPad has iOS 4.2 installed. To do this connect to iTunes and in the iPad information screen your check the iOS version. If it is not 4.2 or greater click “Check for Updates.”

2. Make sure the AppleTV has AirPlay enabled. To do this go to the Settings menu on the AppleTV screen and choose AirPlay. Turn AirPlay on in the options.

When you are finished using AirPlay press that AirPlay icon on the iPad again and choose “iPad.” This will bring the content back to your iPad.

AirPlay can be very useful, or not useful at all, depending on how you choose to use it and how often. Once more and more apps can take advantage of the technology I think I’ll be using it a lot more.
