Re: Apple TV, iPad iView
Hi Ronni and Daniel Ronni I did as you suggested but nothing seems to have changed. What I have found is that if I start watching an iView program on my iPad and then, after a few minutes, choose Apple TV it seems to work OK. Or at least it did when I tried that last evening. So I’ll just stay with that for the time being and hope it continues. Otherwise, if Apple TV is selected, the program starts to load then stops and keeps repeating that format.

Re: Apple TV, iPad iView
Hi Laura, As Daniel has mentioned it could be the Modem, or your Network. Sounds like something is causing dropouts and slow downs on your Network connections. Have you tried power cycling all your devices... Modem, Router (if you have one),Mac, iPad, AppleTV Shut them all down, then start the Modem let it complete its startup, then Router, then Mac, then iPad, then AppleTV.

Re: Apple TV, iPad iView
Hi Daniel Thanks for keeping on thinking! Given that everything else is working perfectly I can’t imagine this to be a modem issue and would prefer not to do any experiments in that regard. Some time ago I was having problems playing a DVD on my MBP and wanting to view it on Apple TV. With AppleCare on my MBP I contacted Apple but they were unable to solve the problem. I had forgotten that when I tried the other day with iView and no doubt was the reason it did not work. I was advised to use VLC even though that is not an Apple application. VLC is now set to open automatically whenever I insert a DVD into MBP. I drag the DVD into the media window, choose Airplay and watch on AppleTV. You might remember ages ago you advised WAMUG members to download that application (just in case). I was so glad I took your advice, as of course I always do -:) Is there any way of using VLC on my MacBookPro to watch an iView program on Apple TV? Although not the solution I want, when the iPad is so much more convenient, it could be an alternative until the problem is solved.
