home sharing Can this be used to set up home sharing, so that I could access movies wirelessly with my apple tv?

I am wondering something similar. Can this be used to store the iTunes library to be accessed with Apple TV (then sent through the A/V receiver?)

Yes, that is exactly what I do. I store my iTunes library on my time capsule so that inhale only one iTunes library that is shared by my PC and Macs and my Apple TV. It also means you don't need your computer on to access your iTunes from your Apple TV.

Yes. Any Apple item could connect to the router whether you use wi fi or an ethernet cable.

nope - well not with this setup. i would google around but my ipad mini's port is specialized so to use this you would need an ipad mini connector/converter to thunderbolt input. It works great on my Macbook air to hdmi out to tv, but currently I have an Apple TV box and I am able to mirror wireless to my tv through the Apple TV - it's called AirPlay Mirroring and it's compatible with iPads and new versions of IOS.

Unfortunately, no. There are plenty of media servers it will work with, but Apple, of course, lives in its own proprietary world.

The short answer is yes. The long answer, you will need to have a working knowledge of ip addresses, access points, and your router in order to get it working. The instructions that come with it are suitable for someone with some network knowledge. It will not be plug and play. And since you are using apple products that might be a challenge.... Ha ha.

Yes it can. I had the Apple TV but didn't like the options that my rocku had but you certainy can use it.

You want to look at an hdmi edid emulator. I tried one but it didn't work, so I went with an AppleTV, and the Compulab product to enable AirPlay mirroring.

Yes, since it doesn't access the files directly. You'll need an iPhone, iPod, Mac, etc using AirPlay to stream to it.

I don't think this will help you, as it allows you to connect devices via an Ethernet connection (e.g., desktop PCs, most laptops, Internet-ready Blu-ray players). You will need a wireless router for your home's Internet connection and connect your iPad to that router via Wi-Fi.

I don't know how you configured your system to watch movies. I used iTunes to create a library of movies, TV shows, and music on the drive, which is connected via USB to my iMac. I then have an Apple TV device connected to my TV (Yes, I also have a Visio) using an HDMI port. The iMac and Apple TV can converse with each other to play movies through my Wi-Fi system (I have an Apple Time Capsule, but your Wi-Fi could easily be something else). Just bring up iTunes on the computer and select the library on the drive and you're good to go.

No, not without adding a VGA to HDMI adapter to it. I used this adapter on a stage to show my iPad on a large screen through a VGA connection. Apple TV ($99) will do what you want wirelessly. Or google chrome for much cheaper ($35) I'm no expert, but this was my experience. This adapter alone will not connect to an HDMI connection without adding yet another adapter as well.

Hi P. Shustak. I do not have an Apple TV but you may find the answer here http://www.newkinetix.com/Mine works like a charm with a BenQ projector, a Sony Home Theatre and a Western Digital TV Live.

You can't mirror the iPhone with this device, you can only use it with apps that support AirPlay. So you most likely would not be able to play games, and Safari does not support airplay at this time either. I use it to stream movies to my television via NetFlix, YouTube or my own home server. I hope this helped.

Yes...You can program it to work with Apple TV using an existing Apple Remote as a source...

Is it possible? Yes. Is it practical? No. Based on app version 2.6.6, firmware 2.9, iPhone w/ 7.0.4, iPad w/ 6.1.3, the app doesn't directly support AirPlay. You can do it by: 1. Connect Media Drive to your home access point over wifi. 2. Determine the Media Drive's IP address on your home wifi network. This is NOT the 192.168.11.1 address of the Media Drive's self-generated wifi network. 3. Access the web portal through the browser by entering the IP address of step 2. You need to use a browser that allows User Agent spoofing (I use Mercury). Set the User Agent to some desktop browser. If the drive thinks you're connecting with a mobile browser, it will instead prompt you to connect with the app. 4. Browse to the video of your choice, click twice, and stream to Apple TV. This is both cumbersome and requires a lot of free bandwidth on your home network. The stream is bouncing from Media Drive, to router, to iPad, back to router, to Apple TV. My experience has been that it's not a great solution.

IF the latest Apple anything uses standard HDMI cable interfaces it will work with the Apple TV. I personally have nothing made by Apple in my home. These cables are impressive in their quality and you will not be disappointed with your purchase if you choose to go with this vendor.
