On a PC similar but go to help the about iTunes and same box will come up.

The iTunes on the iPad is a link to the store for buying media-it does not functon like the program on a PC in any way.
There is no version to know.

Mar 27, 2013 5:43 PM in response to Badgertrby timothy.a.clifton,★HelpfulWell Netflix is already in your Apple TV so just sign in to your Netflix account and you should be able to stream. Also you can download the Netflix app for your iPad so you can watch Netflix when your not in front of your tv as long as your are connected to the Internet. You don't need to link your Apple TV or iPad for just Netflix.

Mar 27, 2013 5:53 PM in response to Badgertrby timothy.a.clifton,Well what your doing would really make sense since Netflix is already on the Apple TV no reason to AirPlay it to the app,e TV from your iPad, now if you want to put other videos up from your iPad not from Netflix or have your iPad on your big screen here is some useful information about AirPlay and how to set it up.
