How do I connect my iPad to apple tv?

I don't think it's possible, yet, except from a few apps like iPhoto, YouTube, those that support the protocol for streaming video data. I too was hoping to stream the screen.

I stand corrected, iPad can stream screen to appleTV. It's in the user guide, I believe on page 39, search for AirPlay.

Either swipe up or double click home button, pan all the way over to the left, click on the TV icon, select appleTV and turn on mirroring. Both devices must be on the same wifi network.

Your response is confusing. Where does one obtain a manual that has 39 pages? Also, on which device is the "Home Screen" to which you refer?

Thanks

I searched for iPad in iBooks and found the user guide. I do not see where I mention "home screen", but I assume you mean home button, which is on the iPad. Double click on the home button to reveal the multitasking bar and scroll all the way to the left for the appleTV icon. Its all in the user guide.

If you have an iPad (notice there is NO 2, I mean the original) there is no screen mirroring to my knowledge. You need to get the adapter cable from apple to direct connect and do what is supported.

Only the iPad2 supports AirPlay unless that changed recently.

I do this but the icon is not there
