I purchased Apple TV but don't get mirroring on my iPad gen 1. I asked specifically at the store owhether gen 1 was compatible with airplay and told all would be fine. I since saw a comment here that says iPad 2 and later is required. Is that true? What are my options? I want to stream photos and music.
Apple TV, iOS 5.0.1
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, you need the iPad 2 or better for AirPlay mirroring, but you can still use the basic AirPlay feature:
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Thanks...that really gives me what I'm looking for. Thought I tried that, but will double check.
iPad gen 1 compatibility with Airplay?
