I am thinking, what happens when I go to a place where there's no wifi! Would it be possible to create an Ad Hoc network from my laptop, which the iPad would connect to and see all the videos on AirVideo?
I'm a new member and a new Apple device user. I come from Android and I decided therefore to try something new, fresh and so well spoken of: the iPad Air (16 GB WiFi only model).
streaming video on a local network. In Android this is a basic thing, you can do it in several ways with several app over different networks (SMB, FTP, SFTP, DLNA (UPNP), etc.). The first thing I did is to try the FTP streaming with VLC: suffice to say that after a second it closes itself (the video, not the app), and this happens with all the videos. I've been searching for a working alternative but so far I found only paid apps. I cannot pay for something I'm not completely sure it is going to work. Free alternatives of paid apps are extremely limited (i.e: no audio or even no network streaming).
is it possible on the iPad Air to stream video from a local network (preferably SMB and FTP) without any sort of conversion or trans-coding? What I would like to stream are video in 720p or 1080p, sometimes even 15 Gb Blurays. Files are either in mkv or mp4 format. I also always use subtitles.

Unable To Connect With Secure Network/my MacBook It Was A Number We Got In The Network Panel?
May 22, 2010
I don't know the proper lingo, being network illiterate, but I'm at at retreat where there is an ultra secure wireless signal set up where you can't just get the signal and enter the password, the host has to actually go in and manually add individual computer ID info in order to allow access --
for my macBook it was a number we got in the Network panel, under Ethernet # or something like that?THere doesn't seem to be an equivalent for the iPad that I can find. Sorry for the vagueness, but can anyone point me in a likely direction?

Oct 31, 2010
Has anyone used the new digital network at Starbuck's on their iPad? I was able to get into the Starbuck's main site on their free in-store wi-fi, but was unable to link to the new network. None of the staff could help. They said the network popped up immediately when they log into the network. I really want to check it out.

Unable To Connect Wi-fi Network/network Ask For A Code?
Sep 22, 2010
In the lobby of a motel with wi-fi network. The instructions was that upon initial connection the network would ask for a code which was to be entered. I went to setting, selected wi-fi and the name of the network it found. The Ipad brought up a new page containing a sign-in form.
When I selected the entry block to start the typing of the code the keyboard came up but then the key board went away before I could enter a letter. I tried it several times.Getting faster I was able to enter 4 of the letters. But the numbers were impossible because it took two actions on the keyboard to get a number.

Unable To Connect To WPA2 Network - Unable To Join Network Name
Aug 22, 2010
I cannot connect my iPad to a wireless network running WPA2. I simply get the message back "Unable to join the network network name". This has been tried on an Airport Express and a Cisco wireless concentrator. Disabling WPA2 and the iPad will connect to both networks without issues. What is iPads support for WPA and WPA2? No issues with either Macs running Mac OS X or other PCs running Windows or Linux on the same network.
Unable To Connect To Network/can't Even Connect To My Home Network?
Jun 28, 2010
Title says it all, bought a 64gig iPad wifi today...little did i know tons of users are having wifi problems...my problem doesnt seem to fit the others though. Most of what i've read people can connect for a bit,
and after being in sleep mode then it has problems. I can't even connect to my home network. Works fine with my ipod Touch, laptop, etc. I dont have any form of security set up on my router what so ever. I plan on buying a new router soon (for reasons other than this iPad crap.)
I'd really like to see some kind of resolution to this problem before i need to do that though.I tried all that i could out of the trouble shooting stuff. nothing worked. I even tried setting up a static IP for it. What else can be done? i really dont want to have to return it since its such a nice piece of tech.

IPad 2: Random Shut Down And Choppy Video Mostly During Playing High Quality Video?
Nov 2, 2011
I am experiencing random shut down mostly during playing high quality video(720p). It's also choppy. not all the time but rather sporadically and especially when playing scenes with lots of action.
I thought iPad 2 should have no problem at even playing 1080p movies. I'd like to try to fix it on my own first before wasting hours going to genius bar.
Transferring Video Files From My Windows PC To My Ipad - Video File Format ?
Jan 14, 2012
I've been having trouble transferring video files from my windows PC to my ipad. I know that itunes will not accept avi files or windows media files. Apple advised that mp4 was an acceptable format for itunes and ipad and I happened to have a couple of those files on my PC, which play through quicktime. For practice, I tried adding them to itunes. NO luck. I was able however able to get these files to my ipad by using dropbox. Now here is the kicker. They play fine on the ipad, but I cannot save them to "videos" it says there is no app to support this file. So right now they are sitting in my dropbox folder which is not good because space is limited. So...my question: What video file format will itunes or ipad like?? If I need to convert these files, what will work?
