If I download movies I own to the seagate, then connect it wirelessly to my iPad how does it find the movies to play. Do I need an app on my iPad?

There is a Seagate application ,yes. The other and better application is CinEX player HD

I gave this as a gift, but if I remember correctly, there is an app required that allows you to access the contents of the hard drive.

Inside of folders you can include size version to show on the ipad, example you create the video for each format, iphone, ipad, Tv, pc..etc so it will depend on your organization inside the folder videos the app only of access to directories.

Yes as long as you download the app to your iPad and your movies are in mv4 format. If there in an avi, DivX format you will need to download a player to the iPad that will play those formats

From what I understand you can download without a PC. But I have not attempted it. I used it mainly to stream movies from a memory card to my iPad. Wish I could be more help.

Hi. I used it for Netflix and HBO GO. Make sure your IPAD or IPOD has the latest Apple OS (Operating System). Sometimes I also get the sound with no picture when I first start using it. If you only get sound but no picture end the App and disconnect the cable. Push the cable back on again and go into the App again. You can also try keeping the cable connected but just ending the APP and then start the APP again.

You can download from an external drive or flashdrive to an Ipad through the wireless connection. Not sure there is a hardwired adapter for the ipad.

There is software available from Pogoplug that you can download that lets you see the attached drive(s) on your network. All you would have to do on your tablet is to browse that drive and pick your movie and play it directly. You need to make sure your tablet's video player has the proper codec and supports the resolution of the video i.e. you cant play 1080p movie if your device only supports 720p etc.

This has been a great device, we have not had any problems with it. Stores heaps of movies and TV series. Just plug in to computer and drag and drop to copy files to it. Plugs straight into the TV or DVD player (if it has a USB port) select input and play movies. Easy!

It's important to know which particular connector cord you're using, & what you're trying to achieve. If you're trying to play music or Netflix/YouTube Player, the red/white/yellow cords must be plugged into the audio/video input outlets on the tv, and select audio/video input or output 1 or 2 (depending on which you plug into) If you wish to only play photo slide shows, then it's generally the HDMI USB port(& selecting the usb option with your remote). Not knowing what you're attempting to play, I recommend trying each cord and using your remote audio/video input/output settings - to experiment FYI: I use this for both my iPad AND iPhone - have not yet tried with dig. camera, but that's the same pretty much, as using your iphone to display the pics Mine actually works best with playing Netflix thru my iPhone, as the iPad has an angled port, and setting the iPad down with the cord in, requires that the edge of the pad with cord in, has to hang over the edge of your t.v. stand, to not interfere with the connection. Honestly, I LOVE this device - I would NOT give up or get frustrated - it took me a whole day to figure the thing out (because I'm too impatient to read, and don't always trust instructions)

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.

Yes. When you install the Wi-Drive app and connect to the Wi-Drive with wi-fi, you can move photos, music, videos, documents, etc. back and forth between the Wi-Drive and your iPad or iPhone. The Wi-Drive is essentially a back door into your iPad/iPhone bypassing iTunes and Apple's "our way or the highway" approach in designing their gear. The Wi-Drive creates its own memory partition on the iPad/iPhone that is accessed via the app. Its one of the handiest gadgets I've ever owned. Take that, Steve Jobs, wherever you languish now!

For some reason you can't play iTunes movies or tv shows from the Wi Drive App, (DRM maybe). What you can do is go to your browser after you select the Wi Drive as your Wi-Fi network and enter this IP address:192.168.200.254 and the drive contents should come up. If your iTunes account is the account the movies were purchased on, they should play.

I haven't stored games on it. But I assume u can since I have stored movies and all my pics on it. It's a wireless flash drive so I assume so. I love it since I have a ipad and now I can transfer stuff without plugging into my laptop. Really saved me when I was on a trip and was able to transfer my pics onto it.

I put my external hard drive and didnt play anything because it didnt recognized it, maybe you can just put pen drives , you can controll it with your ipod ipad android thats a cool thing

This doesn't "play" anything. It is a storage device, like any thumb drive or hard drive. If your device is able to access the files you store on the RAVPower FileHub, and that device is able to play .mov files, then you can watch them on your device.

Yeah, Seagate has their app available on the app store from where you can upload anything from your phone to the HDD over WiFi.

I found that the blu ray player has to be connected to the network via wireless. A hard wired connection won't allow the iphone app to work. No idea why, but I tried for a long time to get it to work over a wired connection. Everything showed up on the network just as you are finding. It worked the first time via wireless. I found that out via scanning several forums. Hope this helps.
