Can this be used for an IPad to listen/watch a downloaded movie?

I don't have an Ipad but I have an Ipod touch that I use for Podcasts and Audiobooks and it works fine with that because it plugs into the earphone jack. I have a tablet on which I watch video and tried that. It really is the same when the device is plugged into the audio jack so that you could listen to the movie while it was playing on your Ipad and it would come through the car speakers. I guess I never thought of watching a video because that would be difficult while driving. If your thinking of better sound for a passenger while watching a movie that would work. Hope this helps. i use mine all the time and I've had it at least 5 or more years.

It cannot transmit video, but yes you could LISTEN to the audio side of something played back on an iPad because you can plug the 1/8" plug into it. I listen to an iPod using it frequently.

Yes, if the ipad has Bluetooth, which I'm sure it probably does. I use my set for watching movies on an android tablet.

Hi, I have used this device to stream MP4 and M4V to my iPad, iPhone etc. in the interface on your computer you are able to play files from this device by streaming or just plugging it in by USB. I did have DRM issues when trying to play a video purchased outside of iTunes in another player other than iTunes, however. Those I could only get to play by transferring through the iTunes interface.

i dont use the unit for streaming music , however if you go to their website they tout the unit to be able to do a lot regarding streaming of audio data for media devices like Ipad, likely it will do it

I don't know, because I don't use it for that - however, if you have apple TV you can stream it through there as well.... - hope that helps -

no, and it doesnt really work either, you can't play the itunes movies on your tv with it, you can use flixter but it will be a very small part of your tv,

Don't know. But like most small handheld devices the sound quality and volume is not all that great for music or movie watching. You need to use the ear buds or a quality Bluetooth speaker for those purposes.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with right app. Just remember though, there is no audio if that is something you want..

I'm not 100% positive. I bought as a gift, but it did work with netflix and playing other apps like angry birds. All that was on an iPad 2. So it should work.

That's what I was hoping for, but no, not from what I've seen from trying to use it. The issue is that you have to connect to this dongle as a WiFi network of its own, which means you can only play stuff already downloaded onto your device i.e. music or video already on your iPhone, not streaming. I think the Roku stick (coming out this week) is better for what you want to do.

No via usb, Yes by using the hdmi adapter for ipad or iphone in order to mirror your ipad content...

ITunes stores these as M4V files (movies) - how do you use the wifi to play them on your ipad? Can this alone let you stream movies or do you need another software to stream or do you have to convert out of the MPEG-4 Video File (.m4v) format to another to stream movies?I think some people are buying these to expand the otherwise fixed memory of an ipad so if you can't stream this is not going to work for us.

Absolutely, this is a great device for movies. If you subscribe to Netflix or hulu or something like that you can stream shows. You can also dowwnload them or copy them from you desktop or laptop to watch when you don't have a good WiFi connection.

You can install Raspbmc that supports airplay. But there is a known issue with ios7 support - ios7 devices play only sound, not video.

I connect my Ipad and play any file from iPad. I think you need a player because hard drive will not play any file for you.

I don't know the answer to that question. I have never tried to use it for input. I just use it when two of us want to listen to the same iPad movie on planes, etc. Sorry.
