How can you use your iphone or ipad to watch movies from this?

You need an VGA adapter connected from ipad to the projector. Netflix won't let you stream movies through that, but you can either watch movies from YouTube or buy them at ITunes Store. The projector is good, but if you want to have a clear image the room must be completely dark.

I bought the cheapest VGA adapter (dongle) I could find, and a very cheap VGA cord to connect it to the projector. This connection did not produce good enough quality to play anything on the iPad. I know it is not the fault of the projector because a Play Station 3 connected through HDMI worked perfectly fine. If you need to connect your iPhone or iPad, make sure you get connectors that will work, don't just look for price. Now I have to buy a new adapter.

Yes, you can view media files from storage with your iPad how ever it does not support for all video format for your ipad.

Not sure how you would use it with an iPad or iphone. It needs to connect to a USB receiver.

If you can I do not know how to do it. I tried doing it with my iPad and it would not let me. It is not as good as I thought it was going to be.

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.

Sorry, but I don't support Apple products. I can connect my Android devices though. Maybe you can Google how to connect your iphone to a projector. It does have a memory card in case if you want to watch movies/pics, etc. It's also great for presentations.

Not by itself. Think of it as a hdtv. You will need either a hardware solution such as a WiFi video streamer like a wicast. I used mine with chromecast and it works fine. Or a software solution like a remote app between your iPad and a computer.

You'll have to find an app that allows movie downloads. We sent this to another country so I don't know much on how to use it.

Hey Kim. Yes you can. What you need is an adaptor which apple sells on line. It should have hdmi on one end and whatever the display port is for your macbook on the other. I've also done this with this projector with my iphone and ipad to watch movies with an adaptor that has the multi pin apple ios port on one side and hdmi on the other. The projector has worked well for me, just make sure that the short throw distance of this model is appropriate for your space- the screen is huge at longer distances.

yes... download a generic remote viewing app... or view if it's now available for Apple. Or use a browser.

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

Think of it this way. Any format your iphone can play (mp4 for example), this unit can handle. So, you cannot, out of the box, stream an avi file to your iphone from it. You must convert the avi to mp4 first. Not because the drive can't handle avi, but because the phone can't. If you need a converter check out Smart Converter for Mac.

Are you asking about the audio connection or just hanging it on the iPad? Either should work.

Any device with HDMI video out will work with this projector. For the iPad or iPhone 4+ you will need to purchase an MX-Dock-to-HDMI adapter. Plug the HDMI cable into the projector and the device, press the Input button on the remote and choose HDMI. Some devices require that you select HDMI output also. As a side note, if you do purchase this device I suggest buying a smart remote as well. The remote is INCREDIBLY cheap and poorly designed. It has to be pointed directly at the projector and held close. If lost or broken you are screwed since no universal remote will work and several of the settings can't be set without it.

You can do that but you will need either an AppleTV ($100) or a Chromecast ($35) connected to your home network. Apple TV allows you to use AirPlay with you ipod, iphone or ipad, Chromecast allows you to stream from Android devices or computers.

I don't have an iPad but I do have several android devices and with the free software available in the app store, you can watch/view media directly from the device as well as transfer/download things from the drive to the device and back.
