I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

Indeed :-)
This forum is riddled with questions by users that cannot get their computer to do what they want, *despite* the fact they use a very precise and (usually) unambiguous method of telling it want they want it to do -- a programming language. Making it comprehend *natural* language is, by any way of measuring, a number of degrees more difficult.
That said: in what way would a computer program (advanced or "dumb") be able to help the OP? Spell check is one -- but it's not a *fact* that anything written *badly* equals nonsense. In politics, for example, the most eloquent speakers still manage to make a fool of themselves :D The same goes for "grammar". Of course, bad grammar is more difficult to understand -- EVEN for a human. So a computer is bound to fail on that as well.
Fact checking then? I usually can't even find what I want in one go with Almighty Google (which seems to turn things around: if it cannot find "enough" web pages with the exact phrase you asked it, it automatically assumes you are interested in synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and other *unrelated* stuff! Yeah THANK you but I want to find what I typed in!)
A good starting point would be to define in more detail what this hypothetical software *ought* to do -- that needs to be a bit more concrete than "I want it to do my job for me."

  • Is there an App for the iPad that will show my GPS position on a world map, even if I'm at sea?

    Is there and App for the iPad that will show mu GPS position on a world map, even if I'm at sea?
    Thanks,

    There is no mobile data connection required to use GPS on land or sea. Once again your issue is the availability of downloadable maps/charts for the areas you will be traveling.
    Sorry, but you can't install an app like NAVIGON on an iPad without 3G cellular data connection:
    copied from NAVIGON app:
    ...can be installed on any iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPhone5 or iPad device (the navigation function is only available on the iPad WiFi+3G)
    Can I navigate with my mobile phone?
    Answer:In principle yes. For mobile phones there are both Onboardnavigation solutions and Offboardnavigation solutions.
    The following requirements must be fulfilled:
    •     The software must support the mobile phone. NAVIGON software
          always comes with a compatibility list. The software is guaranteed
          to work only for the mobile phones on this list.
    •     The mobile phone must have a GPS receiver. Many new mobile
           phones come with a built-in GPS receiver. Otherwise you can use
           an external GPS receiver which is connected to the mobile phone
           by cable or Bluetooth.
    •     It should be noted that an offboard solution incurs costs for using
          the mobile phone network to communicate with the provider's server.

  • Can I use the SDK on a PC to develop applications for the iPad, iPhone, etc

    I was thinking about paying the $99 a year to join the developer program because I want to download the SDK and try creating applications for the iPhone and iPad; however, can you download the SDK and use it on a PC or does it require that you have a Mac in order to do development work? The xcode4 and interface builder feature looked rather nice but I didn't know if I were to sign up and download if it would all run on my PC (Windows 7)or not.

    It will not run under windows, and you need an Intel-based Mac running Snow Leopard to use it. Have you looked at the Mac Mini?

  • Regesitered for $200 trade in. Recieved defective IPhone 6. While waiting for a new one top button on my IPhone 4s stops working. Am I out of luck for the $200?

    I recently order a new IPhone 6, I also signed up for the $200 trade in on my old IPhone 4s (which was working fine when I order my new phone). I then received my new IPhone 6 (old phone still working fine), while trying to set up the new phone with Verizon call center. I was trying to talk on speaker phone and the call center was unable to hear me. It was determined that my speaker phone was not working and that Verizon was going to send me a new phone. It was a little disappointing not being able to use my new phone and having to order a new phone paying for it (which I understand will be refunded once I send back my defective IPhone 6) also having to wait another month for my phone to come it was kind of annoying, which I am still waiting on. I still didn't ask for anything special I was just happy that Verizon was going to send me another phone. About a week later/ last Wednesday I noticed that my top button on my old IPhone 4s stopped working. I am wondering if since I was sent a defective phone and my old phone was still in perfect shape when the defective phone was received will I get $200? Or am I just out of luck?
    Thank you

  • I purchased keynote for my iphone 5, it is now asking me to pay again for the ipad mini? Is that right?

    I purchased keynote for my iphone 5 at Christmas and it worked great. I recently purchased an ipad mini and tried to upload keynotes onto it. However, the app store are trying to charge me again £6.99! I thought the purchase covered all mobile devices? I am purchasing with the same user account so am baffled as to why I am being charged again.
    Is this right?

    The app store will not charge you twice for the same product.
    Use iTunes on the second device then sync.

  • Any good visualizers for the iPad that work with iTunes?

    I have long wanted to hear my iTunes library through my home cinema system and watch the iTunes visualizer at the same time. Current Macs support mirroring on a TV via Apple TV, but mine are too old. I thought I could get around this with an iPad, but iTunes on the iPad does not feature a visualizer, so I'm looking at third party apps.
    I'm not too impressed with the App store search facilities though - it doens't seem to find a lot of things I've been told are on there. The Apple store I visited advised me to go this route, but Gravilocity and Light Beams - two I've been told about - don't show up in the searches.
    What I need is a good visualizer that I can run as well as iTunes (not as part of it) so that I can mirror this via Apple TV. I am working on the assumption that an iPad can play iTunes content, and allow you to open another software item on top of it? Sorry if that sounds dumb, but I've never used one.
    I'm sure there's probably something out there, but thus far I haven't found it.
    At present, what do you see on Apple TV when you play anything from iTunes? I understand front row has gone.
    If anyone can give me a few pointers to solve this puzzle, I would be most grateful.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it. Apple has a distinct preference for everything going through iTunes.
    You can look into word processor programs like Documents to Go, which have wifi syncing outside of iTunes, or other online services like Dropbox or others that allow you to upload and download documents, syncing them without going through iTunes.

  • HT4993 I got an iPhone 4S from work.  It has an activation lock and the guy that had it no longer works here...is there a way around it?

    All I'm wanting to do is unlock this so I can use it in a foreign country rather than buying a cheap phone when I get there.  Because it has the lock I can't get past that screen.  If I can Sprint will factory unlock for me. Is this a lost cause?

    You need to contact him and get the password.
    Sorry.

  • I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

    I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
    I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times.  I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Linc Davis,
    I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
    I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account.  I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa.  I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
    The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync".  I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
    Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP?  I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
    Thanks

    No, unless there's an iPad version of your App that the developer wants to sell separately.

  • I have ad Apple ID on my iPad , when I use the apple on my iPhone for the first time, I put in my Apple ID for the iPad, didn't work. Need to create a new one. Why? How can I just use my iPad ID on my iPhone?

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,

    This may sound crazy, but download any free app.  This often "shocks" the other apps into working.
