Will the Magic Mouse Work with the new iPad?

I know it can work with the wireless keyboard.... but will it work with the mighty mouse?

You could argue that the iPad doesn't have a use for an external keyboard either. Yet it supports one. And truth be told this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, reasons having optional mouse support would be nice.
You see when typing on an external keyboard you have to reach up and over to tap the iPad. This gets tiring rather quickly. Ironically this is the very reason Steve Jobs argued that touchscreens don't work for notebook computers. A mouse would be more ergonomically sound in this situation. Also the method for selecting text with your finger kind of slow.
As for the lack of a mouse cursor.... as unsanctioned software tweaks have proven, one could easily be added while the mouse is connected.

  • Will  a Magic mouse work with a Ipad?

    I was told you can pair a magic mouse with a ipad! Tried to sync , but it won't work. Someone else told me you have to jailbreak the ipad. Is this the only way?

    To do what?
    There is no cursor to move around on the iPad.

  • Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

    Hi
    I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
    I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
    Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
    (I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

    I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences.  If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

  • Does Magic Mouse work with ipad air?

    Does Magic Mouse work with IPad Air?

    Yes, it is a Bluetooth device. However, my iPad will not connect to the mouse.  Not sure why.
    I use my iPad as my personal computer. Mainly for surfing the web, social media, paying bills online... I already have a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the iPad, so thought it would be nice to have a mouse.

  • Will the new iPad open password protected PDF files?

    I attend college online, and have always had a problem viewing password protected PDF files on my iPad. Will the new iPad allow opening these files?
    Thank you!

    You can install the same iOS version running the new iPad onto your iPad.
    Download the free Adobe Reader app from the App Store. It opens password protected PDFs just like thee desktop version.

  • Will the new iPad cases fit on an IPad 2

    Will the new iPad cases fit on an IPad 2?

    It appears that it only fits the new iPad. Here is the description page. Go down to the lower left corner where it talks about compatibility.

  • How many music cd's will the new Ipad air hold in 16g, 32g and 64g?

    How many music cd's will the new Ipad air hold in 16g, 32g and 64g? Thanks much, Greg

    That is hard to say accuratetely. As it depends on the format and length of audio. If you know the average file size of the Audio files you wish to transfer you can easily calculate.
    Otherwise its like asking how many books fit in a 2 by 2 box  The answer will vary largely by type and size of book.
    For a base comparison normal mp3's at around 3 minutes in length take up about 1MB per minute. so you could probably fit 20,000 of those in a 64GB iPad. considering some space is taken up by apps and OS.
    Double the size for more quality, and you'll get about half. so only 10,000.
    But at the end it will depend on the format, and file size of the audio.

  • Will The New iPad Support Java?

    Will the new iPad support Java?

    The support would come from the new Operating System rather than the hardware itself, so the question really is does iOS 4.3 support it ... and the answer is no, I'm afraid. None of the add-ins (Java, Flash, Silverlight) can be added.

  • Will the new iPad Mini with Retina Display fit into the older iPad Mini case?  (Will it be the same size?)

    I am planning to purchase the new iPad Mini with Retina Display when it comes out this month.  I am curious to know whether it will fit into the older iPad Mini cases that are currently available.  I wasn't sure whether I should go ahead and buy a case, or if I should wait due to a size difference.  Thanks!

    The 'old' case will cover the rear microphone, but the new and currently sold iPad mini smart case has the cutout for the rear microphone. It can clearly be seen on mini Smart Case photo.
    I had a black mini SmartCase on order at the time I posted the above.  Although my mini-retina won't arrive for a couple of weeks the case arrived today.  I has the cutout for the rear microphone just as shown in the images on the Apple Store.

  • Will the new IPad display PDFs quicker?

    I use my IPad 1 to follow musical scores that I have downloaded (legally) in PDF. Some complex scores with a large number of instruments can take several seconds to refresh the screen after changing pages. I have compared this against an IPad 2 and it was slightly quicker but not enough to warrant an upgrade. The question is will the increased graphics power of the new IPad offer quicker page loading than an IPad 2 or is the page updating down to the CPU? If the latter the new IPad does not offer any advantages.

    Ralph thanks for the reply. I tried Goddreader and it was faster but not fast enough.
    From what I've read the iPad3 has a faster GPU but has the same processor so my question really revolves on whether the slow page update is caused by the page re-drawing which is more GPU dependent. I would have thought it was and so a new iPad may be worth a try.
