Can a memory stick be plugged into an iPad?

Can I plug a USB memory stick into an iPad and pull various things off of it?

Even if you get a USB stick to work - and some do with the camera connection kit - the only protocol the iPad supports natively is the import of photos and videos. ANd you can't get photos or videos off the ipad onto a stick, only onto the iPad.
For a USB to work - and only some do - you want to avoid ones like Sandisk or Kingston that have bundled software (or take that software off it). When that software runs it triggers the 'too much power' warning. You also want to avoid ones with big flashy LED lights. That too tries to draw too much power.
Any photos or videos have to follow a strickt naming convention. Be in a folder named DCIM and have a file name of only 8 characters plus extension (DSC_2344 for example)
If you want to attempt other files, you'll need one of those expensive things and read the reviews because I haven't heard much first hand experience with them.

My MacBook Pro has an SDXC card slot. I insert a SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo into slot but nothing happens and I can't find anything through finder or in utilities. Am I missing something or is it a faulty reader?

The SD card slot ois for SD cards not Memory Sticks. hat is why nothing is happening. you will need a Memory stick reader that connects to one of the USB ports.

Is there a device that I can plug into my iPad to get a USB port?

Is there a device that I can plug into my iPad to get a USB port?

Not really, no. The Camera Connection Kit has a USB port for the purpose of importing photos from USB flash drives, and some developers have written apps that can use that port for other purposes, but it doesn't give you a general-purpose USB port as would be present on a standard computer.
What is it you wish to connect to your iPad?
Regards.

Can I leave my ipod plugged into my car

That will degrade the battery. Apple recommends that you fully discharge and fully charge monthly.

I want to download pictures from a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo to my iPad 4. There is no cord for the camera and the USB dongle requires too much power through the camera connector kit. Any good solutions?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Why I can't insert the eject tool into my ipad 4's sim tray

Hey every one.
I have an iPad 4 wi-fi cellular
I want to ejec it's SIM tray but I can't push the eject tool into that tiny hole.It seems like there is no space for it.It just goes straight down and I can't insert it in a 45 degrees angle.
Someone plz heeelllpppp!

Give it a little push. If the tray still doesn't open I'd stop by the Apple Store and let them have a look.

M-Audio Black Box Interface. Acoustic guitar. No sound on monitor or on playback. Tried every setting known to man, except the one that must work. I appear to be recording - green lines in upper left. Can hear it on headphones plugged into M-Audio. ?

M-Audio Black Box with Acoustic/electric guitar plugged in. No sound on monitor or playback in GB. Have tried every setting I can imagine. Seems to recording because I have green bars in the upper left and can hear it on headphone into the M-Audio. Record volume in GB not active - but I'm guessing the M-Audio cancels that. Any ideas? Help wanted. Thanks.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Can i stop vibration when plugged into power source?

Hi Folks,
First time poster,
my wife is heavily pregnant and has been going to bed about 7pm, everytime I sneak into bed later on the night and plug my Iphone 4s into power to charge in DnD mode it vibrates and wakes her, she is getting really annoyed with this now and suggests I get an Andriod phone like the one she owns which does not do this.
How Can I stop the viration when I plug the phone into power? I do not wish to hack or cannibalise my Iphone. I need my phone next to the bed as I use it as my alarm clock and for emergencies.
thanks
J

If you don't mute the phone using the mute switch on the side, it will not vibrate plugging it into the charger or dock. But it will make a short sound instead.

My windows 8 pc can not find my printer plugged into my airport extreme. My mac and desktop computer running win 7 can. Help.

i can print from my win 7 and macbook air. however when running bonjour printer wizard on win 8 laptop, my printer does not show up on the list.

Thanks. It turns out that since I had received this printer as a cast-off from the office, it was still config'd with the old IP info. Once I set it for remote configuration (enabling something called "BOOTP" in the TCP/IP config sub-menu), I printed off the status page to find that all the addresses (IP, subnet, gateway) were "unspecified" with 0.0.0.0 values. But when I went back into the printer config menu, disabled BOOTP, and looked at the IP address, I saw that the printer had rec'd a new IP address (10.0.1.5) from the AEBS, I presume (I confess that I am by no means an experienced networker). I reprinted the status page to confirm the 10.0.1.5 IP, then I used that IP to install the printer on the PC via the method you suggested and everything works fine, thanks! One concern for future use, though. Is it possible that if the printer, AEBS, or PC are powered off and restarted, that the IP address of the printer will be changed by the AEBS and I will be unable to print to it? Since IP assignment by the AEBS is dynamic (right?), will this affect future printing? Something to do with DHCP renewal?

Can't Use iPhone when Plugged into certain USB Charger

The screen becomes completely unresponsive: cant slide the 'unlock' button; it behaves really weirdly, erratically. Same with scrolling and choosing podcasts. The behaviour is just weird. This is with a UK 'triangular' USB charger.The cheaper 'egg-shaped' chargers (with the red LED on them) show no such problem. Anyone know what's going on?

Sounds like a damaged device, take it to Apple for evaluation.
If it's under warranty, they will replace it.
If it's not under warranty, an Out of Warranty replacement is $149US.

How can I import photos from Iphoto into my Ipad

I tried to import photos I have on Iphoto into my new Ipad, but there is no import feature on Ipad to do so unless you put them in some sort of a folder, which I do not know how to do.
Can anyone help?
ET

If you don't know how to use iPhoto, launch iPhoto on your Mac, and select iPhoto Help from the help drop down menu.
Read the article that KP has posted above and take a look at this below.
In the photo below, I have a checkmark next to sync photos. The folder from which the photos are syncing is iPhoto on my Mac. You can also see that I have clicked - selected albums, events, and faces automatically. These events, albums, etc will sync every time the way I have this set up.
I can also add new events or albums when I sync if I choose to do so. You have to select the other albums, events, etc. that you want to sync by putting a checkmark in the box next to the event and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes and they will transfer to your iPad.

I do not have audio output when my guitar to usb cable is plugged into my ipad

I have a guitar to USB cable, I have the USB adapter for my iPad. I am trying to record my guitar in garageband, when the guitar to USB cable is plugged in I cannot hear anything, not even the metronome. If I try to playback what I recorded I cannot hear it, even with headphones. I unplug the cable and I can hear. I don't know what I am missing so that I can hear my guitar through the amp while I am recording.

Nope. Only the steps stated in the support document where you posted your query.

My sound says I have headphones plugged into my iPad, when I don't. Also sound only works with headphones plugged in

I have tried turning my iPad on and off (3 times!!!), I have tried cleaning the headphone thing (where it's plugged in), and I have tried plugging in and unplugging my headphones. Please help me I am frustrated

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
