Can i conect my external storage device using the adaptor for a USB conection to my I-Pad 2 and read my files on the I-pad

Can I conect and read my files form an external storage device, using the USB conection, on an I-pad2

The camera connection kit USB connector can only be used for import of photos & videos. Can't be used for export of any files.

  • Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

    Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable. 

    Hi CJR
    I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
    Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
    TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups.  Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
    My back-up plan is as follows:
    1.  Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
    2.  Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
    3.  iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
    4.  Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
    5.  Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS  cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.

  • Formatting external storage device using disk utility

    how do i format my external hard drive using disk utility? thanx

    I just went to DU and looked at Help to be sure the instructions were clear.
    Go to DU, then go to Help. I put in "formatting HD" in the ask a question field and quickly got the directions for how to do this. It depends on whether you are wanting to format a startup or non-startup disk and whether or not you want to partition the drive. You aren't specific in your question here - sorry for being rather vague in my reply.

  • Where Can I download the BIOS for the laptop DV6-2101ax BIOS using an external storage device?

     Have you tried the BIOS file on your Support page with no luck? http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv6-2100-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/4041735/model/4093933#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1

    I use a HP laptop model DV6-2101ax.
    I'm getting a BIOS corruption error on startup.
    So I found a solution "Recovering the notebook BIOS using an external storage device" in web page of "Restoring the BIOS".
    But I can not find and download the BIOS for DV6-2101ax like describing the solution web page.
    Where Can I find and download it?

  • I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC that uses an external storage device to a new PC (Windows 7) that will use that same external storage device.  I am also dealing with new iTunes 11.  How do I do this??  What folder does iTunes use?

    I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device.  I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11.  How can I accomplish this successfully?    What folder does iTunes use to store the data in?  I've tried several things.  Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered.  It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer.  This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
    In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
    If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
    The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

  • I am thinking of buying a "new" iPad but I have a very large iPhoto library which I would like to keep intact and be able to view on my new iPad.  Is there a way to use a external storage device to store the iPhoto library and view it on the iPad?

    I am thinking of buying a "new" iPad but I have a very large iPhoto library which I would like to keep intact and be able to view on my new iPad.  Is there a way to use a external storage device to store the iPhoto library and view it on the iPad?

    You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive 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.)
    When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

  • How to connect external storage devices (flash drive) with it

    hello dear. I am using this hp webOS-3.0.5 device for last 8 months. It is really a wonderful device to have. But I have some queries regarding it's usage. First can we attach any usb device(external storage devices (flash drive) with it? Second is there any other way to use internet on it without wi-fi connection? Thanks
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    I'm afraid the answer is No to both questions.  
    External storage can be acheived easily using the free 50GB Box.com account included with each touchpad.  This does rely on a good wifi source however, which leads to your other question.
    The wifi touchpad needs a wifi signal to go online.  Modern cellphones can act as "wifi hotspots" and can translate a cellular data connection to wifi.  (I do this with my Pre3 and a free program called "FreeTether", a homebrew app).

  • I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone.  The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

  • External storage device not showing up in finder

    I have an imac with an external storage device for back-up.  Up to now when I turned on the device it would show up in Finder.  Now it's not.  I have checked the connections (firewire), restarted the computer but it's not showing up.  What should I do or try?

    TRY THIS SOLUTION, EASY!
    I'm a GOOD mac user. Not a genius, but pretty good, used it for years.
    BUT SOMEHOW THIS ESCAPED ME:
    In the finder, on the left side, scrol down to DEVICES.
    Mouse over slowly to the right of that word and it says SHOW/HIDE.
    Well.. Mine were hidden!
    That's it!

  • I am having trouble exporting .raw files to an external storage device.  Even though I export "original" they end up as jpeg files.  Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    I am having trouble exporting .raw files from my Mac Book Air to an external storage device.  Even though I am exporting as "original" they are being exported as jpegs.  Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

    Using the "original" setting is the correct way to do it.  Select on of the photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  That will take you to the file inside the library via the Finder.  Confirm that what you see if the raw file.
    If it is then try the following:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Device not ejected properly error message on all external storage devices: SD, Ext HD, iPod, IPhone, etc.

    All external storage devices (USB HD, iPod, iPhone, SD card reader, etc) are not staying connected.  Connection runs for 10-15 sec and the error message "card not ejected properly" appears.  Have reformatted cards, performed a OSx install disk permissions and disk repair, re-installed and updated OSx, and PRAM reset.  After the OSx reinstall I had no problems for about 2 days then my iPod shuffle sync triggered the error message.  I follow good practice in ejecting disks from the Finder window or iTunes.

    thought i had it licked after taking to the local service center.  they checked out the hardware and felt there was no problem getting power to the USB and SD ports, eg the suspected cause of the eject.  they thought it might be a buried permissions problem in some dl'ed software that the repair utility would not find/fix.  sooo...i wiped the disk and reinstalled everything from scratch.  worked for about a month and now its showing up again.  just kicked off my shuffle.  the sd reader self ejects after about 10 seconds.  dunno where to go from here.

  • Can any one suggest me how to use drawPixels method for 40 series devices

    Hello!
    I am using drawPixels method of DirectGraphics class the code I have written is :-
    Image offscreen=DirectUtils.createImage(width,height,0x00000000);// width and heights are integer value
    public final int MODEL=DirectGraphics.TYPE_INT_8888_ARGB ;
    Graphics offgra = offscreen.getGraphics();
    DirectGraphics directgraphics = DirectUtils.getDirectGraphics(offgra);
    directgraphics.drawPixels(imgData,false,0,width,0,0,width,height,0,MODEL); // imgData is a int array(int imgData[]) which contains required pixels of image.
    The above code is working fine with NOKIA 60 series device but when i use it with NOKIA 40 series device it gives java.lang.IllegalArgumentException.
    same time if i use :-
    directgraphics.drawPixels(imgData,false,0,width,0,0,width,height,0,DirectGraphics .TYPE_USHORT_4444_ARGB ) ;
    // imgData is a short array(short imgData[]) which contains required pixels of image. i have used different formet here.
    it works fine with 40 series device,
    can any one suggest me how to use drawPixels method for 40 series devices with format
    DirectGraphics .TYPE_INT_8888_ARGB .

    If Remote wipe is activated it can't be undone. And Once the Wipe is done, the device can nö longer be tracked.

  • How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit?

    How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit? Want credit to remain on accounts as it was a gift for my daughter and we haven't finished using it yet but need to purchase additional storage for all of our accounts. Can't I just override the automatic payment from the account and just pay with a separate cc?

    Purchasing additional storage will not use account credit anyway.  It gets directly charged to your credit card, and you must use a credit card since it is an annual subscription service you are purchasing, not a one time payment option.  They insist on a credit card so they have a billable account for the automatic annual subscription fee.  At least it was that way when I did it.
    Sorry - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874  either I did not have enough credit at the time or something has changed since I did it?  Maybe call Apple and do it over the phone (explain why you want to do it that way)?

  • HT201250 Can I back up with time machine AND store additional files on the same external drive?

    I just bought an external drive to move and archive some files off my iMac to free up some space. I'm being asked if I want to use the drive to back up files with Time Machine. Can I use this drive to do both? (Back up with TM AND store other files?
    Your input is appreciated.

    Technically you can but it is not a very good idea at all. The reason it is a flawed idea is if the HD fails (not really if but when) you will have defeated the whole idea of backup. A failure means you will lose the data files you stored on it and it's backup! A good backup plan has at least 2 forms of backup because backups can fail too. I would strongly recommend getting at least one additional external HD and use it for storing the data files you wanted off the internal HD and use the second for a Time Machine backup drive.
    Personally I have 3 external HD's attached to my computer. Disk 1 is my Time Machine backup, Disk 2 is a Bootable Clone of my internal HD and Disk 3 stores my music, photography and movie libraries.
    Please read these articles, they will discuss different backup strategies and I think you will see that each suggest redundant backups.
