Can I use a computer to computer network with iPad?

In a few months I will be moving to a location where Wifi may not be widely available. I will have access to wired ethernet. Is there a way to create a network on my Macbook to share the connection with my iPad and iPhone? If so, how good is the range?
Thanks in advance

Its easy
Just run "System Preferences", then go to "Sharing", then check "Internet Sharing".
In "Share your connection from" select "Ethernet".
In "To computers using:" select AirPort.
If you want to set a password for this network, just click on "AirPort Options" button and its done
Choose your network name, password and you're online

  • Can I use other Apple USB Power Adapters with iPad

    I am looking for a spare  Apple Power Adapter to charge my iPad.  I have an iPad (3rd Generation), which came with a 10W USB Power Adapter, Model A1357, output 5.1V. 2.4A USB Power Adapter.  I have two other Apple Power Adapters 1) iPod Power Adapter, Model A1070, output 13V, .62A Firewire Power Adapter, 2) USB Power Adapter, Model A 1265, Output 5V, 1A,and  3) USB Car Adapter,   Can either of the latter three Power Adapters be used to charge my iPad

    Technically, yes, but they will trigger the 'not charging' because they're not giving out the 10W that your device wants. And charging with them will take significantly longer than the ipad charger.
    I'd only use them as a 'shucks, left my iPad charger at home and I'm in a pinch' situation.
    Your best bet would be to either get another iPad charger, or if you're trying to use one adapter for several devices, use the iPad one for the rest of your stuff.

  • Can I use my computer speakers with iPhone?

    A friend gave me his old iPhone, and I wanted to play music through my computer speakers. The speakers aren't plugged in to the computer, just directly in to the iPhone. My old iPod will do it, but the iPhone won't. The sound just comes through the iPhone speaker. Is the iPhone able to play music through speakers?

    Is the iPhone able to play music through speakers?
    Yes it is. However the 1st gen iPhone (if that's what you have) had a recessed headphone socket and you will probably need a skinny little adaptor to get the jack plug from your speakers into the port. Hence the reason the sound is still coming out of the phone as you haven't got your jack plug far enough in. I recently found an adaptor at an airport for my phone but you'll have to look around to find one I suspect.

  • Can I use apple TV on home network with time capsule or Airport Xtreme without being connected to the internet?

    I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
    Looking forward to your input.

    Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
    Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
    The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
    If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
    That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/23412/can-i-stream-any-video-played-wit h-vlc-player-to-apple-tv
    If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay.

    Hi 4bstevens, you can do that by accessing the setup page manually through 192.168.1.1 . Just leave the Username field as blank and type "admin"as the password.  Once in, you may configure the wireless settings.

  • TS2634 Can I use my old ipod camera connector with ipad [3]? I keep getting accessory not supported message

    I have tried to use my old camera connector and it doesn't work. many posts indicate the new ones don't work either.  Anyone know if the USB camera connector would or should work with my ipad and my rebel T2i camera?  Would buying a new connector work?
    Thanks.

    What do you mean by "old camera connector"? Do you mean the one that was put out years ago for the iPod? No, that doesn't work. The current Camera Connection Kit works just fine.

  • Can i use apple computer to place phone call?

    can i use apple computer to place a
    phpne call?

    If you have an iPhone with iOS 8 on the same wifi network as the computer, and the computer matches the specs required for Continuity and phone calls (i.e it is running Yosemite), then yes, yes you can.
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • Why can i use one computer to sync music

    It ***** to find out that with using iTunes, you can only use one computer to sync things such as music. The computer that I was previously using with syncing died on me and now that I am on a new one it says that I have to erase everything on my iPhone just to put one mixtape on it which is complete BS. So I ask you Apple, iTunes support, or whoever, why?

    If you had your itunes backed up then you would not have that problem. You could restore it using time machine, if on a mac, or other backup software, if on a pc. Also if you had itunes match then you don't need itunes at all to sync your music up anymore.

  • Can I use my computer keyboard as a MIDI keyboard in Logic Express?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to use my computer keyboard as a one-octave piano keyboard (as possible in Garageband) ?
    I'm not ready to shell out for a good keyboard just yet.

    Yes. Not only can you use your computer keyboard by pressing the caps lock key, but you also have the option of using a "step input keyboard," a graphical display of a piano keyboard on which you can input and record notes by clicking with your mouse.

  • HT3819 can I use my computer on my tv?

    can I use my computer on my tv?

    If you are referring to using airplay mirroring, then no. That would require a Mac from 2011 or later running Mountain Lion.
    However, you can use 3rd party software like Airparrot. They have a free trial so you can see if it works for your needs.
    If you just want to view your iTunes library, then yes you can.

  • Do I have to use my computer for my ipad or can i just connect to itunes through the ipad?

    Do I have to use my computer for my ipad or can I just connect to itunes through the ipad only?

    Vague.
    What are you trying to accomplish?
    The ipad is not a stand alone device.  It is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
    You can buy itunes content from your ipad, but you need to transfer it to your computer and included it in your regular backup of your computer.
