Or you can use home sharing for free, but it will only allow you to play movies and music from itunes.
Or you can use any remote desktop software

Can I use my iPad as an external monitor for MBA?

I have a MBA"13 (latest edition) and New iPad (3-d Gen), so I'm wondering: is it possible to get extra working space for my Mac using cables and adapters or wireless solutions (Apple TV 2-d Gen)?

No. There are some apps that allow you to control the laptop remotely from an iPad, however, but that doesn't sound like what you need.

How can I use the iPad as a sound source for my Mac?

I would like to be able to record sound off my iPad, onto my Mac. (I'm using a musical app that only allows me to save short recordings, so I would like to plug my iPad into my Mac and record the music into my Mac, into Audacity or something.)
I know you can't just connect the iPad from the headphone jack, so I'm wondering what equipment I would need.
I've heard that the iPad camera connector can be used to export audio out, does anyone know how that works?
Or, are there any iPad apps available that will make exportable sound recordings of any sounds your iPad is making (from any other app?) You know, like a screen shot, but for sound instead?
(BTW, I am not interested in streaming music from my iPad. I already know how to do that. I'm trying to export audio from a musical instrument app I'm using.)

Unfortunately that link doesn't provide the info I'm looking for...
Answering part of my own question: it ISN'T possible to record audio on the iPad from one app to another. Technically not possible, so there are no apps that serve this purpose.
So, I'm still looking for details on how to connect my iPad to my Mac and use it as a sound source. I would like to record directly onto my Mac whatever sounds my iPad is outputting, by connecting the iPad to the Mac's audio input in some way.

Can I use my ibook as the external keyboard for my Mac Mini?

Using a firewire to connect the two units. Or do I need to buy a separate keyboard to use with the Mini?
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

It seems to me that while you CAN connect the mini to your iBook with FW (or ethernet) and run the mini from the iBook's keyboard and display, the performance of the combined system will be the poorest common factor between processor speed and data transfer speeds. In other words, while you will be able to run the mini and it's software, the combined iBook/mini system not going to perform all that well, and aside from possibly giving you access to software your iBook wouldn't be able to run (depending on what processor, speed and RAM it has), using a mini that way is typically not all that cost-effective.
Keyboards are cheap (I bought a $29.95 wireless USB keyboard/mouse combo from WalMart to use with mine at home), and a display need not cost much at all if you don't already have one.

Is there a way to use an iPad as an external micrpohone for my imac?

The internal mic on my iMac is dead (and I don't feel like paying a lot for opening in up and stuff), but external should work (I have tested with input from an iPod). So can I get around the problem by some how using my iPad as an external mic? I have found no way of doing this so far.

not as far as I know
at least not out of the box if some thirdparty app can let you I can't say for sure

Using an iPad as a Bluetooth keyboard for a mac?

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a new iPad as a Bluetooth keyboard for a mac?
I am aware there are a few apps that claim to do this over wifi however I am looking for a Bluetooth solution that would be more permanent?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not aware of any way to do do this. There are, I believe, some apps that allow you to remote into a computer and control the desktop, but that's not quite what you are looking for.

Can I use a 2009 iMac as external display for 2007 macbook pro with DVI port only

I have a late 2009 imac with minidisplay port and a 2007 macbook pro with DVI port. I connected a mini diaplay port to DVI cable but all I get on the imac is a blank screen when I press F2. Can I use the imac this way?

I'm not sure if it works with DVI but your late 2009 must be a 27". Try Command-F2 or Copmmand-Fn-F2

You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

I love my music, would love a iPod for this reason but the iPad air sounds really good too. Can i use the iPad air like a iPod for travel (in car).

I love music when I travel, I still have a older mp3 player that I can plug in the car stereo. I listen to various artists, a variety of music. Love to make a big play list for a long road trip.
I'm in the market for a Ipod touch or a ipad air, would I be able to do the same with the Ipod verses Ipad air.
I would use the WiFi for connection.
Compare for me the differences.
Remember i would want to use it when im out traveling on the road for music.

The wifi-only iPad is basically large iPod touch. There are some aps that are for the iPad only.
The new devices a a Lightning cable vice the older 30-pin connector.
One of these adopters/cables may work:

However. some car systems and devices are not compatible with the newer iOS devices like the iPad Air

Can I use another computer as a external harddrive for time machine?

I have a mac mini from a few years ago and it is never used. I was wonder if it could be used as an external hard drive for time machine. If this can be done how do I go about setting it up for this type of useage?

Thanks for your reply. I looked at the Troubleshooting, but can't find my exact problem. It is as follows:
I use a new iMac running Snow Leopard with a 500 GB external WD drive.
-I looked the other day to find that time machine had failed, and when I looked at the backups, there had not been a successful backup since September 2009. I think this is when I installed Snow Leopard...
-I went to run a backup, and it failed, saying I did not have room (I have about 220 GB to backup)
-I decided to format the external hard drive and try again from scratch.
-I began getting an error 11, and specifically -8062 and -36 (as examples) which specifically list files that it could not copy.
-I reinstalled snow leopard from disk.
-I excluded time machine from spotlight as recommended in some forums
-I started ommitting some of the files that were listed as not being bale to copy, but now its into my music, and that's half the reason I back up.
I am now backing up to laptop as above post, and if that works, I will conclude that the External HD has seen its day.
If I get the same errors, I will conclude (nervously) that my computer has issues.
Here is an example of an error message:
Error: (-8062) SrcErr:NO Copying /Users/Shared/Music/Compilations/(album name)/(song name).mp3 to /Volumes/Time Machine 20100504/Backups.backupdb/Riskin's Computer/2010-05-04-222232.inprogress/F9243DA..(many letters and numbers)...D19/Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/Music/Compilations/(album name)/(song name)
then below in another message says:
Copy stage failed with error: 11
Backup failed with error: 11
I get this same original error with different files, and with different error numbers.
Apple support told me that by formatting external drive, and reinstalling snow leopard, they were 99.9% sure it would be fixed, but it is not.
Frustrated,

I had my ipod stolen:( I am considering getting IPAD 2 , can I attach the IPAD to the external speakers $$ for listening to music?

I had my IPOD stolen I am considering IPAD 2, am I able to use the "dock" external speakers $$ with it???

We'd need to know specifically what "dock speakers" you have before anyone could offer information or opinions. I'd suggest just contacting the maker of those dock speakers and asking them. They'll be in the best position to say whether or not their product is compatible with the iPad 2.
Regards.

Can I use my iPhone as a web cam for my mac mini?

There is an app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iwebcamera/id369617568?mt=8) that can do what you want. But, unfortunately only suports OSX Lion, Snow Leopard and Leopard (suport info).
