Can I use my iPad to connect to my company's IBM mainframe?

Can I use my iPad to connect to my company's IBM mainframe?

It depends on the mainframe, how it's set up to be accessed (the iPad has only WiFi or 3G connections), and what you need to do. There are terminal emulators in the iTunes Store, though, including a couple of 3270 emulators.
Regards.

  • Can I use my iPad to connect to a Mobile Access Server on a Mac mini ?

    I run a small business and am considering setting up an internal network. The online "features" description for Mobile Access Server (a component of Snow Leopard Server) says I can connect remoetley from an iPod or a Mac. The iPad is not mentioned. can I use my iPad to connect to a Mobile Access Server?

    Yes. It's the same as connecting from an iPod touch or iPhone.
    Logmeinigniton or teamviewer are a few of the apps you can use.
    Teamvewer has free app and you can see if it does what you want.

    If you're referring to this dock:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC533LL/B?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE&mco=MTg1ODE1Mjc
    it is not a Bluetooth keyboard so can't be used with the laptop.  And the keyboard dock was originally designed for the curved back of the iPad1.  So while it does appear to work with the iPad2, some people report that it's a little loose and sometimes get intermittent disconnections with the connector.
    As for Bluetooth keyboards, some can only be paired to one device.  To use with two computers, you may have to un-pair from the first device, the re-pair to the second device.  Some keyboards can "switch" without un-pairing, but you have to research to ensure the model you want will do that.  Depending on your usage, it may be more worthwhile to get separate keyboards.

  • I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad.  I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

  • How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections.    The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

    How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections?  The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

    The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it.  Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.)  It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
    You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad.  If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350.  Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

    Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

    Yes, I believe so. Please check out the NetPortal app. I don't have an iPad, but I use it on my iPod Touch to access files on my Time Capsule. It is available from the iTunes App Store.

    No, it has to be on a WiFi network.

  • I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

    I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

    does that mean I can not buy a movie or tv show  from itunes and watch it on my car tv through my iphone? Does that also mean I can not watch any video even the ones I take via the iphone camera? That makes no sense, f that is true what is the rational? And how come it works from the IPOD?

    Did you already try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
    You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches.

    Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a monitor and keyboard for the Mac mini, either through the USB connection or thru Wi-Fi?

    I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a keyboard and screen for the Mac mini, using either the USB connector or Wi-Fi?

    I'm sorry, I should have said thru Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.  I want to use the mini as a base station and the iPad like a laptop that I can sync when I'm home and carry with me when I travel.  Is is possible to hook these 2 up - iPad/mini, through Bluetooth?  I understand I need to use a regular monitor/keyboard/mouse on the initial install.

  • How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

    How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
    Hi there
    My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
    What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
    This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
    How do I do this please?
    I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
    So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
    Any advise please?
    Thanks

    You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
    The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
    It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

  • Can You Use an iPad With a G5?

    My mother in law just got an iPad, but has been unable to set it up with her G5 PowerMac.  When she first connected the iPad, it told her that her iTunes was too old, so she updated that.  Then it said the just-updated iTunes would not run with her OS (10.4.x).  That's where we got stuck.  Her Mac was never upgraded past 10.4, we don't have a 10.5 installation disc, and I can't install 10.6 or later on a G5.  And I don't know how to downgrade iTunes, or even if that would work.  I also don't understand why it would let her ugrade to a version of iTunes that won't run on her OS.
    Since Apple no longer sells 10.5, does that mean she can't use her iPad without getting a new machine?  The whole point of getting the iPad is so she wouldn't have to update her computer any time soon.

    Doubtful. There really isn't an input method available that would work in the scenario.
