Can the IPAD be used as a monitor to view photos from Camera?

I do a lot of underwater photos and video. I would like to use use the IPAD to review the days shoot while on the boat, in the hotel or on the plane. I would rather not download all of the photos to the IPAD--although I do have the Lightning to SD card. Is there any way to simply view photos and videos from my camera or the SD card without downloading? You can do that on a TV--why not on an IPAD?

I believe you can do that. When you first plug in the SD card using the Camera Connection Kit, I believe you will see on the iPad all the photos on that SD card. You will have an option to import them, or a selected subset of photos. Just stop there and don't do the import. Would that solve your problem?

Can the iPad be used as a sketch pad?

Can the iPad be used as a sketch pad?

Not exactly, it doesn't offer the fine control, it's a touchscreen.
You might be better served with a Wacom graphics tablet.

Here is the sketch pen for the iPad, notice how thick the end is?
http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/BambooStylus/BambooStylus.aspx
The graphics tablet and pens are much finer and thus allow for more detail, but require marrying to a computer.
Depends upon your need. Fine or casual sketching. If you can work with constantly zooming in/out on the iPad's small screen.
You can't rest your hand on the iPad screen neither, if that's a issue or not.
If you wait, touchscreen iMac's are likely coming out down the road sometime.
This would offer the best of both.

Hi wanting to b uy my parents a ipad do they need a normal computer as well or can the ipad be updated etc on its own?

wanting to buy my parents a ipad do they need a normal PC or Laptop as well or can the ipad be used without???

iPads with iOS 5 installed can be used entirely separate from a computer. It can do updates with out iTunes and no computer is needed for it to be setup/activated. You will be fine buying them just an iPad.

I lose changes in the details when i open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why?

I lose changes that I made with the tools in the "Details" section, just right after I open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why? The changes that I made with the tools in the "Basic" section remain.

First, how and why are you using Camera Raw 7.0 with CS5?
ACR 7.x requires CS6 to run.
Even if that's a typo in your post and you are running CS6 instead of CS5, no one should be running ACR 7.0, but ACR 8.4 —or at the very least 7.4.
Once any given camera model is supported by a version of ACR, it will continue to be supported in all subsequent versions of ACR. Each update to ACR has unannounced, unheralded bug fixes and improvements. Running 7.0 at this point is sheer madness.
Please clarify.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

I am brand new to the Ipad. I can't use ICloud unless I upgrade my 10.5 Leopard. Is there a way to sync documents created in Pages to the IPad without using ICloud?

Hello. I am a newbie to the Ipad. I am currently working with an OS 10.5 Leopard MAC. I understand that in order to use ICloud I would need to purchase OSX Snow Leopard and OSX Lion. I am attempting to avoid the expense and to the extent possible sync my IPad with my MAC. I have created documents on my MAC in pages. Is there a way to have access to those documents on the IPad without using ICloud.
A second question concerns web browsing, sometimes you'll open up a page or image and not know how to go back to the previous page. So do I just close and reopen safari altogether or is there another way to get to the previous page.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Actually you can use iCloud with the Mac running OS X 10.5.8. You don't sync the documents - you upload to or download them from iCloud.
You can open a browser on your Mac - Safari is preferred - log into icloud.com, enter your username and password, click on the iWorks icon, click on the Pages section at the top - and then you can drag documents into the browser window to upload files - and you can select a file in the cloud to download to the Mac. I do this on my iMac at work running Tiger 10.4.11. It's kind of slow - and you will get a warning that you may be using a supported browser - but it works.
In any event, you can use iOS file sharing to send the Pages docs to your iPad. you have to connect to the Mac and do this via iTunes.
iWork for iOS: About iTunes File Sharing
Just tap the arrows in the toolbar in Safari to go back and forth. You can open multiple pages using tabs. tap on the + sign to add another tab in Safari.

Can i use the ipad with 3G in egypt if i bought it from the US

Can I use the ipad with 3G in egypt if i bought it from the us

You will need to get a local micro-sim, but yes you should be able to. 3G iPads bought in the US are not locked to a carrier, but in order to use a local micro-sim you'll need the AT&T version if buying from the US - the Verizon iPads are CDMA based and don't use sim cards (so are effectively locked to Verizon)

I am considering purchase of the new iPad and already own iphone 3GS, can I use my phone to tether to the iPad and use the phones 3G connection? This will allow me to buy the cheaper version of the iPad without 3G.

You can tethe, but depending on carrier you may need to pay for that option... I've decided to have my phone on one provider and my ipad on another so i always have connectivity... More expensive in the long run, but I need to make sure I am always "on" for work
YMMV

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime? How do I do that?

They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

Can the iPad truly replace a "normal" computer yet?

My wife and I are looking to replace two computers. One is her Sony Vaio laptop, the other is my iMac G5. I mentioned to her that we could both get iPads, one for me and one for her and that it would really do everything we would need them to do. I know that the collective opinion is that tablets are the future of computing - proof being Apple releasing a 128GB iPad w/ Retina today. If I were to "start from scratch", as in, I don't have a PC with this content already on it that can be easily synched to the new iPads - I just have two iPads that I need to get my physical music albums onto as well as GBs of photos from my camera. Can you get you're own content to the iPad without the help of a traditional computer - be it laptop or desktop? Is there some sort of USB adapter for the new iPads that you can use to connect other devices to it for uploading content - like a external CD-ROM drive or a camera?

Great discussion, but I don't think anyone has addressed the true question. ddemuth78 isn't asking is it feasible, he's asking if it is even possible. He has already stated the iPad does everything he and his wife do with their computers. The question is, "is it yet physically possible to have an iPad be a single stand alone computer?"
There are two basic uses for a computer, creating content, and consuming content. As a content creator, I find the iPad nearly useless. However, as a content consumer, I find the iPad (or any well designed tablet) to be the best device for consuming. Obviously, if you have multiple monitors or need in depth file management tools, the iPad isnt the right tool for the job. But what if the iPad IS the right tool for every job you want your computer to do? Is it physically possible to have just an iPad without another "real" computer to connect it to? Someone else already mentioned, by adding a simple case with integrated keyboard you have resolved the main issue with any content creation, the virtual keyboard reduces everyone to "hunt and peck" mode. Alternatively, you could connect a Bluetooth wireless full keyboard as well so you can type on your lap. First issue resolved.
The biggest issue I see with having the iPad as your only computer is that it simply wasn't designed to be so. It was designed to be managed by syncing it to the main computer using a USB cable and iTunes as the management software. However, the reason the main question can even be asked is because eventually, once you've got the iPad set up the way you want it, and you've transferred your music (which largely lives on iCloud now for free with the advent of iTunes Match), and photos from the main computer (especially if you now use the iPad as your camera so no more transferring required), once you get to this point, you really don't need to connect to you computer any more. Or do you?
For the email, music, pictures, games, and video chat crowd, once you've got the iPad set up the way you want it, do you ever NEED to connect it to a computer again? THATS the question. Plus, is the question (or the answer) different for the owners of different generations of iPads (or other tablets).
My mother plays games, does email, browses, takes pics on a camera (iPad 0, no camera) and uploads them to various sites. Her Wintel machine is 15 YEARS OLD!!!!! She is an artistic person and hates the machine and all the boxes and wires.she loves the wireless iPad. Clearly, if she is going to continue to own a computer it's time to get a new one. It would be a MUCH more pleasant experience on a new computer, but she will still need to got to the computer to use it, and still have to look at the modem, router, and accompanying wires. Question, can she use the iPad wirelessly in the living room, using the HD flat screen TV as the monitor, the virtual keyboard or Bluetooth keyboard and the iPads touch screen for the mouse and NOT buy a new computer? The question isn't "is this the right thing for her?" It absolutely is. The question is, can the iPod successfully survive without being synced to a main computer ever again?"
The only reason this is even a question is because the iPad was never designed to do this. It may have been envisioned as being able to do this one day, that may well be its ultimate function, but as yet, it has not been designed to survive without the occasional syncing to a main computer. Keeping in mind the iPad is really just an iPhone without the phone. Even iPhone, until the current release of iPhone 5 was meant to sync to a computer. My understanding is that the new 5 can in fact live successfully without syncing to a computer - the market wanted it so Apple delivered. So, can the iPad currently do the same or is there still a generation or two to go before it gets there? Especially the iPad 0. Are there things that it simply needs to be synced to the computer for that would hamper its function as a stand alone device? I don't know. What I do know is that it was designed as a side car, as a piggyback unit, as an extension of your main computer to give you a consumption option other than sitting at that desk in that folded up shape.
My mother is asking, and I am investigating. It seems like it should be able to survive to on its own, without another computer, but it wasn't designed for that so I am loathe to tell her yet that it is OK.
Anyone got any absolute knowledge one way or another, or resources that can be used to get a definitive answer?
Thanks.

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos? I don't know why the photos are still taking up space and if I will have to reset my phone to get rid of the problem.

Hey there TowneJ,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that’ll likely resolve the issue that you’ve described, where deleted files appear to be taking up space on your iPhone 5.

What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique ?

What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique

Hi Plawansai,
I saw your question that is still unanswered.
I believe an advantage of using a passive monitoring technique is that it won't interfer with live traffic, as it does not inject traffic into the network or modify the traffic that is already on the network.
One drawback anyway, is that post-processing time can take a large amount of time with passive monitoring!
A combination of the two monitoring methods seems to be the route to go.

Can the iPad download software from the web like the Palm TX can??

Can the iPad download software/applications from the web that you can then upload to your Desktop or Laptop like the Palm TX can? (yes I've got one just for that reason but I'd love to have an Apple branded product)
So far the Apple Store people don't seem to know.
If not, there will be many people won't buy it, me included... And every person that does't buy one is a loss of revenue.
The lack of this key ability is why I haven't bought an iPod or iPhone…
Come on Apple answer our prayers.

YES, exactly.... I do NEED a small light weight device (smaller and cheaper than a Mac laptop) to carry around with me every day to download software to that I can download to use on my home computer.
The Palm TX was such a device that served such purpose... Somewhat over priced for for its small storage capacity and no longer available but a good product idea.
Except for the once a month NEED to download large applications (mostly version updates), I don't really have a NEED for cable broadband @ $49.99 per month ($599.88 per year) or DSL @ $39.99 per month (479.88) per year.
My email, shopping, banking and such only NEEDS dial-up @ $99.00 a year, which is what I have.
The fact people feed their WANTS instead of choosing only to feed their NEEDS is why many people are in debt often over their heads.
I haven't had any built up debt for decades. I try very hard to only take care of my NEEDS and not squander money on things I only WANT but don't really NEED.
I LOVE the Mac OS, it's one of the best OSs out there (priced good too)..... Next to Xerox's "Small Talk" (in-house R&D only) and Unix. But Apple's pricing of computers may drive me to the Dark Side or the Gray Side.. Linux .
And I'm also hoping that USB 3 will be soon on Macs so I don't have to pay the extra freight for Firewire as USB 3 will serve my NEED for faster than USB 2 speeds to the external devices I NEED to use.
One of the Prime Rules of Business is... Volume = Profit (or more profit)
