Can we use external drive with ipad air

can we use external drive with ipad air?

There are some wifi-enabled drives that allow you to stream content (music, films, tv programmes) to an iPad, but you can't directly connect one to an iPad.

  • How can I use pen drive with iPad?

    how one can use pen drive in iPad?

    You can use some USB flashdrives with the iPad's camera connection kit, but a lot of them require more power than is supplied to the kit, and you can only photos and videos to the iPad's Photos app with it - you can't copy other content, nor copy content off the iPad with it. Depending upon what you want to use it for you might be better off with syncing, Dropbox, emailing content, copying via your wifi network etc (depending upon the item type and what the app that you want to copy to/from supports)

  • Can i use external drive with pc and mac??? files be recognised by both??

    hi
    i have two external hard drives, with stuff from my pc on them.
    can i plug them into my macbook? and just copy files?
    usb hard drives.
    one i think is one or the other, mac or pc, not both at same time, unless i partition and format i think. maybe the other one too.
    i have a 8gb file on my pc, im trying to get into my macbook.
    how can i???
    i have a 160gb ipod, its only 30gb full, and pc says not enough space on it.
    why is this???? the file is only 8gb......and theres over 100gb free on my ipod.
    anyone help?
    cheers

    If your iPod is formatted FAT32 there is a 4 GB file size limit. Obviously an 8 GB file exceeds the limit.
    In order to use any drive on both a Mac and a PC with full read/write capability the drive must be formatted MS-DOS (FAT16 or FAT32.) A drive formatted NTFS is read-only on a Mac unless you use third-party software such as MacFuse with NTFS-3G or Paragon NTFS.

  • 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 i use mirroring (atv) with iPad mini?

    can i use mirroring (atv) with iPad mini?

    You can use an iPhone (if your carrier supports it) as a personal hotspot for your iPad and use the phone's cellular connection to go online with your iPad - your iPad will see the phone as a wifi network.
    If you are asking if you can share an internet connection from a wifi-only iPad then you can't, only cellular models potentially allow you to share its connection with other devices/computers.

    If the graphic card fails, here is a link to the HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. Please note page 9 or chapter 1 page 9 for a list of recommended replacement graphic cards.
    If the graphic card passes you may wish to consider doing a restore back to a known good time or a full recovery back to factory.

  • Can't use external drive to install 'plug-in' collections?

    I'm trying to load up an external drive with all the Logic additional loops and instrument plug-ins, including the Spectrasonic librairies etc.
    The message I get when I try to do this is that the external drive is a 'network' drive, and thus it can't be done. At least that is what happened when I tried to 'install' the Spectrasonic Stylus setup. Is there a particular folder hierarchy I could use to just drag and drop all my instrument collections ... and then do a link from the Logic 8 app. Or where would I find the linking protocol in the Logic 8 manual?
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated,
    Ben

    You can't install plugins to a separaet drive because there are very specific system locations plugins need to reside in on your system drive.
    You can often however move the sample content. For instance, I have the Stylus RMX plugin on my system drive, but the 10gig library on an external drive.
    Your manuals or support notes will tell you the correct procedure to follow, depending on the plugin. Sometimes you will have to create aliases to the mvoed sample content, sometimes you have to edit preferences and so on. It's really plugin dependent.
    The Logic loops can reside on an external drive - just move them, then drag them to the loop browser to reindex them.

  • HT1338 can i use pen drive on Macbook air ?

    can i use pen drive on Macbook air

    You can if your cellular plan allows it. Not sure how much data you mean by "quite a bit" but be aware that doing this can use up a lot of data in a hurry depending on what it is you do. The following has information on how to share your cellular iPhone data: iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot - Apple Support

  • So you CAN or CANNOT use external drive with Time Capsule...

    I was posting earlier and was told you CAN'T plug an external HDD into a Time Capsule and have it be recognized (some said you had to plug it into a USB hug first.) 
    Then I find this  - http://www.brighthub.com/computing/mac-platform/articles/48709.aspx
    Then before posting this I find others that say you CAN.  So what's the deal?  Can I or can I not plug in a USB  external HDD and have access to it?

    The link that you posted is a bit out of date, but the information in the article is correct.
    You can connect an external USB drive to a Time Capsule (or AirPort Extreme) if the following conditions are met:
    The drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Most store bought drives are pre-formatted for Windows in a format called NTFS which will not work the Time Capsule. You have to use Disk Utility on your Mac to re-format the drive to work correctly with the Time Capsule.
    Use a powered USB hub as the USB port on the Time Capsule is a bit under powered and it will not supply enough current for some drives. As a general rule....use a powered USB hub....even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
    At times, I have had 3 drives from differerent manufactures all hooked up simultaneously into a powered USB hub which in turns connects to the USB port on the Time Capsule. No problems at all.
    There are never any guarantees, but if you follow the guidelines, chances are good that your drive will work just fine.

  • Using external drives with OS X Server

    Is it possible to use external firewire hard drives the same way that I would use an internal. I am asking this because we have 3 of them with 250Gb each. I would use them to increase the storage of a server, which would lower the cost of one and make it much more possible to buy. The drives wouldn't be removed and I would like to be able to apply security settings to control access to them. They can be easily formatted with the approperiate OS X file system.

    It wasn't that I thought I couldn't use them I just need to know if I can put a user's home directory on there and have users save to them across the network. Can I in fact do this. A couple of people I have talked to about doing this had mixed thought so I figured I'd throw to you guys.

  • MacBook Pro 17" iTunes can't sync address book with iPad Air

    Can't sync between MacBook Pro 10.6 OS ver and new iPad Air (bought 2 days ago) cell 32gig.  Have been to Apple shop at Garden City WA, helpful but seems very little knowledge of 10.6 OS.  Have attempted upgrade on MacBook to Lion OS, persevered and seemed to work.  Except now the MacBook won't boot, even choosing drive unit, just spins the icon.  Even left it for a few hours just in case it needed time to sort itself out.
    Back to Apple shop first thing in the morning, getting MacBook up and running is first priority followed by syncing address book with iPad.  If can't sync guess I'll have to return it as having them communicate is why I brought the iPad, something lighter in my brief case instead of carrying the MacBook around.
    It became tiring being told the MacBook was old technology, having spent money with Apple upgrading the MacBook drive & memory to cope with Final Cut and Creative suite.
    Any advice most welcome!

    Figured it out and it wasn't fun. I watched the console messages as I deleted groups and tried to sync with Mobile Me until no error msg was displayed. Then I restored AB from a back up and proceeded to delete contacts one at a time and check for errors until none were displayed. After deleting about half my contacts under the one group I finally found the one contact. I then did another AB restore, deleted the troubled contact, sync'd fine, then did another backup. I have no idea why that one contact was the problem as everything looked fine. Console msgs only showed a silly number as the contact, not the name, which is why I had to go through all this. But...it's fixed.

  • Using external drive with windows and osx 10.5

    I have formated an external drive using disk utility as Fat 32. Mac osx sees it fine but windows does not. I used partition magic to format it as fat 32 and windows sees it fine, but osx still sees it by the old name and doesn't see the files I loaded on it. I did it twice from partition magic with the same result. the mac knows the right amount of free space but doesn't see the directory, it sees the old directory from the mac formatting? Why is partition magic not overwriting the mac formatting, and why won't windows see the mac formatting. HHHEEEELLLPP Please

    I solved the problem by formatting the drive in OSX using mac extended which cleared the ms dos partition the mac created, then I used Partition Magic and created a fat 32 volume. Windows and Leopard see it fine now. Why the Fat 32 formatting from Leopard did not work I can not tell you. A bug maybe or maybe my install has a bug.
