Can you pair with an iMac and an iPad at the same time?

If you have an iMac and an iPad, is it possible to pair the same Apple Wireless Keyboard with both of them, rather than having to buy two Wireless Keyboards?

I've kind of found an answer to my question, but I'm not totally satisfied. Basically, yes, you can use one Apple Wireless Keyboard with an iMac and iPad, but obviously not at the same time.
To switch the Apple Wireless Keyboard over from working with the iMac to working with the iPad, you first have to "Disconnect" the keyboard in System Preferences > Bluetooth. This frees up the keyboard, making it available for the iPad to access.

  • Using Windows, can you have an ipod touch and an ipad on the same itunes account with the same apple ID?

  • Can you play music to wireless and wired speakers at the same time?

    If you have Airport express, can you play music on speakers plugged into the airport express at the same time as you play from speakers attached to your computer?
    Thanks

    Yes you can. In the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes main window there is a drop down menu. Select the AirPort Express base station(s) you'd like to send your music to and also select 'Computer'. Not only will it play through all, it will play IN SYNC!
    I can't remember with which version of iTunes this was introduced, best to grab the latest version to be sure.

    Another question. How do you turn off the ATT wireless transmitter? Also, there are more computers connected to the 2Wire network. I will have to set up a wireless pc to work with the Base Station after disconnecting the ATT transmitter. Easy answers for both, I hope?

  • Using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds.  i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

    using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds.  i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

    Uh .... Yes you can. You just have to understand how the whole thing works.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Can you run logic 6 pro and logic 7 on the same PPC?

    I was wondering if you could run logic 6 and logic 7 on the same computer.

    Until I moved up to my overqualified quad G5, I would use Logic 7 and 6 under 10.3 and I used to run the old 6 under OS9 on occasions where I needed to use a couple of plugins that didn't seem to make the port from VST to AU. It seemed that everytime you updated 6, it created a new version and you were able to keep older versions if you liked ( and I did ) for whatever reason...my thinking was that if the newer upgrade didn't work, I could always go back a step. This is no longer an option though, is it! Progress?

  • Can external HD connect to PS3 and Airport Extreme at the same time?

    I currently have a external HD connected to my PS3 to play vids. Can I connect a AirPort Extreme to that HD at the same time to wirelessly drop files on the HD to play on the PS3?
    Thanks

    Most likely, no. How do you propose that you would connect this drive to both devices simultaneously? Via a USB hub?

  • Can you have more than 3 Bluetooth devices active at the same time?

    I have trouble getting my Sony DR-BT101 to link when my mouse, trackpad, and keyboard (all wireless) are connected. I need to link by stereo headphones for music analysis and cannot get all to work at the same time. My Sony headset either won't pair or connect or causes alert that interfere with the running of other programs during my work. Even when I answer one of the alerts and turn off the Mouse it refuses to connect and finishes with a Stop Using Headset message. Even if I choose "Ignore" instead of turning off the Mouse or Trackpad, same thing. I once had everything working at the same time, so I can't figure out what is going on but it won't honor more than 3 devices, it seems. And also, when a new email arrives in my mailbox (iMac OS Lion 7.1 Mail), the alerts stop popping up and go through 3 iterations as each new email arrives. Weird. Any response on how to deal with this?

    @kalos
    Uninstalled everything PA, also uninstalled mangler which was the only thing that depended on PA. It didn't work anyway.
    No pulseaudio --kill command so I couldn't run.
    Checked systemd journal and there is no mention of PA this time.
    Checked top, and grepped ps aux and there is no PA there either.
    I also rebooted the machine completely just to make sure. However VLC and HTML5 have the same incompatibilities.

    I see. That's too bad. At least we're not alone.

  • How can i use an barcode scanner and a keyboard at the same time on Ipad

    HI I am looking to find a way to use a barcode scanner and the on screen key bard at the same time, so far i cant seem to find a way to do it.
    Does any one know how this can be done.
    thanks

    It is possible, I use multiple versions, however Firefox official policy is that you use firefox3.6 or 5 ; not firefox 4 which is not secure and not supported.
    The easiest solution may be to use firefox portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 although firefox 3.6 will itself not be supported for much longer.

  • Podcasting with skype,ichat and garage band at the same time

    Hi,
    so here is my problem I have a podcast show and I record one of my hosts through i chat into garage band and the other is a phone guest through skype.....everything is going through an alesis mixer...the problem is my i chat host cannot hear the skype phone guest....what should I do??

    Microphone into mixer. Output of computer into mixer. Skype and iChat routed to computer output. Skype, iChat and Garageband inputs all set to mixer output (either analogue output plugged into computer line in or using the USB connection). Turn monitoring in GB off.
    Now everyone should be able to hear everyone, but the Skype and iChat contributors will also hear themselves coming back with a delay, which makes it very difficult to talk.
    There is a way round this, but it involves having two separate audio-USB interfaces (which shouldn't be the same model) - they need to be able to handle both ways at the same time, and many don't. I assume that your Alesis is much the same as mine.
    Microphone to mixer. Skype output and input to interface A. iChat output and input to interface B. Set GarageBand input to mixer main output as above.
    Microphone channel : turn up sends to Aux A and B
    Skype channel: turn up send to Aux B only
    iChat channel: turn up send to Aux A only
    Plug Aux A output to interface A
    Plug Aux B output to interface B
    You have now set up what is called 'clean feed' in the UK ('mix minus' in the USA). Skype should receive the microphone and iChat but not itself, iChat should receive the microphone and Skype but not itself. Everything should be heard by Garageband.
    You may find some difficulty in getting this to work. The main sticking point is going to be that the interfaces have to work in both directions at the same time, and as I said, many don't.
    Skype will handle conference calls and this would be a simpler solution!

  • Can an airport express support wireless and wired connection at the same time

    im wondering if i can use wireless and wired connection at the same time

    The Ethernet port that the old AirPort Express has got is to connect the AirPort Express to your modem, not to connect another PC or Mac, so you can only connect wireless devices to the AirPort Express.
    If you have the new AirPort Express, you can connect a wired PC or Mac and more wireless devices or computers at the same tiem

  • How do I use Lightning Camera Kit and charge iPad at the same time?

    Well, that's the question. I don't like interrupting my creative work only to charge this device, I'd like to have a charger and any other external device working at the same time. If you know such product which has Lighning feed-through with a charger cable output please tell us.

    That's interesting. So after all they found an engineer in the company to design an adapter for them. I hope some 3rd part company like from China comes with a functioning USB (called "camera") adapter that does have the charger interface built-in.
