Can you plug a ipad into a monitor and keyboard?

I don't know anything about ipad's.
Can you plug a ipad into a monitor and keyboard?

As Rudegar pointed out, the AV cable is an adequate option. But another option is to purchase an Apple TV. That's the only way to use Airplay from an iOS device (for now). I'm pretty sure no OEM TV's support Apple's Airplay technology as of yet. Apple wants you to purchase the Apple TV so don't hold out hope that they'll license the tech to TV manufacturers any time soon.
Check out Apple's demo of Airplay on their website and see if that's an option you might like. The AV cable is cheaper but IMO a cable of any kind is a cumbersome work around. And the Apple TV allows you to also play music and look at your pictures from any iOS device as well.
Re: your other question: "Can I see my iPad on the TV in general when hooked up?". The answer is, "Not yet". Only the "output" (IE: music, video, slideshows) can be seen through Airplay or the AV cable. You can't use the TV as a second monitor for your iOS device.
Lastly, you can't "break" your device simply by trying to hook it up to your TV. I had the same issue with my father this holiday with trying to convince him he couldn't break his camera by trying to hook it directly up via the USB connector on the TV.

  • Can I plug my iPad into my TV and watch a movie from iPad

    If I download a movie from iTunes to my iPad, can I connect my iPad to the TV (flatscreen LG that is internet accessible) and watch the movie. In the same question, can I see my iPad on the TV in general when hooked up?
    I didn't want to hook it up and try with fear of damaging my iPad.

  • 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.

    You can plug it into a computer but it will be a very very slow charge. The best thing to do is go to any office / electronics store and get a new charger.

  • When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge?

    When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge ?

    Not necessarily...
    iPad Charging
    "The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
    iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

    I plugged my ipad into my pc and got this message: This ipad cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started. I have had this ipad for almost 2 years, the pc for 2 1/2.

    Maybe you need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. This will tell you how to do that.

  • I am planning on buying an Ipod classic to replace my old ipod nano, i am wondering if when i buy it can i plug it straight into my itunes and will everything be transferred from my nano, or will it delete everything? songs etc...

    I am planning on purchasing an ipod classic to replace my old ipod nano. I am just wondering if i am able to plug it in to my itunes, and everthing will be transferred onto the classic simply? Or will it automatically delete all my songs as it will not recognise the classic? Also, will it inform me what to do when i plug the classic in, to set it up?

    If you want to have the photos stored on an external HD, you probably should move them there in your operating system before you import into Lightroom.
    But, if you don't yet own an external HD, you can import from the internal hard drive and later move the photos to wherever you want them to be, as long as you do it properly.

    I have an iPad 2 that I want to use with video mirroring to give lectures with.

  • Can you recommend an iPad app to open and edit MS Excel files?

    Hi,
    I need an iPad app that would enable me to do the following with a MS Excel file:
    Import the file from Dropbox
    Edit and save the file
    Export the edited file back to Dropbox
    Can anyone recommend an app that can do the above?
    Thanks
    Daniel

    Thanks for the feedback. I have read the reviews of both apps and they are not that great. The DropBox functionality seems to work finenwith both apps.
    I want to use the spreadsheet on both my iPad and PC. The reviews of both apps mention that some reformatting of the .xls file can occur when saving it in the app. Have any of you experienced this? I will only be using the app for simple .xls files with normal/simple formulas. Nothing complicated at all. I might use it for Word files, but I have no use for PowerPoint. The only time I might use the PowerPoint functionality is if I happen to receive such a file via email. I'm still using Office 2003 with no intention to upgrade anytime soon as it is just fine for my needs.
    The QuickOffice Pro HD app is currently on sale for $11.99 whereas the Documents to Go Premium app that supports DropBox is $16.99. D2G is an universal app and QOP is not.
    Any suggestions on which app is the better one would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Daniel

  • I have all of my photos on a seagate external hard drive from a windows based computer. Can I plug external hd into my iMac and download photos with no issues?

    Can I just plug in my external harddrive to download the saved pictures from my windows computer to my Imac?  

    That should work.  A box like icon will appear on the desktop.  Double click  on icon.
    If for some reason a message asks you to format, do not format. Pull out the cable on the external hardrive.  Ask for more advice here.
