  • Can you send msgs from any apple device using imessage to any non apple product with imessage and is it worth getting 3g for a ipad?

  • Can you print from an iPad using airport Extreme?

    Do you still need to use a third party software (I.e. Printopia) to send a print file to my Samsung printer via Airport extreme router?

    Printing from iPad
    You might note the * (asterisk) here and be aware of the fine print at the bottom of the Apple advertising page.
    Just a small detail like the printer must be AirPrint compatible.
    See this Apple document to see if the printer is AirPrint compatible

    If the printer is not AirPrint compatible, then Printopia might work

  • Can no longer send or receive messages on Mac from non-Apple product users

    After installing Yosemite, I was able to send and receive messages to contacts who use Android devices, but that stopped a week ago.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Hi,
    It should appear on the Mac.
    If the Messages app is not open it should in fact launch it.
    I had this issue once and had to reset the Text Forwarding thing twice before I got the Pop with the Code on the Mac.
    Don't dismiss what is on the iPhone until you either have the Code or it is obvious that it is not going to appear. (you need to enter the code number back on the iPhone).

  • Can you print from the iPad?

    I ordered my iPad on 6/7 but won't get it till 6/24, its on back-order, DARN!! Anyway I have what may be a silly question: Can you print from the iPad using a USB cord from the printer? I pay bills online and like to have a hard copy of the receipt. Really looking forward to getting it.

    To gloworm: regarding working with only one app open at a time, that should be taken care of when OS4 is available for the iPad - supposedly in the fall. As for using Air Sharing to print, you have to 1st get your files into the app via wifi from your computer. I have Air Sharing for both my phone and iPad and really like it. Once your files are in the app you just bring them up and touch the bottom left corner of iPad to bring up print. You can then print to any shared printer. I also use PrintCentral and like it for printing as well.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • Can you print from an iPad through the airport express

    can you print from an iPad 2 through the airport express

    You can, if your printer is AirPrint compatible.
    Check this Apple support document to see if your printer appears:

    If your printer is not compatible, you might still be able to print by adding an App like Print Central to the iPad.

  • Can I print from my iPad using wifi

    Can I print from my iPad using wifi thanks

    I know I can use Airprint and other solutions; that wasn't the point.  That will no doubt work from home but what use is that to me in other location?  I'm looking to print online purchase receipts, customer receipts, photos, emails etc.  Chances are I'll be doing all that from my PC anyway and will stick to that.  Why would I want to email my local printer and wait till it gets back to me?  And why would I want my PC on just to print?  Why wouldn't I just print direct from the PC?  I'm missing something here.   Why overcomplicate a direct process? 
    Would you be saying the same thing if mountain lion removes print access and you're told to use airprint?  No you won't!
    I want to print emails etc from my ipad as I wander different offices, or different houses.  That other software did it (at a price I wasn't acepting) and I would assume someone else will build it in eventually,  I have to ask why Apple want this controlled through one channel (largely) and can only see it as another tie-in to some money garnering solution in due course.  It can't be processing or memory limitations as its 64Gb and Apple tell me it's a powerful gadget. 
    Time to see what my Asus will allow....  can't be this bad surely, but you never know.  Trusty networked HP6 laserjet (via jetdirect box) and Oficejet8000 (duplex) aint going to be replaced in the near future.  Trusty workhorses do all I want, efficiently, effectively, and cater for 4 users in this home.

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses. 

  • Can you help me understand the use of the word POSITION in TR and CFM?

    Hi,
    I am trying to have a view of typical BI reports in TR and TM/CFM so through my research I came to the following link:.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/62/08193c38f98e1ce10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
    My problem on this link and other postings on this site seem to be the same. Can you help me understand the use of the word POSITIONS in these context:
    1. Our client has asked for financial transaction reports in BW, such as position of Borrowings, Investments and Hedge Operations (TM data).
    2. I have a requirement on, some reports related to Money Market (Fixed Term Deposits, Deposits at Notice) something on FSCM-Treasury and Risk Manager. These reports will be similar to that of Loans, i.e. Position statement, flow statement, etc.
    3. The set of position values for a single position or a limited amount of positions can be reported by transactions TPM12 and TPM13 in R3.
    4. 0CFM_C10 (Financial Positions Cube)
    Do you have some simple report outputs to help clarify how the word POSITION is used in such environments?
    Thanks

    If I future buy 10 shares in company at £1 per share - at the end of the day my potential value is £10
    The next day the shares drop tp £0.9 per share - I have a negative position - my shares are only worth £9
    I haven;t bought them yet - but I have a negative position - ie if things stayed as they are - I am going to realise (ie end up with)  a loss
    Now you can use this for loans and foreign exchange banks as well...

    I can't find the keyboard by using iMessage, but I can by using email or whatsapp? How I reset the keyboard on iMessage?

    Did you tap in the box at the bottom of iMessage?
    If you did and no keyboard is showing: Do a reset
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
    If that didn't helped, double tap Home button, delete the Message app and reset again.

  • Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

    Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

    You question is garbled. Are you saying your iPad cannot connect to a laptop with Snow Leopard? Restart your computer. Start iTunes and check for updates. If there are any updates to itunes download and install it. Then restart your computer and start iTunes.
    Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    Finally connect your iPad to your computer. Use a USB on your computer that is not on the keyboard or connected to a hub.
    If you do these things and it still doesn't show up in iTunes on your computer report back here and explain clearly just what happened.
